I'll say I feel like my biggest loss in competitive eating is whenever I was in Madison, Wisconsin. It was this past summer. I was eating steamed frog legs. And I've had frog legs in the past. I've eaten fried, I've eaten them steamed. I've eaten them a lot of different ways. And in this contest, well I've never eaten them competitively. And that's the thing I just underestimated. I just didn't train for them. I didn't think it would be any problem. And as I was eating them the meat was falling off the bone, I didn't want to swallow bones and I was kind of getting nervous. And it was a whole bunch of different factors, short contest, whatever. And a local guy, that is his first contest whatever. He beat myself, another pro. It was just, it was very embarrassing. I'm not a fan of losing to the local guy. It happens. It's happened but, it was just bad.
