And hours from now. 55 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 2: After a year of exile sent to Guantanamo Bay, Joey 56 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: Chestnut is back and better than ever. He will be 57 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:32,239 Speaker 2: competing in the most iconic event on the fourth of July, 58 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 2: the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is hours away 59 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 2: as we're doing this in real time now. Chestnut was 60 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: unable to give the world his skill because of his 61 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 2: deal to represent an evil veggie hot dog. He endorsed 62 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: it a sad day, but it wasn't asked last week 63 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: that he will return to the competition, and sure enough, 64 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: later today that will happen. He said he's thrilled to 65 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 2: be back at doing what he does best. So if 66 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 2: you've not been following it, perhaps you have some thoughts 67 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: on that. I have some thoughts. 68 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: So let us discuss the question. How big a deal 69 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: is it? 70 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: How big a deal is it to have Joey Chestnut 71 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 2: back in the Independence Day hot dog eating fiesta. So 72 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: I've got my views on this. I've got George Washington, 73 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: Lehman Brothers, and unicorns, and we will combine all of 74 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 2: these things together and we are going to enjoy some 75 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: dogs and buns. 76 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 1: Some dogs and buns. We'll do that. 77 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: So first of all, all right, last year, the people 78 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: at Nathan's and Major League Eating decided they were going 79 00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: to f around. They were gonna play hardball with the 80 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,279 Speaker 2: golden goose. Now, what is the first rule of having 81 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 2: a golden goose? You don't mess with the golden goose? 82 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: Right, foolish. 83 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 2: It would be like the NFL banning Tom Brady from 84 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,279 Speaker 2: competing in the playoffs because. 85 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 1: He wore the wrong shoe, you know, or something like that. 86 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 2: It was petty, it was dumb that he was not 87 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: allowed to compete in twenty twenty four. And it's kind 88 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: of like on the fourth of July, a lot of 89 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 2: towns are going to drones. I think that's dumb. I'm 90 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 2: a purist. When it comes to the Fourth of July. 91 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 2: I want explosives. I want massive explosives. I don't want drones. 92 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't And so. 93 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,080 Speaker 2: It felt like going to a Fourth of July show 94 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: and it's drones, not fireworks. 95 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: Not the same. Right. 96 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: When it comes to Joey Chestnut, he is the George 97 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 2: Washington of the Glizzy Gobblers. He is when the guy 98 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 2: he calls himself Jaws Joey Chestnut, when he steps back 99 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: on that stage at the famous hot dog eating contest, 100 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 2: They're the Nathan's Famous hot Dog Eating Contest. It is 101 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 2: akin to the Liberty bell Out, Freedomman, hot Dogs for everyone, 102 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: the pursuit of happiness. It is a triumph to an 103 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 2: American tradition, and it is a middle finger to the 104 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 2: people that decided to ban him from the big evil 105 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: corporations and all that. And listen, it's great, a little 106 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 2: piece of Americana, jest Nut. You think about athletes that 107 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 2: have pushed back time. Joey Chestnuts I believe forty one 108 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 2: years old, and he is a hot dog devouring Demi god, 109 00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: and he just wraps himself in the flag. Now, the 110 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 2: betting us, you can bet on everything, not in California 111 00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,080 Speaker 2: because everything's illegal, but in the rest of the free 112 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 2: world for the most part, other than a few places 113 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 2: in the Bible Belt. So DraftKings has Joey Chestnut as 114 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 2: a minus twenty five hundred favorite to win. Now, that 115 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,359 Speaker 2: means you would have to bet your your child, like 116 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: maxis driving around, has got three kids, You'd have to 117 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: bet Max your your kid's college fund all of them 118 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 2: to win a If you win, you win like a 119 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 2: gift card to starbuckser right, Yeah, I mean the math 120 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 2: on that is not that good.

