The other day, the L.A. BEAST felt a bit nostalgic about his Competitive Eating Days & went back to rewatch some old Nathan's 4th of July Hot Dog Contests.... specifically when Takeru Kobayashi became the first human being to ever devour 50 hot dogs and buns back in 2001 and when Joey Chestnut Defeated Kobayashi in 2007 for his first ever Nathan's Title, bringing the Yellow Mustard Championship Belt back to America where it has remained ever since.
And that got LA BEAST to think.... after 2 years on the Professional Competitive eating circuit...Why he never made it to the final table on the 4th of July in Coney Island eating Hot Dogs?!?!?!?
The following video, utilizing old photos & 2012 era video clips will explain in detail L.A. BEAST's journey of how he narrowly missed making it to that final table on the 4th of July....
By 1 bite of a Hot Dog.
Please sit back, relax, & enjoy the Journey!!
Have A Good Day!!

Have A GOOD DAY!!
I freakin LOVE YOU LA BEAST!! You ARE Competitive Eating Royalty! Thanks for the memories and hope to see you soon!
Many more memories to be created
Absolutely incredible to see how close everyone in the competitive eating sport is!
That is some wholesome stuff!! Love when two people in the upper echelon support each other! Cool stuff.
We wanna see a collab with the two of you. Been watching the both going on 6 years now and have always been a fan of the videos you two create. Please get together and go smash a local diners Food Challenge. Couple of BEASTS
Awesome!🔥🔥🔥
This man is proof that greatness has nothing to do with where you place on the podium, but the caliber of person you are along the way. Huge respect for you, Beast.
Beast could and can always rely on the person that he is to bring joy and love to the ones around him.
Dude, you've been a legend to my best friend and I since we were kids. We're 26 now and I can't tell you how many dogs we've downed, peppers we've popped, and beers we skulled in your honor in an attempt to beat some sort of record. We never accomplished anything super impressive, but anytime our little brothers / cousins wanted to try and beat us, we tried our best to keep the legend alive. Thank you for the memories, bro.
Good. Beast is too old for this stuff. We need young bloods.
@@Akkbar21The beast will never get old
@@Whynotmini heh. He hopes you’re right.
Very well told story. You don't even need Nathan's under your belt. You still have a legendary career with amazing experiences. What a Life! 👊🏻🙏🏻
Pi-Yahhhh!!! Thanks for tuning in good sir. Hope you and the family are doing well
I think we all can agree that LA beast is the G.O.A.T. 👊
💯
im just a regular guy who posts videos to the internet
The GOAT
Most definitely!
@@LABEASTNot only are you the G.O.A.T. though, you also ate a goat! I remember this!
Drunkenly challenging Joey C and him being forced to destroy you is one of the best stories I've ever heard.
I deserved it for the amount of smack I was talking to everyone even though I knew they could all beat me
@@LABEASTit’s not sports without smack talking!
@LABEAST I'll kick your ass at eating butter bro. Name the time and place and I'll be there.
I started watching this guy what feels like 15 years ago and have loved every second of it. I’ve come and go from watching every video to not catching one in months but I always come back in the end. A true UA-cam legend. Deserves every subscriber he’s gotten, keep it up Beast!
Such a heart warming and captivating story! Well done mr. Skippy 62 Able
thanks for tuning in
@LABEAST have a good day!
Whether it’s UA-cam, competitive eating, or 90s memorabilia collecting, the LA Beast is definitely the Goat at something
He’s like the Kurt Angle of UA-cam. If he opened a dry cleaners, he’d try to be the best dry cleaner in the world
Everything*
Metal detection
I think he’s the GOAT of sacrificing himself in the name of human science for our entertainment
I love the irony of Beast's shirt. He pays tribute to a man who takes the time to trim garlic with a razor, whilst he reminisces about inhaling 60 hotdogs within a single sitting.
