By the way, No, you don't want to do that.

No, no, but down there, you know Coney Island, the
Nathan hot Dog is world famous and.

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Every year look forward to it every year.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
And you're the guy who looks forward to because Joey
Chestnut he did it again. He won for like the
eight hundredth time of the hot dog eating Contest, which
is the most overrated thing that And I want you
to know, Alan, I'm a hot dog connoisseur. You noticed
you once interviewed me on Fox two News in Detroit
because I owned a hot dog stand right a storefront

(03:02):
called All Star Dogs on seven Mile Road. The best
hot dogs in Detroit and Detroit they call them Coney's
and they're not that good.

Speaker 6 (03:10):
Okay, wow, I did not that. Put the chili on
there and get the work you got. Well, you have
to cover up. You have to cover up the taste
of the dog with the chili after disguise it right,
all right? But the sobretta, you had one of them.
Remember that.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Beef the natural casing, so when you bite it is snaps.
It is absolutely with the uh uh, the spicy brown mustard,
the red onion sauce that comes out.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
Of the You should be able to see the look on.

Speaker 1 (03:41):
I'm just telling you, like, I love hot dogs in
that you know, like, but but there are a couple
of no no's when it comes to hot dogging. So
want I want to hear people like gotta ben beef
hot dog?

Speaker 5 (03:54):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (03:55):
Out in La, everybody Ransom raids about the Dodger dog.
It's a me hot dog. You know what that means.
They take all the scraps of what's left over and
the butcher shop and they made hot dog.

Speaker 5 (04:06):
It's a great promotional tool.

Speaker 4 (04:07):
And a lot of times there's rat hair in it
as well. Wow, wow, Wow.

Speaker 5 (04:13):
I'm not gonna go that far, you know.

Speaker 6 (04:15):
Goodness all right, maybe not, but they just put all
the scraps in there, right, Alan, doesn't your hot dog
have to be beef?

Speaker 5 (04:22):
You don't want to know what's in most hot dogs anyway?

Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, but I mean, but it has to be beef,
doesn't it. And you eat a chicken hot dog?

Speaker 5 (04:27):
No, I tried that. It does not taste s.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
Gross, Alex, what do you eat two to fool hot dogs?

Speaker 5 (04:34):
I mean you're funny.

Speaker 4 (04:35):
What do you what do you eat hot dogs?

Speaker 5 (04:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (04:38):
You see them plentyful. I used to like the one
hundred percent beef ones as well.

Speaker 4 (04:41):
You gotta eat the beef, right, It's.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
The only way to do it. It's like a cheese steak.
You gonna have a chicken cheese steak.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
No way, No Brandon hot dogs, one beef correct. Yeah
that's fine, But I'm more Italian.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
I like sausage. Yeah, Italian sausage right, yeah, wrong with that.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
But but here's my issue with Joey Chestnut. Oh it
is gross to watch this guy dunk a hot dog
in a bun, in a cup of water and inhale it.
There's no condiments, there's nothing on it. How you can't
even taste it. It must taste like a soggy, wet

(05:18):
towel to down a hot dog.

Speaker 8 (05:21):
All.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
I watched this so much every year that that was
the first time I ever learned what a reversal was.

Speaker 4 (05:26):
What what?

Speaker 5 (05:26):
What is this? A reversal? When the hot dog comes
it comes back? You don't they show it? Oh? Come on,
he was right there. Reversal. You can't keep it down,
so it comes back up and that gets taken off
the tally too.

Speaker 4 (05:37):
So is it hold a hole of partially? Oh, it's ugly,
but it's a reversal. Family I'm just saying that, Come on, man, Nathan's.

Speaker 5 (05:51):
Hot dog eating context is a it is. It is
an American tradition.

Speaker 4 (05:55):
It was love it but it was fun until he
won every every year? How was that fun?

Speaker 5 (06:02):
But dynasty? But listen how many times Tom Brady?

Speaker 9 (06:05):
Right?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Exactly? But and he cheats like Tom? Oh wow?

Speaker 5 (06:09):
How does he cheat?

Speaker 1 (06:11):
I'm just trying to figure out how many years in
the rows he Wont you watched it today?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
How is this eight?

