    I give this 2 more months. Also heavy d acts like he’s doing this for fun. But you can tell he thinks he’s gonna get famous.

    They need to use some higher quality cameras / streaming software /audio to make it better. The content is OK, but need more diversity of topics instead of going into deep details about the contest food, or each person’s individual strategy for a given contest.

    I did enjoy the part in the last episode where Healy outright said that he water trained while in MLE, basically because it’s required in order to get past a certain capacity level and improve in contests where you are up against some really good eaters. He straight up said: “chugging a bunch of water and then throwing it up immediately afterwards”. Was refreshing to hear someone say this on YouTube, as very few admit that this is what pro CE training entails. Pretty much anybody showing up to an MLE event that doesn’t train like this is just there for a “free” meal.

    @ 5:26 Nahhh, I can whole heartedly attest that this is for fun. But you can think whatever tickles your fancy.

    @ 7:24 I agree higher quality would certainly be welcomed and appreciated, but they’re just starting off. Most non-professionally produced podcasts (or any type of creative venture for that matter) are a little clunky starting out on the technical aspect. I’d love for the quality to improve as time goes on.

    In terms of content, see my above comment about this being done for fun (hence discussing whatever they want/whatever their guest wants) but hey if you’ve got ideas for content topics I’m sure they’re open to hearing some of them out! I know I would be.

    I think it’s fine as is. It’s just the lack of interest in competitive eating. But if Joey was doing the same thing – mega views/listens.
