Raw Dog The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs

"

So this is a creator on TikTok simply named Hillary with one L and Hillary is talking about a book that she read by friend of the network, Jamie Loftus.

I'm pretty sure Jamie Loftus has been on I said no gifts.

I've known about her for a long time from Twitter and her being a writer and stuff. And she came out with a book called raw dog and it's about hot dogs, but it's also about a bunch of other stuff.

No, it's a nonfiction.

And the reason that this creator was making a TikTok is because Jamie Loftus tells the story about how Auntie Anne's pretzels was created and it is very surprising and very empowering.

And so if there's a person I don't know on TikTok telling me about the book written by a person I kind of have heard of, I'm going to get in the middle and try to get some credit there.

Yeah. So read raw dog by Jamie Loftus.

Yeah, let's all read it together.

And then Karen mentioned the book Raw Dog, The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs on last week's episode and this week the book's author Jamie Loftus.

You're welcome. What a spicy plug that was. Gorgeous. Gorgeous plug.

I have heard that the subject of that episode, George Shea, that the hot dog eating community is actively protecting him from its existence. He does not know it exists. He does not know the book.

So it's so good to be here to talk about things. This is like the thingiest thing available, I think.

I read this book in OK, I don't know how you're actually supposed to divide up. If you stand up to go to the bathroom in the middle of a sitting, is that still one sitting?

But is it now increased to two? Yeah. So I read this book in one sitting and it was great. Oh, one sitting with a with a bathroom break there.

I think there was two technically. But yeah, yeah. It was a good time.
