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 wank sorba 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
sea dog conor va thank you for having me
chris here again why is it that every
time i see you the weather is just awful
you bring it to me
you bring the welsh weather with you
connor
and i gotta ask did you did you say the
name correctly is it is it
my mum would have some concerns if i
told her what i was eating tonight dear
idea morioka is famous for three noodle
dishes they've got neyman which is like
this cold noodle dish they've got jar
jar men which is almost like a spaghetti
bolognese and then they've got wanker
sorbet and one silver one called
literally means let's be careful here a
small bowl a small little bowl okay and
silver is of course sober buckwheat
noodles and for this challenge you have
to eat as many bowls of soba as possible
in a short space of time i'm pretty good
at eating challenges i think yeah i
think so well it's said that uh a real
man should be able to eat over a hundred
bottles of wanka silver there's two
things you've got to do for this one
you've got to beat me if you don't beat
me you will get bullied like the next 50
years so a normal day in my life normal
day
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 i know how much
is the room it's like six thousand
dollars
six thousand dollars never you would
never guard your way to give that that
luxury to me it's gonna happen
all right if you get a hundred bowls i
mean if you fail all right okay i'm
taking joey the anime band instead
and i'm not even joking i'm deadly
serious
all right let's do it let's do wacky
weekend let's die
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
it's said that the origins of the wanker
saw the noodle challenge date back
hundreds of years when a powerful lord
visiting the region was offered a small
bowl of the local sober 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
ryotaro five years ago tragically he
beat me by just three bowls and it's a
record that i hope to crush going
head-to-head with connor today and my
voice is getting gruffly and serious
because i mean business
all right so
i i gotta say
uh i'm not hungry you're not hungry
oh god did you eat anything today a
little sandwich i had a lasagna
three hours ago for lunch you've got
cement in your stomach you've got to eat
something to help your stomach expand
before you take in that much food yeah
i'm not worried i really want to get
100. you'll be fine you know what the
record is at this place no what is it a
girl that came here ate 450 bowls in
just 10 minutes
that's like over that's like nearly a
bowl of seconds exactly so i think you
could do it i think 100 bowls isn't
outside the realms possibilities but
it's not that much noodles how much is
in that one bowl like how many pasta
strands
would you say six there's enough you
sort of shock it you shot it with
noodles and you can't stop if you stop
too long they they basically just pour
the next one in the bowl so the moment
you finish the woman comes in drops it
in the bone you've got to go again so
it's very fast it's very relentless but
it's good have you ever been like
accepted
i was nearly sick first time oh my god
oh why why can't we just go to the hotel
you've got to earn your hotel you've got
to earn your five stars you're like
dance monkey dance in the noodles my
doctor said my classroom was awful i
hope you don't watch this um
like really bad really yeah really bad
why i don't know why because i mean
[ __ ] wankers over 100 bowls that's
[ __ ] white
because i'm here doing this [ __ ]
you'll be fine in front but who do you
think is gonna win guys let us know in
the comments predict it
i don't know who do you think's gonna be
the guy with a lasagna for like one
snack
but who do you think is going to win
cameraman which is sharla in japan um my
prediction goes to connor what i'm not
predicting me you know those eating
videos where you eat like one of
everything i feel like if you can handle
that you can handle all right
noodles we'll see we'll see if it tastes
good i think i can do it maybe it does
it's pretty good i'm no i've never been
this nervous for a video i 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. all right we'll see we'll see
how it goes sorry okay are you ready
yeah let's do it come on let's get it i
can do this i can do this come on
because eating a hundred bowls of salty
noodles takes its toll alongside the
wanksoba you get side dishes such as
tuna chicken and radishes however nobody
ever eats them trust me in the heat of
the moment the last thing you want is
more food
i've
strangling myself
before i eat the bloody needles you tell
chris doesn't go in the kitchen often
shut up this bucket each wanker sober
comes with
uh sauce and the sauce goes in there you
sort of tip it away all right you'll see
you'll see very quickly how this is like
the back wash of the noodles yeah do you
get hungry actually you'll never want to
eat so yeah you won't want to eat it by
the evening did you get hungry at all no
okay no you do i'm really nervous i'm
never this nervous for videos
i've done like really hard things in my
life and this is the one i'm most scared
of
social media get some tuna with it i
guess we can have like a break
yeah a break i don't like all this food
that they're bringing in noodles
ready
yeah
may the better man win which is me all
right
[Music]
this is absurd
it does taste good but he said don't
chew it so i'm not chewing it
this is the poor dishwasher in this
building look at this
there's one dishwasher there with the
industrial dishwasher they must they
must have like five dishwashers in one
chef
how am i already like five bowls ahead
of me
i couldn't get the noodles
i recommend
you get a little bit of wasabi put some
wasabi in the bowl it gives it a nice
sort of supple not too much don't show
today i don't
i barely chewed a single bowl
my stomach must be just like can't be
good it can't be good no we not come
here
to reap the health benefits of savor i
wish there are many perfect it's it's
like the healthiest noodles is the most
popular dude 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 with stuff i
want i think you deserve that five-star
experience i do i do deserve it i'm glad
you're agreeing with me
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 ship yeah 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
how long we've been going
fast enough we've been going seven
minutes and we've done about 50.
