Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We bring our best everyding, especially when we're in for
the great Dan Patrick. We got Iowa Sam on the
ones and twos. We got super producer Danny g on
the phones at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Again,
we're Covino and Rich Spots on the videos at Coveno
and Rich you know, two to four on the West,
five to seven on the East. But always a pleasure
to wake up bright and early, you know it, buddy
(00:26):
for DP, It's an honor to film for Dan Patrick.
And shout out to the dan Etts, Fritzy and Malvin
and all our pals.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
We appreciate you guys letting us sit in.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's funny because every time I think of Dan Patrick,
which is often, I do think about how cool it
is that he's in Sandler movies and this Sandman and
Happy Gilmore team. That's a couple of weeks away. I know,
we're pumped about that. And just the other day we
were talking about old school jams, old school summer songs
and whatnot, and our video guy Spot brought up Jock Jam. Yeah,
(00:57):
and he's like, do you think you can name every
song as it happens, and I forgot that who like
kicks off that song?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Welcome to the big show. Damn Patrick is the guy
in Jockjam that you listen to what.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
By the way, you're thousands of his audience that they're
probably like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
No, duh, what time?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Maybe they forgot it was the last time you throwing
the jock jam Danny G ninety style when I jam,
it's not normal with the jock jam. Yeah, now it's
been a minute. Did you know that Danny G, Like
off the top of your.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Head, I did know that. Yeah. See that's what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You're talking to his audience, so they're probably like, yeah, dude,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It's because we're radio nerds, so we were always in
charge of the music, even when we were in school.
So we had the jock Jam CD and you just
put that bad Boy in and there was your soundtrack
for whatever event was going on.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
By the way, it's muscle memory. I'm not I'm not
saying let's do it now, but when you're bored as
hell later today or something at work, put on Jockjam
and you will somehow know every transition from song to
song to song. It was just part of your well
like workout mix. And you played in the locker room
at school in high school like that was just part
(02:03):
of it. No, no, I worked out to the Rocky soundtrack. Bro,
I don't know what you little boys did. I'm just
kidding you worked out, By the way, Rich is going
to tell you next how Dan Patrick also hosted sports
centers stick around.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Form by the way.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
As far as domination, we are gonna have Joey chestnutt
give us a little recap hour three.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Joey Chestnut's going to call in.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But Mike who runs his place, the guy who runs
iHeart and everything he said of that, he said, Michael
Phelps is a great answer because I know who else is.
For a moment, Bolt we're saying ball and Pele back
in the day, was like the one soccer.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Man amongst the boys. That sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The point he definitely has that sort of dominance in
his game, in his sport. Yeah, it's less about oh
he keeps winning. I'm just saying he took it not
a year off, but he had his other obligation. You
would think that some other grown man would be like,
you know, I could get within twenty hot dogs in
this guy can't do it like legend. But it's not
(03:04):
even like, oh he won again by three hot dogs.
It's like Tyson knocking out other heavyweight champions in sixty seconds.
It's that type of I know, it's hot dog eating
versus boxing or you know, that's what the sport needed
someone like him to bring it even more into the mainstream.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
That's why we talk about him.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That's why when it comes to competitive eating, how many
names do you really know? Crazy Legs, Kanti and Joey Chesnut. Yeah,
like you only know really Joey chest Like the average
fella is only gonna know, yeah, Joey Chestnut because he's
that legendary when it comes to hot dog eating and
competitive eating period. Agn Covino and Enrich line from the
(03:46):
Fox Sports Radio studio. And most cars on the road
could use a little TLC at Mako. We bring your
car back to life with affordable paint jobs and light
collision repairs.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Get a free estimate today. Uh oh, better get Mako now.
Speaking of.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Speaking of domination and speaking of just something something special,
I'll give your boy credit. Yesterday he wasn't as dominant
as he's been over the last you know, a couple
of months. But what would the Yankees be doing without
Max Freed right now? Oh, he is the only shining light. Well,
Aaron Judge too. He's on you know, his own personal
(04:24):
record pace of home runs. He's still dominant. But the
Yankees are stinking like a blink. And that's just the
truth and rich smell in the eighteen hundred. So think
of how smelly that is. Yes, Mary Todd, what no,
for real? But Max Freed is the stopper every team
needs one, you know, he stops the bleeding. He comes
(04:45):
out there. He's eleven and two by the way, and
he probably should be, uh, twelve and one.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean, I look, he had one stinker, But I
look at Max Freed for the Yankees and I you know,
I'm not going to say I told you so, but
I'm a National League fan with an American I'm a
Mets fan.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And when you.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Guys got Max Freed, I was like, man, you again,
you were like, good, guess sometimes you need to see
a player day in day out to understand how great
they really are. He's dominant, and you knew if he
got a chance for a team like the Yankees as
much as I hate, he was going to dominate Southern California.
Kid lives out here on the way, you know, grew
up out here. I believe right in Santa Monica, played
(05:23):
played out here.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
He's incredible to watch.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And yesterday with the Yankee and this is so important
for any team in any sport to have. You said,
the guy that stops the bleeding, because the Yankees have
looked like trash.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
And I was like, oh man, Max Freed yesterday. I'm
a Mets fan.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm like, well, today is the day of the Mets
lose because Max Freed, They're not going to lose seven
to row. Max Freed, You're only savior. They're just not
playing baseball. And someone said, it's like someone pulled the
plug out. It's like it's like they forgot how to play.
They're not really playing the game. It's just it's so
weird to see a team go from dominant to just
crash overnight. There's a way someone flipped a switch. When
(06:01):
you watch the Yankees. And again I'm a big Mets fan.
They they were stinking they won, you know, four in
a row, until the Yankees won yesterday. So the Mets
are trying to get back on track. Baseball's hot right now.
Your Yankees when I watch that team a little closer
when when they're playing, you know, my team, where I'm
just watching a Yanks game, I feel like, if if
(06:24):
you could pitch around Aaron Judge, the lineup's not as
scary as it looks like. They That's the Ron Washington
way of the game. He's like, the Yankees might beat me,
but I'm not gonna let Aaron Judge beat me. And
that's why he's he's gonna break records I think for
intentional walks this season because he's already up there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
We're only halfway there.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Intentionally walked a million times and that's been the trick,
and no one else steps up and now Anthony, Guys
like Anthony Vaalpi are taking the like. There was a
point yesterday and again I don't expect everyone to have
watched the Met Yankees game, but it was the national
game of the week yesterday that was on. It was
free on MLB. Mets Yankees. I mean it still got clout.
There was a point where.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It was a close enough game and I was like.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
All right, first paces up and white pitching to Aaron Judge,
and Mendoza decided, Yeah, I pitched him first pitch, didn't
even get all of it, just sort of got enough
of it to run home run.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Just like that. I'm like, there's a way.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
If you're an American League team, if you're the Tigers,
if you're the Astros, you walk them. I hate that game,
but as part of it, there's a part of me
the things that come to postseason.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You better hope guys like Volpi and gold Schmid and.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Who's those damn who's your host mustachio guy Lefty Grisham. Well, uh,
if those guys are cold, I would walk Aaron Judge.
