For nearly 20 years NASA’s JPL Center for NEO Studies has been tracking near-Earth objects that whizz past our planet. The JPL Center continually monitors space for asteroids that could hit Earth and have the potential to be planet-killers. In the past two decades, NASA has never seen an Earth-buzzing object as massive as what’s flying by on September 1. On that day, a 3-mile-wide asteroid named Florence will be 4.4 million miles from Earth, or about 18 times the average Earth-Moon distance. Many asteroids have come closer, but they were much smaller than Florence. It will be close enough that it will be easily visible using a small telescope.

“While many known asteroids have passed by closer to Earth than Florence will on September 1, all of those were estimated to be smaller,” says Paul Chodas, manager of NASA’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS). “Florence is the largest asteroid to pass by our planet this close since the NASA program to detect and track near-Earth asteroids began.”

Florence is the largest asteroid to pass this close to our planet since the first near-Earth asteroid was discovered over 100 years ago. Asteroid Florence was discovered in 1981 and named in honor of Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. Astronomers will use the near flyby to study Florence and take high-resolution photos to reveal what the surface of the asteroid is like. Florence is technically 2.7-miles-wide, but any object that is larger than 0.6 miles has the capability to end all life on Earth as we know it. NASA says Florence poses no threat to Earth for the next 500 years.

The next asteroid flyby after Florence comes in October when asteroid 2012 TC4 comes a little too close for comfort at a distance of 31,130 miles, but thankfully this rock is only 49-feet-wide.

Last Summer was a strange time for Kanye West and Kid Cudi. There was a time when the two men were as tight as brothers, but then Cudi left Kanye’s label and the two started beefing on Twitter/Social Media late last Summer.

Cudi went on a Twitter rant calling out Kanye for having 30 people write songs on ‘The Life of Pablo’. Kanye responded with a scathing rebuke of Cudi, saying “Don’t you ever mention ‘Ye name, I birthed you” amongst other things. Kid Cudi later checked himself into rehab for suicidal urges and depression. At some point, Kanye was also hospitalized for a nervous breakdown. Those two went through some shit last year, that’s for sure.

Now, Page Six is reporting that Kanye is holed up in the recording studio with his former protege Kid Cudi and the two are working on a secret project that they’re expected to drop out of the blue:

“they’re going to drop some crazy collaboration out of the blue,” an insider told us. “They’re going to drop some surprise project on everybody. They’re recording it now.”
They’re keeping the lid so tight that “nobody knows what it is — or what it sounds like . . . There are no professionals in the room. It’s just Cudi, Kanye and an engineer. They’re recording together in Japan.” (via)

Kanye was reportedly working at a recording studio somewhere in the mountains of Montana back in May to rediscover his ‘creative groove’. He’s also been spotted hitting the studio with Atlanta-based rappers Migos…And now this.

It sounds to me like 2018 is set to be the Year of Kanye if this timeline holds up, right? (h/t PageSix)

Adam Richman is a pretty good homie of ours here at BroBible. We love his stories from Man vs. Food, one of the best travel channel shows of all time. Last year we had him swing by the office to discuss his favorite pizza places and, damn, does that dude know a couple things about delicious ‘za.

Richman hit up the Hot Ones studio to discuss his career while crushing some of the hottest wings on the planet. He’s Adam Richman, so he’s a total champ about it, but still — The challenge opens that salvo and causes him to sweat like a fiend.

Here’s Adam’s ranking of all-time great pizza places:

Speaking of NFL linemen that we love, Cleveland Browns Pro Bowler Joe Thomas is another one that is most definitely on that list. Between his A+ reaction to that whole United Airlines debacle awhile back to his honest assessment of why Johnny Manziel flopped, Thomas is one of the most interesting and enjoyable guys in the NFL.

It has been said in the past that offensive linemen are probably the smartest guys on the field. However, the test that Joe Thomas had to take this week, naming all 18 Browns quarterbacks he has had to protect in his long and storied career was most definitely a tough one.

We’ve all by now become very familiar with the infamous Cleveland Browns quarterback jerseys…

So you can imagine that naming all 18 off the top of your head, even if you played with them would be difficult. Let’s see how well he does…

Nicely done, Mr. Thomas. That was very impressive.

Now let’s just hope that this year’s crop of Browns QBs doesn’t drive you to drink like it already has your head coach Hue Jackson.

Then again, there is still always this option…

(*For everyone that isn’t a Cleveland Browns fan.)

