Sure, we've missed the ocassional week here and there. And yes, it might have arrived on Thursday instead of Wednesday, or 2pm instead of 10am a couple of times. But that's just showbiz baby and we don't make the rules! Pat Sajak and Vanna White do. We answer to them and they answer to no one and that's the way it's always been! But we've spun this beautiful B-Mail wheel 50 straight times now and that's something to celebrate like we hit the bonus round for a newwwww corvette!!
Absolute zapper Wheel references for no other reason than we're watching it right now with the finest bowl of spinach tortellini my good man Trader Joe has to offer. Am I right or am I right? Focus now.
To celebrate, the boss wants us to give 20% off The Membership for today only using—let me see here—code ISSUE50. The Membership gets you 20% off ASICS footwear, a $50 Bandit gift card, and so much more. We're no Pythagoras, but pretty sure that means everything is basically free. Pull up. Come through. Like, comment, subscribe.

It's official: Sometime in May (if all goes according to plan) we'll be busting open the doors to our new flagship in the West Village (328 Bleecker Street) with a café from our good friends at Rhythm Zero. This clearly calls for an insane video. Watch it here along with some good ol' fashioned BTS of "John is really late to his job as a construction worker."

We may or may not have learned the guy behind our favorite dance spot, the legendary Good Room in Greenpoint, is a 8x marathoner as the sun was coming up one early Sunday morning at said dance spot. It was a business trip.. gathering intel.. uncovering hard-hitting running world news. You understand. We sat down with Mr. Houtkin to understand how the hell he does both.
