Welcome to the Dog Walk presented by Barstall Sports. Today I'm joined in studio by Barstle's newest hire. Ronnie Deutsch. Ronnie, welcome to the show. Thank you for having me, Eddie.

Appreciate it. Deutsch, I'm excited for this interview because this is the first time where we've,

we've talked. We did the 999, or the 99-99-9-9 challenge at the at the Wrigley rooftop together.

And we always had a nice friendly banter and everything,

but we never really got to know each other.

So I'm excited to kind of fly blind and hear about the story of Deutsch.

I can't wait.

I agree that day was like, I wanted to have fun.

And I was like looking forward to talking to everyone and getting to know everybody more.

But once they brought out those jumbo dogs that were twice the size of the average hot dog

and Joey Chestnut looked at us and was like, you guys are fucked.

There's no way you're going to be able to finish those.

I just knew I had to put up a big number.

So I just kept my head down and ate and drank as much as I could.

Yeah, like there's no more reason to be scared than when Joey Chestnut tells you

you're fucked when he sees a hot dog.

Absolutely.

They were huge.

If they were just the normal like junior dogs with the cast we had, I thought it was just

going to be like a fun afternoon.

But when we saw, when they were revealed and then chestnuts like you guys are fucked and he was laughing, it was no longer fun for me. I knew I was going to have to put up a big number or you guys would be like, why did we even bring? Why did we bring this guy here? You had a lot of pressure on you for sure. So, I mean, I was enjoying your conversation with chestnut.
