  • any sane person would stop now, genuinely.

  • Hey guys, welcome to Morioka city about two hours north of Tokyo, home to the greatest food challenge in all of Japan, the banks or the noodle challenge today to join me as we embark on this nightmarish meal is the greatest thing to come out of Wales since tom jones is of course, see dog Connor v a thank you for having me.

  • Why is it that?

  • Every time I see you, the weather is just awful.

  • You bring the welsh weather with, I gotta ask you, did you, did you say the name correctly?

  • Is it, is it, it doesn't sound good.

  • Don't get, don't get this video demonetized with your pronunciation.

  • Just saying it's, you know, my mom would have some conservative.

  • I told her what I was seeing tonight.

  • Dear idea.

  • Morioka is famous for three noodle dishes.

  • They've got naming, which is like this cold noodle dish, They've got jar, jar men, which is always like a spaghetti bolognese and then they've got one silver and one gold, silver, wanker literally made, let's be careful here, a small bowl, a small little bowl and silver is of course sober buckwheat noodles and for this challenge you have to eat as many bowls of sober as possible in a short space of time.

  • I'm pretty good at eating challenges.

  • I think.

  • Well it's said that a real man should be able to eat over 100 bottles.

  • There's two things you got to do for this one point.

  • You gotta beat me, if you don't beat me, you will get bullied like the next 50 years.

  • So a normal day of my life.

  • But the real thing you're playing for is to get 100 bowls because if you eat 100 bowls of soba noodles, a good friend of mine right.

  • He recently got me access to the greatest hotel room in all of Tokyo and I've got access to go in and film and stay the night and if you get over 100 bowls, You're going to come with me and get the five star hotel experience you crave and think you deserve.

  • No way.

  • No.

  • How much is the room?

  • It was like $6,000, Never.

  • You would never guard your way to get that luxury to move.

  • It's going to happen if you get 100 bowls.

  • I mean if you fail, I'm taking Joey the anime man instead.

  • I'm not even joking, I'm deadly serious.

  • Alright let's do it.

  • Let's do wacky weekend, Let's die.

  • Mhm.

  • It's said that the origins of the wang saw the noodle challenge date back hundreds of years when a powerful lord visiting the region was offered a small bowl of the local soba noodles.

  • He enjoyed it so much that he kept asking for more and thus the challenge was born.

  • Currently the all time record stands at a ridiculous 570 bowls held by a local woman living In the city of Morioka though.

  • My own personal record stands at just a pitiful 118 bowls when I went head to head with my arch nemesis, Ryutaro five years ago, tragically he beat me by just three bowls and it's a record that I hoped to crush going head to head with Connor today and my voice is getting gruffly and serious because I'm in business.

  • Mhm.

  • Alright, so I gotta say I'm not hungry, you're not hungry.

  • Did you eat anything today?

  • Little Sandwich?

  • The Lasagna three hours ago for lunch.

  • You've got cemented your stomach, you've got to eat something to help your stomach expand before you take it.

  • That much fish.

  • I'm not worried.

  • I really want to get 100 you'll be fine.

  • You know what the record is this place?

  • You know what is it?

  • A girl that came here?

  • 8, 450 bowls in just 10 minutes.

  • It took nearly a bowl of seconds.

  • Exactly.

  • So I think you could do it.

  • I think 100 bowls isn't outside the realm of possibility and it's not that much noodles.

  • How much is in that one bowl?

  • Like how many pasta strands?

  • You said six?

  • There's enough.

  • You sort of shot, you shot it with noodles and you can't stop if you stop for too long.

  • They basically just pour the next one of the bowls the moment you finish, the woman comes in, drops it in the bowl and you've got to go again.

  • So it's very fast.

  • It's very relentless, but it's good to have you ever been like six was nearly sick first of God, why why can't we go to the hotel?

  • You've got to earn your hotel, You gotta earn your five stars.

  • Like dance, monkey dancing the noodles.

  • My doctor said my cholesterol was awful.

  • I hope you don't watch this.

  • How awful.

  • Like really bad.

  • Really really bad.

  • Why don't know why?

  • Because I mean sucking wank us over 100 bowls, fucking because I'm here doing this ship, you'll be fine.

