1
00:00:06,005 --> 00:00:09,105
Viva Las Vegas!
2
00:00:09,171 --> 00:00:13,838
It's an exciting day as Netflix is live
around the world.
3
00:00:14,871 --> 00:00:19,171
Today, the two greatest
competitive eaters of all time,
4
00:00:19,238 --> 00:00:22,671
Joey Chestnut and Takeru Kobayashi,
5
00:00:22,738 --> 00:00:25,371
rekindle one of the biggest rivalries
6
00:00:25,438 --> 00:00:27,105
in sports history...
7
00:00:27,171 --> 00:00:29,905
...and it will all go down here,
8
00:00:29,971 --> 00:00:35,538
{\an8}at the Luxor Resort and Casino
inside the HyperX Arena Las Vegas.
9
00:00:35,605 --> 00:00:38,605
{\an8}Two champions, both hungry for victory,
10
00:00:38,671 --> 00:00:41,971
will settle their beef once and for all.
11
00:00:48,738 --> 00:00:53,338
To call Kobayashi my nemesis,
it doesn't do the rivalry justice.
12
00:00:54,838 --> 00:00:57,671
I would be happy and honored
13
00:00:57,738 --> 00:00:59,138
if the viewers think of this match
14
00:00:59,205 --> 00:01:03,205
like a showdown
between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
15
00:01:05,271 --> 00:01:07,938
He was an amazing champion,
until he started losing.
16
00:01:10,104 --> 00:01:14,605
I thought he should show
some respect, like a gentleman.
17
00:01:15,605 --> 00:01:19,438
He couldn't tolerate being
next to me. That's not champion behavior.
18
00:01:19,505 --> 00:01:22,905
After taking 2007 off
due to an arthritic jaw,
19
00:01:22,971 --> 00:01:25,005
Kobayashi plans to reclaim the title.
20
00:01:25,571 --> 00:01:29,971
He has a jaw injury.
He has arthritis of the jaw.
21
00:01:30,038 --> 00:01:31,905
He has "jaw-thritis."
22
00:01:33,138 --> 00:01:35,171
He's a liar. He was playing up his injury.
23
00:01:35,238 --> 00:01:37,071
Right after I qualified
and broke his record,
24
00:01:37,138 --> 00:01:38,505
he says he has the jaw injury.
25
00:01:38,571 --> 00:01:41,238
Then he ends up eating more hot dogs
than he ever did before.
26
00:01:41,305 --> 00:01:42,605
It didn't add up quite right.
27
00:01:42,671 --> 00:01:45,138
When I heard Joey saying
28
00:01:45,205 --> 00:01:49,338
my jaw problem was fake,
29
00:01:49,405 --> 00:01:51,205
I got really upset.
30
00:01:51,271 --> 00:01:53,005
Nobody likes being called a liar,
31
00:01:53,071 --> 00:01:55,638
but when you do it,
you're gonna get called it.
32
00:01:55,705 --> 00:01:57,171
{\an8}People seem to think that
33
00:01:57,238 --> 00:01:59,638
{\an8}Joey actually may be cheating
a little bit.
34
00:01:59,705 --> 00:02:01,938
{\an8}I've definitely witnessed
some cheating, yeah.
35
00:02:02,905 --> 00:02:05,471
I'm not the judge. It's the judge's call.
36
00:02:05,538 --> 00:02:08,405
- Is he a good athlete?
- No. Not at all.
37
00:02:08,471 --> 00:02:11,205
He used to be my main rival,
but I kind of retired him.
38
00:02:11,271 --> 00:02:12,738
- Okay.
- There you go.
39
00:02:12,805 --> 00:02:16,005
If you ask him about every loss,
he'll give you an excuse.
40
00:02:17,071 --> 00:02:20,638
He's making stuff up in his own head.
41
00:02:21,338 --> 00:02:24,005
There's no more excuses.
I'm always gonna beat him.
42
00:02:25,038 --> 00:02:29,438
This is the first time
that my personal feelings are involved.
43
00:02:29,505 --> 00:02:32,738
I want to kick his ass!
44
00:02:40,071 --> 00:02:42,538
- Oh, yes! Can you believe it?
- Right?
45
00:02:44,338 --> 00:02:45,238
Yes!
46
00:02:49,605 --> 00:02:51,805
It is getting personal around here.
47
00:02:51,871 --> 00:02:55,638
Unfinished Beef.
48
00:02:55,705 --> 00:02:56,638
Hello, everybody.
49
00:02:56,705 --> 00:02:57,871
I'm Rob Riggle,
50
00:02:57,938 --> 00:03:02,838
and I am so happy to be MCing
a show that combines my two great loves:
51
00:03:02,905 --> 00:03:04,705
Vegas and hot dogs.
52
00:03:09,271 --> 00:03:11,305
Apologies to my kids.
53
00:03:11,905 --> 00:03:15,405
My fabulous cohost today
is an accomplished athlete herself.
54
00:03:15,471 --> 00:03:18,738
WWE Hall of Famer Nikki Garcia, everybody!
55
00:03:18,805 --> 00:03:21,738
Thank you, Rob. Thank you, everyone.
56
00:03:21,805 --> 00:03:23,738
{\an8}I'm so happy to be here.
57
00:03:23,805 --> 00:03:26,471
{\an8}And in just about 40 minutes...
58
00:03:26,538 --> 00:03:28,371
{\an8}Oh, I love you too.
59
00:03:28,438 --> 00:03:32,138
{\an8}...these two undisputed heavyweights
of competitive eating
60
00:03:32,205 --> 00:03:37,405
{\an8}will be standing on this stage,
devouring hot dogs at unimaginable speeds.
61
00:03:37,471 --> 00:03:40,305
{\an8}And you know what? You're all just gonna
have to see it to believe it.
62
00:03:40,371 --> 00:03:41,438
{\an8}That's right. That's right.
63
00:03:41,505 --> 00:03:45,338
{\an8}Two thousand four hundred hot dogs
have been cooked in the last month
64
00:03:45,405 --> 00:03:47,171
{\an8}to get ready for this moment.
65
00:03:47,238 --> 00:03:52,338
{\an8}Three hundred hot dogs will be prepared
for today's main event alone.
66
00:03:52,405 --> 00:03:55,005
{\an8}That is a lot of encased meat.
67
00:03:55,071 --> 00:03:58,471
{\an8}It is going to be glorious,
and perhaps a little gross.
68
00:03:58,538 --> 00:03:59,405
{\an8}That's right.
69
00:03:59,471 --> 00:04:03,438
{\an8}But, you know, Rob, that's not
the only competition happening here today.
70
00:04:03,505 --> 00:04:07,305
{\an8}Nice! That's called a tease
in the show business game.
71
00:04:08,505 --> 00:04:11,205
{\an8}That's right, we're taking
the action poolside
72
00:04:11,271 --> 00:04:13,438
{\an8}with two other greats in the sport,
73
00:04:13,505 --> 00:04:16,005
{\an8}competitive eater Matt Stonie...
74
00:04:16,071 --> 00:04:18,438
{\an8}Mm-hmm. Yes.
75
00:04:18,971 --> 00:04:20,105
{\an8}That's right.
76
00:04:20,905 --> 00:04:24,971
{\an8}He will battle three Olympic medalists.
77
00:04:25,038 --> 00:04:29,905
{\an8}And 23-time Guinness
World Record holder Leah Shutkever
78
00:04:29,971 --> 00:04:34,171
{\an8}will try to set
yet another eating world record live.
79
00:04:34,238 --> 00:04:38,471
{\an8}And these USC students rocked
Allegiant Stadium last night,
80
00:04:38,538 --> 00:04:40,705
{\an8}and now they're here
to help hype up this crowd,
81
00:04:40,771 --> 00:04:43,005
{\an8}so hit it!
82
00:04:58,971 --> 00:05:00,138
{\an8}Joey Chestnut!
83
00:05:14,805 --> 00:05:16,305
{\an8}Yes!
84
00:05:16,371 --> 00:05:18,705
{\an8}- All right!
- Whoa.
85
00:05:18,771 --> 00:05:22,838
{\an8}I mean, what a great way to get
the energy going for this live event.
86
00:05:22,905 --> 00:05:25,105
{\an8}Let's hear it again for the USC Band.
87
00:05:25,171 --> 00:05:26,505
{\an8}- Yeah.
- Whoo!
88
00:05:27,805 --> 00:05:32,605
All right, now let's meet the team calling
the action of today's main event,
89
00:05:32,671 --> 00:05:35,671
Chris Rose and Cari Champion!
90
00:05:35,738 --> 00:05:37,805
- Hey, guys!
- Hello!
91
00:05:37,871 --> 00:05:40,638
{\an8}- Nikki, Rob, thank you, oh, so much.
- Thank you.
92
00:05:40,705 --> 00:05:42,805
{\an8}- Ah, Cari, in our respective careers...
- Yes.
93
00:05:42,871 --> 00:05:46,005
{\an8}...we've had the good fortune of covering
some of the world's biggest events, right?
94
00:05:46,071 --> 00:05:47,338
{\an8}Super Bowl, NBA Finals.
95
00:05:47,405 --> 00:05:50,271
{\an8}- You covered the fight game in Vegas.
- Right. Not too long ago.
96
00:05:50,338 --> 00:05:53,538
{\an8}Actually, about ten years ago,
2015, not far from here.
97
00:05:53,605 --> 00:05:55,738
{\an8}- Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather.
- Mm-hmm.
98
00:05:55,805 --> 00:05:58,005
{\an8}And there's a lot of poetry with the two.
99
00:05:58,071 --> 00:06:00,638
{\an8}Let me explain. This is my logic here.
100
00:06:00,705 --> 00:06:02,238
{\an8}In that particular fight,
101
00:06:02,305 --> 00:06:06,771
{\an8}there was the moment that we had
to determine the undisputed champion.
102
00:06:06,838 --> 00:06:08,738
{\an8}Very much as the case here.
103
00:06:08,805 --> 00:06:10,338
{\an8}Chestnut, Kobayashi.
104
00:06:10,405 --> 00:06:13,638
{\an8}Who is the undisputed champion
when it comes to competitive eating?
105
00:06:13,705 --> 00:06:16,071
{\an8}We will find out today
because there is unfinished beef.
106
00:06:16,138 --> 00:06:17,571
{\an8}Yeah. When it comes to this world,
107
00:06:17,638 --> 00:06:20,338
{\an8}you're talking about
the Mt. Rushmore of competitive eating.
108
00:06:20,405 --> 00:06:23,638
{\an8}There aren't four faces out there.
It's two. It's Kobayashi. It's Chestnut.
109
00:06:23,705 --> 00:06:24,971
{\an8}Most likely those faces
110
00:06:25,038 --> 00:06:27,471
{\an8}- are full of food, is my guess.
- Filled with food.
111
00:06:27,538 --> 00:06:31,538
{\an8}And their relationship is frosty at times,
it has been hateful,
112
00:06:31,605 --> 00:06:33,705
{\an8}and that has carried through
to this Labor Day weekend.
113
00:06:33,771 --> 00:06:34,671
{\an8}- Don't you think?
- Yeah.
114
00:06:34,738 --> 00:06:36,705
{\an8}I think that, as we just talked
about a moment ago,
115
00:06:36,771 --> 00:06:39,605
{\an8}we had a chance to talk to these guys
this weekend. There is no love lost.
116
00:06:39,671 --> 00:06:42,771
{\an8}We can clearly see who likes who
and who doesn't like who.
117
00:06:42,838 --> 00:06:46,205
{\an8}I really believe that Joey
has some sort of respect,
118
00:06:46,271 --> 00:06:50,538
{\an8}but the fact is he called
Kobayashi a liar, and he does not like it.
119
00:06:50,605 --> 00:06:53,971
{\an8}So, I know when they were weighing in,
Joey extended his hand.
120
00:06:54,038 --> 00:06:56,971
{\an8}He said, "Let me try to shake your hand."
Kobayashi was like, "Yeah. Okay."
121
00:06:57,038 --> 00:07:01,271
{\an8}- "If we are doing this, I will do it."
- Well, they did it. Uh-huh.
122
00:07:01,338 --> 00:07:05,538
{\an8}And you know what? Two seconds,
shoutout to the crowd in here right now.
123
00:07:05,605 --> 00:07:10,005
{\an8}Because they are here to hype up
these people to do what they do best.
124
00:07:10,071 --> 00:07:11,305
{\an8}- I love it!
- That's right.
125
00:07:11,371 --> 00:07:14,071
{\an8}It is all coming your way
in about 40 minutes or so.
126
00:07:14,138 --> 00:07:16,905
{\an8}We are in Vegas so we're talking
about a "Tale of the Tape."
127
00:07:16,971 --> 00:07:20,371
{\an8}Let's remember that there's 100 grand
on the line for the winner today.
128
00:07:20,438 --> 00:07:22,238
- That's a nice bag.
- That is something special.
129
00:07:22,305 --> 00:07:25,138
But we are in Vegas, so let's see it.
A pair of 40-somethings.
130
00:07:25,205 --> 00:07:29,138
One guy in Joey Chestnut, 40 years old,
from suburban Indianapolis.
131
00:07:29,205 --> 00:07:33,438
46-year-old Kobayashi from Japan.
You can see the weight difference.
132
00:07:33,505 --> 00:07:37,805
Joey Chestnut outweighs
his opponent by nearly 65 pounds.
133
00:07:37,871 --> 00:07:38,871
A 3rd grader.
134
00:07:38,938 --> 00:07:41,771
That's about the size
of a third grader. You're right, Cari.
135
00:07:41,838 --> 00:07:43,505
All right. But look at the bottom line.
136
00:07:43,571 --> 00:07:45,238
Personal best in 10 minutes
137
00:07:45,305 --> 00:07:46,371
of hot-dog eating.
138
00:07:46,438 --> 00:07:49,171
For Joey Chestnut, 76 dogs consumed.
139
00:07:49,238 --> 00:07:51,238
- Wow.
- Kobayashi, just 64 and a half.
140
00:07:51,305 --> 00:07:54,738
That happened back in 2009,
his last Nathan's appearance,
141
00:07:54,805 --> 00:07:58,071
which coincidentally
he finished second to...
142
00:07:58,138 --> 00:08:00,205
- The guy. The main guy.
- ...Joey Chestnut.
143
00:08:00,271 --> 00:08:01,305
Speaking of Joey Chestnut,
144
00:08:01,371 --> 00:08:04,205
{\an8}he told me that he cares about the taste
of everything he's having.
145
00:08:04,271 --> 00:08:07,371
{\an8}So in case you're curious at home,
it is Labor Day, you are eating.
146
00:08:07,438 --> 00:08:11,838
{\an8}They're having Ball Park beef frankfurters
wrapped up in a Great Value bun.
147
00:08:11,905 --> 00:08:17,005
{\an8}Combined, each hot dog and bun
is cooked about maybe 89.2 grams.
148
00:08:17,071 --> 00:08:19,271
{\an8}That's the weight of it
if you will, 280 calories.
149
00:08:19,338 --> 00:08:21,771
{\an8}Take a look at it right there.
Preparation is key.
150
00:08:21,838 --> 00:08:24,405
{\an8}That's roughly three ounces, right?
151
00:08:24,471 --> 00:08:26,305
{\an8}You can see it.
It's a serious thing.
152
00:08:26,371 --> 00:08:27,538
{\an8}Can you hear the crowd?
153
00:08:27,605 --> 00:08:29,071
{\an8}- They're going, "Mm!"
- They're buzzing.
154
00:08:29,138 --> 00:08:31,205
{\an8}- They love it.
- They love it. They want a hot dog.
155
00:08:31,271 --> 00:08:35,638
{\an8}All right, listen,
it is time to at least get a small look
156
00:08:35,705 --> 00:08:38,571
{\an8}at who we want to see,
and that is Joey Chestnut.
157
00:08:38,638 --> 00:08:40,304
{\an8}There's been so much conversation about:
158
00:08:40,371 --> 00:08:42,771
{\an8}Is he ready?
Will he be the definitive champion?
159
00:08:42,838 --> 00:08:45,438
{\an8}There he is sitting in his dressing room.
160
00:08:46,271 --> 00:08:48,671
{\an8}Locked in, listening to music.
161
00:08:48,738 --> 00:08:51,471
{\an8}Not necessarily doing any jaw exercises
162
00:08:51,538 --> 00:08:54,405
{\an8}as we thought he would be doing,
Jaws himself.
