Skins Hot Dog Record Challenge! Can I Beat A Pro Eater?!

Today, we’re in Easley, SC at Skins Hot Dogs to take on their chili dogs record challenge. @Beardmeatsfood was here a little while ago to claim the spot and today I’ll see if I can take it from him. He was able to eat 20 chili dogs in 15 minutes 53 seconds so all I have to eat is 21 chili dogs in the same time… sounds easy.

[@garyshearer0]

beard speeds up the eating and leave in the banter which he's good at. makes it seem more casual than he's actually taking it. good job.

[@Bit_Fail]

I think beard could do 20 in under 10 minutes but he was respectful and left a time that could still be challenged. That being said, well done for beating the record.

[@TheLyonShare]

Oh he definitely left the door open

[@johndreker1613]

You have to remember that Beard is a pro and trains for this stuff. He made it look like a walk in the park because it was easy for him, BUT it was easy for him because of his training. I'm sure he could crush the record you set, either time and/or amount if he knew it ahead of time. That definitely isn't a knock against you, what you did is beyond impressive, but he stopped at 20 because he had the record and he had about an hour to spare on the old time. Good luck making it to Coney Island! Just keep practicing and one day you can make this look (and feel) easy too. Nice video!

[@TheLyonShare]

Thanks for the encouragement. I’m still training every day to become a better eater so that one day I can be on that level 💪🏼

[@K67115]

yea I've noticed Beard does tend to stop once he's reached a new record when he could easily keep going...there was 1 video where he jokingly said how he didn't wanna dethrone the current record holder cause they were a hometown guy lol But the op is correct you did an amazing job William considering the fact that you aren't a professional eater like Mr. Beard, lol hope you get to the level you want, good luck

[@MrBlack252]

I enjoyed this, your commentary is soothing in a way. You're one of those people that I could listen to on video commentary for everything. You just have one of the voices bro. Great video, good job on the record. New subscriber man.

[@TheLyonShare]

Man, you have no idea. My voice is actually something I’m pretty insecure about 😅 I listen to myself talk and think I sound so dry and boring… thanks man. I needed to hear that!

[@Intermedation]

Well done! Glad I found out about you taking on the challenge from Facebook and look forward to see what else you do here!

[@TheLyonShare]

Thank you. I’ll do my best!

[@johnblyth9787]

William, nice to see you, and congrats on 21 dogs. Please leave Adams records alone, take that with a grain of salt. He was the first pro eater I watched and to this day is still my favourite eater. You not only beat him, you done 30% more dogs. Love to see yourself and Beard in a double header. You have a new subscriber. Look foward to more from you

[@TheLyonShare]

Trust me, Beard is on another level. I’m still pretty new at this and he’s a seasoned veteran.

[@kevinlucas8437]

Adam makes it look effortless !!! But nice job getting the record !!! Family owned ❤❤❤

[@TheLyonShare]

Yeah. Hopefully I’ll get to his level one day!

[@jwsoton9300]

Ummmm very impressive but a proper timer onscreen would've proved it to be true, no timer on display and lots of editing is very suspect.. Very strange not to have a live timer on display when you're trying to beat a record🤷

[@TheLyonShare]

I understand. I’m still new at recording these videos so I’ll take that into consideration for future videos. For confirmation, the restaurant manager had has own timer that he was watching that was the official timer. I just bring my timer along to remind me where I am in the challenge. Thanks for the notes!

[@tncatrn]

J boy needs to calm down. Very suspect? Come on son…. Not likely that manager would have let a suspect record stand

[@user-od4bu7rt6g]

I agree with that people would have believe the time he said if the there was a time on the screen without this guy saying the time people might believe him if they was a time on the screen showing the time

[@TheLyonShare]

@@user-od4bu7rt6g I understand. I’m new at this whole KZbin eater thing and I plan on correcting this for future videos. Subscribe and check in and I’ll make sure I do everything necessary to make my vids legit👍🏻

[@CreamAle]

@jwsoton9300 yes, because the manager would give him the title without him beating the challenge... Absolutely, that's exactly how things work, in fact after this record was beaten I hear it was given to a 9 year old kid who ate half a hotdog. C'mon mate, if he got the title in the store it's because he did it. Just like beard heavily cuts and edits his video and usually doesn't have a physical timer on the table for you to stare at but instead has an edited timer which could literally say any time on it... Just congratulate the fella and move on.

