Welcome to the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM paranormal

Speaker 2 (00:54):
Ready to be amazed by the wizard of weird. This
is Strange with Josha Warren.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
I am Joshua, if you Warren, and each week on
this show, I'll be bringing a brand new mind blowing content, news, exercises,
and weird experiments you can do at home, and a
lot more. On this edition of the show, muck Bang
A crazy night with pro eaters. How do they stuff
(01:31):
it in? This show is called Strange Things, And I
think this is a strange story because when you live
in Las Vegas like I do, there is always something
weird going on. And I got to attend an event
(01:52):
that it's very odd. How it all fell into place.
I got to attend an event here is one of
the strangest events I've ever been to.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Uh and that's.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Saying a lot. And I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you
about it because and and by the way, I if
I sound exhausted, it's because I was out late last
night and I wanted to to kind of tell you
about what happened as soon as possible while things are
still kind of fresh on my mind. I also recorded
(02:24):
some audio that I'm going to play for you that
will help to bring you there right beside me and
Lauren as we experienced this strange night for me to
talk about on strange things.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now. Right off the bat, I said, muckbang.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I'm willing to bet most of you don't know what
a muckbang is, and so I thought it was it
would get your attention if I threw the word muckbang
in there, even though it's it doesn't exactly apply to
what's happening right now.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
But if you spend any.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Time online watching videos about oh like professional eaters and
that kind of stuff, people who like compete with each
other who can eat the most food the shortest amount
of time, and so on. You may have come across
this word muckbang, and it actually comes from South Korea.
This is a trend that started in the twenty tens.
(03:24):
A muckbang is an online audio visual broadcast a video
where a host sits there in front of the camera
and consumes large amounts of food while interacting with a
live or even recorded audience. It's a combination of the
(03:44):
Korean words for eating, which is mucknan, and broadcast, which
is bang song. I don't know if I pronounced that right,
but it turns into muckbang, and it's that is an
odd thing in and of itself, because it seems like
the humans are so infatuated with eating, you know, It's
like that's been that's the thing. It's like when kings
(04:06):
want to get together and talk about a peacet reety,
they have a royal dinner, or you get together and
break bread with your friends and loved ones. Eating is
always considered kind of a communal thing that that sort
of makes people feel connected. And so there's this whole
community of muckbangers out there. These are people, and you're
(04:28):
just sitting there a home, not even necessarily eating anything yourself.
You're watching a person eat a lot of food and
they're just talking about whatever. They're just you know, bsing
about whatever comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's what a muckbang is.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And I think that's a good example of why there
is something kind of odd and dare I say, even
mystical about eating, and therefore I have always been absolutely
fascinated by watching videos of these professional competitive eaters. There
are a ton of them now who have YouTube channels,
(05:04):
and a typical video would be like, you know, you, you
sit there and somebody like, for example, Adam uh from
there's a guy, I'll be talking about him.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
More a little bit later. What is his last name?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, he he there's this English guy and he has
he's he's actually quite short, and he's a he's a
little man. He's very very fit, but he is a
he is a small man and I should have looked
up his name in advance. But he has a big, long,
puffy beard and he if In fact, if you have
(05:48):
any sort of knowledge about like the English pirate black Beard,
I imagine that this is sort of what black Beard
looked like, except black Beard was a big intimidating guy,
and this guy, Adam Adam Moran, who goes by his
channels called Beard meets Food has millions and millions of viewers,
and basically, you know, a typical video might be fifteen
(06:09):
minutes where he finds a place that has a food
challenge and he travels all over the world and he'll
sit down and he'll maybe they have a gigantic pizza
or the biggest bowl apasta you've ever seen or whatever,
and there's a time limit and he has to sit
there and you know, scarf this stuff down and he's
giving like funny commentary at the same time. He usually wins,
(06:30):
and it's amazing every time because again he's not a
big dude. And this has become so popular that many
of these professional competitive eaters, I think they make most
of their money off of YouTube views. It's not just
about collecting prizes at eating competitions.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And there are a lot of them that do this.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
There is a guy named Bob Stout or goes by
the Notorious Bob. I'll be talking more about him later.
There is Brandon the garbage disposal Clark. I've mentioned him before.
There are a lot of about them out there, and
sometimes it's about just how much they can consume, and
sometimes it's about how much they can consume in a
certain period of time. But it's always to me it's
(07:14):
superhuman because I don't know, I do not know how
that they do it. I mean physiologically, how that they
do it. I'll give you some examples. This guy Notorious Bob,
I actually got to meet him again. I'll talk about
him later. He ate twenty three point four pounds in
(07:39):
six minutes. On another occasion, he ate fifty nine point
six pounds in four hours.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Joey Chestnut, you probably know his name.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
He might be the most famous competitive eater because he's
always eating the hot dogs. He ate fifteen zero point
seventy five pounds of boloona boloney in eight minutes. By
the way, I'm giving out a lot of measurements on
this show, and sometimes I'll be able to tell you
in kilograms and meters, and sometimes I want that would
take up too much time for me to convert everything.
(08:18):
And then you have like, for example, this guy kelvin Medina,
he ate an entire twelve inch pizza in twenty three seconds.
I mean, this is the kind of stuff I'm talking about.
And I have actually seen videos where sometimes people participate
in these things and they end up having to go
to the hospital and they get in some very serious trouble.
(08:41):
And in fact, my wife Lauren recently showed me some
X rays that were taken at some point of a
professional eater right after eating some enormous amount, and that
the stomach is so expanded inside the you know, the
tour so that all the other vital organs are just
(09:04):
smushed into little things up against the bones. And I mean,
it looks horrible, and I just don't know how that
these people are able to do this over and over again,
especially since some of them are very small. And I'll
give you again, I'm going to get into this and
give you some examples later. Maybe one of the reasons
(09:25):
that I'm so fascinated by how they are able to
shove in so much food like this is because it's
I cannot relate to it at all. I've always had
digestive problems my whole life, and I hardly ever finish
an entire meal. Hardly ever, And which is weird because
you think i'd be slim. But now that I'm getting
(09:48):
I'm starting to get old. Okay, Now, it's like I'm
always trying to lose like twenty pounds, and you know,
it's just you know how it is, you know how
it is, So I just can't imagine having the ability
to do that. And what's funny is that a part
of you thinks, like that must be wonderful to be
(10:10):
able to sit down and just cram all this stuff
you enjoy in your mouth like that. But then oftentimes,
you know, you talk to some of them afterward, like
I did the other night, and they're like, I'm going
straight to my hotel room. I feel terrible, and which
which brings me to what I got to do, because
I was surprised to find out recently that there was
(10:32):
going to be an event the night before the Super
Bowl here in Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel in
downtown Las Vegas called Wing Bowl twenty twenty six. Wing
Bowl twenty twenty six. This is an event that took
place for years in Philadelphia, I believe, where it's like
(10:55):
all these people get together and these competitive eaters and
they have two or three rounds and they see who
can eat the most wings in a certain time period
like ten minutes, and then at the end, the winner
gets a big check for thousands of dollars, and this
for some reason fizzled out in Philadelphia, but they decided
(11:15):
to reboot this whole thing here in Las Vegas. And
so guess what, Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Got two tickets.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I got one for myself one for Lauren. We went
to the Plaza Hotel the night before Super Bowl. We
had a great dinner ourselves, which I'll tell you a
little bit about, and then we made our way in
to watch one of the strangest events I've seen. And
so I figured, you know what, if I thought this
(11:45):
was interesting, I think you'll find it interesting as well.
So we'll dig into that when I come back. You know,
you never know what we're going to get into on
this show.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I liked it.