Ive always known LA Beast was the greatest entertainer on UA-cam. But i had no idea he was this good at storytelling also. 34 minutes of storytelling took 6 minutes. This guy may have fallen short in competitive eating, but he stands among the greatest to ever UA-cam ❤
It's good to know badlands has always been that loveable dude. He doesn't shake hands, he hugs!
since day 1
Perhaps the hugs are a slick way of tenderizing you in case there is a food shortage??
@@hightttech hahahaha! His hugs are as soft as charmin 😅
@@LABEAST Never stop being you LABEAST we love you
badlands hugs
There's one thing I've learned about the world of competitive eating so far.
There's more to it than just striving to be champion. It goes further to be a great entertainer and to make people laugh at your food escapades than it is to always win.
Kevin, your videos always have entertained and brought many great belly laughs throughout the years. That is much more respectable than being a channel that only shows how much you win.
ive never really been the biggest winner at things. Im a middle of the road kind of guy who busts ass to be the best i can be
@@LABEASTKeep being a genuine creator ❤ L.A BEAST
I’ve never followed the L.A. Beast because he’s the best in rankings, I’ve followed him because he’s real. He’s always seemed like an average guy who you’d be happy to bang back some beers with and not know that he’s one of the hardest working, humble, and motivated content creators on YT. He never brags too long about past victories, he just puts his head down and moves onward and upward. Huge respect for someone that motivated and dedicated to their craft who never lost touch with their roots. Might not be the best ranked but he’s the best personality out there and has always had the best creativity with his ideas
You are only as good as your last accomplishment
why am I crying?
I’ve been watching you for well over a decade and I just love you so much, Beast.
Tears of joy or sadness?
Here is a box of tissues.
I need a box of tissues too! But not because I’m crying 😏
@@SmokeyxzYou probably need toilet paper for that……
@@AJ72281 paper towels*
@@laurencherubyou r pretty
These little voice overs got my crying laughing 😂😂
I don’t think you’re capable of making a bad video man. You always inspire me to do my best and always put a smile on my face. Especially when times are tough. Thank you my friend.
I have made some uninspired videos over the years. this one, although it took me 2 weeks, im glad i did it
@@LABEAST dude. Even the uninspired videos, the ones you put "warning:stupid" or the compilations where they are just failed ideas that don't work....we are watching it for YOU. You MAKE the challenges fun - even if it's a "bad" idea. You are so fun, inspiring and just so uplifting. I have watched every single video you put out, deleted or not. You could make videos just talking about life stories and WE WILL LISTEN. You are quite literally a light in the weird and sadness of our day to day light. I know it isn't easy to make content...just PLEASE do not beat yourself up if you think something isn't good. Just keep trying, that's the main thing. As long as you care, we care. Thank you for everything that you do and have gone through. Especially the stuff we will never know about. Thank you.
Slipping footage into the story telling so that we can actually visualize your story is top tier
all this footage was just sitting stagnant on my channel the past decade so i revamped it all
It's indicative of the Straitest Bering 😎
Thank you for sharing those awesome memories with all of us. I’ve been following you, Furious Pete, and Matt Stonie since 2011, and it does feel nostalgic seeing those pictures from 10+ years ago.
The behind the scenes history of The Beast is the video we didn't know we needed. Bravo sir. Keep on keepin on
Absolutely fair, maybe one day? Cheers Beast!
as long as i dont have to sign any contract with major league eating, id start training tomorrow
@@LABEAST What did the contract persist of that drew you off? I watched the whole video Idk if it was mentioned, I might have just missed that part
@@chinaboy7850 i could make a whole other video about all that but its not worth it at this point
@@LABEASTyou should talk about it in stream sometime
@@LABEAST😢😢😢 1:26 mmmi
If you see the Beast, just know that your humbleness doesn't go unnoticed, you are one of a very few UA-cam personalities that has stayed strong to your roots over the years, i may not of been following you since the very start, probably around 7 to 8 years for me at this point but you sure do have a good strong head on equally strong shoulders. I will continue to enjoy your videos well into the foreseeable future. Big props from a random dude from across the pond.
