Now's a good time to remember where the story of tequila started. In 1795, the first tequila distillery was opened by the Cuervo family. And 229 years later, Cuervo is still going strong. Family owned from the start. Same family, same land. Now's a good time to enjoy Cuervo.

Jersey City, New Jersey. Please drink responsibly. We've done a lot of journalism here today. A shocking amount of finding out that this crew has done. Where's your piece of paper with Pablo Dot? I forgot it. Don't you normally have that hanging over your computer? Hold on. Maybe it's my backpack.

My deoxygenated brain has made me... You refer to your show. Could you... No. Okay, I'll refer to mine then. I'm here to create a good show for them, not promote my own show. Nothing personal with David Sampson on the DraftKings Network.

Pablo promotes this. Pablo Torre finds out every, you know, he hangs it over his computer. But see, that's the, just because other people do things that I believe to be uncouth does not mean that I should. Is this another civil rights movement take? No, it's not. It's not. It has nothing to do with it. They're just saying there's...

I don't believe he did it is a good defense for anything. I think it's awkward to be out here promoting your own show. If people want to find me, they'll find me. If people want to find it, they're going to find it. Whatever. Anyway, let's talk about something that people actually care about, not promoting our shows. So apparently Joey Chestnut drank a gallon of milk in 13 seconds and did not barf. What? That is not accurate. You have that video of Joey Chestnut

Drinking a gallon of milk? We're going to effort that video. It's possible. You don't think so? I was under the impression I've always, maybe it's a boobemeister, but I always thought that you could not drink a gallon of milk and not vomit.

That's what I had always been told. And no proof to the contrary has ever existed. I would definitely vomit. I think milk's disgusting. Bubba Meister? Something false that people believe to be true. You can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery with a tattoo. That's a Bubba Meister. An old wives tale. It's like an old wives tale. I just never heard of Bubba Meister before. Learn something new every day. I believe, Joey, the same way Pablo thinks it's impossible that you could

exist on two hours of sleep, I believe that Joey Chestnut could probably drink. This man like eats a trillion hot dogs. I think drinking a gallon of milk in 13 seconds is something that he could do. This man is a good businessman. He's separated from the world. He was kind of the biggest figure in sports over the last several days since July 4th because he was not there. Do you guys watch the hot dog eating contest actually? No, I couldn't watch it.

It's so gross. I love the fact it is so gross. It disgusts me. But I love how who chooses when they put the butt in the water, how many they can do at a time, how many regular dogs they can do in their mouth at once. And it is absolutely disgusting. And I don't understand how they all don't vomit. And I don't understand how professional eaters are not fat.

Pablo, I was told that at Sports Illustrated covering the hot dog eating contest was a thing that like everyone had to do at some point when they were young on the job. Did you ever have to go and cover it? The first interview I ever did at Sports Illustrated as a journalist was Joey Chestnut hot dog eating contest. Wow. Your first interview was a champion in their sport. Nice to you. He was a delight.

And here he is chugging a gallon of milk in 13 seconds on video. Yeah, so you see there's no audio here, but you can almost hear it because he is crunching the milk carton. That's so gross. Wait, is this whole milk?

Oh, you think it's 2%? It could be 2%. It could be. Wait, hold on. Yeah, let's get that. Let's find that label. Let's find that label. It's definitely not whole milk. I thought whole milk was red. Is that true? Blue is skim milk. Yeah. Whole milk is always red. Either way, it's pretty impressive. I mean, listen, I'm not poo-pooing the fact that he did it. Blue label, we are seeing 2%. Yeah. We're seeing 2%. You're poo-pooing. Don't poo-poo it.

Wow. It's impressive, though. So what did you think of the hot dog contest in person, Pablo? I heard it's a terrible assignment because you basically spend the fourth at Coney Island without doing anything. It was so hot. You're in a crowd of people and you get backsplashed. Like boxing referees who get blood sometimes, or boxing journalists will get blood like the boxing referee in the ring. I'll get blood splashed around. You get hot dog parts. Where are you positioned as a journalist? You get great seats. I mean, you can choose to be right in front.

