This is an IHeart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hey guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess what? We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.

We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it. But, you know, tired and sick. Tired and sick.

So pumped. And we're pumped for our next guest, guys. Again, Kavino and Rich broadcasting live from the Fox

Sports Radio Studio. And when you only have two hours of greatness, you only make time for the goats. That's how I look at it. Hey, and by the way, we are streaming this all live on the Fox Sports Radio YouTube page, the YouTube channel. Let's welcome the goat. He announced his major return to the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Joey Chesnut, everybody. There he is our guy. What's up, Joey? Good to see you guys again. Good to see you always, man. Hell yeah. So huge announcement. And that's why we brought you here. He's back 16-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champion going for 17. He holds an eight-year winning streak from 07 to 14.

He holds the record with 76 hot dogs in, what, 10 minutes? I look at all the championship belts behind you. Joey, first of all, got to ask. Well, first of all, good to see you. Second of all, how easy was this to get done? Because we talked last year, it didn't end up the way we wanted. It absolutely didn't end the way we wanted to or expected. But it's been a little bit of work.

But it's, yeah, we took some communicating. And last year, communication broke down. And we all kind of, good things don't happen when you're not talking. So this year, I saw you right around the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah. It's, man, like almost immediately after that, we started really talking. And it just took a while to get for them to be comfortable with the things that I, that were, bothered him last year and for me to

you know if we had to meet in the middle what was the hurdle man what was the issue that you guys had to overcome there was that issue with the plant based food so they we ended up making a deal where you know what I I can still do

meatless Mondays and promote another brand but I'm I'm gonna be to it I've always been dude I yeah Nathan's hot dogs are 100% the only hot dogs I was promoting So there's not going to be any confusion. I'm not going to work with.

I never wanted to eat plant-based hot dogs on the 4th of July. So we just clarified some things. And we, yeah, dude, I'm back. Well, the competition, yeah, he's so back. The competition needs you. Last year, Patrick Bertoletti won in your absence. Is he any threat this year? I think he had about 58 last year.

Any threat to you? And what's your view on him? Oh, he's a good guy. from Chicago. I've known him since, man, he just turned 40. I'm 41. So we've known each for the years. But my biggest competitor is some crazy guy. And he's, it's me. If I get in my own head, make mistakes. But if I, if I'm doing everything right, I can, I'm going to annihilate everybody. It's going to be, it's going to be, yeah. He's a good guy, but you're going to annihilate. Beautiful chaos. By the way, is he, you got to imagine.

Is Patrick mad that you're coming back? No, we're competitive leaders. If we're getting on a big stage, we want to compete against the best. So he felt like he did win. He earned that win. He got a personal best last year. But he wants to compete against me. And he's not mad at all.

We're going to be pushing each other hard. Joey Chestnut here on Kavino-Ritch, Fox Sports Radio. Joey, you're allowed to brag if it's true. So let me ask you, are you more important to hot dog eating than Caitlin Clark is to the WMBA? Because when big stars aren't part of it, it seems to, like you saw the WMBA, ratings, attendance when she was out for a few weeks? Joey Chestnut. What do you think? Caitlin Clark, have you met her?

She is amazing. Yeah. Dude, I'm, I'm, yeah, I'm nothing fair to her. She really is amazing. And then I'm not bigger than hot dogs. People were still eating hot dogs on 4th of July. I was eating hot dogs last year, even though I was in at Coney Island. But, you know, this is Nathan's hot dogs, Fourth of July, I'm happy to be back.

Joey, where do you meet Caitlin Clark? How does that happen? Like, a conference of the goats? Like, what's going on? Where do you interact with Caitlin Clark? At a minor league baseball game in Indiana. And she was there, too. And the people from the stadium said, hey, she's in the suite next to you.

You want to go say hi? Like, she's absolutely, she's amazing. She's the best. I like the other story better. It's you, Caitlin, you're on a room, Michael Jordan, Mike Tyson, all the goats. Yeah, just hanging out as a goat conference. I like that story. What's a bigger comeback?

