BYB Express

It's Friday again and you know what that means - another BYB Express. Don't think of it as getting less blog. Just think of it getting more time to reflect on the NBA Finals.

F My Life Moment of the Day
Today, I was sitting at a red light when a homeless man began to walk up to my car. Hoping he wouldn't ask for money, I quickly grabbed my phone and mouthed words to look distracted. He then stopped and yelled, "Your gas cap is open, and you should probably roll up your window, asshole!" FML

That Weather Coverage Was Criminal



You can criticize this lady all you want for accousting this television station but don't expect me to join in. Weather interruptions piss me off something fierce, especially when I'm in the middle of one of my shows. Now I'm not a 'Criminal Minds' viewer but if it means half as much to her as 'Law & Order: SVU' means to me then this tirade was certainly reasonable.

2,000-calorie milkshake tops list of worst drinks

LOS ANGELES – A milkshake containing 2,010 calories -- equivalent to eating 68 strips of bacon or 30 chocolate chip cookies -- has topped a list of the 20 worst drinks in America compiled by Men's Health magazine.

The Cold Stone PB&C milkshake, made with peanut butter, chocolate icecream and milk, contains 68 grams of saturated fat and 153 grams of sugar, according to nutritional details on the company's website.

"In terms of saturated fat, drinking this Cold Stone catastrophe is like slurping up 68 strips of bacon," the magazine said.

The second worst drink in America was listed as the Peanut Power Plus Grape from Smoothie King with a large cup packing 1,498 calories and the same amount of sugar as 20 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups chocolate and peanut butter snacks.

McDonald's large Triple Thick Chocolate Shake came in third with 1,160 calories or the equivalent of 13 of the fast food chain's hot apple pies.

A spokesman from the Cold Stone Creamery pointed out that the company does also offer low-calorie, reduced-fat options for customers looking for "a lighter indulgence" such as its range of sinless smoothies with only 110 calories.

I don't think Coldstone should have to apologize or point out their lower calorie options just because they make an 2,100 calorie smoothie. Sure, the people woofing these things down might not know its quite that bad for them but I'm pretty sure when they taste a hearty mix of peanut butter, chocolate and sugar they don't think they're drinking a health shake. Sure, it might be nice if the tastiest things in the world weren't that bad for us. But they are and obviously there's still a market for it. So keep it up Coldstone. If America wants diabtetes, it's your job to give it to them.