I know it's boring as hell for baseball, but I
would walk him every at back strategy strategery.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
No, no, you're absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Right, man, And uh I did see that over the
weekend that if the team is called Aaron Judge, just
walk them, walk them every time. But speaking of your
Yankees is a more interesting story. Let's about baseball, more
about people's fandom of Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, this is wild.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think the story Danny g super producer, correct me
if I'm wrong. There's a great chance that I will
be August twenty. First is George could stands a bobblehead, now,
you got it right. And tickets. The story is that
tickets are less expensive than for what the bobbleheads are
going for on the black market, so people are willing to.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Pay slowed down black market to be like eBay, no.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Black market spot it's in the dark, it is, yeah, no,
because people are trying to get their hands on these
illegally because there's such a hot item.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I was walking down the street, someone like pulled me
into like a door and I have to go down
the stairs and down an alleyway and in the Bathtom,
I got that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You think I'm just it's the whole thing of George
with bobbleheads.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yo, you think I'm kidding, I'm gonna throw something at you.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I think the greatest Seinfeld episode ever. It's one of
the best.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, so again, Yankees, George Kastanza bomblehead pre sales for
the actual biblehead.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, the bibblehead is more than sleeping under the desk.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yes, yes, but they're going for more than tickets to
that day's game.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
The average ticket price for that game on like stub hub,
let's say, was about fifty dollars. The average pre sale
price and I don't even know how you pre sale
something you don't have your hands on on eBay was
well over two hundred dollars because you got these like.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Uh for references. They called these trash bag ticket holders
that just want to sell it for reference. They recently
did an Aaron Judge Aaron Judge special like Superman promo Bobblehead.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I'd WelCom that.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
No, he flies that leaves tall buildings in a single
band that was only about one hundred dollars on eBay.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Costanza Costanza, And again this goes back to something we've
ranted about before, and I believe our boy, Evan Roberts
also brought this up. It's only given out to the
first eighteen thousand fans, which makes boneheads want it even more.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I say boneheads respectfully because I don't know why you
would want this silly thing anyway. To me, Yeah, I'll
give him props. I heard are old. We used to
work with him at Maxim Radio back in the day
at Serious XM. Evan Roberts is now on in New
York City. Wfan, what the hell is a Maxim You
remember magazine.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Remember when print media was the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Who Evan went on a rant and I saw him
about a year ago saying, how when they do a
giveaway at a stadium, whatever the sponsor is, you tell
me you can't pony up and make sure everyone that
enters the stadium gets that, like you like, honestly, print
more bubbleheads, print more banners, make make more.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Crappy, not just for the goofball collector.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But I don't know, you're taking your kid there and
now you got to sit with their sour puss for
the rest of the day because they didn't get one
because dad was late.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I just remember my daughter, that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
My daughter went with her friend who a Dodgers game
out here because it was like hello, kiddy night, and
they had to leave early because.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
We got to make sure we get them. And I'm like,
and it brings out the worst.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's like, you know when TVs are on sale for
Black Friday, you know you get people fighting over to
the hottest Christmas gift. It's it brings out the worst
because everyone's trying to get there and cause a rut
GISs just to get their hands on the stupid bobblehead
and if you don't get one, your whole days were
oin Do you remember? So I hate that it's a
trash move. Do you remember when they did the bibblehead?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
It was show Hey and his dog, Show Hey, oh,
Denny and his dog. It was and his puppy.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
There was a line for like probably the night before,
people were lined up just to be first into the stadium.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It was show hay Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It should be something like, you know, all children under
fourteen or something ridiculous like that.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
They got to figure that out.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You mean, these billion dollar teams and billion dollar companies,
you're already making the money on concessions of tickets everything.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I am a firm believer that every kid that and
every idiot. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm not saying every every kid goofball there should get one.
I'm saying every kid should definitely be guaranteed that they
get it. Well, then again, I don't want to raise
the softy pants either, right hey, let you know, you
don't always get what you want.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Kids scramble am a ding DM. I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's a decent life lesson. But you're going there and
why did they stop that promotion at Domino's Rich. Remember
it was like, get your pizza in thirty minutes or less,
or it's free because because people were dying in car
crashes exactly, everyone was trying to, you know, get the
pizza there on time, and they were crashing their cars.
You got all these maniacs trying to get to the
(12:44):
stadium in time and early enough to get this dumb
ass bobblehead. And I have to ask you, what are
you doing with it? Grown ups? I might be the
most immature guy, you know. Let's just say I'm forty
something years old. No one interrupted you that, right.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Your mom did your laundry until you were twenty eight.
And I'm telling you, what are you doing all these bobbleheads?
You bobblehead craze. You bragged maybe like five years ago
that you learned how to make a scrambled egg for
your daughter. A. We all have our things that we collect,
and I get that, but the craze for bobbleheads is
just beyond me. And I'm a sports fan.

(14:35):
Thank you, Rapid radios again the numbers eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox Next Downur just so you know
we're playing last one standing, the game that sweeping the
nation lot harder than it sounds, harder than it looks,
much like what we do here as radio tycoons. Everybody
thinks they could do what we do. Proof everyone's a
podcaster from their bedroom.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
True story. But it's harder than it looks. Kind of
like tennis. To wrap it up, I want to play
with Andy rotics.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's harder than it looks, and the proof is in
I'd say the pudding, but the proof is in go
online and see how easy it is to get used
podcast equipment.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Because people do it.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
They try to be a you know, they try to
do their own podcast and then quickly realize, oh, and
then they sell the equipment. I'm just trying to make
it look like what we do is impressive. It's really
not really any Andy Ronnick was talking about the athleticism
and superiority involved in playing tennis.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
I think tennis players are the best athletes in the world.
Five hours and forty something minutes on the biggest stages.
You compare this to other sports. An NBA game is
forty eight minutes played in air conditioning, where you have teammates,
halftime timeouts. To say one thing doesn't mean you're throwing
shade at someone else. I'm celebrating and applauding one set
of athletes. It's the most complete examination of an athlete
(15:55):
that I can think of. You know, we used to
get viewed as like, oh, your soft, like country club sport.
I don't know that that narrative exists. I don't know
how you can watch and not say the athleticism on
display is otherworldly. I think tennis players are the best
athletes in the world. The more I watch it, the
more I think it tell me why I'm.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Wrong, you know what.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I respect it, the more I hear it. Good for him,
he's defending it. I like what he said, but I
will debate it. I like the stigma that it has
of some sort of country club soft sport, though, and
thank the movies for that. It's always like these rich
douche nozzles that are portrayed playing tennis, right. I mean,
(16:35):
it is a quote country club sport, but it's also
very tough, which is why all those rich people have
tennis lessons.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
But again, to wrap it up.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I think it's more of the skill that's involved that
makes it tough as opposed to I don't know, fighting,
like I said, is probably more difficult. Tennis is up there, though.
I just think it's one of those things that are
harder than they look. I just feel like some his
wife is always sleeping with the tennis pro right, that's
(17:04):
the reputation.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
What are your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Hit us up at Covino and Rich tell Roddick, tell
us why you agree or disagree. I wanted to bring
up something before we move on to the NFL, before
we play a little last one standing give away some
prizes here. Gonna talk to Joey Chestnut next hour. That
is big victory over the fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I just saw that.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I believe I'm only finding three names of people that
have already confirmed that they're in the home run derby.
Am I wrong about saying? I saw Akunya, Junior cal
Raley and James Wood. James Woods rally was the big announcement.
I don't know who else is involved yet.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I know that Schwarber and Pete A.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Lonzo have both declined, same with Judge and Otani, and
I still think the Derby is great no matter what.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
We're going to be there.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You have only three confirmed, But is there a responsibility
especially with baseball being so hot right now. Like we
are big baseball fans, so we're always gonna be a
little biased. But I feel like with the stars of
the game, the sho Heyo Tanis, the Aaron Judges, the
Lindores and the cal Rawley's and the Bryce Harper's and
(18:18):
the Tattoos juniors and the scoop balls and schemes, and
baseball is in a moment right now where all these
young stars are representing. It's like the eighties where every
team had the guy you knew how who was their
starting lineup.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Figure.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Baseball's hot right now. I think it's a bad time
for these stars to be sitting out the Derby. I
feel like baseball could kick every other sport in the
nuts right now if they were like, you know what,
we're gonna do our star stuff. We're gonna do our
Derby and guess who's in it, Otani Judge Alonso. You know,
I won't debate that, but I do completely understand why
they shy away from it.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It messes up people's swing Bobby.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's happened multiple times, but I call it the old
Bobby a bray you because he went in there having
a season, came out like he forgot how to swing
because he got some bad habits formed for taking monster hats.
But I mean did some of the great moments with
Robbie Cano and his dad and them, Mirfielder, Prince and
Cecil celebrated together. There's been great moments for the Derby,
(19:17):
and I'm sure this year great. This year is gonna
be great to listen. Cal Raley, Acuna Junior, James Woods
are just three of the names, and those are three stars.
I'm just saying, if you told me the home run
Derby was show, Hey, Judge Schwarber, Pete Alonzo, cal Rowley,
like if you and Acunya Junior because he's a hometown guy,
(19:37):
if you told me that, I'd be like, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Throwing Bryce Harper as well last year's winner to Oscar
her name and ta Oscar throw in.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
You know, was gonna end up doing a guy like
Jazz Chisholm because he's hey, can hit bombs and he's
just pumped to be there, so it can be like, hey, Jazz,
why don't you join, But I don't look at Jazz's
same exactly. That's what makes it a little more underwell,
I mean than it should be. But still, but we
come back every time and we say that it's the
most underrated sporting event.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, that we go to. It's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I don't know if you enjoy it on TV, but
they're just hitting bombs and to be there is electric.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
It's so much fun when you're there. I have a
role here. How about you should have to be top
ten in the category.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I think they should set some rules and parameters there. Yeah,
because otherwise you're like, why am I caring about this
guy hitting home runs?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Not even a home run hit? Now, listen, James, WHATFTO?
