Timeless watches remain a core accessory for men, but how they're used has changed over time. Like divers and field watches, the average pilot watch likely won't be used for its original purpose, but that doesn’t mean its features don’t come in handy for day-to-day use. Designed for the cockpit, many pilot watches have large, legible numerals and features like lume that make them easy to read, like this popular under-$300 Citizen watch that's now even more affordable.

The Citizen Eco-Drive 3-Hand Avion Watch is on a limited-time sale on Amazon for just $159—36% off the typical $250 price. Citizen’s watches are trusted yet affordable, and the Avion watch is no different. This stylishly rugged timepiece has earned over 2,400 five-star ratings from shoppers who love it for its refined intricacies and wear-anytime style.

The face is handsome yet detail-rich, featuring numbers for minutes and hours in both 12- and 24-hour formats. A three-hand design lets you keep time to the second, and there’s also a date window at the 3 o’clock position. The case is a hefty 45mm, so it may not suit the most slender wrists, but the relatively thin case keeps it from feeling too bulky. It comes with a substantial leather strap with contrasting stitching for a rugged look. Citizen's solar-powered Eco-Drive tech recharges the battery with light, but it doesn’t necessarily need to sit in the sun; it can recharge using indoor lighting, too. The hands have lume, although the numerals don’t, so it may not be the top pick for low-light settings.

Shoppers were impressed with the aesthetics of the watch. One shopper called it the “perfect mix of ruggedness and elegance,” adding that it’s “very refined.” Another shopper dubbed it “classy and timeless” and appreciated the “clean lines” and lack of “garish” details.

Other shoppers appreciated the functionality of the Eco-Drive tech and the watch's timekeeping ability. One shopper said it's “as accurate as any quartz watch I have ever owned.” They noted, “You don’t have to worry about changing batteries every year or two,” and added, “Wearing this watch outside for one day a week is enough to keep it ‘charged’ up and ready to go.”

Despite the prevalence of smartwatches and phones, a wristwatch is arguably the best distraction-free way to keep time. For under $200, Citizen’s Eco-Drive 3-Hand Date Avion Watch marries form and function thanks to its attractive, classic look and convenient and remarkably accurate solar-powered quartz movement. As a limited-time deal, this sale won’t last long, so you’ll want to act quickly to take advantage of the savings.

2. How to Master Amazon Sex Position, According to a Sex Therapist05:05[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

The Amazon sex position is a fairly new sex position and a serious internet sensation—for good reason. This athletic, woman-dominating stance has a lot to offer among fun and different sex positions.

It gets its name from the mythical women-only warrior tribe, the Amazons, from ancient Greece. The Amazons are featured in many epic poems and stories, known for their battle skills, strength, courage, and beauty—oh, and for living on an island without any men. The Amazons have popped up again in recent pop culture, due to the Wonder Woman movie, the heroine of which (Diana Prince) is from the Amazon tribe.

With this history in mind, the Amazon sex position was born. It's empowering and emboldening, making it one of the best sex positions for women.

What Is the Amazon Sex Position?

Amazon sex position looks like a mix of cowgirl/rider and missionary sex positions. The vulva-owner rides the penetrative partner—like in cowgirl position—only the giver’s legs are pulled up toward their chest.

Be warned, this position requires some serious flexibility, mobility, and balance. But if you’re ready to give the Amazon sex position a whirl, this is everything you need to know.

How to Do the Amazon Sex Position

The Amazon sex position is a riff on cowgirl, only the penetrating partner pulls their knees to their chest.

Katie Buckleitner

  1. The penetrative partner lies on their back and bends their knees 90 degrees to table top position, to start. Ideally, they'll draw their knees all the way to their chest—similar to happy baby pose in yoga—but this isn’t necessary for the position to work.
  2. The receiver straddles the giver, aligning the genitals and holding the penetrative partner's lower legs or knees. This will aid in their balance and support, but also lessen the giver's fatigue from holding their legs up.
  3. The receiver gently lowers themselves onto the giver's penis or dildo, moving slowly at first. Once in position, the receiver can bounce up and down, using their legs for leverage, or gyrate with full control over speed and depth of penetration.

Modifications to Make Amazon Position More Enjoyable

You can certainly add a whole host of sex toys for men and sex toys for women to the Amazon sex position—just be sure you have the balancing part down pat before you add something like cock rings.

1. Add a Wand Vibrator

Doxy Extra Powerful Wand Massager has a head circumference of 7.5 inches; the larger surface area doesn't miss a spot.

This is a great position for sex toys. We’d suggest a wand vibrator, as the long base makes it easier for the rider to use on themselves—providing much-needed clitoral stimulation. Doxy Extra Powerful Wand Massager is an excellent choice for this. The cast aluminum head has a cushioned cover for greater comfort and tactile buttons to switch between settings and speeds. Just note this needs to be plugged into an outlet while in use.

2. Try a Couples' Vibrator or Cock Ring

We-Vibe Sync 2, Dame Eva, and Fun Factory Nos C-Ring are among the best Amazon position sex toys.

You can also incorporate a couples’ vibrator, which is designed to be worn during penetrative sex. We-Vibe Sync 2 and Dame Eva are excellent couples’ toys that get the job done. You can also try a vibrating cock-ring like Fun Factory Nos C-Ring.

3. Use a Good-Quality Lube

Good Clean Love Almost Naked Lube and Lovehoney Water-Based Lubricant are compatible with any sex toy and condom.

Lastly, be sure to get a high-quality lubricant to enhance comfort and overall pleasure. A water-based lubricant is always the best choice, especially if you’re using silicone sex toys, as a silicone lube can break down the toy over time. Some great choices are Good Clean Love Almost Naked Lube, a water- and aloe-based lube that's gynecologist-recommended and safe for use with silicone toys; and Lovehoney Water-Based Lube, which is compatible with all sex toys, as well as latex and polyurethane condoms.

Best Amazon Position Sex Variations

Top Cat

Top Cat is a variation on the Amazon sex position where the top partner kneels before the bottom partner, rather than straddling.

Illustration by Katie Buckleitner

Why It's Great

This is a slight variation to the Amazon sex position in that the receiving partner doesn't straddle the giver. Instead, they kneel on the inside of their partner’s legs. This is great if the receiving partner has limited hip flexibility. After all, who needs to be that acrobatic when the same power dynamics can be achieved with greater ease?

How to Do It

  1. The penetrative partner lies on their back and bends their knees 90 degrees to table top position, to start.
  2. The receiving partner kneels in between their legs, rather than straddling them with their knees outside the giver's hips.
  3. The partner on top can lean forward on their hands for support or lie flat against their partner's chest. The partner on bottom can wrap their legs around the receiver's low back (this can help take the strain off the hip flexors).

Pro Tip

The vulva-owner can slide up and down their partner’s body to better stimulate the clitoris, much like they would while doing the coital alignment technique.

Reverse Amazon Sex Position

Reverse Amazon sex position flips the classic so the receiver squats onto the giver and bounces up and down, like reverse cowgirl.

Illustration by Katie Buckleitner

Why It's Great

Some people lose their inhibitions when they're not making direct eye contact with their partner. This variation still puts the vulva-owner in control, but removes their sightlines.

How to Do It

  1. The penetrative partner lies on their back and bends their knees 90 degrees to table top position, to start.
  2. The vulva-owner slowly squats over their partner's dildo or penis, facing away, and either balances on their feet (harder) or knees (easier).
  3. Once settled, the vulva-owner can rest their hands on either side of their partner's hips or stimulate their clitoris.

Pro Tip

How you decide to move in this position is entirely up to you, but we suggest a gentle bouncing motion or rocking back and forth.

Squatting Cowgirl

Squatting cowgirl is the perfect amalgamation of cowgirl and Amazon sex positions, where the receiver fully sits on the giver.

Illustration by Katie Buckleitner

Why It's Great

Squatting cowgirl allows the receiver to keep the dom energy alive without having to do any sexual heavy-lifting. This position makes bouncing up and down pretty easy, as they have the full power of their legs.

How to Do It

  1. The penetrative partner lies on their back and extends their legs in the air, to start.
  2. The vulva-owner, squats over the giver, facing them, lowering onto their penis or dildo, planting the soles of their feet next to their partner's waist. Both partners can hold onto each other for support.
  3. Think of this like a yogi squat—only with penetration. Bounce up and down, but be mindful not to hurt the penis-owner.

Pro Tip

If the vulva-owner starts to get the dreaded quad burn, swap to classic cowgirl. Because this requires a lot of hamstring flexibility for the giver, be sure to stretch first.

Amazon Position Sex Benefits

  1. Amazon sex position encourages for direct eye contact, making it both hot and intimate.
  2. It allows the vulva-owner to access their clitoris quite easily, as their hands are free. The rider may also be able to generate some contact friction on the clitoris while riding, but this will depend on each person’s anatomy.
  3. Possibly the most exciting benefit of Amazon sex position is the power play it offers. The vulva-owner is in the dominant position, which can really flip cultural scripts. There's something deeply hot about being dominated by your female or femme partner. Engaging in power play is a fun way to spice up the eroticism in the bedroom and be a better lover. It’s not just that the Amazon is a new and athletic position, it also offers you and your partner alternative roles in the bedroom.
  4. Speaking of the athleticism involved, we also rate this position for its visual appeal. Sometimes it’s fun to try some sexual acrobatics.
  5. Lastly, if you or your partner experience pain or discomfort during penetration, this position can be a lifesaver. Due to the position of the penis-owner’s body, it’s unlikely they’ll be able to penetrate super deeply, which can help with pain.

Potential Downsides of Amazon Sex Position

  1. One big downside of Amazon sex position is it’s relatively advanced and hard to do. Since this position requires the penetrating partner to bring their thighs all the way to their chest, it can cause hip discomfort. For the person being penetrated, they may find it difficult to move up and down (or back and forth) while trying to keep their partner's legs in place. You’re also going to need some serious core strength to rock this one.
  2. Another setback? This position is a designated LDP (long dick position). Because the penis/dildo needs to reach past the inserting partner’s thighs, length is crucial. It can become quite challenging, if not impossible, if the penis or dildo lacks the length to reach. While size certainly doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of amazing sex, different positions are better suited for different anatomies.

Luckily, with our helpful toys and variations, you can customize this position to work for you.

3. WWE Star Mick Foley Shares Weight Loss Journey Update02:54[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Mick Foley is a certified WWE legend, having won a plethora of titles before retiring in 2012. And although it's been more than a decade since he wrestled for WWE, Foley wants to get back in the ring. He just needs to get back in fighting shape first.

Foley, known for years professionally as Cactus Jack, first floated the possibility of a one-and-done comeback fight on his podcast last month. "Sixty is right around the corner, [and] I'm thinking about doing one final match for my 60th birthday," he said. "Deathmatch. I'm not kidding. I think it would be a great incentive to drop those 100 big ones, and I think it might be fun."

Foley has been on a weight loss journey to make his dream come true before he hits the big 6-0 in June of next year. On March 27, the WWE Hall of Famer gave an update on his progress on his YouTube. He's been working with OVW wrestlers Crystal White and Katie Gannon, known as a duo as the Von Rockettes, to get his workout routine together. So far, Foley is down to 348 pounds from a high of 372, so while he's a quarter of the way there, he's well on his way to his goal.

"I clearly have a long way to go, but already I feel like I'm moving around a little bit better compared to two or three months ago where I thought I could never get in shape. Now, I'm pretty confident that I've got this," he smiled proudly.

Foley has just over a year left to reach his goal. If you're inspired by his experience, always make sure to consult your physician before embarking on a new fitness regimen.

Business casual shoes are everywhere right now, thanks partly to Cole Haan and its revolutionary Zerogrand shoe blowing up over the last decade. These hybrid dress shoes opt for a sneaker sole instead of hard leather, making them more comfortable, shock absorbent, and easier to wear all day. But it doesn't stop there—boots have started to get the sneaker treatment as well, and conveniently, one of Cole Haan's more refined styles just took a staggering discount for a limited time.

The Cole Haan 2.Zerogrand Chukka Boot is now on sale for a limited time on Amazon for as low as $87—up to 52% off the normal $180 price. This take on the classic silhouette is available in sizes 7 through 13 in a handful of sharp colors that range in price, but the monochromatic black is the most affordable option.

Cole Haan’s sneakerized chukka is a modern take that features a grippy rubber wedge sole with grooved tread and panels at the toe and heel to add extra grip. The sole also has EVA foam for a responsive step that reduces fatigue. The upper is made from soft, lightweight leather and uses a three-eyelet design with a heel tab to make it easy to slip on and off. The subtle branding on the tongue and heel and the simple stitching keep the boots looking modern and minimal.

Shoppers appreciated the shoes’ performance and aesthetics, with one saying they enjoyed the “sneaker feel with dress shoe look,” adding, “I walk nine miles a day on concrete.” Another shopper appreciated how easy they were to style, writing, “I dress them up with a pair of slacks or dress them down with a pair of jeans or khakis and they always look great.”

The shoes’ lightweight construction and comfortable fit were selling points as well, with multiple shoppers calling them “lightweight and comfortable,” and one adding, “I bought two pairs in different colors.” Another shopper called them “out-of-the-box comfortable,” complimenting the shoes for their “lightweight, well-made, supple leather, and fitting true to size.”

If you’re looking for a comfortable, lightweight pair of boots for work, travel, a night out, and everything in between, consider picking up these stylishly modern chukka boots from Cole Haan during this limited-time sale.

5. Secret Moonshine Cave Seemingly Found Under NASCAR Speedway02:09[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Visitors to North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina have shown up for some exciting races over the years, but the racetrack's storied history is much deeper than what meets the eye. For decades, locals have spoken of a hidden abandoned moonshine distillery underneath the spectator seats, but officials haven't been able to confirm its existence. However, they did just find something interesting while completing construction work on the property.

Steve Swift, the senior vice president of operations and development for Speedway Motorsports, gave an interesting update in a March 26 statement.

"When we began renovating and restoring North Wilkesboro Speedway in 2022, we’d often hear stories of how an old moonshine still was operated here on the property under the grandstands," Swift said. "Well, we haven’t found find a still (yet), but we’ve found a small cave and an interior wall that would have been the perfect location to not only make illegal liquor, but to hide from the law as well."

The tight space is seemingly hard for purported bootleggers to get in, and Swift vowed to keep fans updated as construction crews continue their work. "We don’t know how people would have gotten in and out, but as we uncover more, there’s no telling what we might find," he said.

The racetrack only has a limited time to keep working. It's removed about 600 seats from the stands so far and is repairing its foundation and replacing the concrete in advance of NASCAR All-Star Race Week in May. "Now we have a race before the race," Swift remarked.

6. Sage Steele Confuses Dana White for Joe Rogan in Interview00:27[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Veteran sports commentator Sage Steele is embarking on a new journey with The Sage Steele Show. The brand-new podcast debuted March 26 as a part of Bill Maher's Club Random network, and her first guest for the inaugural episode was UFC president and CEO Dana White. Toward the end of their interview, however, Steele apparently forgot who she was talking to.

For her last question, Steele asked White a simple query: "What is Joe Rogan's dream?" White tilted his head and repeated "What's Joe Rogan's dream?" Steele replied "Joe Rogan, Dana White" and realized she'd mixed up the two names, then chuckled and tapped White's leg in apology before asking the question again with a correction: "What's Dana White's dream?"

White didn't immediately answer and wanted to confirm what just happened. "Did you just think I was Joe Rogan?" he said after taking a sip from his mug. Steele fessed up, admitting "I totally did" as she smiled and dropped her head.

"She just called me f--kin' Joe Rogan!" White said to someone off-camera before turning back to Steele. "You just called me f--kin' Joe Rogan!" Steele implied that she knew the difference between the two and that it was just a slip-up.

White acknowledged how similar he and Rogan look today, but the UFC head was quick to point out that he's been rocking his hairstyle—or lack thereof—longer than Rogan has. "I was bald before Joe was ever bald, okay?" He later stated plainly that he flew in for the interview and sat down with her for two hours only to be mistaken for someone else. "I flew here from Vegas and she thought she was interviewing Joe Rogan," he said.

