The day is finally here! After months of build up, Mel is finally ready to test her skills on a pile of 50 wings. Has she been training?  Have we wasted our time making this podcast? Are thick loads a sign of masculinity? Tune in to find out!

BTP: J-Roc's Shame, Blood Work Reveal Parties, & Boobie Smooches

J-Roc shamefully reveals his eating habits. Mel is outraged at how much titties have inflated (not that kind of titty inflation). Dan attempts to bring an end to the millennial vs. boomer conflict. 

Episode 7: Training Day

From mouth to poop chute, our food takes an incredible journey throughout our bodies. Each stage along the way holds a specific, important function. Unfortunately for Melinda, many of these stages also work to limit the quantity and pace of ingestion. While these can be problematic, the human body can be trained. Today, we stop at nothing to get Melinda into fighting shape, including the addition of “How to repress a gag reflex” to my search history.

Episode 6: When Food Bites Back

All forms of life share in their need to consume some form of sustenance. So it makes sense that all animals spend the majority of their energy acquiring more energy. Some hunt, others graze, and some just pull into the drive through. In a way, life revolves around food. Just as food can give life, it can also take it away. Like some sick twisted irony, the very object that gives life, also holds a propensity for taking it….and I’m not talking about diabetus.

BTP: Dan Hates Words, Mel Hates Florida, & J-Roc Hates Anthropomorphisms

Episode 5: The Science of Wings (feat. Melinda the Scientist)

Science and sport go together like politicians and pedophiles, because every competition is better with data. In fact, it was this bond that led to the creation of “the stat”, with categories ranging from the obvious to the obscure. RBIs, sacks, shots on goal, completion percentage, whip. Science not only gives competitors a barometer with which to measure past performances, but also helps conceptualize the task at hand. The science is in, and for Melinda, well it’s not great.

Episode 4 (Part II): Inside the Wild World of Competitive Eating

In our second look at competitive eating, we talk about some of the nation's biggest eating competitions and scope out Mel's first competition entry. We'll also take a look at one very impressive eater who's taking the world of competitive eating by storm!! 

BTP: Does Reese Get Her Pieces Out?

Episode 4: Inside the Wild World of Competitive Eating (feat. Darvid Bowtie)

There is an intersect of note where unusual human ability meets a desire to awe and impress. For some this is a display of athletic prowess. In other cases this may be a demonstration of creativity or musical talent. For a select few, this is simply just eating.  Luckily for us, both as producers of this podcast and as humankind in general, there’s a great deal of entertainment witnessing this grotesque act. This is so compelling, in fact, there’s a long, storied tradition of publicly viewing of those ingesting ungodly amounts of…..whatever.

Episode 3: Rocky Balballbag

Heroes are never born, they’re made. They’re hardened by austerity, roused by doubt, and consecrated by victory. This was something that 1970s Hollywood understood well. Find a reluctant commoner, pair them with a coach, and set them off on a seemingly impossible endeavor. This is the blueprint for creating a hero, and a multi-million-dollar Hollywood blockbuster. If our ordinary protagonist wishes to become the heroin, she must follow the steps laid out by Hollywood’s greatest hero, Rocky.
