Hello, loyal viewers. This is Medusa from Future is Now, chiming in with a bit of fieldwork.
[YEP. RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S LIVE. He takes a plate off the table and examines it.]
This, as you may recognize, is an ordinary plate. According to our friend here, this so-called "cake eating contest" will be judged by plates. One slice per plate.

[He's kind of hoping he's getting the nonsensical wording down. His monotone should be weird enough, but...]
