1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 13, 17, 20. I’ll take it, though very annoyed about 3.

(Should say I think about 1, not certain, but it has to be, doesn’t it?)

All but 3, 16 and 19. 3 is pissing me off.

Grunching, obviously… A couple guesses, a couple I know. My answers in spoilers, so you can all mock me for bad guesses.

I’m also very annoyed about 3, and extra annoyed o couldn’t come up with a 14 letter phrase involving Trump Rose Garden COVID-19 Bullshitathons.

Wait, I just did it! Bullshitathons!

1 - A mincer?
6 - Jeremy Lin
7 - y
8 - Granite?
10 - A golden fiddle, if I recall correctly it was Johnny’s weight.
13 - Stone Cold Steve Austin?
16 - Sea urchin?
17 - Electrons?

Certain of 3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17. Couple of others I could guess and the robot boxing movie might come to me.

Edit: it did!
