"Well, 17 time Nathan's hotdog eating champion Joey Chestnut will be allowed to defend his title this weekend. I think I can pull off the win and if the conditions are right and I find it a mean nasty rhythm. Uh, a record is possible and the crowd is that it's an amazing crowd granted him special permission to leave Indiana while on probation to compete. Chestnut was placed on probation after he pleaded guilty to slapping a man at a bar back in March. He'll compete for his 18th mustard belt tomorrow on Coney Island."