163
00:08:54,471 --> 00:08:56,205
{\an8}But he's in a... Yeah, he's locked in.
164
00:08:56,271 --> 00:08:57,805
{\an8}He's in the zone.
165
00:08:57,871 --> 00:08:59,971
{\an8}Definitely the main ingredient
that's helped him build
166
00:09:00,038 --> 00:09:03,971
{\an8}one of the most impressive careers
in competitive eating history.
167
00:09:04,038 --> 00:09:07,638
{\an8}So let's find out a little more
about his entire career.
168
00:09:12,405 --> 00:09:18,605
He is your hot-dog eating
champion, Joey "Jaws" Chestnut!
169
00:09:18,671 --> 00:09:20,771
If I could talk to my 9-year-old self
170
00:09:20,838 --> 00:09:23,938
and tell him that he was gonna be
the world champion competitive eater,
171
00:09:24,005 --> 00:09:26,471
he'd say, "Oh, my God,
my life is awesome."
172
00:09:26,538 --> 00:09:29,605
Joey Chestnut is a hot-dog eating genius.
173
00:09:29,671 --> 00:09:31,405
The hot-dog eating champion.
174
00:09:31,471 --> 00:09:33,838
Joey Chestnut? He's my hero.
175
00:09:37,705 --> 00:09:40,038
The first contest I did, I was nervous.
176
00:09:40,105 --> 00:09:41,038
I was so scared.
177
00:09:41,105 --> 00:09:44,771
I remember once the contest started,
I was like, "I don't have to hold back."
178
00:09:44,838 --> 00:09:48,105
I felt a weird kind of...
179
00:09:48,171 --> 00:09:50,871
It sounds dorky... freedom, to be myself.
180
00:09:50,938 --> 00:09:54,238
As a young man, watching
the dominance of Kobayashi,
181
00:09:54,305 --> 00:09:57,138
Joey felt the calling
to compete against the best.
182
00:09:57,205 --> 00:09:59,405
Kobayashi!
183
00:09:59,471 --> 00:10:03,938
Takeru Kobayashi, he's the reason
why I went all in on competitive eating.
184
00:10:04,005 --> 00:10:05,571
He is a master!
185
00:10:05,638 --> 00:10:08,638
{\an8}He was the man with the target
on him. He was unbeatable.
186
00:10:08,705 --> 00:10:10,005
He is a magician!
187
00:10:10,071 --> 00:10:12,571
I had to make a decision early on
that I was gonna do something
188
00:10:12,638 --> 00:10:15,371
- nobody else thought was possible.
- Kobayashi is an alchemist!
189
00:10:15,438 --> 00:10:19,338
{\an8}I did my first contest in 2005,
competing against Kobayashi
190
00:10:19,405 --> 00:10:21,771
{\an8}in Nathan's 4th of July
Hot Dog Eating Contest.
191
00:10:21,838 --> 00:10:24,171
For the past month,
I've been eating hot dogs every Saturday.
192
00:10:24,238 --> 00:10:27,271
{\an8}I was four months into competitive eating,
I placed third.
193
00:10:28,138 --> 00:10:29,638
{\an8}Kobayashi won that contest.
194
00:10:29,705 --> 00:10:32,271
Takeru Kobayashi!
195
00:10:32,338 --> 00:10:36,205
{\an8}The next year, 2006, I placed second.
196
00:10:36,271 --> 00:10:38,938
{\an8}Kobayashi was seemingly unbeatable.
197
00:10:39,005 --> 00:10:41,505
The top-ranked eater in the world.
198
00:10:41,571 --> 00:10:45,171
But I used it as motivation
to push myself.
199
00:10:45,238 --> 00:10:46,871
And the third year...
200
00:10:48,505 --> 00:10:49,638
2007...
201
00:10:51,271 --> 00:10:52,271
I won.
202
00:10:52,938 --> 00:10:57,438
{\an8}In first place, with 66 hot dogs and buns,
203
00:10:57,505 --> 00:11:01,271
{\an8}Joey Chestnut!
204
00:11:01,338 --> 00:11:05,671
{\an8}Kobayashi was an amazing champion.
But I beat him three years in a row.
205
00:11:05,738 --> 00:11:08,771
{\an8}So it's safe to say that,
in the discipline of hot dogs,
206
00:11:08,838 --> 00:11:10,671
I had his number.
207
00:11:12,705 --> 00:11:14,305
Since defeating Kobayashi,
208
00:11:14,371 --> 00:11:17,471
Joey became the face
of the competitive eating world.
209
00:11:19,605 --> 00:11:22,771
Dominating for over 15 years.
210
00:11:22,838 --> 00:11:27,471
The once and future king, Joey Chestnut!
211
00:11:32,605 --> 00:11:35,238
Kobayashi is my biggest competitor.
212
00:11:36,138 --> 00:11:37,738
I'm trying to prove I'm the best.
213
00:11:37,805 --> 00:11:40,671
He might want to win really,
really, really bad.
214
00:11:40,738 --> 00:11:41,905
I need to win.
215
00:11:41,971 --> 00:11:43,005
Go!
216
00:11:47,938 --> 00:11:49,405
- They understand...
- Yeah.
217
00:11:49,471 --> 00:11:52,471
They understand what's on the line.
We can hear it.
218
00:11:52,538 --> 00:11:56,038
It's more about not winning,
but not losing to this guy.
219
00:11:56,105 --> 00:11:59,471
{\an8}I mean, with Joey Chestnut, when
he burst onto the scene two decades ago,
220
00:11:59,538 --> 00:12:03,171
{\an8}he said he has a sense of self,
a purpose, a road map in life.
221
00:12:03,238 --> 00:12:04,871
{\an8}He takes it very seriously.
222
00:12:04,938 --> 00:12:08,271
{\an8}He loves the celebrity and he just loves
everything that comes with it.
223
00:12:08,338 --> 00:12:12,171
{\an8}I think we've made it clear these guys
are both true athletes who train,
224
00:12:12,238 --> 00:12:14,438
{\an8}they prepare,
they understand what it all means.
225
00:12:14,505 --> 00:12:17,538
{\an8}I'm really excited about
what we're gonna see here, because this...
226
00:12:17,605 --> 00:12:19,771
{\an8}Yes, that's right, you are excited.
227
00:12:19,838 --> 00:12:21,571
{\an8}I will take that, as well.
228
00:12:21,638 --> 00:12:24,638
{\an8}We have a lot to get to to understand
what they've been through.
229
00:12:24,705 --> 00:12:27,938
{\an8}Yeah. You know,
the only person other than Kobayashi
230
00:12:28,005 --> 00:12:30,938
{\an8}to take down Joey Chestnut
at Nathan's was Matt Stonie,
231
00:12:31,005 --> 00:12:33,905
{\an8}who is outside
with Rob and Nikki right now.
232
00:12:33,971 --> 00:12:35,905
{\an8}Let's head poolside.
233
00:12:36,738 --> 00:12:41,205
{\an8}Hey! We are here with
the world-renowned competitive eater,
234
00:12:41,271 --> 00:12:43,405
Matt Stonie, everybody!
235
00:12:43,471 --> 00:12:47,071
This man scoops. He slurps. He dominates.
236
00:12:47,138 --> 00:12:52,305
He sure does. He has more than
3.6 billion views on YouTube.
237
00:12:52,371 --> 00:12:55,071
That is a lot of people
watching him eat meat.
238
00:12:55,138 --> 00:12:58,805
That's right and he holds the world record
239
00:12:58,871 --> 00:13:03,238
for eating the most bacon
in five minutes, at 182 slices.
240
00:13:03,305 --> 00:13:06,638
Just beating my personal best
of 180 slices.
241
00:13:06,705 --> 00:13:09,238
- Matt, welcome to the show.
- Yes, welcome!
242
00:13:09,305 --> 00:13:12,571
{\an8}- This is exciting. I'm excited.
- We're so excited to have you.
243
00:13:12,638 --> 00:13:13,605
Matt, we wanna know.
244
00:13:13,671 --> 00:13:17,405
So, we are all of course
waiting to see the main event today.
245
00:13:17,471 --> 00:13:19,105
- Yeah.
- But we all want to know,
246
00:13:19,171 --> 00:13:22,371
- how did you beat Joey in 2015?
- Yeah.
247
00:13:22,438 --> 00:13:25,238
- That... You know, I...
- That's a major feat. That is not easy.
248
00:13:25,305 --> 00:13:28,005
Joey is a great eater
but he's not unbeatable.
249
00:13:28,071 --> 00:13:30,238
{\an8}And I just showed up hungrier that day.
250
00:13:30,305 --> 00:13:32,505
{\an8}- Oh.
- Yeah!
251
00:13:32,571 --> 00:13:34,771
- I like it. I like a hungry man.
- Pun intended.
252
00:13:34,838 --> 00:13:36,271
Yeah. Pun intended.
253
00:13:36,338 --> 00:13:38,471
Okay. Well, you know, Matt,
254
00:13:38,538 --> 00:13:41,371
- today, you are taking on chicken wings.
- Yeah.
255
00:13:41,438 --> 00:13:43,971
But you're not gonna have
just one opponent.
256
00:13:44,038 --> 00:13:47,771
You are going to be facing
three Olympic athletes.
257
00:13:48,505 --> 00:13:55,038
By the way, two that
just medaled at Paris 2024.
258
00:13:55,105 --> 00:13:57,638
- How do you feel about that?
- I'm nervous.
259
00:13:57,705 --> 00:13:59,571
They're competition and everything.
260
00:13:59,638 --> 00:14:01,771
- Yeah.
- But this is my territory.
261
00:14:01,838 --> 00:14:04,338
- They're out of water. So, let's go.
- Ooh! Out of water!
262
00:14:04,405 --> 00:14:07,105
Well, speaking of that,
let's welcome them.
263
00:14:07,171 --> 00:14:12,705
Please, everyone, welcome Max Irving,
Ryan Lochte, and Ryan Murphy.
264
00:14:12,771 --> 00:14:16,371
USA! USA! USA!
265
00:14:16,438 --> 00:14:19,738
USA! USA! USA!
266
00:14:19,805 --> 00:14:21,971
{\an8}- USA! USA!
- All right.
267
00:14:22,038 --> 00:14:24,105
{\an8}- I wrote that song, by the way.
- Yeah.
268
00:14:24,171 --> 00:14:27,105
Listen, we've got three Olympians here.
269
00:14:27,171 --> 00:14:29,305
You guys are truly amazing.
270
00:14:29,371 --> 00:14:32,005
All of you, medalists. You've all
represented America wonderfully.
271
00:14:32,071 --> 00:14:34,938
- Thank you for that. Hats off to you all.
- Yes. Thank you.
272
00:14:37,438 --> 00:14:39,838
Look, in the water, you guys are deadly.
273
00:14:39,905 --> 00:14:42,471
Out of the water,
I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.
274
00:14:43,505 --> 00:14:47,238
How are you gonna win this thing today?
Who's gonna carry the team? Talk to me.
275
00:14:47,305 --> 00:14:50,571
I have been secretly training for this
since I was 10.
276
00:14:50,638 --> 00:14:53,738
{\an8}- Every Friday, pizza and wings.
- Pizza and wings every Friday.
277
00:14:53,805 --> 00:14:56,305
{\an8}- Secret training, I like that.
- Oh, yeah.
278
00:14:56,371 --> 00:14:58,738
{\an8}Ryan Lochte with his secret training.
How about you, Ryan?
279
00:14:58,805 --> 00:15:00,471
I'm just looking at this plate,
280
00:15:00,538 --> 00:15:02,905
{\an8}I'm visualizing how I can
take down as many wings as possible.
281
00:15:02,971 --> 00:15:05,671
{\an8}See? That's a big Olympic thing,
visualization. Am I right, Max?
282
00:15:05,738 --> 00:15:08,538
{\an8}Yep, absolutely. And we're working
on a little bit of the technique.
283
00:15:08,605 --> 00:15:10,371
{\an8}Matt has been giving us some tips,
284
00:15:10,438 --> 00:15:13,038
{\an8}but he's been keeping the ground-breaking
things close to his heart.
285
00:15:13,105 --> 00:15:15,738
{\an8}But hopefully, we got some techniques
we're gonna implement
286
00:15:15,805 --> 00:15:17,105
that should help expedite things.
287
00:15:17,171 --> 00:15:21,971
Okay. I know you consume between 6000
and 8000 calories when you're training.
288
00:15:22,038 --> 00:15:23,338
Not in the pool today.
289
00:15:24,171 --> 00:15:27,538
When you get done eating, wait 15 minutes
before you can get back in the pool.
290
00:15:27,605 --> 00:15:29,805
Everybody knows that.
That's not me, that's just science.
291
00:15:29,871 --> 00:15:32,105
- You know. Right.
- Nikki, that's science. All right.
292
00:15:32,171 --> 00:15:35,071
- Let's get ready to do this thing.
- Are you guys ready?
293
00:15:35,138 --> 00:15:37,105
Guess what, the rules are simple.
294
00:15:37,171 --> 00:15:42,338
So whichever side eats the most wings
in three minutes wins.
295
00:15:42,405 --> 00:15:43,605
So are you guys ready for that?
296
00:15:43,671 --> 00:15:45,838
Matt Stonie, are you ready to take on
297
00:15:45,905 --> 00:15:48,938
three Olympic athletes
right here, live on Netflix?
298
00:15:49,005 --> 00:15:51,138
Yeah!
299
00:16:03,171 --> 00:16:05,205
- Gentlemen, are you ready?
- Ready.
300
00:16:05,271 --> 00:16:07,338
- Matt Stonie, are you ready?
- Good.
301
00:16:08,338 --> 00:16:11,805
Three, two, one...
302
00:16:12,271 --> 00:16:13,338
eat!
303
00:16:13,405 --> 00:16:15,838
{\an8}- Let's go!
- Go, go, go!
304
00:16:15,905 --> 00:16:17,738
{\an8}Come on, Matt. You've got this.
305
00:16:18,305 --> 00:16:21,671
{\an8}All right, the Olympians are ahead...
No, they are tied.
306
00:16:21,738 --> 00:16:24,805
{\an8}The Olympians are pulling ahead.
This is crazy.
307
00:16:25,471 --> 00:16:27,371
{\an8}Good job, Matt. You've got this.
308
00:16:28,171 --> 00:16:29,871
{\an8}Matt, you are tied with the Olympians.
309
00:16:29,938 --> 00:16:32,838
{\an8}We are at two minutes, 40 seconds.
310
00:16:33,738 --> 00:16:36,438
{\an8}Ryan Lochte looks a little slow there.
311
00:16:36,505 --> 00:16:39,838
{\an8}Oh, it is decisively even, Nikki.
312
00:16:39,905 --> 00:16:42,138
{\an8}- This is crazy.
- This is close.
313
00:16:43,571 --> 00:16:46,771
{\an8}Come on, Matt. We've got you.
Come on, give us a chant.
314
00:16:49,205 --> 00:16:54,738
{\an8}Go, eat the wings!
Go, eat the wings! Go, eat the wings!
315
00:16:55,471 --> 00:16:57,671
{\an8}That's right.
316
00:16:57,738 --> 00:16:59,738
{\an8}There you go. I like this, Rob.
317
00:16:59,805 --> 00:17:01,638
{\an8}You're joining the competition.
318
00:17:02,138 --> 00:17:04,971
{\an8}All right, we are at almost two minutes.
319
00:17:05,105 --> 00:17:06,638
{\an8}Matt is ahead.
320
00:17:06,705 --> 00:17:09,805
{\an8}Matt at 17, the Olympians at 12.
321
00:17:09,871 --> 00:17:12,871
{\an8}Matt, they look like
they're slowing down. Keep going.
322
00:17:12,938 --> 00:17:15,438
{\an8}Let's set a record
right now here on Netflix.
323
00:17:20,471 --> 00:17:23,205
{\an8}- I'll ask these guys some questions.
- Yeah.
324
00:17:23,271 --> 00:17:25,771
{\an8}I know you are in an eating competition,
325
00:17:25,838 --> 00:17:29,405
{\an8}so it might be a bad time
to ask some questions.
326
00:17:30,171 --> 00:17:32,571
{\an8}What's your favorite Rob Riggle movie?
327
00:17:32,638 --> 00:17:34,705
{\an8}You know what? I'll answer for you.
328
00:17:35,471 --> 00:17:36,938
{\an8}What's that? You said all of them?
329
00:17:37,005 --> 00:17:40,005
{\an8}- Okay. That's amazing.
