You can't wait to see him. Gonna be back at Nathan's famous hot dog eating contest, Fourth of July. All right. What's it mean? Cause last year you weren't there, right? And everybody always pays attention to Joey Chestnut. So Joey, what's it mean to be back at the contest? Oh, it's awesome to be back. 4th of July. Uh, no matter what, I'll be eating hot dogs somewhere on 4th of July, and it's, it's great to be back on Coney Island. This is where I, uh, took down Kobi Achi for the first time and I, um, I'm I'm making, I'm hopefully gonna make a new record. You educated me. The first time I was ever the sideline reporter on the hot dog contest. Advertisement You taught me a very important thing that the overall, the humidity, the weather, all of these things matter to how the dogs go down. So now we sit here a few years later. Are there any, as far as, as many of these contests as you've done, are there any tips or tricks that you've figured out that sort of help you get through the speed? Oh, there, there, yeah, so eating humidity are tough. Uh, you'll see a lot of the eaters hanging out in, in, in like the green room or staging area. I'm, I'm, I've been talking to the Nathan's people I hang out in the freezer or the fridge. I, I can make sure I'm cool and I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm that heat scares me sometimes on Coney Island when it's humid, uh, if, if I'm sweating too much, it starts slowing me down midway through the contest. Advertisement So I, I'm, I'm working hard to stay cool before the contest starts. And uh and during the contest, it's, it's just, I, I stay calm, stay calm. I'm in my happy place and uh just keep, just keep breathing and swallowing. So let's look left to right now because you didn't do the contest last year, you're back. Everybody's been working to try and take down Joey Chestnut. Is there somebody that you've got an eye on around you that you're thinking, man, this is the guy that might be able to give me a bit of a bump this time. Oh, there's always awesome eaters. Pat Bertoletti, he won last year with a personal best of 58, and there's James Webb from Australia, and he's beaten me in chicken wings, but I'll tell you what, 58 is not gonna cut it. Advertisement We're not eating chicken wings. I'm going out. I'm looking for 70s, I'm looking to push the record. It's, yeah, so if I'm, if my game's going well, I should blow it right away. In my entire career, for everything I ever did at ESPN or now at Yahoo, or even in music, I don't think I've ever been more blown up on my phone than every year on the 4th of July that I did the hot dog eating contest, just being around it. For you, where's the weirdest place you've ever been stopped and recognized for being Joey Chestnut? Oh my God, I don't know, the weirdest thing. It happens way too often. Guys recognize me in the bathroom and try to get to take pictures like this, that's not acceptable, brother. Advertisement At one time I had traffic court one time, and the judge recognized me. And the judge recognized me. Did you still get the ticket or did he give you the, oh, I got the ticket, but then he told me it was a fan, but it made it a little bit less painful. But it made it a little bit less painful. But yeah, I guess it's always nice people usually, happy people. Well, Nathan's hot dog eating contest is a 4th of July tradition for a lot of us, me included, brother, and it's a it's just better when you're in it. So we're all glad that you're back. Best of luck. Crush it on the 4th of July. I know you will anyway, but most importantly, stay healthy out there, because I don't know how you do it. You know, I go in knowing that it's gonna be uncomfortable and I put the work in the recover, and thank you. I'm gonna be pushing hard.

San Jose July 4th organizers scramble after blast leads to canceled fireworks show
The explosion at the fireworks warehouse in Yolo County caused the cancelation of a number of 4th of July fireworks shows, including one in San Jose. Up to 40,000 people were expected to be around Lake Cunningham on Friday night for a festival and fireworks show, but now it might just be a festival. That's because finding another pyrotechnic company this close to the holiday is basically impossible. "You see that. That's the beach where we usually launch out of," said Councilmember Domingo Candelas. He organized the 4th of July event specifically to get people to come to a legal fireworks show versus shooting off their illegal ones in the neighborhoods. San Jose City Councilmember Domingo Candelas points to the area in Lake Cunningham Park where 4th of July fireworks would have been launched from before the show was canceled due to a fireworks warehouse explosion in Esparto on July 1, 2025. CBS "People just want a safe avenue to celebrate the 4th of July. We're doing what we can figure out something, especially for the community, something that's unique," said Candelas. Now, he and others are scrambling to figure out a backup plan, especially since the 4th of July is like the Super Bowl for pyrotechnic companies. Planning starts 6 to 8 months in advance. "It is all consuming for us. It takes hundreds of people thousands of hours to prepare and execute the 4th of July week," says Pat Dyas of Pyro Spectaculars. Dyas is a show producer for the company doing the fireworks at the Marin County Fair and also the 4th of July fireworks in Concord. He is not connected to the Lake Cunningham show, but said his company has fielded calls from other cities who are scrambling for last-minute alternatives. Along with San Jose, communities that have already announced cancellations connected to Tuesday's blast include Chico, Cloverdale, Lodi, Marysville and Placerville. "It's pretty much impossible to pull a fireworks show out of your back pocket. It's not like DoorDash where you can have it show up," says Dyas. It's disappointing news for folks planning to watch the show. "We live on the hillside on the east side. And every year we get the perfect view for the 4th of July and we always look forward to the fireworks every year," says Quang Nguyen who lives near the lake. Candelas said they're looking at all kinds of alternatives, but options are limited at the last minute. "Even the drone vendors, it's all these different folks, not just cities, but you have places like Great America, you know and hopefully we have some good news in the next couple days, but either way we'll have a big party here on the 4th of July," he says. Candelas says there will still be 18 food trucks, a live band, and tons of activities for the kids. One drone vendor is available to put on a show, but because the park is near an airport, they have to get approval from the FAA to do the show. For die-hard fireworks fans in the South Bay, Great America in Santa Clara is still doing fireworks on Friday night and so are the San Jose Giants at Municipal Stadium. A full list of July 4 events throughout the Bay Area can be found here.
