I remember watching him go against a Japanese guy (kobeyashi?) when I was just a little dude. He’s a crazy guy!

You don’t have to understand it, you just have to **CHOW DOWN HARD**.

Actually, I’m with you on this one; competitive eating is a bit off.

You train by drinking a lot of water to expand your stomach(less room to expand if you’re a bigger guy which is why many world class eaters are fairly slim) and eating a lot to overcome the feeling of being full and work on chewing quickly and swallowing as much and as quickly as possible.

Helpful for when you want to maximize your value at a buffet 😛

But yet that gets televised on TV, while we have to find out from a friend of a friend who’s uncle’s sister had a former boyfriend who’s roommate is a grub hub driver that delivers to a yo-yo enthusiast who can tell us the the live stream links to contests…

Sorry wife and I watched Spaceballs yesterday, couldn’t help myself.
