Summary
In this week's episode, Hame and Vic will answer some of the world's toughest questions.
Like, why do kebabs taste so good when you are drunk (or even when you are sober for that matter!)
Why do we eat like pigs when hungover? Is it ok to eat food that has booze in it?
You might be thinking why are we talking about food in a sobriety episode?
Well Hame and Vic have been busy researching and have found undeniable evidence (eat your heart out Huberman) that links food and booze.
We have stumbled across a newfound love of food in our sobriety which has made Vic a terrible restaurant customer and turned Hame from the worst cook on the planet to a self-titled Hamie Oliver.
(And did we mention that we are both sugar free now? Oh right...just the thousand times...sorry!)
Enjoy the episode!

During the episode Hame and Vic questioned whether there was plastic in the chocolate in Oz in order for it to have a higher melting temperature? Thankfully, it turns out it does not! They use Shea Butter and Palm Oil instead...lovely!