If you were to ask me what the most popular brands in Pop Music are, without looking at the chart below I’d have probably said Jordan, Adidas, Ferrari, Bacardi, and a handful of others. I would’ve been pretty f’n wrong. Under no circumstances would I have guessed that Rolls Royce is the #1 brand in Pop Music, but it is.

Kim Bhasin and Lance Lambert of Bloomberg analyzed all of the Billboard Top 20 songs from May 2014 to May 2017 for brand mentions. What they found was Rolls Royce reigned supreme with 11 shout-outs. Here’s what the rest of the data looked like:

Via Bloomberg

8 of the top 12 are cars/auto brands, and one of them is an anxiety drug. Across the 280 songs they reviewed from May 2014 to May 2017, there were 212 different brands who received mentions and it was cars and fashion which accounted for the vast majority of those mentions.

The brand mentions in pop music these days doesn’t seem nearly as invasive as it did from like 1998 to 2008. There was a time when I stopped listening to the radio entirely because it felt like everything was a fucking ad. The music was all pumping brands non-stop and then you’d be forced to listen to ads in between the ads, and that shit would never end. Like I said, it’s gotten a lot better these days but as you can see from the chart above Pop Music is still full of brand shout-outs.

It’s Bring Your Own Cup Day, a national celebration of artificial flavoring, high-fructose corn syrup, and loss leaders made possible by the generous folks at 7-Eleven. For $1.50, you can walk into any participating location on August 18th and 19th with essentially any container in tow and fill it to the brim with whatever flavor Slurpee your heart desires.

If you’re looking to participate this year, it’s worth noting there are a few rules. The first— and most important— is that your “cup” has to be able to fit through a 10-inch wide hole in a cardboard cutout placed inside each 7-Eleven. We’re under the impression any inflatable pool you might bring must be filled with air before you attempt to pass the test.

While most 7-Eleven locations are open 24 hours a day, you can only fill your own cup from 11 AM to 7 PM. It should go without saying that all vessels must be watertight and safe for food, but there have apparently been instances in the past that made it necessary to make that an explicit stipulation. You can also only bring one cup per person, so follow the example of Indiana Jones in The Last Crusade and choose wisely.

Here are some of the best examples from this year and beyond.

Via Wellness Ted Instagram

You’ve seen the fitness/motivational/healthy-eating Instagram accounts by women. They’re inundated with photos of bright Lululemon workout outfits, acai bowls, painful-looking yoga poses, and graphics of inspirational quotes. It’s one thing to check your Instagram and occasionally be transported to this foreign world, but imagine having to take all of those photos? That is the duty of Edward Lane, who generously snaps photos of his girlfriend’s healthy lifestyle for her inspiring Instagram. After taking many photos for her account, he decided to give it a whirl. But instead of Fit Tea advertisements, kombucha, and avocado smoothies, our friend Edward here features booze, chicken nuggets, cheeseburgers, and marker-drawn abs in his inspiring Instagram photos.

“Literally hundreds of people were double-tapping a picture of my girlfriend eating salad – it made absolutely no sense to me. But most of all it cracked me up,” Lane said.

Edward, who spent 18 months behind the camera as “Chief Photographer or Despondent Instagram Husband” to his girlfriend Amy Hopkinson, dispenses unique workout regimens.

But Ed doesn’t just offer inspiration, he provides important diet ideas and meal-planning for those serious about living healthy, but also love chicken nuggs and cheeseburgers.

He offers a refreshing take on avocado toast, a staple of the healthy-living lifestyle.

There’s also words of wisdom.

Want to be able to hit 490-yard drives off the tee? Want to have people stop traffic just to get a selfie with you? Want to become the highest paid actor in the world? Yeah, none of that is going to happen.

However, if you want to hit the gym and listen to some of the same music that motivates a guy who actually did accomplish all of those things listed above, Dwayne “The Rock Johnson, then today is your lucky day!

While we may not ever be able to pull off the same insane workout routine as The Rock, at least now we can jam out to the same tunes, so it’s almost like we’re actually him, right? Definitely.