  • But who do you think is gonna win guys?

  • Let us know in the comments predicted.

  • Who do you think the guy with the lasagna for like one snack guy who ate the lasagna like that?

  • I didn't go looking goblin probably did.

  • But who do you think is gonna win?

  • Cameraman, which is charlotte and Japan.

  • My prediction goes to Connor.

  • What?

  • I'm not predicting me, you're those eating videos where you eat like one of everything.

  • I feel like if you can handle that, you can handle it, we'll see, we'll see if it tastes good.

  • I think I can do it.

  • It's pretty good.

  • I've never been this nervous for a video.

  • I don't want to be sick.

  • I had 109.

  • I think it was the last time I did it.

  • So you got a big shower as well, 109 we'll see, we'll see how it goes.

  • You ready?

  • Come on, let's get it.

  • I can do this, I can do this because eating 100 bowls of salty noodles takes its toll alongside the wang sober.

  • You get side dishes such as tuna, chicken and radishes.

  • However nobody ever eats that.

  • Trust me in the heat of the moment, the last thing you want is more food.

  • It's so tight strangling myself before I eat the bloody needles.

  • Chris doesn't go in the kitchen often shut this bucket.

  • Each one comes with sauce and the sauce goes in there.

  • You sort of tip it away.

  • You'll see, you'll see very quickly how this transport the backwash of them.

  • You get hungry after.

  • You never want to eat so you don't want to buy the evening, you get hungry.

  • Okay?

  • No you don't.

  • I'm really nervous.

  • I'm never this nervous or video.

  • I've done like really hard things in my life and this is the one I'm most scared of.

  • Get some tuna with it.

  • I guess we can have like a break.

  • Yeah.

  • Break all this food.

  • Yeah may the better man win which is me.

  • Alright.

  • I'm pretty hungry.

  • Oh my god, this is absurd.

  • He's done already.

  • Don't chew.

  • Just swallow this is insane, fucking look at him.

  • He's a machine and it does taste good but he said don't chew it and I'm not doing it, this is a poor dishwasher in this building.

  • Look at this one dishwasher dishwasher.

  • They must, they must have like five dishwashers and one chef, how am I already like five bowls ahead of me because I couldn't, I couldn't get the noodles.

  • Let me focus on.

  • I recommend you get a little bit of Wasabi.

  • Put some Wasabi in the bar and it gives it a nice sort of subtle.

  • Not too much.

  • Don't show to death but don't like Wasabi.

  • You don't like it.

  • I like fresh Wasabi and I find taste.

  • Here we go again.

  • I barely chewed a single bowl.

  • My stomach must be just like can't be good.

  • It can't be good.

  • No, we're not.

  • Come here to read the health benefits of saber.

  • I wish there are many perfect.

  • It's like the healthiest, most unpopular.

  • Oh my God, I'm just going so fast.

  • You know, I'm not thinking usually when I compete with someone, I want to destroy them, but I actually want to do well I want, I think you deserve that five star experience.

  • Do I do deserve that?

  • I'm glad you agree.

  • We've been to the worst hotel in Japan.

  • We've been to an abandoned theme park.

  • We've been on a ferry that made me violently sick and we've been in an abandoned shipyard right now.

  • I don't want to think about that.

  • Like I said earlier, there was a girl that did 450 bowls In 10 minutes.

  • Fast enough for seven minutes and we've done about 50.

  • It's a market.

  • Mm hmm.

  • I'm gonna die.

  • China has gone very quiet.

  • He's getting serious now.

  • That's when you know someone's going to struggle.

  • We're living halfway.

  • Are you not full at all?

  • You're telling me your stomach is not, I'm feeling a little bit full.

  • Yeah, I've got Jerry on speed dial, waiting to be invited to a five star best hotel room in the pound.

  • Come on.

  • Any sane person would stop now, genuinely.

  • They say it takes 20 minutes for your stomach.

  • You know, it's so I'm trying to five minutes, 20 minutes.

  • Oh my God, we must have done 60.

  • Yeah, we're doing pretty well.

  • Which is like the three times I've done this.

  • This is the fastest I've ever seen anyone do it.

  • You're not getting full that I'm trying to think about it.

