Warning: You may not want to listen to this week’s episode of Talking in Circles on an empty stomach as we discuss some of the most insane food and food challenges that are out there for you to partake in. Before we get to the glorious gluttony we discuss two of this summer’s biggest movies Jurassic World and San Andreas. To best enjoy this week’s episode we advise covering it in gravy, sprinkling it with cheese, wrapping it in bacon, and then of course deep frying it to perfection.

As each pro league adds more teams the talent is diluted. many players are really no better than AAA and some aren’t any better than AA. But they need to fill the seats..
So what does the franchise do? Increase the prices on food and drinks. Then they invent food items and sell them for over the top prices.
Next caviar on a hot dog they charge you 50 bucks for.
Hamburger buns in leaf eatable gold for $100.
Sad thing is I’d probably try them all.
Think you hit the nail on the head there Peter. They always have to up the ante, and it ends up spilling over into the ridiculous. But I would also probably try most of the things as long as they were reasonably priced.
I find it odd we now have two polar opposite approaches to selling food. A lot of places are going super heatlhy, organic, gluton free, and all that. Then you have other places that are making hotdog pizzas or like Hardies trying to make a hamburger each week that will cause an instant heart attack.
You have a Hardies near you? Jealous. I don’t think I have ever even seen one of those in real life.
I notice an opposite trend around me with ballparks and other sporting events where places are more open to you bringing in your own food. There’s been a big push to get families to come so they allow them to pack lunches and attend games.
That’s one of my favorite things about Camden Yards, besides the fact its the best ballpark in the majors, you can bring in your own food and beer.

I have tried a hot wing challenge at one point. Only 6 hot wings in blazin sauce. ’ “Blazin’” sauce weighs in at around 300,000 Scoville units, making it about 60 times hotter than a jalapeno pepper, or about in line with some of the hottest liquefied habanero peppers available. You couldn’t drink anything or even whip your mouth. And you only at six minutes. I nonly got three done and I was hurting.
What are Scoville units? Is that a real thing?
Yep. Scoville s the measurement of the pungency (spicy heat) of chili peppers or other spicy foods
I’ll pass on that. Not interested in consuming pure acid lol.
Ouch. Yea I like hot stuff alright, but even I have limits. Once it starts tasting like fire I’m out.
