On the latest episode of MUNCHIES: The Podcast, we're going to be complete idiots.

On the hottest day of summer (thus far) in New York City, we've decided to stand outside for way too long. We've got some vital work to do. Since it's officially the greatest season of the year, it's time for day drinking, sunburns, and epic grilling parties. To kick things off, we're digging into one of the season's essentials: the hamburger. And in order to do that, we're heading to one of the world's most traveled burger destinations: Shake Shack in Madison Square Park.
