00:01Kang, I did something during the break
00:04that I don't
00:04think I'm going to regret, but initially
00:06when I tell you what it is, I think you're going to have
00:08a reaction to it. Alright, well if you farted,
00:10it's okay. Doug's not there, so you guys have that
00:12rule. Right, right. So right now
00:14let it fly if you want. I didn't.
00:17That wasn't the case. Two cuts was coming
00:18in. I didn't need to cut one
00:20while two cuts was coming in.
00:23Because I respect him.
00:24That's not what's going to happen.
00:26But what I did
00:29that, I don't know if you're going to prove
00:30this or not, I just
00:32deleted an email that I got
00:35that would have given
00:36me a credential
00:39to the Nathan's Hot Dog
00:40Eating Competition. Whoa.
00:43Whoa. Yeah.
00:47I know we have a spam folder.
00:48Is there a hot dog folder?
00:50There is not a hot dog. It just comes straight
00:52to my directed email there. Oh, okay.
00:54Regular. Just primary.
00:55Yeah, right. I mean, wave them
00:57through. If it says hot dog, you get
00:59waved right through.
01:03But that happened.
01:04I had an opportunity, if I wanted
01:06to, to gain the credential
01:10to tomorrow's
01:12hot dog eating competition.
01:13It's tomorrow?
01:14Yeah. They're doing it July 3rd
01:16because it's a Friday. I believe
01:17they're doing it July 3rd as
01:19opposed to a 4th.
01:20Now, did you read this email at all?
01:22Is there specifics? Where does
01:23media sit? Do they sit front row?
01:26I don't know if you want to sit there.
01:27It doesn't say.
01:27And Lord knows that I would not
01:29want to sit front row
01:30for something like that.
01:31Do you get access to the locker room?
01:33I don't think you want that either.
01:37I mean, no.
01:39Well, beforehand, sure.
01:41Yeah, because they haven't
01:42eaten yet.
01:43Yeah. I mean, afterwards,
01:45no, man.
01:45No one wants that.
01:46I don't want to be 300 yards
01:48anywhere near a bathroom
01:49where these guys are going to be.
01:50Absolutely not.
01:53No, but I had the opportunity.
01:56Did you decline
01:57or did you just not respond?
01:58I didn't respond.
01:59I just deleted the email.
02:00And I'm looking back at it.
02:01They sent me one the other day, too,
02:03announcing, you know,
02:04this whole thing.
02:05It's Friday, July 3rd.
02:06Yeah.
02:07At noon tomorrow.
02:10Among the eaters expected
02:11at the weigh-ins.
02:12They got the weigh-ins going.
02:13Oh, that's actually,
02:13it's just the weigh-ins.
02:14It's just the weigh-ins.
02:15Oh, see, it's always
02:16in the 4th, isn't it?
02:17Yeah.
02:18Okay, so the weigh-ins
02:19are the 3rd.
02:19Yes, the July 4th contest
02:21will be held
02:22at the Iconic Nation,
02:23Nathan's Famous Flagship Restaurant.
02:25And that'll be
02:28from 11 to 1
02:29on Saturday, July 4th
02:31because they have
02:31the women's competition, too.
02:32But among the eaters
02:34expected at the weigh-ins,
02:35you got Joey Chestnut,
02:36who's the 17-time champion,
02:38reigning mustard belt holder.
02:40He had 70 and a half
02:41hot dogs and buns last year.
02:44Mickey Sudo,
02:45the 11-time champion
02:46and women's world record holder
02:49with 51 hot dogs and buns.
02:51It says HDBs.
02:55Like you didn't know that,
02:56but you had to explain it to us, right?
02:57I mean, come on.
02:58HDBs, everyone knows
02:59hot dogs and buns, man.
03:00We got this.
03:01Come on.
03:01Hot dog elite.
03:03Right, we're hot dog elite.
03:05Patrick Bertoletti,
03:06who was the 2024 champion
03:09when he put down 58 HDBs.
03:13James Webb of Australia.
03:14You got Eric Badlands.
03:15Booker is back.
03:18Right even Dvorak of the Czech Republic
03:20and Max Stanford of England.
