00:00
Tomorrow is the 4th of July.
00:05
When you think of Independence Day, what comes to mind?
00:09
Fireworks.
00:10
Family.
00:11
Will Smith.
00:12
Summer.
00:13
America.
00:14
Oh, I get that as well.
00:15
Independence Day.
00:16
Good job there, DRS.
00:17
You kind of ruined my intro, though, where I was going to finish with hot dogs, and Donny
00:22
Rightside gave you the keys for your grill out tomorrow.
00:27
Potato buns.
00:28
Not the crappy, crusty, white stuff.
00:31
Potato buns.
00:32
Don't do it.
00:33
That is the key.
00:34
But, Donny, when you often think of hot dogs on the 4th of July, you probably think of
00:39
one man known as Jaws hoisting a mustard belt at the corner of Surf and Stillwell on Coney
00:46
Island in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
00:49
That's the 16-time champ, the greatest to ever do it, Joey Chestnut.
00:54
Of course, over the last month, the drama that has surrounded Chestnut, who is not
00:58
going to compete in the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest tomorrow because of a partnership
01:04
with Impossible Foods.
01:06
Plant-based, vegan dogs won't eat what Nathan's Famous is providing.
01:12
He will not be there tomorrow, and Donny Rightside is devastated.
01:16
A guy that sets his calendar each and every year to the 4th of July, sets his alarm so
01:20
that whatever he is doing around noon Eastern time, he is in front of his TV to watch the
01:26
hot dog eating contest, will have a big hole in his heart tomorrow, DRS, I would only assume.
01:32
Yep.
01:33
There will be a big hole in my heart, and who knows who's going to win it and what the
01:36
final tallies will be, but I'm pretty sure we'll give a good synopsis of who some of
01:40
those winners might have.
01:41
But again, this is a chance that we can get back to what it was supposed to be.
01:45
A hot dog, a bun, you eat it as one.
01:48
Say it with me, Ben.
01:49
A hot dog and a bun and you eat it as one.
01:51
A hot dog and a bun, you eat it as one.
01:53
Exactly, don't separate them.
01:54
A hot dog and a bun, you eat it as one.
01:58
See that?
01:59
Did you know?
02:00
Okay, ready?
02:01
Three, two, one.
02:02
A hot dog and a bun, you eat it as one.
02:10
I actually forgot what the saying was.
02:13
Yeah, even though it's your segment, that you came up with.
02:16
Your saying.
02:17
Listen, that's the delay when we do things virtually.
02:19
In studio like we were last Thursday, that would have hit really, really hard.
02:25
DRS, although we don't have, although this has been a fun show today.
02:31
Although we don't have the goat on the men's side, the goat on the women's side in terms
02:36
of competitive eating, Mikey Sudow is there seeking her 10th mustard belt.
02:41
She holds the record.
02:42
48 and a half hot dogs consumed at the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
02:48
There are no odds out just yet on our lovely FanDuel Sportsbook for this year's hot dog
02:55
eating contest.
02:56
Oh, man.
02:57
Yeah, I don't know.
02:58
I read one of those names a little bit too quickly here that was on that graphic, so
03:02
it just made me chuckle for a moment to see who was actually going to be in this contest.
03:05
Yeah, I got an idea.
03:07
I got an idea.
03:08
Oh, well, man.
03:09
I got an idea of what name that was.
03:13
Yeah, it was probably number two.
03:15
No.
03:16
Went a little bit.
03:17
Yeah.
03:18
Went a little bit to see that.
03:19
Yeah.
03:20
No, it was the number two guy up there.
03:21
My goodness.
03:22
Yeah, it was Jeffrey Esper.
03:23
I would assume the runner up the last three years have to assume he's going to be the
03:29
favorite this year.
03:30
Gideon OG, six foot nine to twenty four.
03:35
Yeah, somebody.
03:36
Yeah.
03:37
Somebody give that brother some shoulder pads.
03:38
Let's get him out there on an offensive line after he beefs up with some hot dogs tomorrow.
03:44
But what goes down there?
03:46
Five, five.
03:47
Tremendous.
03:48
Look at that card out there.
03:49
B double s.
03:50
I think this is five.
03:51
Got hidden names all over that.
03:53
That might says five, five, five, one hundred and fifty five, five, five, five into an A.
03:58
You know what I mean?
03:59
About fifty five.
04:00
So there we go.
04:01
Wait a minute.
04:02
Brandon.
04:03
Who is the favorite for the air?
04:04
Who is the favorite for this, though?
04:06
Like, who do we expect to win this?
04:07
Who's supposed to be in it?
04:09
My guess would be the guy known as Jeffrey.
04:13
That would be no way.
04:14
No way.
04:15
Are we going back?
04:18
What is this show?
04:19
What is on?
04:20
I like it.
04:21
I got a little montage right now.
04:22
Little ridders.
04:23
They got the belt right there.
04:24
But that is a quality shortage.
04:25
The mustard belt.
04:26
It is.
04:27
Let's see what we got.
04:28
You're hot.
04:29
The mustard belt is fantastic.
04:30
What is the national labor shortage in there?
04:31
What was that about?
04:32
What was the national labor shortage in there?
04:34
Go back to that first one.
04:36
What was that about?
04:37
Put it back.
04:38
Put it back.
04:39
It's the second image.
04:40
Is that really what?
04:41
Yeah.
04:42
Start that part about again.
04:43
Hold on.
04:44
I might not have been paying attention the way I should have.
04:45
It's the second image.
04:46
Here we go.
04:47
Not this one.
04:48
All right.
04:49
Here we go.
04:50
I'm blocking one.
04:51
Five cents, I get it.
04:52
Look, man, there is a labor shortage going around, from what I understand.
04:59
So maybe it is.
05:00
You know, oh, well, there you go.
05:02
Hot dogs, national labor shortage, ready to go at this point.
05:07
That was a good statement.
05:08
Let's do it, man.