I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
This is the criticism that the NBA James James Wood
twenty three homers, So he belongs there.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
And you know what, Akunya Junior not in your league.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Leaders, but he's the hometown guy. And of course cal
Rawley leading the league with thirty five, but Judge Otani Schwerber,
PCA with up Cubbies, Crow Armstrong get him in there.
I just feel like there's an opportunity for baseball, Like
I said, think you really want to take a chance
to to show hey and judge the faces of baseball
pull and oblique or something stupid because they're doing this contest,
(21:07):
or that's why it doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
They're too valuable.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I know, I'm just saying, like baseball, I still think
it's a great thing, not just because we're going there,
but I do. But again, we're talking about how we
undermine the athleticism in tennis. I think we underestimate the
endurance involved and potential injury involved in just taking.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Hack after hack after hack after hack.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But because I like baseball more than basketball, I can't
talk out of both sides of my mouth.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I can't play like.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'm not Terry fad or I or I can't talk
out of both sides of my mouth. I can on
one hand be like Derby's great no matter what, because
it is. But what's the biggest criticism of the NBA
Slam dunk contest, the three point shootout, all these things?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
It's like, well, where's the where's the stars? Mac mcclun,
give me a freaking break? You want to start?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So if we're gonna criticize, that's why I give Pete
a Lonzo, lots of promise. He did every it doesn't
back off on it. Well this year he's like, yeah,
I'm just not gonna do it this year. So I
can't get hard on Polar Bear Pete because he's done
it many times. Yeah, he's not scared of the moment. Yeah,
I think there's also it's not just the risk. I
think there's a lot of pressure on these dudes and
(22:17):
it's just not worth it for him. Liking Aaron Judge,
He's like, Yeah, everyone's expecting me to win, and that's
not necessarily Maybe, uh, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
How you're saying.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You're saying if Judge, you're saying, if he hits like
like eleven home runs and he's out in the first round,
it's like Aaron Jodge was out in the first loser,
it ruins the mystique, right.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
So maybe there is more mistique.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
But again, I think the Derby's great, no matter well,
because these guys are all hitting bombs. I'm just thinking
baseball at its height right now, which I feel like baseball.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Ratings are up, numbers are up, attendancies up.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Man, they really could put an exclamation point if they said,
the Derby has Judge Orotani or both. Maybe you'll bring
back some old retired stars just to seem hit some
bum if Barry Bonds could get back.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio w APP.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Now we got this guy lined up? Do we have
mister Joey Chestnut on standby waiting to just say hi?
He'll be here in a couple of minutes. I got
some listener questions too, curious to see how he's doing,
how he deals with all the fame. For really, it
must be overwhelming to see all that feedback, to see
all those posts afterward must be quite the thrill because
(23:35):
your your page is flooded with that. But I wonder,
you know what, throw this down there if you if
you want to ask him when you are scrolling through
social media? Does he even like, you know what, when
it's your birthday on social media? How you have like,
you know, thousands of people happy birthday? You know, like
you try to get back to everyone when you win
(23:57):
the hot dog getting contest? Do you think he actually
looks at us social media, absolutely, because every idiot included
the thrill of victory.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Idiot including us that is hung with him, met him,
or took a picture with him, posted and they're like,
there's our guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
He has to be overwhelmed with the amount of feedback
and you know the people that are talking about him
and about the event, and it's just that one day
and then you know he's back to I don't say
normal life, but yeah, he's He's.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
The biggest star of the day. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Who's more American than Joey Chestnut. I mean he brings
us all together in a time where many people are
not getting along. Now, while we wait for Joey, you
got him spot. Oh yeah, he's entering the room. You
should have like a fanfare for him.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
There he is, Joey Chestnut with glory and renown.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
We welcome back seventeen time hot dog eating champion, the Great,
the Goat, Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Now you Joey, gonna be on with you guys again. Always,
thanks for making men. Always good to see you. First
of all, I gotta ask, how do we feel three
days later? Are we we're back to normal or what
it was? Three days later? Still I don't think.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
I'll ever be normal, but uh, I uh yeah, I
probably feel Yeah, I look pretty rough. I feel pretty
rough still. I uh yeah, yesterday's a long day of travel.
Uh but you know I'm back to my own bed,
got my you know, my dogs, and uh yeah, I'm
starting I'm getting close to normal.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Joey Kavino and I were just saying, we're curious if
the day of the Hot Dog Eating Championship, those twenty
four hours surrounding the event, are you aware of how
much you trend on social media? Are you watching and
looking at all the memes and the post and every
relish pun intended?
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Yes, no, I uh a little bit, but it's uh
I actually turn off my phone usually worth and I
I it's yeah, kind I'm kind of I get I
get overwhelmed. I'm actually a shy guy, so I don't
look at that stuff too much.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It's overwhelming for us to see how much coverage you
get for real, Like it's it's a ton of coverage.
Are you ever shocked to see who's talking about you
or tweeting about you?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh the whole time?
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Like, yeah, yesterday I started going through things and see
seeing what was said and I like all the Mounta
Rushmore posts. Those ones are those ones, like, oh my god,
those are embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You know what we were talking about that before the
dominance that you hold even at your what wasn't your
best right seventy point five, but it was still enough
to win by a landslide, by a lot and still impressive.
But I know you were shooting for eighty. When it
comes to dominance, who else comes to mind for you
growing up? Because there's such a gap between you and
the next guy. Oh, dominance, I said, you and like
(26:54):
Tyson and guys like that. When you think of dominance,
who comes to mind?
Speaker 8 (26:58):
I think of Barry Bonds and he was just unapologetic.
He was there just to be the best that he
could and hit home runs and dominate.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
You look at.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I mean, everybody says Jordan, but yeah, Jordan, but yeah,
I don't know. It's to compare myself. It's weird to
compare myself to other people. I got super lucky. I
found something that I didn't even know I was going
to be, Like, this was my thing until I was
twenty one years old. Like all the other athletes, anybody
(27:32):
who's a competitor, they knew, like when they were five,
that that's.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
What they were going to be doing.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Well, if you weren't Joey Chestnut, the seven time, seventeen
seventeen time champion, what would you be doing?
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Oh my god, I'd still be working, probably construction management.
I went to school for civil engineering, and I like
seeing things being part of a big, big project. But
I yeah, I don't know what i'd be doing really,
but I'd still be probably eating and drinking for fun
quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Seventeen time winner Joey Chess, Now, thanks for the post
fourth of July check in.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
We were thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
When you win by such a large margin, you're around
the same age as Lebron James and he's you know,
just playing as as well as he's ever played. You
saw Tom Brady play till he was forty five years old.
When you're winning by again twenty hot dogs, is there
any slowing down? Are you gonna be the one that
walks away eventually? Or can you do this for another
(28:30):
ten plus years? Or is that just too much on
your body?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Or forty one? Now right?
Speaker 8 (28:35):
Yeah, I'm forty one. The recovery it takes longer. I
remember when I was younger, I'd be bounce bounced back
after two days. It was the body was, Oh my god,
it was. It was amazing. And I these days it
takes a little bit longer, and that's to be expected.
But we'll see. As long as long as I'm still
able to bounce back, eventually, I'll keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And I still love it.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
At that audience out there, we're talking twenty thousand people
New York, it's a it was great to be back.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, your name not only welcoming you back. You know
what I saw him get this is USO.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Like the walk into the place, like you know how
like they'll show like the NBA players in the tunnel
wading entrance. I saw like the Joey Chestnut, He's arrived,
he's here. That's it's It's really cool how they how
they demonstrated your comeback. And at no point, at no
point did anyone think you weren't going to dominate this.
In fact, is it wild to think that, you know,
(29:32):
so many people were betting on your over under how
many you know people are wagering on how many hot
dogs you win by that's like a thing.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
Now, Yeah, the over under man that that's the painful one.
