the fourth biggest sports let down of all time. What
a terrible decision. We've been rocking out. We talked about
that yesterday with Caitlyn Clark not on Team USA.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Worst decision in sports history. Move over, hold my beer.
Joey Chesnutt not in the hot dog getting contest.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, seriously, first, Kitlyn not on the Olympic team. Now
this what's tomorrow gonna bring? I mean, like my mom says,
this world's going to hell in a handbasket? I am
outrating am Also, you know I thought of another mom saying, yeah,
she walks around like she's the Queen of Sheba. A great.
Why did mom say that? Moms always say stuff like that.
We were talking about that before. Hey we're Cavino and Rich.
(01:38):
Were you born in a barn? Yeah? What do you want?
Quay ludes is Fox Sports Radio. Have you ever seen

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Let's make it a series tonight. We'll get to all that. Uh,
don't you worry. I do have one quick parent story
if you're cool with that. Okay, you did bring up parents,
and you also said quain ludes. Well, I'm just thinking
things parents say. You know, parents love to say when
talking about race. They love to say, yeah, black white,
I don't care if they're purple.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
For some reason, they love to say if they don't care,
if someone purple is the one that totally clears you
every time, like Barney or Grimace, I don't know, spot.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And they also love to call apparently it's a sign
you're older if you call weed marijuana pot.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Parents love talking about the pot. But yeah, this world's
going to hell and a handbasket because no Joey Chestnut. Yeah,
in the famous hot dog eating contest. That's like hand
without the burger. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I said, I wanted to tell a quick parental story
and then we'll get the joe Chestnut because I'm still
trying to still trying to mentally accept the fact that
the fourth of July will never be the same sixteen
time winner. He hasn't lost since twenty sixteen. This is
this is big news.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Honestly, you should have heard my reaction when I saw
the news.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I was like, no, no, no, you wouldn't can't be.
So I was a high school senior, you know, like
occasionally your parents would use your car or you would
use theirs.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Because I don't know, your car was probably their car. Anyway,
my mom took my car and in the glove box,
a little glove compartment. When I would go to I
don't know, a bar, club or anything. I was probably
in freshman in college. Now we're looking back.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Club.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Were you going to teen night? Yeah? I was probably eighteen.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I remember when I would go out with my friends,
I would always take some altoids with me. But you
didn't want to carry around that tin. How inconvenient, you know,
to carry on a whole tin of altoids. So I
would put bad packaging, I know, right, so when you
got sucretes in your pocket, so I would take maybe
(04:29):
you know, two or three altoids. I put them in
a little you know, sandwich bag. Put them in my pocket.
So in case you know, I met a girl want
some good breath, I had an altoid on standby.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So my mom, why not banaka? Little? I always say,
doesn't even know what banaka is? You don't, Yeah, well,
let me get you some. I mean I've seen and
Danny g is here, super producer Dan byer so from
dan Viron out of that one. No, I don't think
(05:00):
you do, Ia Sam. I'm just kidding. But let's get
this clear. So your kid altoids were the thing, of course,
but instead of carrying the tin, you put them in
a little ziplock bag.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, a little sandwich baggers on like drugs. Okay, So
my mom bars my car, she must go in my
glove box for some reason.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
She's like, oh my god, Richie's on some type of drugs.
I ruined it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Typical, Ia Sam. No, so I saw this story was going.
My mom goes to the pharmacy. She brings my little
zip block bag of altoids to the to the pharmacist.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's like, ma'am, I need your help. I think my
son's on drugs.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
And she hands the pharmacist a little baggy of my altoids.
My mom's sitting there nervously like, oh what is he taking? Like, ma'am,
I'm happy to tell you these are breath mints. And
my mom didn't tell me that story for like ten years.
I'm like, you serious, what a whack job? But you
(06:03):
talk about moms and kiludes and drugs that she probably
thought you had altoids. She probably thought it was a
bad thing. He said, you had altoids. Oh my god,
is that the new street drug?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Are you okay? So, breath Minton, breath mints, stay fresh,
and let's get into it. Taking it back on a
Taco Tuesday. Fun stories about our parents. Now a terrible
story about why this role is going to hell in
a hand basket, helen a handbag.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So, Joey Chestnut sixteen times hot dog eating Champion, fourth
and July, can.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
We just say how impressive that has really is? And
can I make this clear too? We always jokingly say
it's the fourth major sport, right. I am not a
fan of this. I am not, but I can't acknowledge
it's not the hot dog eating contest without Joey Chestnut.
So he has this competition between a rock and a
hard place, because if they carry on and go on
(06:59):
with the tradition, the general public knows. We Americans know
that it's not a contest without the best guy there.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Dude, this is very much like the NBA. I'm surprised
no one else has made this analogy. What's going on
in the world of hot dog eating right now is
identical to the NBA. Explain, all the big stars are
out giving someone their first real opportunity. Is Luca gonna win?
(07:29):
Is it gonna be the year for Brown and Tatum?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Because the Dawson, Mavericks and the Celtics still have a
fan base. Who cares about crazy legs? Kanti, whoever's behind
Joey chestnutt.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I'm just saying Toby Kobyashi said he's done with the
competitive eating because he's said he's dying from the inside
Joey Chestnuts out. And the reason, by the way, you know,
I hate to say it, but it's sort of his doing.
He has partnered up with Impossible. They make the vegan
vegetarian alternatives to meet so he's, uh, well, he basically
(08:02):
launched Frankfurter. Yeah, he's pimping vegan hot dogs and Nathan's
is like yo brother, can we come up with some
type of arrangement. And it seems like Joey Chestnut's the
one that's a little hesitant.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Now keep in on.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
They gave Joey chestnutt two hundred grand to participate last year,
and they offered him a four year, one point two
million dollar deal.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Now you might think that's nothing. You might think that's
way too much.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's three hundred thousand dollars a year to participate in
a one day of hot dog eating at Coney Island.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You know, I could argue that I think he's worth
more than that. That's why when if you would to
tell the average person, I mean, it makes me sick
to say that, but he's well known for doing this.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
I could back that up right now. Can you guys
name who came in second place last year?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
King Hippo, I don't know. Some dude now, the revolting blob.
Some dude named Jeffrey esper Hey never heard him.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
No, Jeffy asper is back at his regular job today saying,
oh man, this might be my chance. Who Joey Chestnut
three hundred thousand dollars for one day of work? You
could say he's valued more like remember, mister beast, the
social media internet phenomenon.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You mean the number one subscribe to YouTube guy.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Someone said, mister Beasts, could I find your company for
a billion dollars? And he said, no, it's worth way
more than that, because you would say.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Get out of here. A billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
No, when when you add up everything he makes and
incomes and so Joey chestnutt you could argue, is three
hundred thousand dollars a lot when he is the face
of this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Really, No, it's an American holiday. People tune in, we
make a big spectacle out of it. And that's why
he has them by the cohones. He has them by
the Frank Furter.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
They're saying it's not a done deal yet because they
can still negotiate for the next month, let's say. But
you know, much like the NFL, Remember when in a
few years we said farewell to Tom Brady, Peyton Manning,
Drew Brees and you're like, oh, this, we're gonna usher
in a whole new world of quarter in the NFL,
Joey Chesnut and Kobeyashi are the only two names you knew.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
This fall's majorly flat without this dude. And again, this
is coming from a guy who couldn't give a terrible
terry funk about this. I think it's gluttony us worst.
You know. I think it paints Americans in a terrible light.
I think it's. Yeah, it's gross. But it's like the
heavyweight division when Tyson wasn't there, it got boring, it
(10:25):
got lame, No one cared.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's like when Holyfield and Lennox Lewis were done. It's like,
all right, Clitch goes ruin this for the next decade.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
For me, it's the Olympic team without Kaitlin Clark. I
don't care. I mean, I didn't like it anyway, but
I really don't care if Joey Chestnut's not involved. I'm like,
who's the guy, uh Esper last night? He's the only
guy stoked about now, who's excited his mom? Esper's Mom's like,
here's your chance. What's his first name, Jeffrey, Jeffrey. Here's
your opportunity, young man.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
And don't forget two. Remember he choked out the protester
in the middle of the competition, didn't miss a beat.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, I was. So He's a hero to a lot
of people, not to me. But I do acknowledge that
you know a lot of people. And I'll say this respectfully.