Again, the headline. I'm back. I think I heard Jordan say that, right? Yeah, I believe so. But Joey Chestnut has also said he's back. So what's the bigger comeback or headline tonight? Your comeback, show hay's comeback, Stanton, or NBA Game 5? Because you're all over the news today.

you know what tonight i'm going for the comeback i want i want i want the pacers to get the win tonight that'd be pretty awesome uh this is uh this was bound to happen i'm just happy we did it and now i now i just got to eat some hot dogs yo joey i'm not even bsing you is there is there a party that feels like in a country where everyone's at odds politically everyone argues is there something about you being back that everyone could be like that's awesome like do you realize that there's probably a part of that that everyone's sort of pumped about. It sounds ridiculous, but I feel that. It's weird. Yeah, I know hot dogs. I don't know politics, but it definitely feels like the people who follow me are from every corner of America, and I'm very happy. Well, yeah,

there's nothing more American. And you're the face of it. And to back Rich's point, last year, not to take anything away from what Patrick did last year, but it just wasn't the same. There was a void there, and it didn't unite people the way it normally does. I didn't hear much of a buzz about it other than did you hear who won because Joey wasn't there. And I say that respectfully. So I think it does bring some fun excitement where the country needs it, to be honest. Yeah, Pat, I think if there's something on TV and it's a sport, people want to see the best in the world. And Pat's awesome.

But on the 4th of July, celebrating America, we want to see somebody go for. record and I'm I'm going to be doing it. I have a listener question from Mercer in Pittsburgh says the first time Joey Chestnut got to Coney Island he ate 32 hot dogs. Is that a fact? So you went from 32 to what 76? Yeah that's an absolute fact. That even that year I remember my first practice that year. I only did 16 in practice. And so it's just slowly building my tolerance and just making my body get comfortable being uncomfortable and that that's the way i push it he says as an aspiring eater who ate 17 and a half in his first try i'd like to know how exciting it is to get the call to be able to compete the first time and how it compares to being asked to come back again oh it's amazing

it's uh you know the first the first time i i went to coney island i was i was literally a table ender the the we call them the table enders the people who have the lowest qualifiers and i uh i i I was so nervous. I went there. I was wearing Levi's. A table lender. I didn't, I didn't give it that much thought at the time.

But now it's, yeah, it's, it's an amazing stage on the 4th of July. So a table lender is like the weak link of the table. Is that what that is kind of? I mean, you made it,

but you're sort of the weakest guy. So that would be me when we're out to dinner and I order a steak well done, right? Yeah, he's the table lender. Yeah, that's like a debate where the people

that don't have a chance are always like the end, you know? It's sort of like that. Either the tableenders or we call it the kitty table. Yeah, where they put the kids. Right. I got to ask Joey Chestnut hanging out on Kavino Rich.

He's back 4th of July. Nothing more American than hot dogs with Joey Chestnut. Everybody's pumps. It's a big story today. I saw one of our pals on the Dan Patrick show. One of the behind the scenes guys did that 9-99 challenge at a ball game. Is that amateur? Do you think that's awesome that people are trying to do nine hot dogs,

nine beers in nine innings? What's your take on that? It's amazing. I've been doing it. I came close to doing it at 20, 27, 27 and 9. But, yeah, nine is a, it's, I think most real adults can do them and do it. The 999? Yeah, it's definitely, especially these days, they'll serve the beers and cans.

It's not even full pints. So it's definitely doable. Now, before we get your prediction, Joey Chestnut, we've heard the rumors or maybe a scientific fact. I don't know that you lose, so at 30 minutes of life for every hot. dog. Have you ever thought about that? Is there any truth to that? Because you've been eaten, you've been taken back a lot for years now. It wasn't 30 minutes. I think somebody said it was like maybe two minutes. And so if you calculate, I've ran the numbers. And maybe it's like five years I've taken off. And you know what? But for the glory.

