Blaze Radio Network And now, chewing the fat with Jeff Fisher. The headline, Eating Grasshoppers can improve sleep, hair, and sexual function. That's not really true. When you look at the study published in the journal,

Food Science of Animal Products, and man, I love the Food Science of Animal Products, Journal. They talk about how. researchers in Cameroon have uncovered the surprising health benefits of a grasshopper-based diet suggesting these insects could be the key to better sleep, healthier hair, and even a stronger libido. So they fed these rats a diet of Rospolia Nittodula, which is an edible grasshopper. I really isn't a grasshopper. It's a cone-headed grasshopper, which I guess is a bush cricket.

Not really a grasshopper? Yeah, big difference. And now we want to tell us that once again, every, you know, four to six months, we get new stories about how good bugs are. But really, again, in this story, the headline tells you that it's, great, but when you

jump into the studied that was published for the food science and animal products, it could and may is not really will. But

there we go again. So if you're looking to, I don't know, sleep better, have better looking, stronger, fuller, thicker hair, and better sexual function. Just dive in. dive in to the old Cameroon grasshopper, which isn't a grasshopper, which is a bush cricket. And yum, yum, yum.

I will say, no thank you. Welcome. Welcome to chewing the fat. Are you ready for the lunar eclipse? I'm sorry, the partial lunar eclipse to combine with the super moon. which if you're listing live, today is Tuesday, the 24th of September, 2024. And we are going to have a partial lunar eclipse coinciding with a super moon tonight. So beginning at 8.41 p.m. Eastern, with the peak occurring at 10.44 p.m. Eastern.

So if you're listening to this after that date and time, you know, look forward. for the pictures. And so you'll be able to see the slightly reddish, uh, dimmed lunar eclipse where the moon turns completely red. Uh, this partial eclipse will only showcase a reddish hue on the part of the moon. So it's, uh, September's full harvest moon known for its brightness and size as a super moon will be partially eclipsed as earth's shadow covers about eight percent of its surface. Then, coming up later this month, we have a new mini-moon for two months. So a pair of asteroid dynamics researchers from Universidad Complutants de Madrid-Qaeda University,

which I love them, have found that a small asteroid will make one orbit around Earth starting this month before departing back into other parts of the solar system. So in this paper that they published in the journal Research Notes of the AAS, which I'm a fan of, we're going to have a mini moon, which really is just a small asteroid. And they've calculated the path over the next few months and found that it's going to come close enough to Earth to become bound by its gravity for only a couple of months. So it's going to, you know, circle the Earth one time, taking 53 days, starting at the end. of this month and then leaving near the middle of November. So it will appear that we have a mini moon.

Eh, kind of cool. And as long as we're up in space, we know this week, SpaceX is supposed to send the crew to the ISS on Thursday, you know, barring clouds in the sky, with the two empty seats on the spacecraft that will be used to bring home the marooned astronauts,

Bush, Wilmar and Sonny Williams, from the Starliner, Boeing, which they're cleaning house at the ISS. So we got rid of the deadweight, the starliner, which landed safely back here on the planet. So really, I mean, you could make the argument that the astronauts would have survived, but they did not want to take that chance. Now, so we got rid of that dead weight. And we also have astronauts returning from the ISS, the Russian, I'm sorry, cosmonauts, not astronauts.

They've left the ISS and came back to Earth with their record stay at 374 days. And now the one cosmonaut, Oleg Konanenko, has the record for the longest cumulative time in space at 1,111 days in orbit. So we got them off the space station. And it's, you know, now Butch and Sunny can clean up a little bit, tidy up, and have the astronauts from SpaceX arriving soon. And then they have to wait until, I don't know, the next 10 or 20 years before they come back to the planet. I know it's only until February,

but it feels like 10 or 20 years to them, that's for sure. And then I see where Elon is posting about how we're going to become multi-planetary. SpaceX planning to launch about five uncrewed starships to Mars, in two years. If those all land safely, then the crude missions are possible in four years. If we encounter challenges,

then the crude missions will be postponed another two years. So six years, we send crude missions to Mars, maybe. It's only possible to travel from Earth to Mars every two years when the planets are aligned. This increases the difficulty of the task, but also serves to immunize Mars from many catastrophic events on Earth. So no matter what happens with the landing success, this is Elon writing, SpaceX will increase the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially with every transit opportunity.