We've met him a few times. He's a cool dude.
He's a nice guy. I'm just not into the gluttony
and the just the horror that I witness at this event.
Do you want to hear a who? Do you want
to hear a who's who?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Of awesome? Probably about ten years ago, I was hosting
the Mishooters International Swimsuit Pageant and two of the judges
were Steve Covino and Joey Chestnut. So while Covino always
bust this guy's way most actually I know, we were
(11:39):
actually at like an after party and we were just
hanging having a drink with Joey Chestnut, and I so
badly wanted to be like Covino ridicules.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You, But I heard girlfriend that night. So let's just say, uh,
Joey Chestnut's very important. I beat Joey Chestnut. So the
point is this is just a very.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Significant yet insignificant moment in the world of entertainment and sports,
if you think of it as a sport competitive eating.
The fourth of July, Nathan's is the super Bowl of
that world, and Joey Chestnut is the Tom Brady. So
you're pretty much saying, look up, how many Nathans there
are out there? How many what kind of fries today?
Serve those crinkle wrinkle crinkle crinkle fries? Right, crinkle cut,
(12:22):
crinkle cut? How many Nathan's are out there? And Joey
Chess was probably doing the mass saying, you know what,
you guys need me it's nothing at this point. I
know it's been going on long before Joey Chestnut and
it'll go on.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Without him, but it's not the same. I promise you,
no one's gonna care because everybody knows he's around and
he's out there and he's better than all these other guys. Again,
last year, to make it clear, he gobbled a world record. No,
actually he won, he won with he was yeah, yeah,
he won with sixty two last year. But he holds
(12:55):
the record for seventy six dogs and buns in twenty
twenty one. Have you had that many buns in the
early two thousands? Definitely, let's take.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
A listen to what could possibly be the last ever
Joey Chestnut victory.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Last year, The once and future King, the boy King,
who has grown to fulfill a destiny of greatness.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Look on his works, ye mighty, and despair, for he
has surpassed the kings.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Of Egypt with sixty two hot dogs and buns in
ten minutes for his sixteenth win. I give you the
number one ranked eater in the world, Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's so ridiculous, it is, but again, it's a part
of the tradition for his goofy as it is, and
without him, it's like milk with no cereal. It just
isn't the same. So what are you gonna do? As
they're saying in the news, this hot dog news, in
the hot dog community, it's hard to swallow. So it
(14:03):
is what it is. First, Caitlyn Clark, Now, this what
a week, guys, Hell in a hand basket? Man, what
a week? Can you think of anything else? That's just
not the same without that guy? I mean, you feel
so empty without Eminem. We know that. Jets camp without Rogers. Yeah,
that's our summer of discontent. Yes, Jets camp without Aaron Rodgers.
(14:25):
We're gonna get to that. But hey, where's the cornerback?
It's mandatory, this is a mandatory practice. Where's he at?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
This is Uh, it's like it's like a Police Academy movie.
When Mahoney left, it's not.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The same Police cut me five, assignment, my beach.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's like, yeah, it's like the Office, No Gutenberg, the
Office Patrol. Ye when when Michael Scott left is the
was the office the same?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Come on a bout that one off?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Please?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
No. I wonder if the general public, I'm calling you
Fox Sports Radio the general public, if you ever watch
a series, whatever series you're into on TV and the
main characters just aren't on that episode. That was the
network's way of saving money. That's really all it was.
Did you see that Costanza club?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
No? What?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh? I thought that's what you read it is it's
like Seinfeld without Seinfeld, Like what it doesn't even make
sense if they're just trying to save money in that episode.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm surprised Spot doesn't know this, being that he is
the Seinfeld expert. In one of the early seasons one
or two, there was an episode where George wasn't in
it at all. And keep in mind, Jason Alexander's made
tens of millions of dollars off of Seinfeld now, you know,
looking back, but at the time this was still a
new show, and he had the wavos to go up
(15:40):
to Larry David and say, Yo, if I'm not on
every episode, write off or kill my character, because I'm
not down for this. When you need me, I'm a
character on the show, so figure it out. And from
that point on, Larry David's like, okay, okay, and they
worked out. Joey Chestnut is the star of this show,
so you gotta pay him, give him that friend's money.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
He is your Chandler, he is your main character. He's
your Walter White.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
The last time this happened that Dannergy was Remember like
Game of Thrones, where every so often to be an
episode where you didn't see half the cast, like the
whole episode was about John Style cupany.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
You're waiting, and you're waiting, where's Kali? And by the way,
the first comment underneath a lot of these breaking news
stories about Chesna Today's is Kobeyashi gonna come out of retirement?
He needs to come out. No, it was health related,
so probably not. And by the way, that would be
so weak. Oh, now he comes out and wins, Like
did you really win? What did uh Rick Flair say?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
To be the man? You gotta beat the man who
thank you, rich, Did you really win if you didn't
beat the best? I'm not down with that. Everybody knows
he's out there, so he's in a great position, and
you know what he's thinking. Back to wrestlers, What did
Teddy Biassi say? Everybody's got price, Ma, you know what
(17:01):
he's taking. Nathan's is gonna pay.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
You know what I showed my wife the other day,
I'm tying it all together sports. And by the way,
if I said the NBA tonight, my bad, I meant
tomorrow night. I'm just anxious for Game three. I want
Luca to make this a series. I showed my wife
a clipp the other day that she's a little too
young to have remembered. But Danny, I bet you remember.
I was Sam maybe a little too young. Try me
when the million dollar man brought up some cute little
(17:24):
kid and said, if you dribble this basketball ten times,
I'll give you a stack one hundred dollars bills.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I do remember that. And then the last.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Dribble, the million number kicks the ball away and he's like, sorry, kid,
you'll learn the tough lesson, MA. And but my wife's like,
that's the meanest thing I've ever seen when we were kids.
That was that was one of his coolest moments. A
million dollar man showed what a villainy was.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
You know, is he using this as bargaining power? Like
he has a deal with this vegan hotel company, so
he's like, Yo, this is my value. So Nathan's, you
better pay if you want me to be involved still
to give this competition some credibility. I'm the guy. I'm
the champ when you're the man. And in his goofy
ass world, he is the man. Okay, you know you
get to call those shots. And negotiating power is what
(18:08):
you're looking for. You always looking for that angle. And
I thought about that too after our conversation about Dan
Hurley yesterday too. I was like, maybe he just took
that Lakers meeting just for like negotiating reasons, just to
say that he had that opportunity, just to say that
he could, just to raise his value up even more.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I know this company though there's still mob Pop company
on the East Coast. They're not rolling in money. They
do like a pistachio and a couple other eating contests,
but really Nathan's is like they're big sponsor in their
one big event of the year. So I don't think
they have those funds to match an offer like he got.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, Nathan's. When you think about it, every company Nathan's
is a big company. If you've ever dying for a
food documentary, to watch, The food that built America is fascinating.
There's an episode on Nathan's how the hot dog was
like the dirtiest food that no one wanted, and the
evolution of Nathan and how the hot dog became a
(19:03):
popular thing is fascinating in Brooklyn. But their annual budget,
you would imagine, marketing wise, most of it goes to
the fourth of July. You're not seeing like, you're not
seeing hot dog, adds randomly. I bet you they put
eighty five percent of their annual marketing budget into one
big event that they are branded with, and Joey Chess
not such a big.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Part of it. Nathan's fame, I'm sorry, Nathan's not so
famous anymore because Joey Chestnut's not involved. Well, here's what
they're saying. Covino mL by the way, Major League Eating.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Major League Eating said, we are devastated to learn that
Joey Chessnunt has chosen to represent a rival brand that
sells plant based hot dogs rather than competing in the
twenty twenty four famous Nathan's July hot Dog eating contest
Major League Eating and Nathan's went on to say they
went they went to great lengths in recent months to
(19:53):
accommodate Joey and his management team, agreeing to an appearance
fee and allowing Joey to actually compete in the vegan
hot dog contest on Labor Day. But they're still not
see an eye to eye on the fourth of July.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
So they just wanted a shout out, they said, But
I guess I couldn't be negotiated.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah, we started this conversation by saying it seems like
Joey Chestnut is in the wrong or he's the one
that's sort of the catalyst behind why he's banned. They
gave him some options, it's not working out. And let's see,
there have been there are two hundred and thirteen locations
worldwide as of twenty nineteen, trying to find an updated
(20:33):
stat A lot of food courts, Yeah, trying to find
it out because there Nathan's at MGM in Vegas. When
we go there.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Just think about it again. Everyone else could talk about
the NBA Finals tomorrow and hey, what's Luca gonna do?