- The Olympians are at 18.
330
00:17:40,071 --> 00:17:42,838
{\an8}- We are gonna hit a minute 30.
- Ryan Lochte!
331
00:17:42,905 --> 00:17:45,238
{\an8}Look at him go. That is cleaning the bone.
332
00:17:45,305 --> 00:17:47,971
{\an8}- Ryan Lochte's setting a record.
- We're at the halfway point.
333
00:17:48,038 --> 00:17:49,238
{\an8}Halfway point.
334
00:17:50,005 --> 00:17:52,038
{\an8}What's going on over here
with Matt Stonie?
335
00:17:53,638 --> 00:17:55,738
{\an8}All right, a minute 19.
336
00:17:56,238 --> 00:17:59,838
{\an8}Matt Stonie at 31 wings,
the Olympians at 22.
337
00:18:01,338 --> 00:18:03,405
{\an8}All right, band, let's hear you.
338
00:18:03,471 --> 00:18:04,571
{\an8}Come on, band.
339
00:18:08,771 --> 00:18:13,805
{\an8}Go, eat the wings!
Go, eat the wings! Go, eat the wings!
340
00:18:13,871 --> 00:18:16,738
{\an8}The crowd out here's so loud, Nikki,
I can't even hear myself.
341
00:18:16,805 --> 00:18:18,505
{\an8}I can't even hear any of it.
342
00:18:18,571 --> 00:18:21,871
{\an8}- All I can hear is the chomping of wings...
- Right?
343
00:18:21,938 --> 00:18:23,771
{\an8}...coming from the Olympians
and from Matt Stonie.
344
00:18:23,838 --> 00:18:26,038
{\an8}But I've never seen anything like it.
345
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:30,405
{\an8}Never seen anything. Did you ever think,
at this point, 45 seconds left,
346
00:18:30,471 --> 00:18:32,938
{\an8}- that Matt Stonie would be at 41?
- We're under a minute!
347
00:18:33,005 --> 00:18:34,605
{\an8}- Under a minute!
- We're under a minute!
348
00:18:34,671 --> 00:18:35,971
{\an8}Do you think they can catch up?
349
00:18:36,538 --> 00:18:38,338
{\an8}- Not a chance!
- Not a chance.
350
00:18:38,405 --> 00:18:41,905
{\an8}We have Matt Stonie at 43 wings,
Olympians at 29.
351
00:18:41,971 --> 00:18:44,738
{\an8}- You're doing a great job.
- Thirty seconds left.
352
00:18:44,805 --> 00:18:45,971
{\an8}Keep going, don't stop,
353
00:18:46,038 --> 00:18:48,371
{\an8}- all the way to the finish line.
- Are you gonna set a record?
354
00:18:48,438 --> 00:18:51,171
{\an8}- You got this, 45 wings.
- All the way to the finish line.
355
00:18:52,405 --> 00:18:55,538
{\an8}- The pride of America, at this table.
- Twenty seconds left!
356
00:18:56,271 --> 00:18:57,838
{\an8}Are they catching up?
357
00:18:57,905 --> 00:19:00,505
{\an8}- They can pound those.
- Come on, guys. Got 15 seconds.
358
00:19:00,571 --> 00:19:02,138
{\an8}I can sub in for you guys.
359
00:19:03,205 --> 00:19:07,871
{\an8}Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
360
00:19:07,938 --> 00:19:12,571
{\an8}five, four, three, two, one.
361
00:19:12,638 --> 00:19:14,805
{\an8}It's over! It's over!
362
00:19:14,871 --> 00:19:17,238
{\an8}Hands up, hands up!
363
00:19:17,305 --> 00:19:20,805
{\an8}Wow! What a demonstration
of wing-eating prowess.
364
00:19:20,871 --> 00:19:23,338
{\an8}- Oh, my gosh, Rob.
- I have never seen anything like it.
365
00:19:23,405 --> 00:19:24,238
{\an8}Ever.
366
00:19:24,305 --> 00:19:27,871
{\an8}Matt Stonie in a cold sweat on a hot day.
367
00:19:28,438 --> 00:19:31,205
{\an8}- Oh, my God, you look terrible.
- He's still chewing.
368
00:19:31,271 --> 00:19:32,838
{\an8}You look terrible.
369
00:19:32,905 --> 00:19:33,938
{\an8}I feel terrible.
370
00:19:34,005 --> 00:19:36,538
{\an8}Oh, you feel terrible?
But you won, my man.
371
00:19:36,605 --> 00:19:37,905
{\an8}- Yeah.
- You won.
372
00:19:37,971 --> 00:19:39,671
{\an8}Let's hear it for Matt Stonie.
373
00:19:39,738 --> 00:19:42,171
{\an8}Matt, I am so impressed.
374
00:19:43,571 --> 00:19:44,471
{\an8}Okay.
375
00:19:45,105 --> 00:19:47,405
{\an8}Nikki, do you want to tell them
what happened here?
376
00:19:47,471 --> 00:19:50,638
{\an8}- I... Okay.
- I'm still piecing it together myself.
377
00:19:50,705 --> 00:19:53,038
{\an8}So officially, the winner,
378
00:19:53,105 --> 00:19:57,238
{\an8}with 53 wings in three minutes,
379
00:19:57,305 --> 00:20:00,471
{\an8}- is Matt Stonie!
- What?!
380
00:20:01,238 --> 00:20:03,171
{\an8}Yes!
381
00:20:04,138 --> 00:20:05,971
{\an8}Just gotta stick to swimming, right?
382
00:20:06,038 --> 00:20:10,405
{\an8}Guys, our Olympians, our challengers,
383
00:20:10,471 --> 00:20:12,738
our national pride and joy,
384
00:20:13,471 --> 00:20:15,771
medalists all, what did you come in at?
385
00:20:15,838 --> 00:20:17,838
- Thirty-two wings, something like that?
- Thirty-six.
386
00:20:17,905 --> 00:20:19,638
- Thirty-six wings!
- Thirty-six wings.
387
00:20:19,705 --> 00:20:21,171
That's 12 a-piece.
388
00:20:21,238 --> 00:20:24,305
I could even do the math on that.
That's 12 a-piece in three minutes.
389
00:20:24,371 --> 00:20:28,371
Still, where I come from, very respectable
but not against Matt Stonie, guys.
390
00:20:28,438 --> 00:20:30,738
- He is a legend in the biz.
- He's an absolute animal.
391
00:20:30,805 --> 00:20:31,805
He's an absolute animal.
392
00:20:31,871 --> 00:20:34,638
I didn't even look over there,
but looking at his bowl, it's ridiculous.
393
00:20:34,705 --> 00:20:37,605
It was literally insane to watch.
I've never seen anything like it.
394
00:20:37,671 --> 00:20:39,871
- I just brought my A-game.
- You represented well.
395
00:20:39,938 --> 00:20:41,871
- We appreciate that.
- Brought your A-game for sure.
396
00:20:43,605 --> 00:20:45,738
All right, guys. Nikki?
397
00:20:45,805 --> 00:20:48,105
You know what?
I think we're done out here for now.
398
00:20:48,171 --> 00:20:49,905
I say we go back to Chris and Cari.
399
00:20:49,971 --> 00:20:52,438
- There you go. There you go.
- What do you got?
400
00:20:52,505 --> 00:20:54,271
My goodness!
401
00:20:54,338 --> 00:20:56,571
I wasn't prepared. I wasn't prepared.
402
00:20:56,638 --> 00:20:59,205
All I have to say,
Matt Stonie, you're amazing.
403
00:20:59,271 --> 00:21:02,705
{\an8}Next time, we'll call Michael Phelps or
Katie Ledecky to run the last leg of that.
404
00:21:02,771 --> 00:21:04,971
{\an8}Clearly,
'cause the Olympians couldn't do it.
405
00:21:05,105 --> 00:21:07,571
{\an8}We were thinking about competitive eating
being an Olympic sport,
406
00:21:07,638 --> 00:21:10,005
{\an8}but I don't know if that's the case
anymore after seeing that.
407
00:21:10,071 --> 00:21:11,638
{\an8}Maybe more so, actually.
408
00:21:11,705 --> 00:21:14,605
{\an8}Hey, Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut
both mentioned it.
409
00:21:14,671 --> 00:21:16,471
{\an8}They wanna do it, 2028.
410
00:21:16,538 --> 00:21:18,671
{\an8}Joey was like,
"I'll be on the team if they'll have me."
411
00:21:18,738 --> 00:21:20,171
{\an8}- "If"?
- I think you're good.
412
00:21:20,238 --> 00:21:21,205
{\an8}I think they're good too.
413
00:21:21,271 --> 00:21:23,771
{\an8}Meanwhile,
you bring up Kobayashi and Joey Chestnut
414
00:21:23,838 --> 00:21:26,671
{\an8}thinking about being
an Olympic sport, competitive eating.
415
00:21:26,738 --> 00:21:28,105
{\an8}I wanna talk about Kobayashi.
416
00:21:28,171 --> 00:21:30,371
{\an8}He's considered
the godfather of competitive eating...
417
00:21:30,438 --> 00:21:32,071
{\an8}- Mm-hmm.
- ...because of his innovative style.
418
00:21:32,138 --> 00:21:33,305
{\an8}He's done things before
419
00:21:33,371 --> 00:21:35,705
{\an8}that so many people
have never been able to see.
420
00:21:35,771 --> 00:21:37,871
{\an8}So I wanna take you back,
so you can understand
421
00:21:37,938 --> 00:21:39,938
{\an8}the mental and physical preparedness
422
00:21:40,005 --> 00:21:43,671
{\an8}that Kobayashi has put into this sport,
and the type of eater that he is.
423
00:21:43,738 --> 00:21:44,571
Take a listen.
424
00:21:45,071 --> 00:21:50,005
The most decorated eater
in history. It's Kobayashi!
425
00:21:50,071 --> 00:21:52,638
Well, this is true of any sport,
426
00:21:52,705 --> 00:21:59,238
but the thing that people
most want to see is who's the best.
427
00:21:59,305 --> 00:22:03,705
And personally, I believe I became
number one in the world.
428
00:22:06,138 --> 00:22:09,338
In 2001,
at just 23 years old, Takeru Kobayashi
429
00:22:09,405 --> 00:22:11,138
first emerged on the scene.
430
00:22:11,205 --> 00:22:13,638
A new world record, unbelievable.
431
00:22:13,705 --> 00:22:16,971
And revolutionized
the world of competitive eating.
432
00:22:17,038 --> 00:22:20,271
Never have we seen
that many hot dogs in 12 minutes.
433
00:22:20,338 --> 00:22:22,071
Turning it from a local competition
434
00:22:22,138 --> 00:22:24,171
into a world-renowned sport.
435
00:22:24,738 --> 00:22:28,305
{\an8}Meet Takeru Kobayashi,
the world's fastest eater.
436
00:22:28,371 --> 00:22:32,071
Until an unknown rookie
named Joey Chestnut entered the scene,
437
00:22:32,138 --> 00:22:34,205
determined to take him down.
438
00:22:34,738 --> 00:22:37,705
I thought Chestnut
would get stronger at some point
439
00:22:37,771 --> 00:22:40,105
and become a rival in the future.
440
00:22:40,171 --> 00:22:44,071
But at that point,
I didn't see a rival yet.
441
00:22:44,571 --> 00:22:47,171
Kobayashi and Chestnut battled for years,
442
00:22:47,238 --> 00:22:48,638
pushing one another to their limits,
443
00:22:48,705 --> 00:22:52,938
resulting in a devastating injury
to Kobayashi's jaw.
444
00:22:53,005 --> 00:22:56,705
That is the width that he can open
his jaw right now.
445
00:22:56,771 --> 00:22:58,971
My performance level declined.
446
00:22:59,038 --> 00:23:03,805
{\an8}In first place, with 66 hot dogs and buns,
447
00:23:03,871 --> 00:23:07,805
{\an8}Joey Chestnut!
448
00:23:09,471 --> 00:23:11,305
{\an8}They competed for two more years,
449
00:23:11,371 --> 00:23:13,405
{\an8}with Chestnut
successfully defending his title.
450
00:23:13,471 --> 00:23:14,471
{\an8}Chestnut!
451
00:23:15,038 --> 00:23:17,138
{\an8}Just before the 2010 hot dog contest,
452
00:23:17,205 --> 00:23:18,905
{\an8}Kobayashi refused to sign
453
00:23:18,971 --> 00:23:21,471
an exclusive deal
with Major League Eating,
454
00:23:21,538 --> 00:23:24,005
and in turn was banned from the stage.
455
00:23:24,071 --> 00:23:27,605
But after that, even though
I wasn't allowed to enter the contest,
456
00:23:27,671 --> 00:23:29,305
I went to the venue.
457
00:23:29,371 --> 00:23:32,471
I got swept up in the moment,
and the next thing I know,
458
00:23:32,538 --> 00:23:34,205
I'd climbed onto the stage.
459
00:23:34,271 --> 00:23:36,538
{\an8}Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi
460
00:23:36,605 --> 00:23:37,638
{\an8}was detained by police
461
00:23:37,705 --> 00:23:40,338
after storming the stage
at the annual contest
462
00:23:40,405 --> 00:23:43,038
following a contractual dispute
with organizers.
463
00:23:43,971 --> 00:23:46,305
In the nearly 15 years since being banned
464
00:23:46,371 --> 00:23:48,238
from Nathan's Hot Dog Contest,
465
00:23:48,305 --> 00:23:52,138
Kobayashi has continued
to be dominant in other competitions.
466
00:23:53,238 --> 00:23:54,471
Kobayashi!
467
00:23:54,538 --> 00:23:57,638
But despite
his continued success, he remains focused
468
00:23:57,705 --> 00:24:01,238
- on regaining the title that matters most.
- Joey Chestnut!
469
00:24:01,305 --> 00:24:04,638
Chestnut is my bigger rival,
470
00:24:04,705 --> 00:24:11,471
therefore the purpose of this challenge
is to determine
471
00:24:11,538 --> 00:24:16,438
who holds the title of the world's
greatest competitive eater.
472
00:24:16,505 --> 00:24:18,871
I truly believe that I will win.
473
00:24:18,938 --> 00:24:21,805
Here we are, folks.
474
00:24:21,871 --> 00:24:26,905
Back inside the HyperX Arena,
we are ready for The Innovator.
475
00:24:26,971 --> 00:24:31,905
It is time to take a look
at Kobayashi in his dressing room,
476
00:24:31,971 --> 00:24:34,171
prepared, locked in.
477
00:24:34,238 --> 00:24:35,738
He's got his sandals on.
478
00:24:35,805 --> 00:24:39,238
I don't know if he's using those
in the competition, Chris.
479
00:24:39,305 --> 00:24:41,771
- That's always a fun thing.
- Yeah, always a fun thing.
480
00:24:41,838 --> 00:24:44,771
He's always got a different look,
he is hip-hoppy,
481
00:24:44,838 --> 00:24:46,405
he is fun, he is energetic,
482
00:24:46,471 --> 00:24:48,371
- and he has missed the limelight.
- He has.
483
00:24:48,438 --> 00:24:52,938
He's been competing in other stuff,
but never right in front of center stage,
484
00:24:53,005 --> 00:24:55,205
- with Joey Chestnut next to him.
- Yeah.
485
00:24:55,271 --> 00:24:57,638
- There's a lot on the line for him.
- The story line is this.
486
00:24:57,705 --> 00:24:59,638
We talked about the jaw injury.
He talked about it.
487
00:24:59,705 --> 00:25:02,238
He said he didn't like the fact
that Joey thought he was lying,
488
00:25:02,305 --> 00:25:04,905
and he said he's been able to deal
with this jaw injury,
489
00:25:04,971 --> 00:25:06,505
but he's back to redeem himself.
490
00:25:06,571 --> 00:25:10,338
There is some narrative
around the way he left the sport.
491
00:25:10,405 --> 00:25:13,005
Oh, yeah. Joey thought for 10 or 15 years,
492
00:25:13,071 --> 00:25:15,838
"He didn't want to face me,
so he came up with this jaw thing."
493
00:25:15,905 --> 00:25:17,838
- He mentioned that to us this weekend.
- Yeah.
494
00:25:17,905 --> 00:25:21,705
It is still bubbling over as we are now
less than about 22 minutes away...
495
00:25:21,771 --> 00:25:23,338
- I cannot wait.
- ...from the main event.
496
00:25:23,405 --> 00:25:26,138
- The people in here are ready for it.