Steele, for her part, explained that it wasn't necessarily the bald look that tripped her up. "Joe Rogan and Dana White are literally the only two people that I have the [utmost] respect for because of how you freaking stood up and support others, so forgive that [mistake]," she said.

As for the answer to Steele's original question, White reflected on his health journey in recent years and examined how he views his life and his career. "I'm always trying to be better than I was today. Tomorrow I want to be better than I am today. So how do I achieve that? I set these short-term goals, whether it's a year, two years, three years, depending on what it is in my life or my business," he said. "I guess my dreams would be to reach these goals that I set for myself and my life. That's it."

"It's not that I dream. Dreaming doesn't get you anything. Setting goals gets you everything," he concluded. "Dreams don't accomplish anything. Goals do."

White laughed off the name mix-up and shared that people on the street come up to him all the time to take photos with him thinking he's actually Rogan. So if you run into either of them, make sure you know which one you're talking to.

7. David Beckham Goes Beast Mode With Shirtless Abdominal WorkoutСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

David Beckham may have retired from professional soccer more than a decade ago. But you wouldn't know it by looking at the 48-year-old, who often shares his fitness routines on social media, typically appearing in various states of undress.

Such was the case on Wednesday when Beckham posted a short video to Instagram performing a set of hanging knee raises. The workout move is a great way to target the lower abs by hanging straight from a bar, tightening the core and bringing the knees up to the chest at a 90-degree angle, then lowering the legs back down to the starting position and repeating at an even tempo.

"'Knee’s up to your chest,'" he captioned the video, tagging performance coach Bobby Rich and telling him to "shut up." "[Hair is] a mess, that’s more important right now," he added, of his trademark undercut hairstyle.

Of course, maintaining a healthy routine and staying in shape has been important to the former footballer, even in retirement. In a television interview back in 2019, Beckham spilled some of the secrets behind keeping himself in peak shape.

"You don't have to go and spend a huge amount of money going to the gym," he said at the time. "Three or four times a week I walk my daughter to school instead of driving her, or she bikes home with me. It's the little things that make a difference."

However, he did admit that sometimes it could be difficult finding time to workout when you're raising a family. "It's a struggle, when you get older, waking up in the morning, getting all the kids out of the door to school on time," he added.

8. Shoppers Are Ditching Their Metal Grill Brushes for This $40 Amazon Bestseller That 'Cleans a Grill Way Better'Ср, 27 мар[-/+]

Last year, a TikTok video went viral after a pediatric doctor recounted a 4-year-old patient who was complaining about ear pain after a barbecue. It wasn't until more than a week later, after numerous tests and doctor visits, that a CAT scan finally revealed a small metal wire lodged in the boy's tonsil area. Knowing that the discomfort occurred after he ate the hamburger, the doctor deduced that the small metal shard had broken off a metal grill brush and got trapped in the boy's meal.

The video, which now has over 5.2 million views, has unlocked a new fear in barbecue lovers because there aren't many other ways to clean a grill. But recently, shoppers have been flocking to a newer, innovative type of grill brush that's taken Amazon by storm.

The Grill Rescue Grill Brush ditches the abrasive and potentially dangerous wire bristles for a special foam head that's used to steam clean the grate. This brush is currently the No. 1 bestselling grill brush on Amazon with over 5,000 units sold in the last month. This essential grill accessory earned over 3,800 five-star ratings from shoppers who say it's a high-quality product that really works, with some sharing stories similar to that of the pediatric doctor.

Grill Rescue Grill Brush, $40 on Amazon

This grill brush was made with a food-grade polypropylene handle and a heat-retardant foam head that's wrapped in a high-temperature Aramid fiber originally designed for the military. It's safe for any type of gas, charcoal, pellet, or flat-top grill that has a porcelain, cast iron, stainless steel, or ceramic grate. It couldn't be easier to use: Simply heat your grill to about 400 degrees, thoroughly dunk the brush in water, and have at the built-up grime. The steam works to weaken the stuck-on bits, and anything that doesn't want to budge can be handled away with the flat scraper. When you're done, toss it in the dishwasher or washing machine to get it ready for the next round of cleaning.

Shoppers have been thrilled with their Grill Rescue brushes, many of them reveling in the peace of mind its bristle-less design gives them. "Years ago, I swallowed a single bristle that I fortunately was able to reach and clear with my finger way, way down my throat," a shopper shared. "This is a no-joke tool! I remember seeing the Grill Rescue in an ad and bought it for our new grill."

And, even though it costs more than a traditional grill brush, shoppers are glad to pay more for the added benefits. "This grill cleaner is definitely on the pricey side, but it cleans a grill way better than any brush I have used," a shopper attested. "Plus, no bristles left on the grill, which I'm pretty paranoid about after finding a bristle in a burger I made one day. But you don't have to worry about that with this cleaner."

But, above all, many are just glad to have a less-risky option. "The barbecue is better sanitized with the hot steam, and this is much safer to use than the wire brush," a shopper said.

This grilling season, reconsider your old wire brush for something that has no bristles to leave behind in the Grill Rescue Grill Brush. Not only is it a suitable option for nearly all grill types, but it's one you can feel confident about when cooking for your family and friends.

9. Videos Show 'Heartbroken' Escaped Ostrich Leading Cops on Chase Through TrafficСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

A wily ostrich named Tadori escaped from a South Korean zoo, leading local police officers on an hour-long foot chase through heavy traffic. Reuters reported that the four-year-old male ostrich made his escape from the Bug City Zoo in Seongnam, within the Gyeonggi Province, on Tuesday at around 9:30 a.m. local time.

Tadori immediately fled into the city’s rush-hour traffic, leading officers on a marathon chase to capture him. Officials suspect that his jailbreak had to do with the grief the ostrich is experiencing after the death of his female companion, Tasooni, last month. Tasooni was described as Tadori’s “only friend.”

Zoo officials immediately noticed Tadori’s escape and contacted fire officials and police for help in safely recovering the animal.

Although ostriches can’t fly, they’re the fastest-running birds in the world, according to National Zoo. They can run up to speeds of 30 to 37 mph and can sprint as fast as 43 mph. Their feet are capable of clearing 10 feet in a single step.

Videos widely circulated on social media show Tadori’s run for freedom. In one clip, recorded from the back of a taxi by Instagram user @ola.__.m, Tadori can be seen fleeing across five lanes of streaming traffic. At one point, as the camera is pivoting to the other side of the vehicle, you can hear Tadori get hit by a delivery truck. The camera catches up with him as he picks himself up from the ground and once again takes off running.

In another clip from slightly later on in the chase, Tidori is captured jogging next to a bus, looking a bit like Tom Cruise in one of the Mission: Impossible sequels.

Tadori was apprehended in a parking garage about an hour after his escape. Rescuers used a large net to lure and eventually trap the escaped fowl. The zoo’s owner, Choi Yun-joo, reported that the ostrich miraculously incurred no injuries during his brief adventure, despite coming into contact with the delivery van. Tadori is currently back in his enclosure and enjoying a well-earned rest.

10. Nordstrom's Spring Sale Has Up to 50% Off Cole Haan, Faherty, and More—These Are the 4 Styles You Need to SeeСр, 27 мар[-/+]

Nordstrom is in the thick of its spring sale, offering shoppers deals of up to 50% off brands like Cole Haan, AllSaints, Boss, and many more. The sale, which runs until April 2, features over 10,000 products that are selling rather quickly. Whether it's new spring khaki pants, a pair of dress sneakers, or even just men's essentials, you'll want to take a look around soon to find exactly what you need.

While the sale has a solid mix of casual and dressy attire, one of the most prominent themes we've found is return-to-office styles, including men's blazers, button-down shirts, and even complete suits from brands like Theory, Ted Baker, and Canali for as low as $347. There are also nearly 1,000 shoe styles marked down during the sale, including dozens from Nike, Ecco, and Magnanni.

After Men's Journal browsed through the men's clothing deals during Nordstrom's spring sale, we found these four that are must-grabs before they sell out.

Some of the best deals during Nordstrom's spring sale are on its house brand products, like this effortless button-up shirt. A smart-casual staple, this shirt is a generously cut slim fit that isn't too long to wear untucked. It's on sale in four colors and comes in sizes XS through 2XL. Why this classic pique button-up shirt is on sale right now, we're not sure. What we do know is that it's lightweight, breathable, and flexible—all the ingredients you need to look for in the perfect spring/summer shirt.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Really nice shirt—almost as soft as the blanket shirt from Faherty, but not quite. Good substitute for less than half of the price. It's not quite the same, it's a bit more dressy and a bit less casual. I dress it up with a nice chocolate corduroy blazer and it's perfect or wear it with some jeans alone."

Cole Haan has made some of the most essential men's dress shoes for decades, and right now, the one every man needs is the Harrison Grand 2.0 derby. This simple cap-toe dress shoe features the brand's supportive and well-cushioned Grandfoam footbed, a textured rubber sole and heel inlay, and cleaner lines than a Ferrari. Had you bought them at full price, you would have been raving about how great of a purchase they were, which makes getting them at over 30% off even sweeter. Find it in sizes 7 through 15 while they're still available.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Beautiful classic dress show that felt worked-in as soon as I put it on. I didn’t really have time before the wedding to wear it, but it looked great and felt fantastic!"

Many of Faherty's shirt jackets make you feel like you're wearing a blanket, as noted by the aforementioned shopper, but this chore coat is a little more on the nose. Made from a combination of wool and nylon, this patch pocket top layer is one of the coziest substitutions for a blazer. It's warm but not overbearing and would look just as good with a pair of trousers and dress shoes as it will with a pair of beach-bumming Hey Dude slip-ons, shorts, and a band tee.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Wow! I didn't know I could like a coat so much. Very soft and comfortable. I am 5 foot 8, 150 pounds, and got a small. The sleeves are just a tad long (all of my clothes are that way) but otherwise, it fits great! Get one before they are gone."

11. Caitlin Clark Receives 'Historic' Multimillion-Dollar Offer, But Not From the WNBAСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Caitlin Clark has become one of the biggest names in college basketball history during her tenure at the University of Iowa. Now approaching graduation and preparing for the upcoming WNBA draft, Clark will have different options to choose from in the coming months. Rapper and actor Ice Cube has offered her a lucrative path after leaving school.

On March 27, Ice Cube confirmed on social media that Big3, the basketball league he founded in 2017, has offered Clark a $5 million contract to play in the league. He "intended the offer to remain private" as Clark plays in the women's March Madness tournament but went ahead and acknowledged that a deal was on the table.

"I won't deny what's now already out there: Big3 made a historic offer to Caitlin Clark. Why wouldn't we? Caitlin is a generational athlete who can achieve tremendous success in the Big3," the former N.W.A. rapper said.

— Ice Cube (@icecube) March 27, 2024

He went on to describe just how big of a move it could be not just for Clark, but for women in basketball as a whole.

"The skeptics laughed when we made Nancy Lieberman the first female coach of a men's pro team, and she won the championship in her first year. Then Lisa Leslie won it all in year two," he said. "With our offer, Caitlin Clark can make history and break down even more barriers for women athletes."

Clark, who has broken records during her college career, is expected to be the Indiana Fever's number-one pick at the WNBA draft on April 15. The WNBA's regular season begins in May, with playoffs starting in September, while the Big3 season runs from mid-June to mid-August. According to CNN, the offer is for up to 10 games, including eight regular season games and two playoff games. Whether she would be able to participate in both remains a question.

When explaining why Clark received the offer, Ice Cube noted that many WNBA athletes, such as Brittney Griner, have to play for teams in other parts in the world in the offseason just to earn money.

"America’s women athletes should not be forced to spend their offseasons playing in often dismal and dubious foreign countries just to make ends meet," the rapper said. "And they should have more than just one professional option in the U.S. at a time when American pro sports leagues are being infiltrated by autocratic, anti-women regimes such as Qatar. Our pathbreaking offer to Caitlin Clark demonstrates that Big3 now offers another choice for athletes."

12. We Tested Dozens of Running Shoes. These Are the Best for High ArchesСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Men’s Journal aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

If you have high arches, you often have to search far and wide for running shoes that work for you. Although not always the case, many times because it's because you experience a constant ache in the midfoot caused by overworking your plantar fascia, the thick but flexible strand of tissue that connects your heel to the ball of your foot.

I’ve had plantar fasciitis since I was in high school, and while I’ve mostly gotten it under control, there are still some weeks where I can’t escape arch soreness. If you’re like me, when you find a running shoe that's comfortable, you stick with it.

After testing dozens of pairs, I rounded up the best running shoes for high arches. I also spoke with Dylan Sykes, D.P.T. and 2:25 marathoner, on how to choose the best shoe for your specific needs. The best overall pick is Asics Novablast 4 because it's a versatile shoe, responsive for the days you're feeling the need for speed, but plush enough for easy days.

Best Overall Running Shoe for High Arches: Asics Novablast 4

Asics Novablast 4

Courtesy Image

When I’m out running I don’t want to think too hard about what’s on my feet; it either works or it doesn’t. Asics Novablast 4 just works. Over the past couple months, the it's been the first shoe out of my closet for standard training miles.

As one the best running shoes from Asics, the Novablast midsole is bouncier but stiffer than the previous version, yet it retains its plush, snug ride. While the upper feels more insulated than the previous Novablast, it locks my foot down better, which keeps me riding right on the super supportive midsole. I felt the older version lacked arch support, as my foot rolled inward slightly. The updated midsole feels a lot more balanced for any runner, especially high arch runners like me. All this adds up to a versatile shoe: responsive for speedy days, plush for easy days. For $140, there aren't many better trainers out there.

As with many plush trainers these days, the outsole is mainly foam, so it wears down relatively quickly and doesn't grip bumpy terrain as well as other shoes. But don't let that stop you from enjoying the ride it provides.

Weight: 9.2 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 8mm

Pros:

  • Doesn’t feel wobbly or unstable for a max-stack shoe.
  • Soft and supportive ride, great for high arches.
  • Versatile for an everyday trainer.
  • Excellent value.
  • New upper provides better lockdown than previous version.

Cons:

  • New upper is more insulated, which can make feet feel warm.
  • Not super durable or grippy.

Best Stability Running Shoe for High Arches: Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23

Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 has firm "guiderails" that run along each side of the shoe to prevent the foot from collapsing inwards or rolling outwards. While stability shoes don't always suit runners with high arches (as it depends on whether or not you overpronate), the Adrenaline is plush enough to balance out the firmer stability features.

Similar to Brooks Ghost 15, the Adrenaline is nearly universally beloved for its cushioning and fit. The shoe’s popularity isn’t a fluke; it’s just a testament to how well it works for so many people, myself included. It’s easy to find a version that fits you right, a colorway that you’re excited to wear, and once you’re out logging miles, the shoe is comfortable and fun to run in.

Weight: 10.1 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 12mm

Pros:

  • Reliable fit and comfortable, plush feel.
  • Not overly stiff, but still supportive.
  • Classic, utilitarian upper and lacing.

Cons:

  • High heel-toe drop isn’t for everyone.
  • Stability features may feel weird to neutral runners.

Best Max Cushion Running Shoe for High Arches: Skechers GoRUN Max Road 6

Skechers GoRUN Max Road 6

I try not to break out my favorite max cushion phrase too much, but Skechers GoRUN Max Road 6 are certified 'plush puppies.' When my dogs (feet) are barking, I slide on the latest Max Road for easy miles.

The Max Road 6 is a big step up in cushioning from the previous version, and the carbon-infused midsole is thick and soft. They have one of my favorite road outsoles, too—made from Michelin rubber. Not only running long in these, I also spent two 12 hour days moving my things and my feet were just fine.

