When competitive eating champion meets dental hygiene student, you get a episode unlike any other. Matt Crespin welcomes Miki Sudo – an 11-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest champion who holds the world record of 51 hot dogs in 10 minutes and is preparing to graduate from the dental hygiene program at Hillsborough Community College in spring 2025. Miki shares her unexpected journey from professional competitive eater to future dental hygienist as she seeks long-term stability as a wife and mother. She opens up about entering the program with no dental experience, battling self-doubt and discovering genuine passion for the profession. From training with her husband (also a competitive eater) to being recognized by patients, Miki's story reveals determination behind balancing two demanding careers. Her advice: take things one step at a time and believe in your capabilities. Whether it's one hot dog or one chapter at a time – people are capable of amazing things. 

 

Guest: Miki Sudo, Dental Hygiene Student, 11-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest Champion
