"We All Want to be Kenny Powers" by Tom Chiarella - Esquire.com

Quick hitter here. Tom Chiarella waxes philosophic on whether we want to laugh at Kenny Powers, or laugh with him. I mean, I haven't watched Eastbound and Down in a while, but at the end of season one he bangs the big tittied chick right? Doesn't everybody want to do that? Why would we laugh at him? Banging chicks with big tits is cool. Everybody knows that.

"I Don't Want to Bro Up, I'm an Entourage Kid" by Carles - Grantland.com

First off, is this the best title ever posted on Poop Reads? I think it might be. Carles from Hipster Runoff writes a pretty funny, pretty insightful article on Entourage and the state of the American Bro. Do bros need to grow up at some point? Can you be a bro and also be a man in full? Does it matter?

Honestly some of the biggest bros I know are some of the most successful people I know too. Like sometimes I think the harder you bro out in life the better you do. Because being a bro is about being loyal, being funny, and rolling with the punches. Those are first-line bro traits. If you don't have those three you can throw all the ancillary bro traits right out the window, because you ain't no bro, brah. And it just so happens that being loyal, funny, and easy going can get you pretty damn far in this world.


p.s. This little bro who just sang the anthem at the Eagles-Steelers game has got to be kidding me. I can sing better than that.

"Hugging It Out" by Chuck Klosterman and Molly Lambert - Grantland.com

Listen I don't watch Entourage because the good Lord saw fit to grant me some semblance of taste, but if you do watch it, well first of all you're probably not reading this blog because Poop Readers are nothing if not tasteful. And before I talk myself in a circle here, lemme just leave it like this: If you're gonna read about this abortion of a television program, you might as well let Chuck Klosterman do the writing.


p.s. One time I was at a party with Adrian Grenier, and I guarantee you if you are a male human being with two balls and a cock, you could 100% beat his ass. Guy's built like a dirty lollipop and he took down a chick that night whose waffles I wouldn't have wasted time farting on in the morning. You can take that to the bank and cash it.

p.p.s. That's not a humblebrag either.

p.p.p.s. Her actual waffles.
