This is the episode where Jay and Jacob go on a diet. Wait, isn’t it the holidays? Isn’t this a terrible time to talk about diets? What is a diet anyway? Is it a good word, a bad word, or does it even mean what we think it means? They talk about what it took to get rid of the Freshman Fifteen (or Forty, as the case may be). They look back at crazy fad diets of days gone by (prepare to be shocked and amazed.) They count how many dollars Americans spend on diet products (not really; it would take too long and you don’t have that kind of time.) They chat about what “eating plans” have been successful for them, and which have not. (The second list is longer.) Listen till the end: there’s ice cream and hot sauce for everyone!
