- I feel like Man Versus Food right now,
this is the point where like, it hits you.
And you feel like you're gonna die.
- Eat, eat, eat!
(laughing)

- I have never been in a food competition before.
- I have never participated in any food eating
competition before.
- In fifth grade I was third in a Twinkie eating
contest at my elementary school.
I've done the Buffalo Wild Wings hot wing challenge,
I've eaten the monster burrito at Freebird's.
That's technically a competition.
Y'all are gonna see me throw up or pass out.
Either way, it's not gonna end well for me.
- There are three of us.
- Three versus one, like there has to be some sort
of odds in our favor.
- Hi, I'm Yasir Salem.
I'm a competitive eater, a marathon eater,
and a triathelete.
I took the world record in corn on the cob in 2016
with 47 corn on the cob in 12 minutes.
I've also set the record for cannoli,
I believe it was 30 somewhat in six minutes.
And I also hold multiple records in the Tour du Donut
bicycle races, and my record there is 61 donuts
over a 29 mile race.
The challenge here for the other team is,
they're gonna have to move pretty quickly through
the food.
It might not be a ton of food for each person,
but I can take down that amount of food much quicker
than they can.
(driving rock music)
- Yes! - Yeah!
- This is so much food!
(cheering)
- [Referee] Three, two, one, thanksgiving!
(silly music)
- Can't breathe!
- [Kayla] Need bigger bites!
- This is good!
- Oh my god, you guys.
This is so hard!
- This is gonna ruin Thanksgiving for me.
- Everytime I swallow I think I'm gonna die.
(groaning)
- [Kayla] He finished that whole things.
(mumbling)
(belching)
(crowd groaning)
- He's pushing into a ball!
- My jaw!
How is he doing this?
- Yo, we can beat him!
We can actually beat him!
Come on!
- I like already feel nauseous.
(mumbling)
Eric, flash him!
- Look at my boobs!
- Focus, dammit!
- Why is there more food, it feels like it keeps
appearing!
- I could possibly throw up.
I'm not going to, but in the future may throw up.
(triumphant music)
- He's laughing, he's making him laugh!
- I guess I'll wash it down with gravy.
(groaning)
Whoa, we're almost done!
Medically I feel like I should not eat anymore food.
I don't need to.
I've eaten turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes,
corn, stuffing, pie, in like three minutes.
I don't wanna!
- You can do it!
- I know!
- Are you tapping out?
- We're not tapping out.
- Okay.
- We're discussing, but we haven't tapped out yet.
There's not much more room here.
The medical professional, should I stop?
- Feel like passing out?
- I feel like I'm either gonna shit my pants
or I'm gonna throw up.
I've proven enough to myself.
I'm tapping out.
- Good job, team!
- I don't know what we proved or what we did,
but we got (mumbling)!
To do things, with our mouths.
(laughing)
Y'all are gonna see me throw up or pass out,
either way it's not gonna end well for me.
(gagging)
(chiming)
- The other team did a lot better than I thought,
but they tapped out and I encourage them next time,
let's do this again.
- I honestly wasn't very confident going in,
and as soon as I put that turkey in my mouth,
that first bite, I knew was not gonna go well.
- Food for five people, three people, it's like,
surely we can do that.
And then I saw the food, and I was like, nope.
- All things aside, it's always cool to see how
far the human body can go.
I feel like we tested our limits today.
- Yeah.
- We didn't hold back.
We bonded.
- Good team bonding.
- Now it'll just make me appreciate Thanksgiving
that much more knowing I don't have to eat it
in three minutes with three pounds of food and gravy.