We don't know, but you know we do now, Sir
Joey Chesnut. Yeah, you the fourth of July the star.
He's the only guy you identify.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know what. You could blame them for that. You
put too many eggs in his basket. You made him
out to be the guy. You created a monster with
this guy. Now you know he's playing it against you
a little bit, it seems. And really the Nathan's famous
hot dog getting contest made him who he was. Me.
I mean, they made each other, or they put each
other on the map. I guess he made it bigger,
(21:13):
but still like he should show a little more loyalty
to them, I guess. But it's like we say in
Radio Rich, like we don't want to do the interview
with the band without the lead singer. Sorry, you know
he's the lead singer. Like, hey we got the tambourine player.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
No thanks, So I found a cove. Nathan's pays just
over one million dollars annually. Wow for that promotion Fourth
of July.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Covino and I have been offered bands without the lead singer.
I'm like, no, Hey, you guys want the Foo Fighters,
of course, bring them on, But without Dave Grohl.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm sorry, what did you say? Without Dave Grohl? Yeah,
without Dave Groll, you just don't care the same. Right, So,
without Joey Chestnut, you just don't care the same. I
didn't care. Let me make it clear to begin with
at all. But I have to acknowledge that he was
the guy. So let me let me pose a question.
I do think it's funny, though, let me pose a question.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And when I pose, I'm gonna pose, like ravishing Rick
Ruds the title together away. We're having fun with this,
obviously being a little facetious with it, but it is
like the biggest story right now. I mean, honestly, I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna have a sorry, you know,
tired ask conversation about the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Right now one foot long. So let me ask you.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
This question based on the hot stories of the week. Yes,
what's a bigger ball drop or hot dog drop?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is the bigger? Is the bigger fail? Leaving Caitlin Clark
off of Team USA or leaving Joey chestnutt out of
the hot dog getting contest. What is more detrimental to
the brand that they represent? You know, as goofy as
that is. That's a pretty solid question. I'm not gonna lie.
We would have laughed hysterically at this question a year ago.
(22:56):
I know you're so right, But think about it. What
is the contest without the champion? It's got to be Chestnut, right,
He is that contest even though it's existing in this
long running it's it's part of American history. Unfortunately, the
WNBA also, though in my opinion, needs Caitlin Clark to
(23:18):
get that attention is so desperately needed. It's a great question.
So it's it's a it's a great question. I mean,
if you want to, I.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Could talk about Kelsey playing until the wheels fall off,
or how Taylor Swift makes a hell of a dessert.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
But oh maybe Taylor Swift's a dessert contest. Now, Chestnut

to get to, and that's why we have a brand
new podcast called Over Promised. You see, we're having so
much fun in our two hour show. We never get
to everything, honestly, because this guy is over promising things
(25:25):
we never have time for. Yeah, you blubber lit name

Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Cavino,
(26:15):
that is Rich and as your kids would say, he's
got that skibby Ohio Riz Rich. He's just straight dog water.
Speaking of Joey Chestnuts in the news dog water, hot
dog flavored water, Joey Chestnut not in the Nathan's Hot
(26:36):
Dog Eating Contest. Please make it Nobi true.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Hold on, if you're going to talk about kids lingo
and being the skibbitty rizzler and all the dumb things
kids say. I can never get with anyone that calls
hot dogs glizzies.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
You're hot dogs stopping why gzzies are where? It's lizzies glizzies. Bro,
I had a glizzy in my mouth. I bet you did.
By the way, Rob Parker let me tell you something.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
One of the kindest guys we ever worked with, the
Odd Couple, Rob Parker and Chris Brussard.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I'm a big fan Rob Parker had a hang at
his place. Last year.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
He received an amazing award I believe, inducted into the
is it the Black Journalist Hall of Fame? Was that
what he because he's always getting some award because he's
doing big things.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, we went to his house and he specifically is like,
you guys are East Coast guys.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I got the special East Coast hotdogs and he got
the East Coast hot dog stand with the onions and
the mustard, and he was so proud to give him
to us.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
And I read on you, I read on I appreciate it,
every second of it. He's one of those really thoughtful,
good dudes.
Speaker 5 (27:43):
He bonded with you because his new Detroit radio station,
All Black Lineup, Rich is the only white guest that's
going to be on the station Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Alright, shout out to the odd couple, big fans. We're
Cavino and Rich on Fox Sports Radio along with Danny G.
But Danny g smoothest voice in Radio Iowa, Samuel on
the ones and two, Dan Byer's got your update spots
on the videos at Covino Rich if you're playing along
at home. But it is a true story. Today it's
a week of letdowns. No Caitlin Clark at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Did you see the answer by the way from the
woman that runs the US Olympic Basketball Committee? What you
expected like a dumb ass answer of it's another popularity.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Contest And it's like, duh, my goodness. Yeah, but it's
a business thing you're trying to grow, right, she would
have a job in a year, and yeah, marketing is
a major part of everything, so to discredit that is foolish.
And today again it's like, well, what's the Nathan's Hotel
getting contest without Joey Chestnut because he signed a deal
(28:44):
with a vegan hot dog company and they were gonna
let him do it, but he's not playing by their
wishes and looks like he's banned. They're saying, band over
the beef. So before we get into Iron Mike Trivia
and game warn memorabilia and Aaron Rodgers will take some
phone calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox and
(29:07):
are there other examples of like it's just not the
same without that guy, give me a break, not the
same show, Rod in Virginia, it's up, man, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Fellers? You Rich? Danny g the g stanswer, goat what's
going on? Y'all?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Look at that?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
So let me tell y'all, right, like a young black
man growing up in America loving basketball with a show
that you had to watch if you're going to talk
to any young woman your age. So I've been on
the WNBA for a very long time, right, Okay, it's
a Leslie sales tools like if not just Diana Trossi,
Cameron Brink or Kaitlin Clark, So to louse Joey chestnutt man. Look,
(29:44):
I only watched because of Joey Chestnut. Like he's literally
the only reason. Even though I gagged watching him sit
there choked downright water logged buns and you know what
I mean, Like, it still was compelling TV. So I
would never watch the Hot Dog Eting contest if he's
not in it. I'm be honest.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know what they do tie in together though, That's
why Caitlin Clark is so important to it, because people
like familiarity. People want to feel invested, like they know somebody,
like they're rooting for them. And even though there's big
stars and better players in the WNBA, the truth is
the general public just doesn't know them, doesn't identify with them,
isn't invested in them. That's why shows like twenty four
(30:22):
to seven were so great, because there are two fighters
you might not have known, but you got to know them,
and then you were invested in the fight. When you
take Joey Chestnin out of it and you give me
a bunch of people I never heard of, like Crazy Legs,
Jeffrey Epson or whatever his name is, who is that?
Who cares? Jeffrey Epstein, Jeffrey Espin, Epsin, Esper, Esper, Esper.
I can't read my on handwriting. He is the second
(30:45):
place guy from last year. There's no Kobe Yashi. Guy's
got a bet name.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
You're You're one thousand percent right on that. I have
helped Ben Maller book Chestnut for the past few summers
as a guest on the Fifth Hour podcast, and he
was on the calendar. Joey Chestnut was to interview with
Ben again for the July fourth promotion. They're offering instead
for me to book all the runner ups, any of them.
(31:09):
I can choose to instead interview with Ben. I don't
even have to text Ben to let him know about this.
What do you think Mallard's gonna say, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I's go interview my uncle Al because nobody knows them,
you know what I mean, Like, nobody knows those people,
and that doesn't mean they're good. That's the problem with
this whole WNBA thing too. It's like nobody's saying it.
They're not good and they're not worthy. Nobody knows them.
