I would eat cooked human flesh for $10 million

[PFT asks about eating human flesh for $10 million] I could do it. I would do it in a country where it wasn't illegal... It would be like we get a scientific permit to do it.

This is a hypothetical statement of intent and cannot be verified as correct/incorrect without the situation occurring.

I have a .001% chance of blacking out and eating 80 hot dogs at the Nathan's contest

I also, .001% chance, I think I could just black out and eat 80 hot dogs.

Big Cat did not eat 80 hot dogs; Joey Chestnut's record at the time was 69.

Big Cat will fail to hit double digits in the hot dog contest; the over-under should be 7.5

I'd be shocked if you hit double digits. I would say that the over-under should be set at about seven and a half.

Big Cat managed to hit 10, so PFT's prediction that he wouldn't hit double digits was incorrect.

Knowing how to train your throat muscles is more important for competitive eating longevity than being in your physical prime

I know my body so much better now. It, it's, it's ridiculous... I also know how to train muscles in my throat and to make 'em stronger so I can just keep swallowing the meat. It's not, I'm not gonna walk away. To be the man, you gotta beat the man.

Chestnut's consistent winning at age 40+ supports his claim that his technical mastery outweighs any physical decline.

Bratwurst has the worst physical aftermath of any competitive eating food

There's a couple that like, I know going in, they're gonna be rough. Like anything with bratwurst, bratwurst, man, there's, they add extra fat in there and it, it's, it's running through you. It, it, it, it's, you're not in control. It's there. There's, there's accidents bound to happen there.

This is based on his personal experience as the GOAT of eating.

I can eat two gallons of soft-serve ice cream in eight minutes

I'm thinking close to, close to two gallons worth. It'd be, it'd be like, so I did an ice cream contest and after the contest I was like shivering because I was so, like, it was like everything was cold. So I, I think close to two gallons would be in, in about eight minutes.

Chestnut has various world records; this specific volume is plausible given his history.