- Are you all already?
497
00:25:26,205 --> 00:25:27,071
{\an8}Whoo!
498
00:25:27,138 --> 00:25:30,905
{\an8}- All right! It's getting loud out here.
- It's getting wild!
499
00:25:30,971 --> 00:25:34,205
{\an8}Oh, yeah. Okay, listen.
Let's dive right in.
500
00:25:34,271 --> 00:25:38,805
{\an8}Joining us now, one of UK's
most famous competitive eaters,
501
00:25:38,871 --> 00:25:42,638
{\an8}who currently holds
23 Guinness World Record titles.
502
00:25:42,705 --> 00:25:46,905
{\an8}She's basically wrote the book
on how to break eating records,
503
00:25:46,971 --> 00:25:50,771
and would eat that book
if it meant getting another record.
504
00:25:50,838 --> 00:25:53,971
Please welcome Leah Shutkever!
505
00:25:56,738 --> 00:25:59,338
{\an8}- Hi!
- Hello! Hello!
506
00:25:59,405 --> 00:26:00,905
All right!
507
00:26:01,771 --> 00:26:05,238
Okay, Leah, we are so excited
to have you today.
508
00:26:05,305 --> 00:26:09,205
Obviously, we all know
that you have broken a ton of records.
509
00:26:09,271 --> 00:26:10,105
A few.
510
00:26:10,171 --> 00:26:13,271
So, which would you say
is the most difficult to achieve?
511
00:26:13,338 --> 00:26:16,271
I have attempted so many records,
512
00:26:16,338 --> 00:26:19,638
{\an8}and I've broken
34 Guinness World Record titles.
513
00:26:19,705 --> 00:26:20,938
{\an8}Thirty-four?!
514
00:26:21,005 --> 00:26:23,905
{\an8}Every single one has
its own complexities and difficulties,
515
00:26:23,971 --> 00:26:26,038
but I would say the most difficult one
516
00:26:26,105 --> 00:26:29,071
off the top of my head
would be the fastest time
517
00:26:29,138 --> 00:26:31,371
to drink a liter of gravy.
518
00:26:31,438 --> 00:26:36,105
But you have to drink it through a straw.
519
00:26:37,871 --> 00:26:41,571
- Wait, the suction, that's insane!
- Yeah. The suction is insane. Correct.
520
00:26:41,638 --> 00:26:44,971
Guinness Records is all-encompassing.
They really cover every record possible.
521
00:26:45,038 --> 00:26:47,305
They do. No wonder the book
keeps getting bigger.
522
00:26:47,371 --> 00:26:50,071
- Gravy through a straw! A liter!
- I mean, wow!
523
00:26:50,138 --> 00:26:52,638
All right, well,
Leah, today you are going to attempt
524
00:26:52,705 --> 00:26:56,105
to set another
Guinness World Record title right here,
525
00:26:56,171 --> 00:26:59,738
- live on Netflix.
- Yes! Yes!
526
00:27:04,471 --> 00:27:10,005
As you can see, today, Leah faces
her greatest adversary to date.
527
00:27:10,071 --> 00:27:11,805
Big-ass watermelons.
528
00:27:12,805 --> 00:27:15,771
And to make sure
everything is done officially,
529
00:27:15,838 --> 00:27:19,805
we have our Guinness World Records
adjudicator, Hannah Ortman.
530
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:21,705
- Oh, yeah!
- Welcome, Hannah.
531
00:27:21,771 --> 00:27:23,805
Okay, Leah.
532
00:27:23,871 --> 00:27:29,171
So, Leah, you can take a seat,
and we'll get ready to set that record.
533
00:27:29,238 --> 00:27:30,871
- Let's do it.
- We know you can do it.
534
00:27:30,938 --> 00:27:32,938
You got this. Yes.
535
00:27:33,538 --> 00:27:36,938
Leah, you are attempting
the Guinness World Record title
536
00:27:37,005 --> 00:27:38,971
for the most watermelon eaten
537
00:27:39,038 --> 00:27:40,138
{\an8}in three minutes.
538
00:27:40,205 --> 00:27:45,671
{\an8}The minimum amount to consume
is 1750 grams.
539
00:27:45,738 --> 00:27:48,471
{\an8}Do you understand the rules,
and are you ready?
540
00:27:51,771 --> 00:27:52,905
Yes, I'm ready.
541
00:27:52,971 --> 00:27:56,471
For the Americans in the audience,
1750 grams is 4 pounds.
542
00:27:56,538 --> 00:27:59,671
- Oh, good. I was gonna say.
- For the record...
543
00:28:00,671 --> 00:28:04,171
three, two, one, go.
544
00:28:04,238 --> 00:28:06,738
{\an8}Yes, you got this, Leah! Come on!
545
00:28:06,805 --> 00:28:11,338
{\an8}- Go! Go! She's going for it!
- Oh, my God! that is insane!
546
00:28:11,405 --> 00:28:12,605
{\an8}She's going for it!
547
00:28:12,671 --> 00:28:14,605
{\an8}You got it, Leah. You got it.
548
00:28:15,605 --> 00:28:17,738
{\an8}- Wow! Wow!
- Come on, Leah.
549
00:28:18,505 --> 00:28:20,505
{\an8}Oh, my gosh. I'm amazed.
550
00:28:20,571 --> 00:28:24,071
{\an8}- That's one! That's one!
- That's one. It's already gone.
551
00:28:25,605 --> 00:28:28,571
{\an8}- Four hundred grams down.
- That was amazing.
552
00:28:28,638 --> 00:28:32,971
{\an8}I can't believe what I'm seeing!
The juice is dripping off her elbow!
553
00:28:33,038 --> 00:28:34,105
{\an8}That is crazy.
554
00:28:34,171 --> 00:28:36,905
{\an8}Band, let's hear it, band! Come on, band!
555
00:28:36,971 --> 00:28:39,205
{\an8}Look at that pace! Look at that pace!
556
00:28:39,271 --> 00:28:41,538
{\an8}This is crazy.
I've never seen anything like this.
557
00:28:41,605 --> 00:28:43,538
{\an8}- That's two. That's two.
- Two.
558
00:28:43,605 --> 00:28:48,238
{\an8}She's had two down.
We are almost at 2 minutes, 15 seconds.
559
00:28:48,305 --> 00:28:50,405
{\an8}- Eight hundred grams even.
- That's 800 grams.
560
00:28:50,471 --> 00:28:52,638
{\an8}She just finished 800 grams, Nikki.
561
00:28:52,705 --> 00:28:55,805
{\an8}- Could you do 800 grams? No.
- No. No.
562
00:28:57,071 --> 00:28:58,771
{\an8}Come on, Leah. You got this.
563
00:28:58,838 --> 00:29:01,071
{\an8}- She's slowing.
- Look how focused she is.
564
00:29:01,138 --> 00:29:03,605
{\an8}She's taking pauses
to catch her breath, I assume.
565
00:29:03,671 --> 00:29:04,971
{\an8}Eat those melons!
566
00:29:05,105 --> 00:29:07,838
{\an8}- We're almost at two minutes...
- I don't know if it's fatigue or pacing.
567
00:29:07,905 --> 00:29:11,105
{\an8}I don't know if it's a strategy.
I don't know...
568
00:29:12,005 --> 00:29:14,205
{\an8}That's 1200 grams eaten.
She's just hit 1200.
569
00:29:14,271 --> 00:29:17,805
{\an8}- 1200 grams even, everyone!
- She's at 1200 grams.
570
00:29:17,871 --> 00:29:22,438
{\an8}- Go! Go, Leah, go!
- A minute, 45. You got it, Leah.
571
00:29:22,505 --> 00:29:25,671
{\an8}These are the blackout moments
she talks about. She's in the zone.
572
00:29:25,738 --> 00:29:28,405
{\an8}She does blackout
when she goes into these competitions,
573
00:29:28,471 --> 00:29:31,371
{\an8}- She's in a total blackout phase now.
- Total blackout phase.
574
00:29:31,438 --> 00:29:33,271
{\an8}She doesn't even know we're here.
575
00:29:34,571 --> 00:29:39,538
{\an8}- She's at 1600 grams!
- Sixteen hundred grams!
576
00:29:39,605 --> 00:29:41,671
{\an8}We are dangerously close to the record.
577
00:29:41,738 --> 00:29:45,005
{\an8}A minute, 20 left. A minute, 20 left.
578
00:29:45,071 --> 00:29:48,305
{\an8}A minute, 20 left.
Plenty of time. Plenty of time.
579
00:29:49,238 --> 00:29:51,505
{\an8}Plenty of time for records to be broken.
580
00:29:52,605 --> 00:29:55,505
{\an8}- Almost at one minutes.
- Closing in on one minute.
581
00:29:55,571 --> 00:29:57,605
{\an8}I think she'll finish before.
582
00:29:59,905 --> 00:30:02,038
{\an8}Two thousand grams!
583
00:30:02,105 --> 00:30:06,238
{\an8}Two thousand grams!
I think we're there. I think we're there.
584
00:30:06,305 --> 00:30:09,205
{\an8}- One minute left!
- One minute left!
585
00:30:09,271 --> 00:30:10,371
{\an8}One minute left!
586
00:30:12,305 --> 00:30:14,438
{\an8}- You've got this!
- Oh, she's struggling.
587
00:30:14,505 --> 00:30:16,871
{\an8}She's struggling. You got this, Leah.
588
00:30:16,938 --> 00:30:20,205
{\an8}- She's doing it! She's cruising.
- You got it.
589
00:30:20,271 --> 00:30:22,971
{\an8}It's like a tease.
It's like a true champion.
590
00:30:24,271 --> 00:30:26,138
{\an8}Yes! Yes!
591
00:30:26,205 --> 00:30:29,171
{\an8}Okay, do not let the clock
run out. You've gotta finish this.
592
00:30:29,238 --> 00:30:31,271
{\an8}That's all. That's all there is!
593
00:30:31,338 --> 00:30:35,405
{\an8}- Thirty seconds left! Thirty seconds!
- With 30 seconds to spare.
594
00:30:36,205 --> 00:30:38,971
{\an8}- Twenty-four hundred grams eaten.
- Oh, my God!
595
00:30:39,038 --> 00:30:40,905
{\an8}There's nothing left on her tray!
596
00:30:40,971 --> 00:30:44,671
{\an8}Oh, but we gotta let the clock run.
We gotta let it run.
597
00:30:44,738 --> 00:30:47,205
{\an8}- We gotta let it run.
- Is that right, Hannah? Okay.
598
00:30:47,271 --> 00:30:49,738
{\an8}- Fifteen seconds left.
- You want to drink the juice...?
599
00:30:49,805 --> 00:30:52,605
{\an8}- I'm not allowed to.
- Oh, that was amazing.
600
00:30:52,671 --> 00:30:54,538
{\an8}- Amazing.
- That was incredible. Amazing.
601
00:30:54,605 --> 00:30:58,971
{\an8}Ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
602
00:30:59,038 --> 00:31:02,571
{\an8}five, four, three, two, one!
603
00:31:02,638 --> 00:31:05,971
{\an8}Yes! Yes!
604
00:31:07,305 --> 00:31:10,805
{\an8}- Leah! Oh, my goodness!
- Leah Shutkever!
605
00:31:10,871 --> 00:31:14,138
You don't want to touch me.
We can like air...
606
00:31:14,205 --> 00:31:17,471
Okay, so Hannah right now
is going to take a moment
607
00:31:17,538 --> 00:31:19,538
to sort out things officially, of course.
608
00:31:19,605 --> 00:31:22,005
That's right. It's Guinness.
They do things very efficiently.
609
00:31:22,071 --> 00:31:23,105
Very efficiently.
610
00:31:23,171 --> 00:31:25,971
She's weighing it in,
she's got a calculator and a clipboard.
611
00:31:26,038 --> 00:31:27,338
That makes everything official.
612
00:31:27,405 --> 00:31:29,538
It does.
Leah, how are you feeling?
613
00:31:29,605 --> 00:31:31,238
I feel hydrated.
614
00:31:31,305 --> 00:31:34,238
I'm the most hydrated person
around this pool right now.
615
00:31:34,305 --> 00:31:36,471
They don't have
a lot of watermelons in the UK.
616
00:31:36,538 --> 00:31:38,338
They don't have any citrus
as far as I know.
617
00:31:38,905 --> 00:31:42,871
- That's why they call you Limeys.
- I don't know what to say! Yes, we do.
618
00:31:42,938 --> 00:31:45,471
- No...
- It's imported. Okay.
619
00:31:46,105 --> 00:31:47,638
This is fantastic.
620
00:31:47,705 --> 00:31:49,205
Do you have a nickname?
621
00:31:49,271 --> 00:31:51,305
I'm thinking,
"The British Boa Constrictor,"
622
00:31:51,371 --> 00:31:52,805
the way you took that down.
623
00:31:52,871 --> 00:31:54,405
I...
624
00:31:55,671 --> 00:31:58,771
- Right? I mean, it should be.
- I'm sticking with that.
625
00:31:58,838 --> 00:32:00,338
But how are you going to feel
626
00:32:00,405 --> 00:32:04,138
when we find out in a few moments
that you set this record?
627
00:32:04,205 --> 00:32:08,105
- How will you feel if you did it?
- My adrenaline is going crazy.
628
00:32:08,171 --> 00:32:11,771
I anticipate tears.
I'm hoping no tears, but there could be.
629
00:32:11,838 --> 00:32:13,938
- Number 34.
- Thirty-five.
630
00:32:14,005 --> 00:32:17,971
- Thirty-five!
- Her 35th Guinness World Record.
631
00:32:18,038 --> 00:32:20,838
- If Hannah says.
- If.
632
00:32:20,905 --> 00:32:23,705
- We have to wait for the official judge.
- Ready to give us the news?
633
00:32:23,771 --> 00:32:24,971
{\an8}I am ready.
634
00:32:25,038 --> 00:32:28,138
{\an8}Oh, boy. Here we go.
The official announcement from Hannah.
635
00:32:28,205 --> 00:32:32,005
{\an8}Leah, today you attempted
the Guinness World Records title
636
00:32:32,071 --> 00:32:35,171
for the most watermelon eaten
in three minutes.
637
00:32:35,238 --> 00:32:39,705
{\an8}The number to beat is 1750 grams.
638
00:32:40,738 --> 00:32:47,405
{\an8}Today, you achieved
a total of 2000.56 grams.
639
00:32:49,738 --> 00:32:51,205
{\an8}Yeah!
640
00:32:52,005 --> 00:32:53,471
Yes!
641
00:32:53,538 --> 00:32:55,971
Oh, my God.
642
00:32:56,571 --> 00:33:01,071
- That's amazing!
- Congratulations. You set another record.
643
00:33:01,138 --> 00:33:04,171
- You are officially amazing.
- She's so badass.
644
00:33:04,238 --> 00:33:06,205
- Thank you.
- Congratulations.
645
00:33:06,271 --> 00:33:08,071
- Let's hear it for Leah!
- Amazing!
646
00:33:08,138 --> 00:33:10,471
- Absolutely amazing!
- Oh, my gosh.
647
00:33:10,538 --> 00:33:11,971
Hold on one second.
648
00:33:13,938 --> 00:33:17,738
- Yes!
- Leah, don't eat this.
649
00:33:17,805 --> 00:33:19,405
- Don't...
- Okay.
650
00:33:19,471 --> 00:33:22,371
Oh, my gosh. A special thanks
to Guinness World Records,
651
00:33:22,438 --> 00:33:24,705
who has a new book coming out this fall.
652
00:33:24,771 --> 00:33:28,638
That's right. I hope to break the record
for most free copies received!
653
00:33:28,705 --> 00:33:30,205
- Yes.
- Back to you, Chris and Cari.
654
00:33:30,271 --> 00:33:34,271
Wait. Oh, my goodness.
I'm crying. I'm crying laughing.
655
00:33:34,338 --> 00:33:38,305
Did you see how excited Nikki got?
Give Leah a napkin, please!
656
00:33:38,371 --> 00:33:40,938
It's the least you can do
after she breaks the world record.
657
00:33:41,005 --> 00:33:42,571
You know what's interesting about this?
658
00:33:42,638 --> 00:33:45,438
You're a competitive eater.
So you look at their physique.
659
00:33:45,505 --> 00:33:46,838
It's really counterintuitive
660
00:33:46,905 --> 00:33:49,705
thinking about someone
who eats large amounts of food.