I A lot a lot of people bet the over
and I feel bad. I'm gonna next year.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I'm gonna.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
I'm gonna, Yeah, I'm gonna put the work in. I
uh now that it we uh do it's I'm going
to figure it out how to get get get that
to approach that record seventy six. Even though I'm older,
I know there's a way I can do it.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Hey, Joey, Actually I have a listener question that goes
with that. This is from a mercer man who's also
a competitive eater in training. He goes, what do you
think was the reason that the eaters had trouble getting
down the dogs this year? Because numbers? We were talking numbers.
Numbers were sort of down for men and women. Were
the buns stale or more dense, or maybe the dogs
(30:23):
were cooked too much and harder to swallow? Why were
numbers down this year?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You think it was a little weird.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Yeah, the I I don't know exactly. The dogs did
taste a little a little different. There's I don't know
if they cooked them ahead of time or what, but
they were a little bit darker all the way around.
I don't know what they if they cooked him on
a grill that was just too.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Hot or something. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
It was there was something a little bit different about
the dogs. I know Mickey her numbers were off, like
seventeen hot dogs. So as soon as I saw that
her number was down by so much, I was like, oh,
maybybe there's something off. I was still fast as heck
in the beginning, but I I just I was a
fat man. Towards the end, I slowed down. And that's
(31:14):
all on me.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
It was.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
It wasn't really the dogs.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
So I I next year.
Speaker 8 (31:18):
I just got to come in better shape.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I think Joey Chestnut hanging with Cavino rich in for
Dan Patrick. Now, most people look at their outlook, their
calendar and oh, I got a work trip, a meeting.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
What's coming up over the next couple of weeks? For you?
What is that? Is there a do you have a
competition on the horizon raid? Right?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Like?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Did you have a Disney World?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
What's up for Joey chest out? What what are we
eating next? Or are you taking a little time out?
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Now? No, there's a what do I gut? Uh geez,
I think I might have a little bit of time off.
I'm gonna go visit a friend in Alaska at the
end of the month, do some salmon fishing. But yeah,
so I'm taking a little bit of time. Uh, there's
a couple of appearances and there's a minor league baseball game.
I think on the twenty first, I'll be in a Lancing, Michigan. Yeah,
(32:05):
doing something up there. But uh yeah, yeah, I'll be
eating olive burgers.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
That's what any g wants to know. How many salmon
could you eat at once? Yeah? Uh.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You know, we were talking about Andy Ronnicks saying that
tennis takes more athleticism than any other sport. He was
saying it's the hardest sport to play, and you were
just talking about how tough it is to recover in
your sport. What is the toughest part about your sport
and what you do? Like the biggest misconception maybe.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Oh, I think the hardest. The biggest thing is that
I have to be fairly healthy. I love to eat,
but when I when I, it's just double edged. Short.
You have to be a big eater naturally, but the
more you eat, the the harder it is to eat
within those ten minutes. So I have to really have
to be somewhat fit and control my eating and going
absolutely empty. So it's it's a lot of it's it's
(32:58):
a lot of contradiction.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah, you have to be a bit in a mental
bat all the time, like to not overeat. Oh, it's
it's I love to eat.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
Like my biggest thing is like, like I'm I'm still
like fourteen pounds heavier than than when I started the contest,
because all right, I had a couple of beers, had
some beers, I had My recovery after a contest is
supposed to be super high fiber, no carbs, no starches.
But if I started having any of those carbs, the
waight really stays on me.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Joey.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
One last question you're synonymous with with hot dogs, can
you know? And I always feel like pizza is the
one thing that so easy to overeat if you're if
you're having some drinks, watching a fight night with some
of your buddies, Like, what is a reasonable amount of
pizza you think for a grown man to eat?
Speaker 8 (33:48):
Well, it depends on the pie.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
It depends on the pizzas like New York City style
like eight slice, eight eight slices New York City pie.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
Yeah, yeah, you're you're eating more more than two thirds
of the pot. Yeah, that's six slices is pretty normal.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Wow, yeah, man, a little more kill free then.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
Yeah. But a lot of people they it's easy football games.
It's like a three hour long thing. You're gonna it's
easy to just lose count. Yeah, and then a lot
of people have parties. But there's multiple where where there's
different boxes open, so it's it's it's easy. I'll go
to a place and there's I'll more than one more
(34:31):
than eight slices, twelve twelve slices probably, but it's a
you just lose count.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Don't be friends with Joey Chestnut and you're having a party.
You always have to accommodate for this guy.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Little yeah, an.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Extra part for Yeah, hey Joey, we'll let you go.
I know you're a busy man as you're getting ready
for some downtime.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Are you big? Are you a football guy?
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Or now?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I love football?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Who's your team? Because we're about to do a little
NFL preview? Who's your team?
Speaker 8 (34:57):
I'm living in the n and F, so big time Colts.
I still every year I go to a Buffalo Bills game.
I'm hoping. Uh, I'm always rooting for the Bills a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Josh Allen, this could be the year and they're saying
that Daniel Jones could be making an impact in Indianapolis.
So we'll get to all that. Joey, appreciate your time
as man. Congrats again, seventeen time winners. Great to have
you back as many championships as your Lakers.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Danty look of that. Thank you, Joey, Thank you. Guys,
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Brother the goat right there, Joey Chestnut just far superior
than anybody else. And by the way, I think his
numbers are a little skewed. Six slices of pizza. You're
a guy vone, as they say, but I think at
four and that's when I'm like, hey, how many did
you have? Because you never want to be the sloppiest guy,
but I do some guy at five you're like, all right, well,
(35:46):
I'm still good. Well, I do feel like Max when
you were a kid, when you were a little kid
and your family would get one pie, one pizza for
the family.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Always had always keep the secret that he ate one
on the way home. He d a whole pie.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Who because I always thought like I had two siblings,
so there were five of us. I'm like, how did
one the math?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
It never meth either. Dad didn't eat in the eighties.
The math wasn't meth.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
And as they say, well Dad ate a whole pie
by himself on the way home and never told anybody.
That might be the trick in itself, not to tell
like a bunch of slobs. But like Danny g I
was saying, how many slices could you have? Like if
we got we could we could only the pine, But
it's how many should you have?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Nowadays I stop after the third piece.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yeah, I started at four. I hate myself, so I
could eat the whole thing. But at four us when
I'm like, all right, Max Stout, you couldn't. He said sick.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
But I'm saying, if you wanted or said twelve the night,
if calories didn't matter and health wasn't a thing, you
could easily put down a whole pipe who.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Put down a medium by yourself? You could eat a
whole pizza easily, easy, easy crust. You could do a
medium by yourself if you're not worried about gaining weight.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
But the trick is this, It's like you know, you
gotta you can't be the worst guy in your crew.
So if the worst guy in your crew had five slices,
you had four, you're good.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
That's that's the that's my rule. Man, Danny, how many
times this? How many wings you have? He's always counting.
I don't want to have most every event, I know
the question is coming, Hey, how many did you have?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
The rule applies for alcohol too. It's like how many
drinks did you have?
Speaker 8 (37:20):
Good?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Because you're going to be the stupidest by the end
of the night. All right, and keep it always, keep
it a little little less
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We bring our best everyding, especially when we're in for
the great Dan Patrick. We got Iowa Sam on the
ones and twos. We got super producer Danny g on
the phones at eight seven, seven ninety nine on Fox Again,
we're Covino and Rich Spots on the videos at Coveno
and Rich you know, two to four on the West,
five to seven on the East. But always a pleasure
to wake up bright and early, you know it, buddy
(00:26):
for DP, It's an honor to film for Dan Patrick.
And shout out to the dan Etts, Fritzy and Malvin
and all our pals.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
We appreciate you guys letting us sit in.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's funny because every time I think of Dan Patrick,
which is often, I do think about how cool it
is that he's in Sandler movies and this Sandman and
Happy Gilmore team. That's a couple of weeks away. I know,
we're pumped about that. And just the other day we
were talking about old school jams, old school summer songs
and whatnot, and our video guy Spot brought up Jock Jam. Yeah,
(00:57):
and he's like, do you think you can name every
song as it happens, and I forgot that who like
kicks off that song?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Welcome to the big show. Damn Patrick is the guy
in Jockjam that you listen to what.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
By the way, you're thousands of his audience that they're
probably like, yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
No, duh, what time?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Maybe they forgot it was the last time you throwing
the jock jam Danny G ninety style when I jam,
it's not normal with the jock jam. Yeah, now it's
been a minute. Did you know that Danny G, Like
off the top of your.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Head, I did know that. Yeah. See that's what I'm saying, Like.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
You're talking to his audience, so they're probably like, yeah, dude,
welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
It's because we're radio nerds, so we were always in
charge of the music, even when we were in school.