We want to enable everyone who wants to be a space traveler to go to Mars. That means you or your family or friends, anyone who dreams of great adventure. Eventually, there will be thousands of starships going to Mars, and it will be a glorious sight to see. Can you imagine? Wow. The fundamental existential question is whether humanity becomes sustainably multi-planetary before something happens on Earth to prevent that. For example, a nuclear war, a supervirus or population collapse that weaken civilization to the point where it loses the ability to send supply ships to Mars. One of my biggest concerns right now is that the starship program is being smothered by a mountain of government bureaucracy that grows every year. This stifling red tape is affecting all large projects in America, which is why, for example, California has spent $7 billion on several years on high-speed rail, but only has 1,600 feet section.

It only has 1,600-foot section of concrete to show for it. Yeah, it's amazing. So, yeah, obviously he wants to, you know, vote for Trump. And this is why Kamala regime is an absolute showstopper to Elon. and his plans to be multi-planetary. But that is some of your space news. I mean, Elon is in the news everywhere. This guy is amazing.

I mean, he's being sued by cards against humanity. Have you ever played that game? It's a fun game. But it's a big guy game, no question. But they filed a $15 million lawsuit against SpaceX for allegedly trespassing and damaging property from a company he owns in Texas. Okay, so he's being.

sued there. I guess the company bought property in Texas when they talked about building a border wall, and then Elon expanded some business with SpaceX and started destroying in Cards Against Humanities business words. And so they are, and then he lowballed. He said, oh, hey, sorry, we didn't. We're using your property. Sorry. And then he said, I'll buy it. Here's some money, which apparently was a lowball offer. So now he's being sued and they want 15. million dollars i don't know if he gets the property or if he just has to pay 15 million dollars and then the property still belongs to cards against humanity people but uh we'll see how that turns out and then looks like he may bend the knee in brazil uh he's looking to get x back up and running in

brazil and uh we'll see what happens there i not quite sure uh guess it looks like x is trying to say hey, hey, we'll do a few things here to get us back up and running. So we'll see what happens in Brazil. He's being the SEC, not the football conference, but the security and exchange commission, is seeking sanctions against Elon after he failed to give testimony in an investigation of his takeover of Twitter. So he's got that going on.

And then he's got, you know, other issues with Tesla and Neurrelink. So Elon in the news, man. He's got his hands in a lot. And he's a busy man. He's a busy, busy man. But he's ready to go to Mars. Maybe that's the reason. And that's the thing.

I never hear him saying that he's going to go to Mars. He's shipping all of us off to Mars. But I never hear him say, yeah, I'm going to hop on the first flight and go. We're going to see how that works out first. We'll wait until things, you know, settle down. Then I'll think about going. But I don't know when Elon's going to go. He's there for us to go.

And no, I'm not talking about, I've decided to go to Mars. Although that could be coming in a few years, but that certainly isn't going to happen now. What's happening now is that you're either buying or selling a house or both. And what it would mean to not only have help, but to have the best help available. Imagine what it would be like to not have to not have to worry about whether you're going to be able to find the right contractors to do the repair work,

the right photographer, the right mortgage company, the right everybody you'll need to make this not only a smooth process, but hopefully a profitable one. Well, good news. You don't have to just imagine. Real estate agents I trust pairs you with the best real estate agents in your area, someone who knows the best practices, someone who understands the crazy housing market, someone who's a team leader and a closer. Also, someone you can trust. Huh, that's the name, real estate agents, I trust, pretty much says it all.

So if you're thinking about buying or selling a home or both, get in touch with them. You'll see exactly what I mean. Go to real estate agents, I trust.com. Real estate agents I trust.com. So I see where Boeing has offered a 30% raise in an attempt to end the strike with the 30,000 factory workers on strike

and the 737 production halted for a second week. The aviation company offered to hike wages for union members higher than the original 25% increase over four years they voted to reject. Boeing gave the union until Friday to ratify the improved contract,

which also offered a bigger ratification bonus and larger contributions to employees for a way. 1K plans. The International Association of Machinas, which negotiated the earlier deal that its members rejected, didn't immediately weigh in on what Boeing called its best and final offer. So we'll see if it is their best and final offer because the IAM, the International Association of Machinists, just may tell Boeing. hey, get bent and come back again.