(12:43):
you are listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and
Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will
be right back. Welcome back to Strange Things on the
(13:32):
iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast a M Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in
Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden
and every night is silver. A gietato zoom and yesternight
before the Super Bowl, Lauren and I decided to spend
(14:01):
our evening at the Plaza Hotel and Casino right there
near Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. And the show
the competition was going to start at seven pm, and
so I made us dinner reservations beforehand. At five point
fifteen pm. At this fancy steakhouse there on the property
(14:25):
called Oscar's Steakhouse. And let me tell you a little
bit about who Oscar is. For one thing, one of
my favorite movies is the movie Casino that was made
in I want to say nineteen ninety five. I did
(14:47):
all this prep for this show, and I can't find anything.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
On my notes.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, nineteen ninety five, and the movie starred well, For
one thing, it was directed by Martin Scorsese, and it
starred Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. And
this is a true story about some you know, mob
activity that was taking place here in Las Vegas back
(15:13):
in I guess the nineteen seventies and eighties. It's been
a while since I've seen the movie, but it is
one of my favorites. If you've never seen the movie Casino,
you'll probably enjoy, especially if you're into, you know, gangster
Scorsese type movies. But what's funny is that when the
actual gangster is involved in the movie, portrayed by Robert
De Niro and Joe Pesci, when they were on trial
(15:36):
and getting into trouble here in Las Vegas back in
the day, a man named Oscar Goodman was their lawyer
and he became known as the mob attorney, but he was,
and he he played himself in the movie Casino, which
is crazy, but I guess because that he got so
(15:59):
well connected being a mob lawyer for years, he ended
up becoming the mayor of Las Vegas. And as a
matter of fact, let's see here says he was born
in nineteen thirty nine and he's eighty six years old
right now. Attorney and politician, Democrat turned independent mayor of
(16:21):
Las Vegas from nineteen ninety nine to two thousand and one.
And then his wife became the mayor, Carolyn Goodman, and
she was the mayor up until just recently. I think
they have term limits on mayors here.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So how about that the.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Goodmans went from you know, representing mobsters back in the day,
or at least Goodman did, to the Goodman's representing the
politics here.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
In fact. So okay, So there is this restaurant.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
That was in the movie Casino, and the restaurant I
think it was called the Center Stage back in the day,
and the restaurant is absolutely amazing because it's it's really
a unique dining experience. The main dining room inside the
(17:12):
plaza is within this giant glass dome, so.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And I mean it just looks magnificent.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
So as you're sitting there eating in this nice, like
dim candlelight environment there, uh, you're you're looking out all
these windows and you see all the lights and you
see Fremont Street, and I mean, it's it's really kind
of a magical place to dine. It's certainly not a
cheap place, kind of a magical place. But they eventually
changed the name to Oscar's Las Vegas Steakhouse in honor
(17:43):
of Oscar Goodman. So, uh, we I got reservations there.
And as a matter of fact, I'm gonna gonna play
a little bit of a little bit of audio from
the ambience in there as I'm talking. They took me
and Lauren to this beautiful little booth by the way,
before I forget. It's kind of funny because at the
(18:05):
end of the dinner, I got up and went to
the bathroom, and when I was standing at the urinal,
there was like a little plaque there with a quote
by Oscar Goodman, and the quote was, there is no such.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Thing as the mob. That's the kind of lawyer he was.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
So anyway, you know, it was a Saturday night and
they had like the A team there, right, So they
set us down to this beautiful booth and Lauren had
the filet mignon. I had the Lamb Shops with a
baked potato. We split a Caesar salad, glass of wine.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Perfect. Everything was delicious.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
But the thing that I thought was most unusual about
that experience is that when I made the reservation, I
was not able to pick a particular seat, and.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
So they took us straight to this booth with a
perfect view of everything.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
And then the waiter pointed out that there was a
brass plaque on that booth, and I was like, oh really,
So I looked over it, and that booth was in
the movie Casino. There is a scene in the movie
where Robert de Niro is sitting there having dinner with
(19:27):
Sharon Stone. And I haven't gone back and watched the
movie again. I'm sure they're probably arguing. They did a
lot of arguing and fighting in that movie. But I
was like, how crazy is that. I've never been here before,
been meaning to go for years, just never got around
to it. There's so much stuff to do here. Lauren
and I go there.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
We sit down and lo and behold, we.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Are at this famous booth where this movie scene was
shot for Casino. I love it when things happen like that,
and I knew, like tonight things are gonna crackle synchronousit
thees on my.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Side, and it was so.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
We had again excellent food there, and then right about
on time, we made our way to the showroom for
Wing Bowl twenty twenty six. It was co hosted by
a local reporter named Mike and also the dude the
food eater I was telling you about, named Adam Moran,
who goes by Beard eats a beard meets food on YouTube.
(20:29):
He wasn't eating, though, he was just co hosting this.
So they had about fifteen different competitors up on a stage.
There was that fella I was telling you about named
Bob Stout, the Notorious Bob, and some people thought he
(20:50):
was going to win. I mean, the guy is six
foot two. He probably weighs i'd say, close to three
hundred pounds. I don't want to, I don't want to,
you know, make up anything, but he's the guy who
eight twenty three point four pounds of food and six minutes.
The guy ate thirty nine crystal burgers in two minutes.
He's bald, he has a goatee, and he's got a belly,
and he looks like a man who can eat. So
(21:12):
I thought Notorious Bob was gonna beat everybody. But the
number one pick was this lady who I believe is
in her forties, a mother of four, who actually had
won the last Wing Bowl and some of the previous ones.
Her name is Molly Schuyler, and she is, from what
(21:35):
I can find online, five foot seven and just slim
as a rail and uh at one point so five'
seven is one point five meters and they say that
she weighed one hundred and twenty five pounds at one
of her victories. That's fifty six kilograms, So Bob stout is,
(21:56):
you know, closer to like one point eight meters six
feet to six whatever. And then three hundred pounds, which
is like one hundred and thirty six kilograms. And you
know what, this woman, Molly Skuyler, she has won so
many times, She's done this eating stuff so much. She
has an esophagill hernia. If you want to know what
(22:17):
that is, you know, google it. And so here we
have like the top two picks to win this thing.
Are this big ball headed like six six foot two,
possibly three hundred pound guy, and then this slim five
foot seven woman. But there is this other professional eater
that I watch on YouTube a lot. Her name is
(22:39):
Katina de Jarnat and she is five foot two, that's
one point five meters. She's just a small, tiny thing
and I don't know how much she weighs, but she's
just the littlest, petite thing. And it's even more impressive
when you see these small people, especially small ladies, stuff
all this food away, because you're like, where is it going?
(23:00):
How is it possible? This is not hurting your internal organs.
It's superhuman. One of the other competitors there was this
big bald guy who is the second strongest man in Finland,
Jesse Pennanon. This guy, big bald guy, six foot five,
(23:26):
three hundred and thirty pounds, that's about two meters tall,
one hundred forty nine kilos. He in Finland. He is
the national champ of arm wrestling. The guy can squat
five hundred and one pounds, he can bench four hundred
and seventy nine pounds, he can deadlift six hundred pounds.
(23:47):
To give you an idea of reference. You know, five
hundred pounds in kilos is like two hundred and twenty
six kilograms. Because people listen to this show all over
the world, and so I do try to give some
converts if helpful, And you know, for something like a
show like this, I mean it's kind of helpful to
envision like the size of these people versus how much
(24:08):
they're supposed to eat. How many chicken wings are you
going to be able to eat in a short period
of time? And by the way, you know the chicken
wing if you really are not certain about that, it's
an unbreaded chicken wing like a drum met. Generally deep fried,
even though I've had some great baked ones coated or
(24:29):
dipped in sauce consisting of a vinegar based maybe cayenne pepper,
hot sauce, melted butter. Usually you get them with like
some ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery or carrot stick.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And their name for.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Buffalo, New York, no relation to the animal the buffalo,
where they were kind of invented, and they're a variety
of stories about how they were invented. But one of
the first restaurants that really started carrying. It was the
Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York. Really really good.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Up on a break. When we come back, you'll hear
more about what happened. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening
to Strange Things on.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
The iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be back after these important messages.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Welcome back to Strange Things.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
On the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Parahinormal
Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua Whipe Warren, and this
is the show where the unusual becomes usual. There were
lots of interesting people at this event, whether or not
they were competing. For example, well, you know Dana White,
(26:19):
who founded the UFC, the Ultimate Fighting Championship here in
Las Vegas. He is worth an untold fortune. I actually
was in a room one time where he was standing
right next to me gambling, but I didn't get to
talk to him.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Anyway. You may or may not know that.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
He recently created this whole new I guess you call
it a league or whatever. It's called power slap where
these two people will stand in front of each other,
could be guys, could be gals, whatever, and one person
just slaps the crap out of the other person's face,
(27:02):
and then you know, that person recovers and then they
slap the crap out of the the opponent's face, and
this goes on until somebody gets knocked out or you know,
the judges are like, you've had enough. You know, I
can't imagine the brain damage from this because like they're
not guarding their face or anything. At least in boxing
you can kind of like try to shield your face.
