Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio from the Mercedes Man Game. What's going on?
Rich Das from the Mercedes Best Studios. Cavino and Rich,
I'm Steve Cavino. Good morning and Guten Morgan to our
German friends listening to Morgan happy Sinco de Julio for
(00:22):
our Spanish speaking friends, Ah, yes, Sinco de Julio the
fifth of July. And since we're at it, just to
shout out to all the Julios. A lot of Julio's
listening from the Mario. It's Cavino and Rich. What's up?
Fifth of July? A couple hundred years ago, everyone was
thinking to themselves, all right, now we got Independence Day one?
What are we doing? What did they do? What did
they do? All right, now we did it? What did
(00:44):
they do? Now? One? Hey, maybe we'll figure it out later.
Probably not what you're gonna lead with her. But we're
the most interactive show, hey, one on Fox Sports Radio
according to US. So let's go. Eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox is the number we're at. Cavino and Rich,
Spotties here, Danny g is he Yeah, Don Brown and
Monsey here and thank you guys for waking up with us.
(01:05):
As my mom would say, rich growing up, and I
still don't know what it means. Wait what your mom
would say, Steve, and you're so handsome? Oh she still
says that. What else would your mom say? My mother
is a smother. Yeah, she's like Beverly Goldberg because she
very much is. No, she would say, back to the
old Grindstone. Would your mom work with Fred Flintstone? Yeah,
(01:26):
she worked for mister Slate. Yes, okay, apparently so as
you guys had to work today, we wish you the best.
Hope you had a great weekend. Extended weekend which means
short work week, which I'm all about not but how's
your fourth man? How's your fourth? I made some observations.
We're gonna get into sports. Don't worry, Joey Chestnut. Is
this guy a beast or what we'll get? I thought
(01:47):
you said we were getting too sports. Well, you know,
Moncy and Danny g you're gonna fight you on this song. Okay,
we'll talk Joey Chestnut, we'll talk some baseball. As we
were pretty much at the halfway point. We're not at
the All Star break. But if you do a little math.
Everyone's played about eighty eighty one game, so do it
times two. And if your team is keeping pace, this
is where you look at your superstars and say, all right,
(02:09):
if they got like sixty ribbies, this guy could have
one hundred and twenty RBI at the end of the year.
I had sixty ribbies at the barbecue yesterday. I did
some good ribbies, some good burghers. Hold that note because
I made some ribs. I made some ribs, and I
have a story about it. Fair enough some of my
Fourth of July observations, So let's let's get to those
Fourth of July observations eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox.
(02:31):
Danny J I'll give him props with this one. But
what is with people recording fireworks shows on their phone? Danny?
I agree with you. I wonder about this every year,
even back in the day when people had those huge
cam quarters. I used to wonder, what is that person
going to do with that cam quarter tape? But do
(02:52):
they market like you know, back then, was it like
nineteen ninety seven fireworks Disneyland and they fileo it way
in there? Hey, como, you want to come over next weekend? Yeah?
What do you want to do Bro, you want to
watch a fight the game No, no, no, Calabastis two
thousand and nine Fireworks Show you gotta watch again. You know,
I'm with you guys, of course, and when we all agree,
(03:13):
it's fact. It's ridiculous, right, What a waste of storage
and space and VHS cassette tape, as as Danny G referenced.
But I could see I could see your dad doing something,
you know, like there's a particular type of person, like
a guy's way to you seeing what I got nineteen
eighty six. Richie loved it and how apoc long. Oh yeah,
(03:33):
it was a the Groucci Brothers put on a display
in New York City. It was a finale. Oh my god,
the finale. Don't you remember, Richie? You remember you with
clapping your hands, you said, oh, and uh, I could
see your dad like he's the type of guy that
wants you to watch and relive the experience with him.
But for the most part, yeah, what a waste. And
(03:55):
Danny you said you saw tons of people just looking
up the sky, recording the entire not even just a
little portion for social media, but like the whole thing. Yes,
Spotty made a good point. He was saying, if you
want to record a few seconds to say, hey, this
is where I'm at celebrating with everyone. I get that,
but men and women and a couple of kids I
saw were recording the entire thing with their cell phone.
(04:16):
You know what it is, You don't ever watch that back.
I know you never watch it back for you. You
know what. I don't know if this was the case,
but if you're a new parent, right, everything your kid
experiences for the first few times is always the most special, right, like, oh, hey, honey,
don't you love the firework? My daughters, I love the
fire you look at make a wish, honey, just remember
(04:39):
this forever. My daughter say like this is the best
day ever, and that warms my heart. But you know
what I did, spots right, He said it off the
air before he came in, and he said, if you
got like ten or fifteen seconds on the ig or
you're putting something on TikTok, and if you're recording a
few seconds just to be like, here's what I'm doing,
let me be the social media person. That's one thing.
(05:00):
You know what, maybe you're waiting for a moment, like
you're waiting for something crazy to happen, or maybe even
just like you're waiting for your kid to get emotional,
like you just want to you don't want to miss.
You're waiting for an upside down smiley face. Yes, yeah,
the watermelon. You're waiting for the watermelon. You know what
what upset me? I heard Monsey say this morning. She goes,
I don't even like fireworks. They haven't done anything new ever.
(05:22):
You know what that attitude says to me. That the
same person. We love Monsey, but it's the same person
that says they don't like New Year's Eve in the
studio over there somewhere, I am here crying somewhere. I
am here. What I sound like? Okay, so it's I
hate fireworks. I'm not impressed by fireworks. They did the
(05:45):
same fireworks for thirty years, and I'm not impressed. Somebody
add that to her BioStat mony love sports hates fireworks.
Big Dodgers girl hates fireworks. Fireworks night at Dodger Stadium.
No thanks, Oh no, that's fine. If you know, Disneyland
wants to do it, cities want to do it when
it's New Year's What I don't want is my neighborhood
to be doing bombs still, three am, arms going off.
(06:10):
I'm trying to sleep. You're the one that hate it
pets hate it's hot? Are you the one that complains
on the neighborhood apps that this sounds aloud? Complain? But
I do go outside and I stare at them when
it's one in the morning. Can we stop? That's a
bit late and listen. I'm a night Monty, I'm a
pet owner. Comito and I talked about this the other
day here on Fox Sports. But as much as you
(06:32):
love your pets, it's the fourth of July. It's once
a year. Your your dog could be Your dog could
be scared for two hours of its year. It's not
even just scared. Listen. My dog, my Dexter, my three legged,
eighty five pound pit bull, actually is not afraid of fireworks,
so he's not an issue. But dogs run away. I
have found dogs that like ran away from home and
the owner was like, it got so scared it like
(06:54):
squeezed through the fence. That happens. It happened to me.
It was twenty sixteen, and I have it on on
my phone if you want to watch it. My thought
my dog away really firework displaying. Oh it was legendary.
You gotta see my doggie went running the right away. No,
it's true story, monster, It did happen to me. So
(07:15):
I'm somewhat sympathetic to it. But you know, it takes
precedence over doggies, you know, being frightened. Just everyone enjoying
their weekend. What about veterans. Veterans also hate it. They
don't like it. They can hang out inside for a night.
I mean, I respect veterans more than anyone, but like,
we can't just be like no fireworks, fiorks. Thank you,
Thank you for your service as well. Ended this conversation. Next,
(07:39):
thank you for your service. Thank you for your services. Bam,
how about this. They're just they're beautiful. I do, I
get a little emotionally beautiful. And you know what, I
thought this was going to be the year that I
didn't see any fireworks, but I was. I was mistaken
because you and I again, welcome to Cavino and rich
In for Dan Patrick. We do Fox Sports Sunday. Yeah,
(08:01):
so we were on Sunday night and my kid, my sister,
my family went on Sunday night to see the fireworks.
I was like, I guess I'm not seeing any this year,
but sure enough last night did not disappoint. Just out
of my patio. Out of my patio and you can
see all the different you ever take a flight on
like a Fourth of July and you see every little township,
(08:22):
every little community doing their display. I could see all
different displays from my patio. To record it, We'll never know.
I felt so dumb. I was flying back from New
Orleans the other day. I had to go host an
event for a serious XM. And I'm flying back in Saturday,
which was the second, right, Yeah, Saturday, the second that
(08:42):
would be DOS Day Juliolio. Yes, very important day in
the community. And I see all the fireworks displays as
i'm you know, as the planes pulling into Lax and
I hit up my wife and go, baby, was beautiful.
For some reason, there's all these fireworks, She goes. Could
the reason be that it's Fourth of July weekend. I'm like,
oh my god, I'm such a dummy. I totally forgot.
(09:02):
But it's beautiful. Have you ever been on a plane
and you're like sort of pulling into the airport, It's like, yeah,
it's incredible. And I saw plenty last night. Hey. The
point is we hope you enjoyed your display. It's not
for everybody, clearly, Monsey has like, yeah, I'm sick of this.
I don't like the loud noises. And I get that
because as the meme goes, like are those gunshots or
(09:23):
fireworks here in Los Angeles? Right? And that's a scary,
touchy subject, but it's true because at night, you really
don't know. At night, you're like, what is going on?
And it did sound like World War three all night
long here in Los Angeles. People don't know when to stop.
That's the truth, because everyone's doing there. You know what happened,
rich The pandemic sort of opened up the floodgates to
(09:46):
have everyone just put on their own little private display
from their driveway like old school days. So because remember
they didn't exist for the past few years, we didn't
get together for the past few years, so you just
see them going off all night long. Lionel Richie Stole. Oh,
but I'd find him to be beautiful, Like I do,
get a little emotional, especially when you're here and I'm
(10:08):
proud to be an American O night. Yeah. I have
one other observation then, and then we'll move on to
Joey Chestnut and some baseball, some basketball, some MBA. Um.