But we'll see. Everybody needs to work. And they've already put people on hold for working for the company that aren't on strike, but because of the strike. So we'll see what comes of that if there actually is their best and final offer. Then we have the Airmark workers strike against all three Philadelphia sports stadiums. They went on strike as well. and what do they want?

Well, of course, they want more money. There's picket lines including cooks, servers, bartenders, dishwashers, concession workers, cleaners, retail workers, and warehouse employers employed by Airmark. This comes after Airmar employees from Wells Fargo Center, Citizens Bank Park, and Lincoln Financial Field, all voted in favor of authorizing a strike.

So we've got baseball games and football games. We'll see. I guess some of them are, going to work even while they're on strike because they need to work. I don't know. They want more money. They're only making $14 to $16 an hour while grossing $18 billion a year. We're asking for health care and equal treatment at all three stadiums.

Strike organizers also noted that this decision was made after Mayor Parker struck a deal with the 76ers for a new arena in Center City. Before we start talking about building a new arena, we need to make sure that the stadium food service jobs are good jobs. Okay? So you can pay off, build a new stadium and help them out, but we need some more money over this way

toward us, okay? Don't be overlooking the vendors. So we'll see how long that lasts in Philadelphia. And we've got plenty of other companies that we've covered on the show that are on strike or calling, saying they're going to strike. I bet you the old workers at Kmart

would be happy with their jobs because now the last Kmart, the last full-size U.S. store, a location in Bridgehampton, New York, is closing down on October 20th. So that means we'll have the smaller store in Miami, and I guess they have a couple of outposts in Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Man, there's nothing like shopping at the Guam and Kmart. Love that place. Man, you can't drag me out of the Guam Kmart. And so remember, I mean, Sears paid like $11 billion to merger in 2005.

And that was supposed to help them compete against Walmart. And Kmart at the time had 1,400 stores. Sears had 900. And then there was Amazon and Walmart kept growing. And then they filed for bankruptcy. And I guess they came out of that with like 425 Kmart and Sears stores. And do they, I mean, they're not even close to that now. And now Kmart is going completely away, except for, you know, the Guam Kmart and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

But that Guam Kmart is beautiful, man. You walk in that place and you're like, wow, why isn't this in America? I mean, it's in a territory. But it's not a full-size store, because according to this story, the last full-size store closes in October. Wow, Kmart, history. And they were just a monster at one time. And now, and no more. All right, let's go to the break room.

So apparently they're coming out with the new song, first new song in 16 years. And I thought, wow, that's pretty cool. But then I see where a moat is, is dropping new music. So it's a previously unknown piece of music. So it's not really new music, but

we didn't know about it, apparently, composed by a teenage wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I was recently uncovered at a library in Germany. The piece dates to the mid-to-late 1760s. So what do you got for me?

The Cure? Yeah, 16 years? So, I got a piece from 1760s. 60, okay? Consists of seven miniature movements for a string trio. Last about 12 minutes. Apparently, they found it at the Lipsig Municipal Library. And they don't know, you know, it wasn't signed by him. So they kind of think it was the dad who was saving it at the time because he was,

I mean, the guy was creating music when he was, I don't know, a little kid. I mean, he was a child prodigy, and he was creating all this stuff. So I know that the library is 280 miles north of Salzburg, Austria, where Mozart was born in 1756. And it says, yeah, he was performing by the age of five. So he was creating music, and they claim that this sounds like stuff he created about the time. At that time, as the, you know, when he was, you know, a youngster.

And then he, uh, changed, you know, some of his work as he got older and composed a bunch of stuff. So this, uh, is called the, because they named this. So they named it, uh, or he named it, whatever. It's a, it was a manuscript containing a handwritten composition in brown ink. Serenade in C. What do you got for me, the cure? Yeah, I bet you don't have a. a serenaded sea.

And as I said, it was meant for three strings of actually a string trio, two violins, and a bass. And it was performed. Some would say, again, because we figure that, you know, my Matt Mozart took care of it, or my boy,

Mozart, because he died like when he was 35 or something. He was young. But he had been performing for like 30 years. He was just tired, man. I'm sick of performing all this stuff. I've created all this great work. And, uh, I'm tired. Okay, I've been performing for all you hoity-toits forever.

Okay. Just live with what I've got. Recreum and D minor, yeah. Jupiter Symphony, yeah. The marriage of figure, oh, yeah. Okay, that's me. All right, so I just, I guess they think he created this for his sister. Not sure, though.

