About this episode

Joey Chestnut discusses the intricacies of competitive eating and shares his experiences and records.

Bonus Episode: The GOAT of competitive eating, Joey Chestnut, joins us live from Charlotte Motor Speedway on Memorial Day race weekend. Joey pulls back the curtain on what it actually takes to eat 70+ hot dogs in 10 minutes: the cleanses, the jaw training, the rhythm, the film study, and why it's a lot more like racing than people realize. We cover the 76 hot dog world record, the time he grabbed a protestor mid-contest and still won, the Kobayashi rivalry, the "999" baseball challenge, his first-ever win (deep-fried asparagus, somehow), and what the end of a career looks like for the best to ever do it. He also tries a Gleezy dog for the first time and weighs in on the great ketchup debate. Equal parts hilarious, surprising, and oddly inspiring. New episodes every Monday.