So if you miss this, Milwaukee is 173 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 2: going to eat without cheese curds one hundred and thirteen million, 174 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 2: one hundred. 175 00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 1: And thirteen million dollar contract. 176 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 2: They're gonna eat that contract and just get rid of 177 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 2: it like it's something on the discount rack there at 178 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: TJ Max like just take it whatever, which is it's. 179 00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 1: Kind of cute, right because dame time. 180 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: He says he's not a gamble, which I believe is 181 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 2: also what the Lehman Brothers said if you remember back 182 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,439 Speaker 2: in eight I know it's been seventeen years, but they, Oh, no, 183 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 2: we're reliable. 184 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: Oh we got a track record. Come on. Lillard is 185 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: thirty five. 186 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 2: This month, which is not old in the real world, 187 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: but in sports it's old. He's rehabbing a achilles that 188 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 2: is like shredded shredded pork and the basketball equivalent of 189 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 2: some kind of dramatic Shakespearean drama, tragedy whatever, and he 190 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 2: is expected to miss the entire season next year, and 191 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 2: yet he wants you to know that he is. 192 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 1: Not a gamble. 193 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 2: So let me get in the cockpit of my B 194 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 2: two stealth bomber a little truth bomb. 195 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: The Achilles injury. 196 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: Does not lie, right, and the aging thing is legit. 197 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: And Lillard at his. 198 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 2: Peak when he was on the Oregon Trail with the 199 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: Portland Trail Blazers, Damian Lillard was built on explosive ability 200 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 2: and all of that and bouncing around. 201 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 1: And so if you take away the turbo button, what 202 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: do you have. We don't know. 203 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 2: Can he reinvent himself. Sure, he's always been a defensive liability. 204 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: That was before his achilles just folded away. 205 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: And so that's that's a problem. And if you if 206 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: you're a contender, Now here's the thing. If you're a 207 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 1: contending team. 208 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:41,000 Speaker 2: And yet you have the flexibility and you want to 209 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:45,839 Speaker 2: do some deep prayering, prayer, praying, praying, praying, then he's 210 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,839 Speaker 2: a calculated risk. If you're expecting Dame Lillard to walk 211 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 2: through that door and he's like the twenty nineteen version 212 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: you were living in a place at Disneyland called Fantasy Lamb. 213 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 1: All right, final thought. 214 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:03,000 Speaker 2: We now go to the Boop Tube where Boston Celtic's 215 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 2: legend Paul Pierce. 216 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 1: He said he's got a TV show. I've never seen it, 217 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: but there are some interesting quotes that come out of that. 218 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 2: So Paul Pierce called himself the quote best pure scorer. 219 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,240 Speaker 1: In NBA history. 220 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 2: That is blank. All right, that is blank. So my 221 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 2: word is unicorns. Ergo chasing unicorns in a thunderstorm. Right, 222 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: there are a few exits past Reasonville. He's already gone 223 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 2: past Reasonville. Now technically, Paul Pierce said, the term best 224 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 2: which means as good as all the rest. However, everyone 225 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: knows that Paul Pierce means. 226 00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: Better than all the rest. And this wasn't even a 227 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: random flex. 228 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 2: This was Paul Pierce reacting to Lebron giving KD the flowers. 229 00:12:59,480 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 3: Right. 230 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 2: It's instead of this was on a podcast and Lebron 231 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,520 Speaker 2: was a waxing poetic. But instead of just what normal 232 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 2: people would do with just tip the cap and say, okay, 233 00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 2: you know what, good for him, he didn't do it. 234 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: He's like, what about me? What about he became? What 235 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: about me? Listen? 236 00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:21,720 Speaker 2: Pierce solid career, good score, he averaged close to twenty 237 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: points a game, had a long career, some memorable moments in. 238 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: His career in Boston. 239 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 2: Unfortunately for him, the biggest moment of Paulper's Pierce's career 240 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 2: is when he pooped. 241 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 1: His pants and ended up in a wheelchair. 242 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 2: That's unfortunate, but that's what When I think of Paul Pierce, 243 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 2: I think of him being wheeled away because he had 244 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: a he had a streak of brown on the back 245 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 2: of his white Celtic uniform. But he could score on 246 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 2: every level and he let He never led the league 247 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 2: in scoring. However, he never averaged thirty points a game. 248 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 2: He was never if you think of his era, he 249 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 2: was never the top scorer. He wasn't the top And 250 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 2: you know, someone else had said it other than Paul Pierce. 