It’s almost inevitable that one day your career sends you down the path to a small space that we in the industry call “The Cube”. You know what I’m talking about, and if you don’t, trust me, you will soon. This is a ‘4 x 6’ area where wills are broken, dreams are put on the back burner, and the only glimpse into your personal life are those lame pennants of your old alma-mater and maybe a photo of your friends/family that dates back to a much happier time. That’s why we’ve decided to make you a list of survival techniques to follow, so that when you get here, you can be as... READ MORE Man Vs. Cube: A Guide To Surviving Office Life

So you already have your information on gear and also some injuries, now it's time to run your first mile. If you are new to running, chances are you'll be thinking one of two things right now, 1) a mile is really, really far & that's pretty much impossible or 2) a mile isn't that far & that will be a piece of cake. The first mile of any race or run can make or break you; it's where you set your pace and where you can lose most of your energy quickly if you're out of the gates too fast. The first mile is a great gauge, because believe me; once you're able to run a mile easily, you're much more capable of pushing... READ MORE Running: Your First Mile

This one goes out to all of the Cube Heads out there - that's right, I said Cube Heads. No longer am I going to let us be condescended upon by that awful term Cube "Monkeys".

So, I channeled my inner Guy Fieri and made my soon to be famous Inside-out Bourbon Burgers (which are completely different from Mike's Bourbon Bleu Burgers). Apparently we put bourbon in all our food here. But, you would too if you had to work with Ray. Now onto the burgers...

The 80's were pretty awesome, and two prime examples of that are Rocky Balboa and GI Joe. Yes, I know Rocky came out in the 70's, but it was huge in the 80's. Except for the 5th movie (the one that doesn't count), and from this day forward we will not mention it again at Bro Council Headquarters. Luckily, Rocky Balboa made up for that horrible excuse for a movie. Now to the exciting part: the above pictures are from an un-released Rocky G.I. Joe figure. Yes, Rocky Balboa almost followed in the footsteps of Sgt. Slaughter and William "The Refrigerator" Perry to become celebrity G.I. Joes. "Almost" is... READ MORE Was There A "Rocky Balboa" G.I.

A Guys and Girls take on a classic food debate. Provolone cheese or Cheese Whiz on your Philly Cheesesteaks? Ray's Intro: I'm a big fan of beef, cheese, onions, and bread. Put them together and you have an awesome creation. I've had them all over the US, and my favorite place to eat one is at the original, Pat's King of Steaks in Philadelphia, PA. There is also a competitor called Geno's Steaks across the street, and I was never too into them. The reason being is that they focused on cheese whiz as a topping as opposed to my beloved provolone. That just seemed like it would ruin... READ MORE Food Showdown: Cheesesteaks - Provolone Or Whiz?

Today, we’re looking at what I think is one of the greatest hobbies of all-time.
