Introduction to the Steak Challenge

The episode kicks off with Alex posing a playful yet daunting question to the group: "How big of a steak do you think you could honestly eat in one sitting?" [00:00]. This sets the stage for a lively and humorous debate about personal eating limits and the sheer size of various steaks.

Debating the Maximum Steak Size

Brad's Initial Confidence

Brad confidently claims, "I know I can eat a 16 ouncer. I've done it, you know, 16 ounce ribeye." [00:04]. He expresses curiosity about pushing his limits further, questioning if a 24-ounce steak is feasible, though he remains uncertain about reaching that size.

Introducing the Tomahawk Steak

Chris raises the bar by introducing the tomahawk steak, asking, "How big is a tomahawk? It's got to be up there." [00:18]. This prompts a discussion about whether the weight includes the bone, adding complexity to the challenge.

Clarifying Steak Specifications

Derek adds nuance to the conversation by questioning the presentation, "Are you gonna ask for a tomahawk? Bone in or bone out?" [00:29], leading to humorous contemplation about the options available when ordering such a hefty cut.

Personal Limits and Realistic Assessments

Alex's Ambitious Goal

Alex ambitiously states, "I think more. I don't know. I think I do 32." [00:52], showcasing his confidence in tackling a significantly larger steak than Brad's initial claim.

Brad's Reflection on Past and Present Limits

Brad reflects on his capabilities, uncertain if his past ability to consume larger steaks still holds, saying, "I think a year ago I could do 32. I don't know about now." [01:19]. This introduces a relatable element of fluctuating personal limits.

Group Consensus and Practical Considerations

The group assesses the practicality of consuming such large steaks within a set timeframe. Derek suggests, "Let's say an hour and a half," [01:41], while Brad extends it slightly to two hours, emphasizing the challenge's intensity.

Sharing Personal Eating Habits and Anecdotes

Chris Opens Up About Childhood Eating Habits

In a surprising turn, Chris shares a personal story: "I would just eat like three plates really fast and then go throw up." [02:05]. This revelation about his childhood struggles with bulimia adds depth to the conversation, moving it beyond mere competition.

Addressing Sensitive Topics with Humor

Derek lightens the mood by humorously asking, "Can I get An Adderall prescription for that?" [02:38], demonstrating the group's ability to navigate sensitive subjects with levity.

Brad's Speculation and Research

Brad muses about the feasibility of eating a 32-ounce steak by breaking it down: "That's one ounce every four minutes." [02:52]. Derek suggests verifying real-world steak sizes through a quick Google search, leading to a practical approach in their discussion.

Visualizing Steak Sizes with Pop Culture References

Comparing to John Candy's Steak Challenge

The conversation takes a pop culture turn as they reference a John Candy movie scene, debating the actual size of the steak depicted: "The steak, I think that's like a 64 or something." [03:31]. This comparison brings a humorous and relatable element to their steak challenge.

Realistic Assessment of Steak Sizes

Upon closer inspection, they realize the visual discrepancy, with Chris noting, "That, that thing's a 12 ouncer." [03:41]. Brad confirms their realization, "Yeah. Oh, that one right there looks." [03:28], leading to a more grounded understanding of realistic steak sizes.

Finalizing Their Steak Challenge Limits

Brad's Determination

Brad concludes with a firm stance, stating, "I could definitely do 32." [03:56], affirming his commitment to the initial challenge despite the group's humorous reservations.

Derek's Increased Ambition

Derek pushes the envelope further by contemplating a 40-ounce steak, inspired by a YouTube video: "A YouTube video, a 72 ounce Canadian steak." [04:02], showcasing the group's escalating enthusiasm.

Group Decision to Avoid the Challenge

Ultimately, Derek suggests, "We should try it. No." [04:14], as Brad humorously counters, "Because then I gotta buy the steak and then you're not gonna eat half of it." [04:15], leading to a collective decision to steer clear of the colossal steak endeavor.

Transition to a Different Segment: "Time, Mary, Kill"

Introducing a New Game

The hosts smoothly transition to another segment called "Time, Mary, Kill," where they discuss their preferences among three options: "Jared Miller, Time Mary Kill Nashville. Deadwood, Lake of the Ozarks." [04:32]. This shift showcases the podcast's versatility and playful nature.