661
00:33:49,771 --> 00:33:52,471
They are so physically in shape,
are they not?
662
00:33:52,538 --> 00:33:53,805
Leah was so stacked.
663
00:33:53,871 --> 00:33:57,838
It's incredible,
2000.56 grams of watermelon?
664
00:33:57,905 --> 00:34:01,238
- Let's give it up for her.
- That is a new world record.
665
00:34:01,305 --> 00:34:03,505
- I tell you...
- She looked good while doing so.
666
00:34:03,571 --> 00:34:05,505
I would put those all around my house,
667
00:34:05,571 --> 00:34:07,138
so when you open up that door, I'm all,
668
00:34:07,205 --> 00:34:10,505
"Yeah, I'm the Guinness World Record
in all this stuff." It was incredible.
669
00:34:10,571 --> 00:34:13,305
Speaking of preparing for the event,
we gotta talk about this.
670
00:34:13,371 --> 00:34:14,838
Joey and Kobi, speaking of fit,
671
00:34:14,905 --> 00:34:17,371
they train like no other,
like other athletes as well.
672
00:34:17,438 --> 00:34:20,171
But their training is a little different
from what you would think.
673
00:34:20,238 --> 00:34:22,338
- Mm-hmm.
- So let's take a look at what they use.
674
00:34:22,405 --> 00:34:27,071
We're talking jaw, tongue, and stomach
to get them prepared for today's event.
675
00:34:31,071 --> 00:34:32,738
My practices are intense.
676
00:34:33,838 --> 00:34:36,338
I always prepare myself
for the competition.
677
00:34:37,838 --> 00:34:40,338
I am the most strict person I know.
678
00:34:42,038 --> 00:34:46,005
If you talk to a cyclist,
somebody who rides in the Tour de France,
679
00:34:46,071 --> 00:34:47,971
they do more than just ride a bike.
680
00:34:49,505 --> 00:34:51,405
I don't just practice eating.
681
00:34:51,471 --> 00:34:54,471
I believe it's also important
to prepare my entire body.
682
00:34:54,538 --> 00:34:57,838
Swallowing is one of the most
important things in competitive eating.
683
00:34:58,805 --> 00:35:02,405
Raising my head while I'm sitting back
on a weight bench and swallowing in air.
684
00:35:05,305 --> 00:35:07,405
Right before a competition,
685
00:35:07,471 --> 00:35:09,571
I drink three gallons of water.
686
00:35:09,638 --> 00:35:12,271
Because liquid goes to the stomach fast,
687
00:35:12,338 --> 00:35:15,405
to train your stomach, water is the best.
688
00:35:17,738 --> 00:35:20,538
It's been said
I can treat myself like a beanie baby.
689
00:35:20,605 --> 00:35:24,338
I push the food down with my hand to help
it settle and make room for more food.
690
00:35:25,371 --> 00:35:30,005
I train inhaling
because it is a necessary movement
691
00:35:30,071 --> 00:35:31,805
when dropping food into your stomach.
692
00:35:32,871 --> 00:35:36,005
{\an8}I can use my Adam's apple
to make sure I'm going all the way down.
693
00:35:39,471 --> 00:35:41,238
The tongue has to move quickly.
694
00:35:41,305 --> 00:35:43,205
In order to do that,
695
00:35:43,271 --> 00:35:46,971
I have to make my tongue strong
by doing a lot of tongue stretches.
696
00:35:50,438 --> 00:35:53,205
I use exercise ball
for your jaw, molded to my front teeth.
697
00:35:54,705 --> 00:35:56,971
I love everything about it.
I love getting ready
698
00:35:57,038 --> 00:35:59,871
to put an obscene amount of food
inside of me.
699
00:36:00,705 --> 00:36:01,905
It's what I love doing.
700
00:36:06,271 --> 00:36:09,838
All right, to help us make some
sense of what these two are able to do,
701
00:36:09,905 --> 00:36:13,671
we are joined by former competitive eater,
Tim Janus.
702
00:36:13,738 --> 00:36:16,505
Eater X is with us.
Where is the face paint, man?
703
00:36:16,571 --> 00:36:17,838
I forgot, it got lost.
704
00:36:17,905 --> 00:36:18,871
- It got lost?
- Yeah.
705
00:36:18,938 --> 00:36:21,838
- We should ask our makeup people.
- I didn't think about that.
706
00:36:21,905 --> 00:36:22,938
So he is great.
707
00:36:23,005 --> 00:36:26,138
He has competed against both Kobayashi
and Joey Chestnut,
708
00:36:26,205 --> 00:36:28,971
six straight years,
top three finish at Nathan's.
709
00:36:29,038 --> 00:36:30,871
Okay, we just saw the training piece.
710
00:36:30,938 --> 00:36:34,038
Take us through what Kobayashi
has been doing the last few weeks
711
00:36:34,105 --> 00:36:35,638
to get prepared for this moment.
712
00:36:35,705 --> 00:36:37,905
The purpose of all this
is to stretch his stomach
713
00:36:37,971 --> 00:36:42,105
and teach those muscles that help
the swallowing to get better and faster.
714
00:36:42,171 --> 00:36:44,705
{\an8}So, Kobayashi,
for the last six months, he told me,
715
00:36:44,771 --> 00:36:47,405
{\an8}he's been doing two full practices
each week.
716
00:36:47,471 --> 00:36:49,771
That means he's cooking up
70, 80, 90 hot dogs
717
00:36:49,838 --> 00:36:51,305
and eating them all in 10 minutes,
718
00:36:51,371 --> 00:36:52,805
and he's also doing speed runs,
719
00:36:52,871 --> 00:36:55,771
trying to work on that first minute
and get his top pace up.
720
00:36:55,838 --> 00:36:59,138
That sounds like a ton. Is that unusual
training for something like this?
721
00:36:59,205 --> 00:37:02,171
{\an8}When you are training for an event
this big, that is not unusual.
722
00:37:02,238 --> 00:37:03,305
{\an8}What is Joey doing?
723
00:37:03,371 --> 00:37:06,405
{\an8}He's probably doing something similar,
at least one practice a week.
724
00:37:06,471 --> 00:37:10,271
{\an8}You saw in the package all those exercises
that are targeting those tiny muscles.
725
00:37:10,338 --> 00:37:12,805
{\an8}Okay, let's talk about
who has a competitive edge here.
726
00:37:12,871 --> 00:37:17,271
{\an8}Earlier, he gave us the tale of the tape,
65 pounds, there's that difference.
727
00:37:17,338 --> 00:37:19,338
{\an8}Who has the competitive edge
when it comes to eating?
728
00:37:19,405 --> 00:37:23,371
{\an8}Boy, when it comes to stomach capacity,
the edge goes to Joey.
729
00:37:23,438 --> 00:37:26,105
{\an8}That's going to be a big advantage
going down the stretch.
730
00:37:26,171 --> 00:37:28,971
{\an8}When it comes to creativity,
Kobayashi has the advantage.
731
00:37:29,038 --> 00:37:32,405
{\an8}He is known as a great innovator,
so we'll see what he brings to the table.
732
00:37:32,471 --> 00:37:35,405
{\an8}So it is an art out here.
He has used the Solomon Method before.
733
00:37:35,471 --> 00:37:36,838
{\an8}We are not going to see that.
734
00:37:36,905 --> 00:37:39,371
{\an8}The Kobi Shake, who knows
if that's going to make an appearance?
735
00:37:39,438 --> 00:37:41,538
{\an8}But you expect him to come up
with something today?
736
00:37:41,605 --> 00:37:44,271
{\an8}Well, I'm interested to see if he does,
737
00:37:44,338 --> 00:37:47,171
{\an8}and I know that's Joey's biggest concern,
is what will Kobayashi do?
738
00:37:47,238 --> 00:37:49,138
{\an8}And we'll find that out right away.
739
00:37:49,205 --> 00:37:51,138
{\an8}What about the legacy side of this thing?
740
00:37:51,205 --> 00:37:55,105
{\an8}Everybody thinks right now
Joey is one, Kobayashi is two.
741
00:37:55,171 --> 00:37:56,638
{\an8}Can that flip today?
742
00:37:56,705 --> 00:38:00,505
{\an8}It can. Joey is one.
He won three hot dog contests in a row.
743
00:38:00,571 --> 00:38:03,071
{\an8}- I think that's a pattern.
- While Kobayashi was there.
744
00:38:03,138 --> 00:38:06,971
{\an8}Yes. If he wins today, then there is
no question he remains number one.
745
00:38:07,038 --> 00:38:10,305
If Kobayashi wins,
I think he can change the narrative.
746
00:38:10,371 --> 00:38:12,105
But he has to win by more than a couple.
747
00:38:12,171 --> 00:38:15,238
Chris, I think with any battle of GOAT,
748
00:38:15,305 --> 00:38:18,871
there's always someone who says,
"Oh, but he didn't do it this way,
749
00:38:18,938 --> 00:38:21,738
and he didn't do that,
and he didn't eat in this era."
750
00:38:21,805 --> 00:38:25,205
Is there something that will say,
"This is it, they are done"?
751
00:38:25,271 --> 00:38:26,938
What does Joey need to do?
752
00:38:27,005 --> 00:38:29,871
- Oh, boy. To win this contest?
- Just to win.
753
00:38:29,938 --> 00:38:31,371
Joey has to outlast Kobayashi.
754
00:38:31,438 --> 00:38:34,138
He needs to get off to a good start.
He doesn't have to be leading.
755
00:38:34,205 --> 00:38:36,605
I think his capacity will allow him
to catch up.
756
00:38:36,671 --> 00:38:40,105
Kobayashi needs to get off
to a slightly faster start.
757
00:38:40,171 --> 00:38:42,138
He doesn't want to be trying to defend.
758
00:38:42,205 --> 00:38:44,771
He wants to have a big lead
going into his last minute.
759
00:38:44,838 --> 00:38:46,838
Finally, as a guy
who has done this, in ten seconds,
760
00:38:46,905 --> 00:38:50,271
how excited are you
and the competitive eating world overall?
761
00:38:50,338 --> 00:38:54,205
This is awesome. This is something
all of us have wanted to see for years.
762
00:38:54,271 --> 00:38:56,138
I know there's been talk of it for years,
763
00:38:56,205 --> 00:38:58,671
but to finally be here and to witness it
is incredible.
764
00:38:58,738 --> 00:39:01,471
I know you're excited.
Everybody else seems to be excited.
765
00:39:01,538 --> 00:39:02,805
- Are you guys excited?
- They are.
766
00:39:02,871 --> 00:39:05,171
You're excited. You guys are excited.
767
00:39:05,238 --> 00:39:08,238
Under eight minutes to go in this thing.
768
00:39:08,305 --> 00:39:11,705
You're going to stick around,
you're going to be here on the desk,
769
00:39:11,771 --> 00:39:15,405
breaking it down during the 10 minutes
of madness. We cannot wait.
770
00:39:15,471 --> 00:39:19,438
Of course, $100,000 is going to go
to the winner of this,
771
00:39:19,505 --> 00:39:21,738
but that's not all that's on the line.
Right, Rob Riggle?
772
00:39:21,805 --> 00:39:25,438
Oh, yeah. Oh, you got that right!
You got that right!
773
00:39:25,505 --> 00:39:29,471
The winner of today's battle will also
take home a one-of-a-kind trophy,
774
00:39:29,538 --> 00:39:35,538
and a championship title belt
designed by the WWE!
775
00:39:38,671 --> 00:39:42,371
I know. Everybody just got a first look.
I don't blame you. It's impressive.
776
00:39:42,438 --> 00:39:48,371
By the way, before I forget,
starting live in January on Netflix, WWE.
777
00:39:48,438 --> 00:39:50,271
Okay.
778
00:39:53,238 --> 00:39:54,605
And also, by the way, here,
779
00:39:54,671 --> 00:39:58,738
accompanying tonight's title belt
is our crack security team.
780
00:39:58,805 --> 00:40:03,505
Please welcome WWE Hall of Famer,
Rey Mysterio,
781
00:40:03,571 --> 00:40:07,805
and superstar Omos!
782
00:40:50,138 --> 00:40:52,505
Gentlemen, let me start over here, Rey.
783
00:40:53,538 --> 00:40:57,005
I'm looking at this belt.
This is a beautiful belt.
784
00:40:57,071 --> 00:40:58,838
Tell me about it if you would, please.
785
00:40:58,905 --> 00:41:01,638
- It's one-of-a-kind.
- It is one-of-a-kind. I can see that.
786
00:41:01,705 --> 00:41:04,171
To get this,
you need to do something special,
787
00:41:04,238 --> 00:41:06,405
like tonight, what's about to go down.
788
00:41:07,105 --> 00:41:09,138
I happened to notice, I couldn't help.
789
00:41:09,738 --> 00:41:13,338
I couldn't help but notice
you are wearing "Team Joey."
790
00:41:13,405 --> 00:41:14,838
- All the way.
- You're Team Joey?
791
00:41:14,905 --> 00:41:17,805
But you know what... Yeah, yeah, yeah.
792
00:41:18,538 --> 00:41:19,538
Rob...
793
00:41:20,838 --> 00:41:26,205
Joey! Joey! Joey!
Joey! Joey! Joey!
794
00:41:26,271 --> 00:41:30,405
Wow. You can't stop this crowd.
Fever pitch, fever pitch!
795
00:41:30,938 --> 00:41:35,005
{\an8}With all due respect,
we've got to give Kobayashi his credit.
796
00:41:35,071 --> 00:41:37,205
{\an8}He was the first to ever emerge
on the scene.
797
00:41:37,271 --> 00:41:38,105
{\an8}Yep.
798
00:41:38,171 --> 00:41:42,238
{\an8}But Chestnut has been dominating
this sport for the past decade.
799
00:41:42,305 --> 00:41:44,205
That's a good reason to back him.
800
00:41:44,771 --> 00:41:46,005
Who's winning tonight?
801
00:41:49,838 --> 00:41:51,705
Rey Mysterio, thank you for that.
802
00:41:53,271 --> 00:41:56,138
Now I turn to you, Omos.
803
00:41:56,738 --> 00:41:58,338
You know, I really could have used you
804
00:41:58,405 --> 00:42:01,571
a couple minutes ago when I was out
by the pool. I needed some shade.
805
00:42:03,571 --> 00:42:06,071
- Should've just asked.
- Yeah.
806
00:42:06,138 --> 00:42:09,705
I see you're wearing "Team Kobi," Omos!
Tell me what's going on!
807
00:42:09,771 --> 00:42:12,271
Come on, come on! Come on!
808
00:42:13,638 --> 00:42:16,638
Kobi! Kobi! Kobi!
809
00:42:16,705 --> 00:42:18,571
- You hear that? You hear that?
- I hear it.
810
00:42:18,638 --> 00:42:20,805
Of course it's Team Kobi, right?
811
00:42:20,871 --> 00:42:22,838
Come on, loud! Come on, come on, come on!
812
00:42:22,905 --> 00:42:27,071
Kobi! Kobi! Kobi! Kobi! Kobi!
813
00:42:27,138 --> 00:42:30,238
- Kobi! Kobi! Kobi! Kobi!
- Wow.
814
00:42:30,305 --> 00:42:31,705
- That's impressive.
- You hear that?
815
00:42:31,771 --> 00:42:35,238
I did hear that.
They heard it in the next state.
816
00:42:35,305 --> 00:42:37,838
That is a tsunami, what we just heard.
817
00:42:37,905 --> 00:42:39,538
- That is a tsunami.
- Right?
818
00:42:39,605 --> 00:42:43,871
Have you been a Kobayashi fan
from the get-go?
819
00:42:43,938 --> 00:42:46,705
- Absolutely, why not?
- No, okay, no, I love it.
820
00:42:46,771 --> 00:42:47,771
That's perfect to hear.
821
00:42:47,838 --> 00:42:49,638
- He is the tsunami of competitive eating.
- Yes.
822
00:42:49,705 --> 00:42:53,171
- I am the tsunami of the WWE.
- That's absolutely true.
823
00:42:53,238 --> 00:42:55,438
And I would agree with anything
you said at this moment.
824
00:42:55,505 --> 00:42:56,705
You better.
825
00:42:56,771 --> 00:42:58,138
- So, there you go.
- Good.
826
00:42:58,205 --> 00:43:01,238
There you have it!
The superstars have spoken!
827
00:43:01,905 --> 00:43:04,805
And yes, one is much taller
than the other one.