It's worth it. I'm good time, not a long time. All right. Hey, I like it. Hey, Joey, as people get ready for the fourth in a couple weeks, is throwing hot dogs on the barbecue on the grill the best way? Or are you a boiled hot guy if you had to pick your preference is this a joke really i mean i got to ask the great come on dude boiled hot dogs they're almost criminal it's uh it and

you know so for a long long time ago i was i was given Costco a hard time about there are hot dogs and say actually we don't boil them we steam them so it boiling is even worse than steaming it's but yeah it's uh dude yeah you got to be

on a grill either flat top or griddle or grill it's a Dude, you got to get, it has to get that direct heat to get the fat and juices flowing. And it's the way. Joey, when you're not competitively eating, what is the proper way to have a dog on the fourth? What do you put on it? ketchup, mustard, relish, onions? Like, what's those New York City red onions?

Like, what does Joey Chesna do if he's wanting to eat a hot dog for actual enjoyment? Oh, my God. I'm not married to one topping. So I get to go wherever my heart desires. but mostly if raw onions and mustard a good deli mustard okay that's that's an easy go-to but all i'll mess around i love a good chili cheese dog i oh i was somewhere i had a good chicago dog recently so it would just put everything on there what's your thoughts on the uh what's your thoughts on the corn dog i don't think we ever had did you like a corn dog or no well corn dog it's trouble

I've had some experiences where you bite into a corn dog, and it's like hotter. It ruins my mouth for like two days. So sometimes it's a, it's very, I've never burnt my mouth on a hot dog, but a corn dog can be troubled in the deep fryer. It's like a hot pocket. It could deceive you,

like a hot pocket in college, right? Yeah, it could be magma inside there. Hey, what's the aftermath like? I'm not talking bathroomatics. I'm talking recovery. What's it like the day after a major competition like this? Because you're putting your body through a lot. There's a lot of pressure.

This is your big return. How long does it take for your body to get back to normal after this? It takes two days to start feeling good. And the day after can be really bad if I got dehydrated. So the weather on Coney Island, 4th of July, it's sometimes oppressive heat and humidity. So those are the times where I go in knowing that it's going to take longer to recover. When you say bad, though, like it's like a day in bed, you're just laying there.

I'm lethargic. Yeah. I'm more bloated. I'm trying to take in more liquids. And it's just I'm getting more bloated, even though it's, yeah, it's just hard. It's harder on the body when I'm at all dehydrated. So, but I've learned my body look better. But it's, if once I get, get moving, I start sweating, smell like a hot dog.

It's, the meat sweats start coming. And I, yeah, it takes a good two days, you feel close to normal. And speaking of your body and recovery, do you have ring rust? I know you missed a year, but you never stop competing. I know that's your lifestyle. I know it's what you do and you eat all sorts of things competitively. I love that you're

ring rust comparing him to a fighter. Are you ready, man? Is the body ready? Are you ready? And what's your prediction? How do you see this panning out 4th of July weekend? When you said ring rust, my, and the gears were turning. I was like, where is he going?

Yeah, I have ring rush. I mean, it's been in here. You missed a year. This is I've been really lucky. I did a couple contests already this year. I made a new world record with Bologna in Knoxville, Tennessee. So I'm not annihilated my old record. So my body's ready.

I feel good. It's going to be just got to, like I said, just eat some hot dogs. Find my happy place. I don't know. I may have eaten more bologna than Jone. And then Joey at my grandmother's house in the 80s.

Yeah, Bologna and catch up sandwiches. Every day. Joey, continued success. I'm glad you're back. We're happy that you're back. back and always appreciate you giving Kavino and Rich some time, brother.

Appreciate you, man. Oh, great talking to you guys again. Absolutely. Joey Chestnut. There is one of the goats. It's not Shoahe Otani. When you think about what brings Americans in America together, it's Joey Chestnut 4th of July.

My prediction, Patrick Bertoletti, never heard of him. But Joey Chestnut's back. Give me this. What's your, not over under, what's your point? What's your dog spread? Whoa. If you're, what's your dog. How many does he beat second place by?

