I have been watching Beard Meats Food, Atlas, and Joel Hansen for a while.  Interesting to watch, but today I stumbled on Molly Schuyler.  She is absolutely unreal.  Everyone else you are like, yeah I can see that.  I might be able to that.

Molly?  No fing way.  I would find a new line of work if I ran up against her.  Her videos are not a good example of the genre (Beard Meats Food is the best), but damn her skills are unreal.

    Agree, fun to watch, at times , but a bit glutinous with all the people that need a meal out there … I guess real food porn lol

    She lost me as soon as she picked up the boat of beans and shoveled them down her gullet.  

    I guess it is just not my genre.

    I can't believe she kept saying "This is really good."  How would she know?

    I don't really follow competitive eating much but I've seen a few Joel Hansen videos. The guy is always polite and classy. A lot of these competitive eaters have pretty big egos and are hard to watch.

    Ever watch a labrador retriever eat?
    Loaf of bread, lb of butter, and a bag of chocolate chips... no problem
    or the most memorable one, a gallon of used fry oil

    I don't think I saw her chew even once. The look on the guy's face as she started pouring stuff into her pie hole was pretty darn funny.

    I watch mukbang videos occasionally. The ASMR ones are kinda fun to watch. Especially some of the Indian and Bangladeshi mukbangers.

    Ho Lee Chit.  I can't imagine how that ended.  Actually, I can, and it's not good.

    We were out with a group friends one night to get some take out bbq. We all came back to one house, where the couple had a fully grown black lab named Murray.  

    To do this day I do not know what the *!@# she was thinking, but one of the people in our group thought it would be a good idea to open her to-go tray of Q and hold it down low and a few inches from Murray's face so he could see what she had inside.  

    He just... inhaled it.  There is no other way to describe what that dog did to that food but in a second it was all gone.  Never seen anything like that before.  She was left holding a foam container that might as well have been licked clean.

    That’s what I mean.  I don’t get why we’ve decided we should turn eating into a sport, never mind film it for everyone to see.  I really don’t see the appeal.

    The appeal? Just another part of the freak show called life.

    Do freak shows appeal to you?  You don’t even post your own pictures here.

    This big boy can take down some chow.  125#.    All healthy food for him, no pizza crust etc.   

    of course the wife had to doctor him up with a bow tie

    Everything a sport and everything is monetized.  It os better than K-Pop.

    Speaking of watching people do dumb stuff. Check out Kings of Pain. No idea why anyone would do this to themselves, but I'm hooked on watching

    Do they just show married guys?  

    I liked to call myself "King of pain" when I was married.

    Lol, no they force themselves to get bit by different insects, nasty big ones too.
    Maybe they are working their way up to marriage