They just kind of think that, that was saved by his sister because it was something that he wrote for her. But it was performed at the Lipzig operative. opera house, uh, to a packed house outside, bringing Mozart to the masses there at the, uh, at the opera house. Serenade in sea. I don't know if they're taking the, uh, Mozart to the masses on tour with Vincent Geer, David Geer on a violin. Ooh, the brothers playing violets. Um, maybe even twins kind of look like twins here on the video. And Elizabeth Zimmerman on cello. And man does it rock. Uh, we're getting ready.

Mozart. Symphony. In C. The Cure. I keep calling it symphony and C. It's sereneid in C. Duh. I apologize.

Amadeus. He wasn't Amadeus when he wrote this, though. He didn't start using Amadeus in his name for it until he was a little older. I can't do 12 minutes of this. Ah, that's beautiful. Okay, thank you. That's beautiful. If you want to hear the rest, I'll post this.

Ha, ha, ha. I'll post this on my ex account at Jeffrey JFR later today, so you could go and find this new rocking serenade in C from Mozart. With Amex Platinum, $400 in annual credits for travel and dining means you not only satisfy your travel bug, but your taste buds too. That's the powerful backing of Amex. apply. All right, so I told you I would watch Penguin and I did. I watched Penguin last night. I don't think this counts in their ratings though because according to this, the debut of the Penguin broke records on Max, drawing the largest four-day audience for a new series globally since the last of us in January of 2023. Yeah, so I watched it on Monday and it dropped on Thursday. So Thursday, Friday, Friday, Saturday, that's the four days. So I don't count in this. In the U.S. series average 5.3 million viewers during its debut weekend, surpassing the premieres of Succession, 4.9 million, and White Lotus, 4.1 million.

It ranked just below True Detective Night Country's Season 4 premiere, which averaged 5.7 million viewers. Yeah, we all tuned in for that. The show's success also boosted viewership for the Batman on Max, increasing the movie's reach by three and a half times. Yeah, everybody wanted to watch the best. Batman again since this was to be picked up right after the end of Batman which it did and that was really good Colin Farrell as the Penguins really good it was an interesting first episode and uh you

know just a thin guy playing a fat guy so I'm trying not to be angry about it that's all playing a thin heterosexual unhandicapped person playing a fat handiqed person playing a fat cat person. I mean, I should be okay with it, but Colin Farrell does great. Now, he said in this movie, and it's a big guy show, no question. He said that he watched Toy Story and whether I believe him or not, you know, okay, if that's what you say. He said that he watched Toy Story and other Pixar movies while filming the Penguin to escape the darkness. I was watching them all at the of the day, just for something light and beautiful, because it's going to get dark and it's going to get darker. So if you like dark, and you're a fan of, you know, the Batman world,

Gotham, Penguin is about to take over because he just realizes that he's the man and he's going to take it over. And he's sick of people thinking that he's not worthy. So if you like that whole genre, it's definitely worth a watch. And I'm a little bummed. I got news yesterday that Bosch, you know, his newest show on FreeVee, the Bosch legacy, that we got season three coming up, which I think is going to premiere the beginning of next year. I think March 2025 is what they said. episodes. That's going to be it.

Bosch Legacy is the end of the Bosch series as part of Amazon Cut the Cord on Bosch Legacy, which is weird because they're doing a spinoff from the guy who wrote the books. He wrote some other books about this other detective, which

has Harry Bosch show up in the books. So we're not going to have Bosch or Bosch Legacy, but the Renee Ballard spin-off series, is coming and Bosch is in those series so we'll get a little bit of that Titus Welliver was on some some podcast and talked about how he was you know it was uh it was it was the plug was pulled and

he was hoping that it wouldn't be and so he's coming 10 years uh wow i mean and coming up on 11 if we get to do it again i mean that's that's incredible and the series the the the regular series on Bosch, the seven seasons or whatever, it is really good. And Titus, I mean, he has, you know, been on so many shows and so many, he's such a great, I love his work. And, you know, he's funny that he was on some podcast that I've never heard of. You can come on this show, Titus, anytime. Love to talk to you.

But, you know, you do whatever, you do you, Titus, you do you. Okay, this story has kind of bugged me, and I'm going to tell it to you. and I'm going to try to get my way through it because it's kind of bugged me. So the story is this California resident who began to question the price of his electricity bill has now realized that for up to about 18 years now, he has been paying for his neighbor's electricity. Okay. Now, I was thinking originally that he was paying for his electricity and his neighbor's electricity.

