Summary
Imagine, the number one hotdog-eating champion in the world can down 25 hotdogs in two minutes, including the bun. And when he was asked what his next goal was, his answer shocked reporters into open-mouthed silence.
You see, he didn't want to eat 26 hotdogs. He wasn't interested in simply getting better incrementally. He wanted to eat 50 hotdogs so that beyond any reasonable doubt, he would be the very best at this one thing.
In order to make such a huge leap, he needed to reimagine the entire process of eating hot dogs altogether. Do you think he was able to double his record? Listen to get the answer (I know you're curious).