My last observation Fourth of July style is Miley Cyrus
has now made the cut. You notice this too, Danny. Yeah,
(10:29):
it's always Lee Greenwood goes, I'm proud to be an American.
It's Lake Keith the American Soldier song. Yes, it's James
Brown living in America. It's Neil Diamonds, We're coming to America.
Bruce Springsteen born in the USA. And now I agree
with dude, Danny. Somehow Miley Cyrus Party in the USA
has infiltrated the Fourth of July mix. Yeah, you know,
(10:54):
doesn't feel right. The weakest fun fact about that is
she has claimed she had never heard jay Z song
prior to that. Yeah, and the jay Z song was on.
According to her, she had never heard of jay Z
songs like you've you've never heard at that point of
her election was fifteen. Come on, come on, Yeah, that's
that's ridiculous. So we hope you had a great fourth.
(11:17):
Let's have a great fifth. What did Americans do on
the fifth of July, their first day of freedom? We'll
discuss that. Well, we'll figure out what we're gonna do
and who we're going to celebrate later on. But I
had one last obvia servation, Rich, I want you to
think about so again. I celebrated on Sunday prior to
our Fox Sports Sunday show. Had a little barbecue or
(11:38):
should I say grilled. I was grilling. I don't mean
to offend the actual barbecuers out there. I was grilling.
They get very effected, right of course. Well you know
I'm not your hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Is not barbecuing.
When some dudes like I got this brisket going for hours,
I need a new reference spot, so can you help
me find one. I'm not Ray Lampy, doctor barbecue. That
(12:00):
you only make that reference because probably ten plus years
ago on our show, we had a guy that had
a cookbook and he called himself doctor Barbecue. Right, I'm
not Ray Lampy. I don't know who else to reference
flavor toown with your buddy Guy Fietti. Yeah, I'm not
like the mayor of flavor Town, but I do my best.
So here's my question. I'm out there and you really
don't care about other people's preference other than no cheese
(12:22):
cheese or no cheese, right, Aaron Franklin, Yeah, I'm not.
I'm not Aaron Franklin currently He's like the big barbecue.
Oh really, I'm no Aaron Franklin. I'm Steve Cavino. My
skills are minimal at best when it comes to grilling.
You know, my my The fanciest I get is I
cut little slits into the hot hooks at the ends
because they start to crill at the ends, and that's
kind of how you know when they're done. You also
(12:44):
put a dimple in your burgers so they don't bubble
up sometimes. Yeah, I used to see my uncle Mary,
I'll do that. So I do that tradition, family tradition.
So I'm there and Jordan's like, I'm making ribs. I
really don't know how to make ribs, but like I said,
is it the hardest thing. I don't know. But I'm
there and my brother in law's like, hey, I can
(13:06):
help you out with that, and he sort of just
jumps on really without asking. He just did it right.
Next thing I know, I'm like, this stuff isn't cooking
up the way it's supposed to, Like why why is?
Then I realized he knocked. He shut the grill off
on me, so I'm sitting So then I'm sitting there
for another like you know, the grill's off, dude, And
(13:27):
then it dawn on me. You can't like just man
someone else's grill. You can't just take over someone else's grill.
It's like against the rules. Yeah, and I want to
know how you guys feel, like you know what it's like.
It's like going into an Italian mom's kitchen on Christmas
Eve or something. Yeah, you don't do it. Imagine that.
Imagine going too, Imagine going into the kitchen on Christmas
Eve and trying to take over mom's situation. And I'm
(13:50):
not even like one of those super possessive it's my grill,
my barbecue. And I felt that way, like, yeah, dude,
beat it kind of. This is my show. I'm doing
my thing. You guys sit there and wait for the
hot dogs. I got this because then again, like I said,
he messed up and it happened to me before in
other circumstances, which is the reminder here on the show,
(14:10):
Like I don't think you take the initiative to just
take someone else's as your dad was. Ay, my thongs
and start flipping burgers and taking you know, liberties here
where it's not your house, it's not your grill. What
do you guys think about that? Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox Can you man someone else's grill? Plus,
(14:31):
we gotta talk about Joey Chestnut. Oh, this guy he
is now if he wasn't already legend, something he pulled
off yesterday makes him even. The guy's like a mythical
creature now he is. But the question of the day
is is it a sport? Is Joey Chestnut an athlete?
Is what he does a sport? Is it a sport?
(14:53):
We'll take your feedback next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Com you on rich and for Dan Patrick. Be sure
to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show
weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio in the iHeart Radio app. Good morning, Buen
(15:18):
else Es, can y'all say Adobe? What's up? On? It's
Fox Sports Radio Live from the Mercedes Benz Studio. Cavino
and rich In for Dan Patrick. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. Hope you had a great weekend. Hope
you enjoined our show on Sunday. If not Fox Sports
Radio dot Com. Hopefully you're joining the show right now. Yeah,
(15:41):
we're a few East Coast buffoons. Speak for yourself out
here in Los Angeles. I've been living out here for
a long time now, and we're happy to be filling
in for Dan Patrick. Hope you had a nice weekend.
Hope you enjoyed your barbecue. We're gonna talk about manning
someone else's grill later on. You want to go to
Tom right now? He has a thought about it. Let's
(16:02):
go to Tom. Tom. What's up, buddy? You're on in
New York. Hey, good morning, guys. Love the show, Thanks Bud.
What's up? Yeah? Devon a red card? Uh, you don't
mess with another man's garrel. I had a guy one
time backyard barbecue. Came over after I put the cheese
on the burgers and and you know, criticized that the
cheese was too big for the burgers of wrapping around
(16:22):
the side. So he proceeded to pick up pieces of
cheese and started trimming them right up to the size
of the burger and asked me to do it again.
And I asked him to leave. Oh, that's you know appropriate. Wait,
how who was this guy like who was he to you?
He was just the clown of the neighborhood. You know,
he's one of those guys that uh, you know, fixes
(16:43):
his transmission of his car with the pop top with
a soda can and just kind of kind of a jerk.
Who would you do in that scenarios for real though,
because you know, yeah, would you really escort the guy? Hey,
get this guy out here? You sweep mak No, You
at first, with a laugh in your voice, say hey,
(17:04):
I'll beat it man, and then if he doesn't get it, no, no,
I got this where I'm good, And you keep going
from laughter in your voice too serious progressively as he
doesn't listen, you have to assign him a menial task
that really means nothing, but we'll distract him. Hey, neighborhood bozzo,
can you go go get the catchup please? Out of
the fridge. No, it's really like a subliminal like you're
(17:25):
not the man of your own house. It really is
like I'm taking over your grill because I think you're
enough to handle it. And again, I'm no meathead Goldwin.
You know who meet head Goldwin is. He's the barbecue
whisper Barbecue Hall of Fame, I know, meat head Goldwyn.
You know I grill here and there, but I don't
expect anyone else to try to man my own grill
(17:45):
at my own house. And I do think it matters
who it is, because sometimes is coming from a good place.
Sometimes this guy just thinks again, he's better than you.
It's like the guy that pulls his car into and
reverse the park. What do you think you're better than me?
You are you think you're better than me because you
backed your car in, Meathead Goldwin? Huh meahead Goldwyn again. Yesterday,
(18:09):
actually Sunday, it was my brother in law who was like,
you know, he took over my grill, ended up shutting
it off, sort of ruined my whole flow. But again
it's my brother in law. I can't get mad about that.
It did happen to me one time when it was
like mixed company. It was like the girlfriend the boyfriend
of some girl that was at my house and he
(18:31):
just like sort of like like I got this, and
it's like, yo, beat it, dude. I don't know a
guy like you that doesn't even care about cooking. It
might be a relief to you, though. Some people like
fun if you want to cook I'll chill. I'll chill
with a drink. If you want to do the cooking,
have at it. I do get that. But you're hosting
a party, it's your place, you have company over. I
remember feeling a little disrespected when that happened, and you
(18:52):
gave the best analogy. It's like trying to infiltrate an
old Italian mom's kitchen. Can you imagine a young woman saying, no,
I got it? Like, no, you don't. It's just one
of those things you don't do. Step aside, streggana, I
got this. It's just something that you don't. This is disrespect.
I think eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox your
(19:13):
Fourth of July observations and we're gonna talk about Joey Chestnot.
But you grabbing a big knife and you carve the
turkey at someone else's house without asking. I got this. Yeah, no,
I chop your hand off. Well, I'm intrusive. I think.
I think yesterday a lot of people enjoyed some good cooking,
some good barbecue, some good Uh, what is your favorite
(19:35):
thing that's that's not so easy on the grill when
someone spends the whole day. Let me let me tie
this back to spourth doing some type of brisket or something.
I know on the fourth of julyer one's excited about,
you know, the big hot dog eating contest. It's contest.
It's not a sport, and we'll explain. But when I'm
there on the grill, and when I'm there chilling and grilling,
(19:57):
I like to watch the ball game. And a lot
of teams are off on Mondays and Thursdays. I'm talking
baseball Mondays and Thursdays. But the Yankees always seemed to
play on fourth of July. They're the Yankees, mana Yo. Honestly,
I was a little disappointed. I'm like, why, I gotta
be honest, I like I turned into a big baby
when they're off, right, because I'm such an entitled sports guy.
(20:19):
I'm like, I want my team to play. I want
them to be on. I don't like off days because
I look forward to that, like it's just comfort food,
kind of like I need them on every night, and
they seem to play every fourth of July. They're the Yankees.
