This week, we've got an excellent question from Hot dog Slim. What do Nathan's Hot Dogs and dead whales have in common? We address the history of the celebrated Nathan's Hot Dogs chain, peeling back the years to see where things could have gone terribly wrong. With hard work and dedication, hot dogs became a cultural favorite... even with mistakes along the way. And we're definitely planning on talking about a few of those.

This week, we reached 50 episodes, and it's been a journey! We've grown our listeners by leaps and bounds and gotten them from countries all over the world. We've finally started getting listener questions, and they've been amazing. For episode 50, enjoy this supersized whale of a listen!