(27:22):
It's insane. They brought this guy up on stage who
is at one time he was ranked as the number
one slap fight champion in the world. His name is
Vernon Cassie, two hundred and five pound guy, ninety two kilograms.
(27:43):
He got up there and talked about what it was
like to slap the crap.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Out of people.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
So you had all these very you know, interesting people.
By the way, that guy was telling you who was
the second strongest man in Finland, Jesse Pinion or whatever.
They said that he also is the national champion of
arm wrestling in Finland. So you know, you have all
these like oddball people. The entire head of the Plaza Hotel,
(28:09):
the CEO was there in the room and he and
I had a you know, a brief Hey, hi you, Dawn.
He patted me on the back. That was kind of interesting.
Jonathan Jossel he the CEO of the Plaza Hotel and Casino.
He is a historic figure. He's an Englishman, very clean cut,
proper englishman. Became the youngest non restricted gaming license holder
(28:34):
in Nevada. He earned his gaming license at the age
of twenty seven. And he's I think he's only like
forty years old now. So he's always doing innovative stuff
there at the Plaza. For example, they have and by
the way, the Plaza does not sponsor or endorse this show.
Don't get that in your head. I wish they would,
(28:55):
that would be nice. But like, they have a section
that he put in. It's a non smoky gambling section
that only has copyright free music so that YouTubers can
film without having to worry about copyright strikes. And he
has a podcast they do. They're and all kinds of
like innovative stuff. So anyway, Adam Moran, the guy Beard
(29:16):
meets Food, I'm just gonna call him Beard rather, you know,
short fella. I'm sure he probably doesn't want to be
called that, but I'm sorry. I'm six too, So he
very very fit. He's got the long black beard. He's
wearing a backward baseball cap. He's an Englishman. He's standing
up there on stage next to his co host Mike Davis,
(29:37):
who is sort of like the sports guy from the
local TV station Fox five. They're hosting this thing.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
And well, here you go. Here's here's how it started out.
Here's some audio I recorded for you ladies and.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Gentlemen from Fox five.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Here it is mister Mike Davis, and you guys know.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
This competitive eater.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
He goes by.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Beard meets food Adam Burran, Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Wow, so honored to have you guys here. Who's ready
for wingball Las Vegas. You know this guy right here?
Beard needs food. I struggle to get my grandmother to
follow me on Instagram. This guy he's got seven million
followers about on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
This is big time stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
We're gonna be coming to you live on YouTube live
here from the Plaza Hotel and Casino.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Give it up for the Plaza. Now, obviously, this is
an event. Twenty six years in Philadelphia, this.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Event happened, and now, yes, I'm a Jersey Philly boy,
but we're bringing the spirit of Las Vegas shooting a
plaza for wingbow gooberts.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I saw that right there. All right, so this is
what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Let me give you guys a run a show, because
although this is all about wings, we're not winging anything
tonight here, Okay, So Adam and I are gonna be
breaking down the competition. We got fifteen competitive eaters. They're
all trying to get ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
That's what the winner is gonna get tonight. Actually I
think it's five thousand, five thousand dollars fun.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
But in their hearts it we'll bet ten. Second place
is gonna get fifteen hundred. But we got some people
that have competed against Joey chesnutt. We have people who
have beaten Joey Chestnut, and Adam.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
You have competed against Joey Chestnut very very cool a
few times. But yeah, I'm familiar with Joey. A lot
of these guys on there compete with a lot of times.
I'm gonna bringing that level of your best feed tonight.
How long has this beer been in the baking at him?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I forget what my face looks like underneath the big
like what I've had this for at least twelve years.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Now, at least.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
So they started bringing up each of the competitors on
the stage, and again the number one pick to win
was this lady named Molly Skuyler. But I didn't bet
on this. But if I were going to bet, I
would have bet on Bob Stout. Notorious Bob, the big
bald guy with the mustache, who's like over six feet tall,
(32:38):
who's like almost three hundred pounds, who eats insane amounts
of stuff. That's who I would have bet on if
I had bet so just because you know, he's such
an epic person. Here, here's what he said when he
came out on stage when they when they presented the
Notorious Bob.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
All right, that shot.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
He's one of the all time greats when it comes
to competitive eating. He won Creball twenty five back in
twenty seventeen. He has multiple Major League eating victories, world records.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
He's participated in.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Wing ball about eight times, and now he's coming back
to win it all again. His name is Bob Shout,
but you know him as Notorious. Let's just be real here,
everybody in the audience needs to know you have beaten
Joey Chesnut. You beat him when it comes to lobster
(33:42):
chilli spaghetti competitions. You've done so much.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
You've beaten twenty.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Three point four pounds of food in six minutes.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
At one time.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
How do you do?
Speaker 5 (33:54):
How can you become so prolific? Let's just complete. You
just gotta train, you gotta go to Buffet's. Is the
nest putform you know?
Speaker 1 (34:05):
This is keep going right, and this is what I
want to know when you beating Look this guy, there's
people that are your fanboys that are.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Actually eating beside you. That's how big of a deal
you are.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Is there a potential you can get too cocky tonight
because you're thinking, I've.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Been to the highest of the high. Can you get
too cocky and get out of your zone? It's possible.
I got this crew down here. These gay guys are
animals here rank from my table. So we're probably getting
a little bit cocky, but I try to ring there,
stay focused on the Whigs the CP.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I believe Notorious Bob is from Pennsylvania. I think so.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
But anyway, so they had their first round. This's been
on for I don't know, i'd say at least three hours.
Uh in Like the first round was ten minutes, and
then I don't know how long the second round was.
I had to step out, I'll tell you about that.
And then like the the final round was five minutes
among the two last people standing. But they would had
they had breaks for they had entertainment for one thing,
(35:08):
they had this band from Los Angeles called Trapped, but
you know, that's that's fine.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
But then they had some really weird shows.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Like at one point they had somebody dresses a chicken
come out on stage and do this giant routine with
hula hoops. And then later on, all of a sudden,
they had a burlesque routine. A woman named Kiki Maroon.
She came out and it was a I mean, I'm
(35:39):
telling you, it was a full blown burlesque where she's
stripping down and if they opened the curtain and she
had one of these giant balloon dogs. You know, you
may have seen those sculptures. They're worth a ton of money.
And she gets on top of this balloon dog and
she's riding it like a bull, and she's undressing and
(36:00):
she got right down to you know, the pasties As
a matter of fact, we noticed that Beard was I
think he was embarrassed by it because he was he
was sort.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Of looking away.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
To be honest with you, the whole show was actually awkward.
And what made it even more weird as they said,
when the show is over, we're gonna have free shuttles outside,
and you jump in the shuttle and we're gonna take
everybody down the road to a strip club, a full
nude strip club called Peppermint Hippo for an after party.
(36:33):
And so I didn't do that. I'm too old to
do that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I don't have the energy, niem. I don't have anything
against it. I just I was tired. I needed to
go home and sleep.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
By the way, but I understand that Peppermint Hippo was
the name of a strip club in a south Park episode,
and so the guy who opened that club named it
after the south Park episode, but the south Park episode
named it on some other club called the Something Rhino. Look,
(37:09):
I don't want to go down that rabbit hole, but
I want to give you an idea of like just
how like unusual this evening was. Let me come back.
I'm going to tell you how it turned out. In
the meantime, I had to go well, just when I
got up in the middle of the show and I
went somewhere and something happened. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're
(37:32):
listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM para normal podcast Network, and I will be
right back.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
Of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. And I stayed
for this.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Whole event, and like I say, I wouldn't be surprised
if it was like at least three hours.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I kind of lost track of time.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
I was into it, but at some point in the
middle I needed to go use the restroom and I
had so I had to go outside of the venue.
Lauren stayed behind kept our seats safe. I used the
bathroom and I wanted another drink, so I stopped by
this bar there in the plaza and ordered my drink.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
There was a.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Gambling machine there on the counter, so while I was
waiting for the drink, I pulled a little money into
the machine. Video poker hit the button a few times, Boom,
I hit a two thousand dollars jackpot. Now, before this
year twenty twenty six, if you hit twelve hundred dollars
or more on a machine like that, that's called a
(39:22):
hand pay, So you have to wait around for them
to come out, get your ID, your Social Security number,
you fill out tax forms, and then they give you
the cash. They changed it this year so that now
they've increased it to two thousand dollars. So if I'd
hit one nine hundred ninety nine dollars, I could have
cashed that out and gone right back into the theater.