[@toddveden5302]

New subscriber from Northwest Indiana!!!! Impressive win dude

[@TheLyonShare]

Appreciate it! It won’t be the last! I’ve got a lot of eating challenges planned! Stay tuned!

[@TheLyonShare]

They’re coming soon. I’ve got a couple planned in the next week or so. Just letting my body recover

Hi William - Just subscribed. I watched Beard's video a while back, and you just beat him. Congrats. Thanks for the video.

[@TheLyonShare]

Beard’s on another level. He left the door open and I just walked through. Thanks for the sub! I appreciate the love ❤️

[@briangrundy84]

Great job man!!

[@TheLyonShare]

[@cathylarkins9949]

WELL DONE YOUNG MAN😊😊the hot dogs looked delish and congrats to the young man who is continuing his family’s legacy

[@TheLyonShare]

Thanks for the encouragement! It’s a lot of hard work, actually.

[@Bladesmobile]

I’m glad beard has made this place get a few more record breakers being as the one before him had been 12 years in the standing

[@TheLyonShare]

I agree. As someone who loves doing these challenges, the best part is being able to bring in new customers to small businesses.

[@gloriatownes3442]

Good job 👍🏿 keep up the good work 🥳

[@TheLyonShare]

Thanks man. Always trying to improve

[@user-gf7kp8ub9h]

Beard gonna catch you !! 🧔‍♂️🧔‍♂️🧔‍♂️

[@TheLyonShare]

Let him

[@MossyBear]

This was so cool to see in comparison to Adam's video! I imagine you'll be a seasoned veteran at some point, and looking back on this video will seem wild to you :)

[@TheLyonShare]

I’m hoping so! I’ve still got a lot of work to do, but I’m looking forward to it. Thanks for the positivity😊

[@stewartmercer19]

Nice one. Well done. Regardless on how Beard done his stint...you beat it fair and square...

[@TheLyonShare]

And I live close so I’ll always be around to defend the record!💪🏼

[@moelong502]

New subscriber from GA . Great job. You also have an awesome personality! BTW, any relation to Michael

[@TheLyonShare]

Not that I know of 🤔

[@4tuneagent]

Just watched the Beard video today, and now this one popped up. Impressive chili dog eating! Actually, you only had to beat the amount to win. You could have been over on the time, and it still resets the record. If someone ties you, with a quicker time, then of course, they would have it..

[@TheLyonShare]

And if that ever happens, I’ll be back to defend my title!

[@bleezair]

Adam is such a huge figure in this occupation that he’s literally creating nemeses 😂 great to see his influence growing the game. That being said, it’s definitely out of pocket to say you’ve dethroned the Beard, when you’ve challenged just ONE of his hundreds of records 😆 take one of those napkins, wipe behind your ears and slam a few dozen more of his records, then start using his name for clout and attention. If you can do that, I’ll subscribe. Best of luck to ya! Cheers from Canada! 🇨🇦

[@TheLyonShare]

I’m new. Just watch me. Even the mighty oak must start as a sapling. BTW, I just beat his time at the BBQ place and added more to the challenge😘 Thanks for the motivation! Love from South Carolina ❤️ 🌴 🌙 Looking forward to putting in the work to earning your sub!

Well done, yea noice.👍 More practice eating dogs to figure out your pace rate/time per minute etc eating comfortably, helps you easily figure out how much time you have for banter. Congrats on the win and good luck at HDEComp qualifying, will cheer for you if you make Nathan's.

[@glamour_wigprodigy9212]

Uh….I’m sorry….what were you eating? I was too busy watching the eater!!! Wink wink!! Cute bloated belly btw!

