About the Episode

Food. We need it to survive, but somehow, consuming it got turned into a sport. Why? We will probably never figure it out.

Colin learns about the man who built a career out of destroying his own body, while Sierra talks about how much food is too much food. Join us as we discuss the proper way to slide a hotdog down your throat, a Broadway show about pie eating, and Joey Chestnut’s exclusive sauces.