I notice that the shoe cradles my arch from heel to toe, making it a great choice for high arch runners. I value that support—and the extremely supple feel underfoot—for recovery runs. Sure, they aren’t fast or versatile, but at $130 they are more affordable than most max cushion competitors. One last thing I noticed: the upper isn’t breathable, so the shoe heats up after awhile. However, the upper never leads to slippage or irritation.

Weight: 11 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 6mm

Pros:

  • High stack height and carbon-infused cushioning makes for super comfortable ride.
  • Accommodating, locked down fit.
  • Durable, tacky midsole rubber.

Cons:

  • Thick, unbreathable upper.
  • Not versatile.

Best Racing Shoe for High Arches: Nike Vaporfly 3

Nike Vaporfly 3

I probably don’t need to talk about how good of a shoe the Vaporfly is, as it's one of the most famous running shoes of all time. I’ve tried a ton of elite racing shoes, and Nike Vaporfly 3 works for my arches.

A few quick highlights: It weighs practically nothing (6.5 ounces), it's super peppy yet comfortable over long distances, and the upper is extremely light and breathable. The midsole is narrow, but that slimmed down portion hugs the arch, so when properly laced, the shoe supports and comforts the foot.

Nike has released other models since the Vaporfly 3, like the Alphafly, which some people prefer. But if you need a pair of racing shoes and you have a high arch, then the Vaporfly 3, one of the sport’s most popular racing shoes, is a great pick. However, the lacing can be a bit flimsy, and like all super shoes, they wear down pretty fast. So use them wisely, because, according to studies, they do indeed improve your running performance.

Weight: 6.5 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 8mm

Pros:

  • Light, bouncy, and comfortable.
  • Breathable upper.
  • Proven to improve running performance.

Cons:

  • Bad lacing system.
  • Wears down quickly.

Best Recovery Running Shoe for High Arches: Brooks Glycerin 21

Courtesy Image

Another popular high cushion shoe is Brooks Glycerin 21. It's my favorite Brooks shoe, and I’m still logging tons of early week recovery runs in these. While they have a similarly soft midsole feel to the Skechers GoRUN Max Road, these lightweight trainers are a lot more versatile.

At 9.8 ounces (or 9.3 in the StealthFit version) the Glycerin 21 is light enough for speedwork, and though the foam is really soft underfoot, it has more pep than expected. The heel counter is really supportive, and the laces are comfortable. This shoe is somewhat distinct from others on this list in that it doesn’t have a notably stacked arch. But as I broke these shoes in, the insole molded to my foot shape. The supple foam cushions and supports the feet during impact, so despite the lower arch stack, the shoes never feel like they are taxing your plantar fascia.

Weight: 9.8 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 10mm

Pros:

  • Lightweight enough to be versatile trainers.
  • Soft and comfortable cushioning, while maintaining plenty of pop.
  • Upper and lacing setup works well for many foot shapes.
  • Durable outsoles.

Cons:

  • Not the most breathable upper on the list.
  • No stacked arch.

Best Everyday Running Shoe for High Arches: Asics Gel-Kayano 30

Courtesy Image

As one of the best Asics shoes this year, Gel-Kayano 30 has picked up a lot of miles in recent weeks. I've previously experienced both lower leg injuries and arch pain, so the Kayano's supportive, plush cushioning and high heel-toe drop has placed stabilizes and supports my feet. While I’m not breaking any speed records in these, I really appreciate the easy miles in shoes that feel comfortable and stable, but not overly squishy or plodding. Additionally, the stability features, which are totally unobtrusive, cradle the arch. For pretty much every run—save for fast workouts or races—the Gel-Kayano makes a superbly supportive shoe for runners with high arches and plantar fasciitis.

Weight: 10.7 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 10mm

Pros:

  • Soft, stable, and supportive.
  • Durable outsole.
  • Snug, sock-like upper and comfortable laces.

Cons:

  • Too heavy and plush for faster runs.

Best All-Around Running Shoe for High Arches: Hoka Clifton 9

Courtesy of REI

The latest iteration of the popular Hoka Clifton is a comfortable, tried-and-true high arch shoe. While I don’t think the Clifton 9 feels like it was made exclusively for folks with high arches, there are plenty of runners who benefit from the midsole structure.

Elite runners and casual walkers alike sing the praises of the Clifton. I’ve run in three different versions of this shoe, it just works so well. The shoe is lightweight (under 9 ounces). It's got an approachable 5 mm heel-toe-drop, ideal for those who don't land so hard on their heels, but not low enough to scare off runners who aren't used to it. And the Clifton has a really lockdown fit for a stable ride. Finally, there is supportive foam that reaches under the arch—right where you need it.

Weight: 8.7 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 5mm

Pros:

  • Lightweight and versatile.
  • Cushioning works great for high arch runners.
  • Great value at under $150.

Cons:

  • Low drop isn't for everyone.
  • Not as soft as Hoka’s max stack offerings.

Best Shoe for Running and Casual Wear: Adidas Ultraboost Light

Courtesy Image

Adidas Ultraboost Light is my daily shoe. I walk my dogs in them, travel with them, and often just wear them around the house. The Ultraboost Light midsole is super comfortable and stable, and the sock-like upper, while not the most breathable, is stretchy and fits perfectly.

If you go with a simple colorway, you don't need to travel with multiple shoes. These look like a modern sneaker, but perform like some of the best running shoes out there. The forefoot and heel cushioning is plentiful, and the heel contour cradles the foot perfectly.

While the $190 base price is a bit steep, old colorways often go on sale. And for how versatile these are as everyday shoes and running shoes, the price is actually well worth it.

Weight: 10.5 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 10mm

Pros:

  • Look like a modern sneaker.
  • Boost foam is supple and this version is lighter.
  • Soft, stretchy upper is very comfortable.

Cons:

  • A tad expensive for the performance.
  • Not super fast or responsive.

Best Everyday Trail Shoe for High Arches: Hoka Mafate Speed 4

Courtesy Image

For trail runners looking for something a bit softer, Hoka Mafate Speed 4 is arguably one of the most versatile trail shoes ever made. While Hoka has long been recognized for the comfort of their foam, their recent push for more responsive offerings in the PROFLY lineup are great. The Mafate Speed 4 features a dual density midsole that is both firm and soft, maintaining a ton of comfort for high arches. And the versatility of the Mafate means that these remain the right choice for long, patient trail miles as well as hard uphill efforts and speedy descents. Unfortunately, I did notice some heel slippage if I didn't lace tight enough.

Weight: 10.4 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 4mm

Pros:

  • Soft and supportive dual-density PROFLY midsole.
  • Excellent traction.
  • Very versatile for all kinds of trail running.

Cons:

  • Had to lace tightly to avoid heel slippage.

Best Nimble Trail Running Shoe for High Arches: La Sportiva Jackal II (BOA)

Courtesy Image

While La Sportiva puts out a ton of really technical and capable trail runners, the Jackal II with BOA lacing is the brand's best. If you have high arches but don’t like the feel of maximalist shoes, then the Jackal II is right up your alley. They're really comfortable but also light and nimble, with responsive foam and tons of grip. And the arch support hits right where you need it.

Part of what makes these feel so comfortable for high arch runners is the secure, locked-in BOA fit. You just click the knobs on the side of the shoe until the shoe fits your foot shape perfectly. As a result, they make a great trail racer or fast shoe for trail runners who don’t want a big clunky midsole.

Weight: 10.5 ounces

Heel-Toe Drop: 7mm

Pros:

  • Excellent blend between speedy performance and bouncy cushioning.
  • BOA system makes these so easy to secure to your foot.
  • Grippy, outsole rubber.
  • Breathable upper.

Cons:

  • Stiffer than some high arch runners may prefer.

Do High Arches Cause Plantar Fasciitis?

According to Sykes, high arches stiffen the feet while running, which in turn sends more impact force to the forefoot and rearfoot. The plantar fascia supports your arch, and so high arch runners often feel additional strain on this tissue because it has to stretch more. For that reason, a high arch runner often finds comfort in high cushioned shoes.

Be careful, however. “A max stack shoe can sometimes act as a bandaid for arch pain rather than fixing the problem,” Sykes says. Similarly, if you were recommended orthopedic insoles by a doctor, Sykes says that while they alleviate short-term pain, they won’t address the root of your arch pain. Because, he says, there's no one-size-fits-all in running footwear. Find a pair that works for you—but ease into using any new shoes.

Sykes recommends starting with one run per week in the new shoes, then bumping up to two, and so on for a few weeks to help your body adapt to the new gear. I've made this mistake a few times, and it has cost me weeks of training due to injury. So try a few things to see what works and stick with your successful formula.

Why You Should Trust Me

Aside from my personal experience with plantar fasciitis and arch pain, we got insight from folks who really know what they’re talking about. That’s why I chatted with Sykes, an accomplished runner and D.P.T.

Additionally, I logged hundreds of miles in over 60 different pairs of running shoes over the past year. And like many runners, I’m not immune to injury, so I make sure to note shoes that work well and cause no issues.

On top of my individual testing, I worked with a team of testers over a variety of reviews and gleaned insight from all types of runners, from heavier men looking for maximum support to sub-4:00 minute milers.

13. Puerto Rico Declares Epidemic of Potentially Fatal Mosquito-Borne VirusСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

On Monday, Puerto Rico’s Department of Health issued a press release announcing an epidemic of dengue fever. Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne illness which can, in some cases, result in death. Puerto Rico last declared an epidemic of dengue in 2012.

Though cases of dengue fever are relatively common in Puerto Rico, with 1,293 cases reported in 2023, the department’s secretary, Carlos Mellado Lopez, reported that in 2024 “dengue cases have exceeded historical figures." So far this year, 549 cases have been reported in Puerto Rico. More than 340 of those cases have resulted in hospitalization.

Many cases of dengue result in debilitating headaches, fever, vomiting, rashes, and body pains, especially behind one’s eyes. In rare cases, dengue fever can cause “plasma leakage” and death.

"It is essential to recognize the symptoms early,” Lopez warned. “In the presence of any of these symptoms, it is recommended to look for medical attention immediately.”

According to the World Health Organization (via PBS), a total of five million dengue cases were reported last year. 2,000 of those cases were fatal. Nearly 80 percent of all cases were localized to the Western Hemisphere.

Three million cases of dengue have already been reported in the same region throughout 2024. Puerto Rican health officials explained that the uptick in cases is due to higher rainfall as well as increased heat and humidity as a result of climate change.

“Studies show that warmer temperatures associated with climate change can accelerate mosquito development, biting rates, and the incubation of the disease within a mosquito,” explained the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

“It is crucial that citizens take immediate and proactive measures to control the spread of the virus and protect themselves and their families,” Lopez advised.

In Puerto Rico, there is a dengue vaccine available for adults 17 and older. Children aged nine to 16 who have previously had the illness and are "living in areas where dengue is endemic" are also eligible to receive the shot.

14. Subaru Is Latest Car Company to Issue Safety Recall for Long-Running Industry IssueСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Fox Business reports that Subaru is recalling more than 118,000 models due to an airbag deployment issue.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that a recall is in effect for 118,723 Subaru Outback and Legacy models manufactured between 2020 and 2022. These models were constructed with a capacitor within the sensors of the Occupant Detection System (ODS) which may crack and short circuit. This can "prevent the front passenger airbag from deploying in a crash."

Outback and Legacy vehicles that were manufactured between 2020 and 2022 are being recalled because a capacitor in the sensors for the Occupant Detection System (ODS) may crack and short circuit. This might "prevent the front passenger airbag from deploying in a crash," according to the NHTSA.

“This recall only relates to the passenger-side front airbag inflator in certain Subaru vehicles, and does not affect our driver-side front airbags, which were not equipped with a Takata [airbag] inflator,” Subaru explained in a statement. “Therefore, if your vehicle requires a recall service, we recommend that occupants not use the front-passenger seat until the repair is performed.”

Subaru dealers will repair sensors on the front passenger seat free of charge. Owners whose models need repairing will be notified of the safety risk via a letter mailed on May 21. A follow-up letter will be mailed once the fix is available.

As Subaru alluded to in its statement, the recall is just the latest development in the Takata airbag recall that began almost a decade ago, in November 2014. Then, the NHTSA ordered a nationwide recall after hundreds of thousands of vehicles of varying brands were found to be equipped with faulty airbags manufactured by Takata.

"The airbags have been known to explode and send shrapnel into the face and body of both the driver and front seat passenger," CNN reported in May 2015. "Victims appeared to have been shot or stabbed, according to police who responded to the accidents. While there is at least one case of an airbag exploding when a car was simply stopped at an intersection, in most cases, it exploded after an accident."

Takata maintained that the issue only affected vehicles in particularly hot or humid locations, but as of May 2015, Takata became responsible for the largest recall automobile recall in history. At that point, they had recalled 40 million vehicles across 12 brands. To date, according to the NHTSA, 67 million vehicles using the Takata airbag have been recalled.

The faulty parts are still leading to issues almost 10 years later. In January, weeks before Subaru announced their most recent recall, Toyota and General Motors issued a recall of 60,000 vehicles manufactured with the Takata airbag. These included older models of Corolla, Matrix, RAV4, and Pontiac Vibe vehicles sold in the United States.

“Safety has been, and always will be, the driving force within every Subaru,” the company vowed. “This recall affects millions of vehicles worldwide from various manufacturers, including Subaru,” the statement explained. “This means that the availability of replacement airbag inflators, and service space at our stores, may be affected.”

Those with any questions or concerns are urged to contact Subaru at 888-575-1382.

15. Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce Get Heated About Who Can Drink MoreСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

If there are two things it's safe to say the world knows about Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce it's that they're good at football and they both like to knock a few back—as evidenced by their respective Super Bowl celebrations. But when it comes to who can actually drink more, the brothers are decidedly at odds.

While chatting with newly-signed Eagles running back Saquon Barkley on the latest episode of their New Heights podcast on Wednesday, the Kelces were asked which of them would win in a drinking contest.

"I'm pretty sure I've beaten Jason the last three to five times," Travis boldly stated, a claim that Jason quickly retorted was "completely made up."

When asked what type of competition he was referring to, Barkley clarified: "Chugging and then like toe-to-toe, who's calling it quits?"

"I can definitely drink more volume, I don't think that's even a question," Jason said, drawing immediately protests from Travis who claimed that they're now in the same weight class since it's the off-season. Though, Jason conceded that his brother has been drinking more recently, especially as he's been seen jet-setting around the world with his girlfriend Taylor Swift.

"He hasn't stayed out past 10 p.m. since 2017," Travis fired back at Jason, who then asked: "Did you not see me at your playoff games this year?"

"Do you remember any of that?" Travis followed up, to which Jason seemingly proved his point. "No because I was drinking all day," he quipped.

"We're going to have to get to the bottom of this," Jason continued. "I think drinking games, I will destroy him because I've got the mental advantage. I'm the older brother. Beer pong, I'm not beating you in, for sure now."

Since it seemed clear that a consensus was not going to be reached, Barkley then asked the brothers who could shotgun a beer quicker, but even that ended up getting convolved.

"Well the last time we shotgunned one Travis cheated," Jason claimed. However, upon further discussion, neither could even remember the exact instance. In either case, it seems as the challenge, as it would appear, is officially on.

"Yeah, well, it's on like Donkey Kong motherf--ker," Travis added. "We're going to enter ourselves into this drinking contest maybe at the shore or something."

Fans will certainly be waiting on bated breath.

16. Jake Gyllenhaal Recalls Christopher Nolan Personally Rejecting Him for 'Batman' RoleСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Christopher Nolan taking over the Batman film series in the 2000s marked a major shift for the comic book superhero. Christian Bale starred in the iconic role in 2005's Batman Begins and in the acclaimed sequels The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises. But before the first movie, Jake Gyllenhaal was in the running to don Batman's black suit.

For some people, such as Dark Knight trilogy writer David S. Goyer, Gyllenhaal was the only choice to play Batman. After he lost out on the role, Nolan himself called Gyllenhaal to thank him for auditioning. It mirrored a similar experience he had a few years earlier with Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge!, where both he and future Brokeback Mountain co-star Heath Ledger were considered for a part that ultimately went to Ewan McGregor.