So we had the jock Jam CD and you just
put that bad Boy in and there was your soundtrack
for whatever event was going on.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
By the way, it's muscle memory. I'm not I'm not
saying let's do it now, but when you're bored as
hell later today or something at work, put on Jockjam
and you will somehow know every transition from song to
song to song. It was just part of your well
like workout mix. And you played in the locker room
at school in high school like that was just part
(02:03):
of it. No, no, I worked out to the Rocky soundtrack. Bro,
I don't know what you little boys did. I'm just
kidding you worked out, By the way, Rich is going
to tell you next how Dan Patrick also hosted sports
centers stick around.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
Form by the way.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
As far as domination, we are gonna have Joey chestnutt
give us a little recap hour three.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Joey Chestnut's going to call in.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But Mike who runs his place, the guy who runs
iHeart and everything he said of that, he said, Michael
Phelps is a great answer because I know who else is.
For a moment, Bolt we're saying ball and Pele back
in the day, was like the one soccer.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Man amongst the boys. That sort of thing.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
The point he definitely has that sort of dominance in
his game, in his sport. Yeah, it's less about oh
he keeps winning. I'm just saying he took it not
a year off, but he had his other obligation. You
would think that some other grown man would be like,
you know, I could get within twenty hot dogs in
this guy can't do it like legend. But it's not
(03:04):
even like, oh he won again by three hot dogs.
It's like Tyson knocking out other heavyweight champions in sixty seconds.
It's that type of I know, it's hot dog eating
versus boxing or you know, that's what the sport needed
someone like him to bring it even more into the mainstream.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
That's why we talk about him.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
That's why when it comes to competitive eating, how many
names do you really know? Crazy Legs, Kanti and Joey Chesnut. Yeah,
like you only know really Joey chest Like the average
fella is only gonna know, yeah, Joey Chestnut because he's
that legendary when it comes to hot dog eating and
competitive eating period. Agn Covino and Enrich line from the
(03:46):
Fox Sports Radio studio. And most cars on the road
could use a little TLC at Mako. We bring your
car back to life with affordable paint jobs and light
collision repairs.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
Get a free estimate today. Uh oh, better get Mako now.
Speaking of.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Speaking of domination and speaking of just something something special,
I'll give your boy credit. Yesterday he wasn't as dominant
as he's been over the last you know, a couple
of months. But what would the Yankees be doing without
Max Freed right now? Oh, he is the only shining light. Well,
Aaron Judge too. He's on you know, his own personal
(04:24):
record pace of home runs. He's still dominant. But the
Yankees are stinking like a blink. And that's just the
truth and rich smell in the eighteen hundred. So think
of how smelly that is. Yes, Mary Todd, what no,
for real? But Max Freed is the stopper every team
needs one, you know, he stops the bleeding. He comes
(04:45):
out there. He's eleven and two by the way, and
he probably should be, uh, twelve and one.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
I mean, I look, he had one stinker, But I
look at Max Freed for the Yankees and I you know,
I'm not going to say I told you so, but
I'm a National League fan with an American I'm a
Mets fan.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
And when you.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Guys got Max Freed, I was like, man, you again,
you were like, good, guess sometimes you need to see
a player day in day out to understand how great
they really are. He's dominant, and you knew if he
got a chance for a team like the Yankees as
much as I hate, he was going to dominate Southern California.
Kid lives out here on the way, you know, grew
up out here. I believe right in Santa Monica, played
(05:23):
played out here.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
He's incredible to watch.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
And yesterday with the Yankee and this is so important
for any team in any sport to have. You said,
the guy that stops the bleeding, because the Yankees have
looked like trash.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
And I was like, oh man, Max Freed yesterday. I'm
a Mets fan.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I'm like, well, today is the day of the Mets
lose because Max Freed, They're not going to lose seven
to row. Max Freed, You're only savior. They're just not
playing baseball. And someone said, it's like someone pulled the
plug out. It's like it's like they forgot how to play.
They're not really playing the game. It's just it's so
weird to see a team go from dominant to just
crash overnight. There's a way someone flipped a switch. When
(06:01):
you watch the Yankees. And again I'm a big Mets fan.
They they were stinking they won, you know, four in
a row, until the Yankees won yesterday. So the Mets
are trying to get back on track. Baseball's hot right now.
Your Yankees when I watch that team a little closer
when when they're playing, you know, my team, where I'm
just watching a Yanks game, I feel like, if if
(06:24):
you could pitch around Aaron Judge, the lineup's not as
scary as it looks like. They That's the Ron Washington
way of the game. He's like, the Yankees might beat me,
but I'm not gonna let Aaron Judge beat me. And
that's why he's he's gonna break records I think for
intentional walks this season because he's already up there.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
We're only halfway there.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Intentionally walked a million times and that's been the trick,
and no one else steps up and now Anthony, Guys
like Anthony Vaalpi are taking the like. There was a
point yesterday and again I don't expect everyone to have
watched the Met Yankees game, but it was the national
game of the week yesterday that was on. It was
free on MLB. Mets Yankees. I mean it still got clout.
There was a point where.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
It was a close enough game and I was like.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
All right, first paces up and white pitching to Aaron Judge,
and Mendoza decided, Yeah, I pitched him first pitch, didn't
even get all of it, just sort of got enough
of it to run home run.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Just like that. I'm like, there's a way.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
If you're an American League team, if you're the Tigers,
if you're the Astros, you walk them. I hate that game,
but as part of it, there's a part of me
the things that come to postseason.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
You better hope guys like Volpi and gold Schmid and.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Who's those damn who's your host mustachio guy Lefty Grisham. Well, uh,
if those guys are cold, I would walk Aaron Judge.
I know it's boring as hell for baseball, but I
would walk him every at back strategy strategery.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
No, no, you're absolutely.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Right, man, And uh I did see that over the
weekend that if the team is called Aaron Judge, just
walk them, walk them every time. But speaking of your
Yankees is a more interesting story. Let's about baseball, more
about people's fandom of Seinfeld.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Yeah, this is wild.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
I think the story Danny g super producer, correct me
if I'm wrong. There's a great chance that I will
be August twenty. First is George could stands a bobblehead, now,
you got it right. And tickets. The story is that
tickets are less expensive than for what the bobbleheads are
going for on the black market, so people are willing to.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Pay slowed down black market to be like eBay, no.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Black market spot it's in the dark, it is, yeah, no,
because people are trying to get their hands on these
illegally because there's such a hot item.
Speaker 5 (08:44):
I was walking down the street, someone like pulled me
into like a door and I have to go down
the stairs and down an alleyway and in the Bathtom,
I got that.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
You think I'm just it's the whole thing of George
with bobbleheads.
Speaker 3 (08:56):
Yo, you think I'm kidding, I'm gonna throw something at you.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
I think the greatest Seinfeld episode ever. It's one of
the best.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Yeah, so again, Yankees, George Kastanza bomblehead pre sales for
the actual biblehead.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Yeah, the bibblehead is more than sleeping under the desk.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
Yes, yes, but they're going for more than tickets to
that day's game.
Speaker 5 (09:21):
The average ticket price for that game on like stub hub,
let's say, was about fifty dollars. The average pre sale
price and I don't even know how you pre sale
something you don't have your hands on on eBay was
well over two hundred dollars because you got these like.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Uh for references. They called these trash bag ticket holders
that just want to sell it for reference. They recently
did an Aaron Judge Aaron Judge special like Superman promo Bobblehead.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
I'd WelCom that.
Speaker 5 (09:51):
No, he flies that leaves tall buildings in a single
band that was only about one hundred dollars on eBay.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Costanza Costanza, And again this goes back to something we've
ranted about before, and I believe our boy, Evan Roberts
also brought this up. It's only given out to the
first eighteen thousand fans, which makes boneheads want it even more.
