Revolutionize your diet and change your health - with Momma B's down-home - but better - way to cook! When Jared Blinsky's dad was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic, Mrs. Blinsky refused to accept it. She did her research, applied her legendary culinary skills - and got cooking. What happened next? Three months after eating Momma B's new way of cooking everyday, Mr. B shocked his doctor by dropping his A1C from 6+ to 4.7, and no longer needed diabetes medication. In less than a year, he dropped 40 pounds - and went from a 38 to a 32 inch waist. When asked by his doctor what he was doing, he replied, "I just eat what my wife puts on the table." Find out how to work the Momma B magic in your own kitchen! Get great recipe tips and tricks - and find out why this way of eating works. Is sugar more addictive than heroin? Why is there so much obesity and diabetes? "Just with changing their diet, people can reverse diabetes." "You get the 6-pack in the kitchen, not the gym." The guys do a weigh-in, start their own weight-loss challenge, and embrace some Momma B wisdom: "It's better to do it now, instead of when you have to do it." More to come with Momma B! Questions?

"The question becomes...are we using governmental power to force certain citizens to believe or think a certain way? I think that's impossible. I think not only is it impossible... it's unconstitutional." How much power do you want the government to have? We all believe in free speech, don't we? Free speech is core to the American value system and of course the Bill of Rights. But what about when what is being said seems anti-American, morally repugnant - or just plain disgusting? Should there be limits? And who decides? www.ohiolegaldefense.com [email protected]

When and where does "Stand Your Ground" apply? What are the factors that define self-defense? Can punching someone be legally considered deadly force?

The Pike County massacre, the execution-style murder of 8 members of the Rhoden family in 2016, rocked this rural southeast Ohio community and made national headlines.

Who are you? Who were you before? Who will you become? Before Agent X, before the Nemesis, Jared Blinsky was so moved by the events of 9/11 that in 2002 he created the annual Ride for Pride that has been taking place in central Ohio ever since. It's primary purpose was to honor the men and women who served our country, and it peacefully brought together very diverse groups of bikers, including the Axemen, the Gunslingers, the Outlaws and B.A.C.A.. The ride grew each year to create the Ohio Fallen Heroes Memorial in Sunbury, Ohio, honoring all Ohio military killed in the war on terrorism. Fast-forward to 2009 when Jared has been caught as "the ringleader" of an extensive local grow operation and has pled guilty to charges that carry a minimum 5-years federal prison sentence. Will the judge be motivated to override the mandatory minimum? Wait til you hear the rest of the story...

In this eighth episode of The Blinsky Chronicles, Jared talks with the guys about brown paper bag socks, going from being the tough guy to asking God to walk with him for whatever came next, and the day he met Steve Palmer in person for the first time - and Steve's surprising advice to Jared.

Are portable breath tests (PBTs) reliable? When are they used? Can you just say "no thank you" to one?

Hey Kids! More fun with SFSTs! Are you down with the OLS? Listen as 'Officer Jeff' tests Jared by the book - as in, the actual manual that law enforcement uses when they pull someone over in a traffic stop.

Steve, Jeff and Jared also talk Dirtbag Mondays, flossing, Steve Martin and "The Man with Two Brains", riding on your rims, swaying, raising arms for balance, the "acceleration clause" and other cool dance moves, and the Smartie defense.