(39:43):
But no, I hit two thousand dollars, So now I
have to sit around and wait for them to come
out and do all that. And this was the longest
hand pay wait. It was like thirty minutes. I'm sitting
at the bar waiting for them to do all this
and bring me the money. In the meantime, Saturday night,
downtown Vegas, there's a young lady who sees that I've
(40:04):
just hit two thousand dollars, and boy did she start
culling up to me awful fast and so and you know,
and when that kind of thing happens.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
It doesn't matter. You can say you're married. I don't
they like it.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
They're like, oh, this guy's married, he's not going to
give me any trouble. So anyway, I had to kill
thirty minutes with this woman who was pulling every trick
in a book to get her hand in my wallet.
I don't know, maybe she was just she was just
being nice. But anyway, so finally I go back and side,
(40:40):
Like I say, all kinds of crazy things have been.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Happening with the.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Burlesque show and everything else, But finally it came down
to the end, and guess what. Not surprisingly, it's the big,
the big bald guy toorius Bob, and it's the slim
five foot seven woman Mollie Skyler. Here is audio from
the end of the competition.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Who do you think won?
Speaker 5 (41:08):
Three true one? That's it, last.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Wing in the bucket, A great display of sportsmanship from
Bob to Molly.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
And that is its, ladies and gentlemen, the final showdown.
We're gonna have to see what this ends up being.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
As our judges get fast to work, they take the
buckets of wings.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
We're gonna wait them. They're gonna make every sure everything
is kosher. We have a laptop front and center. The
calculations will be.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Made with a total of one hundred and eighty nine
complete wings. The twenty twenty six Las Vegas Wing Bowl
champion is.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
Still Molly Schuler. There we go, Vegas.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
So there you have it.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
The slim woman won the whole darn thing with one
hundred and eighty nine wings, and in fact, in the past,
I'm pretty sure she's eaten a lot more than that,
well over two hundred wings. So that's why I think
there's something superhuman about all this. That's why I'm so
intrigued by it. And so afterward they came out and
(42:37):
they just were handing out baskets of wings left and
right to the crowd. And so they gave me a
Lauren a basket of wings that was probably like ten pounds,
it was so heavy. And I actually got in a
room there that night, even though I live here in Vegas.
Sometimes I like to get a room as just like
a base camp. So we left the event, we went
(42:59):
up to the room, we dropped off the wings. We
also had some leftovers from dinner earlier because there was
a fridge in the room, and then we went back
down to the casino, decided to gamble and play a
little bit more, and probably like an hour had gone by,
and at that point we were walking across the casino
(43:20):
floor and Lauren goes, oh, look there they are, and
I turned and I almost ran into Beard and Notorious
b O b. They were coming down the steps and
I had no intention of actually meeting them or talking
to them or anything like that. But again I almost
like stumbled right into them. And so I was like,
(43:42):
I guess it was destined for me to meet these guys.
It's so weird how again that kind of synchronosy was happening.
So I just told him, I said, you guys, you know,
they don't know who the heck I am. I just said,
you know, I'm Joshua. This is my wife, Lauren. We
live here in Vegas. I watch your videos all the time.
I just want to thank you for all the entertains
and I find it amazing what you do, you know.
(44:02):
And they were super nice, shook their hands and very
exhausted though very and I also think they were both
kind of weirded out by how like odd that event was.
And then you know, Notorious Bob he also had just lost.
He just came in second place, so I'm sure he
wasn't super happy about that. But so I didn't record
(44:23):
my conversation with them. It felt very like it would
be inappropriate if I just whipped out a recorder and
put it up in their face and started asking them questions.
But I did take the opportunity to ask one question.
I said to Beard and to Notorious Bob, I said,
I find what.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
You guys do so amazing.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
How do you think it's possible that you can eat
such an enormous amount of food in a short period
of time without it damaging, like immediately damaging your internal organs.
And Adam looks to Bob and says, I'll let him
take that. And I could kind of tell that the
question seemed maybe maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed like
(45:02):
that was a little irritating to him, maybe because that
he gets asked that kind of thing so much. But
he basically said, and it was loud, so I didn't hear.
He basically said, like, you know, it's just he says,
everybody's different, you know, he goes, it's just like training,
and he points over to the guy from Finland. He says,
you know, this guy can lift, you know, bench five
(45:24):
hundred pounds. If we tried to do that, you know,
we might die. And he's just like, you know, it's
like everybody's got different, different genetics, and you know, you
work on it, and he was just kind of like
I felt blowing it off. And and again nothing against him,
but my feeling was that this guy may not have
(45:48):
really any idea how absolutely amazing it is to me
what they do that it's it's because they've done it
for so long and they don't even really think about
the physiology of it because they have these kind of
superhuman genes. But they again, very nice, and I was
(46:10):
happy I got to have the interaction with him. I
got to meet two guys I watch on YouTube all
the time, and it was a great evening. And then
you know, after that, Lauren and I came home and
we started eating wings, and I still have wings to
eat for like the next three days. I'll tell you
a quick food story before the clock gets us. Elvis
Presley was the king of this town, and sometimes you
(46:34):
go to restaurants where they have what's called the Elvis sandwich.
Elvis died when he was forty two, they say his
heart was like double the size it was supposed to be,
so he basically died of heart failure, but that was
compounded by drugs he would use to to stay energized,
(46:55):
as well as his eating habits. Because Elvis was six
feet tall and at one point he was three hundred
and fifty pounds, pretty pretty amazing how heavy he got.
And one of the reasons is because he would like
the elvisburger, and I ordered one this morning, and like this,
you do not want to make a habit out of
eating the elvisberger. But here's here's what the Elvis the
(47:17):
Elvis sandwich, not burger. Here's what it is. You take
two pieces of white bread, you toast them a little bit,
and then when they come out of the toastree, you
spread some butter on it, you know, and then you
spread a nice stick layer of peanut butter, and then
you slice up some bananas and put in there, and
then you put down a bunch of strips of bacon,
(47:40):
and then maybe if you're really feeling like you want
to have the ultimate drizzle little molasses on there, squeeze
that thing together.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Oh dude, it's good, it's good.
Speaker 4 (47:51):
It's very hard to lose weight in this town. I
am not recommending you make the Elvis sandwich. I'm just
telling you I had one today. I ate about half
of it and then I was like, I'm throwing the
rest of this a way because this is.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Just not good for me.
Speaker 4 (48:08):
And I actually have another Elvis story that I'm going
to share with you on a future show. Maybe I
can squeeze this in next week or whatever. I have
a brand new addition to my collection of unusual things,
and it is an Elvis artifact and it's you know,
it fits in to Las Vegas. His most famous movie
(48:32):
was called Viva Las Vegas. By the time he died
at forty two, he had made thirty one movies. One
of them was Viva Las Vegas. All right, folks, around
of time, if you can close your eyes, take a
deep breath, relax, let us all meditate together on the
good Fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.

A crazy night with pro eaters. How do they stuff
(01:31):
it in? This show is called Strange Things, And I
think this is a strange story because when you live
in Las Vegas like I do, there is always something
weird going on. And I got to attend an event
(01:52):
that it's very odd. How it all fell into place.
I got to attend an event here is one of
the strangest events I've ever been to.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Uh and that's.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Saying a lot. And I'm gonna I'm gonna tell you
about it because and and by the way, I if
I sound exhausted, it's because I was out late last
night and I wanted to to kind of tell you
about what happened as soon as possible while things are
still kind of fresh on my mind. I also recorded
(02:24):
some audio that I'm going to play for you that
will help to bring you there right beside me and
Lauren as we experienced this strange night for me to
talk about on strange things.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Now. Right off the bat, I said, muckbang.
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I'm willing to bet most of you don't know what
a muckbang is, and so I thought it was it
would get your attention if I threw the word muckbang
in there, even though it's it doesn't exactly apply to
what's happening right now.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
But if you spend any.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
Time online watching videos about oh like professional eaters and
that kind of stuff, people who like compete with each
other who can eat the most food the shortest amount
of time, and so on. You may have come across
this word muckbang, and it actually comes from South Korea.
This is a trend that started in the twenty tens.