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
I say boneheads respectfully because I don't know why you
would want this silly thing anyway. To me, Yeah, I'll
give him props. I heard are old. We used to
work with him at Maxim Radio back in the day
at Serious XM. Evan Roberts is now on in New
York City. Wfan, what the hell is a Maxim You
remember magazine.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Remember when print media was the thing.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
Who Evan went on a rant and I saw him
about a year ago saying, how when they do a
giveaway at a stadium, whatever the sponsor is, you tell
me you can't pony up and make sure everyone that
enters the stadium gets that, like you like, honestly, print
more bubbleheads, print more banners, make make more.
Speaker 3 (10:53):
Crappy, not just for the goofball collector.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
But I don't know, you're taking your kid there and
now you got to sit with their sour puss for
the rest of the day because they didn't get one
because dad was late.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I just remember my daughter, that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
My daughter went with her friend who a Dodgers game
out here because it was like hello, kiddy night, and
they had to leave early because.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
We got to make sure we get them. And I'm like,
and it brings out the worst.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
It's like, you know when TVs are on sale for
Black Friday, you know you get people fighting over to
the hottest Christmas gift. It's it brings out the worst
because everyone's trying to get there and cause a rut
GISs just to get their hands on the stupid bobblehead
and if you don't get one, your whole days were
oin Do you remember? So I hate that it's a
trash move. Do you remember when they did the bibblehead?
Speaker 3 (11:35):
It was show Hey and his dog, Show Hey, oh,
Denny and his dog. It was and his puppy.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
There was a line for like probably the night before,
people were lined up just to be first into the stadium.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
It was show hay Oh.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
It should be something like, you know, all children under
fourteen or something ridiculous like that.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
They got to figure that out.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
You mean, these billion dollar teams and billion dollar companies,
you're already making the money on concessions of tickets everything.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
I am a firm believer that every kid that and
every idiot. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
I'm not saying every every kid goofball there should get one.
I'm saying every kid should definitely be guaranteed that they
get it. Well, then again, I don't want to raise
the softy pants either, right hey, let you know, you
don't always get what you want.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Kids scramble am a ding DM. I get it.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
It's a decent life lesson. But you're going there and
why did they stop that promotion at Domino's Rich. Remember
it was like, get your pizza in thirty minutes or less,
or it's free because because people were dying in car
crashes exactly, everyone was trying to, you know, get the
pizza there on time, and they were crashing their cars.
You got all these maniacs trying to get to the
(12:44):
stadium in time and early enough to get this dumb
ass bobblehead. And I have to ask you, what are
you doing with it? Grown ups? I might be the
most immature guy, you know. Let's just say I'm forty
something years old. No one interrupted you that, right.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Right.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
Your mom did your laundry until you were twenty eight.
And I'm telling you, what are you doing all these bobbleheads?
You bobblehead craze. You bragged maybe like five years ago
that you learned how to make a scrambled egg for
your daughter. A. We all have our things that we collect,
and I get that, but the craze for bobbleheads is
just beyond me. And I'm a sports fan.

(14:35):
Thank you, Rapid radios again the numbers eight seven, seven
ninety nine on Fox Next Downur just so you know
we're playing last one standing, the game that sweeping the
nation lot harder than it sounds, harder than it looks,
much like what we do here as radio tycoons. Everybody
thinks they could do what we do. Proof everyone's a
podcaster from their bedroom.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
True story. But it's harder than it looks. Kind of
like tennis. To wrap it up, I want to play
with Andy rotics.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
It's harder than it looks, and the proof is in
I'd say the pudding, but the proof is in go
online and see how easy it is to get used
podcast equipment.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Because people do it.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
They try to be a you know, they try to
do their own podcast and then quickly realize, oh, and
then they sell the equipment. I'm just trying to make
it look like what we do is impressive. It's really
not really any Andy Ronnick was talking about the athleticism
and superiority involved in playing tennis.
Speaker 7 (15:34):
I think tennis players are the best athletes in the world.
Five hours and forty something minutes on the biggest stages.
You compare this to other sports. An NBA game is
forty eight minutes played in air conditioning, where you have teammates,
halftime timeouts. To say one thing doesn't mean you're throwing
shade at someone else. I'm celebrating and applauding one set
of athletes. It's the most complete examination of an athlete
(15:55):
that I can think of. You know, we used to
get viewed as like, oh, your soft, like country club sport.
I don't know that that narrative exists. I don't know
how you can watch and not say the athleticism on
display is otherworldly. I think tennis players are the best
athletes in the world. The more I watch it, the
more I think it tell me why I'm.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
Wrong, you know what.
Speaker 2 (16:14):
I respect it, the more I hear it. Good for him,
he's defending it. I like what he said, but I
will debate it. I like the stigma that it has
of some sort of country club soft sport, though, and
thank the movies for that. It's always like these rich
douche nozzles that are portrayed playing tennis, right. I mean,
(16:35):
it is a quote country club sport, but it's also
very tough, which is why all those rich people have
tennis lessons.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
But again, to wrap it up.
Speaker 2 (16:43):
I think it's more of the skill that's involved that
makes it tough as opposed to I don't know, fighting,
like I said, is probably more difficult. Tennis is up there, though.
I just think it's one of those things that are
harder than they look. I just feel like some his
wife is always sleeping with the tennis pro right, that's
(17:04):
the reputation.
Speaker 3 (17:05):
What are your thoughts?
Speaker 2 (17:05):
Hit us up at Covino and Rich tell Roddick, tell
us why you agree or disagree. I wanted to bring
up something before we move on to the NFL, before
we play a little last one standing give away some
prizes here. Gonna talk to Joey Chestnut next hour. That
is big victory over the fourth of July weekend.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I just saw that.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I believe I'm only finding three names of people that
have already confirmed that they're in the home run derby.
Am I wrong about saying? I saw Akunya, Junior cal
Raley and James Wood. James Woods rally was the big announcement.
I don't know who else is involved yet.
Speaker 3 (17:44):
I know that Schwarber and Pete A.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Lonzo have both declined, same with Judge and Otani, and
I still think the Derby is great no matter what.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
We're going to be there.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
You have only three confirmed, But is there a responsibility
especially with baseball being so hot right now. Like we
are big baseball fans, so we're always gonna be a
little biased. But I feel like with the stars of
the game, the sho Heyo Tanis, the Aaron Judges, the
Lindores and the cal Rawley's and the Bryce Harper's and
(18:18):
the Tattoos juniors and the scoop balls and schemes, and
baseball is in a moment right now where all these
young stars are representing. It's like the eighties where every
team had the guy you knew how who was their
starting lineup.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Figure.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
Baseball's hot right now. I think it's a bad time
for these stars to be sitting out the Derby. I
feel like baseball could kick every other sport in the
nuts right now if they were like, you know what,
we're gonna do our star stuff. We're gonna do our
Derby and guess who's in it, Otani Judge Alonso. You know,
I won't debate that, but I do completely understand why
they shy away from it.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
It messes up people's swing Bobby.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
It's happened multiple times, but I call it the old
Bobby a bray you because he went in there having
a season, came out like he forgot how to swing
because he got some bad habits formed for taking monster hats.
But I mean did some of the great moments with
Robbie Cano and his dad and them, Mirfielder, Prince and
Cecil celebrated together. There's been great moments for the Derby,
(19:17):
and I'm sure this year great. This year is gonna
be great to listen. Cal Raley, Acuna Junior, James Woods
are just three of the names, and those are three stars.
I'm just saying, if you told me the home run
Derby was show, Hey, Judge Schwarber, Pete Alonzo, cal Rowley,
like if you and Acunya Junior because he's a hometown guy,
(19:37):
if you told me that, I'd be like, oh my god.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Throwing Bryce Harper as well last year's winner to Oscar
her name and ta Oscar throw in.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
You know, was gonna end up doing a guy like
Jazz Chisholm because he's hey, can hit bombs and he's
just pumped to be there, so it can be like, hey, Jazz,
why don't you join, But I don't look at Jazz's
same exactly. That's what makes it a little more underwell,
I mean than it should be. But still, but we
come back every time and we say that it's the
most underrated sporting event.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
Yeah, that we go to. It's so much fun.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
I don't know if you enjoy it on TV, but
they're just hitting bombs and to be there is electric.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
It's so much fun when you're there. I have a
role here. How about you should have to be top
ten in the category.
Speaker 8 (20:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
I think they should set some rules and parameters there. Yeah,
because otherwise you're like, why am I caring about this
guy hitting home runs?