Life is all about great memories . I hope you will do more great stuff in your life beast !
To be honest the walking across america sounds so hard but excited, i hope you will give it one more try in the future . Have a good day !
Never say never
A short but very memorable career in Major League Eating. I loved hearing all the references and memories of hanging out with the other eaters during the golden years of the sport.This video was awesome, especially the butter story that I had never heard of! Good to hear that you're still able to look back at the experience with fondness.
In the future could you also make a video about your journey to Wing Bowl and your part in breaking the Red Sox billy goat curse?
I freaking love these kind of videos they're full of nostalgia 😁🔥
i am glad i was able to gather all my photos and footage and tell a story with it
Thank you so much for the autograph beast!!!!
Sick off work today (and probably tomorrow) and excited to just binge LA BEAST videos while eating snacks and drinking warm tea in bed. Thx for the new video. Lis.
Feel better
Been watching you for years man. Anytime competitive or challenge eating comes up in conversation, your name is always the first to come up. Keep doing great things!
appreciate all of the support
You never have to explain anything to us.your a legend,and you'll always be king in my book!
L.A. Beast for president!!!
i just thought this was a cool story. never making it to nathans because of 1 bite of a hot dog
@LABEAST maybe next year we'll getem!!!you'll always be the man because legend never die!!!
You’re awesome man. I’ve been watching your channel for 10 years and some of those memories feel like they were just yesterday. Glad to see you’re still here making content even with all the challenges throughout the years.
BEASSSSSTTTT! Always been a competitor buddy!!
You’ll will always have a fan in me no matter what you’re doing on here, you’re a crazy likeable dude, we could all just watch you talk and the true fans will always love it. Your content is just the bonus brother!
You are a tremendous inspirational athlete. I am honored to see your journey. Thanks for being the one and only... LA BEAST.
This may be the greatest video that you’ve ever released, my friend. It’s always a good day when you drop a new video.
This video is one of my favorite videos of yours I've ever seen. Entertaining for a completely different reason than most. You're a great storyteller!
Yeah this was a really good one
Very fun video, LA Beast! 👍
And thanks for the shoutout to San José, not only the hometown of both Joey Chestnut and Matt Stonie, but also home of the San Jose Sharks 🏒 and the San Jose Earthquakes. ⚽️
This LA Beast trip down memory lane was gentle on my mind and happy to have been along for the ride since 2011! 🔥 ❤
thanks for all of your support
You may not have won a coveted Mustard Belt or spot at the contest, but you will always be a champion in my mind Beast!
thanks henry
Facts😊
I can confirm that Badlands is indeed, a man of many hugs. I travelled to the Nathan's contest in 2019 from the UK and he greeted me in the spray zone (at some silly time in the morning, like 6am if I remember correctly) with the biggest hug of my entire life. The man is just so kind and approachable , it doesn't matter to him who you are. He's a natural "people person." And treats everyone with the same level of respect.
Thanks for sharing some of the "behind the scenes" stuff that was going on back then. I've always enjoyed the content you create, and I especially enjoy the authenticity of it all. Take care L.A. Beast!
I returned because of nostalgia and stayed because of The Beast
thanks for popping back in
@@LABEAST thanks for never quitting
Feel like Ive been watching since I was 20 and im 34 now. Always an instant click when the Beast uploads.
thanks for still tuning in
It was so cool hearing the whole story, thanks so much for sharing!! Beautifully executed.
This was a delightful story time. I've been watching you ever since the fateful Crystal Pepsi vomit vid and your content has never missed a beat all through these years.
Keep rockin' life, Beast.
Keep on truckin yourself
I've been watching competitive eating for several years. You're definitely the most entertaining. Thanks for the memories, L.A. Beast!
Can we all agree that LABeast is an absolute G.O.A.T legend? Thank you for uploading another awesome video@ LABeast. Have a great day.👊😎💖
thanks for always tuning in Louisa
Great LA Beast history lesson, we need and deserve a high budget documentary of this Beast among men!
