Joey Chestnut career earnings
Specific sponsorship details are hard to come by, but in 2014 alone, Chestnut reportedly made $230,000. His 12 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest victories have resulted in a combined $120,000 worth of winnings. According to EatFeats, Chestnut has made close to $600,000 in his eating career since 2005, and that doesn't account for various unknown sponsorship deals.

I wonder how he keeps in shape in the offseason.

It came on during lunch. The kids were chowing down but I had to wait. It was really weird with them being in some sort of abandoned warehouse massacring hot dogs in virtual silence.

It was weird. The old MC was certainly into.
I enjoyed the corn hole tournament that came on afterwards a lot more.

I have never heard anyone say " thank the Lord I have good mental health."

But as someone who struggles with depression, social anxiety outside work, and sometimes suicidal thoughts...mental health is priceless to those who have it.

Yall know my little Bro killed himself a couple years ago, before both grandparents and my dad died. He was only 25. It's a special kind of Hell when you are your own worst enemy and greatest threat to life. Some people just arent capable of experiencing life the way most people do. We don't know how to be happy...or how to be comfortable in our own skins...no matter what that looks like. Even self loathing is still selfish behavior in a sense. It's another way of thinking about self when we should be thinking about God and other folks.

The truest words ever spoken were "ignorance is bliss." I believe that intelligence and happiness have an inversely proportional relationship ..which I am certainly no Rhodes Scholar...but I am far closer to that , than being ignorantly content.

Just something that was in my head. I tend to delete 2 or 3 posts for everyone that actually gets posted. Anyway, Go Vols.

GrandVol update:

He received a recognition at work. Came with a bonus in the past. Since the company is struggling, he got a pat on the back. Hopefully collegiate sports is on the horizon. If not, he may have to make a change.

I got his email if any yall need to be schooled on guns, gun laws, and bestiality laws in your state.

Got my headphones. ATP I am not crazy about the sound. Too processed, so need to tweak around. I should of known as I bought a Boss pedal board 15 years ago and never liked the Boss sound. Or maybe it is just my sucky playing.

The funeral was in Murfreesboro, which I thought was odd but he must be part of the World Outreach Church. RIP Charlie.

I didn't know where the funeral was going to be held. I didn't read up on it today. I saw on the news the other night someone was saying he was born in Wilmington, NC. I was thinking they would have it there but whatever.
May he rest in peace. Charlie Daniels - Wikipedia I know I'll miss him. At least his music hasn't been pulled yet.