828
00:43:06,238 --> 00:43:10,038
We will find out which superstar
picked a winner very, very soon.
829
00:43:10,105 --> 00:43:13,638
It's almost time for the main event.
Isn't that right, Nikki?
830
00:43:13,705 --> 00:43:16,505
That is right!
We are almost ready.
831
00:43:17,171 --> 00:43:21,571
And the hot dogs
have entered the building!
832
00:43:21,638 --> 00:43:24,405
{\an8}- Look, here they are.
- Kobi! Kobi! Kobi!
833
00:43:24,471 --> 00:43:28,271
{\an8}- Kobi! Kobi! Kobi!
- Yes.
834
00:43:28,338 --> 00:43:33,638
{\an8}He is here too. But you guys, look!
These guys are like a NASCAR pit crew.
835
00:43:33,705 --> 00:43:38,805
There has been... 300 hot dogs
have been made for this main event.
836
00:43:38,871 --> 00:43:40,938
I would say that's a lot
of hot dogs, right?
837
00:43:43,671 --> 00:43:45,871
All right, back to you, Chris and Cari.
838
00:43:45,938 --> 00:43:48,338
All right, thank you very much.
Tim Janus still with us
839
00:43:48,405 --> 00:43:50,971
on the desk to lend his insight as well.
840
00:43:51,038 --> 00:43:55,005
So we are closing in on about
three minutes, Kobayashi and Chestnut.
841
00:43:55,071 --> 00:43:58,338
Fifteen years in the making.
So why in the world did it take so long?
842
00:43:58,405 --> 00:44:01,471
- Why did it take so long?
- In part, they had to agree on the rules.
843
00:44:01,538 --> 00:44:04,638
It wasn't easy. I think they both made
a little bit of saying,
844
00:44:04,705 --> 00:44:06,605
- "Okay, I'll give here, I'll give there."
- Sure.
845
00:44:06,671 --> 00:44:07,705
Let's run this thing down.
846
00:44:07,771 --> 00:44:09,771
A few of them are basic.
You are used to it.
847
00:44:09,838 --> 00:44:11,471
It's a 10-minute bout.
848
00:44:11,538 --> 00:44:15,938
The competitor who eats the most hot dogs
will be indeed declared the winner.
849
00:44:16,005 --> 00:44:19,805
There will be no separating
of meat from the bun.
850
00:44:19,871 --> 00:44:21,505
Also, no dunking.
851
00:44:21,571 --> 00:44:24,138
That is a big one
and that is a new one here.
852
00:44:24,205 --> 00:44:29,938
There will be fouls for infractions,
and also regurgitation or reversal.
853
00:44:30,505 --> 00:44:32,305
At the end of the time,
854
00:44:32,371 --> 00:44:36,005
both competitors will each have 30 seconds
to finish what is in their mouths.
855
00:44:36,071 --> 00:44:38,705
Unlike in the past, spilled food
will be weighed and may be deducted
856
00:44:38,771 --> 00:44:40,071
from each eater's total.
857
00:44:40,138 --> 00:44:42,971
In the event of a tie,
we will also go to overtime.
858
00:44:43,038 --> 00:44:44,705
We will explain that as well.
859
00:44:44,771 --> 00:44:47,138
In addition, we also have a team
of professional sports judges
860
00:44:47,205 --> 00:44:49,371
that are closely watching for infractions.
861
00:44:49,438 --> 00:44:50,905
The first one is a warning.
862
00:44:50,971 --> 00:44:53,971
The second one is a one hot dog violation.
863
00:44:54,038 --> 00:44:57,105
The other one, two hot dog violation.
864
00:44:57,171 --> 00:45:00,405
And if you have what is called
a reversal in your sport,
865
00:45:00,471 --> 00:45:02,938
that is indeed
a two hot dog violation as well.
866
00:45:03,005 --> 00:45:05,471
Did you ever think in your storied career...
867
00:45:05,538 --> 00:45:07,205
- Yes.
- ...you would be able to run down
868
00:45:07,271 --> 00:45:08,305
hot dog rules that way?
869
00:45:08,371 --> 00:45:11,905
Come on! It's all about flexibility
and the more you could do, you know that.
870
00:45:11,971 --> 00:45:15,238
All right, so real quickly,
about the rules, who do these favor?
871
00:45:15,305 --> 00:45:17,638
I think they favor Kobayashi a little bit.
872
00:45:17,705 --> 00:45:21,305
Although I think Joey has had so much time
to prepare that he has negated much of
873
00:45:21,371 --> 00:45:22,938
that advantage that they give Kobayashi.
874
00:45:23,005 --> 00:45:24,771
But Kobayashi, we have to remember,
875
00:45:24,838 --> 00:45:27,938
he did lose in a dunking contest
and now we're not dunking.
876
00:45:28,005 --> 00:45:30,438
For the folks at home and obviously
for the audience here,
877
00:45:30,505 --> 00:45:32,805
tell us what we should be looking
for the first few minutes.
878
00:45:32,871 --> 00:45:37,138
I think we want to see what Kobayashi's
pace is and what his technique is.
879
00:45:37,205 --> 00:45:39,271
And with Joey, we are hoping
he gets into a rhythm.
880
00:45:39,338 --> 00:45:41,705
Because when he's in rhythm,
he's almost unstoppable.
881
00:45:41,771 --> 00:45:44,871
All right, so the record,
at least for Joey Chestnut, is 76.
882
00:45:44,938 --> 00:45:47,038
- Is that going down today?
- I think it is.
883
00:45:47,105 --> 00:45:49,038
I've talked to both eaters.
I really believe it is.
884
00:45:49,105 --> 00:45:51,305
I think we're going to see records today.
885
00:45:51,371 --> 00:45:53,738
We're going to see the most
hot dogs eaten in the first minute
886
00:45:53,805 --> 00:45:55,438
and the most hot dogs eaten in 10 minutes.
887
00:45:55,505 --> 00:45:58,638
Yeah, that's awesome. You're ready,
you're ready, the world is ready.
888
00:45:58,705 --> 00:46:01,038
- I'm ready.
- I think Rob Riggle is ready as well.
889
00:46:01,105 --> 00:46:02,305
- Rob's ready.
- Sounds like it.
890
00:46:17,671 --> 00:46:19,271
Ladies and gentlemen,
891
00:46:19,338 --> 00:46:21,538
it's time for the main event!
892
00:46:22,271 --> 00:46:26,671
Are you ready to witness history?
893
00:46:33,038 --> 00:46:36,038
This is a rivalry 15 years in the making.
894
00:46:36,105 --> 00:46:37,738
They are the titans of the sport,
895
00:46:37,805 --> 00:46:41,171
the two greatest adversaries
to ever put food to mouth.
896
00:46:41,238 --> 00:46:43,971
Their battles have been
the stuff of legend,
897
00:46:44,038 --> 00:46:48,838
and they meet once again to settle
the score in front of the entire world.
898
00:46:48,905 --> 00:46:54,171
But only one can be crowned the Netflix
Unfinished Beef Hot Dog Champion.
899
00:46:55,405 --> 00:46:56,471
You know...
900
00:46:57,571 --> 00:46:58,805
you know they say...
901
00:47:00,771 --> 00:47:02,505
they say I have a big mouth.
902
00:47:03,438 --> 00:47:06,905
But it's nothing compared to these two!
So let's make some noise!
903
00:47:21,405 --> 00:47:23,571
This rematch has been
15 years in the making.
904
00:47:26,871 --> 00:47:29,505
Let's settle this beef once and for all.
905
00:47:34,571 --> 00:47:36,671
It's time to give the people
what they want.
906
00:47:48,705 --> 00:47:51,338
{\an8}Hailing from Westfield, Indiana,
907
00:47:51,405 --> 00:47:57,205
{\an8}standing at 6'1" and weighing in
at 222 pounds,
908
00:47:57,271 --> 00:47:58,271
give it up
909
00:47:58,338 --> 00:48:04,238
for Joey Chestnut!
910
00:48:33,705 --> 00:48:35,605
I'm here to win it all.
911
00:48:41,005 --> 00:48:43,071
I am the ultimate champion.
912
00:48:47,971 --> 00:48:49,305
It's time to eat.
913
00:49:00,538 --> 00:49:03,605
{\an8}Hailing from Nagano, Japan,
914
00:49:03,671 --> 00:49:09,271
{\an8}standing at 5'8"
and weighing in at 158 pounds,
915
00:49:09,338 --> 00:49:16,338
it's Takeru Kobayashi!
916
00:49:49,371 --> 00:49:53,271
Both of these competitors picked
the tracks in which they walked into.
917
00:49:53,338 --> 00:49:56,705
And how about the new look
for Kobayashi? Styling!
918
00:49:56,771 --> 00:49:59,571
He looks
as if he is ready for business.
919
00:49:59,638 --> 00:50:03,005
He had a head full of hair just yesterday,
and now it is cut short.
920
00:50:03,071 --> 00:50:04,538
What does that mean when you see that?
921
00:50:04,605 --> 00:50:08,471
Means he's ready for...
He came to play. He's all business today.
922
00:50:08,538 --> 00:50:10,438
I got the chills being here right now.
923
00:50:10,505 --> 00:50:14,905
Once again, Kobayashi has told us
this is his final competition.
924
00:50:14,971 --> 00:50:19,038
Win or lose, he's walking away,
but now he walks into this arena.
925
00:50:19,105 --> 00:50:22,438
You got the sights, the sounds.
It is sold out here.
926
00:50:22,505 --> 00:50:24,605
What do you think is going on
through his brain
927
00:50:24,671 --> 00:50:26,105
and his heart now, Tim?
928
00:50:26,171 --> 00:50:29,405
Right now, they are both trying
to calm themselves down and focus.
929
00:50:29,471 --> 00:50:32,038
I think they're both in a good place,
good state of mind.
930
00:50:32,105 --> 00:50:33,771
They are not thinking anything else.
931
00:50:33,838 --> 00:50:35,405
They are looking at their cups,
932
00:50:35,471 --> 00:50:37,538
making sure
the first one is in a good position.
933
00:50:37,605 --> 00:50:38,838
They're looking at the hot dogs,
934
00:50:38,905 --> 00:50:40,938
trying to figure out
if they are nice and hot.
935
00:50:41,005 --> 00:50:42,371
And they are just ready to go.
936
00:50:42,438 --> 00:50:44,738
Since Rob Riggle
is joining us on the desk,
937
00:50:44,805 --> 00:50:47,405
we're gonna do your old schtick
and each make predictions.
938
00:50:47,471 --> 00:50:48,838
I'm going to go first.
939
00:50:48,905 --> 00:50:50,805
Joey Chestnut, it's that simple.
940
00:50:50,871 --> 00:50:52,205
{\an8}Sixteen times at Nathan's,
941
00:50:52,271 --> 00:50:54,871
{\an8}now he's going to be
a one-time Netflix champion.
942
00:50:54,938 --> 00:50:57,838
{\an8}I'm going with Kobayashi.
He has my favorite athletes' names,
943
00:50:57,905 --> 00:50:58,971
{\an8}Kobi, simply said.
944
00:50:59,038 --> 00:51:02,438
{\an8}I think that it's always good to go
for the underdog. I want that story.
945
00:51:02,505 --> 00:51:06,471
{\an8}- All right. Tim Janus.
- I think the edge slightly goes to Joey.
946
00:51:06,538 --> 00:51:09,438
{\an8}I think it's going to be a close one,
but I think Joey wins this.
947
00:51:10,005 --> 00:51:13,038
{\an8}My heart is going with Kobayashi,
my money is going with Chestnut.
948
00:51:13,105 --> 00:51:15,271
{\an8}- Okay.
- Nikki Garcia, who do you have?
949
00:51:15,338 --> 00:51:19,005
{\an8}I gotta say, I'm on the wrong side,
but I'm going for Kobayashi.
950
00:51:19,071 --> 00:51:22,038
{\an8}He's here for revenge,
and he wants to take that GOAT spot back!
951
00:51:22,105 --> 00:51:26,905
{\an8}Wow, okay. So three of us have Kobayashi,
two have Chestnut.
952
00:51:26,971 --> 00:51:29,405
We are just about ready.
953
00:51:30,305 --> 00:51:34,705
Athletes are stepping forward.
Andrew Freund is our referee.
954
00:51:39,005 --> 00:51:41,205
You two sided with the Machete.
955
00:51:43,071 --> 00:51:44,805
- Yeah.
- All right. Thank you for that.
956
00:51:45,638 --> 00:51:48,838
So they have 30 seconds
to set themselves in place.
957
00:51:48,905 --> 00:51:50,171
Quickly, what are they doing?
958
00:51:50,238 --> 00:51:52,305
They want that first cup
in a good position
959
00:51:52,371 --> 00:51:55,605
because they will have to pick that up
and don't want to knock anything.
960
00:51:56,538 --> 00:52:00,471
They're also trying to feel that those
hot dogs are nice and hot, nice and fast.
961
00:52:01,271 --> 00:52:03,071
Joey Chestnut grabs one more sip.
962
00:52:03,138 --> 00:52:07,805
Once again, they can drink the liquid,
they cannot dunk the hot dogs.
963
00:52:07,871 --> 00:52:10,205
- So that is something...
- He's keeping that water.
964
00:52:10,271 --> 00:52:13,405
One hundred thousand dollars
on the line for the winner.
965
00:52:13,471 --> 00:52:14,571
This is happening.
966
00:52:14,638 --> 00:52:17,505
He's keeping that water
in his mouth to moisten the first bun.
967
00:52:18,038 --> 00:52:21,405
All right. Andrew Freund,
our referee is going to take it away.
968
00:52:25,338 --> 00:52:28,805
- We have 10 minutes on the clock.
- Kobi, we love you.
969
00:52:28,871 --> 00:52:32,905
The person who eats the most hot dogs
will be the champion.
970
00:52:33,405 --> 00:52:35,438
- Kobayashi, are you ready?
- Yes.
971
00:52:37,971 --> 00:52:39,771
Chestnut, ready?
972
00:52:46,771 --> 00:52:49,805
Kobi! Kobi! Kobi! Kobi!
973
00:52:49,871 --> 00:52:53,271
Ready, set, go!
974
00:52:53,871 --> 00:53:00,738
{\an8}We are live on Netflix and underway
as Chestnut and Kobayashi renew a rivalry.
975
00:53:00,805 --> 00:53:02,738
{\an8}First minute, Tim. What do we look for?
976
00:53:02,805 --> 00:53:05,905
{\an8}We are looking at the pace,
we're looking at Kobayashi's technique.
977
00:53:05,971 --> 00:53:08,671
{\an8}Is it different than Joey's?
Right now, it looks the same.
978
00:53:08,738 --> 00:53:13,338
{\an8}It's a real race to see who is better.
It's not anything... No creativity.
979
00:53:13,405 --> 00:53:15,305
{\an8}Kobayashi already with four each.
980
00:53:15,371 --> 00:53:20,971
{\an8}This is amazing. It is going
to be tit for tat the whole way.
981
00:53:21,538 --> 00:53:23,738
{\an8}Neither one
is gonna lift the foot off the gas.
982
00:53:23,805 --> 00:53:25,738
{\an8}Tim, you told us
water was the key here.
983
00:53:25,805 --> 00:53:28,171
{\an8}You were worried that Kobayashi
took up too much water
984
00:53:28,238 --> 00:53:32,471
{\an8}while Joey Chestnut said he was going
with extra water. That was his strategy.
985
00:53:32,538 --> 00:53:33,705
{\an8}What are you seeing now?
986
00:53:33,771 --> 00:53:37,671
{\an8}I think they're both going to
drink more water than in a normal contest.
987
00:53:37,738 --> 00:53:41,771
{\an8}Kobayashi has to be more careful
because he doesn't have the same capacity.
988
00:53:42,771 --> 00:53:44,871
{\an8}Look at this, 10 seconds to go.
989
00:53:44,938 --> 00:53:46,271
{\an8}In the first minute,
990
00:53:46,338 --> 00:53:49,371
{\an8}Joey Chestnut's record in the first minute
is 13 dogs
991
00:53:49,438 --> 00:53:50,871
{\an8}and he has reached it.
992
00:53:50,938 --> 00:53:54,705
{\an8}Kobayashi has reached his personal best
for the first minute as well.
993
00:53:54,771 --> 00:53:55,638
{\an8}But he is trailing.
994
00:53:55,705 --> 00:53:58,005
{\an8}These are both
fantastic first minutes.