And when I say nobody, I mean the general public,
most people. And that's why it's a stupid move. That's
why nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It's the family feud theory, which is if you asked
one hundred people, a random hundred people.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
So it's not a popularity of contest, but that's just
how life is. Name you're mad at life, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Name a.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Hot dog eater. One hundred people would say.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Of the one hundred, maybe five would say Kobayashi, ninety
five would say Joey Chestnutt. And I think the same
goes with women's basketball. In fact, I think, just based
on the youth and the drama and the fun we've seen.
I don't think it should end to Kitlyn Clark for
the record, I think you should also have Angel Reese,
Cameron Brank, a couple of these young women on that team.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Why we love?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Why we carrying forty some of year old women on
this team that have already won multiple Olympics, Like, you
have an opportunity here for growth? What are you doing
and to get the general public excited about it so
that we're familiar with these people, the growth of the sport,
the greater good of it. Again, it is so shortsighted
to think now you got to think about the future
of the sport. And Nathan's is caught in that same position,
(32:38):
and mle is caught in that same.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Position with Joey's. Just as stupid as that sounds, it's
the truth and that's the breaking story today.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
The person that's favored to win, I'm not even joking,
should come out with some ridiculous gimmick. They have an
opportunity to be noticed.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
No, that's true.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Like let's say the new hot dog guy comes out
with like swimsuit models with a big cape on, like
a robe, like he's Rick flair comes out like the
new guy.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Can't just be like, hey, my name's my name is Jeff.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Yeah, but it's only going to be highlights that we
see later about that because none of us are going
to tune in live to watch it is Jeff.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
What if Joey Chestnut in a in like a big
fu live streams simultaneously him eating hot talks.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Oh, that's just crushing the competition on the stage.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
What if what if Elon Musk is like do it
on X and pays him, and also Joey chests is
like ready said and he just casually eats like one
more hot.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Destroying what built you. You know that's sad, and you
know that's business. Maybe he'll come split screen hosted, Maybe
he'll go villain. Maybe he'll come with a with a
black beard like Hollywood Hogan. Yeah, it's ridiculous as it is.
He's synonymous with this big events for us. Our holiday
starts with that stupid content. Can you show up and
compete in the mustache like, uh, yeah, you know I
(33:54):
heard val I heard pucks of Tonny phil is following
the lead. He wants more money. Yeah, he's new ground
on next year.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
It's gonna be a punksa tany beef. Jef say with
Jeff Damn Bayer, what is going on, my friend?
Speaker 8 (34:11):
You know, the TMZ is saying there's still hope that
he could compete.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh, praise the Lord. As you guys said, there's still hope.
Speaker 8 (34:18):
So fingers crossed at it would have to take you know,
as you guys talked about Chessnut would have to.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Not go through with the sponsors.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Please everyone waste your prayers on that.
Speaker 8 (34:30):
In the world of golf, John Ram's withdrawn from the
US Open will not tee it up because of an

Sucking on a chili dog outside the Tasty Freeze, that's
where I met Rich. Actually a lot of people don't
know that. I was like, what are you doing now?
(37:29):
When you solve sucking on that hot dog, and then
you knew it was a matchmate in Evan. He was like, oh, hi,
I don't know anyone was watching me. Got the good ones.
That's Cavino and then you locked eyes while he finished
it at the comedy store tonight. Now I got actual
insight from an Expertly, you have no insight from anyone
for real they call me Scoops Callahan. I reached out
(37:52):
to a competitive eater, Greg from Mercer, Pennsylvania. He says, Look,
I know this is eating nerd talk, but here you go.
Oh Jeffrey Esper, who came in second last year, is legit,
but still nowhere near Joey Jaws. Oh, he's got absolutely
no flare. Honestly, the best eater might be Molly Skuyler.
(38:15):
She could seriously beat all the men. Other flashy people
are Nicky Wherry, that jacked up musclebound dude, James Webb
from Australia, or maybe Adam Beard meets Food who was
huge on YouTube had a huge U two following. But
they really don't have the same charm as Joey Chestnut,
who's banned from this year's Hot Dog Eating contest as
(38:37):
of now. So stay tuned for Dan Byer because he
has all the updates on that, his lead story of
the day. He's your leading source in hot dog eating.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
News, in Grizzie news. Yes, all right, you know there's
other stuff to get to obviously.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
One of those things is someone buying Tom Brady's game
worn pants the last game he played and for the
Tampa Bay Bucks for eighty nine thousand dollars, And I
always wonder, how do we decide what people pay for this?
I know it's an auction, but like someone's like maybe
forty thousand, fifty thousand. Then it got to eighty nine,
and they're like, and sold to that moron who bought
(39:13):
another man's dirty.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Laundry for eighty nine thousand dollars. They're the last pants
Giselle ironed, by the way.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yep, the last one she ironed his final game with
the Buccaneers. Brady's pants eighty nine thousand dollars. So the
question is did we invest in the wrong things as kids,
And the answer is yes, because we wanted autographs. We
wanted plaques and autographed frames and stupid things like that
baseball cards. It's another grown man's used item. In a
(39:44):
related adjacent story, rich Jordan's final game, Right, was it
Jordan's final game nineteen eighty five? Oh, I'm sorry, No,
it's Brady's final game. Sorry, Jordan's first season, first season,
Jordan's have hit the auction block. So it's a matter
of like, yeah, what are you gonna do with those?
Because if you don't mount them properly, they're just some
(40:05):
dude sneakers and some dude's pants. And then I got
to ask you, how much do you charge to sniff them?
Because you know some weirdo's gonna do that. That's just
a given. That's well, that's my first question. And not
to be like sound like a thirteen year old. I
don't want to sound like we're beams and butt head
on the radio. How do you make your eighty nine
thousand back? But I kind of ten bucks. I I'm
(40:26):
gonna sniff the backseat of Brady's pants. You'd debay it.
I do it for free.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
But you gotta ask yourself when they say here's Tom
Brady's Game one pants.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
If I do a light workout at the gym, you
sniff the front of the back by the way, whoa
if is it more for one side of the other.
If I go to the gym for a light workout,
I wouldn't want anyone sniff of my gym shorts. Tom
Brady played in an NFL game.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Do they deodorize them before they give it to the
recipient or as part of it?
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Like let me call that would undo it being game war?
But this braid? Do you want Brady's huavos. I see
his stats for that game. How many passing versus rushing yards?
Look that up.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
When you find a rare coin metal detecting, you don't
polish it, You like, let it be you, so you don't.
You don't wash the pants, you don't de stickify it.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
It was it was it a hot Tampa day? Or
is it a dome? What was the It would have
been the end. It would have been playoffs, right or no? Yeah, yeah,
it would have been playoffs. So we've been like November, December, January, January.
Let me call my contact, let me give you a calendar.
Here you go, the Golden of King of collectibles. To
find out how this is done.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
He attempted sixty six passes, the most in his playoff career.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Oh man, that's a lot of effort. It's a lot
of dropbacks, chafing. Are you impressed by that? It's probably
in the front of Oh no, no, no, It's got
to be a generational thing though, generational bragging, right, because
I'm thinking, like, yeah, what would he do? I would
never want them, but it would be cool though.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
If you told me back in the two thousands, if
you had in a case displayed like Shack's big ass shoe,
a laker, like a golden with a little purple trim.
Like you tell me you wouldn't want a Kobe like
Michael Jordan that he wore in a case. I just
think a man's pants is like, that's an odd thing. Man,
that's a you know that guy?
Speaker 1 (42:20):
The guys would would you put at least on stuff?
Brady was sacked twice in that game. Okay, I want
those Scottish Chandler ripped pants from that cop. I want
those those eighty dollars slacks that he was wearing. Do
you try them on? Oh that's a good one too.
Do you with heels that? Yeah? Do you wire him
into the bedroom? Honey? Oscar deal, Hoya got a bid
(42:43):
on this?
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yo?
Speaker 1 (42:44):
What would you do with those? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (42:48):
That would be a weird thing. I'm such a super fan, Honey,
put them on. Tom's all right? More Caviino Rich nonsense

the fourth biggest sports let down of all time. What
a terrible decision. We've been rocking out. We talked about
that yesterday with Caitlyn Clark not on Team USA.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
Worst decision in sports history. Move over, hold my beer.