I feel like it just goes hand in hand. I
feel like you're making this up, dude. It's an article
today The New York post that even the Yankees were like,
(20:42):
why were we off on fourth of July? Kind of
fired me down. I'm not gonna lie. So I was
just there, you know, enjoying the day doing nothing. I
was kind of bored all day yesterday, sitting there whistling
Yankee doodle dandy. Yeah, but I wanted to see I
wanted to see some baseball on the day off. I
(21:02):
did no Yanks, no fun. I've always said that, no Yanks,
no fun. I've always said that, who's the barbecue guy again,
Meathead Goldwin? Yeah, Meathhead Goldwin. It's the true that you
lost a girlfriend once to that guy. Meathead Goldwin, also
known as the barbecue whisper Meathead. He sounds like a
(21:24):
guy for the Jersey Shore. Meathead Goldwin hangs out with
the Sitch PAULI d all right, so let's talk about
Joey Chestnut. This guy, we've met him before. Really good dude,
really nice fella. This guy does something that none of
us could do in our wildest dreams. He's a hot
(21:48):
dog eating champion. Tell you hate to interrupt, but my
wildest dreams never include eating hot dogs. That's true. Somehow,
I pictured they did no nope, nope. Nothing about your
wildest dreams include dogs, nothing, nothing, but the question is
this Nope, not even in my wildest dreams. Is it
(22:10):
a sport? Danny j you start is hot dog eating?
And what Joey Chestnut what he does on an annual basis.
We talked about this a little bit on the Sunday
Night Show with You and it is a sport, the
reason being he trains, so do the other professional leaders.
(22:30):
They have to train. And Joey was on that Fifth
Hour podcast with Ben Maller, like we spoke about this
past weekend, he was asked that question, are you an athlete?
And he said, I have to look at it that
way because of my training, because of all the events
I have to do to warm up for the Super
Bowl of Eating, which took place yesterday morning. There and Coney, well,
(22:51):
I understand that that he has to view it as
bus sport because it's a competition, right, It is a competition.
So I understand he has a reputation to upkeep and
he's the guy, so he probably puts an immense amount
of pressure on him to deliver and perform. He made
a good point in that interview. Right after that though Covino.
He said that it wasn't that long ago where a
(23:13):
lot of folks thought that golfers weren't even athletes. Yeah,
golfers are athletes, and we have found out since that, Yes, indeed,
golfers are athletes. So I mean, you could argue that,
but everything evolves. That is a great argument, and we're
going to open it up to you eight seven seven
(23:33):
ninety nine on Fox. Is it a sport? Congratulations? He
ate what sixty three hot dogs in a minute after
being interrupted by protesters. Yes, we still have to celebrate
the guy. That was the coolest moment. Yeah, it was incredible.
That was the greatest moment. I'm sure you've seen that
on social media. If not, look it up at some
point this hard way. He was like extra aggressive with this.
(23:53):
He's mid dog, right. Monsey made a great point before
the show in our meeting. She was saying he even
had to play defense the way he took that guy
down to the ground and then he got right back
up and ran the ball some more. They got to
throw obstacles at Joey chest not to even level the
playing field. He beats everyone by I feel like double
(24:16):
the dogs. Well, I think his own record was seventy six, right,
and he didn't even need to try to beat that
this year. And plus he was interrupted by a protester
that he choked down with a broken leg. He was
on a crunch and again, like he'd done this before,
he choke some dude out so great, I thought he
broke the guy's neck. Some protester came up there mid
(24:37):
dog like rich said, put him in a headline. How
many dogs? Sixty? But the question he was like fifteen
when this happened. Is it a sport? And I want
to hear from Monsey and Don Brown? But spot, spotty, spot,
please give us the definition? Can I give you a
(24:57):
fun fact? First? Give us a fun fact and every
definition of a sport? You know, how many combined hot
dogs he's eaten at this event? One thousand, one hundred
and fifty two. Wow, A lot of lizzies? How many
hot dogs you think you've eaten in your life? A
lot of night rates at night? Don't you lose thirty
minutes for every half dogs? Thirty minutes? That was the
(25:18):
stat recently. Life. Yeah, it's thirty minutes of your life. Yeah,
they say that about milkshakes too. I'm not buying it.
I'm not buying it. The definition of a sport, The
definition of a supporting to Miriam and Webster. Okay, an
activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual
or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Okay,
(25:40):
I say it's a sport. Technicality, it's a sport. On
the technicality, it is being a hater. But I'm standing
my ground and saying, well, then you could. You could
make up anything, Just make up anything like, yeah, I moonwalking,
you moonwalk. I'm gonna train to be the best moonwalker.
We're going to compete every fifth of July. That's a
sport because we're competing and we're training for this one competition.
(26:03):
You could die doing it. You are a gladiator, and
that's a sport. Yeah. You know one of the guys
underneath his byeline instead he ate two hundred and seventy
five hallopgos in eight minutes. Wow, it's not a sport.
Died from me, that's silly. Yes, And you know what
you can and I respect you for going out there
and doing your best and being in a competition. Right,
(26:25):
it's a competition. I get all that it's a contest,
it's an event, it's a spectacle. It's not a sport.
It just isn't you know? Are you training your body
to do something specific? Yeah, but there's a lot of
gross examples that I could give too, and I won't
on Fox Sports Radio. It's like, okay, so if I
did that, it's a sport. It's really gluttony at its
highest form. You know, it's not a sport. Bro is
(26:49):
he an elite? Okay, it's a sport and he's got
fifteen titles now due all right, I want to prove
everybody wrong. Right now, when we talk about the goats,
we talk about Jordan, Ali Gretzky, Tom Brady. Where's Joey Chestnuts?
He's right next to Bill Russell. Okay, No, we don't
even include We don't even include Michael Phelps where he
(27:12):
should be included, right or wrong? Right? And we talked
about recently, I said, what about throwing Bruce Lee into
that conversation for what he did for martial arts and
now mixed martial arts? Right? No, no, but Joey Chestnut,
give me a brain. Honestly, this was gross about this country.
I understand. Oh, it's our freedoms and that's what's great
about it. No, it's not. It's gross, and it's fun
(27:33):
for some not for this guy. Therefore not a sport
because you could compete and train to do anything. I
could go, Hey, you see his pen. I'm gonna make
a stick into the ceiling. I don't know why people
do should do that? Right? Hey? Hey, whoever gets the
most wins? Am I an athlete? Now? Because I trained
at that? You forgot Raphael Nadal? And by the way,
your former employer split the screen between Joey Chestnut and Nadal.
(27:57):
That's yesterday to open it. You know. Yes, they should
be embarrassed because cornhole cornhole, which they also air, is
more of a sport than eating hot dogs. I don't
know about that. Now, that's a barbecue, like fat guy
in the yard could like cornhole to mean that's a
skill concl It is true that Joey Chestnut holds the
honor of having the most championships in a single event.
Is that true? Fifty? How many? Bill? How many NBA titles?
(28:21):
Does Bill Russell have eleven? I think yes, it's true
most championships in a single event. Nadal only had fourteen. Okay,
if you guys are so strong on your stance, then
next time we talk about goats and you don't bring
up Joey Chestnut, get you get, you get a sat.
I don't have a strong stance. I have more of
like a Craig Counsel stance, like so of an awkward
(28:42):
stand council. He was very mad. Yes I did not.
Why would I bring up Craig Council? And that's so coincident? Thought?
What was what was going on? Craik Counsel? He was
all mad about calls And I don't know Covino, the NBA,
they have Christmas, NFL, they have Thanksgiving right New Year's Eve,
college ball, bull games, fourth of July. What athletic event
(29:03):
are we all tuning into? So great? Legendary? You pay
to see that Joey people do? But would you pay
to see that that's a hold on the people? Do?
A million people bought Susan Boyle CD when it came out.
I Dream to Dream of Time. Yeah, so I'm supposed
to be like, yeah, okay, that's great. People are idiots,
so we gotta we gotta stoop to the lowest common
denominator to say, well, people love it. But Danny g
(29:25):
made a great point. You are you are naming a
holiday or a day and there's something synonymous with you.
Right Christmas Day, NBA, you should be in Thanksgiving Day.
This is our independence and this is what you're celebrating.
Um indeed, hot dogs freedom to eat hot dogs. No,
and again on technicality by definition, yes, maybe it's a sport,
(29:46):
but be realistic. Did a competitive ea? Did something? Did
something happened here? Did did a competitive either? Like steal
your day X Crazy Legs contest? It's so funny. Yeah,
Kobe Kobe Hashi still commute host prom date. It's a
tough story, but you disrespected your hold on. Let's go
to Don, Let's go to Monsey, and then we'll go
(30:06):
to your phone calls eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox Hope you had a happy Fourth of July extended weekend.
We also Joey Chestnutt chokes some guy out. It was
fun and he's sixty three hot dogs, fifteen championships. Don
is it a sport. It's not a sport. Buy any stretch.
It's an extreme hobby. An extreme hobby. It's a stretch
(30:30):
to say that it is. It's a it's a big
time stretch to say that it is Monsey. You literally
checked off every box for what a sport is when
we're talking about it, and you could say it's not
sure because it's not a typical team sport where other
people are around you. But you and I can't do that.
It takes and you're trying to compare it. It's like, well,
I'm gonna train do do this, and all of a sudden,
(30:51):
it's a sport. That's not it. This is obviously something
bigger than you just wanting to break a world record.
Where's the athleticism in that? Dude? If this guy, if
this guy was five hundred pounds and eating sixty three
hot docks, I'll be I wouldn't be as a PRIs.
