Thanksgiving calorie challenge
How this one works
Premise
- So in the spirit of Thanksgiving this Thursday, we are going to build a delicious Thanksgiving feast.
How it works
- So how this is going to work, I've got 11 crazy, overindulgent Thanksgiving foods, and you all are going to decide whether you're going to put that on your plate or not when you walk through the buffet. The goal is to have the most calories consumed by the end of your meal. Not a problem. However, if you surpass 10,000 calories... 10,000? You die. And you won't win.
- So you want to beat everybody else. You want to eat the most calories, but if you go too far, that's no good. Do I have to enjoy my meal, or is it like I'm just going for the caloric thing? You can play this how you want. You can just go off vibes and be like, I like the sound of that. I'm going to eat that in real life. Or you can go on strategic, you know, trying to pick and choose what's going to make sense. You can play this however you want. How many items are there? There are 11. 11. 11. And again, you all get to decide whether to put this on your plate every round.
Scoring
- It's one of 11 items. So all 11 items you're going to put on your plate or not, and then we're going to add up the calories.

I'm eating cheese pork bricks over here.

Curtis, you don't like gravy?
I do like gravy. I was joking. Okay, good. Curtis doesn't want to ruin the sanctity of the turkey. That's what I thought. He would never blemish it with gravy or drippings or stuffings.

Well, what's going to be following next week, Ryan Sansone, when we cover the previous episode?
It's season eight, episode 13, Sliding Frazier's. I had a tough time with this. We just had the hooping cranes, and that was actually about basketball. So I assume this is not actually about sliding.