"To [Nolan’s] credit and to Baz [Luhrmann’s] credit, both of those directors called me personally to tell me [I didn’t get the role]," Gyllenhaal recounted in a recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show. "And they will tell you why. When you get that far, there’s a real legitimacy to you potentially getting something. It’s not like they’re going, 'Oh, thanks so much.' They are going, ‘I saw these aspects of you that I really wanted in the role and are wonderful, but in the end I ended up moving this way because it matches better with this person who is opposite you or would be opposite you.'"

"The color of their hair or their height, whatever it is!" he continued. "There are all these non-factors that really are the inexplicable stuff that if you start to pick away at it doesn’t work. It’s not healthy."

The call from Nolan, who became a first-time Oscar winner with last year's Oppenheimer, fueled Gyllenhaal's fire to persevere in his work, rather than disappoint him for getting so close only for him to not be chosen.

"To me, I just go, 'Look at how far you got! So just try and keeping going.' That’s what I felt," he said honestly. "I remember getting a call from Christopher Nolan and thinking, 'I just got a call personally from Christopher Nolan. That’s pretty cool. I’ve gotten pretty far. I went from them going they aren’t sure [about me] to a call saying they’re really thinking about you for this movie. So okay, I should keep going. I should just keep going.'"

There's always the possibility that Gyllenhaal and Nolan can work together again one day. If anything, it would be a full-circle moment for the two talents decades later.

In the MGM+ documentary In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon (via People), the musician got candid while reflecting on his whirlwind marriage to Carrie Fisher.

Simon and Fisher met in 1976, whilst the latter was filming her breakout role as Princess Leia in Star Wars. They married in 1983 before quickly divorcing the following year. However, the two would continue to date on and off throughout the ‘80s.

Simon explained that while he and Fisher made a good couple, their different upbringings made it difficult to navigate the sudden fame both were experiencing. “Carrie was much more show business oriented," Simon said.

Fisher was the daughter of Singin’ in the Rain star Debbie Reynolds and musician Eddie Fisher, two of the most famous mid-century performers.

"I went along with that—that’s the world that she grew up with; she was used to it,” Simon continued. “She was used to a lot of press and things like that. It wasn’t intimidating or anything. She knew how to manipulate it and make it work for her. She was really good at it, and I wasn’t.”

Simon is seen in the documentary speaking about his divorce from Fisher just a year after it happened. “I mean, what was I thinking?” he asked rhetorically. “Certainly not thinking about life, you know, that you actually, like, have to stop. Marriage is very…it’s a hard thing to do. You have to concentrate on—not everything can happen at once, not everything is a media event.”

Simon credited the end of their union to “all types of mistakes on top of mistakes on top of mistakes…I realized I could become exhausted by—I could exhaust myself from emotional upheaval.”

Saturday Night Live mastermind Lorne Michaels, a longtime friend of Simon’s, served as the musician's best man at the wedding. “There were lots of things that were remarkable about the time, but also it was two people at career peaks, and that’s always complicated,” Michaels explained. “All of it was kind of a whirlwind.”

Fisher was Simon’s second wife after the singer’s marriage to Peggy Harper from 1969 until 1975. Simon later married fellow musician Edie Brickell in 1992. The couple, who are still married, share three children.

In Restless Dreams: The Music of Paul Simon is currently streaming on MGM+.

18. Eva Mendes Reveals Why She Stopped Acting Because of Ryan GoslingСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Longtime partners Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling famously met while filming the crime drama The Place Beyond the Pines in 2011 and began dating soon after. The couple then worked together on Gosling's 2014 directorial debut Lost River, but following that, the 50-year-old actress has largely stepped away from the spotlight after giving birth to their two children.

And in a rare sit-down on the Today show this week, the Hitch actress elaborated on the "no brainer" reason it made sense for her to stay home while Gosling continued acting.

"I’ve never experienced anything like that," Mendes said of her partner's work ethic. "The way he works, his commitment to his craft, how he wants to make everything as best as it can be, and that means making his costars as best as they can be. But unfortunately, or fortunately, there's only one Ryan, so you know, I pretty much stopped acting after that."

"It was like a no-brainer," she continued. "I'm so lucky, and I was like, if I can have this time with my children—and I still work, I just didn't act—because acting takes you on locations, it takes you away, it was just like a non-verbal agreement... OK, he's gonna work and I'm gonna work. I'm just gonna work here."

Mendes has always been forthcoming about her decision to take a hiatus from acting to raise her daughters with Gosling, now 7 and 9 (who inadvertently helped inspire his performance as Ken in last summer's Barbie). "I wanted to be home with my babies and fortunately my other business ventures allowed me to do that more than acting would," she wrote in an October 2022 Instagram post.

"Also, I was not excited about the stereotypical roles being offered to me at the time," she continued, adding that Lost River was a "dream project" and a "tough act to follow."

The Miami native also opened up about her reaction to Gosling's performance of "I'm Just Ken" at the Oscars earlier this month, joking that it was time to come home to put the kids to bed following the A-list ceremony.

"He went and he did his job, and he just happens to be really good at his job. And he did it and he came home," Mendes quipped. "Because that's what it's about. You go, you do your job the best you can, and then you come home."

Eva Mendes opened up to TODAY about her now-partner Ryan Gosling:

19. Ninja, Top Twitch Streamer, Announces Cancer Diagnosis at 32Ср, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Ninja, Twitch’s top streamer, announced on Tuesday that he was diagnosed with skin cancer. The 32-year-old Illinois native, who was born Tyler Blevins and rose to fame through his Fortnite prowess, explained that the discovery was made after his wife, Jessica, scheduled him for a routine dermatology check-up.

“A few weeks ago I went to a dermatologist for an annual skin/mole check that Jess proactively scheduled for me,” the streamer began his statement. He went on to explain that a mole on the bottom of his foot tested positive for melanoma, though everyone remains “optimistic that we caught it in the early stages.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, melanoma is a type of skin cancer which begins in the melanocytes, the cells which make pigment. It most often presents itself as moles on the outer body, though can also sprout within one’s body or in the eyes. It’s typically caused by exposure to ultraviolet rays, such as tanning beds. Melanoma is increasingly being found in those under 40 years of age.

Doctors also found that Ninja had a separate “dark spot” near the mole, which was removed on Tuesday shortly before he announced his diagnosis. “They biopsied that and removed a larger area around the melanoma,” he explained, “with the hopes that under the microscope they will see clear non-melanoma edges and we will know we got it.”

Though he admitted to being “still in a bit of shock,” Ninja said he was “grateful to have hope in finding this early.” He also urged his millions of followers to “please take this as a PSA to get skin checkups.”

Ninja boasts an astounding 19 million followers on Twitch, the most of any streamer on the platform. He began his Twitch career in 2011, quickly gaining momentum with spirited Fortnite play-throughs. Ninja has become so synonymous with the game that Fortnite even designed a character to resemble him. He also appeared as a contestant on the second season of The Masked Singer.

Alright I’m still in a bit of shock but want to keep you all updated. A few weeks ago I went in to a dermatologist for an annual skin/mole check that Jess proactively scheduled for me. There was a mole on the bottom of my foot that they wanted to remove just to be careful. It…

20. Amusement Parks Are the Latest to Experiment With Uber-Style Surge PricingСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Amusement parks are the latest businesses to adopt Uber-style surge pricing, after fast food chain Wendy’s announced—and then quickly walked back—its plan to experiment with peak-time pricing, Financial Times reported.

Fun-fair conglomerate Merlin Entertainment—which owns Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, as well as the Legoland, Peppa Pig, and Sea Life theme parks—announced on Wednesday that it plans to adopt so-called “dynamic pricing” at its top 20 global attractions by the end of this year. It will roll out in American parks by the end of 2025.

Scott O’Neil, Merlin’s CEO, called the dynamic pricing model “very intuitive.” Under the new pricing, it will cost more to attend one of the theme parks on a peak summer weekend than it would on a rainy, off-season day.

The move is a bid on behalf of Merlin Entertainment to juice income amidst waning guest numbers, which have yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. In 2023, they reported 62.1 million annual guests across all of their 141 global locations, significantly down from the 67 million reported in 2019. The firm also incurred a pre-tax loss of nearly $270 million, which it attributed to Legoland locations in New York and South Korea built during the pandemic.

Wendy’s was met with swift backlash when it announced its own dynamic pricing model last month. Though the model has long been employed by Uber and other ride-share companies, it’s only recently begun to creep into other types of business models.

It’s unclear how Merlin Entertainment plans to structure its new pricing plan. A spokesperson for the company did not immediately reply to a request for comment from Men’s Journal.

21. Rebel Wilson Details Allegations Against Sasha Baron Cohen in New BookСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

The allegations made by Rebel Wilson about her The Brothers Grimsby co-star Sasha Baron Cohen have taken another turn ahead of the release of the 44-year-old's forthcoming memoir, Rebel Rising. In excerpts of Wilson's book obtained by People, Wilson further details alleged on-set treatment by Baron Cohen, and he's already called the claims "demonstrably false."

In the excerpt, Wislon recalls meeting the Borat star at a dinner party in 2013 and says that he later called her and asked her to play his girlfriend in the R-rated 2016 comedy, which he also co-wrote and produced. However, once they began filming, Wilson recalled Baron Cohen's insistence that she strip down, which she first spoke publicly about a decade ago.

"It felt like every time I’d speak to SBC, he’d mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene," Wilson writes in the book. "I was like, ‘Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha.'"

However, a new detail from the book emerged this week, in which Wilson claims that Baron Cohen exposed his bare butt to her and asked her to stick her finger in his rectum while filming a scene at a soccer stadium in Cape Town.

"SBC summons me via a production assistant saying that I’m needed to film an additional scene," she describes in the book. "'Okay, well, we’re gonna film this extra scene,’ SBC says. Then he pulls his pants down ... SBC says very matter-of-factly: ‘Okay, now I want you to stick your finger up my ass.’ And I’m like, ‘What?? ... No!!’ ..."

“I was now scared. I wanted to get out of there, so I finally compromised: I slapped him on the ass and improvised a few lines as the character," she continues.

Wilson writes that after the incident, she called her agent and spoke to a lawyer but was "encouraged to ‘be professional and finish the film" and that she subsequently dealt with her uncomfortableness by laughing it off. But her apparent humiliation wasn't over with, as she was later asked to reshoot a sex scene.

"I filmed the scene, after demanding rewrites. But I still had to simulate having sex with this guy. I still had to kiss him repeatedly," she recalls, adding that the incident didn't really hit her until a few months later. "It really sank in that all this wasn’t something that could be laughed off. I relayed to the producers that I would not be doing any promotion for the film."

What makes the situation even more puzzling is that both Wilson and Baron Cohen have apparent witnesses to back up their version of events.

Reps for Baron Cohen—who previously pushed back at the reveal that the 52-year-old was the "asshole" Wilson refers to in the book—provided anonymous statements from nine people allegedly involved in the film, and five who say they witnessed the Cape Town scene in particular. All claim that the butt scene was part of the script.

"As per the script, which Rebel had read and approved in advance, her character was attempting to put a finger in Sacha’s character’s butt. At no point did Sacha actually ask her to put a finger in his butt,” one producer told People. “Throughout this entire period, she was treated with the utmost respect and empowerment and was welcomed as a collaborator in all creative areas."

Another writer-producer agreed: "This was a scheduled, scripted scene."

Yet, Wilson’s sister Liberty and another friend corroborated her story and said she told them about the Cape Town scene shortly after it happened, and that it was the same then as it is now.

In the end, Wilson says that the movie bombed, which was "karma enough." She says she's sharing her story so more women speak up about mistreatment. "I’m not about canceling anybody and that’s not my motivation for sharing this story," she writes. "I’m sharing my story now because the more women talk about things like this, hopefully the less it happens."

Rebel Rising hits shelves on April 2.

22. Timberland's 'Extremely Thin' Bifold Wallet With 20,000+ 5-Star Ratings Starts at Just $15 Right NowСр, 27 мар[-/+]

Digital wallets have streamlined everyday carry items for many, eliminating the must-haves to just one or two cards. But it’s hard to beat the peace of mind that comes with a trusty bifold wallet, which carries the emergency cash you need when your favorite coffee shop’s register goes down. For those moving on from their old tattered billfold or anybody looking to get into a new one, you can't go wrong with a hardy classic from a trusted brand like Timberland, especially when it's on sale.

This Timberland Leather Wallet usually sells for an already affordable $20, but it’s marked down right now in several of its 15 colors, such as navy and tan, for as low as $15. It’s one of the most popular wallets on Amazon, with over 20,00 five-star ratings and several thousand sold in the last month. That means you can pick up one for yourself and another one as a gift for the dad, son, or nephew in your life while leaving plenty of cash to keep inside it.

This wallet packs a surprising amount of storage into a relatively slim package. It has four card slots on the right and one on the left. The left side features a flap that flips up to reveal two clear plastic windows, where you can store a driver’s license, work ID, or personal photos. There are also two center slip pockets and a roomy main cash sleeve. The wallet is made from genuine leather, and the contrast stitching along the outer adds a rugged look. The wallet features Timberland’s tree logo on the outside and the brand’s name stamped on the inside.

Shoppers were impressed with the storage capacity, with one writing that it “holds a lot without being bulky,” adding that they “love the quality of the craftsmanship and how thin the wallet is.” Another wrote, “Currently, I have eight bills in it, and [even] closed, the wallet still is extremely thin. There isn't any discomfort carrying it in my back pocket.”

Some shoppers appreciated the craftsmanship, comparing it favorably to more expensive brands. One wrote, “It’s actually better made than my previous Coach wallet that was twice the price.”

Others attested to how well it holds up over time, even after water exposure. “It has accidentally been through the washing machine a few times and is holding up great," a shopper admitted. "No signs of the stitches coming undone and so far the leather is holding together nicely.”

A quality leather wallet doesn’t have to break the bank, and that's evident in this bifold option from Timberland. For as low as $15, you can get a stylish everyday accessory that's complemented by its ample storage. We're not sure when the price will come back up, so whether you’re looking to replace a beat-up wallet or you’re shopping for a thoughtful gift, consider this one a win.

23. Police Catch Suspected Thief Hanging on Telephone WireСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Thieves will often go to great lengths to avoid being caught, even if it might put them in physical danger. Police in Vancouver, Washington learned that firsthand in a recent arrest.

On March 23, police in the city responded to a call about a suspected thief breaking into a vehicle and stealing several items, then allegedly stealing a bike from a nearby yard. According to Fox News, a neighbor spotted a man identified later as Romando E. Stanley stealing the bike and went after the suspect, causing him to drop the bike and run away.

What came next was an hourslong chase around town. While police responded to the initial reports, the authorities received another report that a man matching Stanley's description came into their business, snatched an employee's cell phone, and punched them in the chest before taking off once again.

Officers were then dispatched to a third location after receiving reports that the man was on a roof and throwing bricks down below, damaging several nearby buildings. At first, crisis negotiators tried to get Stanley to get down from the roof, but he had other plans. He tried to cross the street by standing and holding on to telephone wires. He remained hanging above the street for nearly an hour.

Eventually, Stanley reportedly couldn't hold on any longer and fell from the wires. A Vancouver Fire Department truck was parked underneath to break his fall, and he was quickly taken to the hospital for evaluation. After that, he was booked into local jail on robbery, theft, and malicious mischief charges.

Needless to say it could have ended a lot worse for Stanley if they were live power lines instead.

24. Shoppers Are Swarming Amazon to Get a Now-$16 Grill Cover That's 'So Much Better' Than Ones at Hardware StoresСр, 27 мар[-/+]

For those who live in colder states, the arrival of spring means unveiling the backyard grill from its long winter nap. And despite today's best grills being built to last in various weather conditions, keeping them covered is a wise investment to help prolong their lifespan. The problem is that many covers directly from grill brands can be expensive, around $50 or more in many cases. But recently, Men's Journal learned about a now-$16 grill cover on Amazon that shoppers "could not believe" works as well as it does for how little they paid.