(03:24):
A muckbang is an online audio visual broadcast a video
where a host sits there in front of the camera
and consumes large amounts of food while interacting with a
live or even recorded audience. It's a combination of the
(03:44):
Korean words for eating, which is mucknan, and broadcast, which
is bang song. I don't know if I pronounced that right,
but it turns into muckbang, and it's that is an
odd thing in and of itself, because it seems like
the humans are so infatuated with eating, you know, It's
like that's been that's the thing. It's like when kings
(04:06):
want to get together and talk about a peacet reety,
they have a royal dinner, or you get together and
break bread with your friends and loved ones. Eating is
always considered kind of a communal thing that that sort
of makes people feel connected. And so there's this whole
community of muckbangers out there. These are people, and you're
(04:28):
just sitting there a home, not even necessarily eating anything yourself.
You're watching a person eat a lot of food and
they're just talking about whatever. They're just you know, bsing
about whatever comes to mind.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
That's what a muckbang is.
Speaker 4 (04:42):
And I think that's a good example of why there
is something kind of odd and dare I say, even
mystical about eating, and therefore I have always been absolutely
fascinated by watching videos of these professional competitive eaters. There
are a ton of them now who have YouTube channels,
(05:04):
and a typical video would be like, you know, you, you
sit there and somebody like, for example, Adam uh from
there's a guy, I'll be talking about him.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
More a little bit later. What is his last name?
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, he he there's this English guy and he has
he's he's actually quite short, and he's a he's a
little man. He's very very fit, but he is a
he is a small man and I should have looked
up his name in advance. But he has a big, long,
puffy beard and he if In fact, if you have
(05:48):
any sort of knowledge about like the English pirate black Beard,
I imagine that this is sort of what black Beard
looked like, except black Beard was a big intimidating guy,
and this guy, Adam Adam Moran, who goes by his
channels called Beard meets Food has millions and millions of viewers,
and basically, you know, a typical video might be fifteen
(06:09):
minutes where he finds a place that has a food
challenge and he travels all over the world and he'll
sit down and he'll maybe they have a gigantic pizza
or the biggest bowl apasta you've ever seen or whatever,
and there's a time limit and he has to sit
there and you know, scarf this stuff down and he's
giving like funny commentary at the same time. He usually wins,
(06:30):
and it's amazing every time because again he's not a
big dude. And this has become so popular that many
of these professional competitive eaters, I think they make most
of their money off of YouTube views. It's not just
about collecting prizes at eating competitions.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
And there are a lot of them that do this.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
There is a guy named Bob Stout or goes by
the Notorious Bob. I'll be talking more about him later.
There is Brandon the garbage disposal Clark. I've mentioned him before.
There are a lot of about them out there, and
sometimes it's about just how much they can consume, and
sometimes it's about how much they can consume in a
certain period of time. But it's always to me it's
(07:14):
superhuman because I don't know, I do not know how
that they do it. I mean physiologically, how that they
do it. I'll give you some examples. This guy Notorious Bob,
I actually got to meet him again. I'll talk about
him later. He ate twenty three point four pounds in
(07:39):
six minutes. On another occasion, he ate fifty nine point
six pounds in four hours.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Joey Chestnut, you probably know his name.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
He might be the most famous competitive eater because he's
always eating the hot dogs. He ate fifteen zero point
seventy five pounds of boloona boloney in eight minutes. By
the way, I'm giving out a lot of measurements on
this show, and sometimes I'll be able to tell you
in kilograms and meters, and sometimes I want that would
take up too much time for me to convert everything.
(08:18):
And then you have like, for example, this guy kelvin Medina,
he ate an entire twelve inch pizza in twenty three seconds.
I mean, this is the kind of stuff I'm talking about.
And I have actually seen videos where sometimes people participate
in these things and they end up having to go
to the hospital and they get in some very serious trouble.
(08:41):
And in fact, my wife Lauren recently showed me some
X rays that were taken at some point of a
professional eater right after eating some enormous amount, and that
the stomach is so expanded inside the you know, the
tour so that all the other vital organs are just
(09:04):
smushed into little things up against the bones. And I mean,
it looks horrible, and I just don't know how that
these people are able to do this over and over again,
especially since some of them are very small. And I'll
give you again, I'm going to get into this and
give you some examples later. Maybe one of the reasons
(09:25):
that I'm so fascinated by how they are able to
shove in so much food like this is because it's
I cannot relate to it at all. I've always had
digestive problems my whole life, and I hardly ever finish
an entire meal. Hardly ever, And which is weird because
you think i'd be slim. But now that I'm getting
(09:48):
I'm starting to get old. Okay, Now, it's like I'm
always trying to lose like twenty pounds, and you know,
it's just you know how it is, you know how
it is, So I just can't imagine having the ability
to do that. And what's funny is that a part
of you thinks, like that must be wonderful to be
(10:10):
able to sit down and just cram all this stuff
you enjoy in your mouth like that. But then oftentimes,
you know, you talk to some of them afterward, like
I did the other night, and they're like, I'm going
straight to my hotel room. I feel terrible, and which
which brings me to what I got to do, because
I was surprised to find out recently that there was
(10:32):
going to be an event the night before the Super
Bowl here in Las Vegas at the Plaza Hotel in
downtown Las Vegas called Wing Bowl twenty twenty six. Wing
Bowl twenty twenty six. This is an event that took
place for years in Philadelphia, I believe, where it's like
(10:55):
all these people get together and these competitive eaters and
they have two or three rounds and they see who
can eat the most wings in a certain time period
like ten minutes, and then at the end, the winner
gets a big check for thousands of dollars, and this
for some reason fizzled out in Philadelphia, but they decided
(11:15):
to reboot this whole thing here in Las Vegas. And
so guess what, Yes, I.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Got two tickets.
Speaker 4 (11:24):
I got one for myself one for Lauren. We went
to the Plaza Hotel the night before Super Bowl. We
had a great dinner ourselves, which I'll tell you a
little bit about, and then we made our way in
to watch one of the strangest events I've seen. And
so I figured, you know what, if I thought this
(11:45):
was interesting, I think you'll find it interesting as well.
So we'll dig into that when I come back. You know,
you never know what we're going to get into on
this show.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
I liked it.

Joshua Pwarren dot com. I am Joshua pe Warren, and
(12:43):
you are listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and
Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network, and I will
be right back. Welcome back to Strange Things on the
(13:32):
iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast a M Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
I am your host, the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Warren, beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio in
Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada, where every day is golden
and every night is silver. A gietato zoom and yesternight
before the Super Bowl, Lauren and I decided to spend
(14:01):
our evening at the Plaza Hotel and Casino right there
near Fremont Street in downtown Las Vegas. And the show
the competition was going to start at seven pm, and
so I made us dinner reservations beforehand. At five point
fifteen pm. At this fancy steakhouse there on the property
(14:25):
called Oscar's Steakhouse. And let me tell you a little
bit about who Oscar is. For one thing, one of
my favorite movies is the movie Casino that was made
in I want to say nineteen ninety five. I did
(14:47):
all this prep for this show, and I can't find anything.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
On my notes.
Speaker 4 (14:50):
Yeah, nineteen ninety five, and the movie starred well, For
one thing, it was directed by Martin Scorsese, and it
starred Robert De Niro, Joe Pesci, and Sharon Stone. And
this is a true story about some you know, mob
activity that was taking place here in Las Vegas back
(15:13):
in I guess the nineteen seventies and eighties. It's been
a while since I've seen the movie, but it is
one of my favorites. If you've never seen the movie Casino,
you'll probably enjoy, especially if you're into, you know, gangster
Scorsese type movies. But what's funny is that when the
actual gangster is involved in the movie, portrayed by Robert
De Niro and Joe Pesci, when they were on trial
(15:36):
and getting into trouble here in Las Vegas back in
the day, a man named Oscar Goodman was their lawyer
and he became known as the mob attorney, but he was,
and he he played himself in the movie Casino, which
is crazy, but I guess because that he got so
(15:59):
well connected being a mob lawyer for years, he ended
up becoming the mayor of Las Vegas. And as a
matter of fact, let's see here says he was born
in nineteen thirty nine and he's eighty six years old
right now. Attorney and politician, Democrat turned independent mayor of
(16:21):
Las Vegas from nineteen ninety nine to two thousand and one.
And then his wife became the mayor, Carolyn Goodman, and
she was the mayor up until just recently. I think
they have term limits on mayors here.
