The Bone in Podcast

The Bone in Podcast

The Bone in Podcast is an inspiring story of adversity, perseverance, and pipe dreams. When our friend and star of the show, Mel, became convinced she could win a hot wing eating competition, we did the most millennial thing ever and made a podcast about it. Join us in our journey as we find out if she’s got the guts, literally, to win it all!! Follow us on Instagram @theboneinpod.

We’ve all been there, sobbing heavily through mouthfuls of ice cream and lucky charms, washed down with swigs of cheap whiskey. The sad comic display interrupted only by brief periods of deep compilation of how we got here, quickly followed by more sobbing, eating, then whiskey. This ceremonial perpetuation of the fatness/sadness cycle ensures we remain fat enough that every time you catch your soft, flabby meat bag in the mirror y...

As Americans, it’s hard for us to imagine that there’s anyone outside these blessed borders of freedom capable of downing as much food as we do. Just occasionally, however, an unlikely contender stumbles up from the underworld to show the true meaning of overeating. In our first deep dive into maniacal masticators, we examine the Australian phenom James Webb. A man who's managed to stack up an impressive list of accomplishments in ...

In today's episode, we're taking a step back to figure out a game plan for Mel. We've only got 3 more months until the Best of the West Wing Fest and we need to make sure Mel has been practicing! Otherwise she's getting chained up in the basement (we might do that anyhow). As a bonus, we'll throw in some chicken facts so you can impress your friends and family this weekend with your chicken knowledge. Does anybody read these descri...

From mouth to poop chute, our food takes an incredible journey throughout our bodies. Each stage along the way holds a specific, important function. Unfortunately for Melinda, many of these stages also work to limit the quantity and pace of ingestion. While these can be problematic, the human body can be trained. Today, we stop at nothing to get Melinda into fighting shape, including the addition of “How to repress a gag reflex” to...

All forms of life share in their need to consume some form of sustenance. So it makes sense that all animals spend the majority of their energy acquiring more energy. Some hunt, others graze, and some just pull into the drive through. In a way, life revolves around food. Just as food can give life, it can also take it away. Like some sick twisted irony, the very object that gives life, also holds a propensity for taking it….and I’m...

In our funniest episode yet, Dan hates on words, and Mel talks about her miserable airport experience, and J-Roc has an issue with calling dogs children.

Science and sport go together like politicians and pedophiles, because every competition is better with data. In fact, it was this bond that led to the creation of “the stat”, with categories ranging from the obvious to the obscure. RBIs, sacks, shots on goal, completion percentage, whip. Science not only gives competitors a barometer with which to measure past performances, but also helps conceptualize the task at hand. The scienc...

There is an intersect of note where unusual human ability meets a desire to awe and impress. For some this is a display of athletic prowess. In other cases this may be a demonstration of creativity or musical talent. For a select few, this is simply just eating.  Luckily for us, both as producers of this podcast and as humankind in general, there’s a great deal of entertainment witnessing this grotesque act. This is so compelling, ...

Heroes are never born, they’re made. They’re hardened by austerity, roused by doubt, and consecrated by victory. This was something that 1970s Hollywood understood well. Find a reluctant commoner, pair them with a coach, and set them off on a seemingly impossible endeavor. This is the blueprint for creating a hero, and a multi-million-dollar Hollywood blockbuster. If our ordinary protagonist wishes to become the heroin, she must fo...

Technology has impacted all corners of human existence. It’s eradicated a litany of once deadly diseases, brought fresh food and water to loads of people across the globe, and redefined the meaning of convenience. In fact, humans equipped with the power of technology have reshaped the earth, quite literally. Why then, when technology removes the useless bone from the chicken wing, do some troglodytes cling to the primitive methods ...

There's nothing more American than an eating competition. For an American mother of two setting out to capture fame, an eating competition is the obvious path towards notoriety. America is also a land of ignorance. So it was only fitting that her chosen food was one smothered in a sauce named for a commonly mis-identified species. In plainest terms, buffalo chicken wings. The how being obvious, the only remaining question is the wh...
