Jerk of the Week: Questions from Conrad It’s pretty cool watching my kids grow up. It seemed like yesterday when my wife and I were at the hospital, awaiting the birth of our first child. I documented this in Jerks of the Week, of course, and I wrote about how I didn’t realize the hospital…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 12: The Cursed Kiosk We’ve finally done it. We’ve reached the end of the Walt Goes to Vegas 2025 series. This is the 12th of 12 parts. Unbelievable. I write these ahead in the summer so I don’t have to spend hours on Jerks of…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 11: The Corn Jerkers and the Baubles I spent two entries in this extremely long Walt Goes to Vegas 2025 series discussing the Tuscany pool. I have one more entry to share about the pool, which encompassed my final full day in Las Vegas. I…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 10: The Sportsbook Trek I promised one more entry of a night out in Las Vegas, but don’t take that to mean that this is the conclusion of this extremely long Walt Goes to Vegas series. I still have one more entry about the pool,…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 9: The Toxic Hot Tub We’ve reached uncharted territory. I’ve never had a nine-part series for anything in Jerks of the Week. My first seven-part series occurred when I wrote about my trip to Miami for the initial Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl matchup that occurred just…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 8: The 100-Percent Tip I can’t believe it’s Part 8 of this year’s Walt Goes to Vegas series, and I haven’t even talked about the pool yet. There are always crazy hijinks at the Las Vegas pools, and this year’s edition will not disappoint. I’m…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 7: The Burger Guy I published a Jerks of the Week article over the summer about the price of hot dogs. In it, I discussed how and why I paid more than $7 for a hot dog when the price of hot dogs is just…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 6: The CVS Mom and the Monk As a result of making yearly trips to Las Vegas, I’ve learned to never pack shampoo in a suitcase. The same thing happens every time. No matter how tightly you close the cap, or how tightly you pack…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 5: The Tuscany and the D It just dawned on me that we’re entering Part 5 of the 2025 Walt Goes to Vegas series, and I haven’t even discussed the hotel yet. I suppose that’s what happens when there are sex-crazed women and screeching falcons…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 4: The Crooked Contest I know people who go to the same vacation destination every year. I think these people are a bit weird. For example, I know a married couple that goes to Disney World every summer. And I know what you’re thinking: “Walt,…
