Episode notes

James Webb is Australia's no.1 Competitive Eater and ranked no.4 in the world. He is also a social media megastar with over 2 million followers across his various platforms! He constantly breaks world records and is knocks down challenge after challenge.

Well, this was as much of a fun episode as it was incredibly insightful! We were extremely fortunate enough to catch Webby while he was in Melbourne and boy did it blow our minds!

James is about to share with you the ins and outs of the crazy world of competitive eating.

From how contests work, to his incredible records to even the behind-the-scenes egos, you will hear it all!

You won't believe how much training goes into the sport, the crazy travel schedule and of course the perks of being called out constantly by restaurants across the globe. Plus, how much money is in it when you combine the social media side with the contest side.

What may also shock you is the down side of the sport. From non-professional health risks for people going in blindly, to companies using you for clout...there is a lot more than meets the eye.

We also get to hear about the social media side and how he has built such a big following...as well as his personal thoughts on it all...which may upset a few people at the HQ of some of these platforms!

We take on Webby in a pancake eating challenge that let's just say is quite embarrasing but will also give you an idea on how good James is!

Tour Edge Show and Tell returns with yet another crazy story and so much more in this jam packed episode.

Sit back and enjoy this very tasty episode with the legend himself, James Webb.