No, that's not the case. What he was doing is his electric bill was his neighbor's electric bill, and I guess his neighbor was paying for his electric bill or someone was or no one was. I don't know. I don't know. If you were the neighbor and you ended up not paying, it doesn't say, it doesn't say that the neighbor was questioned about, hey, did you realize that you were paying the wrong power bill?

So I don't know if the neighbor was paying the bill at all. It's funny that should be part of the story. Another thing that kind of bugs me about this. So then the guy decided that he saw his power bill going up. And maybe the power bill was going up because the neighbor realized he's not paying for power. He could just do whatever the hell he wants. I don't know. It doesn't say that.

It would be a good investigative story for this news outlet in California. But, you know, whatever, they didn't ask me. So this guy realizes, hey, I'm paying more for my power. I need to start doing something about it. And so he buys some power testers and he, you know, shows what machines are being used. You know, yeah, the power, how much power is being used, that kind of thing. And then he said when he would leave to go to work, he would turn the breakers off. And then he would go to the power of the meter, and the meter would still be running for his apartment.

And so he knew that that was an issue. So here's where my question is. did he notice that the meter that one of the other meters that were there was a it was an apartment complex but the picture they showed only had about i don't know six or seven meters there so it was a building of you know six to maybe ten apartments so all the meters were together did you look at the other meters to see if any of them were stopped uh it doesn't say that in the story again uh you know what do i know nothing but so then he called the power company and the power company came out and said oh you know what you've been you've been paying uh you've been paying that

apartment's power bill so i don't know again there was no there was no nothing in the story about the other neighbor did the guy that he was paying the power bill for was that guy paying his bill or was he not paying for power at all i'm guessing that that guy was paying his bill because the power company PG and E has since I guess made the complex right with these you know with the meters and what meter is showing for what particular apartment but they said that he was credited over $600 to his account now that's not much 18 years 18 years of paying someone else's power and 600 bucks is your credit so that makes me think that perhaps he the neighbor was paying They were just paying for each other's power.

I don't know that. Honestly, I don't. It doesn't say. It would be a follow-up to the story. I just find it strange because at one point in my life, you know, we had a power issue at my house. My neighbor was so pissed at me. So we had a power issue at my house. And I had the company come out of the power company, Florida Power at the time.

And, you know, we were out of power. And I was like, hey, we know, you know, I need the power. It had bills. So they hooked up some new wiring and they ran it to my neighbor's house. and as they ran it to my neighbor's house, they went over to his meter and they said, oh, this is an old, this is an old hook.

You know, when they read the meters or have to check the meters, they put a tag on it so that it can't be opened and then they can verify that when it's opened again by one of their professionals. Well, they realized, hey, that's an old tag.

And so they took it off and they just, you know, put a new tag on when they hooked me up. Well, come to find out, my neighbor had been screwing the power company, which, you know, I'm a little pissed that he didn't let me in on the deal. But he had that old hook, so he could unhook it and then turn his power, turn the meter back. So, damn criminal. And, you know, so when they read the meter, it was obviously less power than he was actually using. but it was the old

you know the old hook piece so that he was able to do it and they couldn't tell but when they switched when they ran hooked up by power to his house for a couple of days they realized that it was the old hook and they replaced it he was like dude

what are you doing I will say I love my old neighbor for that because he didn't say anything he just did it and that way nobody knew but in the end he ended up and he ended up fine because they just thought oh hey they've got

on an old hook on that, we need to replace that. They didn't even think that, you know, was being used for nefarious purposes. It's hockey season, and you can get anything you need delivered with Uber Eats. Well, almost, almost anything. So, no, you can't get a nice

Okay, so this whole, this is another story that's just kind of weird to me. All right? So there's a high school who's now banned parents from wearing pink wristbands with XX written on them in New Hampshire. So parents of students at this Bo High School complained to the school's athletic director, after they were told their girls' soccer team would play against an opponent with a biological male on its team. Officials told the parents nothing could be done to prevent it

because of a ruling by a federal judge. And so the parents decided to show their support for the biological females by wearing pink wristbands with XX on them to the game between Bow High School and Plymouth Regional High School. School officials responded by stopping the game, demanding the parents take off the wristbands,

and having police issued no trespass orders against the parents. So one of the orders saying my daughter's playing in the homecoming game this weekend, and I'm banned until the 23rd. I can't watch her play in the homecoming, which is ridiculous. The order said he was banned from all school property, including athletic events on or off the school grounds, because the wristbands were against school policy. Okay, so let's stop for a moment.