Speaker 2 (16:33):
So how about that the.
Speaker 4 (16:34):
Goodmans went from you know, representing mobsters back in the day,
or at least Goodman did, to the Goodman's representing the
politics here.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
In fact. So okay, So there is this restaurant.
Speaker 4 (16:50):
That was in the movie Casino, and the restaurant I
think it was called the Center Stage back in the day,
and the restaurant is absolutely amazing because it's it's really
a unique dining experience. The main dining room inside the
(17:12):
plaza is within this giant glass dome, so.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And I mean it just looks magnificent.
Speaker 4 (17:19):
So as you're sitting there eating in this nice, like
dim candlelight environment there, uh, you're you're looking out all
these windows and you see all the lights and you
see Fremont Street, and I mean, it's it's really kind
of a magical place to dine. It's certainly not a
cheap place, kind of a magical place. But they eventually
changed the name to Oscar's Las Vegas Steakhouse in honor
(17:43):
of Oscar Goodman. So, uh, we I got reservations there.
And as a matter of fact, I'm gonna gonna play
a little bit of a little bit of audio from
the ambience in there as I'm talking. They took me
and Lauren to this beautiful little booth by the way,
before I forget. It's kind of funny because at the
(18:05):
end of the dinner, I got up and went to
the bathroom, and when I was standing at the urinal,
there was like a little plaque there with a quote
by Oscar Goodman, and the quote was, there is no such.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Thing as the mob. That's the kind of lawyer he was.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
So anyway, you know, it was a Saturday night and
they had like the A team there, right, So they
set us down to this beautiful booth and Lauren had
the filet mignon. I had the Lamb Shops with a
baked potato. We split a Caesar salad, glass of wine.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Perfect. Everything was delicious.
Speaker 4 (18:50):
But the thing that I thought was most unusual about
that experience is that when I made the reservation, I
was not able to pick a particular seat, and.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
So they took us straight to this booth with a
perfect view of everything.
Speaker 4 (19:05):
And then the waiter pointed out that there was a
brass plaque on that booth, and I was like, oh really,
So I looked over it, and that booth was in
the movie Casino. There is a scene in the movie
where Robert de Niro is sitting there having dinner with
(19:27):
Sharon Stone. And I haven't gone back and watched the
movie again. I'm sure they're probably arguing. They did a
lot of arguing and fighting in that movie. But I
was like, how crazy is that. I've never been here before,
been meaning to go for years, just never got around
to it. There's so much stuff to do here. Lauren
and I go there.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
We sit down and lo and behold, we.
Speaker 4 (19:48):
Are at this famous booth where this movie scene was
shot for Casino. I love it when things happen like that,
and I knew, like tonight things are gonna crackle synchronousit
thees on my.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Side, and it was so.
Speaker 4 (20:03):
We had again excellent food there, and then right about
on time, we made our way to the showroom for
Wing Bowl twenty twenty six. It was co hosted by
a local reporter named Mike and also the dude the
food eater I was telling you about, named Adam Moran,
who goes by Beard eats a beard meets food on YouTube.
(20:29):
He wasn't eating, though, he was just co hosting this.
So they had about fifteen different competitors up on a stage.
There was that fella I was telling you about named
Bob Stout, the Notorious Bob, and some people thought he
(20:50):
was going to win. I mean, the guy is six
foot two. He probably weighs i'd say, close to three
hundred pounds. I don't want to, I don't want to,
you know, make up anything, but he's the guy who
eight twenty three point four pounds of food and six minutes.
The guy ate thirty nine crystal burgers in two minutes.
He's bald, he has a goatee, and he's got a belly,
and he looks like a man who can eat. So
(21:12):
I thought Notorious Bob was gonna beat everybody. But the
number one pick was this lady who I believe is
in her forties, a mother of four, who actually had
won the last Wing Bowl and some of the previous ones.
Her name is Molly Schuyler, and she is, from what
(21:35):
I can find online, five foot seven and just slim
as a rail and uh at one point so five'
seven is one point five meters and they say that
she weighed one hundred and twenty five pounds at one
of her victories. That's fifty six kilograms, So Bob stout is,
(21:56):
you know, closer to like one point eight meters six
feet to six whatever. And then three hundred pounds, which
is like one hundred and thirty six kilograms. And you
know what, this woman, Molly Skuyler, she has won so
many times, She's done this eating stuff so much. She
has an esophagill hernia. If you want to know what
(22:17):
that is, you know, google it. And so here we
have like the top two picks to win this thing.
Are this big ball headed like six six foot two,
possibly three hundred pound guy, and then this slim five
foot seven woman. But there is this other professional eater
that I watch on YouTube a lot. Her name is
(22:39):
Katina de Jarnat and she is five foot two, that's
one point five meters. She's just a small, tiny thing
and I don't know how much she weighs, but she's
just the littlest, petite thing. And it's even more impressive
when you see these small people, especially small ladies, stuff
all this food away, because you're like, where is it going?
(23:00):
How is it possible? This is not hurting your internal organs.
It's superhuman. One of the other competitors there was this
big bald guy who is the second strongest man in Finland,
Jesse Pennanon. This guy, big bald guy, six foot five,
(23:26):
three hundred and thirty pounds, that's about two meters tall,
one hundred forty nine kilos. He in Finland. He is
the national champ of arm wrestling. The guy can squat
five hundred and one pounds, he can bench four hundred
and seventy nine pounds, he can deadlift six hundred pounds.
(23:47):
To give you an idea of reference. You know, five
hundred pounds in kilos is like two hundred and twenty
six kilograms. Because people listen to this show all over
the world, and so I do try to give some
converts if helpful, And you know, for something like a
show like this, I mean it's kind of helpful to
envision like the size of these people versus how much
(24:08):
they're supposed to eat. How many chicken wings are you
going to be able to eat in a short period
of time? And by the way, you know the chicken
wing if you really are not certain about that, it's
an unbreaded chicken wing like a drum met. Generally deep fried,
even though I've had some great baked ones coated or
(24:29):
dipped in sauce consisting of a vinegar based maybe cayenne pepper,
hot sauce, melted butter. Usually you get them with like
some ranch or blue cheese dressing, celery or carrot stick.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
And their name for.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Buffalo, New York, no relation to the animal the buffalo,
where they were kind of invented, and they're a variety
of stories about how they were invented. But one of
the first restaurants that really started carrying. It was the
Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York. Really really good.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Up on a break. When we come back, you'll hear
more about what happened. I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening
to Strange Things on.
Speaker 4 (25:07):
The iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be back after these important messages.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Welcome back to Strange Things.
Speaker 4 (25:57):
On the iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast AM Parahinormal
Podcast Network. I'm your host, Joshua Whipe Warren, and this
is the show where the unusual becomes usual. There were
lots of interesting people at this event, whether or not
they were competing. For example, well, you know Dana White,
(26:19):
who founded the UFC, the Ultimate Fighting Championship here in
Las Vegas. He is worth an untold fortune. I actually
was in a room one time where he was standing
right next to me gambling, but I didn't get to
talk to him.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Anyway. You may or may not know that.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
He recently created this whole new I guess you call
it a league or whatever. It's called power slap where
these two people will stand in front of each other,
could be guys, could be gals, whatever, and one person
just slaps the crap out of the other person's face,
(27:02):
and then you know, that person recovers and then they
slap the crap out of the the opponent's face, and
this goes on until somebody gets knocked out or you know,
the judges are like, you've had enough. You know, I
can't imagine the brain damage from this because like they're
not guarding their face or anything. At least in boxing
you can kind of like try to shield your face.
(27:22):
It's insane. They brought this guy up on stage who
is at one time he was ranked as the number
one slap fight champion in the world. His name is
Vernon Cassie, two hundred and five pound guy, ninety two kilograms.
(27:43):
He got up there and talked about what it was
like to slap the crap.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Out of people.
Speaker 4 (27:49):
So you had all these very you know, interesting people.
By the way, that guy was telling you who was
the second strongest man in Finland, Jesse Pinion or whatever.
They said that he also is the national champion of
arm wrestling in Finland. So you know, you have all
these like oddball people. The entire head of the Plaza Hotel,
(28:09):
the CEO was there in the room and he and
I had a you know, a brief Hey, hi you, Dawn.
He patted me on the back. That was kind of interesting.
Jonathan Jossel he the CEO of the Plaza Hotel and Casino.
