@torreywest w/ @lydiabielen   Video: How To Get Whatever You Want Call us crazy, but we believe you can have everything you want in life. The real problem? People rarely know what they want. Or, worse, think they know what they want, work their entire life to get it, only to find out they were wrong. Bummer. So yeah. Get what you want.  But take your time deciding on what you really want.   Smell Good. Feel Clean. Skip the Chemicals. [Partner]  Jack Henry’s all-natural deodorant doesn’t just fight odor—it does it better. No aluminum. No baking soda. Just a smart blend of probiotics, enzymes, and plant extracts that work with your body to trap and eliminate stink. And the scent? Subtle, natural, and damn near perfect—think forest, citrus, and confidence in a stick. Long-lasting protection without the junk.  Try it now and see why guys are ditching the drugstore stuff for good.   SHOP NOW   Video: These Beavers Don’t Fly… Until They Did When you hear “government-sanctioned wildlife relocation project,” you don’t picture beavers parachuting from the sky. But that’s exactly what happened. Beavers. Air-dropped. Paratrooper style. And here’s the craziest part.  It actually worked.   Video: The Physics of Baseball Pitches If you read the Weekend Agenda, you know we describe summer as Yes Man Season (which we stole from one of our Dear Riders, Mr. Lamb.) But how does a physicist describe summer? “Manipulating the spin and speed of a flying sphere to change its velocity and elude a homo sapien swinging a third class lever.”  AKA, baseball season.   Video: What Actually Is Yoo-hoo? The inventor saw his wife canning fruits and veggies, and thought, “That. But chocolate milk.” Bold move. But it worked out. Yoo-hoo is one of those weird paradoxes. A milk-adjacent beverage that doesn’t need refrigeration?  Moral: Pay attention to your wife, gentlemen.   THROWBACK Video: Chaotic Affairs within Fleetwood Mac That Nearly Broke up the Band Friday was the 50th anniversary of Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled album (colloquially known as The White Album). We know this because we went to a tribute concert. The wife’s co-worker’s husband was on drums. The music. The clothes. The dancing. The drama.  Closest thing we’ve felt to time travel.   The Mixer How to properly dispose of charcoal ashes when your cookout is over. Superman’s bizarre appearance on I Love Lucy. A time-travel road trip into Virginia’s Colonial Era. Hot weather tips for dog owners. These pencil and paper games. The best way to find new music on Spotify. America’s “most boring” city. Don't be 1 of the 600,000,000.* *Partner       Quotes From Smart Men “A man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds.” —Percy B.