Joey Chesnutt not in the hot dog getting contest.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, seriously, first, Kitlyn not on the Olympic team. Now
this what's tomorrow gonna bring? I mean, like my mom says,
this world's going to hell in a handbasket? I am
outrating am Also, you know I thought of another mom saying, yeah,
she walks around like she's the Queen of Sheba. A great.
Why did mom say that? Moms always say stuff like that.
We were talking about that before. Hey we're Cavino and Rich.
(01:38):
Were you born in a barn? Yeah? What do you want?
Quay ludes is Fox Sports Radio. Have you ever seen

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Let's make it a series tonight. We'll get to all that. Uh,
don't you worry. I do have one quick parent story
if you're cool with that. Okay, you did bring up parents,
and you also said quain ludes. Well, I'm just thinking
things parents say. You know, parents love to say when
talking about race. They love to say, yeah, black white,
I don't care if they're purple.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
For some reason, they love to say if they don't care,
if someone purple is the one that totally clears you
every time, like Barney or Grimace, I don't know, spot.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And they also love to call apparently it's a sign
you're older if you call weed marijuana pot.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Parents love talking about the pot. But yeah, this world's
going to hell and a handbasket because no Joey Chestnut. Yeah,
in the famous hot dog eating contest. That's like hand
without the burger. It doesn't make sense.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
I said, I wanted to tell a quick parental story
and then we'll get the joe Chestnut because I'm still
trying to still trying to mentally accept the fact that
the fourth of July will never be the same sixteen
time winner. He hasn't lost since twenty sixteen. This is
this is big news.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Honestly, you should have heard my reaction when I saw
the news.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
I was like, no, no, no, you wouldn't can't be.
So I was a high school senior, you know, like
occasionally your parents would use your car or you would
use theirs.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Because I don't know, your car was probably their car. Anyway,
my mom took my car and in the glove box,
a little glove compartment. When I would go to I
don't know, a bar, club or anything. I was probably
in freshman in college. Now we're looking back.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
Club.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Were you going to teen night? Yeah? I was probably eighteen.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
But I remember when I would go out with my friends,
I would always take some altoids with me. But you
didn't want to carry around that tin. How inconvenient, you know,
to carry on a whole tin of altoids. So I
would put bad packaging, I know, right, so when you
got sucretes in your pocket, so I would take maybe
(04:29):
you know, two or three altoids. I put them in
a little you know, sandwich bag. Put them in my pocket.
So in case you know, I met a girl want
some good breath, I had an altoid on standby.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
So my mom, why not banaka? Little? I always say,
doesn't even know what banaka is? You don't, Yeah, well,
let me get you some. I mean I've seen and
Danny g is here, super producer Dan byer so from
dan Viron out of that one. No, I don't think
(05:00):
you do, Ia Sam. I'm just kidding. But let's get
this clear. So your kid altoids were the thing, of course,
but instead of carrying the tin, you put them in
a little ziplock bag.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, a little sandwich baggers on like drugs. Okay, So
my mom bars my car, she must go in my
glove box for some reason.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
She's like, oh my god, Richie's on some type of drugs.
I ruined it.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Typical, Ia Sam. No, so I saw this story was going.
My mom goes to the pharmacy. She brings my little
zip block bag of altoids to the to the pharmacist.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
It's like, ma'am, I need your help. I think my
son's on drugs.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
And she hands the pharmacist a little baggy of my altoids.
My mom's sitting there nervously like, oh what is he taking? Like, ma'am,
I'm happy to tell you these are breath mints. And
my mom didn't tell me that story for like ten years.
I'm like, you serious, what a whack job? But you
(06:03):
talk about moms and kiludes and drugs that she probably
thought you had altoids. She probably thought it was a
bad thing. He said, you had altoids. Oh my god,
is that the new street drug?
Speaker 1 (06:11):
Are you okay? So, breath Minton, breath mints, stay fresh,
and let's get into it. Taking it back on a
Taco Tuesday. Fun stories about our parents. Now a terrible
story about why this role is going to hell in
a hand basket, helen a handbag.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
So, Joey Chestnut sixteen times hot dog eating Champion, fourth
and July, can.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
We just say how impressive that has really is? And
can I make this clear too? We always jokingly say
it's the fourth major sport, right. I am not a
fan of this. I am not, but I can't acknowledge
it's not the hot dog eating contest without Joey Chestnut.
So he has this competition between a rock and a
hard place, because if they carry on and go on
(06:59):
with the tradition, the general public knows. We Americans know
that it's not a contest without the best guy there.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Dude, this is very much like the NBA. I'm surprised
no one else has made this analogy. What's going on
in the world of hot dog eating right now is
identical to the NBA. Explain, all the big stars are
out giving someone their first real opportunity. Is Luca gonna win?
(07:29):
Is it gonna be the year for Brown and Tatum?
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Because the Dawson, Mavericks and the Celtics still have a
fan base. Who cares about crazy legs? Kanti, whoever's behind
Joey chestnutt.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
I'm just saying Toby Kobyashi said he's done with the
competitive eating because he's said he's dying from the inside
Joey Chestnuts out. And the reason, by the way, you know,
I hate to say it, but it's sort of his doing.
He has partnered up with Impossible. They make the vegan
vegetarian alternatives to meet so he's, uh, well, he basically
(08:02):
launched Frankfurter. Yeah, he's pimping vegan hot dogs and Nathan's
is like yo brother, can we come up with some
type of arrangement. And it seems like Joey Chestnut's the
one that's a little hesitant.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Now keep in on.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
They gave Joey chestnutt two hundred grand to participate last year,
and they offered him a four year, one point two
million dollar deal.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Now you might think that's nothing. You might think that's
way too much.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
That's three hundred thousand dollars a year to participate in
a one day of hot dog eating at Coney Island.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
You know, I could argue that I think he's worth
more than that. That's why when if you would to
tell the average person, I mean, it makes me sick
to say that, but he's well known for doing this.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
I could back that up right now. Can you guys
name who came in second place last year?
Speaker 1 (08:48):
King Hippo, I don't know. Some dude now, the revolting blob.
Some dude named Jeffrey esper Hey never heard him.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
No, Jeffy asper is back at his regular job today saying,
oh man, this might be my chance. Who Joey Chestnut
three hundred thousand dollars for one day of work? You
could say he's valued more like remember, mister beast, the
social media internet phenomenon.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
You mean the number one subscribe to YouTube guy.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Someone said, mister Beasts, could I find your company for
a billion dollars? And he said, no, it's worth way
more than that, because you would say.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Get out of here. A billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
No, when when you add up everything he makes and
incomes and so Joey chestnutt you could argue, is three
hundred thousand dollars a lot when he is the face
of this whole thing.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
Really, No, it's an American holiday. People tune in, we
make a big spectacle out of it. And that's why
he has them by the cohones. He has them by
the Frank Furter.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
They're saying it's not a done deal yet because they
can still negotiate for the next month, let's say. But
you know, much like the NFL, Remember when in a
few years we said farewell to Tom Brady, Peyton Manning,
Drew Brees and you're like, oh, this, we're gonna usher
in a whole new world of quarter in the NFL,
Joey Chesnut and Kobeyashi are the only two names you knew.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
This fall's majorly flat without this dude. And again, this
is coming from a guy who couldn't give a terrible
terry funk about this. I think it's gluttony us worst.
You know. I think it paints Americans in a terrible light.
I think it's. Yeah, it's gross. But it's like the
heavyweight division when Tyson wasn't there, it got boring, it
(10:25):
got lame, No one cared.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
It's like when Holyfield and Lennox Lewis were done. It's like,
all right, Clitch goes ruin this for the next decade.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
For me, it's the Olympic team without Kaitlin Clark. I
don't care. I mean, I didn't like it anyway, but
I really don't care if Joey Chestnut's not involved. I'm like,
who's the guy, uh Esper last night? He's the only
guy stoked about now, who's excited his mom? Esper's Mom's like,
here's your chance. What's his first name, Jeffrey, Jeffrey. Here's
your opportunity, young man.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
And don't forget two. Remember he choked out the protester
in the middle of the competition, didn't miss a beat.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Yeah, I was. So He's a hero to a lot
of people, not to me. But I do acknowledge that
you know a lot of people. And I'll say this respectfully.