But this guy is a small dude. He's literally trained
his body to be able to do something. Like you said,
where's the athleticism. There's a lot of things that don't
take quote unquote athleticism. I'm I'm between this monster because
(31:15):
I'm I'm not is not a skill. I'm listening. Shooting
darts is a greater skill. But he's not just stuffing
his face. Don't you see You're you're really downplaying what
he goes through training. Understand that. And I heard about
the aftermath, right, we heard it here on Fox Sports Radio,
Like what he goes through afterward, his body starts to
(31:37):
rumbull and he knows it's go time afterward. I know
he does a lot to be the best at I
think the way it doesn't make it a sport. The
way it makes it a sport and he's an athlete
is I'll give you. I'll give you an analogy. When
a girl is like, I'm a model. If she's just
on Instagram showing her butt cheeks, she's not a model.
(31:59):
But if someone pays her, she's a model. Joey Chestnut
has sponsors, he gets paid. It's an event with a crowd. Now,
if Joey Chesnut was just some bozo eating hot dogs
in the yard, that's a hobby. That's a stupid thing.
It's like the guy going like, it's like a yeah,
but you know it is. We just put it on
a pedestal because we're idiots. No. But but it's what
(32:20):
I just said, was was the analogy. But cheeks on
Instagram not a babe, Ruth. I don't know what I
just heard, but Okay, what does Babe ruth eate a
lot of hot dogs? But what is he known for
hitting home runs? Because that's a sport. He's not known
for any eating hYP he clearly he was in MLB
games Covino sanctioned events. Joey Chestnut has won these events
(32:43):
in these legendary sanctioned events for years. And when she
started off as a mockery and like a joke, almost
like a joke that we just ran, what's turned into
major league eating though, which we should be embarrassed by,
Like why what to you? Why? Because be CIT's a
problem and hot dogs take thirty minutes over your life,
that's why. And I can't even watch it, you know what.
(33:06):
It's like, I want to see the result of you.
You're a big fight fan, Yeah, Right when we were younger,
these guys that were like bare knuckle fighters are doing
the early days of MMA were it was almost considered like, yeah,
they're just a tough guy that knows how to fight.
They're they're they're they're tough. The RAS's form of competition.
But until they got paid and the UFC became a
(33:29):
legitimate organization, they were really just tough guys that fought
at the gym, right, and then it became sport when
money and fans and things become involved. Joey Chestnutt is
getting paid. He has sponsors. Do you have sponsors? Man?
You're so easily swayed because leading into this, you were
like buying no structure of the imagination. Is it a sport?
(33:50):
You let them totally convince you. No, No, I'm calling
I'm what you call a hot dog. I guess what.
I'm open and I changed. I can't change my mind.
No, No No, you know I need a little nap. You
know what, guys, I need a nap. I'm exerted from
all the burgers and dugs I was. I was playing
sports this weekend. Oh would you do Comino? I stuffed
my face like a slob. I had five burgers and
(34:10):
three hot dugs Covino. They're not slobs though. Just about
every guy who came out was built in muscular Okay,
my girl, that was her first observation of the event
yesterday morning. She had never watched it before. She was like,
I thought these guys were gonna be huge, fat slobs.
They're not up there doing WWE posts. Did you see
the guy who drank the lemonade, YEA one. Why are
(34:32):
you talking about the one big guy on the stage.
All the other dudes were other's dudes up there that
are ripped. I do get that, I get all that.
I understand standing in my ground. It's ridiculous that we're
even having this conversation if you don't hates lemonade guys
so bad. The female champ, Mickey, met her husband, who
was also an MLLE performer, and they met at the
(34:53):
gym at the Hotel Covino because they work out every
day like savages. Guess what I want? I want Joey
Chestnut moving forward to be included in every goat conversation
if he's an elite athlete like you guys claim to be,
like you claim he is. Let's go to the phones
eight seven seven ninety nine. Who cares what we think?
You heard our stance? I hope you enjoyed it. But
(35:16):
is hot dog eating a sport? Competitive? Eating your thoughts?
At eight seven seven nine nine on Fox? Can you
on Rich? And for Dan Patrick? Alright? Can you not Rich?
For Dan Patrick? From the Mercedes Benz Studio, Fox Sports Radio,
Good Morning, where he we'll talk some baseball as we
(35:37):
get close to the All Star break, we'll talk some
NBA off season. Hey, maybe maybe the little football off season.
But right now, it's all about the elite athlete. No,
get out of here. Notice, Joey Joe, you know how
I know. I don't see you rocking a Joey Chestnut jersey.
I don't see you rocking air chestnuts. I know so
chestnuts browns? Like yo, can I get some air chests nut?
(36:00):
Hold on? I want to make it very clear by
the way, Kevino and Rich and for Dan Patrick eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, A pleasure to be here.
I hope you had a great one happy fifth of
July A d The fact that he's at this particular competition, like,
I can't take anything away from him being the greatest
at eating hot dogs. A tongue sneaker is a dog
(36:21):
and dog and silhouett I totally respect. I love how
he choked out that protester yesterday. I thought that was great.
I'm not trying to take anything away from his accomplishments.
Sounds like you're in the moonwalking competition already. Yeah again again,
thank you, But you know I'm glad you brought that up, Danny,
(36:41):
because I said, you could say anything's a sport, then
if you go by the definition, you're really stretching hot
dog eating to fit into the definition of what a
sport really is. I'm curious what America thinks. Let's go
to the phones eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox, Jeff,
is it a sport? Tex? What's up? Buddy Caveno? And
Rich Hey Man, I just said this is real quick.
(37:04):
I mean I just thought of this. But if Joy
Chestnut could choke somebody out like that, maybe he needs
to join the MMA. And also maybe he's like the
Maybe he's like Bo Jackson and we don't realize. Maybe
he's got multiple sports possible. He is in good shape,
but he uh. But anyway, I think the question is
is are they athletes or or is it a sport?
Because it is pro wrestling a sport? Because is it
(37:27):
really a competition? Or is it theater? So you're right,
they're great, they're great athletes, but they're Yeah, that's a
good one. But there's there's I would say he's neither.
He's tar. He has a particular set of skills that
do mons yes and morons, you know, circle around to
watch every fourth of July. Thank you, Jeff, Thank you, buddy.
Appreciate it anyway, hold on, I do want to give credit.
(37:49):
Uh Bourbon Badger hit us up on Twitter at Cavino
and Rich and was asking is it a legit sport?
And I gotta be honest, I'm looking at the feedback.
Monsey was adamant on social media if it's a skill,
ticular skill and I can't do it. Yes, it's a sport.
Monsey's a bit extreme. She has a Joey chest off
(38:11):
foam finger. That's true. I mean, but there's a lot
of people chirping on social media too. At Cavino and
Rich's go to the phones, Mike, South Dakota, what's up, hey, Mike,
hey man, thanks for taking my call, guys. But I'm
on the side of it that it is not a sport.
I mean, it's amazing, it's entertainment. You know, they're and
the sponsorship argument, the sponsors are just doing it to
(38:33):
advertise their product. It's not like they're doing it just
because it's a sport or anything. And then the modeling
aspect of it, that's not a sport either. So I mean,
those arguments just not holding the water. Do you have
a fan base. Why do you think we're in the
Mercedes Benz studio because Dan Patrick, he's got listener, he's
got fans. It's it's you don't get sponsors, so sponsorships
(38:55):
makes it support. We've had sponsors. Are we are we athletes? No?
But you're a professional broadcaster. That's successful. Like I said,
you're stretching the definition. If I was. If I was
a juggler and then I decided to form a contest,
I would love it if you were a professional. No. No,
I got sponsors. Man, I got sponsors. The circus has
Brunswick bowling pins. We've all been cut from radio stations
(39:16):
like athletes getting Yeah, that is true. Teams, you know,
I have a competitive juggling competition and it's gonna be
a big deal. I'm gonna I want to go to
the rest of your vocals. But I asked Danny g
Off there and I want to ask you. I'm good
a juggler. Are you what give me? Give me how
this ends? Joey Chestnut has won seven in a row
fifteen total. Does he eventually say I walk away, I
(39:38):
can't be beat, or to some young up and comer,
surprise the world and beat Joey Chestnut. Does he ever
fade because he's beating people by double the dogs? It's
not a close No. I think he goes out on top.
He does it for as long as he does twenty
After twenty titles, he's like, I've officially hung up. I
(39:58):
don't see anyone beating him at this point. He said
in the interview, he feels like he has two good
years left. I don't sounded like Lebron really, he said,
ye about Lebron. By the way, Joey Chestnut was on
the Ben Maller Show recently, so if you want to
check it out Fox Sports Radio dot com. He is
the greatest of what he does. I'm not denying or
debating that. But is it a sport? Is he an athlete?
(40:18):
Is it a sport? Let's go to who do you got,
Sean and Oregon? What's up? Sean? Hey? Thanks for filling
in you guys, Thanks brother, what hey? It's a sport,
like you know, and and there you know, he might
have a little uh you know, it's not quite um
what you would see like most kids trained for in school.
So he's probably not going against a lot of competition.
(40:41):
Not too many people pick this sport out and try
to train for the sport. And I'm not going to
put him up there at John Force and Motorsports. He's
got sixteen world titles. I don't think he's going to
get there to to that kind of uh escalade. And
I also want to say that you know, uh uh
(41:02):
you know about you know, I'm I'm I'm locking up.
You guys have a great day. Hey, Joey Chestnut never
locks up. Appreciate that you made a great point. Though.
Think about it, There's so many people worldwide growing up
kicking a soccer ball or playing baseball. It's a childhood
(41:23):
dream and people practice everywhere. Some people have weird dreams.
Some people have weird dream This is a smaller sample
size of competitiveness. So you're saying, if more people put
their mind to it, you could be a Joey Chestnut too. Possibly. Well,
we got a bunch of gets to your feedback your
phone calls, hang tight. Uh more Covin and rich In
(41:43):
for Dan Patrick next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio from the Mercedes Man Game. What's going on?
