Alex is a germaphobe who eats with hands. Wait, what?

Eating with hands is gross. Or is it ? Alex and Josh have different opinions on this. Eating with bare hands creates a different bond with food. It also is a convenient way for bacteria to get into you. But, what if you wash your hands ? Still gross ? What about the etiquette ? What about pizza ?
