Gyros and Larry Bird | Fiery Embers Podcast Run Tri Bike

Endurance sports aren’t always about paces, mileage, or pushing boundaries. Sometimes, it’s about taking a step back, sharing a laugh, and embracing the lighter side of life. That’s exactly what the Fiery Embers Podcast, hosted by Jason Bahamundi, delivers in every episode. In the latest installment, Jason welcomes guest Ryan Reynolds (not that Ryan Reynolds) for a conversation packed with humor, absurd debates, and nostalgia that’s bound to brighten your day. Where else are you getting a conversation about gyros and Larry Bird?

Debating Food: Gyros, Hot Dogs, and Pizza

Is a gyro a sandwich or a burrito? 🥙 It’s the type of question you didn’t know you needed an answer to, but Jason and Ryan tackle it with gusto. From quirky insights to downright hilarious arguments, this debate spirals into even more absurd food classifications, including the age-old question: Are hot dogs and hamburgers the same?

And then there’s pizza. Is it a “pie,” or just “pizza”? The duo hilariously dissects the terminology while Ryan shares his ultimate burrito-filling preference. Spoiler alert: rice is the unsung hero.
