Old Chile stirs up a Texas-sized tale of friendship, faith, and 75 gallons of gumbo gone rogue. When the local Episcopal minister ropes him and the McKinney police chief into cooking for a church fundraiser, things quickly go off-recipe—no silverware, no idea how to use the soup kettles, and a final gumbo spill that sends the neighborhood pets into a Cajun frenzy. It’s a story of community, chaos, and just enough roux t...

Old Chile lifts the curtain on one of life’s more delicate adventures: his very own vasectomy, or as he calls it—The Gelding. With plenty of pre-op “research” (read: beers and bad advice), a homegrown shave job, and enough one-liners to keep the surgical staff blushing, Chile turns a nerve-wracking rite of passage into a comedy of errors. From pink Easter egg jokes to post...

Old Chile brings the party—and a handful of .22 bullets—to a not-so-peaceful sixth birthday bash. With tap shoes for Lucy, a bullhorn for Brian, and four shiny cartridges tucked under his tongue, Chile manages to dodge Simon Says, fake-swallow live ammo, and send a roomful of moms into a frenzy. A call to Goose Creek Hospital, a dramatic drive,...

Old Chile takes us back to one fateful Thursday night filled with Groucho Marx, choir practice, and a surprise trip to the emergency bathroom.

In this tale of burgers, backfires, and bare-bottomed blunders, Chile recounts a fateful lunch at the Rebel Inn with Daddy Max—a Studebaker-driving, camel-smoking character with a love for Pearl beer and zero regard for belts. It’s heartwarming, hilariou...

Old Chile takes us on a two-wheeled journey straight into the heart of boyhood curiosity, forbidden staircases, and one unforgettable delivery run. It’s 1956 in Goose Creek, Texas, and when Chile and his buddy “Hairs” get tasked with bringing mystery bags to the infamous Roxie’s, they think they’ve hit the adventure jackpot. What they find upstairs? Red lamps, sheer tops, and life lessons they definite...

Old Chile takes us back to the days of barbershop battles, flat tops, and the fateful Mohawk that earned him the worst whoopin’ of his life. From the talc-scented traditions of Old Reliable to the taxidermy jungle of the Trophy Barbershop, this coming-of-age cut is equal parts heartwarming, hilarious, and hairy. Turns out, the rite of passage to manhood sometimes starts with a pair of clippers and ends with dad’s belt. ...
