Hey, everyone, Dan here coming at you with another sporkful reheat, and this is the last reheat of our month-long 15th anniversary celebration.

We have been digging deep into the deep freezer for especially old episodes to celebrate this special month.

But you know what?

I've had a lot of fun really listening to some of these old episodes.

I gather from the feedback you've been getting that many of you have enjoyed it as well. So, you know, I think from time to time we're

going to keep doing it. Keep going deep into the archives. Now, this week, I'm bringing you two of our

early call-in shows. We've been taking calls on the Sporkful since the full early sporkful ethos in these. My co-host, Mark Garrison, at the time and I debated with listeners over the smallest details of food and eating, especially the language of food and eating.

A lot of semantic debates back then.

I grew up listening to talk radio, sports talk radio, and like morning zoo radio.

And I just always love when they take calls.

I love a great call segment.

It's the old radio person in me. And so I've always loved our call-in shows and I'm very excited to share two of our

earliest ones with you this week. Now, as always, if there's an episode of the Sporkful that you want us

to pull out of the deep freezer, send me an email at hello at sporkful.com. Tell me what episode we should reheat and why and include your first name and where you are.

All right, here's the first of two early call-in episodes we're sharing with you today.

Enjoy.

This is the sporkful. It's not for foodies, it's for eaters. I'm Dan Pashman along with Mark Garrison.

Hey there, Dan. We're about to challenge your assumptions about consumption and drop a spork full of knowledge on you because we're obsessively compulsive about eating more awesomely. And because of history has taught us anything,

it's that the host of food shows need a lot of catchphrases. Mark Garrison, how are you, sir?

I'm doing great, actually. I had a really great slice of pizza on the way over here. We are at a

different place of recording, which is to say it's not your apartment or mine. Right.

And there's a great pizzeria nearby.