Here’s the playlist DJ dropped on his Instagram account earlier today…

— STRAIGHT OUT THE GATE – Tech9ne
— SMOKIN’ – Boston
— BOYZ IN THE HOOD – NWA
— LAST ONE STANDING – Mayday
— SOUL MAN – Blues Brothers
— BLACK SKINHEAD – Kanye West
— ONE BURBON, ONE SCOTCH, ONE BEER – George Thoroughgood
— ROCKY MOUNTAIN WAY – Joe Walsh
— DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS – Disturbed
— RUNAWAY BABY – Bruno Mars
— YOU NEVER MET A MOTHERF*CKER QUITE LIKE ME – Kid Rock

He even made an actual playlist on iTunes too, but just in case you’re an Android person, I too gathered them all up for you below…

During this week’s media conference call, Floyd Mayweather gave us his thoughts on the whole Paulie Malignaggi-Conor McGregor sparring video debacle. According to Floyd, he feels that McGregor was “extremely dirty” from what he saw in the UFC star’s sparring session with Malignaggi.

“A lot of shots were illegal,” “Lots of grappling and illegal punching behind the head.”He had Joe Cortez in his camp but I still saw him being extremely dirty. My job is not to worry about the referee but to let the referee do his job.”

McGregor might want to clean things up because if he gets caught doing anything too dirty during his fight against Mayweather he could lose up to 90 percent of his purse.

LG

Usually, the discussion about the best phone on the market revolves around two companies: Apple and Samsung. But the rest of the pack is catching up. Google’s Pixel was a giant success and phone manufacturers from China, such as Huawei, have made great strides in recent years. LG made a great phone with the G6 when it debuted in March of this year. But is the South Korean tech company’s newest flagship phone, the LG V30, ready to play with the big boys like Apple and Samsung? They just might be.

The upcoming LG V30 will sport dual rear cameras as its predecessor, the LG V20 did. However, the V30 will improve upon the camera’s abilities by upgrading to a f/1.6 glass lens, delivering much more light into dark photos than the V20’s f/1.9 aperture. The ability of low-light shooting and addition of a glass lens will instantly improve the V30’s camera, a department that the V20 was lacking.

The LG V30 will have a 6-inch curved, edge-to-edge OLED display and will be the first-ever device to feature a plastic OLED FullVision display, which is said to be stronger than the typical glass base. The plastic is then covered by Gorilla Glass. The smaller bezels allow for a larger screen without having a larger phone. The display will boast 4.15 million pixels for a 1440 x 2880 resolution OLED screen. The smartphone offers a fingerprint sensor in the rear of the phone without being right next to the camera.

The phone is expected to have a Snapdragon 835 processor, 3,300mAh battery, and USB-C port. LG’s most recent handsets have featured a second screen, but that will be replaced in the V30 with a “floating bar” that allows for quick access to shortcuts and notifications. The new LG V30 will make its debut on August 31st at the IFA 2017 tech show in Berlin, begin taking preorders on September 17, and then ship the handsets on September 28.

Alright, bros, it’s time again for the weekly ‘Things We Want’ feature. It’s a collection of the hottest gear I’ve come across this week. Ranging from items I desperately want in my life to things I’ll never be able to afford, I try and include a cross section of everything here in the ‘Things We Want‘ roundup. If you know of a product that you think should be featured in my weekly Gear Guide then feel free to hit me up via email at cass@brobible.com.

The Minimalist Luminous Swiss Watch From Braithwait — Save Big Thanks To The Eclipse

I’ve featured Braithwait Swiss watches here in the past in the Things We Want column because they’re the most transparent Swiss watch maker around, meaning they don’t jack up the price with a bunch of things hidden below the surface. Monday is the total solar eclipse here in America, and they’ll be running a very timely deal on the Minimalist Luminous timepiece:

“Beginning at 9AM ET on eclipse day, customers will be able to access exclusive pricing for the Minimalist Luminous via the BRATHWAIT website. Tracing the path of totality, the percentage savings will increase by 10% every two hours as the eclipse passes over the continental United States — building from 10% off to a max of 30% off by the time the eclipse reaches South Carolina.”

So, if you want to save 30% on this watch thanks to the first total solar eclipse in decades just follow that link!

Phiaton BT 390 Wireless Headphones (Comes In Black Or White)

I had the chance to test out the Phiaton BT 390 wireless Bluetooth headphones this week and I’ll tell you bros that I was blown away. Something that stuck out the most to me about these headphones is how the sound quality seemed to be optimal at extreme (high and low) volumes. I threw on ‘Rap Caviar’ on Spotify and tested these headphones out for several hours and I definitely think these are worth way more than the $79 sticker price on Amazon. The Bluetooth 4.1 leads to enhanced battery life and sound quality. The battery lasts up to 30 hours on continuous play, and there’s a cable which allows you ot use the headphones by plugging directly into the headphone jack even after the battery has run out. These are legit, and if you need some new headphones (or know someone who does) you should click that link below.

