Joey Chestnut does KNBR interview on 26th birthday
(from Paul Davis email) Joey Chestnut spent a portion of his 26th birthday today doing an interview with KNBR. A 30 minute podcast of his appearance is available. Some notes from the podcast:
- Joey attributes his defeat at the 2009 Asparagus Festival to the first wave of the swine flu
- Joey says he receives $30,000 – $40,000 for competing in Nathan’s
- Joey calls Pat Bertoletti his “little brother” (Joey’s comments about Pat, Eater X, Sonya Thomas and “El Wingador” occur at the 15 minute mark of the podcast.)
- A caller asks Joey how he compares to Eddie “Bozo” Miller

Wow! Now that is news. If he said that publicly, there will be some reactions (understatement). Happy Thanksgiving to you. Always at the helm, oj.