Well, Joey, uh, Joey's record is 76. Patrick won last year with 58. I think both guys improve. I think Joey breaks his own record. You heard the guy. He says, the only one I'm competing with is myself. They're not looking over to see what the competition is doing. They're trying to beat their own personal records and do the best that they can.

So my prediction is pain and Joey breaks it by one dog, 77. to Bertoletti's 60. I think Bertoletti really pushes. He gets 60 this year. Joey beats him by 17. I think Chesnup brings it, but he's not going for his own record. I think he's going to ease his way back in,

but win. He's trying to make a statement, bro. This is his big comeback. I'm going to compare it to tonight's NBA game five. OKC's favorite by nine and a half. So I'm going to set the hot dog spread at nine and a half. Does Joey Chesnup beat second place by 10 dogs in two weeks? You just said hot dogs spread.

I'm saying yes. Yeah, he said hot dogs spread. Danny, what's your dog spread? It's your dog spread. Yeah, I'm, you know, I'm kind of with Rich. I feel like he's going to have to ease his way back in. I don't think he'll beat his personal record until the next 4th of July. Okay, like, you know, one year off, he's a little, he's not the same.

But you know what, Rich? It's like Michael Jordan coming back. I got to ask you this. It's a lot like Michael Jordan come back. I'll tell you. We're having fun with it because Joey's a great guy, and it really is something so American. Fourth of July, Joey Chestnut, Nathan's, Coney Island. Like when he wasn't doing it, it did feel sort of whack.

It felt empty, it did. But boiled hot dogs? Are you kidding me? I agree. You would choose a boiled hot dog over a grilled hot dog? Hey, ass clown. I like to throw him on the grill, but how many times have you made hot dogs or your kids and your mom or someone threw in a bug? Who likes that?

What do you like, do you like boiled, um... Russell sprouts? Russell sprouts? No, I do not. That's what I mean? But Danny G, you're telling me as a kid you didn't have boiled hot dogs? I mean, didn't we all? You did, but it doesn't mean?

Yeah. You broke at the grill every time the way. No, it sure was different than a family grill because that's when you were like, oh, this is what hot dogs are supposed to be like. And the Dodger dog famously at Dodger Stadium, one of the reasons why it went downhill a little bit is they started boiling some of them rather than grilling all of them.

Kavino, what about when you go to New York City? You got a great hot dog, like Rob Parker would say, you get that the red onions on the hot dog. And that's a boiled New York City hot dog. What up, Sam? All right, get this, guys. So next year is America's 250th anniversary, 1776 to 2026. His record is what, 76 hot dogs?

Yeah. It'll be the 4th of July, the 250th anniversary of America next year. What if he breaks that record of 76 on America's 250th birthday? So maybe he won't break his own record. He can still win it without break it. Purposefully to bring the heat next year. I'm seeing a lot of synergy here. I'm seeing a lot of things syncing up.

I feel you. 16-time champion. bound to be your 17-time Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champion is back. What a day of returns, and you only get the legends here on Kavino and Rich. Now, no, USA. The Swiggy is the coveted prize we give away next. What's the Swiggy? Well, it's what everybody needs this summer.

What's the news, new? Huge news. We created our... own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to a first people to do podcasts. Pretty, yeah, pretty wide range of podcasts. We're starting a trend. But this one's extra special. So how did we, how do we actually come up with a name Hey Jonas, guys? I honestly don't remember. I think it was on a call about what we should call it. Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Renee Stubbs tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on Clay. Jenchian went. I mean, she went down at three to Rabakina, but I'm delighted. She's an outsider to win the French for me. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lina Rabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface because if she's serving, well, good luck.

Manny Ramirez is on the list. The number 19. We have a four-way tie, which means we're going to come back after the update and have overtime, which is going to be our tie break. I love overtime. The only one you missed in the top five was pool holes. I hate that. Out of sight, out of mind.