We've met him a few times. He's a cool dude.
He's a nice guy. I'm just not into the gluttony
and the just the horror that I witness at this event.
Do you want to hear a who? Do you want
to hear a who's who?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
Of awesome? Probably about ten years ago, I was hosting
the Mishooters International Swimsuit Pageant and two of the judges
were Steve Covino and Joey Chestnut. So while Covino always
bust this guy's way most actually I know, we were
(11:39):
actually at like an after party and we were just
hanging having a drink with Joey Chestnut, and I so
badly wanted to be like Covino ridicules.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You, But I heard girlfriend that night. So let's just say, uh,
Joey Chestnut's very important. I beat Joey Chestnut. So the
point is this is just a very.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Significant yet insignificant moment in the world of entertainment and sports,
if you think of it as a sport competitive eating.
The fourth of July, Nathan's is the super Bowl of
that world, and Joey Chestnut is the Tom Brady. So
you're pretty much saying, look up, how many Nathans there
are out there? How many what kind of fries today?
Serve those crinkle wrinkle crinkle crinkle fries? Right, crinkle cut,
(12:22):
crinkle cut? How many Nathan's are out there? And Joey
Chess was probably doing the mass saying, you know what,
you guys need me it's nothing at this point. I
know it's been going on long before Joey Chestnut and
it'll go on.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Without him, but it's not the same. I promise you,
no one's gonna care because everybody knows he's around and
he's out there and he's better than all these other guys. Again,
last year, to make it clear, he gobbled a world record. No,
actually he won, he won with he was yeah, yeah,
he won with sixty two last year. But he holds
(12:55):
the record for seventy six dogs and buns in twenty
twenty one. Have you had that many buns in the
early two thousands? Definitely, let's take.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
A listen to what could possibly be the last ever
Joey Chestnut victory.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Last year, The once and future King, the boy King,
who has grown to fulfill a destiny of greatness.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Look on his works, ye mighty, and despair, for he
has surpassed the kings.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
Of Egypt with sixty two hot dogs and buns in
ten minutes for his sixteenth win. I give you the
number one ranked eater in the world, Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 1 (13:41):
It's so ridiculous, it is, but again, it's a part
of the tradition for his goofy as it is, and
without him, it's like milk with no cereal. It just
isn't the same. So what are you gonna do? As
they're saying in the news, this hot dog news, in
the hot dog community, it's hard to swallow. So it
(14:03):
is what it is. First, Caitlyn Clark, Now, this what
a week, guys, Hell in a hand basket? Man, what
a week? Can you think of anything else? That's just
not the same without that guy? I mean, you feel
so empty without Eminem. We know that. Jets camp without Rogers. Yeah,
that's our summer of discontent. Yes, Jets camp without Aaron Rodgers.
(14:25):
We're gonna get to that. But hey, where's the cornerback?
It's mandatory, this is a mandatory practice. Where's he at?
Speaker 2 (14:33):
This is Uh, it's like it's like a Police Academy movie.
When Mahoney left, it's not.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
The same Police cut me five, assignment, my beach.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
It's like, yeah, it's like the Office, No Gutenberg, the
Office Patrol. Ye when when Michael Scott left is the
was the office the same?
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Come on a bout that one off?
Speaker 4 (14:55):
Please?
Speaker 1 (14:55):
No. I wonder if the general public, I'm calling you
Fox Sports Radio the general public, if you ever watch
a series, whatever series you're into on TV and the
main characters just aren't on that episode. That was the
network's way of saving money. That's really all it was.
Did you see that Costanza club?
Speaker 4 (15:12):
No? What?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
Oh? I thought that's what you read it is it's
like Seinfeld without Seinfeld, Like what it doesn't even make
sense if they're just trying to save money in that episode.
Speaker 2 (15:20):
I'm surprised Spot doesn't know this, being that he is
the Seinfeld expert. In one of the early seasons one
or two, there was an episode where George wasn't in
it at all. And keep in mind, Jason Alexander's made
tens of millions of dollars off of Seinfeld now, you know,
looking back, but at the time this was still a
new show, and he had the wavos to go up
(15:40):
to Larry David and say, Yo, if I'm not on
every episode, write off or kill my character, because I'm
not down for this. When you need me, I'm a
character on the show, so figure it out. And from
that point on, Larry David's like, okay, okay, and they
worked out. Joey Chestnut is the star of this show,
so you gotta pay him, give him that friend's money.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
He is your Chandler, he is your main character. He's
your Walter White.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
The last time this happened that Dannergy was Remember like
Game of Thrones, where every so often to be an
episode where you didn't see half the cast, like the
whole episode was about John Style cupany.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
You're waiting, and you're waiting, where's Kali? And by the way,
the first comment underneath a lot of these breaking news
stories about Chesna Today's is Kobeyashi gonna come out of retirement?
He needs to come out. No, it was health related,
so probably not. And by the way, that would be
so weak. Oh, now he comes out and wins, Like
did you really win? What did uh Rick Flair say?
Speaker 1 (16:38):
To be the man? You gotta beat the man who
thank you, rich, Did you really win if you didn't
beat the best? I'm not down with that. Everybody knows
he's out there, so he's in a great position, and
you know what he's thinking. Back to wrestlers, What did
Teddy Biassi say? Everybody's got price, Ma, you know what
(17:01):
he's taking. Nathan's is gonna pay.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
You know what I showed my wife the other day,
I'm tying it all together sports. And by the way,
if I said the NBA tonight, my bad, I meant
tomorrow night. I'm just anxious for Game three. I want
Luca to make this a series. I showed my wife
a clipp the other day that she's a little too
young to have remembered. But Danny, I bet you remember.
I was Sam maybe a little too young. Try me
when the million dollar man brought up some cute little
(17:24):
kid and said, if you dribble this basketball ten times,
I'll give you a stack one hundred dollars bills.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
I do remember that. And then the last.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Dribble, the million number kicks the ball away and he's like, sorry, kid,
you'll learn the tough lesson, MA. And but my wife's like,
that's the meanest thing I've ever seen when we were kids.
That was that was one of his coolest moments. A
million dollar man showed what a villainy was.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
You know, is he using this as bargaining power? Like
he has a deal with this vegan hotel company, so
he's like, Yo, this is my value. So Nathan's, you
better pay if you want me to be involved still
to give this competition some credibility. I'm the guy. I'm
the champ when you're the man. And in his goofy
ass world, he is the man. Okay, you know you
get to call those shots. And negotiating power is what
(18:08):
you're looking for. You always looking for that angle. And
I thought about that too after our conversation about Dan
Hurley yesterday too. I was like, maybe he just took
that Lakers meeting just for like negotiating reasons, just to
say that he had that opportunity, just to say that
he could, just to raise his value up even more.
Speaker 5 (18:24):
I know this company though there's still mob Pop company
on the East Coast. They're not rolling in money. They
do like a pistachio and a couple other eating contests,
but really Nathan's is like they're big sponsor in their
one big event of the year. So I don't think
they have those funds to match an offer like he got.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Unfortunately.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Yeah, Nathan's. When you think about it, every company Nathan's
is a big company. If you've ever dying for a
food documentary, to watch, The food that built America is fascinating.
There's an episode on Nathan's how the hot dog was
like the dirtiest food that no one wanted, and the
evolution of Nathan and how the hot dog became a
(19:03):
popular thing is fascinating in Brooklyn. But their annual budget,
you would imagine, marketing wise, most of it goes to
the fourth of July. You're not seeing like, you're not
seeing hot dog, adds randomly. I bet you they put
eighty five percent of their annual marketing budget into one
big event that they are branded with, and Joey Chess
not such a big.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Part of it. Nathan's fame, I'm sorry, Nathan's not so
famous anymore because Joey Chestnut's not involved. Well, here's what
they're saying. Covino mL by the way, Major League Eating.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Major League Eating said, we are devastated to learn that
Joey Chessnunt has chosen to represent a rival brand that
sells plant based hot dogs rather than competing in the
twenty twenty four famous Nathan's July hot Dog eating contest
Major League Eating and Nathan's went on to say they
went they went to great lengths in recent months to
(19:53):
accommodate Joey and his management team, agreeing to an appearance
fee and allowing Joey to actually compete in the vegan
hot dog contest on Labor Day. But they're still not
see an eye to eye on the fourth of July.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
So they just wanted a shout out, they said, But
I guess I couldn't be negotiated.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Yeah, we started this conversation by saying it seems like
Joey Chestnut is in the wrong or he's the one
that's sort of the catalyst behind why he's banned. They
gave him some options, it's not working out. And let's see,
there have been there are two hundred and thirteen locations
worldwide as of twenty nineteen, trying to find an updated
(20:33):
stat A lot of food courts, Yeah, trying to find
it out because there Nathan's at MGM in Vegas. When
we go there.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
Just think about it again. Everyone else could talk about
the NBA Finals tomorrow and hey, what's Luca gonna do?