Viboos Grill Covers are waterproof, dustproof, windproof, and UV-protective, and are said to work diligently through all seasons in any condition. The brand offers covers that fit Weber, Broil King, Char-Broil, and other grills that range in size from 32 to 72 inches, with two additional options for the oblong-shaped Weber Q-series. The 58-inch grill cover is now just $16 for Prime Members and is the most popular size, with over 10,000 sold in the last month. That, combined with the 21,000-plus five-star ratings, has pushed it into the No. 1 rank of bestselling grill covers on Amazon.

This grill cover is made from a triple-layer fabric that includes a waterproof PVC backing, a flexible Oxford cloth center, and a top-layer treatment that boosts its weather and UV resistance. It features Velcro straps that serve as a "belt" to cinch the "waist" of the grill and adjustable drawstrings that do the same at the bottom, preventing it from flying off in the wind. The 58-inch size fits the widest range of grills, including the Weber Spirit series, Char-Broil Performance series, five different types from Broil King, and most other four-burner models. To ensure you find the best fit for your grill, consult Viboos' size chart.

Shoppers who have made their way to Viboos grill covers have been happy with the fit, the quality, and the waterproofing, but many say they're stunned by the value, having paid less than $20 for such a good product. "I can't believe how good this is," as one shopper put it. "I fully expected it to be cheap and flimsy, but it's thick, sturdy, and way less [expensive] than similar products! It has a silver lining to completely protect it from the elements and prevent fading, has clips at the bottom to attach it to the bottom of the grill so it doesn't blow away, and Velcro straps on either side to secure it under the side compartments to make sure no water can get in."

Others have compared it to previous grill covers purchased at the big hardware stores, saying there's no comparing the two. "This cover is so much better than the one I bought at my local big box hardware store," a shopper admitted. "It’s thick and sturdy and made out of better materials. The other one cracked and ripped after a few days in sunlight and this one still looks new."

Whether you're working on a compact two-burner grill or a six-burner that'll feed the whole neighborhood, it's worth protecting your investment with the Amazon shopper-favorite Viboos Waterproof Grill Cover. Available in black and gray in over 10 sizes, it's safe to say the brand has you covered this grilling season.

25. Video: Matt Barnes Battles With Possum Home InvaderСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Matt Barnes has had quite the illustrious career in professional sports. He played in the NBA for over a decade and became an NBA champion before retiring in 2017. And though he has skills on the basketball court, when he's at home, he deals with very different challenges.

On March 25, Barnes went live on Instagram as he dealt with an unexpected home invader in his kitchen: a possum. Barnes chronicled the ordeal in a nearly 10-minute-long livestream. By the time he began recording, he was already well into the process of trapping the animal and trying to get it out of his house, which included barricading it into the kitchen by building walls of cardboard boxes.

Barnes is in the process of moving from that house to a new place, so the boxes being on-hand was a blessing in disguise. He explained that because he and his family are between homes, the back door of this house was open, allowing the possum to waltz right in.

"All you can do is peacefully run out, bro, so what are we going to do here?" he asked the animal as it sat on the tile floor. He began throwing apples at the animal to try to get it to move, but it wouldn't budge.

When fruit didn't do the trick, Barnes went to another part of the house to retrieve a golf club. "I'm about to put a pitching wedge up his a--," he said to the camera before approaching the animal with his metal weapon. He got up on the kitchen counter and got closer to the possum from above and eventually started spraying water on it.

Once the animal was soaked, it began to saunter off—right through Barnes' box barricade. It didn't get too far and remained in the kitchen area before it finally had enough and scurried out the door.

"This s--t gave me the chills," Barnes told viewers on the patio after the fiasco. "I'll fight anybody but I don't f--k with animals. That's for godd--n sure." He caught sight of the possum in the corner of the yard and told it to go to another house.

Matt Barnes was on IG Live to show everybody that a possum just entered his house and it’s 9 minutes of hilarity pic.twitter.com/VuhQJyTIS3

Possums can carry a variety of diseases, so if you find one in your home, it's probably best to call an animal control expert and let a professional handle it.

26. 'Pirates Of The Caribbean' Producer Reveals Plans for Next FilmСр, 27 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Before Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales came out in 2017, the fifth and, to date, final film in the franchise, Disney had reportedly been planning to shoot the fifth and sixth installments back-to-back. However, when the final film never materialized and an announced spinoff starring Margot Robbie ended up dead in the water, fans have been wondering if Jack Sparrow and crew had sailed off into the sunset for the last time.

However, this week producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who helmed the franchise, finally provided an update on the future of Pirates Of The Caribbean. And the 80-year-old Hollywood legend revealed that the plan for the next film will be a full reboot of the film series.

"It's hard to tell. You don't know, you really don't know," Bruckheimer told ComicBook.com in an interview published Monday. "You don't know how they come together. You just don't know. Because with Top Gun you have an actor who is iconic and brilliant. And how many movies he does before he does Top Gun, I can't tell you. But we're gonna reboot Pirates, so that is easier to put together because you don't have to wait for certain actors."

Bruckheimer was of course referring to Tom Cruise, who starred in both the original 1986 Top Gun and its 2022 sequel, Top Gun: Maverick. But considering that the Pirates movies are an ensemble cast, it would in theory be more of a challenge to align a number of production schedules, rather than just start over with fresh new talent.

Not to mention, Disney reportedly cut ties with Johnny Depp amid domestic violence allegations from his ex-wife Amber Heard, which the actor revealed in testimony during his high-profile defamation trial against Heard in 2022. And Keira Knightley also said last year in no uncertain terms that she was likewise done with the films.

So, it sounds very much as though Depp, Knightley, and Orlando Bloom have indeed played Jack Sparrow, Elizabeth Swann, and Will Turner for the last time. That is, if those characters even reappear in the next installment.

In the meantime, it certainly will be interesting to see what plans Bruckheimer and company have for the future of the franchise.

27. Trader Joes Just Hiked Price of This Produce Item for First Time in DecadesВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Trader Joe’s announced on Monday that it would be significantly raising the cost of its bananas, which have remained at the same price tag of 19 cents for over 20 years.

The new price of bananas at TJ’s will be 23 cents each, an increase of more than 20 percent. A Trader Joe’s spokesperson told CNN that the rise in cost was simply to offset the store’s cost of acquiring them.

“We only change our prices when our costs change, and after holding our price for bananas at 19 cents each for more than two decades, we’ve now reached a point where this change is necessary.”

Trader Joe’s is known for its wide selection of moderately priced groceries and snack foods, with “the 19 cent banana” becoming something of an unofficial spokes-item for the chain.

Trader Joe’s CEO Dan Bane said he originally thought to sell individual bananas after an elderly customer told him her reason for not buying full bags of the fruit. “She says to me, ‘Sonny… I may not live to that fourth banana,’” Bane recalled on the Inside Trader Joe’s podcast.

The price of bananas has remained fairly steady since 2021. They currently stand at 63 cents per pound, a single penny less than prices in April 2023.

However, a March 13 report from CBS News warned of an imminent price hike for bananas due to climate change. The article explained that as temperatures rise beyond the optimal conditions for banana growth, yields will be lower and therefore prices will gradually increase.

Climate change can also cause the proliferation of diseases, such as the Tropical Race 4 (TR4) fungus, which threaten the sustainability of banana crops.

While the banana increase stings, a Trader Joe’s spokesperson noted that the chain has been able to lower some prices of late. Raw almonds were recently decreased by one dollar to $3.99 per pound, while romaine hearts and organic tri-color bell peppers were each discounted by 50 cents to prices of $2.99 and $4.49, respectively.

28. Popular Dollar Store Chain Upping Some Prices to Nearly $10Вт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

While inflation has cooled since its dizzying post-pandemic heights, household objects and groceries are still putting a dent in many people's wallets. Some Americans turn to the dollar store as a way to stock up on essentials without breaking the bank. In recent years, the moniker of "dollar store" has become increasingly less relevant as prices have started to range from $1.50 to as much as $5 per item.

One popular dollar store chain is raising its prices to new heights. According to USA Today, Dollar Tree CEO Rick Dreiling divulged some of the forthcoming pricing plans in a March 13 company call.

"This year, across 3,000 stores, we expect to expand our multi-price assortment by over 300 items at price points ranging from $1.50 to $7," Dreiling said.

This move follows other price hikes across the company since the turn of the decade. In 2021, Dollar Tree raised the base price of the lowest items in stores to $1.25, effectively defying its own name. Just last June, the company set a $5 cap on items, though that number is now increasing another $2.

Dreiling explained that the higher-cost items will include food, pet items, and personal care products. "Over time, you will also see us fully integrate multi-price merchandise more into our stores so our shoppers will find $5 bags of dog food next to our traditional $1.25 pet treats and toys, and our $3 bags of candy will be found in the candy aisle," he said.

Executives at Dollar Tree, which also owns Family Dollar, attributed the decision to a change in customer profile, noting that more people who have been coming into their stores can easily afford an increase of a few dollars. "The fastest-growing demographic is north of $125,000 a year in income," they pointed out.

It seems like the days of dollar stores actually selling one-dollar items are long gone.

29. A Popular Marmot Rain Jacket That Keeps Shoppers 'Dry the Whole Time' They Wear It Is 25% Off and Selling FastВт, 26 мар[-/+]

Rain gear has come a long way since the days of heavy rubber coats. Materials like Gore-Tex and Columbia's Omni-Tech make some of the best jackets even more lightweight, breathable, and waterproof. And while some of them can be pricey, deals on these water-shedding rain jackets can be found if you know where to look. Marmot jackets offer an affordable solution to staying dry without weighing you or your wallet down, and one of the brand's most popular styles just went on sale.

Right now, the already modestly-priced Marmot PreCip Eco Jacket is on sale at REI for just $75—a 25% discount on the normal $100 price. The jacket is available in a range of two-tone colorways, as well as an eye-catching shade of orange. It's earned over 250 five-star ratings at REI from shoppers who use it for everything from commuting to hiking. Sizes run from small to 2XL, but some are already starting to sell out.

The PreCip jacket features Marmot’s NanoPro ripstop nylon fabric that is waterproof and breathable. It's built with seam-taped edges to help prevent leaks alongside an adjustable hemline drawcord and Velcro cuffs that can both be fastened for extra warmth. The placket has a zipper and Velcro, allowing you to leave the jacket partially opened if desired. There are also zippers under the pits—a key feature that lets air and moisture escape without compromising water resistance. When not in use, it can be packed into a compact pouch, so you can easily toss it in your daypack or travel bag as a backup layer.

Shoppers love the PreCip jacket's waterproof performance, with one recounting that they wore it “during a torrential rainstorm, and it kept me dry the whole time.” Another wrote, “I wear my gear year-round and know it will take a beating,” adding, “This jacket outlasted others, by far, and always keeps me dry.”

Other shoppers say it holds up well in varied climates. “Took it paddling on Florida's Weeki Wachee spring river in heavy rain,” a shopper said. “I stayed dry for a couple of hours of rain paddling.” Another wrote, “I have lived in the Pacific Northwest and I work on the Olympic Peninsula where it rains a lot. I know rain gear, and this is a solid coat.”

Some even compared this Marmot jacket favorably to other brands. “I tried the Outdoor Research Helium and found it too flimsy," a shopper admitted. "The REI Gore-Tex was too stiff and heavy. [But] the PreCip is the perfect medium and comes with tons of good features.”

With its lightweight construction, handy features, and packable design, Marmot’s PreCip Eco Jacket offers great value at $75, but sizes are starting to sell out. If you've been looking for a waterproof jacket that's tough enough to handle the outdoors but nice enough to wear to work, pick one of these up in your size before they're gone.

30. Realtor Discovers Creepy Hidden Room Within BathroomВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

A realtor kicked up quite a storm on TikTok after posting a creepy video showcasing a “secret room” within one of her properties. The clip, which has accrued nearly 85,000 views, was posted by Lauren Rockel, a Keller Williams agent stationed in Grand Rapids, MI.

“Secret rooms are one of my absolute favorite things to find when I’m showing homes,” Rockel tells viewers as she opens up the door to an old-fashioned-looking bathroom. Turning to face the room's corner, Rockel isolates a set of shelves located behind the bathtub.

“I noticed some hinges on the outside of this built-in cabinet, so naturally I had to give it a little tug,” she explained.

Rockel swings open the shelving unit to reveal a completely hidden room beyond the frame. Noting that it appears to have been designed as a storage space rather than a room for anyone to occupy, Rockel moves around the corner to reveal a frosted glass wall.

“Look at how creepy this is,” Rockel intones as she reveals the glass wall to be the other side of the shower partition. The secret room looks directly out into the bathroom, and anyone in the shower would likewise be able to peep directly into the “hidden” space.

Commenters were roundly unsettled by the reveal. “My reactions: ‘Oh, cool!’ ? ‘Oh, no.’ ?,” wrote one user. “??? absolute same,” Rockel responded.

“I'd always think someone was hiding in there watching me,” another viewer wrote.

But some were rather pacified by the thought of a secret room that few people would be aware of. “I love secret rooms because I have a weird fear of home invasions,” wrote someone named Danielle, “and they’d be perfect to hide in.”

Others weighed in with their preferred renovation ideas for the disused space. “Dude, why wouldn’t they blow that out and make the bathroom bigger?” Erika Bobier asked.

But Rockel has a different plan for the space: “I’d throw some pillows in there, add some Christmas lights, and stash all the good snacks,” she said.

31. Lee Pace Shows Off Toned Physique on His 45th BirthdayВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Lee Pace celebrated his 45th birthday this week by posting a series of shirtless photos while lounging around a gorgeous swimming pool. That, in itself, seems like a good enough way to spend a birthday, but Pace was kind enough to spread the love to his fans.

"45 and alive," the actor captioned the photos posted to Instagram on March 25, along with a zombie man emoji, presumably winking at the milestone.

Pace first gained widespread notoriety on ABC's quirky comedy drama series Pushing Daisies in 2006, before breaking through to several blockbuster franchises such as Twilight, The Hobbit, and the MCU, portraying the villain Ronan the Accuser in 2014's Guardians of the Galaxy and 2019's Captain Marvel.

Most recently, Pace appears in the Apple TV+ sci-fi series Foundation, in which he stars as the galactic emperor Brother Day. Playing the god-like character required Pace to bulk up, which he elaborated on in a 2021 radio interview coinciding with the series premiere.

"We started shooting before the pandemic and and I was lifting a whole lot of weights, and then the pandemic started, and I basically cleared off a corner of the barn and did a bunch of yoga," he told ABC Radio Digital Syndication at the time. "I did yoga every day for about two hours. And that was my kind of, you know, throughout the entire quarantine, through that time."

"It was such an opportunity to think about my health, to think about, you know, this character that I was playing and really kind of think about ... you know, your balance, thinking about what you're stretching, thinking about a specific part of the body and how you can control it," Pace continued.

Considering that Foundation was renewed for a third season late last year, clearly Pace still has the motivation to keep up with his fitness regime.

32. How Al Pacino Inspired Michael Imperioli to Become an ActorВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Michael Imperioli cemented his status as an iconic Italian American actor with his role as Christopher Moltisanti on The Sopranos. Years before he joined the Emmy-winning series, when he was a fledgling actor, Imperioli got to work with legends like Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci (along with his future Sopranos co-star Lorraine Bracco) in Martin Scorsese's beloved masterpiece Goodfellas.

Getting to work alongside De Niro was a dream come true for Imperioli. In a new interview with The New Yorker, he explained that he was forever changed after seeing movies like Midnight Cowboy, Dog Day Afternoon, and Apocalypse Now when he was a kid.

"Those actors, like [Marlon] Brando and Pacino and Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman and Robert De Niro, those actors really f--king inspired me," he admitted. "Getting to work with some of them, which eventually happened, I was always pinching myself. I did a movie with Jon Voight [The Five People You Meet in Heaven] and De Niro [Goodfellas]."