Rich Das from the Mercedes Best Studios. Cavino and Rich,
I'm Steve Cavino. Good morning and Guten Morgan to our
German friends listening to Morgan happy Sinco de Julio for
(00:22):
our Spanish speaking friends, Ah, yes, Sinco de Julio the
fifth of July. And since we're at it, just to
shout out to all the Julios. A lot of Julio's
listening from the Mario. It's Cavino and Rich. What's up?
Fifth of July? A couple hundred years ago, everyone was
thinking to themselves, all right, now we got Independence Day one?
What are we doing? What did they do? What did
they do? All right, now we did it? What did
(00:44):
they do? Now? One? Hey, maybe we'll figure it out later.
Probably not what you're gonna lead with her. But we're
the most interactive show, hey, one on Fox Sports Radio
according to US. So let's go. Eight seven, seven ninety
nine on Fox is the number we're at. Cavino and Rich,
Spotties here, Danny g is he Yeah, Don Brown and
Monsey here and thank you guys for waking up with us.
(01:05):
As my mom would say, rich growing up, and I
still don't know what it means. Wait what your mom
would say, Steve, and you're so handsome? Oh she still
says that. What else would your mom say? My mother
is a smother. Yeah, she's like Beverly Goldberg because she
very much is. No, she would say, back to the
old Grindstone. Would your mom work with Fred Flintstone? Yeah,
(01:26):
she worked for mister Slate. Yes, okay, apparently so as
you guys had to work today, we wish you the best.
Hope you had a great weekend. Extended weekend which means
short work week, which I'm all about not but how's
your fourth man? How's your fourth? I made some observations.
We're gonna get into sports. Don't worry, Joey Chestnut. Is
this guy a beast or what we'll get? I thought
(01:47):
you said we were getting too sports. Well, you know,
Moncy and Danny g you're gonna fight you on this song. Okay,
we'll talk Joey Chestnut, we'll talk some baseball. As we
were pretty much at the halfway point. We're not at
the All Star break. But if you do a little math.
Everyone's played about eighty eighty one game, so do it
times two. And if your team is keeping pace, this
is where you look at your superstars and say, all right,
(02:09):
if they got like sixty ribbies, this guy could have
one hundred and twenty RBI at the end of the year.
I had sixty ribbies at the barbecue yesterday. I did
some good ribbies, some good burghers. Hold that note because
I made some ribs. I made some ribs, and I
have a story about it. Fair enough some of my
Fourth of July observations, So let's let's get to those
Fourth of July observations eight seven, seven, nine nine on Fox.
(02:31):
Danny J I'll give him props with this one. But
what is with people recording fireworks shows on their phone? Danny?
I agree with you. I wonder about this every year,
even back in the day when people had those huge
cam quarters. I used to wonder, what is that person
going to do with that cam quarter tape? But do
(02:52):
they market like you know, back then, was it like
nineteen ninety seven fireworks Disneyland and they fileo it way
in there? Hey, como, you want to come over next weekend? Yeah?
What do you want to do Bro, you want to
watch a fight the game No, no, no, Calabastis two
thousand and nine Fireworks Show you gotta watch again. You know,
I'm with you guys, of course, and when we all agree,
(03:13):
it's fact. It's ridiculous, right, What a waste of storage
and space and VHS cassette tape, as as Danny G referenced.
But I could see I could see your dad doing something,
you know, like there's a particular type of person, like
a guy's way to you seeing what I got nineteen
eighty six. Richie loved it and how apoc long. Oh yeah,
(03:33):
it was a the Groucci Brothers put on a display
in New York City. It was a finale. Oh my god,
the finale. Don't you remember, Richie? You remember you with
clapping your hands, you said, oh, and uh, I could
see your dad like he's the type of guy that
wants you to watch and relive the experience with him.
But for the most part, yeah, what a waste. And
(03:55):
Danny you said you saw tons of people just looking
up the sky, recording the entire not even just a
little portion for social media, but like the whole thing. Yes,
Spotty made a good point. He was saying, if you
want to record a few seconds to say, hey, this
is where I'm at celebrating with everyone. I get that,
but men and women and a couple of kids I
saw were recording the entire thing with their cell phone.
(04:16):
You know what it is, You don't ever watch that back.
I know you never watch it back for you. You
know what. I don't know if this was the case,
but if you're a new parent, right, everything your kid
experiences for the first few times is always the most special, right, like, oh, hey, honey,
don't you love the firework? My daughters, I love the
fire you look at make a wish, honey, just remember
(04:39):
this forever. My daughter say like this is the best
day ever, and that warms my heart. But you know
what I did, spots right, He said it off the
air before he came in, and he said, if you
got like ten or fifteen seconds on the ig or
you're putting something on TikTok, and if you're recording a
few seconds just to be like, here's what I'm doing,
let me be the social media person. That's one thing.
(05:00):
You know what, maybe you're waiting for a moment, like
you're waiting for something crazy to happen, or maybe even
just like you're waiting for your kid to get emotional,
like you just want to you don't want to miss.
You're waiting for an upside down smiley face. Yes, yeah,
the watermelon. You're waiting for the watermelon. You know what
what upset me? I heard Monsey say this morning. She goes,
I don't even like fireworks. They haven't done anything new ever.
(05:22):
You know what that attitude says to me. That the
same person. We love Monsey, but it's the same person
that says they don't like New Year's Eve in the
studio over there somewhere, I am here crying somewhere. I
am here. What I sound like? Okay, so it's I
hate fireworks. I'm not impressed by fireworks. They did the
(05:45):
same fireworks for thirty years, and I'm not impressed. Somebody
add that to her BioStat mony love sports hates fireworks.
Big Dodgers girl hates fireworks. Fireworks night at Dodger Stadium.
No thanks, Oh no, that's fine. If you know, Disneyland
wants to do it, cities want to do it when
it's New Year's What I don't want is my neighborhood
to be doing bombs still, three am, arms going off.
(06:10):
I'm trying to sleep. You're the one that hate it
pets hate it's hot? Are you the one that complains
on the neighborhood apps that this sounds aloud? Complain? But
I do go outside and I stare at them when
it's one in the morning. Can we stop? That's a
bit late and listen. I'm a night Monty, I'm a
pet owner. Comito and I talked about this the other
day here on Fox Sports. But as much as you
(06:32):
love your pets, it's the fourth of July. It's once
a year. Your your dog could be Your dog could
be scared for two hours of its year. It's not
even just scared. Listen. My dog, my Dexter, my three legged,
eighty five pound pit bull, actually is not afraid of fireworks,
so he's not an issue. But dogs run away. I
have found dogs that like ran away from home and
the owner was like, it got so scared it like
(06:54):
squeezed through the fence. That happens. It happened to me.
It was twenty sixteen, and I have it on on
my phone if you want to watch it. My thought
my dog away really firework displaying. Oh it was legendary.
You gotta see my doggie went running the right away. No,
it's true story, monster, It did happen to me. So
(07:15):
I'm somewhat sympathetic to it. But you know, it takes
precedence over doggies, you know, being frightened. Just everyone enjoying
their weekend. What about veterans. Veterans also hate it. They
don't like it. They can hang out inside for a night.
I mean, I respect veterans more than anyone, but like,
we can't just be like no fireworks, fiorks. Thank you,
Thank you for your service as well. Ended this conversation. Next,
(07:39):
thank you for your service. Thank you for your services. Bam,
how about this. They're just they're beautiful. I do, I
get a little emotionally beautiful. And you know what, I
thought this was going to be the year that I
didn't see any fireworks, but I was. I was mistaken
because you and I again, welcome to Cavino and rich
In for Dan Patrick. We do Fox Sports Sunday. Yeah,
(08:01):
so we were on Sunday night and my kid, my sister,
my family went on Sunday night to see the fireworks.
I was like, I guess I'm not seeing any this year,
but sure enough last night did not disappoint. Just out
of my patio. Out of my patio and you can
see all the different you ever take a flight on
like a Fourth of July and you see every little township,
(08:22):
every little community doing their display. I could see all
different displays from my patio. To record it, We'll never know.
I felt so dumb. I was flying back from New
Orleans the other day. I had to go host an
event for a serious XM. And I'm flying back in Saturday,
which was the second, right, Yeah, Saturday, the second that
(08:42):
would be DOS Day Juliolio. Yes, very important day in
the community. And I see all the fireworks displays as
i'm you know, as the planes pulling into Lax and
I hit up my wife and go, baby, was beautiful.
For some reason, there's all these fireworks, She goes. Could
the reason be that it's Fourth of July weekend. I'm like,
oh my god, I'm such a dummy. I totally forgot.
(09:02):
But it's beautiful. Have you ever been on a plane
and you're like sort of pulling into the airport, It's like, yeah,
it's incredible. And I saw plenty last night. Hey. The
point is we hope you enjoyed your display. It's not
for everybody, clearly, Monsey has like, yeah, I'm sick of this.
I don't like the loud noises. And I get that
because as the meme goes, like are those gunshots or
(09:23):
fireworks here in Los Angeles? Right? And that's a scary,
touchy subject, but it's true because at night, you really
don't know. At night, you're like, what is going on?
And it did sound like World War three all night
long here in Los Angeles. People don't know when to stop.
That's the truth, because everyone's doing there. You know what happened,
rich The pandemic sort of opened up the floodgates to
(09:46):
have everyone just put on their own little private display
from their driveway like old school days. So because remember
they didn't exist for the past few years, we didn't
get together for the past few years, so you just
see them going off all night long. Lionel Richie Stole. Oh,
but I'd find him to be beautiful, Like I do,
get a little emotional, especially when you're here and I'm
(10:08):
proud to be an American O night. Yeah. I have
one other observation then, and then we'll move on to
Joey Chestnut and some baseball, some basketball, some MBA. Um.