Speaker 10 (06:16):
Or nine?

Speaker 5 (06:17):
Like it's nine? Listen, man, when he beat the great Kobeyashi,
Oh yeah, to take the time. Everybody was into that
and to watch that competition because it was close and
it was fantastic. Listen, somebody's gonna come up and beat it.
Because if you notice, he's kind of slowing down a
little bit.

Speaker 1 (06:32):
The over under you're ready was seventy two and a half.
Seventy two and a half hot dogs and he ate
sixty three?

Speaker 4 (06:41):
How gross is that?

Speaker 5 (06:42):
But now, see, are you hating on Joey Chestnut? Let's
take this in real sports terms? Can you hate on
him because he has no competition? His greatness is.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
What it is and nobody stepped up yet.

Speaker 1 (06:54):
I just enough with the Joey chest Now, can we
get this is the kind of hot dog getting contest?

Speaker 4 (06:59):
I would like to, but I'm gonna tell you.

Speaker 5 (07:01):
Okay, what makes this whole thing though, is not so
much even Joey Chestnut. The star of Nathan's famous hot
dog eating contest is the host, George. She is a
phenomenal MC.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
He's a hot dog on the stage.

Speaker 5 (07:14):
His introductions and his flair is really one of the
big reasons why you watch.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
Okay, I just I'm at the point now where Alice,
do you watch it?

Speaker 4 (07:24):
Have you seen this?

Speaker 1 (07:26):
I refuse to right and to dip the hot dog
discuss disgusting. He's not dipping it in it mustard or
red onion sauce.

Speaker 4 (07:37):
Some of some of them dip it in fruit punch
or lemonade, which is gross. I don't even get it.
I'm serious, And I just said.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
I owned a hot dogs spot in Detroit called All
Star Dogs the best one hundred percent beef hot dogs.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
And this is really what we want to get into
an askle question.

Speaker 1 (08:00):
So when you go to Yankee Stadium, they sell you
three different brands of hot dogs. That's how big hot
dogs are in New York you've been in New York,
hot dog trucks are on every other corner and it's
in Manhattan. So bred hot dogs are the ones that
snap with the natural casing. Then you have Nathan's made
famous right Code Island Nathan's, And then you have Hebrew

(08:22):
National because we have to answer to even.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
A higher authority.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Right that was always the commercial for Hebrew National, right
which your kosher hot dogs blessed by the rabbi or
uh So those in New York are the three biggest,
not ballpark Franks, not A and P or Kroger brand
franks or whatever.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Out here?

Speaker 1 (08:43):
What do they call them? What are the pink sells them?
What are the ones out here?

Speaker 11 (08:48):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (08:48):
Wow, pinks are good hot dogs.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Yeah, but they've the brand that they just forgot it.
It's in natural casing. Uh but they're really good. Bring
up pinks, man, you want to go through the pink Yeah? Yeah, no,
but they're good out here. But I'm going to say,
out of the three that I grew up, eatiot right,
Hebrew National, Subreads, and Nathan Okay, hands down, it's Subreads

(09:13):
one hundred percent beef natural casing. The flavor is out
of this world I've had those things shipped to me
all over where I've lived. No other hot dog that
I paid twenty two dollars shipping costs for hot dogs.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
Do you know what the brand is? Haffy Haffey. That's it.
That's what Pink sells, Haffey. And they're in the natural casing.

Speaker 5 (09:37):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (09:37):
So they're really good, Okay, but they're not soprissed. What
about you? What's the best from Chicago? So I love
a Chicago hot dog. Well, they put everything on it
to cover up the taste. Tomatoes, onions, Okay, what is?

Speaker 5 (09:48):
You cannot get that relish in the grocery store. You
can't meet Chicago RELEGI can't buy it in a grocery store. Really,
I can't find it anywhere. You cannot buy it in
any major grocery store that I know of. I love
my Chicago high all that good stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Not to Vienna.

Speaker 1 (10:01):
But it's beef though, right, and they got the cessand
what I got the black seeds on it. It's not
sesame seed one of those I think it is, though,
the black seeds, I think it is onions.

