14. SOUNDBITE (English) George Shea, Major League Eating:
“We’re in conversations with him. Everyone, I believe, hopes to resolve that. Whether we can or not, we don’t know right now, but everybody’s hopeful that that can be done. If it can’t be done and Joey’s not there, you’re going to really have the first open event for many, many years. Joey’s been dominant for 16 plus years. So what you’re going to see if he’s not there is Geoffrey Esper of Massachusetts, James Webb of Australia, Patrick Bertoletti of Chicago. There are a handful of guys who are going to be going for that number one spot, and it’s going to be very, very close."

18. SOUNDBITE (English) CJ Atwell, Visitor from Florida:
“It could be an apple eating contest. I think that’d be cool. That’d be fun if they did that in Times Square or something. Just had like an apple eating contest and called it the Big Apple.”

20. SOUNDBITE (English) George Shea, Major League Eating:
“There have been lots of conversations on what we should be doing, whether we should have a pea eating contest, whether it should be a vegetarian contest, whether it should be a fruit eating contest, whether we should eat something else. Those have never gotten any traction for the simple reason that the hot dog contest is the hot dog contest.”
