“Human vs Hamster” is the ultimate battle of the species. Humans and hamsters go head to head in obstacle courses, including a human hamster wheel and ball, to see who is superior. The show is hosted by Saturday Night Live’s Sarah Sherman and sports commentator Kyle Brandt features pop culture personality Brian Balthazar.

I talked to host Kyle Brandt and “resident hamster enthusiast” Brian Balthazar about if they were surprised how well the hamsters performed, what challenges they would excel at and which one they think the hamsters would beat them at, who would pick to go inside the final cage, and their favorite hamster fact.

Human vs Hamster is now streaming on max.