Speaker 4 (10:13):
That's the poppy seed. Bunt love much Cogo hot dog
all right, Alex, when you were eating hot dog.

Speaker 7 (10:21):
Many moons ago, going back when I was on my chariots.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
Yes, but back when Santha used to come down to Jim.

Speaker 5 (10:27):
Yes, I think he still does once in a while.
I don't know. I would have to say it's subrettes too.

Speaker 7 (10:31):
So bread, hands down, you cannot get a better tasting
hot dog, as you said, with natural casing. But it's
also like it's it tastes like they actually cared about
making a good hot dog.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I'm one hundred percent for people have never tried some bread, Alex.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Your spottle crazy to me. It tastes so good.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
And when I open this place in Detroit, remember there's
nothing but Cooni's all over the place. People were coming
because it was a different taste that they had never have.
And if you've ever had a meat for I don't
even know how like a meat Frank tastes like hot
ballooney roll dog, That's what it tastes like, Brandon, what
about you, the best hot dog that you've had, as
far as you know, taste of flavor you would recommend.

Speaker 4 (11:13):
I don't know, probably just like a regular Chicago dog. Regular,
But does it have to be beef or not. I
don't think it matters to me, so it doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
So I had the Dodger Dog when I first came
out to La. Right, all right, let me try this.
This is all they talk about it. And your reason
you had is because of the promotion. You heard so
much about it, right.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
Right, Dodger dog. Gotta have a Dodger Dog. I mean
I was like I had reflex. I had to have
a dude. Unbelievable. You want to know.

Speaker 7 (11:48):
It's a secret, really good hot dog. If anybody wants
to try something a little bit different, it's all natural.
It's called the Applegate Farms uncured beef hot dog. You
should really try that one time. It's a it's like
one of those ones that's only for like the boogie
of farmer markets.

Speaker 5 (12:03):
Right.

Speaker 7 (12:04):
But I'm telling you, Rob, if you ever make yourself
have some fun for weekend, tell me it's not one
of the top ten.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
Okay, I will, I will have to try that.

Speaker 1 (12:11):

Speaker 4 (12:27):
What brand?

Speaker 1 (12:28):
Does it have to be beef? Do you eat the
ones that are just pork? Do you eat the ones
that are mixed with pork, chicken and beef? Does it
matter to you? Do you not eat hot dogs? Do
you think they're the most disgusting thing? Ever?

Speaker 4 (12:40):

but when it's guaranteed for me to have a hot dog.
Or those carts outside of Staples Center, the Coliseum, Sofi
Stadium for the All Star Game last year in LA,
they had hot dog carts everywhere and I think I
probably had a good three or four of them. The
bacon wrapped you get everything, all the onions, the peppers,
everything on them.

Speaker 16 (21:01):
The best top dogs in the world world. Okay, Morrison's
drive in in southern West Virginia. They're a mixture, so
it's you know, it's it's the beef and the pork
mixed together. Usually you know, a local you know meat
grinder will make it for them and it's just a

(21:22):
great flavor consistency, and after you eat it, it just makes
you want to go.

Are people chiming in with the plant based uh hot dogs?

Speaker 7 (21:41):
Absolutely so, Rob, I'd be doing an injustice to the
plant based society by not shouting out the field roast
signature stadium dogs. So I Rob, I would say this.
If I put you on a blind tester and gave
you five different hot dogs and mix this one in it,
bet you wouldn't tell the different I swear I want
to be here for that one. It's incredible. I tried
it with a couple. Nobody knew it was different. Really,

you're nine or ten years all and of course I
had twelve hot dogs.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
You know you missed your future. You could have been

I'm sorry.

Speaker 17 (25:22):
We got business of handles here we go. Bro, the NBA,

The league is planning to debut it's new quote in
game flopping rule at Vegas Summer League. Rob pulling or rolling?
The league doing more to stop flopping.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
I'm rolling with it. The me you could just eliminate it.

Speaker 1 (25:46):
Sometimes it's enough, you know, when guys flopping, it just
it just takes away from the game. If there's a foul,
there's a foul. So I'm anything to stop that nonsense.
I'm with it, right, I mean good, yeah, I'm I'm

In the league and an eating.