He is a historic figure. He's an Englishman, very clean cut,
proper englishman. Became the youngest non restricted gaming license holder
(28:34):
in Nevada. He earned his gaming license at the age
of twenty seven. And he's I think he's only like
forty years old now. So he's always doing innovative stuff
there at the Plaza. For example, they have and by
the way, the Plaza does not sponsor or endorse this show.
Don't get that in your head. I wish they would,
(28:55):
that would be nice. But like, they have a section
that he put in. It's a non smoky gambling section
that only has copyright free music so that YouTubers can
film without having to worry about copyright strikes. And he
has a podcast they do. They're and all kinds of
like innovative stuff. So anyway, Adam Moran, the guy Beard
(29:16):
meets Food, I'm just gonna call him Beard rather, you know,
short fella. I'm sure he probably doesn't want to be
called that, but I'm sorry. I'm six too, So he
very very fit. He's got the long black beard. He's
wearing a backward baseball cap. He's an Englishman. He's standing
up there on stage next to his co host Mike Davis,
(29:37):
who is sort of like the sports guy from the
local TV station Fox five. They're hosting this thing.
Speaker 2 (29:45):
And well, here you go. Here's here's how it started out.
Here's some audio I recorded for you ladies and.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
Gentlemen from Fox five.
Speaker 6 (29:55):
Here it is mister Mike Davis, and you guys know.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
This competitive eater.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
He goes by.
Speaker 6 (30:05):
Beard meets food Adam Burran, Las Vegas.
Speaker 1 (30:14):
Wow, so honored to have you guys here. Who's ready
for wingball Las Vegas. You know this guy right here?
Beard needs food. I struggle to get my grandmother to
follow me on Instagram. This guy he's got seven million
followers about on YouTube.
Speaker 5 (30:36):
This is big time stuff.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
We're gonna be coming to you live on YouTube live
here from the Plaza Hotel and Casino.
Speaker 7 (30:43):
Give it up for the Plaza. Now, obviously, this is
an event. Twenty six years in Philadelphia, this.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
Event happened, and now, yes, I'm a Jersey Philly boy,
but we're bringing the spirit of Las Vegas shooting a
plaza for wingbow gooberts.
Speaker 5 (31:03):
I saw that right there. All right, so this is
what's gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Let me give you guys a run a show, because
although this is all about wings, we're not winging anything
tonight here, Okay, So Adam and I are gonna be
breaking down the competition. We got fifteen competitive eaters. They're
all trying to get ten thousand dollars.
Speaker 5 (31:28):
That's what the winner is gonna get tonight. Actually I
think it's five thousand, five thousand dollars fun.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
But in their hearts it we'll bet ten. Second place
is gonna get fifteen hundred. But we got some people
that have competed against Joey chesnutt. We have people who
have beaten Joey Chestnut, and Adam.
Speaker 5 (31:50):
You have competed against Joey Chestnut very very cool a
few times. But yeah, I'm familiar with Joey. A lot
of these guys on there compete with a lot of times.
I'm gonna bringing that level of your best feed tonight.
How long has this beer been in the baking at him?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
I forget what my face looks like underneath the big
like what I've had this for at least twelve years.
Speaker 2 (32:13):
Now, at least.
Speaker 4 (32:15):
So they started bringing up each of the competitors on
the stage, and again the number one pick to win
was this lady named Molly Skuyler. But I didn't bet
on this. But if I were going to bet, I
would have bet on Bob Stout. Notorious Bob, the big
bald guy with the mustache, who's like over six feet tall,
(32:38):
who's like almost three hundred pounds, who eats insane amounts
of stuff. That's who I would have bet on if
I had bet so just because you know, he's such
an epic person. Here, here's what he said when he
came out on stage when they when they presented the
Notorious Bob.
Speaker 5 (32:58):
All right, that shot.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
He's one of the all time greats when it comes
to competitive eating. He won Creball twenty five back in
twenty seventeen. He has multiple Major League eating victories, world records.
Speaker 5 (33:17):
He's participated in.
Speaker 1 (33:18):
Wing ball about eight times, and now he's coming back
to win it all again. His name is Bob Shout,
but you know him as Notorious. Let's just be real here,
everybody in the audience needs to know you have beaten
Joey Chesnut. You beat him when it comes to lobster
(33:42):
chilli spaghetti competitions. You've done so much.
Speaker 5 (33:46):
You've beaten twenty.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
Three point four pounds of food in six minutes.
Speaker 5 (33:52):
At one time.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
How do you do?
Speaker 5 (33:54):
How can you become so prolific? Let's just complete. You
just gotta train, you gotta go to Buffet's. Is the
nest putform you know?
Speaker 1 (34:05):
This is keep going right, and this is what I
want to know when you beating Look this guy, there's
people that are your fanboys that are.
Speaker 5 (34:13):
Actually eating beside you. That's how big of a deal
you are.
Speaker 4 (34:17):
Are you?
Speaker 1 (34:18):
Is there a potential you can get too cocky tonight
because you're thinking, I've.
Speaker 5 (34:23):
Been to the highest of the high. Can you get
too cocky and get out of your zone? It's possible.
I got this crew down here. These gay guys are
animals here rank from my table. So we're probably getting
a little bit cocky, but I try to ring there,
stay focused on the Whigs the CP.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
I believe Notorious Bob is from Pennsylvania. I think so.
Speaker 4 (34:47):
But anyway, so they had their first round. This's been
on for I don't know, i'd say at least three hours.
Uh in Like the first round was ten minutes, and
then I don't know how long the second round was.
I had to step out, I'll tell you about that.
And then like the the final round was five minutes
among the two last people standing. But they would had
they had breaks for they had entertainment for one thing,
(35:08):
they had this band from Los Angeles called Trapped, but
you know, that's that's fine.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
But then they had some really weird shows.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Like at one point they had somebody dresses a chicken
come out on stage and do this giant routine with
hula hoops. And then later on, all of a sudden,
they had a burlesque routine. A woman named Kiki Maroon.
She came out and it was a I mean, I'm
(35:39):
telling you, it was a full blown burlesque where she's
stripping down and if they opened the curtain and she
had one of these giant balloon dogs. You know, you
may have seen those sculptures. They're worth a ton of money.
And she gets on top of this balloon dog and
she's riding it like a bull, and she's undressing and
(36:00):
she got right down to you know, the pasties As
a matter of fact, we noticed that Beard was I
think he was embarrassed by it because he was he
was sort.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Of looking away.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
To be honest with you, the whole show was actually awkward.
And what made it even more weird as they said,
when the show is over, we're gonna have free shuttles outside,
and you jump in the shuttle and we're gonna take
everybody down the road to a strip club, a full
nude strip club called Peppermint Hippo for an after party.
(36:33):
And so I didn't do that. I'm too old to
do that kind of thing.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Now.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
I don't have the energy, niem. I don't have anything
against it. I just I was tired. I needed to
go home and sleep.
Speaker 4 (36:46):
By the way, but I understand that Peppermint Hippo was
the name of a strip club in a south Park episode,
and so the guy who opened that club named it
after the south Park episode, but the south Park episode
named it on some other club called the Something Rhino. Look,
(37:09):
I don't want to go down that rabbit hole, but
I want to give you an idea of like just
how like unusual this evening was. Let me come back.
I'm going to tell you how it turned out. In
the meantime, I had to go well, just when I
got up in the middle of the show and I
went somewhere and something happened. I'm Joshua Pee Warren. You're
(37:32):
listening to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to
Coast AM para normal podcast Network, and I will be
right back.
Speaker 2 (38:16):
Welcome back to the final segment of this edition.
Speaker 4 (38:19):
Of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 2 (38:25):
I am your host, Joshua P. Warren. And I stayed
for this.
Speaker 4 (38:29):
Whole event, and like I say, I wouldn't be surprised
if it was like at least three hours.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
I kind of lost track of time.
Speaker 4 (38:38):
I was into it, but at some point in the
middle I needed to go use the restroom and I
had so I had to go outside of the venue.
Lauren stayed behind kept our seats safe. I used the
bathroom and I wanted another drink, so I stopped by
this bar there in the plaza and ordered my drink.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
There was a.