995
00:53:58,071 --> 00:53:59,938
{\an8}They are ahead of their dunking pace.
996
00:54:00,005 --> 00:54:02,138
{\an8}Wow, this is intense!
997
00:54:02,205 --> 00:54:04,838
{\an8}This is like
a regular Riggle barbecue, isn't it?
998
00:54:04,905 --> 00:54:06,305
{\an8}Much more intense.
999
00:54:06,371 --> 00:54:08,671
{\an8}Now I understand why
they have glass separating them!
1000
00:54:08,738 --> 00:54:13,505
{\an8}There's going to be splashing, and food,
and things are flying around,
1001
00:54:13,571 --> 00:54:17,405
{\an8}liquids and buns and water, intensity.
1002
00:54:17,471 --> 00:54:19,105
{\an8}What does it feel like for you?
1003
00:54:19,171 --> 00:54:22,005
{\an8}With this live audience,
what does it feel like?
1004
00:54:22,071 --> 00:54:24,305
{\an8}You can't cut the tension.
You just can't.
1005
00:54:24,371 --> 00:54:27,071
{\an8}A machete, a chainsaw,
nothing is getting through it.
1006
00:54:27,138 --> 00:54:30,338
{\an8}It's palpable.
The room is electric right now.
1007
00:54:30,405 --> 00:54:32,838
{\an8}It is... It was...
I felt it when I was on stage.
1008
00:54:32,905 --> 00:54:36,205
{\an8}When the competitors came by,
you could feel them vibrating.
1009
00:54:36,271 --> 00:54:37,305
{\an8}- You could feel it?
- Yes.
1010
00:54:37,371 --> 00:54:39,571
{\an8}What about the haircut Kobayashi got?
1011
00:54:39,638 --> 00:54:44,271
{\an8}When I saw that... We just saw him
a day ago with a full mullet,
1012
00:54:44,338 --> 00:54:46,871
{\an8}long hair, looking good,
rock star-ish-level hair.
1013
00:54:47,405 --> 00:54:51,071
{\an8}And then he shaved it down.
The warrior is here.
1014
00:54:51,138 --> 00:54:55,305
{\an8}All right, look at this.
Joey Chestnut just surpassed it.
1015
00:54:55,371 --> 00:54:59,338
{\an8}His best two-minute mark ever.
He is at 25 through two minutes.
1016
00:54:59,905 --> 00:55:02,738
{\an8}I'm not surprised.
These guys don't limit themselves.
1017
00:55:02,805 --> 00:55:05,638
{\an8}They dream big
and they are able to achieve great things.
1018
00:55:05,705 --> 00:55:08,605
{\an8}Nobody would have thought
this was possible except for these two.
1019
00:55:08,671 --> 00:55:13,205
{\an8}Kobayashi is down about three dogs,
two-plus minutes into this.
1020
00:55:13,271 --> 00:55:15,105
{\an8}Bad sign, or can he make it up?
1021
00:55:15,171 --> 00:55:17,771
{\an8}It's not a great sign,
but he's not losing more ground.
1022
00:55:17,838 --> 00:55:19,538
{\an8}At least he is holding steady now.
1023
00:55:21,205 --> 00:55:25,771
{\an8}Two and a half minutes into this
bout, 15 years in the making.
1024
00:55:25,838 --> 00:55:31,971
{\an8}A six-time champion in Kobayashi,
a 16-time titleholder in Joey Chestnut.
1025
00:55:32,538 --> 00:55:33,405
{\an8}What?
1026
00:55:34,805 --> 00:55:38,905
{\an8}Nikki Garcia is hanging out
with Kobayashi's wife in his corner.
1027
00:55:38,971 --> 00:55:41,438
{\an8}- Maggie.
- Yes, I am here with Maggie.
1028
00:55:41,505 --> 00:55:43,038
{\an8}It feels super tense.
1029
00:55:43,105 --> 00:55:48,271
There's already tears, a lot of prayers,
but I feel the hope. I truly do.
1030
00:55:48,338 --> 00:55:50,271
{\an8}I think they know he has this.
1031
00:55:50,338 --> 00:55:53,771
{\an8}But the emotions are unreal.
Back to you, guys.
1032
00:55:53,838 --> 00:55:55,038
You can tell, Nikki.
1033
00:55:55,105 --> 00:55:58,438
{\an8}I know Maggie told us she'd be
standing there encouraging him,
1034
00:55:58,505 --> 00:56:01,405
{\an8}telling her husband where he is at,
where he is in the race,
1035
00:56:01,471 --> 00:56:02,671
{\an8}to keep going, don't stop.
1036
00:56:02,738 --> 00:56:05,705
{\an8}But she also said she'd tell him
to slow down and not hurt himself.
1037
00:56:05,771 --> 00:56:09,538
{\an8}I'm sure there's only one voice
that Kobayashi can hear at that moment.
1038
00:56:09,605 --> 00:56:11,571
{\an8}- The voice of his wife.
- That's right.
1039
00:56:11,638 --> 00:56:15,071
{\an8}So I hope that she is sending him
good vibes, giving him good information,
1040
00:56:15,138 --> 00:56:16,371
{\an8}which I'm sure she is.
1041
00:56:16,438 --> 00:56:18,605
{\an8}I can see the intensity right from here.
I can see...
1042
00:56:18,671 --> 00:56:20,505
{\an8}She is praying. She's literally praying.
1043
00:56:20,571 --> 00:56:22,405
{\an8}- Wow, wow.
- So, you know,
1044
00:56:22,471 --> 00:56:25,205
{\an8}the emotions are pure here and deep.
1045
00:56:26,205 --> 00:56:28,138
{\an8}Three and a half minutes into this.
1046
00:56:28,205 --> 00:56:32,771
{\an8}All right. Chestnut seems to be extending
his lead a little bit over Kobayashi.
1047
00:56:32,838 --> 00:56:34,738
{\an8}- What are you seeing?
- Just a little bit.
1048
00:56:34,805 --> 00:56:37,238
{\an8}Kobayashi told me yesterday
that his biggest fear,
1049
00:56:37,305 --> 00:56:40,138
{\an8}what he fears most about Joey,
is Joey's pace.
1050
00:56:40,205 --> 00:56:41,571
{\an8}Joey doesn't let up.
1051
00:56:41,638 --> 00:56:44,838
{\an8}He continues to go at a fast pace
the entire contest,
1052
00:56:44,905 --> 00:56:46,905
{\an8}and you're seeing that right now.
1053
00:56:46,971 --> 00:56:51,071
{\an8}This is the fastest four-minute
pace ever for Joey Chestnut.
1054
00:56:51,138 --> 00:56:55,371
{\an8}His record, and really the world record
of 76, hangs in the balance.
1055
00:56:55,438 --> 00:56:57,538
{\an8}- He can blow past that.
- I think he's going to.
1056
00:57:00,005 --> 00:57:04,071
{\an8}It's incredible. These two have ingested
more than 20,000 calories combined.
1057
00:57:04,138 --> 00:57:07,571
{\an8}- You do that on a weekend.
- That's a good weekend for me.
1058
00:57:07,638 --> 00:57:10,638
{\an8}If I'm back in Kansas City,
I'm eating barbecue, I'm about there.
1059
00:57:10,705 --> 00:57:12,605
{\an8}I'm around 20,000 calories.
1060
00:57:12,671 --> 00:57:14,405
{\an8}But I got to tell you,
I look at the numbers
1061
00:57:14,471 --> 00:57:16,405
{\an8}and I forget that those
are actual hot dogs.
1062
00:57:16,471 --> 00:57:17,371
{\an8}Not just numbers.
1063
00:57:17,438 --> 00:57:20,138
{\an8}They've consumed those and those
are inside their bellies right now.
1064
00:57:20,205 --> 00:57:22,938
{\an8}The difference between
chicken wings and hot dogs is vast.
1065
00:57:23,005 --> 00:57:25,771
{\an8}It's got to be.
With the bread? Oh, yeah, it's vast.
1066
00:57:25,838 --> 00:57:26,771
{\an8}Oh, yeah.
1067
00:57:26,838 --> 00:57:29,338
{\an8}They have
a different technique out there.
1068
00:57:29,405 --> 00:57:31,771
{\an8}Here, I mean, look,
it is slam and jam up there.
1069
00:57:31,838 --> 00:57:35,171
{\an8}Yes, and it's slam and jam.
Oh, my goodness.
1070
00:57:35,238 --> 00:57:37,438
{\an8}All right.
We are nearing the halfway point.
1071
00:57:37,505 --> 00:57:39,138
{\an8}Joey Chestnut continues
1072
00:57:39,205 --> 00:57:42,305
{\an8}to kind of incrementally
extend his lead right now.
1073
00:57:42,371 --> 00:57:45,671
{\an8}You've got to imagine Kobayashi
can feel that he is behind.
1074
00:57:45,738 --> 00:57:48,138
{\an8}What sort of adjustments
can you make in the back half?
1075
00:57:48,205 --> 00:57:50,638
{\an8}Uh, he knows. He knows
he is behind. I'm sure of that.
1076
00:57:50,705 --> 00:57:53,371
{\an8}He's got his wife helping him out.
He can also see the counter.
1077
00:57:53,438 --> 00:57:56,005
{\an8}All he can do is just keep pressing
that pace,
1078
00:57:56,071 --> 00:57:58,771
{\an8}just trying to go a little bit faster
and trying not to slow down.
1079
00:57:58,838 --> 00:58:01,905
{\an8}He is a smaller guy than Joey.
He's got a smaller rib cage.
1080
00:58:01,971 --> 00:58:05,238
{\an8}Typically that means his stomach
doesn't have as much room to expand.
1081
00:58:05,305 --> 00:58:08,271
{\an8}However, Kobayashi has a condition
called gastroptosis.
1082
00:58:08,338 --> 00:58:10,738
{\an8}That means his stomach
sits a little bit lower in his body
1083
00:58:10,805 --> 00:58:13,271
{\an8}and is able to expand underneath
the rib cage,
1084
00:58:13,338 --> 00:58:15,938
{\an8}so that actually negates
Joey's size advantage.
1085
00:58:16,005 --> 00:58:19,071
{\an8}You said earlier you thought
that Joey would break the world record.
1086
00:58:19,138 --> 00:58:22,271
{\an8}He's five dogs ahead of that pace
right now. So, what do you feel like?
1087
00:58:22,338 --> 00:58:25,405
{\an8}He's gonna continue. I think
he is in the best shape of his life.
1088
00:58:25,471 --> 00:58:29,305
{\an8}I think he wants to win
but he also doesn't want to lose.
1089
00:58:29,371 --> 00:58:30,805
{\an8}So he came here ready.
1090
00:58:30,871 --> 00:58:33,071
{\an8}Both of the competitors
have their eyes shut.
1091
00:58:33,138 --> 00:58:35,105
{\an8}Are they going out of body right now?
1092
00:58:35,171 --> 00:58:39,238
{\an8}You know, I think they are trying
to tune out as much as possible.
1093
00:58:39,305 --> 00:58:41,405
{\an8}So it's a distraction
if you look around too much.
1094
00:58:41,471 --> 00:58:42,871
{\an8}It's easier to close your eyes.
1095
00:58:42,938 --> 00:58:48,071
{\an8}And look at this. Chestnut almost
has a 10 hotdog lead over Kobayashi
1096
00:58:48,138 --> 00:58:50,171
{\an8}as we close in on the four-minute mark.
1097
00:58:50,238 --> 00:58:53,438
{\an8}This is an incredible performance
by a 16-time champ.
1098
00:58:53,505 --> 00:58:56,271
{\an8}This is a bigger lead
than I expected, you know.
1099
00:58:56,338 --> 00:58:59,238
{\an8}One thing Joey told me was that
he was going to push himself
1100
00:58:59,305 --> 00:59:01,971
{\an8}even if he's got a big lead.
He's going to try to set a record.
1101
00:59:02,038 --> 00:59:03,238
{\an8}Kobayashi told me the same.
1102
00:59:03,305 --> 00:59:05,505
{\an8}Even if he's losing,
he's going to try to do his best
1103
00:59:05,571 --> 00:59:07,671
{\an8}because he's got his pride wrapped up
in this event.
1104
00:59:07,738 --> 00:59:10,405
{\an8}- They're gonna push hard to the end.
- Let's take it to Nikki.
1105
00:59:10,471 --> 00:59:13,071
{\an8}She is in Joey Chestnut's camp
right now. Nikki.
1106
00:59:13,138 --> 00:59:16,705
{\an8}That is right. I'm here with Joey's dad,
Joey's friends,
1107
00:59:16,771 --> 00:59:18,671
these other competitive eaters.
1108
00:59:18,738 --> 00:59:22,805
And even though Joey has the lead,
they are cheering him on.
1109
00:59:22,871 --> 00:59:26,405
{\an8}They are not giving up.
It is so crazy down here.
1110
00:59:26,471 --> 00:59:27,771
{\an8}I mean, the hype is unreal.
1111
00:59:29,171 --> 00:59:31,005
{\an8}All right, Nikki,
thank you very much.
1112
00:59:31,071 --> 00:59:35,171
{\an8}You can see the... Is that pain
that Joey Chestnut is going through
1113
00:59:35,238 --> 00:59:37,605
{\an8}as he's trying to jab more
and more hot dogs?
1114
00:59:37,671 --> 00:59:40,038
{\an8}- Let's call it what it is.
- It's not actually pain.
1115
00:59:40,105 --> 00:59:42,371
{\an8}It is kind of disgust at this point.
1116
00:59:42,438 --> 00:59:44,871
{\an8}But there's nothing that hurts.
They just feel full.
1117
00:59:44,938 --> 00:59:47,938
{\an8}They know their stomach can stretch
further, so they're gonna keep on eating,
1118
00:59:48,005 --> 00:59:50,071
{\an8}but it doesn't feel great.
It doesn't taste good.
1119
00:59:50,138 --> 00:59:51,505
{\an8}Tim, how are these dogs going down?
1120
00:59:51,571 --> 00:59:53,638
{\an8}You talked about the difference
between slow and fast.
1121
00:59:53,705 --> 00:59:54,905
{\an8}What are we looking at?
1122
00:59:54,971 --> 00:59:58,671
{\an8}Typically, when you can't dunk,
it should be much slower to eat a hot dog,
1123
00:59:58,738 --> 01:00:03,138
{\an8}but these guys have practiced so much,
and the meat is soft, it's hot, juicy,
1124
01:00:03,205 --> 01:00:05,671
{\an8}there's no casing on it.
That makes it a fast meat.
1125
01:00:05,738 --> 01:00:07,938
{\an8}The bun has been kept
at a nice temperature,
1126
01:00:08,005 --> 01:00:10,005
{\an8}it's been steamed,
so it is fluffy and soft.
1127
01:00:10,071 --> 01:00:12,971
{\an8}That makes it a fast bun.
They can eat these dogs quickly.
1128
01:00:13,038 --> 01:00:14,905
{\an8}Rob, when you shop
at the grocery store,
1129
01:00:14,971 --> 01:00:17,071
{\an8}do you shop for fast dogs, slow dogs?
1130
01:00:17,138 --> 01:00:19,305
{\an8}- Which ones?
- The fast ones.
1131
01:00:19,371 --> 01:00:22,105
{\an8}Yeah. I'm all about speed.
That's how I live my life.
1132
01:00:22,171 --> 01:00:23,671
{\an8}- But you knew that.
- That's true.
1133
01:00:24,271 --> 01:00:27,605
{\an8}Six dogs ahead of his world record pace
is Joey Chestnut
1134
01:00:27,671 --> 01:00:31,738
{\an8}as he just climbed past 70
with under two and a half minutes to go.
1135
01:00:31,805 --> 01:00:33,805
{\an8}I think the record's gonna fall.
1136
01:00:33,871 --> 01:00:36,238
{\an8}What would that mean
in the competitive eating world
1137
01:00:36,305 --> 01:00:37,605
{\an8}if he blows past 80?
1138
01:00:37,671 --> 01:00:40,405
{\an8}- What are we looking at?
- Joey has always wanted to hit 80.
1139
01:00:40,471 --> 01:00:41,738
{\an8}I think we are about to see it.
1140
01:00:41,805 --> 01:00:44,705
{\an8}And that's the biggest number anybody
has ever eaten.
1141
01:00:44,771 --> 01:00:48,871
{\an8}We are really approaching the limits
of what a human can do.
1142
01:00:48,938 --> 01:00:52,571
{\an8}What is interesting, we haven't
seen one penalty card, one warning card.
