Marvel is famous for its memorable characters - Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine, Storm, etc.. Except, there is one that many have forgotten. A character with so much power, he breaks things by just entering a room. No, I am not talking about the Hulk or Thanos snapping things away. I'm talking about the Kool-Aid Man. He is the most powerful Marvel character you never knew was a Marvel character and I have the proof!

2020x7 - Will Masterchef Gordon Ramsay FAIL?
August 6, 2020
Today we put two very successful chefs against one another to figure out who would be the true Masterchef - since they have failed to live up to this challenge themselves. On one side of the ring we have Gordon Ramsay. The man, the myth, the one who dreams in our faces about our terrible food and we love it! His shows like Kitchen Nightmares and Hell's Kitchen bring out the beast each episode. In the other corner we have Bobby Flay. This chill, southern chef is not only an Iron Chef, but his show Beat Bobby Flay thrives on the idea of pitting him against another chef. Will we spur them to actually stoke the fire and get this battle started IRL? I will certainly try!

2020x11 - Chuck E Cheese Pizza, Should You Be Scared?
September 3, 2020
Chuck E. Cheese pizza is a modern age folktale all on its own. From the infamous docuseries, to all of the other theories spread across YouTube and the internet at large, we ALL know what this theory is going to be about. Is Chuck E Cheese pizza recycled? Do the employees use uneaten pizza slices from previous patrons to build "new" pizzas that they then serve to other customers?