There's no like press row at the hot dog eating contest. So why would you position yourself in a place where you're getting backsplash? Because it was the first assignment I'd ever taken. I had not done a scouting report on what exactly happens here when Eric Badlands Booker may have what they call a reversal of fortune in the world of hot dog eating, which is what that guy did with the lemonade that started off one of the weirdest four hour runs of anything I've ever done today.

Today or any day. I mean, it's hard to tell. So Joey Chestnut did not perform. He had a fight with the management. A business story, a sports business story. It's a great sports business story. He went out on his own and he did it. Wait, do you blame Nathan's for...

Banning him because he had signed this deal with like Impossible Foods? You have to have a strategy and you have to stick to it. And sometimes it's painful. But you cannot support. Hey, Jordan covered up the night, the Reebok on his on his sweatsuit. He put the put the flag over it. I mean, there's just certain things you cannot do when you're in the hot dog eating contest and you're getting money.

Kobayashi also previously did that and was banned. So it's not like he didn't know what was potentially going to happen to him. Also, the entire broadcast was just talking about Joey Chestnut regardless. So he wasn't there, but they spent like it was almost like an obituary for him. Jeremy Schaap was announcing it. That was crazy. Which was my favorite part. I didn't understand how Jeremy Schaap ended up with that assignment. And then when they did the Joey Chestnut obituary for him, who's very much still alive, I was like,

Maybe this is why Jeremy Schaap is here, just for this one piece, and then he continued throughout the entire tournament. It gets great ratings. This is not a small little... Yeah, Major League Baseball seeded July 4th to the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest. Not purposefully.

But so he ended up eating. He would have won Nathan's again. He ate more hot dogs than the winner of Nathan's in only five minutes. He ate 57, beating actual servicemen and women from the United States military in 57 minutes.

Buy a score of 57 hot dogs in five minutes. So it's brilliant business what he did. I mean, back to the LeBron James story, if you want it to be. They allowed their whole industry to be built on the back of one star. And rather than fully compensating him for a value, they chose not to. And he took his talents to South Beach or wherever they did that to military base. You know, this is the 14-year anniversary of that.

Worst day of my professional life. Best day of your life's here. - The decision? - I believe it was July 8th, 2010. - I think you're right. - When the Marlins lost 10 to four to the Diamondbacks and I was in the elevator when I heard what LeBron had done and I knew my career had changed that day. - You said, "I need to fire even more bad boys." - Exactly.

Summer's the best time to run the way you want. Dial it up with new challenges and programs and bring your workouts with you to make the most of outside sunny days. Stugatz, guess what? What? You know what you can do with Peloton? What? Get the app, go outside, ride a bike. Well, I thought you ride Peloton inside. Well, you do. You can ride Peloton inside if it's a rainy day or if it's cloudy or you just don't want to get outside. Maybe it's too hot.

summertime, go outside. I record a lot from my office with you and you've noticed it's sitting there yet. It hasn't been used. Well, now's the time. Summer's the best time to start that push. Right. Can we do it together? Not on the same bike, but we could join a class together. I used to do that. We used to have Guillermo Tan. I'd invite people. We'd all take a class together. Okay. So I think you're starting to get concerned about my health and my age, Billy. I,

I sense that with you. We're beyond starting. Okay. Whatever road lies ahead, your training starts here with Peloton Tread and Tread Plus. It's not just a bike, a treadmill too. I'm going to go outside. I'm going to get in shape. I'm going to do it with Billy Gill. I want to be in your class. I want you to be my instructor. You know what? I won't be your instructor. You don't want to spend more time with me. No, I can schedule a class and we can ride together. I won't be the instructor of the class. We can have Camila could be our instructor. I like the Grateful Dead class. My daughter, she uses the Peloton. Mm-hmm.

She was on it once and an instructor who was playing Grateful Dead tunes. Let's do that. Okay. Why don't we go for a run outside? Guided run. Peloton. Me and you. That's something we can do together. Okay. Turn on the app. Me and you go outside. Enjoy the summer. Call yourself a runner with Peloton at onepeloton.com slash running. All right.
