It is weird to me how much this guy resembles a guy I work with in his mannerisms. The guy I work with also happens to love bacon.

Bacon is teh awesome. I think most cooks love bacon. How much do cooks love bacon? Check out this thread on eGullet in praise of bacon:
Bacon Aphorisms

Anyway, bacon didn't USED to shrivel up the way it all seems to now. The reason that bacon shrivels up like that now is because industrial grade bacon is made by injecting it with nitrate salts in a water solution. By doing this, bacon can be made in a matter of hours, instead of the painstaking, days long process by which real bacon is supposed to be made. The other "advantage" of wet-cured bacon is that the bacon increases in mass, so it is more profitable. The result for the consumer is less than optimal.

If you go and get artisanal dry cured bacon, you'll be in for a treat. Bacon that keeps its shape when rendered, and much more satisfying, full bacon flavour. Do yourself a favour, eat some BACON!

Not sure why but I just kept asking myself "Why is the audience laughing at that?" through the whole bit. I always feel like a moron when something is so funny to so many other people but I have to struggle to crack a smile.

For those who have never tried it, Grilled Bacon is the best.

you have to cook it away from the flames, or else the fat dripping out of it will catch fire and carbonize the yummy strips of pig.

Also delicious, is to put bacon on the warming rack of a gas grill, over some other sort of meat that is actually on the grill.