My last observation Fourth of July style is Miley Cyrus
has now made the cut. You notice this too, Danny. Yeah,
(10:29):
it's always Lee Greenwood goes, I'm proud to be an American.
It's Lake Keith the American Soldier song. Yes, it's James
Brown living in America. It's Neil Diamonds, We're coming to America.
Bruce Springsteen born in the USA. And now I agree
with dude, Danny. Somehow Miley Cyrus Party in the USA
has infiltrated the Fourth of July mix. Yeah, you know,
(10:54):
doesn't feel right. The weakest fun fact about that is
she has claimed she had never heard jay Z song
prior to that. Yeah, and the jay Z song was on.
According to her, she had never heard of jay Z
songs like you've you've never heard at that point of
her election was fifteen. Come on, come on, Yeah, that's
that's ridiculous. So we hope you had a great fourth.
(11:17):
Let's have a great fifth. What did Americans do on
the fifth of July, their first day of freedom? We'll
discuss that. Well, we'll figure out what we're gonna do
and who we're going to celebrate later on. But I
had one last obvia servation, Rich, I want you to
think about so again. I celebrated on Sunday prior to
our Fox Sports Sunday show. Had a little barbecue or
(11:38):
should I say grilled. I was grilling. I don't mean
to offend the actual barbecuers out there. I was grilling.
They get very effected, right of course. Well you know
I'm not your hamburgers, hot dogs, and chicken. Is not barbecuing.
When some dudes like I got this brisket going for hours,
I need a new reference spot, so can you help
me find one. I'm not Ray Lampy, doctor barbecue. That
(12:00):
you only make that reference because probably ten plus years
ago on our show, we had a guy that had
a cookbook and he called himself doctor Barbecue. Right, I'm
not Ray Lampy. I don't know who else to reference
flavor toown with your buddy Guy Fietti. Yeah, I'm not
like the mayor of flavor Town, but I do my best.
So here's my question. I'm out there and you really
don't care about other people's preference other than no cheese
(12:22):
cheese or no cheese, right, Aaron Franklin, Yeah, I'm not.
I'm not Aaron Franklin currently He's like the big barbecue.
Oh really, I'm no Aaron Franklin. I'm Steve Cavino. My
skills are minimal at best when it comes to grilling.
You know, my my The fanciest I get is I
cut little slits into the hot hooks at the ends
because they start to crill at the ends, and that's
kind of how you know when they're done. You also
(12:44):
put a dimple in your burgers so they don't bubble
up sometimes. Yeah, I used to see my uncle Mary,
I'll do that. So I do that tradition, family tradition.
So I'm there and Jordan's like, I'm making ribs. I
really don't know how to make ribs, but like I said,
is it the hardest thing. I don't know. But I'm
there and my brother in law's like, hey, I can
(13:06):
help you out with that, and he sort of just
jumps on really without asking. He just did it right.
Next thing I know, I'm like, this stuff isn't cooking
up the way it's supposed to, Like why why is?
Then I realized he knocked. He shut the grill off
on me, so I'm sitting So then I'm sitting there
for another like you know, the grill's off, dude, And
(13:27):
then it dawn on me. You can't like just man
someone else's grill. You can't just take over someone else's grill.
It's like against the rules. Yeah, and I want to
know how you guys feel, like you know what it's like.
It's like going into an Italian mom's kitchen on Christmas
Eve or something. Yeah, you don't do it. Imagine that.
Imagine going too, Imagine going into the kitchen on Christmas
Eve and trying to take over mom's situation. And I'm
(13:50):
not even like one of those super possessive it's my grill,
my barbecue. And I felt that way, like, yeah, dude,
beat it kind of. This is my show. I'm doing
my thing. You guys sit there and wait for the
hot dogs. I got this because then again, like I said,
he messed up and it happened to me before in
other circumstances, which is the reminder here on the show,
(14:10):
Like I don't think you take the initiative to just
take someone else's as your dad was. Ay, my thongs
and start flipping burgers and taking you know, liberties here
where it's not your house, it's not your grill. What
do you guys think about that? Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox Can you man someone else's grill? Plus,
(14:31):
we gotta talk about Joey Chestnut. Oh, this guy he
is now if he wasn't already legend, something he pulled
off yesterday makes him even. The guy's like a mythical
creature now he is. But the question of the day
is is it a sport? Is Joey Chestnut an athlete?
Is what he does a sport? Is it a sport?
(14:53):
We'll take your feedback next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
Com you on rich and for Dan Patrick. Be sure
to catch the live edition of The Dan Patrick Show
weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on Fox
Sports Radio in the iHeart Radio app. Good morning, Buen
(15:18):
else Es, can y'all say Adobe? What's up? On? It's
Fox Sports Radio Live from the Mercedes Benz Studio. Cavino
and rich In for Dan Patrick. Eight seven seven ninety
nine on Fox. Hope you had a great weekend. Hope
you enjoined our show on Sunday. If not Fox Sports
Radio dot Com. Hopefully you're joining the show right now. Yeah,
(15:41):
we're a few East Coast buffoons. Speak for yourself out
here in Los Angeles. I've been living out here for
a long time now, and we're happy to be filling
in for Dan Patrick. Hope you had a nice weekend.
Hope you enjoyed your barbecue. We're gonna talk about manning
someone else's grill later on. You want to go to
Tom right now? He has a thought about it. Let's
(16:02):
go to Tom. Tom. What's up, buddy? You're on in
New York. Hey, good morning, guys. Love the show, Thanks Bud.
What's up? Yeah? Devon a red card? Uh, you don't
mess with another man's garrel. I had a guy one
time backyard barbecue. Came over after I put the cheese
on the burgers and and you know, criticized that the
cheese was too big for the burgers of wrapping around
(16:22):
the side. So he proceeded to pick up pieces of
cheese and started trimming them right up to the size
of the burger and asked me to do it again.
And I asked him to leave. Oh, that's you know appropriate. Wait,
how who was this guy like who was he to you?
He was just the clown of the neighborhood. You know,
he's one of those guys that uh, you know, fixes
(16:43):
his transmission of his car with the pop top with
a soda can and just kind of kind of a jerk.
Who would you do in that scenarios for real though,
because you know, yeah, would you really escort the guy? Hey,
get this guy out here? You sweep mak No, You
at first, with a laugh in your voice, say hey,
(17:04):
I'll beat it man, and then if he doesn't get it, no, no,
I got this where I'm good, And you keep going
from laughter in your voice too serious progressively as he
doesn't listen, you have to assign him a menial task
that really means nothing, but we'll distract him. Hey, neighborhood bozzo,
can you go go get the catchup please? Out of
the fridge. No, it's really like a subliminal like you're
(17:25):
not the man of your own house. It really is
like I'm taking over your grill because I think you're
enough to handle it. And again, I'm no meathead Goldwin.
You know who meet head Goldwin is. He's the barbecue
whisper Barbecue Hall of Fame, I know, meat head Goldwyn.
You know I grill here and there, but I don't
expect anyone else to try to man my own grill
(17:45):
at my own house. And I do think it matters
who it is, because sometimes is coming from a good place.
Sometimes this guy just thinks again, he's better than you.
It's like the guy that pulls his car into and
reverse the park. What do you think you're better than me?
You are you think you're better than me because you
backed your car in, Meathead Goldwin? Huh meahead Goldwyn again. Yesterday,
(18:09):
actually Sunday, it was my brother in law who was like,
you know, he took over my grill, ended up shutting
it off, sort of ruined my whole flow. But again
it's my brother in law. I can't get mad about that.
It did happen to me one time when it was
like mixed company. It was like the girlfriend the boyfriend
of some girl that was at my house and he
(18:31):
just like sort of like like I got this, and
it's like, yo, beat it, dude. I don't know a
guy like you that doesn't even care about cooking. It
might be a relief to you, though. Some people like
fun if you want to cook I'll chill. I'll chill
with a drink. If you want to do the cooking,
have at it. I do get that. But you're hosting
a party, it's your place, you have company over. I
remember feeling a little disrespected when that happened, and you
(18:52):
gave the best analogy. It's like trying to infiltrate an
old Italian mom's kitchen. Can you imagine a young woman saying, no,
I got it? Like, no, you don't. It's just one
of those things you don't do. Step aside, streggana, I
got this. It's just something that you don't. This is disrespect.
I think eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox your
(19:13):
Fourth of July observations and we're gonna talk about Joey Chestnot.
But you grabbing a big knife and you carve the
turkey at someone else's house without asking. I got this. Yeah, no,
I chop your hand off. Well, I'm intrusive. I think.
I think yesterday a lot of people enjoyed some good cooking,
some good barbecue, some good Uh, what is your favorite
(19:35):
thing that's that's not so easy on the grill when
someone spends the whole day. Let me let me tie
this back to spourth doing some type of brisket or something.
I know on the fourth of julyer one's excited about,
you know, the big hot dog eating contest. It's contest.
It's not a sport, and we'll explain. But when I'm
there on the grill, and when I'm there chilling and grilling,
(19:57):
I like to watch the ball game. And a lot
of teams are off on Mondays and Thursdays. I'm talking
baseball Mondays and Thursdays. But the Yankees always seemed to
play on fourth of July. They're the Yankees, mana Yo. Honestly,
I was a little disappointed. I'm like, why, I gotta
be honest, I like I turned into a big baby
when they're off, right, because I'm such an entitled sports guy.
(20:19):
I'm like, I want my team to play. I want
them to be on. I don't like off days because
I look forward to that, like it's just comfort food,
kind of like I need them on every night, and
they seem to play every fourth of July. They're the Yankees.