  • Don't think about it as we hit the halfway mark and start to enter the danger zone.

  • Conor somehow takes the lead though.

  • It does seem he has help on the inside as someone tries to murder me mid mouthful.

  • Oh no.

  • Mhm, mm hmm.

  • I wonder if there's a fine if you projectile vomit all over the wall.

  • Oh my God, don't be sick on.

  • I keep driving.

  • I'm like 15 ahead of Chris.

  • Really?

  • Yeah.

  • Got off to a really good start.

  • Yeah, you did.

  • My stomach really hurts.

  • You can summarize his experience in one word.

  • It would be, I don't want to do this.

  • Okay.

  • Is it hot.

  • What do you want to get for dinner?

  • Death?

  • It's a nice bastard.

  • Hot dogs for dinner.

  • About a sick back.

  • Okay.

  • Are you not hurting?

  • I can feel things in my stomach like moving like I'm like I'm pregnant or something.

  • But with soba noodles and it's not nice.

  • Oh, why is it such a big portion as the bowls pile up around us?

  • Like a small city, even though Conner looks like he's about to be physically sick at any moment.

  • To my absolute horror, he maintains his lead until he hits a key milestone.

  • How many we are doing?

  • Well, this is where you start to feel sick 90 point he's worried about, Oh my God, this is gonna be like Shawshank redemption.

  • This last 10 getting out at the end of the tunnel.

  • He just wants to know how far behind it.

  • 100 Security.

  • There's even a miscount.

  • There's no way he overtook me that much at the start of 100.

  • How are you at 80.

  • How is it possible that lasagna?

  • Goddammit.

  • five more to beat Joey.

  • This is just me.

  • Mrs Payne.

  • I'm going to kill chris and this 100.

  • Oh no, sorry, Joey canceled speed dial Number 104.

  • Well, the function of my limbs is scarcely working sober is taking over my body like a parasite.

  • Can you beat my personal best?

  • No, I'm not going for that.

  • You know, I actually will throw up.

  • I think I think of the pride you'll feel.

  • I don't think I'll be able to 100?

  • I feel pretty ship now I'm done after this one.

  • I'm actually gonna give you another one.

  • Mm hmm, mm hmm.

  • Ah Measurable because my mouse All right, there's no stand up.

  • Oh, that hurts with Connor victorious.

  • I'm still struggling to make it to 100 bowls as my stomach feels like it's about to explode.

  • Uh huh.

  • Oh, I've got to do 100.

  • Surely don't touch me.

  • Oh goddamn it charlotte looks like you're right.

  • What do I get?

  • What's my prize?

  • I'm genuinely amazed that your big meal.

  • Are you sure charlotte's prediction was accurate.

  • I don't feel so painful.

  • I can't, I'm so full.

  • I can't even humor you with jokes.

  • The humor has left the building, but at least I've earned my hotel room.

  • Yeah, Well, I generally thought it was going to do it.

  • That's too difficult.

  • That was to what the leaning tower of wanking really fell over 10 seconds and it felt like, like you mentioned Matilda genuinely, genuinely you like how about 100 boats?

  • Corner, corner, corner, corner passed down in my family for generations.

  • Great.

  • It would really be hard to convince me to do this again.

  • I will say I did not enjoy that wouldn't you know, it looks kind of fun on camera, but it does, it looks like you can have a good time and you did and you're just like, I actually don't want to be in pain.

  • I actually don't want to hurt looking like that one pile on thanksgiving there.

  • I do feel physically sick like looking at the pile of needles, looking at what we've just consumed.

  • You know, like after a party and you're like, you clean up all the beer and bottles and stuff like that were just like, wow, we really discussed you think on paper that I would win, given that I'm clearly slightly larger than it is odd.

  • I don't, I don't know where it all went wrong for me.

  • I think maybe I was talking too much.

  • I was getting on with it and I had a lasagna for lunch so I thought the lasagna would make my stomach figure and I could fill it with more.

  • But in reality my stomach just got filled with the lasagna.

  • I don't think, I don't think pro eaters eat before they eat plants, counterintuitive lesson learned for next time I'm not doing this again, I've done it like three times now with Nowitzki Rialto and, and I'm not, I'm not doing it ever again, but well done.
