When a man noticed his husband mysteriously disappearing on Saturday mornings soon after they got married six years ago, he started to think the worst. The Salt Lake City-based lawyer and humor columnist, Eli McCann, who posts on TikTok as @eliwmccann, told Newsweek that his husband would vanish for several hours and dodge any questions about where he was going. Eventually, McCann confronted him and asked if he was having an affair. The truth, however, turned out to be far more wholesome. "He was being cagey about what he was up to on Saturday mornings and indicated several times, if he told me, I was going to tease him. So I knew it was something kind of embarrassing and I finally just made him tell me. When I discovered it was Dungeons & Dragons, I laughed so hard, I had tears. I love his nerdy hobby, even if I don't understand it," McCann said. A split image of Eli McCann explaining the revelation that his partner was secretly playing "Dungeon & Dragons" every morning.

In the clip, he said, when his husband finally revealed his secret hobby, he exclaimed: "I wish you were having an affair." For the uninitiated, Dungeons & Dragons (often abbreviated as D&D) is a tabletop role-playing game where players create characters and embark on collaborative adventures guided by a Dungeon Master. First published in the 1970s, it blends storytelling, strategy, and improvisation, allowing players to immerse themselves in a fantasy world. McCann, who regularly writes about his personal life for The Salt Lake Tribune, said his husband's quirky habits often provide him with material: "He's such a delightfully odd man," he added. Viewers on TikTok were quick to share their own thoughts and laughter over the unexpected twist. "Honestly I would lie about that too," said one user. "I'd be so mad if my partner were playing dungeons and dragons without me, that's so rude," added Liam. "'i wish you were having an affair' killed me," another user wrote, referring to a particularly funny moment in McCann's viral video. "I thought you were going to say he was in a running club, when you said D & D it was a sigh of relief," said Kate. Do you have any viral videos or pictures that you want to share?

Coulee Cards to double its deck in Rochester
Jun. 3—ROCHESTER — Coulee Cards and Gaming , a Rochester sports and game cards shop, will soon more than double in size as it expands into the storefront next door. Coulee, which has seven stores in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Florida, opened in Rochester in 2022 in the atrium of the Miracle Mile Shopping Center at 162 17th Ave. NW. It is by the entrance to HOM Furniture, Sylvan Learning and Gibbons Optical. The Coulee stores, owned by Kurt Lange, carry sports cards as well as Pokemon, Magic: The Gathering and Yu-Gi-Oh! game cards plus Dungeon & Dragons game materials. After three years, the shop has outgrown the original 1,600-square-foot space, so the plan is to tear out a wall and expand into the empty adjacent 1,566-square-foot spot. That was last occupied by Hangers to Hems, a dry cleaning business. "We're knocking down part of the wall and expanding into that space, so it will be one big store. Basically, we're doubling in size," said Coulee Manager Travis Peek. "The extra space is gonna be really useful for more inventory and then also having more space for players for in-store competitions." Coulee Cards has four on staff in Rochester. Peek said the plan is to add more staff once the expansion is up and running. The demolition and construction work is expected to happen this month without disrupting the store's hours. Peek said the goal is to have the space in use in early July.