I feel like it just goes hand in hand. I
feel like you're making this up, dude. It's an article
today The New York post that even the Yankees were like,
(20:42):
why were we off on fourth of July? Kind of
fired me down. I'm not gonna lie. So I was
just there, you know, enjoying the day doing nothing. I
was kind of bored all day yesterday, sitting there whistling
Yankee doodle dandy. Yeah, but I wanted to see I
wanted to see some baseball on the day off. I
(21:02):
did no Yanks, no fun. I've always said that, no Yanks,
no fun. I've always said that, who's the barbecue guy again,
Meathead Goldwin? Yeah, Meathhead Goldwin. It's the true that you
lost a girlfriend once to that guy. Meathead Goldwin, also
known as the barbecue whisper Meathead. He sounds like a
(21:24):
guy for the Jersey Shore. Meathead Goldwin hangs out with
the Sitch PAULI d all right, so let's talk about
Joey Chestnut. This guy, we've met him before. Really good dude,
really nice fella. This guy does something that none of
us could do in our wildest dreams. He's a hot
(21:48):
dog eating champion. Tell you hate to interrupt, but my
wildest dreams never include eating hot dogs. That's true. Somehow,
I pictured they did no nope, nope. Nothing about your
wildest dreams include dogs, nothing, nothing, but the question is
this Nope, not even in my wildest dreams. Is it
(22:10):
a sport? Danny j you start is hot dog eating?
And what Joey Chestnut what he does on an annual basis.
We talked about this a little bit on the Sunday
Night Show with You and it is a sport, the
reason being he trains, so do the other professional leaders.
(22:30):
They have to train. And Joey was on that Fifth
Hour podcast with Ben Maller, like we spoke about this
past weekend, he was asked that question, are you an athlete?
And he said, I have to look at it that
way because of my training, because of all the events
I have to do to warm up for the Super
Bowl of Eating, which took place yesterday morning. There and Coney, well,
(22:51):
I understand that that he has to view it as
bus sport because it's a competition, right, It is a competition.
So I understand he has a reputation to upkeep and
he's the guy, so he probably puts an immense amount
of pressure on him to deliver and perform. He made
a good point in that interview. Right after that though Covino.
He said that it wasn't that long ago where a
(23:13):
lot of folks thought that golfers weren't even athletes. Yeah,
golfers are athletes, and we have found out since that, Yes, indeed,
golfers are athletes. So I mean, you could argue that,
but everything evolves. That is a great argument, and we're
going to open it up to you eight seven seven
(23:33):
ninety nine on Fox. Is it a sport? Congratulations? He
ate what sixty three hot dogs in a minute after
being interrupted by protesters. Yes, we still have to celebrate
the guy. That was the coolest moment. Yeah, it was incredible.
That was the greatest moment. I'm sure you've seen that
on social media. If not, look it up at some
point this hard way. He was like extra aggressive with this.
(23:53):
He's mid dog, right. Monsey made a great point before
the show in our meeting. She was saying he even
had to play defense the way he took that guy
down to the ground and then he got right back
up and ran the ball some more. They got to
throw obstacles at Joey chest not to even level the
playing field. He beats everyone by I feel like double
(24:16):
the dogs. Well, I think his own record was seventy six, right,
and he didn't even need to try to beat that
this year. And plus he was interrupted by a protester
that he choked down with a broken leg. He was
on a crunch and again, like he'd done this before,
he choke some dude out so great, I thought he
broke the guy's neck. Some protester came up there mid
(24:37):
dog like rich said, put him in a headline. How
many dogs? Sixty? But the question he was like fifteen
when this happened. Is it a sport? And I want
to hear from Monsey and Don Brown? But spot, spotty, spot,
please give us the definition? Can I give you a
(24:57):
fun fact? First? Give us a fun fact and every
definition of a sport? You know, how many combined hot
dogs he's eaten at this event? One thousand, one hundred
and fifty two. Wow, A lot of lizzies? How many
hot dogs you think you've eaten in your life? A
lot of night rates at night? Don't you lose thirty
minutes for every half dogs? Thirty minutes? That was the
(25:18):
stat recently. Life. Yeah, it's thirty minutes of your life. Yeah,
they say that about milkshakes too. I'm not buying it.
I'm not buying it. The definition of a sport, The
definition of a supporting to Miriam and Webster. Okay, an
activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual
or team competes against another or others for entertainment. Okay,
(25:40):
I say it's a sport. Technicality, it's a sport. On
the technicality, it is being a hater. But I'm standing
my ground and saying, well, then you could. You could
make up anything, Just make up anything like, yeah, I moonwalking,
you moonwalk. I'm gonna train to be the best moonwalker.
We're going to compete every fifth of July. That's a
sport because we're competing and we're training for this one competition.
(26:03):
You could die doing it. You are a gladiator, and
that's a sport. Yeah. You know one of the guys
underneath his byeline instead he ate two hundred and seventy
five hallopgos in eight minutes. Wow, it's not a sport.
Died from me, that's silly. Yes, And you know what
you can and I respect you for going out there
and doing your best and being in a competition. Right,
(26:25):
it's a competition. I get all that it's a contest,
it's an event, it's a spectacle. It's not a sport.
It just isn't you know? Are you training your body
to do something specific? Yeah, but there's a lot of
gross examples that I could give too, and I won't
on Fox Sports Radio. It's like, okay, so if I
did that, it's a sport. It's really gluttony at its
highest form. You know, it's not a sport. Bro is
(26:49):
he an elite? Okay, it's a sport and he's got
fifteen titles now due all right, I want to prove
everybody wrong. Right now, when we talk about the goats,
we talk about Jordan, Ali Gretzky, Tom Brady. Where's Joey Chestnuts?
He's right next to Bill Russell. Okay, No, we don't
even include We don't even include Michael Phelps where he
(27:12):
should be included, right or wrong? Right? And we talked
about recently, I said, what about throwing Bruce Lee into
that conversation for what he did for martial arts and
now mixed martial arts? Right? No, no, but Joey Chestnut,
give me a brain. Honestly, this was gross about this country.
I understand. Oh, it's our freedoms and that's what's great
about it. No, it's not. It's gross, and it's fun
(27:33):
for some not for this guy. Therefore not a sport
because you could compete and train to do anything. I
could go, Hey, you see his pen. I'm gonna make
a stick into the ceiling. I don't know why people
do should do that? Right? Hey? Hey, whoever gets the
most wins? Am I an athlete? Now? Because I trained
at that? You forgot Raphael Nadal? And by the way,
your former employer split the screen between Joey Chestnut and Nadal.
(27:57):
That's yesterday to open it. You know. Yes, they should
be embarrassed because cornhole cornhole, which they also air, is
more of a sport than eating hot dogs. I don't
know about that. Now, that's a barbecue, like fat guy
in the yard could like cornhole to mean that's a
skill concl It is true that Joey Chestnut holds the
honor of having the most championships in a single event.
Is that true? Fifty? How many? Bill? How many NBA titles?
(28:21):
Does Bill Russell have eleven? I think yes, it's true
most championships in a single event. Nadal only had fourteen. Okay,
if you guys are so strong on your stance, then
next time we talk about goats and you don't bring
up Joey Chestnut, get you get, you get a sat.
I don't have a strong stance. I have more of
like a Craig Counsel stance, like so of an awkward
(28:42):
stand council. He was very mad. Yes I did not.
Why would I bring up Craig Council? And that's so coincident? Thought?
What was what was going on? Craik Counsel? He was
all mad about calls And I don't know Covino, the NBA,
they have Christmas, NFL, they have Thanksgiving right New Year's Eve,
college ball, bull games, fourth of July. What athletic event
(29:03):
are we all tuning into? So great? Legendary? You pay
to see that Joey people do? But would you pay
to see that that's a hold on the people? Do?
A million people bought Susan Boyle CD when it came out.
I Dream to Dream of Time. Yeah, so I'm supposed
to be like, yeah, okay, that's great. People are idiots,
so we gotta we gotta stoop to the lowest common
denominator to say, well, people love it. But Danny g
(29:25):
made a great point. You are you are naming a
holiday or a day and there's something synonymous with you.
Right Christmas Day, NBA, you should be in Thanksgiving Day.
This is our independence and this is what you're celebrating.
Um indeed, hot dogs freedom to eat hot dogs. No,
and again on technicality by definition, yes, maybe it's a sport,
(29:46):
but be realistic. Did a competitive ea? Did something? Did
something happened here? Did did a competitive either? Like steal
your day X Crazy Legs contest? It's so funny. Yeah,
Kobe Kobe Hashi still commute host prom date. It's a
tough story, but you disrespected your hold on. Let's go
to Don, Let's go to Monsey, and then we'll go
(30:06):
to your phone calls eight seven seven ninety nine on
Fox Hope you had a happy Fourth of July extended weekend.
We also Joey Chestnutt chokes some guy out. It was
fun and he's sixty three hot dogs, fifteen championships. Don
is it a sport. It's not a sport. Buy any stretch.
It's an extreme hobby. An extreme hobby. It's a stretch
(30:30):
to say that it is. It's a it's a big
time stretch to say that it is Monsey. You literally
checked off every box for what a sport is when
we're talking about it, and you could say it's not
sure because it's not a typical team sport where other
people are around you. But you and I can't do that.
It takes and you're trying to compare it. It's like, well,
I'm gonna train do do this, and all of a sudden,
(30:51):
it's a sport. That's not it. This is obviously something
bigger than you just wanting to break a world record.
Where's the athleticism in that? Dude? If this guy, if
this guy was five hundred pounds and eating sixty three
hot docks, I'll be I wouldn't be as a PRIs.