03:22Got an international field
03:24this time around.
03:26But I don't want you to think
03:27less of me
03:27that I deleted the credential.
03:32All right, let me ask you
03:33a real question here.
03:34Yeah.
03:35What if it was in Detroit?
03:38What if it was
03:39the Coney hot dog eating contest?
03:42Like, it's more accessible for you.
03:44Like, you don't have to get on a plane
03:44or anything like that.
03:45Like, hey, you can just go
03:46drive to this location.
03:47Would you use that media pass?
03:50Would you accept that credential
03:51and watch this live?
03:53With Joey Chestnut
03:54and Badlands going at it?
03:56Yep.
03:57And Mickey Soto.
03:58Was that Mickey Soto?
03:59Mickey Soto.
04:00Mickey Soto.
04:00Mickey Soto.
04:01Mickey Soto.
04:02Yeah.
04:02Balligan.
04:07Balligan.
04:08Balligan.
04:09Balligan.
04:11Would I?
04:13I think I might.
04:14Oh, yeah.
04:15I think I might.
04:15If we're local.
04:16Yeah, I mean,
04:17I think that would be
04:18quite an event.
04:19You have it.
04:20You know,
04:20Hart Plaza.
04:22Everybody cheering them on.
04:23But it's not just HDBs.
04:27It's hot dog buns
04:28and Coney sauce.
04:30Oh, God.
04:32HDBCs.
04:34Can you imagine
04:35you throw a ladle
04:36of Coney sauce on there?
04:39Now,
04:39would you say
04:40that they have to have them,
04:42you know,
04:43done the whole way
04:44with onions and mustard too?
04:45Or can you just get away
04:45with just...
04:46I say onions and mustard.
04:47All the full on.
04:49Yes.
04:50Yeah,
04:51because then you know what?
04:52Then it's a real...
04:53It's a real testament
04:54of what you can do,
04:55right?
04:56Because everybody's been
04:58to a Coney.
05:00Whether it's a late night
05:02extravaganza locally
05:03or if you go downtown,
05:05if you're spending
05:05the night downtown,
05:06everybody's been...
05:07You know what it is.
05:08You're intoxicated.
05:09You end up going to Lafayette
05:10or American or wherever you go.
05:12Something to soak up the alcohol.
05:12Yeah.
05:13You end up at a Kirby's
05:14late night or National
05:15or whatever Coney it is
05:17that you love going to.
05:18Yeah.
05:20And somebody will go,
05:21oh, I'm so hungry.
05:22I'm going to have like six.
05:23And you're like,
05:24six Coney's?
05:25What?
05:26I'm not like that.
05:27I'm a big fat guy,
05:28but I'm not gluttonous
05:30when it comes to that.
05:32Like,
05:32I was never a guy...
05:33Let me see how many
05:34Coney's I could put down.
05:34Let me see how many
05:35slices of pizza I could...
05:35You never tested yourself, huh?
05:37No,
05:38because I enjoy them too much
05:40and to test yourself,
05:41I feel like you got to
05:42just keep shoveling them in
05:43and I just love the Coney
05:45that I get through too
05:46and I'm like,
05:46I think I'm good.
05:47Do you want a third?
05:48I can go for a third.
05:49I'll try a third.
05:51I think the most
05:52I could ever put down
05:53was probably four
05:54if there was a competition
05:56and money involved
05:57and this was 25,
05:5835 years ago,
05:59maybe I'd go five,
06:00but that's it.
06:01I'm out.
06:02I'm tapping out.
06:03But I knew guys
06:04that could do more
06:04and they weren't bigger than me.
06:06They were just guys
06:06that had a whole different
06:07mindset.
06:08They just wanted it more.
06:09They wanted it more.
06:10Absolutely,
06:10they wanted it more.
06:12So to think of,
06:13okay,
06:14you're hot dog eating
06:15conscious to hot dogs
06:16and buns,
06:17that's cute and all,
06:18dunking in the water
06:19and help dissolve the bun
06:21and you're shuffling in.
06:23You know,
06:24that's all cute and all,
06:25but the real test
06:27would be full-on Coney
06:31with mustard and onions.