As for Pacino, Imperioli reflected on interacting with the Oscar winner when he was preparing for his role as Shylock in 2004's The Merchant of Venice. "I never did a movie with Pacino, but I rehearsed with him once in his house—Merchant of Venice, with him and two other actors. That was surreal," he said, going on to heap praise on the veteran actor.

"Probably out of any actor, he was the one that made me want to be an actor," Imperioli confessed. "I felt like I was playing basketball with Michael Jordan. He was, like, 20 steps ahead of me. I’ll never forget it."

Imperioli went on to describe just how inspiring Pacino's acting skills are, even when simply running through lines at his home.

"He just became Shylock in front of my eyes. It was very strange. Everything about him, like, physically, he changed. The color of his skin changed," he remembered. "It was very, like, alchemical. It was magic. It was something great actors do, really."

Here's hoping the two actors can appear alongside each other on screen one day.

33. Jake Gyllenhaal Predicts if Patrick Swayze Could Beat Him in a 'Road House' FightВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Patrick Swayze was a breakout actor in the '80s thanks to his roles in hit movies like Dirty Dancing and The Outsiders. In 1989, Swayze starred in the action flick Road House opposite stars like Sam Elliott. Over three decades later, Road House has been reimagined in a new location with Jake Gyllenhaal at the helm, stepping into the role of Dalton first made famous by Swayze.

Gyllenhaal reflected on carrying on Swayze's legacy in a new interview with Collider. When asked whether his Dalton or Swayze's Dalton would win in a fight, Gyllenhaal was pretty confident in his answer.

"Well, we all know that 'Size doesn't matter' right from that movie, right? That is a line from the movie, the original movie," Gyllenhaal said.

Gyllenhaal's Dalton, unlike Swayze's, is a former UFC fighter, making his on-screen pairing with Conor McGregor that much more natural. As for who would come out on top in a fight, Gyllenhaal seemingly straddled the fence.

"Well, he'd certainly dance the s--t out of it, so I couldn't win there," he said of the Dirty Dancing star. "I think, due to technology and the advancements in technology, I'm going to say that I think that my Dalton would win. But if we were face-to-face in the '80s, I'd give it to Patrick."

"It depends on the decade," he concluded, adding "I would just say no one ever wins a fight." This pacifist standpoint is a stark difference from his character, who, like Swayze's, had a troubled violent past that bleeds into the present.

The new Road House is streaming now on Prime Video. The original is available to stream on Max.

Men’s Journal aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

BowFlex is known for its high-quality home fitness equipment and late-night infomercials. But despite the brand’s popularity among fitness enthusiasts, the company recently announced the need to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to what the CEO calls “persistent macroeconomic headwinds.” While the news is disappointing, the popular fitness equipment is now available on deep discount across Amazon, with deals of as much as 40% off.

When BowFlex started in 1986, the company’s value proposition was that people could skip expensive gym memberships by building a home gym using its space-saving designs. So for those looking to set up a home gym or update an existing gym, consider this sale the push you need to make your gym design dreams come true. Men's Journal even did the hard work for you and scoured Amazon to find the absolute best deals from the brand going on now. And remember, this could be your last chance to buy anything Bowflex before these products are gone for good.

For any fitness lover looking to build their own home gym, a solid bench is a key staple item, and this one from BowFlex checks all the boxes. For those who live in a small apartment or use a shared space as a gym, the 70-pound bench has a one-click design that stows upright for space saving when not in use. It can even handle weights of up to 600 pounds. Reviewers are loving it too, with more than 3,600 five-star ratings.

What Shoppers Are Saying: “Purchased this bench as part of the beginnings of putting together a home gym. We're short on space, so it was important that it had a small footprint. Assembly was relatively straightforward, and if you can put together a small Lego set then this should be a breeze for you.”

No wonder it's earned more than 6,000 five-star ratings, and more than 1,000 of these kettlebells have sold in the past 30 days. The brand (and multiple reviews) point out how this is truly all about saving space since it replaces six individual kettlebells with just one product.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Over the years, I have bought many kettlebell sets. They took up tons of space and it cost an arm and a leg to buy a well rounded set. These BowFlex kettlebells are the solution! I bought two and they take up like a tiny amount of space and give me access to countless kettlebell configurations with just a click. I’ve had these for a few months now with zero issues engaging the correct weight."

What Shoppers Are Saying: "The weight range is phenomenal. I mean, come on. To be able to have the equivalent of 30 dumbbells ranging from 5 to 52.5 lbs and be able to tuck them neatly away in the corner somewhere?? Yeah. That’s a HUGE advantage of these dumbbells."

What Shoppers Are Saying: "These are really nice and really well-made pieces of exercise equipment. The bench is easy to use and easy to adjust, and easily folds into a very small vertical footprint that can be rolled away when not in use. The dumbbells are fantastic! They adjust with a twist of the wrist, are solidly put together, and could not be any more convenient to use."

35. Anne Hathaway Reacts to Being Told She Has ‘No Sex Appeal’Вт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Anne Hathaway got her start in Hollywood as a teen actress, making her big screen debut in Disney's The Princess Diaries before career-turning roles in Brokeback Mountain and The Devil Wears Prada. But despite a successful, two-and-a-half decades in Hollywood, the 41-year-old has been stigmatized for what Buzzfeed once referred to in 2015 as the "Anne Hathaway Syndrome." As in, "when you do everything right and society hates you for it."

In a new Vanity Fair profile, Hathaway opened up about how she's perceived by both Hollywood and audiences, and even admitted that she was told she had "no sex appeal" when she first started in the industry.

"I was like, 'I’m a Scorpio. I know what I’m like on a Saturday night,'" Hathaway quipped to the publication, admitting that, at the time, the cultural definition of "sexy" is far more constrained than it is now. "The male gaze was very dominant and very pervasive and very juvenile," she added.

Though, Hathaway does admit that she's an "intense" person. Next, she appears in the romantic comedy The Idea of You, about a love affair between a 40-year-old, divorced single mother and "the lead singer of the hottest boy band on the planet." Michael Showalter, who directed the film, likewise agreed with that characterization.

"She’s fiery," Showalter said. "She has deeply held feelings about things that can feel intractable. I’m a Gemini. Things change constantly for me. Once we put an astrological sign to it, that opened up the floodgates for us to communicate in a different way. I’m not joking. And I’m not an astrology guy, but even I was like, ‘Oh, my God. Of course. I understand you now. It’s just that you’re a Scorpio.'"

At any rate, with Hollywood's changing perception and landing roles that were once outside her wheelhouse, perhaps Hathaway will finally get her due as a passionate, sexy Scorpio as she heads into the next phase of her career.

36. Wild Video Appears to Show Former NFLer Vince Young Knocked Out in Bar FightВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Video from a Texas bar shows former NFL QB Vince Young apparently being knocked out during a physical altercation.

The incident reportedly occurred around 9 p.m. on February 4 at Joe’s Shot Bar in Houston. In the footage, posted by TMZ, Young can be seen wearing a white hat with a black shirt and shorts. As he and another patron argue with fellow bar-goers, more people approach the group arguing with Young. Eventually, someone throws a punch, and Young jumps at the aggressors as members of his party hold him back.

As the men scuffle, people repeatedly try to hold Young back from the fracas. One man is seen having a drink thrown in his face before taking an elbow shot to the head. A mass of grappling bodies make their way towards the exit as the former QB grabs one of the men around the neck. This leads to a third man sucker-punching Young, who immediately collapses to the floor.

The Houston Police Department told TMZ that, according to the bar’s owner, the confrontation allegedly stemmed from a conversation about race. Once the unidentified owner asked the men to leave, the episode turned violent. He claims to be the person in the video who has a drink thrown in his face before being elbowed.

The bar’s owner didn’t want to press charges against the rowdy crowd, so the identities of the participants have not been publicly released.

Young hasn’t publicly commented on the incident. A former runner-up for the Heisman Trophy, Young played from 2006 until 2011 with the Philadelphia Eagles, winning the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in ‘06.

37. Huckberry Has Dozens of Shirt Jackets on Sale Up to 60% Off—These Are the 4 You Need for SpringВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Men’s Journal aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

Spring weather means shedding heavy jackets—mostly. While it's smart to trade in your insulated puffer for a more seasonal rain jacket, you still need an appropriate layer that's warm enough to keep you comfortable throughout the day. That's exactly what good shirt jackets do. While many brands offer their rendition of the shirt jacket, no retailer has a better-curated collection than Huckberry, which is offering up to 60% off some of the best shirt jackets it has in stock.

The discounted shirt jackets at Huckberry include several bestselling water-resistant styles from brands like Flint and Tinder and Relwen, as well as some under-the-radar pieces from Taylor Stitch and Proof. After Men's Journal looked through Huckberry's shirt jackets, we found these four that would be perfect selections as your go-to, everyday spring top layer.

Flint and Tinder Quilted Waxed Shirt Jacket in Gray with Green Lining, From $172 (was $288) at Huckberry

Waxed jackets are some of the bestselling products at Huckberry, and this one is no exception. Flint and Tinder's Quilted Waxed Shirt Jacket is up to 40% off right now and is one of the hardiest layers to wear into spring with its British Millerain canvas shell and Primaloft insulation. It's the rare type of shirt jacket you can feel confident wearing during unexpected drizzle because the wax will help slick the water off. Intended for layering, sizes run a little big, so consider how you intend to wear it before ordering.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I really love this jacket. I usually wear a medium, but got a small, which fits better for me. It suits the weather here in Kentucky greatly this time of year (winter into spring). It is warm but breathable and I can still layer under it somewhat. Flint & Tinder is quality stuff!"

Wellen's Sherpa-Lined Flannel Overshirt is up to 60% off in green and blue plaid and is one of the best deals on shirt jackets you'll find at Huckberry. For just $62, you get a cozy top layer for spring that's just as suitable for picking up the kids at school as it is for heading to work on casual Friday. Wear it with a pair of Flint and Tinder's American-made jeans and a Chelsea boot for a look that goes as hard as you do.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "This is exactly what I was looking for. The weight is substantial, and the color and texture are perfect. Hand pockets are also a nice touch. I’m 6 foot 2, 170 pounds, and the medium fits perfectly. I expect this to last a really long time."

Flint and Tinder Quilted Bone Button Western Shirt in Dark Wash Indigo, $159 (was $188) at Huckberry

One of the coolest-looking shirt jackets you'll ever find, Flint and Tinder's Quilted Bone Button Western Shirt is an everyday style that will match just about anything. Made with premium denim and lined with flannel, it offers a refined casual look with the coziness of a blanket. It also has hand pockets and chest snap pockets, making it ultra-convenient for sheltering hands and storing everyday carry items. It's available in a light or dark wash—both good choices.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Great fitting western shirt. Usually lined shirts like these feel baggy and oversized but this one strikes the perfect balance between the blanket lining and the sizing. The lining is nice, soft, and warm. The quilted exterior has a great texture. This is a “shacket” that is almost a proper jacket."

Relwen Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket in Char/Brown Plaid, $210 (was $248) at Huckberry

Truly a special jacket, Relwen's Quilted Flannel Shirt Jacket features a vintage-inspired flannel shell with a quilted ripstop interior. Button it up, leave it open, tuck it in, cuff the sleeves—it might look tough, but it's still a soft flannel shirt jacket that'll look good in a variety of settings. Choose from three colors that are starting to sell out, including this earthy brown that'll carry you through spring.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Very versatile. Wears more like a shirt than a jacket but still warm. Used on a 27-degree day for a hike with just a t-shirt underneath and was perfect. I’m 5 foot 10, 172 pounds, and have a medium. The inner pocket is nice for a light pair of gloves and a headlamp. Easy on and off with snap buttons. Hand pockets are stealthy but work well."

38. McDonald’s Announces Major New Food Partnership With Krispy KremeВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

As it slowly rolls out the reintroduction of the breakfast bagel sandwich, McDonald’s has announced the addition of a brand new item to store menus across the country. The Golden Arches will begin selling Krispy Kreme donuts at all of its North American locations by the end of 2026, the chain announced on Tuesday (via The Washington Times).

As part of the deal, Krispy Kreme will deliver three flavors of fresh donuts to McDonald’s locations every day. Customers can choose from Krispy Kreme’s Original Glazed flavor, or its Chocolate Iced with Sprinkles and Chocolate Iced "Kreme" filled options. The donuts will be available a la carte or in boxes of six.

Similarly to the breakfast bagels, McDonald’s will begin a slow rollout of the Krispy Kreme donuts to its stores later this year. They’ll be available to purchase at all American McDonald’s locations by the end of 2026.

"Significantly, by making Kreme Krispy accessible to fans nationwide through this partnership, we expect to more than double our points of access by the end of 2026," Krispy Kreme CEO Josh Charlesworth said in a statement. "The partnership accelerates the development of our existing Delivered Fresh Daily channel, creating operating leverage through distribution density and production utilization."

In recent years, Krispy Kreme has positioned itself as a competitor to Dunkin. According to Krispy Kreme, it readjusted its supply chain, added technology, and created a special support team to assist in the McDonald’s expansion.

The partnership, finalized after a successful trial run in Indiana and Kentucky, represents a huge step forward for Krispy Kreme, who currently distribute donuts to 6,800 third-party retailers. The McDonald’s deal will add at least 13,500 restaurants to that list, with another 900 anticipated by the end of 2027.

After the announcement on Tuesday, Krispy Kreme’s stock jumped 20 percent in early trading, according to Wall Street Journal. Through Monday, shares had been down 21 percent from this time last year.

The last few months have seen a great deal of change for McDonald’s once-ironclad menu. In addition to announcing major changes to its signature Big Mac, the chain recently reintroduced the breakfast wrap and Spicy Chicken McNuggets, as well as the Strawberry & Creme Pie. Last month, McDonald’s launched an anime-inspired meal with a brand new Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce.

The chain also recently opened a much-hyped spin-off, CosMc’s, in Illinois. Earlier this week, McDonald’s cut the ribbon on a Texas location.

39. Soccer Star's Wife Says He Ghosted Their Family After Moving to U.S.Вт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

The wife of Swedish soccer star Emil Forsberg announced that she was divorcing the 32-year-old after he apparently "ghosted" her and the couple's two children when he moved to the United States earlier this year. Forsberg signed to the New York Red Bulls Major League Soccer team in early 2024, making his starting debut in the opening match of the season in February 2024.

"We will part ways. Words I thought I would never utter after two children and 19 years together and that still feels unreal," Shanga Forsberg wrote in a lengthy, heart wrenching statement posted to Instagram on Monday, telling her husband that she loved him "more than anything" and always supported him.

"But even love has its limits," she said. "The greatest love is my children and I want them to know their worth just as I know mine. Being taken for granted and neglected is not love."

According to the Daily Beast, Emil and Shanga, 31, are both from Sundsvall, Sweden and began dating when they were in their pre-teens. They married in July 2016 and just welcomed their second daughter last summer after seven years of marriage.

"A new start in New York was apparently a new start for you and your life," Shanga explained. "It was just that I, being a child, did not know about it beforehand. But it became painfully clear quickly. In the newspapers, we have read and seen that you are doing well and are 'enjoying every moment.' You also have future plans. We didn't know about them either."

"If the reporters even knew you’ve been talking to them more than your family these past few months," she continued. "Since you haven't communicated at all, apart from insisting that you can’t explain your actions, let time tell what it was you wanted to achieve by ghosting your family. I hope that in the future you can show respect and consideration for others despite your own needs. And have the courage and maturity to communicate."

Shanga concluded her statement by promising to continue putting their children's well being and security first. "For your sake, I hope you don’t regret it and that your new life in NY is worth a divorce and the way you treated your children and their mother," she added.

Forsberg's apparent about-face comes months after Shanga expressed excitement over the move in a Dec. 22 Instagram post. "Excited for what’s to come. Happy to stay in the family. New York, New York, [we're going to] New York!" she wrote at the time.