Yeah, Steve and Orlando, hang on for us, okay? And each team gets a possession and overtime now? Yes, we all got it. Thank you. All right. We got the show Hey, Otani, starting on the mound tonight for the L.A. Dodgers. Now, he's just the opener. Don't get too excited.

He might only throw an inning for all we know, but the Dodgers are hosting San Diego in the start of a four-game series. LA first in the NOS, two games over the Idol Giants. Padres are three-back. Otani has not pitched in a game in nearly two years. Houston has won five straight. They're at the A's in one of the late games. Houston pitcher Lance McCullors Jr.

Was scheduled to start tonight. He goes on the aisle with a sprained foot instead. Boston is won five in a row. It has a late game at Seattle. The Red Sox last night traded D.H. Raphael Devers to San Francisco. By the way, Devers had a large voting lead for the All-Star game at DH in the AL, but was just traded to the NL, so now he's behind Shoah Otani there.

That's so weird. So hold on now. Who's he screwing over in the NL? No, second. But I'm saying so is because he's a What would he be a third baser in D.H? What would he be in the NL? Most definitely DH.

So Otani's the leading vote getter overall in the NL and Aaron Judge the leading vote getter overall in the AO. And starting up shortly, we got Philadelphia Miami Phil's have won four in a row. Of course, game five of the NBA finals is tonight. We're still a couple hours away

from that. Oklahoma City hosts Indiana series tied at two. WNBA is off. Stanley Cup. Game 6 is Tuesday. and at the FIFA Club World Cup, Chelsea beat L-AFC, 2-0 in Atlanta. And we had a no-hitter pitched at the College Baseball World Series. Arkansas eliminates Murray State 3-0. Gage Wood struck out 19.

The only other no-hitters at the College World Series occurred in 1950 and 1960. Back to you. That's cool, man. Steve DeSager. Been a minute. We got overtime in last one standing, and we'll get you hyped up for tonight's NBA, finals plus the return of show hey we'll get to that all next right here on fox sports radio

Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band. Before Jonas Brothers was...

This is how you guys remember it going down? Yes. I have a very different memory of this. We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast, where people could call in and say, hey, Jonas. And then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas, and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast. But thanks for remembering that, guys.

Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.

I'm Renee Stubbs, and on the Renee Stubbs Tennis podcast, I'm breaking down everything happening at Roland Garris, every match, every upset, and what it really takes to win on clay. Genshin win. I mean, she went down in three to Roebuckina, but I'm delighted. Yeah, she's an outsider to win the French. And she likes Clay. Listen, Lernerabakina is arguably the best player in the world right now. And I actually can win on any surface. Because if she's serving, well, good luck.

it's a four-way tie and last one standing today oh man steve and orlando let's get him back on the line steve steve yeah three steves today all right tie break the way this works no multiple choice It's whoever comes closest. Just buzz in with your name to go first. And I'll give you guys a few seconds to think about this. Little math involved in your heads. Oh, no. In 22 seasons, how many total touchdowns did Tom Brady throw?

Regular season and postseason. 22 seasons, total TDs thrown by Tom Brady. Okay. I'm using my calculator. I'm not looking it up just so you know. Calculator. All right, hold on. This Steve is going to know.

Yep. Steve and Orlando, you can go first. What's your guess? 87. I'm sorry, what? In 22 seasons. Yeah, 22 seasons. Total touchdowns.

In counting playoffs. Yeah, how many touchdowns in 22 years? Not 22 games, 22 years. Oh, my bad, my bad. 88 then. How about this? Stephen Orlando, you wait. We'll let you guess in a second.

Who really wants to go first? I'll say 522. 522 for DeSager, okay? Who wants to go next? I am going to say 759. Okay. Covino. 8.06. 8.6. Okay.

And now, Stephen Orlando. 843. The actual retail number is 737 touchdowns. Rich is the closest with 759. Pretty close, Rick. Yeah, not a bad guess. Wait a minute, but everybody went over. Do I win both showcases?