Speaker 17 (26:18):
There's been plenty of hype around this year's rookie class,
but there may be a surprise in the Rookie of
the Year vote.

Speaker 10 (26:24):
Ched Holmgren missed his whole rookie year.

Speaker 15 (26:27):
Maybe he spent that time doing hot targeting contest because
his weight.

Speaker 17 (26:30):
Apparently went up to a whopping two hundred and eight
pounds from trolling or rolling.

Speaker 4 (26:40):
Way manute your phone cut out. This is unbelievable. Hello,

Speaker 4 (27:03):
You know who they want to be Rookie of the Year.

Speaker 5 (27:05):
Yeah, yeah, right, it's Homewards, a heck of player. It's
gonna be interesting. But you know, he but he was skinny,
really thin, like no I know, you know, but I'm
just saying they're talking about that guy being like like
one of the all time greatest players ever.

Speaker 4 (27:20):
Like, trust me, they want him.

Speaker 1 (27:22):
To be Rookie of the Year, it would be weirdly
step trolling a rolling.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Oh Many.

Speaker 15 (27:34):

especially as he plays for the organization that created load manage.

years old? I mean, stop it? Oh my goodness, Hey.

Speaker 15 (27:50):

your second shot until five minutes left in the fourth quarter.
Ron trolling or rolling Brandon Miller is gonna be a bust.

Speaker 4 (28:21):

Yeah.

Speaker 4 (30:08):
What does this mean for Otani?

Speaker 1 (30:09):
The Angels, all that kind of stuff will be interesting,
uh going forward, but we'll talk about the Angels in
their predicament with Mike Trout will not be at the
All Star Game. It's just unbelievable how often this guy's
been hurt and uh, that and much more. It is
the odd couple on Fox Sports Radio.

(31:23):
to you live from the tire rack dot com studios,
Rob Parker and Allen Lee and for Chris Boussard. Chris
will be back. He worked on Monday, that was a
company holiday. iHeartRadio, but he was off today and he'll
be back tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (31:39):
Allan.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Always a pleasure of having you sit in What was
nice to get to call fun show today?

Speaker 4 (31:44):
Definitely.

Speaker 1 (31:45):
But one last thing not fond of you an Angels fan,
is Mike Trout Hurt Kevin, what do you? What's exactly
did he did he bust Let's get to kill?

Speaker 8 (31:56):
Was his left wrist. He had a break in one
of the boat there and I heard someone talk about
earlier that was a similar injury Ken Griffy had back
in Seattle and he was out for much of the season.
They're optimistic that Mike Trout can be back a month
or two. I mean, we'll see him luck with that, yeah, exactly,
with a broken bone. Having to swing the bat the

(32:18):
way he does one of two months seems to be
incredibly optuous.

Speaker 4 (32:22):
Hand write a hand bone, right, yeah, ham bone.

Speaker 8 (32:26):
So that just makes swinging the bat incredibly difficult. And
I got to imagine that it really changes the equation
and whether the Angels are going to be willing to
deal show Hey o Tani at the deadline.

Speaker 1 (32:36):
Well, that's the big thing Alan and I were talking about,
is you know you hate that just to have to
give up the guy. But now, no, Trout, if you're
not gonna make the playoffs, can you allow him just
to walk walk?

Speaker 13 (32:52):
Right?

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Like to me, what I would do is I would
go into his people and say, we're gonna sign you
to six hundred million dollars. If he says no, I'm
trading him the next stay right, Like, that's all you
can do because because if he won't take six hundred
million now, he ain't gonna take it at the end
of the season, right what, So either either you're putting
up the money Allen, right, or you're gonna let him walk.

Speaker 5 (33:14):
I don't think he's gonna stay. I think he's you know,
he's his gun is. He's a very professional player in
the way he handles and treats himself. But I think
he's going to say, you know what, I've been here
long enough. We haven't won. We're not gonna win. Guys
aren't getting any younger that you are surrounding me with,
and that unforceund with a trial. This is like the
third year row he's been hurt. I think, uh, is

(33:35):
that right, Kevin? Can you check that for a faith?
I think it's like the third year in row he's
been hurt.

Speaker 4 (33:38):
He's been hurt a lot much goodness.

