HAHA fair enough! I saw a bunch of other “you’re doing it wrong”s and rolled my eyes, but when I saw yours I was like, “Damn, I expected more from Kluwe!”

Hey can you shoot me an email when you get a sec? joliekerr@gmail Read more

Okay let’s back this up so I can explain the problem with “you’re doing it wrong” as a stock answer: The implication is that because you enjoy something, everyone else should too, and if they’re not it’s because you’re more talented at said thing. Now, you’re a talented guy and I can see how you might go through life Read more

Chris, I like you and I’d like to keep it that way. Don’t do the “you’re doing it wrong” thing, it’s lame and cheap, you’re better than that. Read more

I’m back!!! The podcast will run here every week, the column will stay at Esquire, and I’ll hopefully start doing some more non-cleaning stuff (like the period explainer, or How to Write a Thank You Note thing) over here in the next few months. It’s good to be home! Read more

It’s likely a goner but there’s always hope. Try cornstarch first (anthill-style pile on the stain, leave for 24 hours, brush away, inspect) then try treating with Lesoil and laundering if the stain is still there. Let me know how you do! Read more

Will do, pal! I’ll maybe save that until September when Dave returns from hobo-ing/we do Laundry School. Read more

Nah. Shower is worse than beach. Let’s do this properly, shall we? Read more

Sharing a bed is monstrous, but sharing a shower is still worse. At least in a bed you can have separate blankets to create a modicum of space. Read more

This is the second reference to “Just One of the Guys” I’ve seen today and I’m legit thrilled about it. Read more

Is this also the place where we’ll be talking about the fact that shower sex/showering together is the fucking worst?

Have you tried rubbing alcohol? It’s really good on ink and dye stains. Try that out and let me know how you do! Read more

Man, a cat was a dicey choice to accompany this request. I’ll allow it for today, but next time, bring dachshunds. Read more

Yes, exactly! Wait, no ... my asshole is NOT dirty, and you can’t make me say it is. Read more

I was, no joke, thinking of you this morning and hoping you’d show up. Good to see you, friend. Read more

Tell me what you used that was so life-changing! We need to revisit the topic at some point (mostly as an excuse to rant about bad gym behavior.) Read more