oh gosh that's not good
[Music]
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 japan come on any
sane person would stop now i think
they say it takes 20 minutes for your
stomach
to know it's full so i'm trying to i
knew it five minutes like 20 minutes
we must have done 60. yeah we're doing
pretty well
this is like of the three times i've
done this this is the fastest i've ever
seen anyone do it you're not getting
full though yeah
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 connor somehow
takes the lead though it does seem he
has help on the inside as someone tries
to murder me mid-mouthful
[Music]
i wonder if there's a fine of your
projectile vomit all over the wall
oh my gosh
don't be sick connor i keep burping i'm
like 15 ahead of chris really
yeah
i got off to a really good start yeah
you did
my stomach really hurts
you could summarize this experience one
word fun would it be animal don't do
this
[Music]
where's it
a sick bag
are you not hurting yet i can feel
things in my stomach like moving
like i'm pregnant or something yeah but
with
sober noodles and it's not nice
[Music]
oh why is it such a big portion as the
bowls pile up around us like a small
city even though connor 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 90 way doing well
this is where you start to feel sick
the 90 point is really well yeah
oh my god this is going to be like
shawshank redemption this last 10
getting out the end of the tunnel
the short wank redemption mark
try to keep that in
how are you at 80.
how's it possible you kind of went to
the wind
that lasagna goddammit
[Music]
five more to beat joey
i'm going to kill chris in this hotel
100
yeah
oh no sorry joey
i'll cancel speed dial
number um 104 oh name
well the function in 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 i'm not no i actually
will throw up i think
think of the pride you'll feel
have beaten me i have no prize chris i
don't know i'll be able to do a hundred
i feel pretty [ __ ] now
i'm done after this one i'm i can't i'm
actually going to be sick away put the
lid on her she'll give you another
[Music]
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
[Music]
i've got to do 100 surely yeah
oh charlotte looks like you're right oh
yeah
what do i get what's my prize you get to
eat your meal now chris is hell do you
also just can't remember it looks
disgusting now it's been sitting here
for like an hour i'm genuinely amazed
that uh you beat me are you sean's
prediction was accurate
i 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 done oh my god i
genuinely thought i was going to do it
that was too difficult that was too what
the [ __ ] leaning tower of wankin
really fell over there
10 seconds in it felt like like you
mentioned uh matilda
yeah genuinely oh you like wankers over
do you
how about i make you eat 100
i'll tell them
[Music]
so connor got a little
thing a little bit of wood saying well
done you ate a hundred
subscribe to raw in japan it would
really be hard to convince me to do this
again i will say
i did not enjoy that i didn't enjoy it
you know it looks kind of fun on camera
it does it does it looks like you can
have a good time and you do and you're
just like i don't actually don't want to
be in pain
i actually don't want to hurt
looking like that one pile only don't
show me that 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 bowls and
stuff feels like that where you're just
like wow we're really disgusting
you think on paper that i would win
given that i'm clearly slightly larger
than connor
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 why connor was
getting on with it and i had a lasagna
for lunch see i thought the lasagna
would like make my stomach bigger and
then i could fill it with more but in
reality my stomach just got filled with
the lasagna
i don't think pro-eaters eat before they
eat i think that's calderon chewed
lesson learned for next time i'm not
doing this again i've done microsoft
like three times now with natsuki
ryotaro and connor and i'm not i'm not
doing it ever again but well done you've
suffered a great deal today the pain was
worth it you beat joey and you've got
the five-star hotel room
are you ready for tokyo you've never
been before right i i'm going to be
lying in this room you can review i'm
going to be sitting in the bed or
something
let's go let's go
also there's a tradition in uh wanker
sorbet connor that the uh the winner
pays
[ __ ]
it's tradition you're using my body for
content tradition i i buy the crisps i
buy the alcohol that's how it works
chris when it's your video you pay
this room right i've been saying it's
six thousand dollars the entire time
apparently it's twelve thousand
oh my god
this is crazy you've been making me
suffer for so long and finally i get
something worth my time
what's your doctor gonna say about your
cholesterol
i told you it needs to go down not up
why is your cholesterol
three times bigger i'm like i don't
understand why it's going up flashback
to this