All right. So, first of all, I don't think the school can do that, but that's a whole other story. All right. So they weren't being boisterous or loud or blocking the game. They were wearing a wristband. So how about the school back off? Now, let's pause for another moment. Okay.

The dad says, we simply want to prevent injuries to our daughter and other athletes from competing against biological males. Well, here's an idea. don't let your daughter play in the games i'm confused if you actually cared about your daughter's health you would have her not play in those games how about you there is a way for you to protest and not wear your xx wristband which is horrific i'm told now how about you say no our daughters aren't playing in the game how about that showing your protest to bow high school then they have to make a decision i realize school policy uh school policy you don't have to wear or you can't wear those wristbands and there's nothing we could do about the guy playing on the soccer

team because that's the way that's was ordered that's against uh that's the what has to happen oh okay well then uh my daughter uh is not going to play in the game i know she really loves to play and uh she will play in the next game uh where there's playing just girls uh all girls in the in the in the contest or if you think that uh then she can't play on your team so be it but she's not going to play my protest is my daughter is not going to play on your stupid team when they play male counterparts period but apparently you don't care enough for that you just care that you're pissed because you can't wear your bracelet and now you can't see your daughter play in a game where you said the one game you were worried about her health i don't

Again, I know, it's just me. It's just me. Another thing that's just me, I got lost this morning in this website from, it's called putting dot cool, putting dot cool. And it's, they've documented, taken satellite photos of what they claim is every basketball court in the USA. On this website, it says that there are 59,507 outdoor courts in America. So, I mean, maybe there's more, but they have pictures, satellite photos of 59,5007 outdoor basketball courts in America. And I just got, I just clicked on it and, you know, you just zoom in, and you're somewhere in, so let's begin exploring again, shall we?

on the pudding. Let's zoom in and see what comes up first. Westport, Connecticut, Greenwich, Connecticut. Then we zoom back out and we'll focus on this. We'll just put our cursor on this and we'll go to Hayden, Idaho. It's just satellite photos. Makes you a little nervous. I know, there's satellite photos. We're not, we're not, there's no way we can hide from the new world. The new world is there. So we have, I mean, we have eight billion satellites. It's orbiting the globe. And so there's, really, there's Oakland, Illinois. There's an outdoor basketball court right there in Oakland, Illinois.

And there's one in Dundee Township, Illinois. Arlington, zoom back out. And we'll go down here because I can't really tell where I'm at exactly. But that's Kentucky. And then you come down, okay, oh, easy, easy. I don't want to go that small. Where are we at? Okay, that's Maryland.

All right, where's Michigan? Let's see. Where I've got to be Michigan? It's got to be down in this way, right? Let's look at this. Where are you close to Michigan? there we are. There's a Michigan. Elkhona Township, Michigan.

Kalamazoo, Michigan. All right, let's scroll up a little bit. Riverview, Michigan. If we have any in Saginaw, Michigan. There's plenty of basketball courts in every city in America. What are we even doing? So anyway, I got... If you want to lose some time with your life,

go to putting. Dot Cool slash 2024 slash 09 courts and you'll be able to find every outdoor basketball court in America according to this website

which is 59,507 and I have not looked at everyone yet so I've looked at an awful lot of them and I know it's just, again, I know it's just me but I got lost in looking at outdoor basketball courts from satellite photos

and so wasted a lot of time this morning doing that. Okay, let's get out of here. Let's do the joke of the day. I got plenty of jokes of the day sent to me at Chewing the Fat at DeBlaze.com. Thank you. Keep them coming. I appreciate them. I laughed. There were a couple that were really big guy jokes. And while I appreciate them, I don't know that I want to share them with the audience. Because they were definitely big guy jokes. Like my man, Braden sent me one and I replied to Braden saying, you know, Funny, probably won't use it on the air.

So he tried again. And I thought, okay, well, I'll use that one. And his reply was, that's fair. Here's another. So this is from Braden, sent to chewing the fat at the blaze.com.