06:34The full-on.
06:35How many could Joey Chestnut
06:36throw down then?
06:37Are we talking,
06:38does the number drop
06:39from 70 and a half
06:40hot dogs,
06:41bun,
06:41hot dogs and buns?
06:42Does it drop
06:43from 70 and a half
06:44down to like 30
06:46hot dogs,
06:47buns and Coney's?
06:48I think it does cut it
06:49like close to half,
06:50dude.
06:50That's a lot of extra.
06:51That's a lot of extra.
06:52Yeah.
06:53And you're not,
06:54and by the way,
06:55you're not dunking
06:56the Coney
06:57because you got
06:58the Coney sauce
06:58and then you got
06:59the onions
06:59and you got the mustard.
07:00That's going to fall off
07:01and that's going
07:02to disqualify you.
07:03So that's going
07:03to change the game
07:04altogether.
07:05So now your hot dog
07:06eating prowess
07:07going to a Coney
07:08eating contest,
07:10I think it levels
07:11the playing field.
07:12I think all of a sudden
07:13now we got,
07:13it's not so much
07:14about technique.
07:15Now it's really
07:15about the mindset.
07:16Do you want it more?
07:18You've just had 17
07:19Coney dogs.
07:20Do you want
07:20the 18th or not?
07:24And you're asking me
07:26if I would get
07:27a credential
07:28to witness that
07:29firsthand
07:29out at Hart Plaza?
07:31Yes!
07:33Wouldn't you want to go?
07:34I don't know, man.
07:35I think we'd be in awe.
07:36Bobby's on board.
07:37I'm down.
07:38Bobby uses a whole
07:39brick of cheese
07:39for his mac and cheese
07:40or whatever.
07:41Total facts.
07:44But here's the thing.
07:45I think we'd all
07:46be in awe
07:47but in a bad way.
07:48Yeah.
07:49Oh my God.
07:50What did I just
07:51witness?
07:52You're like pointing
07:53to the guy in the corner
07:53and going,
07:54oh my God,
07:54look at this guy.
07:55Look what he's doing.
07:56He's going for another one.
07:57Oh.
07:58Katie barred the door
07:59to the bathroom.
08:01I mean,
08:02but yeah,
08:02I think it would
08:03drop significantly.
08:04You're not putting
08:05down 60.
08:06You're not going
08:06to have 60 Coney's.
08:08You take away
08:09the water aspect.
08:10Like,
08:10you don't have water
08:11but it's got to
08:11sip it out of the cup.
08:12You're going to drink it after.
08:13You're not dunking
08:13the hot dog in there.
08:14That doesn't happen.
08:15Not in a Coney eating contest.
08:18I think he would
08:19knock it down.
08:21I think it's a 30
08:22hot dog difference.
08:22I'm going from 70
08:24to 40.
08:25I think that's
08:26the difference.
08:27Am I off?
08:28I think it's maybe
08:29even more.
08:29I think you're being
08:30conservative.
08:31Maybe I am.
08:32Bobby,
08:32what do you think?
08:33I thought my initial
08:35reaction was 70
08:36down to 50
08:36but 40 sounds accurate.
08:38How many Coney's
08:39do you think
08:39you could put down?
08:40Me?
08:40Yeah.
08:40like four
08:42but I don't really
08:42like hot dogs.
08:44I know that's blasphemous.
08:45It's not blasphemous
08:46but you said it.
08:47I mean,
08:47you got to own it.
08:49Ticket texter
08:50from Chris.
08:51You guys know
08:52about hot dog
08:52eating contests
08:53and soccer.
08:55Facts.
08:56I think you do
08:56know more about
08:57hot dog eating
08:57contests.
08:58Hot dog elite.
09:03Oh,
09:04man.
09:06No,
09:07I think I know
09:07more about soccer
09:08but not by much.
09:10hot dog eating
09:11contests.
09:11Hot dogs,
09:12yes.
09:13Hot dog eating
09:13contests,
09:14not as much.
09:15I don't know
09:15the whole history.
09:16I mean,
09:16I remember Kobayashi
09:18and you know what?