For his part, Forsberg has not publicly commented on his family situation. The midfielder, who also plays for Sweden's national team, was abroad for a match against Albania on Monday afternoon but is expected to return to New York City later this week following FIFA's international break.

40. Suspects Apprehended After Theft of $33,000 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' CardВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Police in Tokyo have arrested two men suspected of stealing a Yu-Gi-Oh! playing card worth JPY4.98 million (about $32,888), The Japan Times reported.

The two suspects, Sora Takashino and Kanta Sanmi, both 22, allegedly stole a coveted “Blue Eyes White Dragon” card from a store in the city’s Chiyoda Ward. The incident reportedly occurred around 4:50 p.m. on March 13, after Takashino entered a collectibles shop and convinced an employee to retrieve the card from a display case. After the clerk became distracted, it’s alleged that Takashino took the item and made a quick escape to a vehicle waiting about 400 feet down the road, allegedly driven by Sanmi.

The employee immediately realized the ruse and alerted the police. About three hours later, as authorities continued their search, Takashino and Sanmi allegedly pawned the valuable playing card about six miles away in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district. They reportedly received JPY1 million (about $6,606) for the item, but a customer in the store who deemed the duo suspicious alerted law enforcement.

Officers tracked Takashino and Sanmi down using the latter’s license plate number and arrested them on March 22.

Investigators claim that Sanmi confessed to driving Takashino, but he said he had no idea that his friend would commit the crime. The two men are apparently casual friends and have worked together with the same construction company since last year. Law enforcement officials reported that Takashino confessed to the theft, as he allegedly sought money for rent and food expenses.

In North America, the Blue Eyes White Dragon card retails on eBay and similar sites for between $4 and $700. It’s unclear what penalties Takashino and Sanmi will face for their alleged roles in the theft.

41. Video Shows Moment Cargo Shipped Rammed Into Baltimore Key Bridge, Collapsing ItВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

As rescue crews in Baltimore continue to scour the Patapsco River for survivors after the devastating early morning collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge, investigators are working to figure out exactly why and how the bridge came down.

At around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday, a Maersk-chartered ship known as Dali, owned and operated by Synergy Marine Group, crashed into one of the bridge’s pillars. Footage widely shared across social media shows black smoke pouring from the 948-foot cargo ship before it collides.

A few seconds later, the structure completely collapses into the water, breaking first at the support before coming down in the middle, sending rubble and cargo boxes tumbling into the water as the bridge comes apart.

— BNO News (@BNONews) March 26, 2024

Rescue crews immediately descended on the scene, and by mid-morning had reportedly pulled two people from the water. They're still searching for another six people.

According to the Associated Press, one official described the tragedy as a “developing mass casualty event.” James Wallace, Baltimore’s Fire Chief, reported to the outlet that searchers “may be looking for upwards of seven people.” Several reports claim there was also an eight-member construction crew working on the bridge when it collapsed.

Ian Firth, a structural engineer and bridge designer, told The Washington Post that Tuesday that the bridge may have come down so swiftly due to its “lightweight” support structure. Firth also believes that the vessel protection devices surrounding the bridge were “not adequate” to deter a large vessel such as the Dali.

It’s unclear at this point what exactly occurred on the ship, but footage appears to show the Dali losing power and suddenly slowing down before it veers off course and hits the bridge. The New York Post reported that the ship’s crew sent a “mayday” reporting a loss of power just before the collision.

Synergy reported that all 22 members of the Dali’s crew, including two pilots, were accounted for and that no injuries were reported on board. No Maersk crew or personnel were present on the Dali, which was set to arrive in Sri Lanka sometime next month. The boat is still in the harbor at this time.

Synergy has pledged its “full cooperation” with the investigation. Late Tuesday morning, officials indicated that the crash was “an accident” based on the evidence reviewed.

42. Patrick Mahomes Roasts Travis Kelce About His AgeВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes made a crack about his teammate Travis Kelce getting up there in years, just weeks after the 34-year-old's brother, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, announced his retirement.

Mahomes, 28, made the dig while accepting the Derrick Thomas Award on Friday. The award is presented annually to the Chiefs' most valuable player at the NFL's 101 Awards, which honors the best players and coaches from the past year. During the news conference, Mahomes was asked about the Chiefs signing wide receiver Marquise Brown, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals.

"I'll tell you, I've been impressed by how hungry he's been. You can tell he wants it, he wants to win," Mahomes said of his new teammate. "Obviously, he wants to do good and everybody wants to do good. But you can tell he wants to be a part of something that’s special, part of greatness."

"We’re trying to build that here and we believe that we’ve started it and we want to continue it. We still have a young team—other than Trav, he quipped of the Chiefs center, who is six years his senior. "And so if we can continue to build this with a lot of people who are hungry and wanna win, we can keep this thing going."

For sad #Chiefs fans, listen to Patrick Mahomes talk about Hollywood Brown..

Kelce is the second-oldest currently active Chiefs player after James Winchester, who was born in August 1989, just two months before the Ohio native.

Though most NFL players are generally considered "old" after crossing 30, there have been a number who have played through their 30s and even into their 40s, with Tom Brady being one of the oldest player ever when he retired at 45. But if Kelce follows his brother's trajectory, who was 36 when he made the difficult decision to step down from the Eagles, he's got at least another good two years left in him.

43. The Famous 'Titanic' Door Just Sold at Auction for a Pretty PennyВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Fans of James Cameron's legendary 1997 film Titanic are likely well-acquainted with a famous door at the end of the movie. Rose, played by Kate Winslet, lays on a wooden door floating among the frozen dead bodies that came from the ship, including her deceased lover Jack, played in Leonardo DiCaprio in his breakout role.

One lucky Titanic fan has gotten their hands on the iconic door. Heritage Auctions sold off several recognizable Hollywood props at its recent Treasures from Planet Hollywood auction. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the auction house noted that it's not actually a door, but "in reality part of the door frame just above the [ship's] first-class lounge entrance." The piece of balsa wood fetched an eye-popping $718,750.

It's not the only piece of Titanic history that was sold. The chiffon dress that Rose wore at the end of the movie went for $125,000.

The door brought in the most money at the auction and far outdid some of the other items sold. This included Harrison Ford's whip from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ($525,000), Jack Nicholson's ax from The Shining ($125,000), Tobey Maguire's black Symbiote Suit from Spider-Man 3 ($125,000), and Bill Murray's red bowling ball from Kingpin ($350,000).

As for the door, even director James Cameron couldn't answer the age-old question of whether both Jack and Rose could have both fit on the piece of wood. "Jack might’ve lived, but there’s a lot of variables," he said last year in a 25th anniversary National Geographic special. "I think his thought process was, 'I’m not going to do one thing that jeopardizes her.' And that’s 100 percent in character."

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale might have steep savings on big-ticket items like DeWalt power tools and Solo Stove fire pits, but some of the best deals are on the essentials, like hoodies, underwear, and flip-flops. Right now is also a perfect time to stock up on socks, thanks to one of the biggest brands in the game offering its bestselling style for just $2 a pair.

Right now, the GoldToe Cotton Crew Athletic Socks are on sale for $12—a $10 discount on the $22 everyday price. These socks are an Amazon No. 1 bestseller with more than 48,000 five-star ratings. They’re available in either large or XL, which cover men's shoe sizes 6 to 16. Though this deal applies only to the black multi-pack, discounts on other six- and 12-packs are also available.

There are plenty of performance socks made from innovative, high-end materials like merino wool, cashmere, and even antimicrobial silver, but sometimes you just need a basic pair of comfortable cotton socks. These GoldToe socks are made from over 80% cotton, with a blend of nylon and spandex for durability and stretch. They’re also designed to wick away moisture and keep feet dry for all-day comfort. The cotton construction makes them comfortable and soft for casual wear, while the reinforced toe and ribbing make them suitable for everyday workouts.

Many shoppers were impressed with how well the socks held up. “These socks are wonderfully soft, just thick enough, and are very durable,” one shopper said. Another shopper called them “comfortable and durable,” adding that they “wick away moisture better than just plain socks.”

Other shoppers found the socks well-suited for different kinds of shoes. One shopper fittingly called them the “Goldilocks pick of just-right socks,” adding that the “material is just that right amount of thickness” to wear with boots or sneakers.

Whether you’re in desperate need of new socks or you just want some to stash in your gym bag, it's hard to argue with the simplicity of GoldToe's bestselling crew socks for just $2 a pair. But Amazon's Big Spring Sale ends tonight, so if you're looking to score some socks, make sure to act quickly while the discount is still live.

45. Grizzly Bears Potentially Returning to This National ParkВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

For many years, North Cascades National Park and the surrounding Washington wilderness was home to countless grizzly bears. Now, after disappearing from the area nearly three decades ago, the bruins are set to be reintroduced to the region.

The National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has issued their final environmental impact statement on whether to restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades ecosystem and proposed two possible ways of returning the bears to their home here. This would likely include designating the group of bears as a "nonessential experimental" population, similar to when wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in the '90s. The last grizzly bears in North Cascades were spotted back in 1996.

It follows a similar move made in Colorado last year to reintroduce gray wolves in state wilderness after years of missing from the region. The North Cascades grizzly bear restoration plan, like Colorado's gray wolf experiment, has drawn criticism from some locals.

The National Park Service is expected to announce its final reintroduction plan decision in "the weeks ahead." But the move is already being celebrated by wildlife and conservation advocates who are delighted to see grizzly bears return to their North Cascades habitat.

"This is a critical moment in history, with governments, organizations, and individuals working together to welcome grizzlies back after human action removed them from their home," Snoqualmie Indian Tribal Chairman Robert M. de los Angeles said.

Wherever in nature you are, bear safety is essential, so always make sure you're equipped with the proper equipment just in case before hitting the trail.

46. One of Amazon's Bestselling Treadmills That Shoppers Call 'Life-Changing' Is Just $169 for the Big Spring SaleВт, 26 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Men’s Journal aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

After five days of mega discounts, Amazon's first-ever Big Spring Sale has turned out to be a sizable savings sensation. Tens of thousands of deals on everything from running shoes to angle grinders have offered shoppers a way to save on things they need going into the new season. And while bigger brands like Cap Barbell and Peloton have made waves in the fitness category, it's the lesser-known brands that have been the most surprising—like Elseluck with its ultra-affordable top-selling treadmill.

Right now, the Elseluck Under-Desk Portable Walking Treadmill is on sale for just $169 during the Big Spring Sale—a 33% discount on the normal $250 price tag. This convenient treadmill has received over 950 five-star ratings and has sold over 10,000 times in the last month, propelling it into a top-5 ranking among the bestselling treadmills on Amazon. It's available in your choice of black or silver.

This under-desk treadmill is roughly 48-by-20 inches and stands about 4.5 inches tall, which is the ideal size for storing under a bed, a couch, or even in a closet. It features an alloy steel frame that can support up to 220 pounds, a non-slip belt, and a motor that stays quiet while walking or jogging up to 3.8 mph. This walking treadmill also comes with a large LED display that shows duration, distance, and speed and a handheld remote that allows users to take control without having to get off.

Shoppers enjoy how well this walking treadmill integrates with their daily lives, but many are also thrilled with how light and easy-to-use it is. "I found this treadmill online and am glad I did! This is so lightweight I was able to carry it upstairs myself," a shopper said. "I like the features of tracking my time and distance…Be patient, as the treadmill will pick up speed. Just hit the plus sign once and wait for it to move a bit faster! This was a great find—very affordable, which was a big plus for me, and easy to use."

Other shoppers found this treadmill useful for integrating exercise into their long, demanding days at the office. "I work in a cardiothoracic surgery office and I convinced our office manager to let us get walking pads," a shopper said. "We already had stand-up desks, so why not?... I get on my walking pad a couple of separate times throughout the work day (which is 10 hours) and I have been not only reaching my 10,000-step goal but beating it daily by 6,000-plus! To not have the anxiety of either waking up at 4 a.m. or rushing home to work out before cooking dinner has been life-changing!"

Walking treadmills like this model from Elseluck have become hyper-popular with those in need of easy fitness solutions for small spaces or busy workdays, and for just $169, it's hard to argue. But Amazon's Big Spring Sale is wrapping up tonight, which means the 33% discount may disappear. So if you've been looking for a way to get your 10,000 steps in between meetings or even after work in the comfort of your home, take a chance on this compact treadmill while it's still on sale.

47. McDonald's Slowly Reintroducing Discontinued Fan-Favorite Breakfast ItemПн, 25 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

McDonald’s is reintroducing a beloved fan-favorite breakfast item more than four years after it last graced menus. Customers in Alabama and Pennsylvania have reported their local Golden Arches are once again offering bagel sandwiches.

Eagle-eyed fast food sleuths believe this is the latest development in a gradual reintroduction of the hotly desired item to menus across the country. They previously appeared on a few Southern California menus in January, and on menus in some regions of Tennessee last October.

McDonald’s is offering their traditional Bacon, Egg & Cheese and Sausage, Egg & Cheese Bagel sandwiches in addition to a new selection.

The Steak, Egg & Cheese Bagel is quite different from the other breakfast bagel offerings, which include only meat, eggs, and cheese. It’s “toasted with real butter and holds a tender, juicy steak patty, a fluffy folded egg, melty American cheese, and savory grilled onions,” according to the chain.

McDonald's new Steak, Egg & Cheese bagel breakfast sandwich.

McDonald's

The Facebook group Where’s My McDonald’s Bagel has seen posts from users across America celebrating the breakfast staple’s comeback. Several customers in different parts of Texas reported that the bagel sandwiches have returned to local stores, but some say they’re only available by request and are not printed on the menu.

Some patrons similarly reported that the sandwiches are offered in-store only and are not available on McDonald’s app. One customer confirmed with their local restaurant that the bagel sandwiches will be available as of April 1.

Facebook user Casey Ketcham set the record straight on the expected re-launch date: “PSA as I keep seeing people stating this. Do NOT rely on the app showing the bagels to tell if your store has them or not. They don't go live officially until April 1, so many stores have them but just not on the app everywhere yet.”

“I asked last Friday and they said [the bagel sandwiches would be available] Monday,” Kayla Rodgers replied of her local store. “So I went back this morning and they had them, but not on the menu and no advertising yet.”

McDonald’s did not specify a date when asked by Men’s Journal about the nationwide launch date for the sandwiches

However, McDonald’s did confirm in its response that another fan-favorite item has already made a return in some markets. Beginning March 25, you can grab the chain’s beloved Spicy Chicken McNuggets for a limited time only. The spiky spin-off debuted in 2020 and was most recently available last September.

In the last few months, McDonald’s has made a remarkable number of additions both temporary and permanent to its menu.

Last month, McDonald’s launched an anime-inspired meal including a new Savory Chili WcDonald’s Sauce. The chain also announced major changes to its signature Big Mac, and recently brought back the breakfast wrap in addition to their Strawberry & Creme Pie.

The chain also opened a rapturously received spin-off, CosMc’s, in Illinois in December before cutting the ribbon on a Texas location last week.

48. Ronda Rousey Reveals Infamous WWE Moment That Gave Her a ConcussionПн, 25 мар[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Olympic medalist and champion fighter Ronda Rousey joined WWE in 2018, marking a major step in her career after first finding success as a mixed martial arts fighter. When Rousey made her debut at Elimination Chamber that year, WWE promoter and retired wrestler Stephanie McMahon, daughter of WWE founder Vince McMahon, wanted to give the MMA star a warm welcome to the ring.

Rousey proceeded to slam former WWE star Triple H through a table onto the ground. Seconds later, Stephanie McMahon came up behind her while she stood over Triple H, turned Rousey around, and slapped her upside the head. The crowd naturally reacted in shock.

In a new interview with Cageside Seats, Rousey explained that the incident caused her some serious head trauma. "It gave me a concussion," she said of McMahon's slap.

