ESPN posted a clip from their documentary, “The Good, the Bad, the Hungry,” showing how Joey, 35, trains to eat dozens and dozens of hot dogs for the contest.

Last year, Joey came in first after eating a record 74 hot dogs in 10 minutes. The year before, he won by eating 72 hotdogs. He has won the title 11 times.