09:18It's the 250th
09:20anniversary of this
09:20country,
09:21right?
09:21Bring back Kobayashi.
09:22Why are we not
09:22bringing back Kobayashi?
09:25Can we do that?
09:26Can we have a
09:27surprise appearance?
09:29Can we do that?
09:30That would be
09:30amazing,
09:31right?
09:32The right melting
09:32pot that is
09:33the United States.
09:35Bring in the
09:36Japanese import.
09:37The man who
09:38really put this
09:39contest on the
09:39map and
09:41set the
09:42table.
09:42There was the
09:43pioneer for guys
09:44like,
09:46you know,
09:46Eater X
09:48and Joey
09:48Chestnut in
09:49particular.
09:50He beat Chestnut
09:50in the beginning,
09:50right?
09:51He was beating
09:51him consistently.
09:52And then Chestnut,
09:52he's like,
09:53I got to step up
09:54my game.
09:55And he did.
09:57I want Kobayashi
09:58back.
09:58Kobayashi was like
09:59the bad boys and
10:00Chestnut was like
10:01Jordan.
10:01He had to,
10:01you know,
10:02he had to get
10:02past that.
10:03Once he did.
10:04Once he did.
10:04He won a lot.
10:06And then Isaiah
10:07retired.
10:08Yeah.
10:08You know,
10:09where's Kobayashi
10:10now?
10:11He's out of the
10:12competitive eating
10:12world.
10:13I don't know.
10:14Ah,
10:16well,
10:16I just wanted you
10:17to know that,
10:17yeah,
10:18that's not gonna be
10:18the case,
10:18but I definitely
10:19think it's got to
10:21drop it down.
10:2230 dogs.
10:22If you go to a
10:23Coney eating contest
10:24instead.
10:25All right.
10:25If you went,
10:26if you told Doug
10:27that,
10:27Hey,
10:27I'll go to Dayton
10:28with you for a
10:28play in game.
10:29Will you go to the
10:30hot dog eating
10:30contest with me?
10:31Do you think you
10:32would accept that?
10:33Cause that would
10:33be the most
10:34disgusting thing for
10:35Doug to ever
10:35witness in his
10:36life.
10:37Right.
10:37And he's got like
10:37the credential
10:38gets him right up
10:38close.
10:40So he's like in
10:41spewing distance.
10:43Spewing distance.
10:44Hey,
10:44someone,
10:45someone might lose
10:45it,
10:45you know,
10:46we got a
10:47reversal.
10:49A Coney reversal
10:50is so much worse
10:51than just a hot dog
10:52reversal.
10:53I think he would.
10:55Yeah,
10:56I think he would.
10:56I think he is so
10:57desperate to get me
10:58to go to Dayton
10:58to watch one of
10:59these crap
11:01play in games.
11:01Yeah,
11:02I think he would
11:02absolutely just to
11:04get me to do that.
11:04He would say if it's
11:05heart Plaza.
11:06Yeah,
11:07a hundred percent.
11:07I think he would.
11:09Anyway,
11:10little levity on the,
11:11on the day before the
11:12hot dog or two days
11:13before the hot dog
11:14getting got us two,
11:15four,
11:15five,
11:15three,
11:15nine,
11:1697,
11:1797.
11:17Lots of texts
11:18have come in about
11:19all the things we're
11:20talking about today.
11:20We've got some more
11:22calls on hold.
11:22Want to get to as
11:23well.
11:23We'll bring up some
11:24Red Wings stuff
11:25because Red Wings
11:25did actually make
11:27some signings
11:27yesterday and I
11:29think they're good
11:29signings.
11:30I think there's,
11:31some quality they've
11:33added to this team
11:34and we'll see what
11:35more there is to
11:36offer.
11:36It's funny.
11:36Here it is 24 hours
11:37later and there's
11:38been a trickle of
11:40movement in the NHL.
11:41Like the big news of
11:42the day in the NHL is
11:43that Alex Ovechkin
11:44has announced he's
11:45coming back for
11:46another year,
11:46which I think is
11:47great.
11:47Two,
11:48four,
11:48five,
11:48nine,
11:4897,
11:4997.
11:49This is 97.
