How is this even a thing?

i fell into the “youtube tornado” the other day and came across a video of some guy named Randy Santel (or something). He travels around and stuffes himself like a pig.

And people come to see him?
How is this a thing, when there are people in this world that are hungry?
 
Idk how either crazy ass people like Joey chestnut

Watching.Joey Chestnut eat a 5 pound burrito in 90 seconds was horrific.

The Nathan's hot dog challenge cracked me up. So many skinny as a rake Asian people seem to win these things.

Kobayashi was the most well known until Joey Chestnut took over.

There is actually a really interesting 30 for 30 that ESPN did on competitive eating. How Kobayashi was a fan favorite until Joey Chestnut came along. The founder and spokesmen of the competitive eating league, George Shea (is a fricking scumbag btw), turned it into USA vs "foreigners" b/c the hot dog eating championship is on the 4th of July. When Joey won he called it like the greatest accomplishment in American sports or some shit like that.

So the crowd turned on Kobayashi calling him "Shanghai boy" and "Kamikazi" and Shea pushed it further saying the dark days were behind us and America has its confidence back? Kobayashi took it very personally and after a year or 2 never came back. They've even taken his picture off their "hall of fame" type wall. Anyway, it's pretty interesting but Kobayashi definitely got screwed after being the man to take competitive eating to the "mainstream" in a sense.

I find gluttony pretty disgusting but the first one I saw I was transfixed. I do like me a hot dog but the fact they're soaking the buns in water...yikes.I spend more time tarting a hot dog up with relish, mustard and ketchup than I do eating the thing so it was bizarre to me.
 
There is a youtube guy who eats for his viewers - I've only seen other youtubers talk about him and short clips of him. Just those short clips are gross and I can't understand how there is a crowed and market for this (apparently he's shit himself while stuffing is face and he has this really annoying personality). I do believe he uses the name Nick Avacado (something like that). I cannot bring myself to watch one of his actual videos.
 
Because its hilarious and quite frankly kind of astonishing. I mainly watch Nathan hd contest but every time I see the world records of the contestants I just lmao.
 
In college I got absolutely bombed and got my picture on the wall of a Spikes Junkyard Dogs restaurant for eating 14 dogs. Chick. Magnet.
 
I read a book about it a while back, very interesting, for us MMA fans there are parallels, a niche “sport” which struggles for acceptance in mainstream society because many find it distasteful.

i dunno man..
I’ve got a cousin that is obsessed with it.. he can sit and watch YouTube videos on it all night.

ohhh ‘insert name of person’ will eat ‘insert name of person’ under the table etc etc are usual discussions.

to each their own and all that but how can you watch this shite.
 
There's that Japanese dude who gorges on these and still has rock solid abs.

surprised I don't see more fighters transition to this sport... given the whole hard dieting for weight classes ,and now have a legit excuse to be a glutton while being "an athlete"
 
I prefer watching Shoenice down bottles of Absolut