Individual Choices and Rationales

Each host shares their choices with humorous justifications:

• Derek: Chooses to marry Nashville and kill Lake of the Ozarks, highlighting personal preferences and poking fun at the format.
• Chris: Selects Deadwood as his marital choice, candidly explaining his reasoning.
• Alex: Opts to kill Lake of the Ozarks while expressing frustration with the options.
• Brad: Leans towards marrying Nashville, tying it back to his passion for country music.

Engaging Banter and Light-Hearted Interaction

The segment is filled with witty exchanges and playful teasing, such as Brad's reaction to Alex's choices and the group's collective laughter, enhancing the podcast's entertaining atmosphere.

Conclusion and Call to Action

As the episode winds down, Brad shifts focus to promoting additional content: "You bet your radio, you gotta check out our Patreon." [06:29]. He encourages listeners to support the podcast for access to exclusive episodes, wrapping up the episode with a friendly and engaging invitation.

Transcript

[Alex]

How big of a steak do you think you could honestly eat in one sitting?

[Brad]

I know I can eat a 16 ouncer. I've done it, you know, 16 ounce ribeye. Slap that baby down. Can I get up to 24? I don't know, because. What? You'd have to have a porter house in order to get to 24.

[Chris]

How big is a tomahawk? It's got to be up there.

[Brad]

Well, do they weigh the bones? Talking bone in, tomahawk or bone out?

[Derek]

I mean, just think about it, you guys. Are you gonna ask for a tomahawk? Bone in or bone out? Like. Like as if there's the option.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Boneless tomahawk.

[Brad]

Yeah.

[Chris]

Chicken nugget.

[Brad]

I think if I really sat down and focused on it, I think I could probably put a 24 ouncer down.

[Alex]

I think more. I don't know. I think I do 32.

[Chris]

I think it.

[Derek]

Yeah, meat. Meat fills you up also.

[Alex]

It is.

[Brad]

But two ribeye, 16 ounce rib is a lot of meat.

[Alex]

I think that's my peak, though.

[Brad]

That would be like eating two 1 pound burger patties, right?

[Derek]

Yeah. 32 ounces, 16 ounces apiece to be a lot.

[Brad]

Yeah, I don't know. I. You think I could do 32? I think a year ago I could do 32. I don't know about now.

[Derek]

Yeah, I think I could do 30.

[Chris]

I think I'm at that 25 range. I get. Do I get all day or is it sit down, eat it.

[Alex]

If you throw up, you lose.

[Derek]

I think let's say an hour and a half.

[Brad]

I'll just say two hours.

[Chris]

Two hours, throw up.

[Brad]

Maybe I could do 32 in two hours.

[Alex]

Yeah, I think that's doable.

[Chris]

I don't know. I'm a puker a little bit. When I get too full, I puke.

[Brad]

Yeah, I know.

[Chris]

Yeah. I used to go to Chinese buffets as a kid, and I would just eat Chinese food until I threw up.

[Brad]

What?

[Chris]

I'm. I'm dead serious. I would just eat like three plates really fast and then go throw up.

[Derek]

I think you were. You had to cut weight for wrestling, probably.

[Chris]

No, my mom, actually. I don't remember the story, but my mom told me she.

[Brad]

So are you saying that you were bulimic growing up?

[Chris]

So we were eating at a Chinese restaurant, and I wouldn't throw up. Threw up. And my mom told me I had bulimia. And I thought, like, why did you never tell me I had this? Like, why. Why would you hide this from me for so long?

[Derek]

Can I get An Adderall prescription for that.

[Chris]

I didn't know what bulimia was. I was like 10 years old.

[Alex]

I can't eat sugar anymore.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brad]

I mean 32 ounce steak, roughly. What? That's one ounce every four minutes.

[Derek]

That do you. You can easy, dad.

[Alex]

Walk around a little bit.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brad]

Joey Chestnut.

[Derek]

Can you pull water? Can you pull up. Just Google 32 ounce steak, see if they even. Even serve them in 32 ounces.

