Hey Fam, It’s Cam The Cuddler! Back from New York City. Once again, I participated in the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Contest as a chugger VS superstar Eric Badlands Booker. Checkout his YouTube channel: BadlandsChugs to view our chugging highlights. Leading up to the event, my sideshow friends and I put in countless hours of training so that we’d be ready to put on an epic performance in front of thousands at Coney Island in New York. To prepare, I lost weight, strengthened my neck muscles, and perfected rapid drinking techniques. By July 4th, I was in peak form. #hungyandfocused The rules of the chugging contest are simple, we had one minute to drink a gallon of lemonade. First to finish the over 8 lb drink wins The Title. This year’s Event was special because bragging rights were on the line to go with a new one-of-a-kind Major League Eating Championship Belt!

The moment was here, as officials gave us the countdown and the chuggers started guzzling. For the next 60 seconds, I welcomed the struggle – and pain – that comes with an endless river of lemonade surging down your esophagus. Ultimately, I finished in 3rd place, with a personal best. But it was Guinness Record holder, Badlands Booker #badlandschugs who once again dominated with a New World Record, finishing his gallon in only 20 seconds! Visit my TikTok @cameronmckirdy23 for epic clips of the event. After the liquid leveled, I’m just glad I got hang with The Champs. Hot Dog Dominator, Joey “Jaws” Chestnut reinforced to me what it takes to win and stay at the top. Jaws, Badlands Chugs, and the female hotdog winner, Miki Sudo, always show heart, determination, and kindness to the fans, media, and organizers. My friends really are “The Cream of The Crop.” I encourage you to push through life’s challenges, and reach for the sky…like fireworks on the 4th of July. Have a blast this Summer.

Platonically yours,