A $10,000 budget is enough
@@LABEASTI'd put up 1000 if it ever gets funded!
Love that look behind the L.A. Beast scenes! Seeing your face light up is golden, beast! So much epic hard work and determination and physical punishment! Amazing!
Many great times hanging out back in the day
Thanks for sharing the memories Beast. Impressed by all the footage you saved going back so many years.
Thank you L.A. Beast for helping me through the year. Your videos always cheer me up
thanks for tuning in !!
Love ya Skippy…no matter what you’ll always be one of my fav competitive eaters, nobody’s got the wholesome energy like you.
I've watched the videos for about 7 years now and you never fail to put on a show man. Love the old videos of you driving. Gives me a nostalgia feeling even tho I wasn't there lol. Gotta love it
The story-telling format is VERY entertaining! Please do more of it!
ill have to gather a boat load of footage from something else now....maybe the bring back crystal pepsi movement
Love it!
@@LABEASThell yes!!!!!!!!!
@LABEAST yeaahhhh that was when I first really became a big fan of you Beast
What a fantastic story! 30 minutes flew by like nothing! Been watching you over 10 years, me and son love your content! Keep it up, Beast!!
have a good day Derek and Son
Just a genuine story time, and an actual story at that with real conflict and interests. crazy it’s been years since I watched and the contents only got better. Massive respect and love
There’s no way those hot dogs were healthy for long term health but dammit beast you never gave up. Truly inspiring
Definitely not
Nostalgically smiling 💚🤍🧡
Much love mr sir LA Beast.
We are happy to see how far you have came.
Stay golden pony boy 😂
Great video Beast! I enjoyed hearing the story. Maybe you could do some more of these and tell stories behind some of your videos and the aftermath and recovery afterwards.
the possibilities are there
You're truly an incredible dude. I've been following you for many many years. Like a significant level of time across many different UA-cam accounts lol. I've always supported you and always considered you to be one of the greatest out there. Keep up the awesome work. These stories are incredible.
The Joey Chestnut had me rolling!😂 You are tge man Beast! Go Bills!
Go bills
I had a really shitty day but this video was so amusing, i forgot it all. Youre a legend man, the butter-stick story was hilarious
Still to this day LA Beast is priceless to see on UA-cam with each challenge.
Man it’s cool to still see you doing this I been watching you for like 9 years now man keep it up dude
Great stuff dude. I was aware of only some of this stuff. The LABEAST lore grows stronger. ✊🏼 Love you dude.
I never miss a video you post and this is probably my favorite that you have ever done. You are an amazing story teller. Would love to see more of this!
thanks for tuning in
you're the people's champ, never forget that Beast
Best thing about you beast is you’re so down to earth, and you have such a good memory, you’re the kind of person who appreciates every moment on this world and that’s the way it’s done, genuine love for everything you do 🙌🏼
Love the flash back tour. You've done a lot of impressive challenges and accomplishment. Badlands it's awesome and seems like the nicest dude ever. Was fun to watch. Great video
Man, competitive eating fried asparagus has to be the most twisted discipline anyone can think of, mad respect Beast. Have a good daaaay!
if aliens ever visit we need the LA BEAST to be humanity's ambassador because he is the realest of them all
That was a fun walk down memory lane. I can't say I watch 30 minute videos often but I really enjoyed thus. Good stuff, thanks Beast
I hope you and the family are doing well.
You are equally as legendary as everyone mentioned in this video
And it was you not badlands that walked away with the $500 at cupcakes I believe
@@LABEAST LOL all good here. Cupcakes was a strange one. I was actually the first person done my cupcakes and I just got to watch Pat keep pounding them down. Always loved how passionate you were, but never more so then when you ate the goats organs LOL
I would like to say part of the reason why I got severely ill in 2015 for 2 months was because I ate goat organs
He didn’t need to win any of those competitions, because he won the heart of the people. LA Beast forever!