We don't know, but you know we do now, Sir
Joey Chesnut. Yeah, you the fourth of July the star.
He's the only guy you identify.
Speaker 1 (20:53):
You know what. You could blame them for that. You
put too many eggs in his basket. You made him
out to be the guy. You created a monster with
this guy. Now you know he's playing it against you
a little bit, it seems. And really the Nathan's famous
hot dog getting contest made him who he was. Me.
I mean, they made each other, or they put each
other on the map. I guess he made it bigger,
(21:13):
but still like he should show a little more loyalty
to them, I guess. But it's like we say in
Radio Rich, like we don't want to do the interview
with the band without the lead singer. Sorry, you know
he's the lead singer. Like, hey we got the tambourine player.
Speaker 5 (21:29):
No thanks, So I found a cove. Nathan's pays just
over one million dollars annually. Wow for that promotion Fourth
of July.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
That is true.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
Covino and I have been offered bands without the lead singer.
I'm like, no, Hey, you guys want the Foo Fighters,
of course, bring them on, But without Dave Grohl.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
I'm sorry, what did you say? Without Dave Grohl? Yeah,
without Dave Groll, you just don't care the same. Right, So,
without Joey Chestnut, you just don't care the same. I
didn't care. Let me make it clear to begin with
at all. But I have to acknowledge that he was
the guy. So let me let me pose a question.
I do think it's funny, though, let me pose a question.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And when I pose, I'm gonna pose, like ravishing Rick
Ruds the title together away. We're having fun with this,
obviously being a little facetious with it, but it is
like the biggest story right now. I mean, honestly, I'm
not gonna I'm not gonna have a sorry, you know,
tired ask conversation about the NBA Finals.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Right now one foot long. So let me ask you.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
This question based on the hot stories of the week. Yes,
what's a bigger ball drop or hot dog drop?
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is the bigger? Is the bigger fail? Leaving Caitlin Clark
off of Team USA or leaving Joey chestnutt out of
the hot dog getting contest. What is more detrimental to
the brand that they represent? You know, as goofy as
that is. That's a pretty solid question. I'm not gonna lie.
We would have laughed hysterically at this question a year ago.
(22:56):
I know you're so right, But think about it. What
is the contest without the champion? It's got to be Chestnut, right,
He is that contest even though it's existing in this
long running it's it's part of American history. Unfortunately, the
WNBA also, though in my opinion, needs Caitlin Clark to
(23:18):
get that attention is so desperately needed. It's a great question.
So it's it's a it's a great question. I mean,
if you want to, I.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Could talk about Kelsey playing until the wheels fall off,
or how Taylor Swift makes a hell of a dessert.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
But oh maybe Taylor Swift's a dessert contest. Now, Chestnut
or Caitlin Clark bigger, bigger dropping of the ball. What's
bigger for the brand? I guess yeah, your thoughts plus,
we are going to talk some NFL. We'll talk some
Aaron Rodgers, We're going to talk about Little Mike Tyson
trivia today and game worn memorabilia. A deep thought and
(23:55):
it has to do with another man's dirty laundry. We'll

One of the kindest guys we ever worked with, the
Odd Couple, Rob Parker and Chris Brussard.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I'm a big fan Rob Parker had a hang at
his place. Last year.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
He received an amazing award I believe, inducted into the
is it the Black Journalist Hall of Fame? Was that
what he because he's always getting some award because he's
doing big things.
Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
Yeah, we went to his house and he specifically is like,
you guys are East Coast guys.
Speaker 1 (27:28):
I got the special East Coast hotdogs and he got
the East Coast hot dog stand with the onions and
the mustard, and he was so proud to give him
to us.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
And I read on you, I read on I appreciate it,
every second of it. He's one of those really thoughtful,
good dudes.

at home. But it is a true story. Today it's
a week of letdowns. No Caitlin Clark at the Olympics.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Did you see the answer by the way from the
woman that runs the US Olympic Basketball Committee? What you
expected like a dumb ass answer of it's another popularity.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Contest And it's like, duh, my goodness. Yeah, but it's
a business thing you're trying to grow, right, she would
have a job in a year, and yeah, marketing is
a major part of everything, so to discredit that is foolish.
And today again it's like, well, what's the Nathan's Hotel
getting contest without Joey Chestnut because he signed a deal
(28:44):
with a vegan hot dog company and they were gonna
let him do it, but he's not playing by their
wishes and looks like he's banned. They're saying, band over
the beef. So before we get into Iron Mike Trivia
and game warn memorabilia and Aaron Rodgers will take some
phone calls eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox and
(29:07):
are there other examples of like it's just not the
same without that guy, give me a break, not the
same show, Rod in Virginia, it's up, man, what's going on?
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Fellers? You Rich? Danny g the g stanswer, goat what's
going on? Y'all?
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Look at that?
Speaker 3 (29:20):
So let me tell y'all, right, like a young black
man growing up in America loving basketball with a show
that you had to watch if you're going to talk
to any young woman your age. So I've been on
the WNBA for a very long time, right, Okay, it's
a Leslie sales tools like if not just Diana Trossi,
Cameron Brink or Kaitlin Clark, So to louse Joey chestnutt man. Look,
(29:44):
I only watched because of Joey Chestnut. Like he's literally
the only reason. Even though I gagged watching him sit
there choked downright water logged buns and you know what
I mean, Like, it still was compelling TV. So I
would never watch the Hot Dog Eting contest if he's
not in it. I'm be honest.
Speaker 1 (30:00):
You know what they do tie in together though, That's
why Caitlin Clark is so important to it, because people
like familiarity. People want to feel invested, like they know somebody,
like they're rooting for them. And even though there's big
stars and better players in the WNBA, the truth is
the general public just doesn't know them, doesn't identify with them,
isn't invested in them. That's why shows like twenty four
(30:22):
to seven were so great, because there are two fighters
you might not have known, but you got to know them,
and then you were invested in the fight. When you
take Joey Chestnin out of it and you give me
a bunch of people I never heard of, like Crazy Legs,
Jeffrey Epson or whatever his name is, who is that?
Who cares? Jeffrey Epstein, Jeffrey Espin, Epsin, Esper, Esper, Esper.
I can't read my on handwriting. He is the second
(30:45):
place guy from last year. There's no Kobe Yashi. Guy's
got a bet name.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
You're You're one thousand percent right on that. I have
helped Ben Maller book Chestnut for the past few summers
as a guest on the Fifth Hour podcast, and he
was on the calendar. Joey Chestnut was to interview with
Ben again for the July fourth promotion. They're offering instead
for me to book all the runner ups, any of them.
(31:09):
I can choose to instead interview with Ben. I don't
even have to text Ben to let him know about this.
What do you think Mallard's gonna say, no, no, thank you.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I's go interview my uncle Al because nobody knows them,
you know what I mean, Like, nobody knows those people,
and that doesn't mean they're good. That's the problem with
this whole WNBA thing too. It's like nobody's saying it.
They're not good and they're not worthy. Nobody knows them.
And when I say nobody, I mean the general public,
most people. And that's why it's a stupid move. That's
why nobody cares.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
It's the family feud theory, which is if you asked
one hundred people, a random hundred people.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
So it's not a popularity of contest, but that's just
how life is. Name you're mad at life, I'm sorry.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Name a.