But this guy is a small dude. He's literally trained
his body to be able to do something. Like you said,
where's the athleticism. There's a lot of things that don't
take quote unquote athleticism. I'm I'm between this monster because
(31:15):
I'm I'm not is not a skill. I'm listening. Shooting
darts is a greater skill. But he's not just stuffing
his face. Don't you see You're you're really downplaying what
he goes through training. Understand that. And I heard about
the aftermath, right, we heard it here on Fox Sports Radio,
Like what he goes through afterward, his body starts to
(31:37):
rumbull and he knows it's go time afterward. I know
he does a lot to be the best at I
think the way it doesn't make it a sport. The
way it makes it a sport and he's an athlete
is I'll give you. I'll give you an analogy. When
a girl is like, I'm a model. If she's just
on Instagram showing her butt cheeks, she's not a model.
(31:59):
But if someone pays her, she's a model. Joey Chestnut
has sponsors, he gets paid. It's an event with a crowd. Now,
if Joey Chesnut was just some bozo eating hot dogs
in the yard, that's a hobby. That's a stupid thing.
It's like the guy going like, it's like a yeah,
but you know it is. We just put it on
a pedestal because we're idiots. No. But but it's what
(32:20):
I just said, was was the analogy. But cheeks on
Instagram not a babe, Ruth. I don't know what I
just heard, but Okay, what does Babe ruth eate a
lot of hot dogs? But what is he known for
hitting home runs? Because that's a sport. He's not known
for any eating hYP he clearly he was in MLB
games Covino sanctioned events. Joey Chestnut has won these events
(32:43):
in these legendary sanctioned events for years. And when she
started off as a mockery and like a joke, almost
like a joke that we just ran, what's turned into
major league eating though, which we should be embarrassed by,
Like why what to you? Why? Because be CIT's a
problem and hot dogs take thirty minutes over your life,
that's why. And I can't even watch it, you know what.
(33:06):
It's like, I want to see the result of you.
You're a big fight fan, Yeah, Right when we were younger,
these guys that were like bare knuckle fighters are doing
the early days of MMA were it was almost considered like, yeah,
they're just a tough guy that knows how to fight.
They're they're they're they're tough. The RAS's form of competition.
But until they got paid and the UFC became a
(33:29):
legitimate organization, they were really just tough guys that fought
at the gym, right, and then it became sport when
money and fans and things become involved. Joey Chestnutt is
getting paid. He has sponsors. Do you have sponsors? Man?
You're so easily swayed because leading into this, you were
like buying no structure of the imagination. Is it a sport?
(33:50):
You let them totally convince you. No, No, I'm calling
I'm what you call a hot dog. I guess what.
I'm open and I changed. I can't change my mind.
No, No No, you know I need a little nap. You
know what, guys, I need a nap. I'm exerted from
all the burgers and dugs I was. I was playing
sports this weekend. Oh would you do Comino? I stuffed
my face like a slob. I had five burgers and
(34:10):
three hot dugs Covino. They're not slobs though. Just about
every guy who came out was built in muscular Okay,
my girl, that was her first observation of the event
yesterday morning. She had never watched it before. She was like,
I thought these guys were gonna be huge, fat slobs.
They're not up there doing WWE posts. Did you see
the guy who drank the lemonade, YEA one. Why are
(34:32):
you talking about the one big guy on the stage.
All the other dudes were other's dudes up there that
are ripped. I do get that, I get all that.
I understand standing in my ground. It's ridiculous that we're
even having this conversation if you don't hates lemonade guys
so bad. The female champ, Mickey, met her husband, who
was also an MLLE performer, and they met at the
(34:53):
gym at the Hotel Covino because they work out every
day like savages. Guess what I want? I want Joey
Chestnut moving forward to be included in every goat conversation
if he's an elite athlete like you guys claim to be,
like you claim he is. Let's go to the phones
eight seven seven ninety nine. Who cares what we think?
You heard our stance? I hope you enjoyed it. But
(35:16):
is hot dog eating a sport? Competitive? Eating your thoughts?
At eight seven seven nine nine on Fox? Can you
on Rich? And for Dan Patrick? Alright? Can you not Rich?
For Dan Patrick? From the Mercedes Benz Studio, Fox Sports Radio,
Good Morning, where he we'll talk some baseball as we
(35:37):
get close to the All Star break, we'll talk some
NBA off season. Hey, maybe maybe the little football off season.
But right now, it's all about the elite athlete. No,
get out of here. Notice, Joey Joe, you know how
I know. I don't see you rocking a Joey Chestnut jersey.
I don't see you rocking air chestnuts. I know so
chestnuts browns? Like yo, can I get some air chests nut?
(36:00):
Hold on? I want to make it very clear by
the way, Kevino and Rich and for Dan Patrick eight
seven seven ninety nine on Fox, A pleasure to be here.
I hope you had a great one happy fifth of
July A d The fact that he's at this particular competition, like,
I can't take anything away from him being the greatest
at eating hot dogs. A tongue sneaker is a dog
(36:21):
and dog and silhouett I totally respect. I love how
he choked out that protester yesterday. I thought that was great.
I'm not trying to take anything away from his accomplishments.
Sounds like you're in the moonwalking competition already. Yeah again again,
thank you, But you know I'm glad you brought that up, Danny,
(36:41):
because I said, you could say anything's a sport, then
if you go by the definition, you're really stretching hot
dog eating to fit into the definition of what a
sport really is. I'm curious what America thinks. Let's go
to the phones eight seven seven ninety nine one Fox, Jeff,
is it a sport? Tex? What's up? Buddy Caveno? And
Rich Hey Man, I just said this is real quick.
(37:04):
I mean I just thought of this. But if Joy
Chestnut could choke somebody out like that, maybe he needs
to join the MMA. And also maybe he's like the
Maybe he's like Bo Jackson and we don't realize. Maybe
he's got multiple sports possible. He is in good shape,
but he uh. But anyway, I think the question is
is are they athletes or or is it a sport?
Because it is pro wrestling a sport? Because is it
(37:27):
really a competition? Or is it theater? So you're right,
they're great, they're great athletes, but they're Yeah, that's a
good one. But there's there's I would say he's neither.
He's tar. He has a particular set of skills that
do mons yes and morons, you know, circle around to
watch every fourth of July. Thank you, Jeff, Thank you, buddy.
Appreciate it anyway, hold on, I do want to give credit.
(37:49):
Uh Bourbon Badger hit us up on Twitter at Cavino
and Rich and was asking is it a legit sport?
And I gotta be honest, I'm looking at the feedback.
Monsey was adamant on social media if it's a skill,
ticular skill and I can't do it. Yes, it's a sport.
Monsey's a bit extreme. She has a Joey chest off
(38:11):
foam finger. That's true. I mean, but there's a lot
of people chirping on social media too. At Cavino and
Rich's go to the phones, Mike, South Dakota, what's up, hey, Mike,
hey man, thanks for taking my call, guys. But I'm
on the side of it that it is not a sport.
I mean, it's amazing, it's entertainment. You know, they're and
the sponsorship argument, the sponsors are just doing it to
(38:33):
advertise their product. It's not like they're doing it just
because it's a sport or anything. And then the modeling
aspect of it, that's not a sport either. So I mean,
those arguments just not holding the water. Do you have
a fan base. Why do you think we're in the
Mercedes Benz studio because Dan Patrick, he's got listener, he's
got fans. It's it's you don't get sponsors, so sponsorships
(38:55):
makes it support. We've had sponsors. Are we are we athletes? No?
But you're a professional broadcaster. That's successful. Like I said,
you're stretching the definition. If I was. If I was
a juggler and then I decided to form a contest,
I would love it if you were a professional. No. No,
I got sponsors. Man, I got sponsors. The circus has
Brunswick bowling pins. We've all been cut from radio stations
(39:16):
like athletes getting Yeah, that is true. Teams, you know,
I have a competitive juggling competition and it's gonna be
a big deal. I'm gonna I want to go to
the rest of your vocals. But I asked Danny g
Off there and I want to ask you. I'm good
a juggler. Are you what give me? Give me how
this ends? Joey Chestnut has won seven in a row
fifteen total. Does he eventually say I walk away, I
(39:38):
can't be beat, or to some young up and comer,
surprise the world and beat Joey Chestnut. Does he ever
fade because he's beating people by double the dogs? It's
not a close No. I think he goes out on top.
He does it for as long as he does twenty
After twenty titles, he's like, I've officially hung up. I
(39:58):
don't see anyone beating him at this point. He said
in the interview, he feels like he has two good
years left. I don't sounded like Lebron really, he said,
ye about Lebron. By the way, Joey Chestnut was on
the Ben Maller Show recently, so if you want to
check it out Fox Sports Radio dot com. He is
the greatest of what he does. I'm not denying or
debating that. But is it a sport? Is he an athlete?
(40:18):
Is it a sport? Let's go to who do you got,
Sean and Oregon? What's up? Sean? Hey? Thanks for filling
in you guys, Thanks brother, what hey? It's a sport,
like you know, and and there you know, he might
have a little uh you know, it's not quite um
what you would see like most kids trained for in school.
So he's probably not going against a lot of competition.
(40:41):
Not too many people pick this sport out and try
to train for the sport. And I'm not going to
put him up there at John Force and Motorsports. He's
got sixteen world titles. I don't think he's going to
get there to to that kind of uh escalade. And
I also want to say that you know, uh uh
(41:02):
you know about you know, I'm I'm I'm locking up.
You guys have a great day. Hey, Joey Chestnut never
locks up. Appreciate that you made a great point. Though.
Think about it, There's so many people worldwide growing up
kicking a soccer ball or playing baseball. It's a childhood
(41:23):
dream and people practice everywhere. Some people have weird dreams.
Some people have weird dream This is a smaller sample
size of competitiveness. So you're saying, if more people put
their mind to it, you could be a Joey Chestnut too. Possibly. Well,
we got a bunch of gets to your feedback your
phone calls, hang tight. Uh more Covin and rich In
(41:43):
for Dan Patrick next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
