Essentials: A Guide to Electric Scooters

Today in our Essentials series we’re going to take a look at something that's beginning to take off for adults in what was once a child dominated field: electric scooters. If you walk through the streets of cities like Austin, Paris, St. Louis, or (especially) San Francisco you'll inevitably see rechargeable electric scooters wherever you go. Scooters have become a unique and relatively inexpensive way to quickly explore a city. For clarification, we're not talking about the large electric Vespa-like scooters, we're talking about simple two wheeled kick scooters (like the Razor brand scooters) with an electric motor. It's pretty easy to get started... Read More

In our Essentials series, we like to feature things that may seem difficult at first but are rewarding once you get into them. And as always, we weren't paid to feature any of these items - they're the products we personally use and have found to be the best. Today, we’re going to take a look at what you need to get started with great teeth and fresh breath. Have you ever gone on a date and realized your breath wasn't fresh or, possibly worse, went in for a good night kiss and immediately felt a pang of regret because of improper dental hygiene? You're not alone. After a quick Google search I found a random article that... Read More

  If you’re reading this article, you may be interested in finance, but just don’t know where to begin. You may be interested in investments, or you might just be lured in by my sweet by-line. Let’s assume you are interested in investments. You’ve been working, you’ve saved some money, and you want to grow that capital and put that money to work. You want to invest, and aren’t sure where to start – whether that’s managing your own investments, or relying on someone else to do it. If the latter sounds more like you, then likely you’ve heard of the concept of financial advisors, who all are vying for the assets of individual people... Read More

Today, we’re looking at what I think is one of the greatest hobbies of all-time. Now, I’m a little bit biased since I’ve been collecting baseball, football, hockey, and basketball cards since I was four years old – but there’s a reason for my bias: this hobby is fun, exciting, and can even lead to some real financial gain. This article is going to be a brief overview of the hobby with some of the key points of which to be aware, and some links for deeper learning. We hope you enjoy! And if you really love what you see please join us at the National Sports Collectors Convention this summer – it’s a blast, and we’ll be on-site doing some... Read More

In our Essentials series, we like to feature things that may seem difficult at first but are fun and rewarding once you get into them. Today, we’re going to take a look at what you need to get started with a great cup of coffee at home. I recently visited Italy with a few friends, and it was my first time in the country – and my first time trying their coffee. I’ve always been someone who believed that most coffee tastes the same and as long as you add enough sugar and cream you’ll be able to enjoy any cup of ‘joe’. After trying more Italian coffees than I can count, my mind was changed. Once you have a good cup of coffee, it’s hard to go... Read More

We've done several articles on the rules we should all live by as men, but today may be the most important. As guys, we all have heard about the "Guy Code," but that typically only involves rules that are trying to keep men out of trouble with women. We wanted to look at the Male Friendship Code today even though we couldn't think of a better name than that. The MFC is a guide to how men should interact in their friendships with other guys. Follow these rules, and you'll strengthen friendships and probably be the coolest guy you know. All you have to do is follow these 5 simple rules to every male friendship: 1.... Read More

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 the taste for me, so I steered clear. But, as someone... Read More