251 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 2: He'd said, all right, well listen to that, but you 252 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 2: just sound like a douchebag. 253 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 1: When you're the one saying it. It just doesn't land. 254 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: It sounds like you're trying to rewrite history and you're 255 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 2: bummed out because you were left out of the conversation 256 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 2: and all that. It comes across like that that person, 257 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 2: that guy at the twenty year reunion who says, oh, 258 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 2: back when I was in high school, man, you know 259 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: I could have gone pro. 260 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: I could have gone pro. 261 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 2: But you know, something happened and that's it. And so 262 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 2: I can't wait till Paul Pierce. I think next week 263 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 2: he's going to announce that he. 264 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 1: Actually taught Steph Curry how to shoot. 265 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 2: And then after that he's going to announce that he 266 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 2: went back in a time machine and taught Kareem Abdul 267 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,359 Speaker 2: Jabbar the skyhook. 268 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 1: I think that's how that's going to go. All right. 269 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 2: It is the Ben Mahler Show on Fox and Mark 270 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 2: hit that button here We're going. 271 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: To move the third degree right now, go play the 272 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: third degree. 273 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: It's very exciting here, Mallard to the third degree. 274 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: It's smaller. How about that to the third degree? I 275 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: just shed that this. 276 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 4: Is one big event. 277 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 2: Gets grilled, all right, she's producing, she's doing updates, and 278 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 2: she'll be turning out the lights later. 279 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 5: Our friend breed cleaning the bathrooms, cleaning the kitchen. 280 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: Nobody does that on the weekend. Yeah, that does not happen. No, no, no, 281 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: it does not. 282 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 6: Yeah, no, that's disgusting already. 283 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 5: So the he are looking for a package consisting of 284 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 5: Dalton connect, ruy Ha Chamura, and a first round draft 285 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 5: pick for the Lakers in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Ben, 286 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 5: what do you think about Miami asking for a kind 287 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 5: of a steep price for Andrew who hasn't been that 288 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 5: great since his Golden State days like five years ago. 289 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, so if I'm Miami, I get it, Like why 290 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 2: not skinny jeans? Rob Palinka does not really seem to 291 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: know what he's doing there, unless somebody just hands. 292 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: The Lakers players. The Lakers usually end up getting eviscerated. 293 00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: Lately in the off season, they've they've had another. 294 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: Bad offseason, they got a guy that doesn't have a 295 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: good motor in DeAndre Ayton. So I just know why 296 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 2: Mike Miami would ask for all that. But if I'm 297 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 2: the Lakers, why would you want Andrew Wiggins. 298 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: I don't even think. 299 00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 2: He's all that good, So it doesn't make a lot 300 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 2: of sense to me. Like I understand why Miami's doing it, 301 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 2: like get rid of the planet. It's like they're fine 302 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 2: with the Wiggins is there or not? That heat notn't 303 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 2: going to be very good, so why not? 304 00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 5: Right next, one of the best Clippers to ever put 305 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 5: on a uniform, Paul George, said on his podcast that 306 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 5: he thinks Michael Jordan being on the NBA broadcast will 307 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 5: NBC broadcast will generate interest to the NBA. 308 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 6: Ben Do you agree with him? 309 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 2: Well, I I have to walk a tight rope here, 310 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 2: uh Breed, Uh, I'm gonna go. 311 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 3: No. 312 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: I don't think it's gonna make much of an impact 313 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 2: because unless Jordan all of a sudden wakes up one 314 00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 2: morning he decides he's going to be like Charles Barkley, 315 00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 2: it's just gonna be a lot. 316 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: Of cliches and a lot of boring soundbites from Michael Jordan. 317 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:05,880 Speaker 2: Now, if I'm wrong, and I hope I am wrong, 318 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: and Michael Jordan actually finds a personality somewhere in the 319 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 2: south of France and shows up there and is dropping Haymakers, 320 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:13,080 Speaker 2: that I'm. 321 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 1: In for it. 322 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,639 Speaker 2: But otherwise no, And it's been so long since Jordan 323 00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,360 Speaker 2: last played. There's already been a generation that has passed 324 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 2: since Jordan played.