A concussion is no laughing matter, and Rousey learned early on that she was prone to the potentially dangerous head injury. "I had a very rich concussion history before I even started in MMA. For my entire judo career, which was like 10 years, I actually was experiencing concussion symptoms more often than not for an entire decade," she said.

"Every single time you get one concussion, it’s easier to get the next one. And so I’d been compounding concussion after concussion after concussion for so many years that when I got into MMA, if I got any kind of significant strike, I would be seeing stars, which is not normal," she continued.

At the time, there wasn't as much education and care around injuries such as concussions. "It was just that era where if you bonked your head or something like that and you told your coach, 'I have photo vision. I have spots in my vision. I’m nauseous. I have a headache,' they just told you to stop being a p---y, suck it up, and go back on the mat," she stated plainly.

Still, she felt she had to keep quiet about what she was going through.

"It got to the point where if I was getting touched at all, if I was getting jabbed, I was starting to get concussion symptoms and I couldn’t tell my coach about it. I couldn’t tell [UFC president] Dana [White] about it, because they would retire me. They wouldn’t let me fight. And I wasn’t ready to let go. I wasn’t ready to admit that I couldn’t do everything perfectly," she said. "I didn’t want to say anything. I didn’t want them to say, 'Oh, you can’t do this match that you’ve been preparing for. You can’t do this, can’t do that.' And I had a lifetime of experience hiding concussions. And so now that I’ve basically putting all of that behind me, I can finally be open about these things."

Stephanie McMahon's 2018 slap wasn't the only injury in the WWE that gave Rousey a concussion. She faced off against wrestler Nikki Bella at the Evolution event that same year, but Bella had already laid hands on Rousey before they even got in the ring. "Nikki Bella gave me an open-hand slap [in the days leading up to the match] and I was seeing stars and I had a headache for the rest of the day," she recalled.

Rousey left WWE in October 2023 and has since been wrestling on the independent circuit. Her new memoir Our Fight, which chronicles her life and career in the spotlight, is out April 2.

49. The Best Off-Roading EVs of 2024Пн, 23 дек 2019[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

Even if the mainstream off-roading community wants to avoid the inevitable, electric vehicles will soon transform adventures in deserts, forests, and snowy mountains alike. Electrified powertrains offer huge advantages off the tarmac, even if getting out of the city can seem like the opposite of how many EV companies view and market their products today.

Compared to an internal-combustion off-roader, an EV runs quietly, amplifying the immersive sounds of nature without scaring off wildlife (as much). An added bonus: Engine noises also don’t drown out the sound of tires rolling over dirt, rocks, and snow—and in fire-prone areas, EVs remove the danger of temperature and spark issues starting a wildfire.

The biggest trade-off to off-roading an EV currently involves range anxiety and weight gains, of course, but Moore’s law means that batteries keep getting lighter and lighter while offering more range. And lower speeds typical of off-roading make EVs the perfect use case in terms of efficiency, even if impressive power and torque figures can help any EV blast along at top speed, too.

The electric off-roading market will continue expanding in the near future—including improvements to the reliability of Tesla’s controversial Cybertruck—but for now, here is an excellent selection of EVs, e-motorcycles, and even e-MTBs to transform that next adventure into a futuristic romp out in nature.

Best Off-Road EV Pickup Truck: Rivian R1T

The increasingly popular Rivian R1T pickup truck might look best in Los Angeles or Marin, California, but despite its undeniable greenie-weenie status, it runs surprisingly well off-road, too. Haters are quick to point out the truck’s independent four-wheel suspension rather than solid axles, plus a curb weight that can reach over 7,000 pounds. But, with adjustable ride height and impressive suspension droop stats, the R1T can hang with the best stock internal combustion engine pickups in most terrain.

Plus—especially for the quad-motor R1T—the ability to deliver 835 horsepower and 908 lb-ft of torque in low-traction situations completely revolutionizes the concept of crawling. And all that power shows up in a big way while trudging through dunes and along dirt trails. Solid range at an EPA-estimated 352 miles makes the Rivian R1T perfect for day trips and longer overlanding adventures alike, though mounting more legit mud-terrain tires will likely cut into that figure substantially. Check our our full Rivian R1T review.

Best Off-Road EV Full-Size SUV: GMC Hummer EV SUV

The enormous brick that is the revived Hummer obviously presents trade-offs for real-life convenience. Such futuristic design hews more closely to the H2 or H3 than the original military Humvee-derived truck that debuted in the late 1990s. But as much as everyone wants to hate it—and sure, the crab walk feature is a hell of a gimmick—the new Hummer EV SUV performs pretty well off-road.

A tri-motor version can pump out up to 830 horsepower and the enormous 212-kWh battery allows for a range estimate that tops out at a legit 314 miles. More importantly, a serious air suspension system can raise the Hummer EV to create up to 16 inches of ground clearance, in so-called Extract mode, and a 49.6-degree approach angle. The only thing it needs to hit the trail with a bit more confidence would be a spare tire or two, and a heavy-duty jack to change out wheels or help a rescue effort since nothing will likely be able to winch out this 9,640-pound behemoth.

Best Off-Road EV for Utility: Polaris Ranger XP Kinetic

As the world of high-performance side-by-sides keep blowing up, thanks to the escalating power and suspension wars between Can-Am with the Maverick and Polaris with the RZR, big-time power stats seem all too common these days. But the use case for an electric side-by-side still needs work given additional weight and charging inconvenience.

That’s why Polaris decided to partner with Zero Motorcycles to electrify the Ranger UTV before the RZR. But electric torque makes the Ranger XP Kinetic a ripping little ranch cart, and one that won’t scare away livestock or wild critters. Pack the short bed with gear, get out into the woods, and explore for about 80 miles of range—not a huge number but plenty to get lost and found again.

Best Off-Road EV Dirt Bike: Stark Varg

Stark Varg EV Dirt Bike

While the Varg is currently the fastest dirt bike on the planet—gas or electric—it's also the most user-friendly thanks to its integrated adjustability. The power output (and how it’s delivered) can be dropped as low as just 10 horsepower using the full-color touchscreen dash (which is also a removable Android smartphone), and you can tinker with selectable traction control settings and regenerative braking. You can even choose between different “flywheel” settings to make the Varg emulate the feel of a four- or two-stroke engine. The possibilities are nearly endless.

Another feature we’re extremely impressed by: the personalization offered by Stark on every Varg ordered from the factory. Each bike gets either a 60- or 80-hp motor, with suspension that’s been custom-sprung for the owner’s weight, and buyers also get to choose between an 18- or 19-inch rear wheel, as well as whether they want to have a hand brake or a traditional foot brake like a gas-powered machine.

Best Off-Road EV Adventure Motorcycle: Zero DSR/X

Zero DSR/X EV Adventure Motorcycle

Zero arguably sparked the e-motorcycle industry, and now leads the charge (two puns, both fully intended) in sporty and ADV electric bikes. The company’s quality keeps stepping up alongside battery capacities and motor performance, and the new DSR/X truly rides as well as some internal-combustion ADV bikes.

It’s still on the heavier end, especially once adding saddlebags full of gear and a range extender battery onto the base bike’s 544 pounds. And range estimates vary wildly from 180 miles in the city to approximately 85 miles while riding at 75 miles an hour—luckily, off-road riding tends to be a bit slower, so Zero estimates a fully loaded DSR/X can manage up to 200 miles on mixed surfaces typical of an off-road adventure. Impressive throttle modulation and modern traction control tame the 166 lb-ft of torque, and the low-slung battery helps to prevent too much tipping from an otherwise heavy bike.

Best Off-Road EV Mountain Bike: Thomus Lightrider E Ultimate

Thomus Lightrider E Ultimate EV Mountain Bike

In 2021, Americans bought more e-bikes than EVs. Most popular e-bikes target urban buyers, though, with retro-futuristic styling built out of the cheapest possible components that lower the cost of entry while making serious sacrifices by increasing weight in a big way. Even many of the best e-MTB options still tip the scales at 50 pounds and up, but as the name suggests, not the Lightrider E Ultimate from Swiss bike maker Thomus.

With a carbon-fiber frame and a supremely svelte Shimano powertrain, the Thomus weighs just 33 pounds and offers enough electric assist to make riding uphill a cinch, allowing you to save energy for downhill runs. The full suspension setup helps to absorb bumps that heavier electric 29ers take much more harshly, and progressive grunt from the e-motor can provide a bit of help on flatter roads while riding to and from the trailhead.

Best Off-Road E-Bike: QuietKat Ranger AWD

QuietKat has been building some of the best e-bikes for getting out into remote places with lots of gear, whether you're going hunting, fishing, or just on an extended camping trip. Its bikes are big, burly, and made to withstand pounding on tough trails deep in the wilderness. They are hefty, but they will last.

The latest model from QuietKat, the Ranger AWD, just dropped and is the best one yet. It's the brand's first model with all-wheel drive, and can conveniently be turned on and off with a simple switch on the handlebar controls. You can toggle between rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and front-wheel drive. Two 750-kW motors in the hubs supply the grunt and can keep the 90-pound Ranger rolling for a 52-mile maximum with the 17.25Ah battery, while the upgraded thumb throttle is more finely tuned with a granular response to input.

A single-speed drivetrain provides simplicity to make the Ranger more robust and able to be put back online in the backcountry, while a 120mm front shock, 26-by-4.5-inch fat tires, suspension seat post, and comfy, wide saddle all work together to absorb bumps when off-roading. The thick frame is made from an aluminum alloy and features an integrated pannier rack that can hold up to 325 pounds. Two piston hydraulic disc brakes with beefy 203mm rotors deliver plenty of stopping power, even when you're cruising through gnarly mud and dust.

Why You Should Trust Me

I’ve driven just about everything with a motor over the past six-plus years in the automotive industry, from a Bugatti Chiron to Hyundais, motorcycles, and even World War II-era tanks. During the pandemic, I discovered off-roading first as a way to escape from L.A., then progressed quickly into the more hardcore worlds of rock crawling and rally racing. But the slow pace of overlanding on a budget, rather than in some of the awesome million-dollar rigs I’ve tested, still brings together my love of nature, gear, trucks, and cooking over an open flame better than just about anything—including that Bugatti.

50. 4x4 VS AWD, Explained: What to Know Before You Go Off-RoadЧт, 05 дек 2019[-/+]
Категория(?)  Автор(?)

For a layman chatting to a mechanic or gearhead, automotive jargon can seem like a foreign language. To the average person on the street, terms like torque vectoring, locking differentials, pinion gears, and half-shafts are meaningless. However, there's a pair of terms that's more confusing than they need to be: 4x4 vs AWD. Knowing the difference is a must for off-roading beginners (the same goes for differentiating ATVs vs side-by-sides).

Many off-road-capable vehicles these days are marketed as having one of these two systems, and the differences between them are often confusing to consumers. Both send power to all four of the car or truck's wheels, but the way in which they do so is different. A true 4x4 system is also significantly more capable for extreme off-road use than an all-wheel-drive system, making the distinction even more important to understand.

What Is a 4x4?

The Toyota 4Runner is a classic off-road machine that uses 4x4 to power through off-road terrain and on-road hazards like snow.

Stinson Carter

Four-by-four, also known as part-time four-wheel-drive or 4WD, is a system that can be set to transfer power to either two or four wheels. Generally this is accomplished through the use of a transfer case, which the driver of the vehicle can engage or disengage with a lever, knob, or button inside the vehicle.

Many 4x4 vehicles have a two-wheel-drive setting for everyday use, as well as high-range and low-range settings, labeled as 4-hi and 4-lo. These options effectively give the driver more power and control at low speeds. For example, selecting 4-lo would help crawl up a muddy slope at 5 mph. Vehicles with true 4x4 systems are ideal for heavy off-road use, such as climbing steep hills, crawling over boulders, and tackling rutted muddy trails.

What Is AWD?

The newer Subaru Outback's are capable off-road machines that use AWD to traverse sketchy situations off the pavement.

Stinson Carter

All-wheel-drive, also called full-time four-wheel-drive or AWD, typically powers all four wheels at all times. Many modern AWD vehicles have anti-slip systems to distribute power from front to back or side to side. So, if one wheel begins to spin, power is sent by a computerized or mechanical device to the other three in order to help the vehicle keep moving. Most AWD vehicles don't have user-controlled settings to force the vehicle into two-wheel-drive mode, or high- or low-reduction gear transfer case settings.

AWD excels on loose surfaces, such as gravel, sand, or snow, and is often used in off-road rally cars for this reason. However, it isn't ideal for low-speed crawling over extremely tough terrain.

What Should You Consider Before Choosing an AWD or 4WD Vehicle?

“Understand what you’re buying,” says off-road expert Dave Rees. “Familiarize yourself with what you want to do and what the capabilities of the vehicle are.”

Rees says AWD is great for daily use, and something like an AWD Subaru is great on gravel. But if you really want to go beyond gravel, you may need 4x4. There are variations that offer a little of both worlds, such as the new Lexus GX, which is AWD but has a locking center differential like a 4x4.

“Both systems [AWD and 4x4] are bound by physics in that you can only pass over an obstacle if you have enough clearance and enough traction,” says Rob Shydo, an off-road expert with Exploring NH. Shydo explains that clearance can differ between AWD and 4WD vehicles, even if they have the same or similar ground clearance on paper.

Case in point, modern AWD vehicles that most would consider a car, like an Outback or Crosstrek, now have ride heights that can challenge some of the newer SUVs and trucks—like the new Lexus GX and its sibling, the forthcoming 250 Series Land Cruiser. The Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness model, which is optimized for playing in the dirt, boasts a 9.3-inch ground clearance. The new GX and Land Cruiser only give you 8.9 and 8.7 inches, respectively.

But, once you run out of ground clearance, or “talent,” as he calls it, you may have more options with a 4x4 vehicle such as a 4Runner than you would on an AWD, such as a Subaru. On the 4Runner, the lowest part most at risk of hitting an obstacle is likely part of the rear axle, so “if you run out of talent on a trail, a fairly strong piece of metal would hit the obstacle.”

But there are also other areas under the vehicle that may offer higher clearance, so with 4WD you might be able to maneuver around an obstacle on the trail. With AWD vehicles, however, the first part of the vehicle to touch the ground can be more delicate—like part of the suspension, the exhaust system, or even an oil pan or gas tank.

So not only is the first point of contact likely more vulnerable on an AWD vehicle, but there may also not be as many high points underneath to help you maneuver around an obstacle. In short, if you plan to use your vehicle to traverse highly technical terrain, you’ll have a bigger margin for error with a 4WD.

Do You Really Need 4WD?

If you’re choosing between a 4x4 and AWD, it’s important to know AWD can handle what most people throw at it in the most common off-road scenarios.

“People think they have to have a Bronco with 50 grand in mods, but actually, no, you don’t.” says Randy Nonnenberg, founder of the online used vehicle auction site Bring a Trailer.

It's fun to add tons of mods your off-roader, but it can get pricey fast and isn't usually even necessary for most excursions off the beaten path.

Nonnenburg has changed his thinking about what you actually need for off-roading. “Stuff I thought was a cool off-roader as a kid—a Jeep CJ-7, a Land Cruiser, an early Bronco—you can do better off-road with a Subaru Outback. Vehicles are just so capable now.”

Pros and Cons of 4x4 VS AWD?

Pros of 4x4

  • Typical 4x4 vehicles have more ground clearance than AWD
  • More direct control for specific off-road situations
  • Better for people who seriously go beyond pavement and gravel
  • Can be flat towed in neutral
  • Low range gearing is better for towing in some situations

Cons of 4x4

  • Heavier systems than AWD
  • More driver engagement required
  • Less fuel efficient than AWD systems
  • Can require more maintenance, adding to cost of ownership

Pros of AWD

  • Less driver input needed
  • Better for most people in realistic driving scenarios
  • More fuel efficient than 4x4

Cons of AWD

  • Typically on crossovers or cars with lower ground clearance so skid plates needed for off-roading
  • No direct manual control
  • No locking differentials
  • Tires wear out faster than 2WD systems
