Jody Matheson set a personal record on Tuesday, as the Toronto Blue Jays played the New York Yankees in Toronto. But it wasn't with a big hit, or a record amount of strikeouts.


Matheson and his friend Ryan Rushton, who both grew up in Brantford, Ont., are the self-proclaimed Loonie Dog Kings, and they wear the big hot dog outfits to match the title.

Matheson ate his 105th hot dog of the season.

Every Tuesday Jays game, concessions at the Rogers Centre sells hot dogs for just a dollar each.

This season the Jays hosted 11 such nights, and according to the team, it was a record-breaking year for the promotion. Fans chowed down on 693,865 hot dogs, an increase of over 200,000 than in 2022.

Matheson and Rushton ate a combined 245 hot dogs, with Rushton eating 140 alone.

Joey Chestnut just laughs in their direction!