Speaker 4 (39:01):
Gambling machine there on the counter, so while I was
waiting for the drink, I pulled a little money into
the machine. Video poker hit the button a few times, Boom,
I hit a two thousand dollars jackpot. Now, before this
year twenty twenty six, if you hit twelve hundred dollars
or more on a machine like that, that's called a
(39:22):
hand pay, So you have to wait around for them
to come out, get your ID, your Social Security number,
you fill out tax forms, and then they give you
the cash. They changed it this year so that now
they've increased it to two thousand dollars. So if I'd
hit one nine hundred ninety nine dollars, I could have
cashed that out and gone right back into the theater.
(39:43):
But no, I hit two thousand dollars, So now I
have to sit around and wait for them to come
out and do all that. And this was the longest
hand pay wait. It was like thirty minutes. I'm sitting
at the bar waiting for them to do all this
and bring me the money. In the meantime, Saturday night,
downtown Vegas, there's a young lady who sees that I've
(40:04):
just hit two thousand dollars, and boy did she start
culling up to me awful fast and so and you know,
and when that kind of thing happens.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
It doesn't matter. You can say you're married. I don't
they like it.
Speaker 4 (40:18):
They're like, oh, this guy's married, he's not going to
give me any trouble. So anyway, I had to kill
thirty minutes with this woman who was pulling every trick
in a book to get her hand in my wallet.
I don't know, maybe she was just she was just
being nice. But anyway, so finally I go back and side,
(40:40):
Like I say, all kinds of crazy things have been.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Happening with the.
Speaker 4 (40:46):
Burlesque show and everything else, But finally it came down
to the end, and guess what. Not surprisingly, it's the big,
the big bald guy toorius Bob, and it's the slim
five foot seven woman Mollie Skyler. Here is audio from
the end of the competition.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Who do you think won?
Speaker 5 (41:08):
Three true one? That's it, last.
Speaker 1 (41:13):
Wing in the bucket, A great display of sportsmanship from
Bob to Molly.
Speaker 5 (41:22):
And that is its, ladies and gentlemen, the final showdown.
We're gonna have to see what this ends up being.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
As our judges get fast to work, they take the
buckets of wings.
Speaker 5 (41:35):
We're gonna wait them. They're gonna make every sure everything
is kosher. We have a laptop front and center. The
calculations will be.
Speaker 6 (41:45):
Made with a total of one hundred and eighty nine
complete wings. The twenty twenty six Las Vegas Wing Bowl
champion is.
Speaker 5 (41:57):
Still Molly Schuler. There we go, Vegas.
Speaker 2 (42:11):
So there you have it.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
The slim woman won the whole darn thing with one
hundred and eighty nine wings, and in fact, in the past,
I'm pretty sure she's eaten a lot more than that,
well over two hundred wings. So that's why I think
there's something superhuman about all this. That's why I'm so
intrigued by it. And so afterward they came out and
(42:37):
they just were handing out baskets of wings left and
right to the crowd. And so they gave me a
Lauren a basket of wings that was probably like ten pounds,
it was so heavy. And I actually got in a
room there that night, even though I live here in Vegas.
Sometimes I like to get a room as just like
a base camp. So we left the event, we went
(42:59):
up to the room, we dropped off the wings. We
also had some leftovers from dinner earlier because there was
a fridge in the room, and then we went back
down to the casino, decided to gamble and play a
little bit more, and probably like an hour had gone by,
and at that point we were walking across the casino
(43:20):
floor and Lauren goes, oh, look there they are, and
I turned and I almost ran into Beard and Notorious
b O b. They were coming down the steps and
I had no intention of actually meeting them or talking
to them or anything like that. But again I almost
like stumbled right into them. And so I was like,
(43:42):
I guess it was destined for me to meet these guys.
It's so weird how again that kind of synchronosy was happening.
So I just told him, I said, you guys, you know,
they don't know who the heck I am. I just said,
you know, I'm Joshua. This is my wife, Lauren. We
live here in Vegas. I watch your videos all the time.
I just want to thank you for all the entertains
and I find it amazing what you do, you know.
(44:02):
And they were super nice, shook their hands and very
exhausted though very and I also think they were both
kind of weirded out by how like odd that event was.
And then you know, Notorious Bob he also had just lost.
He just came in second place, so I'm sure he
wasn't super happy about that. But so I didn't record
(44:23):
my conversation with them. It felt very like it would
be inappropriate if I just whipped out a recorder and
put it up in their face and started asking them questions.
But I did take the opportunity to ask one question.
I said to Beard and to Notorious Bob, I said,
I find what.
Speaker 2 (44:39):
You guys do so amazing.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
How do you think it's possible that you can eat
such an enormous amount of food in a short period
of time without it damaging, like immediately damaging your internal organs.
And Adam looks to Bob and says, I'll let him
take that. And I could kind of tell that the
question seemed maybe maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed like
(45:02):
that was a little irritating to him, maybe because that
he gets asked that kind of thing so much. But
he basically said, and it was loud, so I didn't hear.
He basically said, like, you know, it's just he says,
everybody's different, you know, he goes, it's just like training,
and he points over to the guy from Finland. He says,
you know, this guy can lift, you know, bench five
(45:24):
hundred pounds. If we tried to do that, you know,
we might die. And he's just like, you know, it's
like everybody's got different, different genetics, and you know, you
work on it, and he was just kind of like
I felt blowing it off. And and again nothing against him,
but my feeling was that this guy may not have
(45:48):
really any idea how absolutely amazing it is to me
what they do that it's it's because they've done it
for so long and they don't even really think about
the physiology of it because they have these kind of
superhuman genes. But they again, very nice, and I was
(46:10):
happy I got to have the interaction with him. I
got to meet two guys I watch on YouTube all
the time, and it was a great evening. And then
you know, after that, Lauren and I came home and
we started eating wings, and I still have wings to
eat for like the next three days. I'll tell you
a quick food story before the clock gets us. Elvis
Presley was the king of this town, and sometimes you
(46:34):
go to restaurants where they have what's called the Elvis sandwich.
Elvis died when he was forty two, they say his
heart was like double the size it was supposed to be,
so he basically died of heart failure, but that was
compounded by drugs he would use to to stay energized,
(46:55):
as well as his eating habits. Because Elvis was six
feet tall and at one point he was three hundred
and fifty pounds, pretty pretty amazing how heavy he got.
And one of the reasons is because he would like
the elvisburger, and I ordered one this morning, and like this,
you do not want to make a habit out of
eating the elvisberger. But here's here's what the Elvis the
(47:17):
Elvis sandwich, not burger. Here's what it is. You take
two pieces of white bread, you toast them a little bit,
and then when they come out of the toastree, you
spread some butter on it, you know, and then you
spread a nice stick layer of peanut butter, and then
you slice up some bananas and put in there, and
then you put down a bunch of strips of bacon,
(47:40):
and then maybe if you're really feeling like you want
to have the ultimate drizzle little molasses on there, squeeze
that thing together.
Speaker 2 (47:48):
Oh dude, it's good, it's good.
Speaker 4 (47:51):
It's very hard to lose weight in this town. I
am not recommending you make the Elvis sandwich. I'm just
telling you I had one today. I ate about half
of it and then I was like, I'm throwing the
rest of this a way because this is.
Speaker 2 (48:06):
Just not good for me.
Speaker 4 (48:08):
And I actually have another Elvis story that I'm going
to share with you on a future show. Maybe I
can squeeze this in next week or whatever. I have
a brand new addition to my collection of unusual things,
and it is an Elvis artifact and it's you know,
it fits in to Las Vegas. His most famous movie
(48:32):
was called Viva Las Vegas. By the time he died
at forty two, he had made thirty one movies. One
of them was Viva Las Vegas. All right, folks, around
of time, if you can close your eyes, take a
deep breath, relax, let us all meditate together on the
good Fortune tone. That's it for this edition of the show.

Kingdom of Fraud
It’s the unlikeliest of criminal partnerships: a devout polygamist from an insular Utah sect joining forces with a shadowy Armenian tycoon from LA. The result - a billion dollar fraud conspiracy. In Kingdom of Fraud, investigative reporter Michele McPhee traces the origins of the extraordinary alliance between Jacob Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan. Together, the two men trigger the largest tax investigation in American history and weave around themselves a web of dirty cops, influential political relationships and transnational money laundering. All this is set against the backdrop of Jacob Kingston’s clan – The Order. A powerful and secretive polygamist organization in Salt Lake City. To whom Jacob is desperate to prove his worth.
