Good morning, Winners! Welcome again to the Morning Win. Thanks a lot for rocking with us as we speak. We respect you giving us a little bit of your time.
How on Earth is it not Sunday proper now? Yesterday needed to be essentially the most Saturday-est Thursday within the historical past of Thursdays.
Clearly, it was the 4th of July. And I hope you had a fantastic one full of grilled delectables, no matter your beverage was, and a few stable fireworks. It’s solely proper.
By all means, the vacation was cool. I chefed it up on the grill myself. We crowed a brand new glizzy gobbler champion for the primary time in endlessly at Nathan’s Scorching Canine Consuming contest. We additionally noticed a brand new report established for consecutive wins by Miki Sudo on the ladies’s facet. Kendrick additionally dropped the “Not Like Us” video and it was as improbable because the tune is. Drake, you already knew this, but it surely’s over for you, buddy.
However look, gang. I’m going to say the factor we’re all considering proper now: Ensuring we needed to rise up and are available to work the following day was only a diabolical transfer by 2024. It’s simply straight-up supervillain stuff.
It’s not anyone’s fault, actually. Holidays fall in the midst of a piece week on a regular basis. It’s cool. It’s no matter.
Nevertheless it’s the mixture of the 4th of July falling on a Thursday that has us all cooked proper now.
We’d have been higher off if it fell on a Wednesday or perhaps a Tuesday. No less than the rhythm of your week isn’t utterly disrupted. A Monday or Friday vacation would’ve blessed us with a three-day weekend.
However nah. As an alternative, we get the dreaded Thursday vacation, which is objectively the worst day potential for a vacation. Don’t get me mistaken — it’s a blast! You’re virtually at all times going to have enjoyable on a Thursday vacation. Nevertheless it’s such a tease! You’re trying on the clock since you understand “Wow, wait, I’ve received to rise up at 7 a.m. tomorrow!” It’s a present and a curse. It’s the Tremendous Bowl with out the soccer sport. I don’t know how the next Monday isn’t a vacation but.
Let’s agree by no means to have a Thursday 4th of July once more. We’ve got to battle again. Don’t fear — I’ve an answer. If it falls on a Thursday once more, we’ll simply do July third twice to push the 4th to Friday. Increase. Drawback solved. Three-day weekend beginning off with fireworks.
That doesn’t make any sense, certain. However we already do loads of issues on the calendar that don’t make sense. Have you ever ever heard of Daylight Financial savings time? What in regards to the Leap Yr? That’s what I assumed.
Be part of me in my campaign, of us. No extra Thursday 4th of July. Move it on.

Joey Chestnut wasn’t at Nathan’s Scorching Canine Consuming contest this yr for the primary time in a very long time.
It’s an extended story which you could study right here, however to make that lengthy story brief, he couldn’t take part on this yr’s Nathan’s Scorching Canine Consuming contest due to his sponsorship with Not possible Meals. It’s foolish. However these are the foundations, I suppose.
Irrespective of. He’s nonetheless the king of Glizzy Gobbling, of us. He didn’t simply sit idle and lose his crown this yr — he confirmed us he’s nonetheless in his absolute prime.
He went to a different scorching canine consuming contest in Fort Bliss, Texas, and ate almost as many scorching canine because the Nathan’s champion did in half the time. Right here’s Charles Curtis with extra on that:
“Patrick Bertoletti took the Nathan’s Scorching Canine Contest crown from Joey Chestnut on Thursday after Chestnut needed to bow out as a result of his partnership with Not possible Meals. Bertoletti ate 57 scorching canine within the allotted 10 minutes, which is fairly spectacular.
However maybe Chestnut knew he needed to make a press release. So at Fort Bliss in Texas later that day, Chestnut did a five-minute contest and ate … 57 scorching canine.”
Chestnut was CHOMPING.
Joey Chestnut: 57 scorching canine in 5 minutes
Patrick Bertoletti: 58 scorching canine in 10 minutes 🤯