Definitely not all people
@@LABEAST Well I mean yeah but it’s like how The Rock is known as “The people’s champion”. You do got the millions after all
Love ya Beast!
Much Love
Always a good day when Beast drops a new upload.
thanks for popping in
You have made me laugh until I was damn near injured more times than I can count. An eater, an artist, and a helluva guy. ❤
What a heartwarming video!
Chasing your dreams is never about reaching or achieving them (that's just a bonus for the lucky ones), it's about everything that happens along the way and the memories made.
Thanks for all the amazing content!
Such dedication! Respect to you, sir. You are the LA Beast! 🎉🎉🎉
No matter what it’s been an amazing ride with amazing people. I can’t wait to see what the future holds. ❤
Dude…I’ve been watching this guy since I was a weee lad and I’m so happy he’s part of my life! Thanks for pushing me to try new things man. You truly do have a lions heart.
Thanks for your backstory, was always curious how people get into competitive eating and the pro scene, especially how you got into it all, thanks for the video bro you’re a legend take care 💪
Man, it's crazy how I watched your Eating a Ghost Chili Pepper video when I was a 14 and still watching and enjoying your videos to this day keep eating on L.A Beast
It is pretty crazy I suppose
Great video, what a privilege to learn more about the L.A. Beast.
Beast,
I love and support you for being you. Watching your food eating career flourish is just an added bonus.
Have a good dayyy!
This was incredibly awesome, Beast! Your storytelling in this was incredible. I didn't know that much about competitive eating, but it was sure fun to watch this and learn more. It was great to see Eric Badlands in there as well! I never connected the dots. Outstanding! :)
Badlands is one of my fav professional eaters
You know, you might be upset about not being able to go, but we' re proud of you man. You and Stonie are the absolute GOATS of UA-cam and I would KILL to see you two in a video together someday. All and all, watching you go from zero to hero to legend on this platform has been something insane and from your first vaporized beer to your hot nuts in a tree video, I'm here for it all. You're too humble for your own good, Beast. We love you to DEATH.
One of the best videos you've ever made ... was so cool to see so much of your history
It was cool to gather material and piece this story together
Watching this made me feel like one of the boys. You’re such an awesome dude Beast. Thanks for sharing. 👊🏻
👊🏻
Gotta respect the hustle and the dedication 👊🏼
Love hearing your stories, would definitely be stoked for more videos like this!
Story time with LA Beast Bay Bay.. this might be my fav video of yours, great story and really appreciate you pulling back the curtain!
Man I believe we're around the same age and I love these memories you bring back to life my friend.
I remember watching Takeru Kobayashi in the early 2000's doing a competitive eating contest on TV, thinking that there was no way this tiny little Japanese dude stood a chance against all those huge guys. How wrong I was.
Thank you for sharing this amazing story! You made my day!
Since watching your videos recently, I have converted my whole family to your content. The wholesomeness you bring in each video is appreciated.. Much love LA Beast, hope you are doing well
This was next level video, Mr. L.A. Beast. Thank you for sharing all these great memories.
What a lovely recollection of competitive eating legends. No matter where you end up, we'll always be cheering you on like proud moms, Beast!
what a great video and amazing story!! your storytelling skills are just one of many things that make you such an awesome entertainer. i love that you are always pursuing what interests you and what you find fun. and this video is a great reminder that it really is about all the experiences we have and the connections we make, even if we didn't end up exactly where we originally wanted to be. LA BEAST RULES!!!
Thanks man for all the good times i appreciate all that you and stomach has done for us😊
This was awesome. Loved hearing these stories and seeing actual video proof of stuff. Great video as always BEAST
I would love to see you and BeardMeatsFood do a collaboration and try out different restaurant challenges! I think you two would work super well together!!! Also, Great video, I really enjoy your story telling!
Yeeeaaah it's Beast time! Been waiting for an upload, missed ya brother Beast...
ive got two ideas on the table so stay tuned
