Yes, you can't hear me. You don't know what I'm saying. Happy Wednesday, everybody. Happy Wednesday or, as I like to call it at our house, hump day. The wife makes amazing camel burgers. All right, settle down. So here's some news that will make you spit your oat milk latte all over an orphans face. 

Did you know that muscular, strong and strapping men are perceived as more conservative than wimpy, scrawny, skinny dudes? Oh, you do, huh? Show's over. Got to go. True, true. It seems that this appears to be more manly than this. What? No wonder he's out of work. And it's even before I open this beautiful mouth. Well, now American researchers are confirming what we suspected, that muscular physiques go hand in hand with conservatism. And if you're puny, well, you're likely also a progressive ****. Terrible language, but it makes sense.

PENCE KEEPS DISTANCE FROM REPUBLICANS AIMING TO BOOT TRUMP FROM BALLOT

Check out how left wing these dudes are, right? Huh? Anyway, that's probably a mistaken photo. U.S. study participants were asked to assess the political orientation of men who varied in strength and muscle, while also considering various facets of what constitutes conservatism and strong men appeared more conservative than weaker ones. Meanwhile, the buff, broad shouldered men are only seen as liberal, they're only seen as liberal when they're changing in a women's locker room. Not only that, the perception that muscles equal conservative was observed regardless of whether the beliefs were related to societal issues or economics. And it makes sense when you consider what it takes to get those muscles. Discipline, hard work, delayed gratification, extra protein, all values that would make a gender studies major report a hate crime. But, you know, doesn't it make sense? 

Conservatism is based on incentives. Do this, get that. Liberalism is the opposite. Don't do anything, it's okay, we got you. So the left rewards bad behavior and the right rewards good behavior, which is otherwise known as effort. This is why everyone in Antifa looks like a pile of ****. Let's kick them. Their idea of fitness is having a piercing that's only mildly infected with hepatitis. The study also found that people believe strong men value their personal liberties more than weaker dudes should. But what does this mean for the rest of us? Like, say, conservative liberty minded dudes who aren't as muscular as they would like to be. 

You know, Jesse's about as conservative as they get, but the only lifting he does is a hairbrush, 500 reps each arm three times a day, yet he's got the upper body strength of Kat Timpf or what about fan favorite comedian Joe Machi over here? Look at that. What a bundle of animal flesh. Crawl all over him. But do people unfairly think he's a liberal weakling because he has the face of your aunt that never got married and had 14 cats? 

TYRUS: Thanks for coming on, Joe.

It's said every time he goes for a walk in NYC he ends up upside down with his legs sticking out of the top of a trash can. People don't think he looks like a liberal, they just think he looks like a lesbian.

IT'S TRUMP'S RACE TO LOSE FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS AHEAD OF THE FIRST VOTES IN THE GOP NOMINATION BATTLE

JOE MACHI: Oh wow.

TYRUS: Thanks for coming on.

Yeah, you should have seen the ones I cut, really bad. But of course, there's Tyrus. He could kick the crap out of the GOP elephant himself. Is there any question how he and his 38-inch neck votes?

TYRUS: Nope, thanks, mom.

Yeah. Then there's Kat. True, her arms are mistaken for wishbones, but she's as wiry is a short haired terrier tangled up in a ball of yarn. The point is, there are exceptions. Just look at Chris Cuomo, if you can find him. His new show airs at midnight on the closed circuit TV of a 7-Eleven in Queens. Now, he's not conservative by any stretch, but check him out. He built those muscles and he built them through resistance training, mostly from women trying to resist his advances. I'm kidding. I'm not. So even though participants in the study all equated muscular physiques with strong conservative values, it's not always the case, right? But at least in the eyes of many, it is. So it's like my uncle always told me, "You can judge a book by its cover." Well, unless it's written by Brian Kilmeade. Nerd. No, I don't either. This woman…

PENCE, RAMASWAMY, CROSS PATHS BUT DON'T TRADE FIRE AT SAME CAMPAIGN EVENT IN KEY PRIMARY STATE

TYRUS: That's my mom.

I know, but look, I know that generalizations like this suck, and it's been my motto that one must favor individuals over groups. But my impression of the truly fit is that they're either apolitical or they are right wing. They're never outspoken leftists. So why can't people apply the principles of fitness to other aspects of life if they know that it works? Muscles get better depending on what you put into them, but that also, it makes sense, would go for work, education, security, safety, the border, economics. So if you love the gym, you might try that mentality elsewhere because it's not shocking that a lot of people equate looking strong with behaving strong as well. 

So the next time you need someone with strong values and a strong jaw, pick a TV host who has broad shoulders and chiseled physiques that you need.

The debate about whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the greatest player in NBA history remains ongoing. The Chicago Bulls drafted Jordan the mid-1980s, and he went on to dominate in the '90s, winning all six of his NBA titles.

James was the top overall pick in 2003. The NBA in the 1990s was certainly different era, both on and off the basketball court. James' longtime friend and sports agent Rich Paul offered his thoughts on how the current basketball era has presented a tougher set of circumstances for the Lakers superstar.

Paul argued that today's new cycle was something Jordan did not have to contend with during his playing days.

"Mike transcended the game. When Kobe came, Kobe was a silhouette of Mike. That's everything, which is great. But LeBron is the first player to have to deal with a 24/7/365 news cycle of sports and opinions from those that's not even capable or carry the expertise to give a valid opinion," Paul said during an appearance on "Gils Arena Show."

Paul added that Jordan faced considerably less criticism during his career, saying the Bulls all-time great only had to deal with a critique from sports columnist Peter Vecsey.

LEBRON JAMES' SUPPOSED FRONT OFFICE INFLUENCE WOULD BE 'MADDENING' AS TEAMMATE, NBA LEGEND SAYS

"In addition to, 'I'm not really gonna do it how y'all want me to do. I'm probably going to decide how I wanna do it.' We all know that don't go over well, right? And so then, you have this environment in this sports society that's created and so now you have to root against. That's a whole other thing Mike never had to deal with because his hardest critic was probably, Peter Vecsey.

"I just think LeBron's antlers is in platinum, and Michael Jordan's may be in gold. Why? Because he had to be compared to Mike. Who did Mike have to be compared to?"

Jordan did have to deal with detractors during and after his playing career, but the advent of social media certainly ramped up the level of criticism athletes face.

As far as comparisons go, it can be argued that Jordan was compared to Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain and 11-time champion Bill Russell — all of whom entered the NBA prior to him. Shortly after Jordan and the Chicago Bulls began losing to the "Bad Boy" Pistons in the postseason, the idea that Jordan could not "win the big one" became a talking point.

Jordan was also criticized for what was widely viewed as a failed attempt to play professional baseball. Jordan was coming off three straight championships with the Bulls and was still in his prime, but in October 1993 he decided to switch sports.

What followed was a mostly forgettable stint with the Chicago White Sox's Double-A affiliate — the Birmingham Barons. 

It can be argued that James is the first NBA superstar that has had to deal with pros and cons that come with the social media era. While a sports column from Vecsey or others may not have received a boost from social media, it certainly had the power to shift the conversation during Jordan's playing days.

Comparing eras in sports can be tricky. It is likely that Jordan or James would have thrived on the basketball court in any era.
