Okay, three, two, one, oh my goodness, good morning, good afternoon, whatever it is for you, I hope you're having a fantastic day.

My name is Zach Schamler. This is Strong

opinion sports. Thank you so very much for tuning in. Today's episode is

unique. I did a phone interview with a guy named Eric Badlands Booker, Badlands Chug.

Look up on YouTube.

He's got 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube, Badlands Chugs.

And I'm a fan of him. He's a dude he's really cool he's one of my I'm not super into competitive eating but he is the personality that I follow that I like in the food eating community.

When he contacted us, I jumped at it because I was like,

are you kidding me?

I can have Badlands chugs on my, to interview him?

Like, what, I just, I don't know, I've heard of him before. It's, it's one thing to have a random food eating guy, because we knew that maybe, you know, people got in touch with me, said we have a food eating guy who might be able to talk to you and I was like okay not not sold at all they

didn't sell the interview good at all and then I hear oh it's badlands chugs and I'm like

of course it's the one competitive eater other than Joey Chestnut or, you know, Kobyashi, I've heard of.

I'm like, are you kidding me?

Let's bring them on.

And my fear is that audio is not the greatest.

Any audio problems were just on the phone, but he's a great dude. I'm rooting for him.

And you know, I had a blast talking to him. I really loved it. And I had this interview, I'm'm like what do I do with this I'm halfway

through recording my film analysis videos it felt like too big to just be part of an

episode so here it is the full interview just a single podcast dedicated to

that he's great look up badlands Chugs on YouTube. He's a great dude, great guy.

I'm glad he gave me so much of his time. And so without further ado, enjoy my full interview with Badlands Chugs.