1143
01:00:52,638 --> 01:00:55,105
{\an8}They stay focused and locked in.
What does that tell you?
1144
01:00:55,171 --> 01:00:58,538
{\an8}Well, the biggest concern was
they are so used to dunking hot dogs,
1145
01:00:58,605 --> 01:01:01,738
{\an8}they've been doing it for decades,
that they might just accidentally do it.
1146
01:01:01,805 --> 01:01:03,338
{\an8}But I expected a clean contest.
1147
01:01:03,405 --> 01:01:05,905
{\an8}I think they practiced enough
and they both want to win this.
1148
01:01:05,971 --> 01:01:07,571
{\an8}They both wanna compete fairly.
1149
01:01:07,638 --> 01:01:09,271
{\an8}We are under the two-minute warning.
1150
01:01:09,338 --> 01:01:13,905
{\an8}Unlike the NFL... You can see two games
right here on Netflix on Christmas Day.
1151
01:01:13,971 --> 01:01:18,105
{\an8}...we don't stop the action. We keep going.
We keep pushing through.
1152
01:01:18,171 --> 01:01:21,205
{\an8}We are closing in
on Joey Chestnut's record.
1153
01:01:21,771 --> 01:01:25,838
{\an8}Remember, the number to tie is 76,
with 90 seconds to go.
1154
01:01:25,905 --> 01:01:27,671
{\an8}He is one away.
1155
01:01:27,738 --> 01:01:28,805
{\an8}This is incredible.
1156
01:01:28,871 --> 01:01:31,205
{\an8}Oh, my God!
1157
01:01:31,271 --> 01:01:34,571
{\an8}Joey Chestnut, he might have
a pained look on his face,
1158
01:01:34,638 --> 01:01:38,271
{\an8}but he is all smiles and hot dogs
on the inside.
1159
01:01:38,338 --> 01:01:40,271
{\an8}He has equaled his record.
1160
01:01:40,338 --> 01:01:44,271
{\an8}One more, and he is once again
at the top of the dog mountain.
1161
01:01:44,338 --> 01:01:46,805
{\an8}He's going to 78. He's got it in his hand.
1162
01:01:48,405 --> 01:01:51,005
{\an8}We are in uncharted waters here!
1163
01:01:51,071 --> 01:01:53,171
{\an8}How far can he go?
1164
01:01:53,238 --> 01:01:56,038
{\an8}What is he thinking about now, 82, 83?
1165
01:01:56,105 --> 01:01:57,771
{\an8}He's thinking about
the record first
1166
01:01:57,838 --> 01:02:00,505
{\an8}and then he's just going to go
as much beyond that as he can.
1167
01:02:00,571 --> 01:02:02,305
{\an8}And he can stuff a little bit more.
1168
01:02:02,371 --> 01:02:05,238
{\an8}Let's not lose sight of the fact
that Kobi is about to set
1169
01:02:05,305 --> 01:02:06,705
{\an8}a personal record as well.
1170
01:02:06,771 --> 01:02:11,071
{\an8}His old mark's at 64 and a half
back in 2009.
1171
01:02:12,171 --> 01:02:14,638
{\an8}We now have less
than a minute left. What do you see?
1172
01:02:14,705 --> 01:02:16,938
{\an8}We got less than a minute left.
Give us a guess.
1173
01:02:17,005 --> 01:02:19,405
{\an8}- Joey is going to hit 84.
- Eighty-four?
1174
01:02:19,471 --> 01:02:20,805
{\an8}Joey just hit 80!
1175
01:02:20,871 --> 01:02:23,471
{\an8}Oh, my goodness!
1176
01:02:25,138 --> 01:02:27,105
{\an8}Less than 30 to go!
1177
01:02:27,771 --> 01:02:31,905
{\an8}- A rematch we have waited 15 years for.
- Kobi has set a personal record.
1178
01:02:33,305 --> 01:02:37,505
{\an8}Chestnut, Kobayashi,
both with personal records,
1179
01:02:37,571 --> 01:02:42,605
{\an8}but the 16-time champion is going
to walk away an apparent winner.
1180
01:02:44,271 --> 01:02:47,638
{\an8}There's 10 seconds to go
as the fans count it down.
1181
01:02:47,705 --> 01:02:52,671
{\an8}- ...six, five, four, three, two, one!
- Three, two, one!
1182
01:02:53,171 --> 01:02:55,238
{\an8}Tim called this! He called this.
1183
01:02:56,338 --> 01:02:58,171
{\an8}You have 30 seconds to finish...
1184
01:02:58,238 --> 01:03:01,371
{\an8}You have 30 seconds
to finish what is in your mouth,
1185
01:03:01,905 --> 01:03:04,705
{\an8}and then both competitors
will get checked.
1186
01:03:04,771 --> 01:03:07,938
{\an8}They'll sweep up for any mess
that's on the floor.
1187
01:03:08,005 --> 01:03:11,238
{\an8}They'll weigh that.
But this is an apparent, as of right now,
1188
01:03:11,305 --> 01:03:15,705
{\an8}unofficial win for Joey Chestnut
who went going away.
1189
01:03:15,771 --> 01:03:19,505
{\an8}And it's impossible that it won't
be official in just a few seconds.
1190
01:03:19,571 --> 01:03:23,538
{\an8}Tim, you were close.
You said 84. He got 83.
1191
01:03:23,605 --> 01:03:25,438
{\an8}- You were close.
- I was close, yeah.
1192
01:03:25,505 --> 01:03:27,305
{\an8}- That was his personal best.
- All right.
1193
01:03:27,938 --> 01:03:30,871
{\an8}So both competitors are having
their mouths checked out.
1194
01:03:30,938 --> 01:03:33,505
{\an8}It'll take a little longer
to check Joey's mouth.
1195
01:03:33,571 --> 01:03:37,105
{\an8}That is a large grill.
That is a large grill. Look at him!
1196
01:03:39,971 --> 01:03:41,738
Soaking in the moment.
1197
01:03:45,438 --> 01:03:46,538
Incredible.
1198
01:03:46,605 --> 01:03:49,071
Once again,
this is an unofficial victory.
1199
01:03:50,705 --> 01:03:55,671
The competitors standing next to one
another, but not even exchanging glances.
1200
01:03:55,738 --> 01:03:59,871
You know,
these guys make each other better.
1201
01:03:59,938 --> 01:04:01,938
Well, what are they doing here now?
1202
01:04:02,005 --> 01:04:04,905
Well, we've had guys in the past
that might step on some crumbs.
1203
01:04:04,971 --> 01:04:08,371
These guys would never stoop that low,
but they're checking to make sure.
1204
01:04:08,438 --> 01:04:10,938
Would they cheat to try
and put stuff under their shoes?
1205
01:04:11,005 --> 01:04:13,138
There's been scandals in the past.
1206
01:04:13,205 --> 01:04:16,338
Joey! Joey! Joey! Joey!
1207
01:04:16,405 --> 01:04:19,871
Wow. How exhausted are you
at the end of 10 minutes?
1208
01:04:19,938 --> 01:04:21,838
Uh, you've got a lot of adrenaline.
1209
01:04:21,905 --> 01:04:24,038
That keeps you going.
I think they feel pretty good.
1210
01:04:25,271 --> 01:04:30,005
It was an incredible performance.
Joey Chestnut, the unofficial winner.
1211
01:04:30,071 --> 01:04:33,838
Kobayashi, we finally saw him
compete against Joey Chestnut
1212
01:04:33,905 --> 01:04:35,871
for the first time in 15 years.
1213
01:04:35,938 --> 01:04:39,238
It was truly worth the wait.
Would you not say?
1214
01:04:39,305 --> 01:04:41,871
I would wait again
to get this kind of excitement. Yeah.
1215
01:04:41,938 --> 01:04:44,671
- It was very good.
- It was something special.
1216
01:04:44,738 --> 01:04:47,438
They're just doing a few quick
check to the numbers.
1217
01:04:47,505 --> 01:04:49,138
Then we will have an official ruling.
1218
01:04:49,205 --> 01:04:51,938
But both gentlemen,
they look exhausted at this point.
1219
01:04:52,005 --> 01:04:53,871
They do, and they look very wet.
1220
01:04:55,005 --> 01:04:55,871
A lot of water.
1221
01:04:57,438 --> 01:05:00,871
Well, the crowd here in Las Vegas
treated to something special.
1222
01:05:00,938 --> 01:05:03,671
We had the chicken wing eating
a little bit earlier,
1223
01:05:03,738 --> 01:05:07,738
we had Leah set a new Guinness
world record for the watermelon eating,
1224
01:05:07,805 --> 01:05:10,305
and now we have another unofficial record
1225
01:05:10,371 --> 01:05:12,571
when it comes to hot dog eating
in 10 minutes.
1226
01:05:12,638 --> 01:05:13,905
It was so intense.
1227
01:05:18,305 --> 01:05:21,838
They're weighing what they were
able to find there, in terms of grams.
1228
01:05:21,905 --> 01:05:24,938
They take that away from the actual score
to see who had what?
1229
01:05:26,171 --> 01:05:29,738
If it equals a hot dog in terms
of mass, then they will deduct it,
1230
01:05:29,805 --> 01:05:32,305
but if it doesn't equal a full hot dog,
it doesn't count.
1231
01:05:32,371 --> 01:05:37,905
It's just to cross the Ts and dot
your Is and get everything official.
1232
01:05:37,971 --> 01:05:41,071
It's all official.
We're making sure it's all said and done.
1233
01:05:41,805 --> 01:05:44,671
I'm beat after 10 minutes. What about you?
1234
01:05:44,738 --> 01:05:46,138
- I'm tired.
- Oh, I'm excited.
1235
01:05:47,305 --> 01:05:50,671
I wonder how far Joey Chestnut
can push himself.
1236
01:05:50,738 --> 01:05:56,971
I mean, where he got almost to 85,
that is an unreal number.
1237
01:05:57,038 --> 01:05:58,205
He's a big dreamer.
1238
01:05:58,271 --> 01:06:00,738
I'm sure he's already starting
to think about the next one.
1239
01:06:00,805 --> 01:06:04,205
Kobayashi apparently
deducted one dog total
1240
01:06:04,271 --> 01:06:06,171
after they weighed everything in.
1241
01:06:06,838 --> 01:06:10,505
Perhaps that will extend the win
for one Joey Chestnut.
1242
01:06:11,238 --> 01:06:13,305
All right, Rob Riggle, take it away.
1243
01:06:16,171 --> 01:06:19,038
Well, I believe it is official.
We have a winner.
1244
01:06:20,571 --> 01:06:25,705
The judges have determined,
by unanimous decision,
1245
01:06:25,771 --> 01:06:30,838
with a total score of 83 hot dogs eaten...
1246
01:06:34,338 --> 01:06:39,805
...the winner of the first ever Netflix
Unfinished Beef Hot Dog competition
1247
01:06:39,871 --> 01:06:43,305
and new world record holder,
1248
01:06:43,371 --> 01:06:47,938
it's Joey Chestnut!
1249
01:06:50,705 --> 01:06:54,238
- Congratulations.
- Congratulations.
1250
01:06:58,005 --> 01:07:02,471
I'm telling you, your mouth and stomach
have spoken here today.
1251
01:07:03,371 --> 01:07:07,438
You are the greatest hot dog eater
in the entire world.
1252
01:07:07,505 --> 01:07:13,505
Yes. And on top of that,
you have won $100,000.
1253
01:07:14,471 --> 01:07:17,805
And of course this incredible
one-of-a-kind trophy.
1254
01:07:19,905 --> 01:07:22,171
That's right, but that is not all.
That is not all.
1255
01:07:22,238 --> 01:07:25,505
Here to present our winner
with the championship belt
1256
01:07:25,571 --> 01:07:29,738
is WWE superstar, Rey Mysterio!
1257
01:07:30,705 --> 01:07:32,105
Mysterio!
1258
01:07:40,338 --> 01:07:43,805
That's right. That's right.
Joey Chestnut will be taking home
1259
01:07:43,871 --> 01:07:47,938
the Netflix Unfinished Beef
Hot Dog championship title belt.
1260
01:07:48,005 --> 01:07:52,005
And of course he will need
to loosen that belt almost immediately,
1261
01:07:52,071 --> 01:07:54,771
because he ate too many hot dogs,
my friends.
1262
01:07:54,838 --> 01:07:56,605
Too many hot dogs.
1263
01:07:56,671 --> 01:08:01,471
Let me just ask you, Joey.
What is going through your mind right now?
1264
01:08:01,538 --> 01:08:06,205
Besides... There's a tremendous
waft of sweat and hot dog
1265
01:08:06,271 --> 01:08:09,405
that you can't smell it at home,
but it's tremendous.
1266
01:08:09,471 --> 01:08:14,138
The meat sweats are real, brother.
No, dude, it's amazing.
1267
01:08:14,205 --> 01:08:16,438
I've been trying to hit 80 hot dogs
for years,
1268
01:08:16,505 --> 01:08:19,305
and without Kobayashi,
I was never able to do it.
1269
01:08:19,371 --> 01:08:20,305
And, uh...
1270
01:08:21,705 --> 01:08:23,305
He drives me.
1271
01:08:23,371 --> 01:08:26,971
And we weren't always nice to each other,
1272
01:08:27,038 --> 01:08:30,404
but I love the way we push each other
to be our best.
1273
01:08:30,471 --> 01:08:33,638
That's great. That's awesome.
Iron sharpens iron.
1274
01:08:33,705 --> 01:08:35,871
How about you, Kobi,
how are you feeling right now?
1275
01:08:38,904 --> 01:08:42,338
- I feel like I did everything I could.
- And you most certainly did.
1276
01:08:42,404 --> 01:08:45,571
And you had an incredible group here
supporting you.
1277
01:08:46,138 --> 01:08:48,271
What you do is absolutely amazing,
1278
01:08:48,338 --> 01:08:51,971
and you made today so incredibly special,
so thank you so much.
1279
01:08:54,838 --> 01:08:55,705
Joey...
1280
01:08:57,571 --> 01:09:00,171
Uh, real quick, before we get out of here,
1281
01:09:00,238 --> 01:09:02,805
the world wants to know,
any last thoughts you've got?
1282
01:09:02,871 --> 01:09:06,471
Any thoughts on breaking the title,
breaking the record, your personal best?
1283
01:09:06,538 --> 01:09:09,271
- Any last thoughts before we part ways?
- Oh, my God. Dude.
1284
01:09:09,338 --> 01:09:12,371
When I first heard the rules about
no dunking, I was really worried.
1285
01:09:12,438 --> 01:09:14,571
But I learned how to eat them like this.
1286
01:09:14,638 --> 01:09:17,105
And any other hot dog contest I do,
1287
01:09:17,171 --> 01:09:20,171
I'm gonna be eating some of them
without dunking. This was amazing.
1288
01:09:20,238 --> 01:09:22,371
That's great. That's great.
1289
01:09:22,438 --> 01:09:26,305
- All right, did you all have a good time?
- Yeah!
1290
01:09:26,371 --> 01:09:27,404
Let's hear it!
1291
01:09:29,438 --> 01:09:32,038
They're loving it. All right.
Thank you, everyone.
1292
01:09:32,105 --> 01:09:35,205
Thank you so much to our athletes
for participating today.
1293
01:09:35,271 --> 01:09:37,038
That's right. Thanks for coming out today.
1294
01:09:37,105 --> 01:09:40,538
I don't know about you guys,
but after watching all of this,
1295
01:09:40,605 --> 01:09:43,305
I want to go out and eat a salad!
1296
01:09:43,371 --> 01:09:44,571
Yeah.
1297
01:09:44,638 --> 01:09:48,871
On behalf of Cari Champion,
Chris Rose, Tim, Nikki, myself,
1298
01:09:48,938 --> 01:09:52,371
all the wonderful people who came out here
to cheer on our eaters,
1299
01:09:52,438 --> 01:09:55,404
to the crew who made all this happen...
1300
01:09:56,138 --> 01:09:57,505
Good morning, good night.
1301
01:09:57,571 --> 01:10:00,205
I don't know where you are,
but I hope it's a great day.
1302
01:10:00,271 --> 01:10:03,071
Yes, and have a happy Labor Day. Be safe.
1303
01:10:30,771 --> 01:10:33,705
Joey! Joey! Joey! Joey!
1304
01:10:33,771 --> 01:10:37,005
Joey! Joey! Joey! Joey!
