I forgot it.

Don't you normally have it over your computer? Hold on, maybe it's my backpack. Because and the show. My deoxygenated brain has made me. You refer to your show, could you? No, I'm here. Okay, I'll refer to mine then. I mean, I'm here to create a good show for them,

not promote my own show. Nothing personal with David Sampson. Yeah. On the Draft Kings network. Pablo promotes his, Pablo Torre finds out every, you know he hangs it over his computer. But see that's the just because other people do things that I believe to be uncouth does not mean that I should. Is this another civil rights movement take? No it's not. It's not.

It has nothing to do with it. They're just saying there's I don't believe he did it is a good defense or anything that I think it's awkward to be out here like promoting your own show. If people wanna find me. If people wanna find me. Featuring me. If people wanna find it, they're gonna find it. Or whatever.

Anyway, let's talk about something that people actually care about, not promoting our shows. So apparently Joey Chestnut drank a gallon of milk in 13 seconds and did not harp. What? Yes, Hampton. That is not accurate. You have that, you have video of Joey Chestnut

drinking a gallon of milk? We're gonna effort that video. It's possible. You don't think so? I was under the impression I've always, maybe it's a boba meister, but I always thought that you could not drink a gallon of milk and not vomit.

That's what I had always been told. And no proof to the contrary has ever existed. I would definitely vomit. I think milk's disgusting Boba Meister, I yeah Something false that people believe to be true. You can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery with the tattoo. That's a Boba Meister An old wives tale. Yeah, it's it's like I just never heard Boba Meister before learn something new every day I It's like an old wives' talk. I just never heard Boatmice that before. Learn something new every day. I believe Joey, same way Pablo thinks it's impossible that you could exist on two hours of sleep, I believe that Joey Chestnut could probably drink.

This man like eats a trillion hot dogs. I think drinking a gallon of milk in 13 seconds is something that he could do. This man is a good businessman. He separated from the world. He was kind of the biggest figure in sports over the last several days, since July 4th. Because he was not there, because of course,

do you guys watch the Hot Dog Eating Contest actually? I do. No, I couldn't watch it. It's so gross. I love the fact, it is so gross. It disgusts me, but I love who chooses when they put the butt in the water, how many they can do at a time,

how many regular dogs they can do in their mouth at once, and it is absolutely disgusting. And I don't understand how they all don't vomit, and I don't understand how professional eaters are not fat. Pablo, I was told that at Sports Illustrated, covering the hot dog eating contest was a thing that, like, everyone had to do at some point when they were young on the job.

Did you ever have to go and cover it? The first interview I ever did at Sports Illustrated as a journalist was Joey Chestnut. Hot dog eating contest. Wow. The literal first article. So your first interview was a champion in their sport. Correct.

And he was a delight. And here he is chugging a gallon of champion in their sport. Correct. Wow. He was a delight. And here he is chugging a gallon of milk in 13 seconds on video. Yeah, so you see, there's no audio here, but you can almost hear it because he is crunching the milk. Carton?

Yeah, the gallon. That's so gross. Wait, is this whole milk? Oh, you think it's 2%? It could be 2%, it could be water. Wait, hold on, yeah, let's get, let's find that label. Let's find that label. It's definitely not whole milk.

I thought whole milk was red. Is that true? Is skim milk? Yeah, whole milk is always red. Either way, it's pretty impressive. I mean, listen, I'm not poo-pooing the fact that he did it. Blue label?

We are seeing 2%. We're seeing 2%. You're poo-pooing, don not poo-pooing the fact that he did it. Blue label, we are seeing 2%. We're seeing 2%. You're poo-pooing, don't poo-poo it. Wow. It's impressive though. So what did you think of the Hot Dog contest in person, Pablo? I heard it's a terrible assignment, because you basically spend the fourth at Coney Island

without doing anything. It was so hot. You're in a crowd of people, and you get backsplash. Like boxing referees who get blood sometimes, or boxing journalists will get blood, like the boxing referee in the ring, I'll get blood splashed around. You get hot dog parts.

Where are you positioned as a journalist? You get great seats. I mean, you can choose to be right in front. There's no like press row at the hot dog eating conference. So why would you position yourself in a place where you're getting back splash? Because it was the first assignment I'd ever taken. I had not done a scouting report

on what exactly happens here. When Eric Badlands Booker may have what they call a reversal of fortune in the world of hot dog eating. Which is what that guy did with the lemonade that started off one of the weirdest four hour runs of anything I've ever done today. Today or any day? I mean, it's hard to tell.

So Joey Chestnut did not perform. He had a fight with the management. A business story, a sports business story. A great sports business story. He went out on his own and he did it. What, do you blame Nathan's for banning him because he had signed this deal with like Impossible Foods? You have to have a strategy and you have to stick to it

and sometimes it's painful, but you cannot support, hey Jordan covered up the night, the Reebok on his sweatsuit, he put the flag over it. I mean there's just certain things you cannot do. When you're in the hot dog eating contest and you're getting money. Kobayashi also previously did that and was banned. So it's not like he didn't know

what was potentially gonna happen to him. Also, the entire broadcast was just talking about Joey Chestnut regardless. So he wasn't there, but they spent like, it was almost like an obituary for him. Jeremy Schaap was announcing it. That was crazy. Which was my favorite part.

I didn't understand how Jeremy Schaap ended up with that assignment. And then when they did the Joey Chestnut obituary for him, who's very much still alive, I was like, maybe this is why Jeremy Schaap is here, just for this one piece, and then he continued throughout the entire tournament. It gets great ratings.

This is not a small little. Yeah, Major League Baseball seeded July 4th to the Nathan's hot dog eating contest. Not purposefully. But so he ended up eating, he would have won Nathan's again. He ate more hot dogs than the winner of Nathan's in only five minutes.

He ate 57, beating actual servicemen and women from the United States military in 57, by a score of 57 hot dogs in five minutes. So it's brilliant business what he did. I mean, back to the LeBron James story if you want it to be. They allowed their whole industry to be built on the back of one star, rather than fully compensating him for a value,

they chose not to, and he took his talents to South Beach, or wherever they did that, to military base. You know, this is the 14 year anniversary of that. Worst day of my professional life. Best day of your life's year. The decision? I believe it was July 8th, 2010.

I think you're right. When the Marlins lost 10 to four to the Diamondbacks and I was in the elevator when I heard what LeBron had done and I knew my career had changed that day. You said, I need to fire even more bad boys. Exactly. Howdy y'all, it's Mike. And since the dawn of mankind, we've cooked our food over in open flame and debated the best way to grill.

One thing that is not up for debate, grilling and beer always go together.