Speaker 5 (33:41):
I just don't think Otani probably feels like there's much
future here in terms of winning consistently, and he wants
to get into the postseas him being and would probably
really even hurt was him being in the World Baseball
Classic because he got a taste of what that's like
on the big stage.

Speaker 1 (33:58):
And you remember the final game against the United States
drew like one hundred and thirty million viewers in Japan.
That and Alan you were talking about we were just
talking about signing him or whatever. Yeah, there's money to
be made by having an international star with so many
Japanese people.

Speaker 4 (34:16):
He love baseball.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
Exactly if you break the record, and it's going to
sound crazy, if you're paying Otani sixty million dollars a year,
you have a smart marketing team a in a major market.
The first people I go to is the marketing department
and I go, how much money are we likely to
make off of Otani worldwide? And if my marketing department
comes back and says, well, we're easily going to make

(34:40):
a return of thirty million dollars or more, then you
look at that it's going, well, I'm really only going
to be paying him thirty million dollars right right, you know,
because we're making the rest.

Speaker 1 (34:49):
Back and increase TV revenue, right like that, like TV
waitings all kinds of other stuff.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Tickets become a premium.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
You're watching somebody who's never done exactly, you know, you
have never seen before. There's a lot of I know,
people just shake their head and they can't believe we're
gonna pay one guy six hundred million or five hundred
million dollars, but they.

Speaker 4 (35:12):
Offered Juan Soto for forty Kevin, you got some.

Speaker 8 (35:17):
Mike Trout has had injuries going back at least to
twenty eighteen. I seem to shake the injury bug in
that shortened twenty twenty campaign, but he's had nagging injuries.
He missed time last year twenty twenty one, and I'm
just reading an article. I missed thirty nine games in
twenty seventeen, nineteen games in twenty eighteen, nineteen and twenty nineteen.
He missed around eight weeks in twenty twenty one. The

(35:40):
last half a decade for Mike Trout, after the sensational
start to his career, has been really a nired with injuries.

Speaker 4 (35:45):
Yeah it is.

Speaker 1 (35:46):
And at one time you remember Alan like they were
ranting and raving about him in his ward He's going
to be the greatest player I ever played. And they
don't even mention Mike Trout anymore, right, compared to the
Joe Demaijos, You know all that. That's why, That's why
whenever people get on me, because I'm not like on
the bandwagon for Ellie da la Cruz. Not that I

(36:09):
don't think he's a great player, young player, but stop
crowning people too early. Do you remember your Yasio Puig.
Don't tell me that he didn't have a great start.

Speaker 4 (36:18):
To his career. Didn't start wildhorse.

Speaker 1 (36:20):
Wow, this dude was amazing. He had an unbelievable arm.
He was throwing people out from the warning tribe.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
Built like a linebacker.

Speaker 5 (36:27):
Yeah, he was.

Speaker 4 (36:28):
An incredible player, fast, all that other stuff.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
And I'm just saying, like, you got to play a
long time before somebody can. Really, it's a long game, guys,
play eighteen twenty years in the big league exactly.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
Yeah, it's it's you know, heck, the shortstop for the
Pirates cruise got hurt is O'Neill cou Yeah, right, and
he is a heck of a prospect, but you know,
you gotta play, You gotta play.

Speaker 4 (36:51):
It's it's a long ride.

Speaker 1 (36:52):
But anyway, bad news for the Angels and Mike Trump
just just unfortunate.

Speaker 4 (36:57):
And something tells me he's going to be just fine.

Speaker 5 (37:00):
He's going to land on his feet, just good. All right.

Speaker 4 (37:03):
His name is Alan Lee.

Speaker 5 (37:06):
Always a pleasure, Thank you, Rob, Always the pleasure to
sit here with you, buddy, We'll do it again. And
the great staff behind the scenes, oh.

Speaker 1 (37:12):
Yeah, everybody, Brandon, great job, Kevin, thank you, alex As
always on the holiday.

Speaker 4 (37:17):
Me and Alex, my blood brothers.

Speaker 1 (37:20):

about it, all right, uh, Jason Smith, Mike Harmon, their
show is up next, Chris Plank and Arnie Span.
