What could be more American than a juicy, delicious hot dog? … what about 76 of them one after another? We fire up the grill on NATHAN’S FAMOUS HOT DOG EATING CONTEST, held annually every July 4th and broadcast on ESPN. Often called the super bowl of competitive eating, this tournament attracts the leading eaters from around the world. But is it really a sport? And are the participants really athletes? Our esteemed guests are two 10+ year judges of this holiday event, Rob From The Upper East Side, and Jason From Long Island, to help us peel back the aluminum foil on the most exciting 10 minutes in all of sports.

Introducing Our Mets Correspondent

A Millennial girl and a Gen Xer guy deconstruct the Washington Nationals and the game of MLB baseball generally. Both devotional and irreverent, we blow up the “sports talk” genre with humorous, unapologetic, and shamelessly opinionated baseball news outside the press box, the dugout, and the stadium urinals.