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Not even a home run hit? Now, listen, James, WHATFTO?
I mean?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
This is the criticism that the NBA James James Wood
twenty three homers, So he belongs there.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
And you know what, Akunya Junior not in your league.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Leaders, but he's the hometown guy. And of course cal
Rawley leading the league with thirty five, but Judge Otani Schwerber,
PCA with up Cubbies, Crow Armstrong get him in there.
I just feel like there's an opportunity for baseball, Like
I said, think you really want to take a chance
to to show hey and judge the faces of baseball
pull and oblique or something stupid because they're doing this contest,
(21:07):
or that's why it doesn't happen.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
They're too valuable.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I know, I'm just saying, like baseball, I still think
it's a great thing, not just because we're going there,
but I do. But again, we're talking about how we
undermine the athleticism in tennis. I think we underestimate the
endurance involved and potential injury involved in just taking.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
Hack after hack after hack after hack.
Speaker 2 (21:29):
But because I like baseball more than basketball, I can't
talk out of both sides of my mouth.
Speaker 3 (21:35):
I can't play like.
Speaker 2 (21:36):
I'm not Terry fad or I or I can't talk
out of both sides of my mouth. I can on
one hand be like Derby's great no matter what, because
it is. But what's the biggest criticism of the NBA
Slam dunk contest, the three point shootout, all these things?
Speaker 3 (21:50):
It's like, well, where's the where's the stars? Mac mcclun,
give me a freaking break? You want to start?
Speaker 2 (21:57):
So if we're gonna criticize, that's why I give Pete
a Lonzo, lots of promise. He did every it doesn't
back off on it. Well this year he's like, yeah,
I'm just not gonna do it this year. So I
can't get hard on Polar Bear Pete because he's done
it many times. Yeah, he's not scared of the moment. Yeah,
I think there's also it's not just the risk. I
think there's a lot of pressure on these dudes and
(22:17):
it's just not worth it for him. Liking Aaron Judge,
He's like, Yeah, everyone's expecting me to win, and that's
not necessarily Maybe, uh, I know what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
How you're saying.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
You're saying if Judge, you're saying, if he hits like
like eleven home runs and he's out in the first round,
it's like Aaron Jodge was out in the first loser,
it ruins the mystique, right.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
So maybe there is more mistique.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
But again, I think the Derby's great, no matter well,
because these guys are all hitting bombs. I'm just thinking
baseball at its height right now, which I feel like baseball.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Ratings are up, numbers are up, attendancies up.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Man, they really could put an exclamation point if they said,
the Derby has Judge Orotani or both. Maybe you'll bring
back some old retired stars just to seem hit some
bum if Barry Bonds could get back.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
Be sure to catch the live edition of The Dan
Patrick Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific
on Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio w APP.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
Now we got this guy lined up? Do we have
mister Joey Chestnut on standby waiting to just say hi?
He'll be here in a couple of minutes. I got
some listener questions too, curious to see how he's doing,
how he deals with all the fame. For really, it
must be overwhelming to see all that feedback, to see
all those posts afterward must be quite the thrill because
(23:35):
your your page is flooded with that. But I wonder,
you know what, throw this down there if you if
you want to ask him when you are scrolling through
social media? Does he even like, you know what, when
it's your birthday on social media? How you have like,
you know, thousands of people happy birthday? You know, like
you try to get back to everyone when you win
(23:57):
the hot dog getting contest? Do you think he actually
looks at us social media, absolutely, because every idiot included
the thrill of victory.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Idiot including us that is hung with him, met him,
or took a picture with him, posted and they're like,
there's our guy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
He has to be overwhelmed with the amount of feedback
and you know the people that are talking about him
and about the event, and it's just that one day
and then you know he's back to I don't say
normal life, but yeah, he's He's.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
The biggest star of the day. It's crazy.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Who's more American than Joey Chestnut. I mean he brings
us all together in a time where many people are
not getting along. Now, while we wait for Joey, you
got him spot. Oh yeah, he's entering the room. You
should have like a fanfare for him.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
There he is, Joey Chestnut with glory and renown.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
We welcome back seventeen time hot dog eating champion, the Great,
the Goat, Joey Chestnut.
Speaker 3 (25:00):
Now you Joey, gonna be on with you guys again. Always,
thanks for making men. Always good to see you. First
of all, I gotta ask, how do we feel three
days later? Are we we're back to normal or what
it was? Three days later? Still I don't think.
Speaker 8 (25:13):
I'll ever be normal, but uh, I uh yeah, I
probably feel Yeah, I look pretty rough. I feel pretty
rough still. I uh yeah, yesterday's a long day of travel.
Uh but you know I'm back to my own bed,
got my you know, my dogs, and uh yeah, I'm
starting I'm getting close to normal.
Speaker 2 (25:32):
Joey Kavino and I were just saying, we're curious if
the day of the Hot Dog Eating Championship, those twenty
four hours surrounding the event, are you aware of how
much you trend on social media? Are you watching and
looking at all the memes and the post and every
relish pun intended?
Speaker 8 (25:50):
Yes, no, I uh a little bit, but it's uh
I actually turn off my phone usually worth and I
I it's yeah, kind I'm kind of I get I
get overwhelmed. I'm actually a shy guy, so I don't
look at that stuff too much.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
It's overwhelming for us to see how much coverage you
get for real, Like it's it's a ton of coverage.
Are you ever shocked to see who's talking about you
or tweeting about you?
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Oh the whole time?
Speaker 8 (26:21):
Like, yeah, yesterday I started going through things and see
seeing what was said and I like all the Mounta
Rushmore posts. Those ones are those ones, like, oh my god,
those are embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
You know what we were talking about that before the
dominance that you hold even at your what wasn't your
best right seventy point five, but it was still enough
to win by a landslide, by a lot and still impressive.
But I know you were shooting for eighty. When it
comes to dominance, who else comes to mind for you
growing up? Because there's such a gap between you and
the next guy. Oh, dominance, I said, you and like
(26:54):
Tyson and guys like that. When you think of dominance,
who comes to mind?
Speaker 8 (26:58):
I think of Barry Bonds and he was just unapologetic.
He was there just to be the best that he
could and hit home runs and dominate.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
You look at.
Speaker 8 (27:11):
I mean, everybody says Jordan, but yeah, Jordan, but yeah,
I don't know. It's to compare myself. It's weird to
compare myself to other people. I got super lucky. I
found something that I didn't even know I was going
to be, Like, this was my thing until I was
twenty one years old. Like all the other athletes, anybody
(27:32):
who's a competitor, they knew, like when they were five,
that that's.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
What they were going to be doing.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Well, if you weren't Joey Chestnut, the seven time, seventeen
seventeen time champion, what would you be doing?
Speaker 8 (27:44):
Oh my god, I'd still be working, probably construction management.
I went to school for civil engineering, and I like
seeing things being part of a big, big project. But
I yeah, I don't know what i'd be doing really,
but I'd still be probably eating and drinking for fun
quite a bit.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Let me tell you.
Speaker 2 (28:03):
Seventeen time winner Joey Chess, Now, thanks for the post
fourth of July check in.
Speaker 3 (28:07):
We were thinking about it.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
When you win by such a large margin, you're around
the same age as Lebron James and he's you know,
just playing as as well as he's ever played. You
saw Tom Brady play till he was forty five years old.
When you're winning by again twenty hot dogs, is there
any slowing down? Are you gonna be the one that
walks away eventually? Or can you do this for another
(28:30):
ten plus years? Or is that just too much on
your body?
Speaker 3 (28:33):
Or forty one? Now right?
Speaker 8 (28:35):
Yeah, I'm forty one. The recovery it takes longer. I
remember when I was younger, I'd be bounce bounced back
after two days. It was the body was, Oh my god,
it was. It was amazing. And I these days it
takes a little bit longer, and that's to be expected.
But we'll see. As long as long as I'm still
able to bounce back, eventually, I'll keep doing it.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
And I still love it.
Speaker 8 (29:00):
At that audience out there, we're talking twenty thousand people
New York, it's a it was great to be back.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Yeah, your name not only welcoming you back. You know
what I saw him get this is USO.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Like the walk into the place, like you know how
like they'll show like the NBA players in the tunnel
wading entrance. I saw like the Joey Chestnut, He's arrived,
he's here. That's it's It's really cool how they how
they demonstrated your comeback. And at no point, at no
point did anyone think you weren't going to dominate this.
