Let Me Tell You About The Time A Book Saved My Life In Iraq

Ok full disclosure this is not as drastic as the time One Tree Hill saved my life in Iraq.

Being A Dad Is Easy So Long As You Do Two Simple Things

For those who missed it, I recently fathered my second child. Being a parent is awesome so my wife and I decided we wanted to do it again. We were blessed to have another healthy child. My wife was an absolute rockstar and she makes being a mom look incredibly easy. Honestly, it's pretty simple when

Carrying Their Legacy: Why 9/11 Must Not Fade From Memory Now More Than Ever

If I've said it once I've said it 900 times, this is the greatest country in the world. I would not want to live anywhere else but I also need to be honest about something - we are not doing so hot right now and that's putting it mildly.  There is more division, hate, and vitriol now than I can ever

Growing Up Is Getting Comfortable Doing Things Alone That Are Awesome To Do Alone

No one prepares you to get older - it just happens. I am not sure where the last 20 years went but here we are. The beauty of growing up though, is you learn things without even realizing you're learning them at the time. There is nothing quite like learning to appreciate doing things alone. Yes, I 

Gen Z's Latest Victim: House Parties

One thing you realize as you get older is that it's very easy to find yourself saying some form of "back in my day" on a regular basis when you see kids doing something nowadays. I suspect every Friday at the Barstool Summer House down the shore we might find Dante circling up the kids to tell them 

Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins Makes History With Barstool Sports

Yes, I look fantastic in summer colors and the light was bouncing off my bald dome with just the right amount of charm for the duration of this interview.  Barstool has enjoyed a litany of cool moments and hosted a laundry list of fam

Veterans At This Flooded VFW Post Refused To Give Up, So Now Dave Portnoy Is Matching All Donations To Save It And Rebuild

Last Fall Hurricane Ida ripped through the Philly area & destroyed homes & businesses along the Schuylkill River (don’t ask me how many tries it took to spell that right). Among the destruction was VFW Post 6956 in Gladwyn, right outside the city. Water went all the way up to the ceiling and in the

With the US’ Involvement in Afghanistan Coming to a Close, What Does That Mean for Those Who Served and The People of Afghanistan?

today, President Bush issued a statement about what's going on in Afghanistan. He talked about how he believes that President biden is making a mistake and the withdrawal, in the words of the withdrawal is going down. And inside President Bush's statements, it's very hard to disagree with what he's 

NSFW: Blowjob Party For Vets At 'The Sausage Castle'

I realize we're well past Veterans Day & that I already gave a verbal recap of this event for ZeroBlog30, but I'd be remiss not to take advantage of this dreary, rainy, post-holiday Monday in NYC to brighten things up with a little reminiscing.. Thus, the video from my trip to The Sausage Castle's '

Michael Strahan, ZeroBlog30 & PFT Commenter Team Up For A Veterans Day Surprise

First of all, Michael Strahan - confirmed one of the nicest humans on the planet. A military brat himself, he politely laughed at the worst of my jokes like a true gentleman and really took the time to hang out & speak with all of us like we were old friends. And thank you to the staff at Men's Ware

Fat Shaming Is Back In A Big Way

There are moments in Zero Blog 30 where Kate comes off as a big ole softee. When we start talking about the fats, that really brings it out. It is an absolute fact that being fat in the military is frowned upon. You cant do it. Well, you cant do it for long. One of my fondest memories is being put i

DIY Goofin: Let's Build A Bookcase

This one was the first build where I needed to apply everything I've learned. We were doing rip fences, circular saws, drills, paint guns, nail guns and a little bit more. All in all, it took nearly a day to complete a bookcase that is HUGE and will last a lifetime. That's pretty cool. I threw out a