[@lordsteppergod7269]

I feel bad for his toilet

[@TheHungryHobo]

stopped what I was doing to watch this... guessing those were 120grams-ish each, so like 5.5 to 6 pounds minimum, plus liquids... Not an easy feat! Not ever challenge has to be about speed, plus it's good to leave a challenge that someone else has a chance to beat in the future! For speed contests I like to do 1 pound challenges and see how fast I can improve on them, trying to eat a 400 gram pizza in under 1 minute... practice it twice in a row... or easier food I like to speed eat is lasagna and burritos. Cheers, keep the momentum going!

[@TheLyonShare]

Good advice. And yeah, I agree about the burritos. Especially a wet burrito. Those are fun to speed eat.

[@USMC-dr5wc]

Stay humble many pro eaters will leave room for others to beat them because they want it to be still achievable look at many top eaters like Joel and man others they don't want to kill it because they can they want local not competitors to try if they kill it from the get go the challenge for the restaurant becomes pointless. It needs to be obtainable from the non competitive perspective so keep that in mind!!! I followed good luck with your journey!

[@TheLyonShare]

Trust me I’m humble. Beards on another level and I mention that in the video. I still have a long way to go, but in the same token, I could’ve easily done 28 in the same time period. I wanted to be polite to the establishment and hold conversation with my friend. Thanks for the sub! Hope you enjoy the content. I do my best to try and make it entertaining ☺️

[@skipknapp4965]

Nice start if your new but not smart come at pro's like Adam and a on screen timer is a must if you want to validate you wins in my eye's and ma y other's as well

[@TheLyonShare]

I’ll tell ya like I told everyone else. I’m deeply sorry for the timer issue. I’m new at KZbin and I’m doing my best to fix the problem. If it would make you happy, I’ll go back someday soon and beat my own record with a timer because this actually was pretty easy compared to other challenges I’ve done.

I tried contacting @BeardMeatsFood, but that’d be like the lead singer hearing someone in the nosebleeds..😒

[@daveyarbrough3776]

Yeah no timer on screen and beard would crush you if you guys were across from each other. You think your ready for Nathans? Lol

[@TheLyonShare]

Beard most likely would crush me, but I’m just starting off and really only do this for fun. I’m not ready for Nathan’s yet, but I’m working hard to try and get there. 👍🏻

[@ryanmillions1]

No on screen timer.

Yeah I’m still new at editing videos and getting everything set up. I had a little timer beside me and the owner was keeping an official timer. I’ll try to fix this in future videos. 👍🏻

[@TheLyonShare]

Had my timer beside me. The owner was watching the official timer. I’m still new at making videos so I know now I need to have a visible timer. I’ve been doing these challenges for years and never needed to worry about an on screen timer, but I’ll do my best to try to fix this and be as transparent as possible. In the meantime, if you don’t believe me, you can visit the Skins fan page on FB where the owner posted about me breaking the record or you can call them and check. Be well✌🏻

It was a BBQ plate challenge. But for all videos in the future, I’ll do my best to make sure there’s a legit on screen timer. Apologies again.

If you are doing an eating challenge, talking is not needed. Just crush that food, talk later.

If I’m able to accomplish both, I try to. It just feels polite to the company I’m sharing. There have been times, however, where I apologize and have to tell whoever that I need to shut up and eat!

if you did spend less time talking you could eat more... when you try to breake a record you DO NOT TALK... People need to shut up and leave you alone.

[@TheLyonShare]

Also, I used iMovie for all the editing which only allows you to speed things up by 2Xs. I don’t think you understand how time works. The challenge took me less than 16 minutes. Most of it sped up 2Xs would yield a clip a little over 8 minutes long (due to parts where I slow down) then there was the intro and some interview stuff after the challenge which is why the video is the length it is. Dude, I’m brand new at this. I just ordered a timer and it’ll be present in all the videos from now on. I’ll even refer to it as the acid man if that’ll make you happy.