In fact, is it wild to think that, you know,
(29:32):
so many people were betting on your over under how
many you know people are wagering on how many hot
dogs you win by that's like a thing.
Speaker 8 (29:38):
Now, Yeah, the over under man that that's the painful one.
I A lot a lot of people bet the over
and I feel bad. I'm gonna next year.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
I'm gonna.
Speaker 8 (29:49):
I'm gonna, Yeah, I'm gonna put the work in. I
uh now that it we uh do it's I'm going
to figure it out how to get get get that
to approach that record seventy six. Even though I'm older,
I know there's a way I can do it.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Hey, Joey, Actually I have a listener question that goes
with that. This is from a mercer man who's also
a competitive eater in training. He goes, what do you
think was the reason that the eaters had trouble getting
down the dogs this year? Because numbers? We were talking numbers.
Numbers were sort of down for men and women. Were
the buns stale or more dense, or maybe the dogs
(30:23):
were cooked too much and harder to swallow? Why were
numbers down this year?
Speaker 3 (30:28):
You think it was a little weird.
Speaker 8 (30:30):
Yeah, the I I don't know exactly. The dogs did
taste a little a little different. There's I don't know
if they cooked them ahead of time or what, but
they were a little bit darker all the way around.
I don't know what they if they cooked him on
a grill that was just too.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Hot or something. I don't know.
Speaker 8 (30:51):
It was there was something a little bit different about
the dogs. I know Mickey her numbers were off, like
seventeen hot dogs. So as soon as I saw that
her number was down by so much, I was like, oh,
maybybe there's something off. I was still fast as heck
in the beginning, but I I just I was a
fat man. Towards the end, I slowed down. And that's
(31:14):
all on me.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
It was.
Speaker 2 (31:15):
It wasn't really the dogs.
Speaker 3 (31:16):
So I I next year.
Speaker 8 (31:18):
I just got to come in better shape.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
I think Joey Chestnut hanging with Cavino rich in for
Dan Patrick. Now, most people look at their outlook, their
calendar and oh, I got a work trip, a meeting.
Speaker 3 (31:28):
What's coming up over the next couple of weeks? For you?
What is that? Is there a do you have a
competition on the horizon raid? Right?
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Like?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Did you have a Disney World?
Speaker 2 (31:38):
What's up for Joey chest out? What what are we
eating next? Or are you taking a little time out?
Speaker 8 (31:42):
Now? No, there's a what do I gut? Uh geez,
I think I might have a little bit of time off.
I'm gonna go visit a friend in Alaska at the
end of the month, do some salmon fishing. But yeah,
so I'm taking a little bit of time. Uh, there's
a couple of appearances and there's a minor league baseball game.
I think on the twenty first, I'll be in a Lancing, Michigan. Yeah,
(32:05):
doing something up there. But uh yeah, yeah, I'll be
eating olive burgers.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
That's what any g wants to know. How many salmon
could you eat at once? Yeah? Uh.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
You know, we were talking about Andy Ronnicks saying that
tennis takes more athleticism than any other sport. He was
saying it's the hardest sport to play, and you were
just talking about how tough it is to recover in
your sport. What is the toughest part about your sport
and what you do? Like the biggest misconception maybe.
Speaker 8 (32:33):
Oh, I think the hardest. The biggest thing is that
I have to be fairly healthy. I love to eat,
but when I when I, it's just double edged. Short.
You have to be a big eater naturally, but the
more you eat, the the harder it is to eat
within those ten minutes. So I have to really have
to be somewhat fit and control my eating and going
absolutely empty. So it's it's a lot of it's it's
(32:58):
a lot of contradiction.
Speaker 3 (32:59):
Yeah, you have to be a bit in a mental
bat all the time, like to not overeat. Oh, it's
it's I love to eat.
Speaker 8 (33:07):
Like my biggest thing is like, like I'm I'm still
like fourteen pounds heavier than than when I started the contest,
because all right, I had a couple of beers, had
some beers, I had My recovery after a contest is
supposed to be super high fiber, no carbs, no starches.
But if I started having any of those carbs, the
waight really stays on me.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
Joey.
Speaker 2 (33:29):
One last question you're synonymous with with hot dogs, can
you know? And I always feel like pizza is the
one thing that so easy to overeat if you're if
you're having some drinks, watching a fight night with some
of your buddies, Like, what is a reasonable amount of
pizza you think for a grown man to eat?
Speaker 8 (33:48):
Well, it depends on the pie.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
It depends on the pizzas like New York City style
like eight slice, eight eight slices New York City pie.
Speaker 8 (33:55):
Yeah, yeah, you're you're eating more more than two thirds
of the pot. Yeah, that's six slices is pretty normal.
Speaker 3 (34:04):
Wow, yeah, man, a little more kill free then.
Speaker 8 (34:09):
Yeah. But a lot of people they it's easy football games.
It's like a three hour long thing. You're gonna it's
easy to just lose count. Yeah, and then a lot
of people have parties. But there's multiple where where there's
different boxes open, so it's it's it's easy. I'll go
to a place and there's I'll more than one more
(34:31):
than eight slices, twelve twelve slices probably, but it's a
you just lose count.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
Don't be friends with Joey Chestnut and you're having a party.
You always have to accommodate for this guy.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Little yeah, an.
Speaker 2 (34:41):
Extra part for Yeah, hey Joey, we'll let you go.
I know you're a busy man as you're getting ready
for some downtime.
Speaker 3 (34:49):
Are you big? Are you a football guy?
Speaker 4 (34:50):
Or now?
Speaker 3 (34:51):
I love football?
Speaker 2 (34:52):
Who's your team? Because we're about to do a little
NFL preview? Who's your team?
Speaker 8 (34:57):
I'm living in the n and F, so big time Colts.
I still every year I go to a Buffalo Bills game.
I'm hoping. Uh, I'm always rooting for the Bills a
little bit.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Josh Allen, this could be the year and they're saying
that Daniel Jones could be making an impact in Indianapolis.
So we'll get to all that. Joey, appreciate your time
as man. Congrats again, seventeen time winners. Great to have
you back as many championships as your Lakers.
Speaker 3 (35:22):
Danty look of that. Thank you, Joey, Thank you. Guys,
appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (35:26):
Brother the goat right there, Joey Chestnut just far superior
than anybody else. And by the way, I think his
numbers are a little skewed. Six slices of pizza. You're
a guy vone, as they say, but I think at
four and that's when I'm like, hey, how many did
you have? Because you never want to be the sloppiest guy,
but I do some guy at five you're like, all right, well,
(35:46):
I'm still good. Well, I do feel like Max when
you were a kid, when you were a little kid
and your family would get one pie, one pizza for
the family.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Always had always keep the secret that he ate one
on the way home. He d a whole pie.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Who because I always thought like I had two siblings,
so there were five of us. I'm like, how did
one the math?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
It never meth either. Dad didn't eat in the eighties.
The math wasn't meth.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
And as they say, well Dad ate a whole pie
by himself on the way home and never told anybody.
That might be the trick in itself, not to tell
like a bunch of slobs. But like Danny g I
was saying, how many slices could you have? Like if
we got we could we could only the pine, But
it's how many should you have?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (36:27):
Nowadays I stop after the third piece.
Speaker 2 (36:29):
Yeah, I started at four. I hate myself, so I
could eat the whole thing. But at four us when
I'm like, all right, Max Stout, you couldn't. He said sick.
Speaker 3 (36:37):
But I'm saying, if you wanted or said twelve the night,
if calories didn't matter and health wasn't a thing, you
could easily put down a whole pipe who.
Speaker 4 (36:48):
Put down a medium by yourself? You could eat a
whole pizza easily, easy, easy crust. You could do a
medium by yourself if you're not worried about gaining weight.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
But the trick is this, It's like you know, you
gotta you can't be the worst guy in your crew.
So if the worst guy in your crew had five slices,
you had four, you're good.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
That's that's the that's my rule. Man, Danny, how many
times this? How many wings you have? He's always counting.
I don't want to have most every event, I know
the question is coming, Hey, how many did you have?
Speaker 1 (37:17):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (37:17):
The rule applies for alcohol too. It's like how many
drinks did you have?
Speaker 8 (37:20):
Good?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
Because you're going to be the stupidest by the end
of the night. All right, and keep it always, keep
it a little little less