Tevas Sandals — They’re Back

I was eight years old when I owned my first pair of Tevas in the 90s. I got them at K-Mart in the summer and there were little red lizards woven into the straps. They lasted an entire summer, being the best shoe ever for wading in the freestone mountain creek near my parent’s house, walking over rocks to catch minnows and crayfish. My Jesus-walkers had to be retired after my next growth spurt.

A staple of us Phish-loving, weekend-warrior granola types in the ’90s, Tevas have quietly made a cool comeback over the past couple years. They’re *still* the summer sandal of choice for people who need to get their feet wet when kayaking, tubing, rafting, whatever… And their designs are radder than ever. The Teva Universal Sandal has a plethora of colorways and The Sanborn is the most comfortable open-toed shoe you’ll ever wear. The Terra Float, pictured above, is the ultimate fast-drying river shoe.

Suck it, elitist fashion snobs: Tevas are cool again. Welcome to the greatest era of human footwear history. — @brandonwenerd

This Cold Brew Coffee Maker Is The Best Thing I’ve Bought Myself All Summer

This BPA-free, dishwasher safe plastic pitcher has a built-in infuser. You pour the coffee grounds into the infuser, drop it into the water, let it sit overnight (8 to 36 hours), and you’ve got delicious cold brew coffee waiting for you. I prefer to add a healthy dose of cinnamon into the middle of the coffee grounds, and I use the Starbucks Morning Blend which I buy in bulk online.

The Takeya Cold Brew Iced Coffee Maker only costs $19. You can make the cold brew coffee overnight and then remove the infuser, or you can purchase the set of two pitchers and transfer the coffee into the empty pitcher. I prefer this (this is the setup I purchased) because it enables me to always be making more cold brew coffee. I drink several cups a day and I’ve yet to run out because I always have one pitcher that I’m drinking cold brew out of and another pitcher that is brewing up delicious coffee.

With the summer days dwindling down it’s natural to want the nights to last forever (or at least until you pass out.) But let’s be honest, your backyard is straight boring. It needs fire.

Check out this Roman fire pit that’s sure to turn your patio into a party zone (or at least a S’more making area).

This unique fire pit features a 35″ diameter high temp antique bronze painted steel fire bowl with hammered lip and brushed painted steel legs. The Roman Fire Pit comes complete with a one piece mesh fire screen with high-temperature paint, ensuring that your flames are kept contained while enjoying the blazing warmth.

We’ve seen a lot of sick celebrity homes over the years. Heck, we just saw a mansion that Eminem put on the market recently that we’d move into tomorrow if we could. We’ve also seen ridiculous homes put on the market by Mel Gibson, Scottie Pippen and Adrian Peterson as well as the current estates of people like Rickie Fowler, Bryce Harper, Jameis Winston, and many others.

Now we can add a Mediterranean-inspired villa owned by Golden State Warriors star Steph Curry that he is currently trying to unload for $3.195 million after he found no takers at his initial asking price of $3.6 million.

According to Zillow…

The sprawling 7,520-square-foot estate received updates in 2015, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms. You’ll enjoy a state-of-the-art La Cornue appliances in the kitchen, and a BainUltra therapeutic tub now accompanies the steam shower in the master bath.

All five of the bedrooms in the main house provide access to the wraparound terraces, where views of Mt. Diablo can be found. And while you’re entertaining on the terrace, a Control4 smart system allows you to adjust music, monitor the alarm system, view the security cameras and turn lights on and off.

In addition to the 5-bed, 6-bath main house, the estate includes a guesthouse, a double deep 3-car garage, and a nearly 1-acre lot.

Yeah, I think I could live there. Especially after seeing some of these pics of the pad taken by OpenHomesPhotography.com, courtesy of Caldecott Properties.

The Yankees and Mets battled for bragging rights of New York as they squared up for their Subway Series battle. The Bronx Bombers swept the four-game series this week that was capped off with a 7-5 win at Citi Field on Thursday night. This was just the second time since interleague play began in 1997 that the Yankees swept a season series against the Mets, the last coming in 2003.

