    Thoughts on the Nuclear Reactor on the Moon idea... as a proof of concept, first they should build a doughnut shop on the moon. Prove that you can safely-build a doughnut shop on the moon, and then I'll trust you with the nuclear reactor thing.

    The return of Don Gorske! Is he your hero? Does the name not ring a bell? He still might be your hero. We talked about Don Gorske before on this program. He is a fellow who holds the world record for Big Mac consumption. He first got the world record in 1999. He just goes to McDonald's every day and eats Big Macs. He's back in the news because the tally is now over 34,000 Big Macs in his lifetime. Quote in the story from Don is "Many people thought I'd be dead by now." He had his first Big Mac in 1972 you guys. Congratulations, Don.

    Dave Rush back in the news with another world record attempt. This latest record attempt seems like a world record you could do this weekend... You could get a couple of balloons and keep those balloons in the air over 14 minutes using only your head... the official record is "longest duration to keep 2 balloons in the air with the head." You've been training for this one since childhood. 14 minutes and change the current record... good luck!
