First stop: Louie’s Tap House in Roscoe, IL, where I placed 8th out of 99 in the Smoke’n Aces Poker Bar League Monthly Main Event. 🃏 But here’s the twist: I showed up in full Kohl’s gear, from neck to toe—cargo shorts, boat shoes, Parce Rum hat—and a grin that screamed “bargain-hunting stepdad.” From $4 shirts to $444 in Kohl’s debt, I wrote the whole wild ride down. 👉 Read the blog here: Vato.tv/KohlsAdventure

After a brief (okay, not so brief) hiatus from our Vato’s Locos Skool community, I’m officially BACK! 🙌 Not that paying $100 a month wasn’t worth it to connect with friends, family, and fans… but let’s be real — now that it’s only $9, I feel spiritually aligned again 💸✨ Let’s revive this space and turn it into the thriving, supportive, funny-as-hell community it was always meant to be. Whether you’re an artist, podcaster, comic, actor, poker player, genius, weirdo, or just someone who enjoys watching the chaos unfold — you’re welcome here. Let’s connect, collaborate, and create something cool together. Or at the very least, let’s laugh at each other’s posts and pretend that counts as productivity. 😎 Drop a comment below to let me know you’re alive!

Please keep LA (The City of Angels) in your prayers. The fires are devastating to the residents, first responders, and animal life. The water supply is low, and in many cases, not available. Amidst all this, I believe our Lord is showing His grace and mercy and will provide. 💙🙏🏼

I wish you all a prosperous and Happy New Year! Best wishes!
