Two friends of Neil and Gabby enter The Truth Barrel to share the truth about being chronically overweight: Scott (The Truth Barrel sound engineer), and Patrick (Neil's temporary right-hand person). Both Scott and Patrick are over six feet and north of 300 pounds. Neil and Gabby do their best to make a potentially life-saving game-plan for Scott and Patrick to change. They also dig inside the refrigerator to review the basics about the good, the bad, and the dangerous foods that you're led to eat too often. Then they go deeper to discuss the emotional reasons for why we eat foods that we logically know are hurting us.