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Hot dog eater. One hundred people would say.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Of the one hundred, maybe five would say Kobayashi, ninety
five would say Joey Chestnutt. And I think the same
goes with women's basketball. In fact, I think, just based
on the youth and the drama and the fun we've seen.
I don't think it should end to Kitlyn Clark for
the record, I think you should also have Angel Reese,
Cameron Brank, a couple of these young women on that team.
Speaker 1 (32:14):
Why we love?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
Why we carrying forty some of year old women on
this team that have already won multiple Olympics, Like, you
have an opportunity here for growth? What are you doing
and to get the general public excited about it so
that we're familiar with these people, the growth of the sport,
the greater good of it. Again, it is so shortsighted
to think now you got to think about the future
of the sport. And Nathan's is caught in that same position,
(32:38):
and mle is caught in that same.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Position with Joey's. Just as stupid as that sounds, it's
the truth and that's the breaking story today.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
The person that's favored to win, I'm not even joking,
should come out with some ridiculous gimmick. They have an
opportunity to be noticed.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
No, that's true.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Like let's say the new hot dog guy comes out
with like swimsuit models with a big cape on, like
a robe, like he's Rick flair comes out like the
new guy.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
Can't just be like, hey, my name's my name is Jeff.
Speaker 5 (33:05):
Yeah, but it's only going to be highlights that we
see later about that because none of us are going
to tune in live to watch it is Jeff.
Speaker 2 (33:11):
What if Joey Chestnut in a in like a big
fu live streams simultaneously him eating hot talks.
Speaker 7 (33:21):
Oh, that's just crushing the competition on the stage.
Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
What if what if Elon Musk is like do it
on X and pays him, and also Joey chests is
like ready said and he just casually eats like one
more hot.
Speaker 1 (33:33):
Destroying what built you. You know that's sad, and you
know that's business. Maybe he'll come split screen hosted, Maybe
he'll go villain. Maybe he'll come with a with a
black beard like Hollywood Hogan. Yeah, it's ridiculous as it is.
He's synonymous with this big events for us. Our holiday
starts with that stupid content. Can you show up and
compete in the mustache like, uh, yeah, you know I
(33:54):
heard val I heard pucks of Tonny phil is following
the lead. He wants more money. Yeah, he's new ground
on next year.
Speaker 2 (34:03):
It's gonna be a punksa tany beef. Jef say with
Jeff Damn Bayer, what is going on, my friend?
Speaker 8 (34:11):
You know, the TMZ is saying there's still hope that
he could compete.
Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh, praise the Lord. As you guys said, there's still hope.
Speaker 8 (34:18):
So fingers crossed at it would have to take you know,
as you guys talked about Chessnut would have to.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Not go through with the sponsors.
Speaker 2 (34:27):
Please everyone waste your prayers on that.
Speaker 8 (34:30):

Sucking on a chili dog outside the Tasty Freeze, that's
where I met Rich. Actually a lot of people don't
know that. I was like, what are you doing now?
(37:29):
When you solve sucking on that hot dog, and then
you knew it was a matchmate in Evan. He was like, oh, hi,
I don't know anyone was watching me. Got the good ones.
That's Cavino and then you locked eyes while he finished
it at the comedy store tonight. Now I got actual
insight from an Expertly, you have no insight from anyone
for real they call me Scoops Callahan. I reached out
(37:52):
to a competitive eater, Greg from Mercer, Pennsylvania. He says, Look,
I know this is eating nerd talk, but here you go.
Oh Jeffrey Esper, who came in second last year, is legit,
but still nowhere near Joey Jaws. Oh, he's got absolutely
no flare. Honestly, the best eater might be Molly Skuyler.
(38:15):
She could seriously beat all the men. Other flashy people
are Nicky Wherry, that jacked up musclebound dude, James Webb
from Australia, or maybe Adam Beard meets Food who was
huge on YouTube had a huge U two following. But
they really don't have the same charm as Joey Chestnut,
who's banned from this year's Hot Dog Eating contest as
(38:37):
of now. So stay tuned for Dan Byer because he
has all the updates on that, his lead story of
the day. He's your leading source in hot dog eating.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
News, in Grizzie news. Yes, all right, you know there's
other stuff to get to obviously.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
Now.
Speaker 2 (38:53):
One of those things is someone buying Tom Brady's game
worn pants the last game he played and for the
Tampa Bay Bucks for eighty nine thousand dollars, And I
always wonder, how do we decide what people pay for this?
I know it's an auction, but like someone's like maybe
forty thousand, fifty thousand. Then it got to eighty nine,
and they're like, and sold to that moron who bought
(39:13):
another man's dirty.
Speaker 5 (39:14):
Laundry for eighty nine thousand dollars. They're the last pants
Giselle ironed, by the way.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
Yep, the last one she ironed his final game with
the Buccaneers. Brady's pants eighty nine thousand dollars. So the
question is did we invest in the wrong things as kids,
And the answer is yes, because we wanted autographs. We
wanted plaques and autographed frames and stupid things like that
baseball cards. It's another grown man's used item. In a
(39:44):
related adjacent story, rich Jordan's final game, Right, was it
Jordan's final game nineteen eighty five? Oh, I'm sorry, No,
it's Brady's final game. Sorry, Jordan's first season, first season,
Jordan's have hit the auction block. So it's a matter
of like, yeah, what are you gonna do with those?
Because if you don't mount them properly, they're just some
(40:05):
dude sneakers and some dude's pants. And then I got
to ask you, how much do you charge to sniff them?
Because you know some weirdo's gonna do that. That's just
a given. That's well, that's my first question. And not
to be like sound like a thirteen year old. I
don't want to sound like we're beams and butt head
on the radio. How do you make your eighty nine
thousand back? But I kind of ten bucks. I I'm
(40:26):
gonna sniff the backseat of Brady's pants. You'd debay it.
I do it for free.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
But you gotta ask yourself when they say here's Tom
Brady's Game one pants.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
If I do a light workout at the gym, you
sniff the front of the back by the way, whoa
if is it more for one side of the other.
If I go to the gym for a light workout,
I wouldn't want anyone sniff of my gym shorts. Tom
Brady played in an NFL game.
Speaker 2 (40:56):
Do they deodorize them before they give it to the
recipient or as part of it?
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Like let me call that would undo it being game war?
But this braid? Do you want Brady's huavos. I see
his stats for that game. How many passing versus rushing yards?
Look that up.
Speaker 7 (41:10):
When you find a rare coin metal detecting, you don't
polish it, You like, let it be you, so you don't.
You don't wash the pants, you don't de stickify it.
Speaker 1 (41:19):
It was it was it a hot Tampa day? Or
is it a dome? What was the It would have
been the end. It would have been playoffs, right or no? Yeah, yeah,
it would have been playoffs. So we've been like November, December, January, January.
Let me call my contact, let me give you a calendar.
Here you go, the Golden of King of collectibles. To
find out how this is done.
Speaker 5 (41:41):
He attempted sixty six passes, the most in his playoff career.
Speaker 1 (41:44):
Oh man, that's a lot of effort. It's a lot
of dropbacks, chafing. Are you impressed by that? It's probably
in the front of Oh no, no, no, It's got
to be a generational thing though, generational bragging, right, because
I'm thinking, like, yeah, what would he do? I would
never want them, but it would be cool though.
Speaker 2 (42:02):
If you told me back in the two thousands, if
you had in a case displayed like Shack's big ass shoe,
a laker, like a golden with a little purple trim.
Like you tell me you wouldn't want a Kobe like
Michael Jordan that he wore in a case. I just
think a man's pants is like, that's an odd thing. Man,
that's a you know that guy?
Speaker 1 (42:20):
The guys would would you put at least on stuff?
Brady was sacked twice in that game. Okay, I want
those Scottish Chandler ripped pants from that cop. I want
those those eighty dollars slacks that he was wearing. Do
you try them on? Oh that's a good one too.
Do you with heels that? Yeah? Do you wire him
into the bedroom? Honey? Oscar deal, Hoya got a bid
(42:43):
on this?
Speaker 3 (42:44):
Yo?
Speaker 1 (42:44):
What would you do with those? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (42:48):
That would be a weird thing. I'm such a super fan, Honey,
put them on. Tom's all right? More Caviino Rich nonsense
next right here on Fox Sports Radio.