No, it's just whoever comes closest. Great job by all you guys in the game today. What a battle. And Double Talk Davis, the question is, since it went to OT, do you still want to send your Swiggy to Steve and Orlando? Of course I do. Steve, we'll send you the Swiggy and we'll throw in a coozy because you're a nice guy, right? All right.

Oh, appreciate you guys, man. Thank you. Great battle. And of all the Steve's battling, the one rich. the one dick wins. So, congrats to Dickie Davis

with the victory. Oh, Dickie Davis. Steve! Wow. And great playing with you. Steve DeSager. Great to see you, man. And you?

You know, for people new to Covino and Rich, we were on the air quite often with Steve DeSager on our weekend show, so it's great to see him here hanging out with us today. It's like an ex-girlfriend.

We haven't seen it a lot. It is. Hey, Steve, do you think about us? There was no breakup. I know. Aside from that, it's just like that. You know, he just moved. He moved to another town.

He was our junior high girlfriend that just left town. Thank you. That was a nice battle, though. You know what? I did the simple math. I just did 22 seasons and I just averaged 35 and that was 770. And I said, let me knock off like 10. I'm not good at math or else I may have had a chance.

All right. So what do you want to wrap with Rich? I know what I want to wrap. Raphael Devers. No. I want to wrap with a stat or maybe a rule that not everyone knew about that Danny G just showed us during the break. Well, it's a simple rule that if Shohey's pitching starting tonight and he pitches about two

winnings or so, he's able to jump right back into the game as a DH. Well, here's the thing. He's the only person in Major League baseball. Now, the DH is optional. We got to remember that until a few years ago, in the National League, the pitcher hit. In the American League, the DH took the pitcher's hitting spot. I know I'm giving you like baseball 101, like you're five years old, but let me follow. When they did the universal DH, the DH took over that pitcher's hitting spot.

But you could, if you really wanted to, say, I still want my pitcher to hit. No one ever said you can't have your pitcher hit. It's just, why would you ever opt for your pitcher who's going to bat 120 to hit? That's why we don't think about this. Yeah, Shohei, being the one exception to this, will hit. But he could stay the DH the whole game. it's regardless of which isn't a word

regardless of where he is in the field or not even playing a position he could hit the whole game that's the beauty of Shohei Otani so he's in the game it's not like once he's pulled he's out like you forget the so talk about getting your money's worth this is the game to go there you get to see him

hit and pitch you know the DH didn't take the bat out of the pitchers no hands the DHS said hey you have a chance if you're going to bat nine who do you want to bat your pitcher or one of your position players, and every team is always going to say one of our position players at DH,

unless your pitcher is Shohei Otani, he would bat, but since it's not the traditional National League pitching rules, that DH could hit the whole game regardless of whether they're in the field defensively or not. Te-da. Yeah, but, you know,

we're going to see some history in the making first time on the mound as a Dodger. You just hope as a baseball fan that everything goes smoothly, because there's a difference between warming up and practice games and simulation versus really putting it out there, giving it your all on the big league mound, pitching all out for the first time and what since 2023. Yeah. So you just hope everything goes smoothly just as a baseball fan because he's one of the best baseball has, if not the best.

Don't hurt Trump. Don't hurt Trump. Yeah, right? I mean, it's scary. It really is just for any fan. But it's the big return tonight of not only Jean-Carlo's stance. and as we said, Joey Chestnut, who was here earlier, he's back, but Sho Hayotani on the Mount tonight versus the Padres. So quite the battle.

Division battle. Enjoy that. Enjoy your NBA finals. Game 5, and we'll see you back here tomorrow. And don't forget this Friday, if you got a chance, and you're in the area, Vegas, Circa, our big pool party, see you there. And we'll see you tomorrow. Arriva Derchi, baby.

See you in the Promise Land. Bye, everybody. Thanks again, guys. Hey, guys, it's us. The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe. I'm Kevin. And I'm Nick. And guess,

What? We created our own podcast called Hey Jonas. We invented a podcast? Well, we didn't invent it. We just contributed to it. We're the first people to do podcasts. We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions. Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it, but, you know, tired and sick.