[Alex]

Yeah.

[Chris]

It also like just to see one for size here.

[Brad]

Yeah.

[Derek]

Get a visual.

[Chris]

Yeah. Banana for scale, if you could.

[Brad]

That's it.

[Derek]

That's.

[Chris]

I could kill that. Never mind if that's really 32 ounces.

[Brad]

Yeah. Oh, that, that one right there looks.

[Alex]

It's a lot, but.

[Chris]

Okay. Okay. The John Candy movie where he eats.

[Brad]

The steak, I think that's like a 64 or something.

[Chris]

Okay.

[Derek]

See and that photo is like people who take photos with fish, they. They hold it way out to the camera. That's way.

[Chris]

Yeah, that, that thing's a 12 ouncer.

[Brad]

Look up. What. What John Candy's steak is in the great outdoors. Great outdoors steak. 96.

[Alex]

Yeah, 96.

[Derek]

So a third of that.

[Brad]

I could definitely do 32.

[Chris]

Yeah.

[Brad]

Yeah. I'm.

[Derek]

I'm maybe even thinking 40 now there's.

[Chris]

A YouTube video, a 72 ounce Canadian steak.

[Brad]

Yeah. So that's what I would say. 32.

[Derek]

We should try it.

[Brad]

No.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Brad]

Because then I gotta buy the steak and then you're not gonna eat half of it.

[Derek]

Dude, I'm a plate cleaner.

[Chris]

He's dirty bulking.

[Alex]

We'll bring the dog.

[Brad]

Let's just not talk about your eating habits any longer on this podcast. What else you got?

[Alex]

Jared Miller, Time Mary Kill Nashville. Deadwood, Lake of the Ozarks.

[Brad]

Whoa. That's pretty good.

[Alex]

Actually.

[Derek]

That's a really good one. Oh, I'll go first.

[Brad]

You're gonna marry Deadwood?

[Derek]

No, I'm. I'm gonna marry Nashville.

[Chris]

Wow.

[Brad]

Really?

[Derek]

I'm gonna.

[Brad]

Off.

[Derek]

I'll Deadwood and I'll kill Lake of the Ozarks.

[Chris]

Okay. Because I'm gonna. Since they're locations, I'm going to treat this as like a where I would want to live, where I'd want a vacation to, and where I'd never want to go. So I think I'm gonna. I'm gonna marry Deadwood because I could live there.

[Derek]

Okay.

[Chris]

I could. I could live in Deadwood. I think I'm also gonna kill Ozarks and I'm gonna Nashville.

[Brad]

Now, objectively, that wasn't what the question was.

[Chris]

I know, but that's just. I'm telling. I'm explaining my thought process to you guys. Thinking out loud, if you will.

[Brad]

Okay. Jared, what about you?

[Alex]

I'll kill Lake of the Ozarks. I just haven't been there. I'll marry Deadwood and Nashville. I flip off them. Sorry. I'll flip off them.

[Brad]

You're gonna marry Deadwood Nashville?

[Chris]

No.

[Brad]

You're married to Nashville.

[Alex]

Better flights.

[Brad]

Yeah, this is. It is. It's way easier to get there.

[Alex]

Exactly.

[Brad]

That is actually a great point. Yeah, you're right. It's also not that easy to get to the Ozarks either from here.

[Derek]

No.

[Alex]

Little awkward.

[Brad]

So, yeah, I'm not going to kill Nashville for a lot of those reasons. Plus, like, you know, I just. I'm a country music.

[Derek]

Yeah.

[Alex]

Song.

[Brad]

I'm. What is it?

[Chris]

Fan aficionado.

[Brad]

I'm.

[Alex]

No, I'm expert.

[Chris]

Not a fan of country music.

[Brad]

I'm a singer songwriter.

[Chris]

Oh, an artist.

[Brad]

Yes. I'm a singer songwriter in Nashville. So I think I got it.

[Chris]

I mean, singers are allowed to be fans.

[Brad]

No, you would not go. Oh, Kenny Chesney is a country fan. I bet he is a country artist. It's just way different.