The social media accounts for the Yankees took a mighty jab at their cross-town rivals and reminded the Mets who is the king of New York with a Game of Thrones-themed insult. In just three words and a crown emoji, the Yankees’ Twitter account destroyed the Mets. Bend. The. Knee.

The Yankees are happy to be back as the king of New York.

Once again the internet thinks it has found another celebrity doppelganger. We’ve been through this drill many times before with Scarlett Johansson, Chloe Mortez, Adam Sandler, Angelina Jolie and so on.

This time around it’s a 22-year-old from Mexico named Sofia Solares who looks very similar to one Selena Gomez. Guess what? She also happens to be a big fan of the singer/actress too.

“Yes, I love Selena Gomez and I declare myself a fan of hers and of course it would be a dream to know that she is aware of my existence,” Sofia told E! News exclusively (in quotes translated from Spanish). “If she were to take a few minutes to write something to me—I would cry of happiness!”

Solares isn’t one of those weirdos who because she kind of looks like a celebrity wants to go around impersonating them all the time.

“Honestly, with time I’ve already gotten used to people saying, ‘You look like Selena Gomez,’ wherever I’ve been…It’s not something that I dislike, but I like it better when they love me for being myself,” she explained.

“There are occasions where she can put something on or change her look etc. and when I like something I wear it or I’ll do it because it truly inspires me, but I always try to stay true to myself,” Sofia continued. “I mean, it’s great that I look like her, but I don’t want to lose myself trying to be someone that I’m not!”

Solid move.

It’s Friday afternoon and as we head into the weekend I want to leave you bros with a banger. Yesterday, I wrote about this heavy metal cover of ‘Despacito’ by Leo Moracchioli that’s still stuck in my head over 24 hours later. If you haven’t listened to the Heavy Metal cover of ‘Despacito’ yet you need to click that link.

Ever since I listened to that track yesterday I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of Heavy Metal covers on YouTube. Somewhere along the way, I subscribed to the Frog Leap Studios YouTube channel that posted yesterday’s video and now I’ve got this new song stuck in my head. Leo Moracchioli is back today with Rabea & Hannah to perform ‘Africa’ by Toto, a song I hear way too fucking often.

There’s some sort of iPhone glitch that starts playing the music on your phone alphabetically when you plug it into my car. So every time I flip over to Bluetooth in my car ‘Africa’ by Toto starts playing because of the goddamn alphabet. I didn’t even know I had this song on my iPhone until I discovered this obnoxious glitch and now I get pissed off every time I hear ‘Africa’ by Toto start playing….What’s the point of all this? I’m thinking about saving this Heavy Metal cover of ‘Africa’ by Toto on my phone just so I stop hearing the same version song over and over and over and over…Any of you bros out there have this problem too?

Kevin Durant has been on fire over on his Twitter account since winning his first NBA Championship. He’s always been an, uh, interesting follow on the social media platform, but since winning that title he’s taken it to new levels.

Durant has gotten into a Twitter fight with a guy who named his dog after him. He spent hours tweeting back and forth with a bunch of trolls and haters. And has even just spent time talking basketball with random fans.

Today, however, Durant took to Twitter to express his displeasure with a story on SB Nation in which a teacher (jokingly, in my opinion) negatively compared KD to The GOAT Michael Jordan.

It reads…

DON’T BE A…Kevin Durant

KD left the OKC Thunder last summer after falling to the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. Following the end of the season, he decided it was in his best interest to join the very same team that had just knocked him out of the playoffs. Don’t be like KD. Don’t take the easy way out. Things like cheating, plagiarizing, and copying your friends homework may not seem like a big deal now but they are building habits that can significantly hinder you later in life. Additionally, always strive to finish what you’ve started. Half-finished homework is unfinished homework. Don’t try to turn in an assignment if you have not done what is necessary and expected.

DO BE A…Michael Jordan

MJ! The GOAT! 6 championships. 4 MVPs. Yadda yadda. The greatest thing this man ever did? Saving the Looney Tunes from a lifetime of servitude to an alien race. Did MJ take the easy way out? Did he ever back down from a challenge? NO! Be like Mike. Learning a new language is a challenging thing and parts of this year are going to be

Then it gets cut off, but the message is pretty clear by that point. And funny.

Well, at least I thought it was funny. Kevin Durant? Not so much.

Whoever did this should be fired and thrown in jail? I hope he was kidding. If not, Twitter user @@AaronD30_ sums this up best…
