Why I'm NEVER Eating Noodles with CDawgVA Again 🍜 PATREON Exclusive Video


What an utterly humiliating start to 2022.

Three times I've attempted to beat my rivals at the Wankosoba noodle challenge.
Three times I've inflicted misery upon myself.


Welcome to 2022 everyone, I hope your year has gotten off to a great start so far!
And we kick off what promises to be another fantastic year, with a two-part Wacky Weekend Special with Connor.

In today's episode, we go head to head to see if Connor can eat 100 bowls of soba noodles (without being physically sick) and in the second part - out this weekend - we head to Tokyo to stay in a truly ridiculous hotel room.

Honestly, some of the best Patreon behind the scenes videos are from the Wacky Weekend series, and in case you've missed those previous episode, you can check out the outtakes, bloopers and commentary from those episodes below!

We've got plenty of awesome ideas for Wacky Weekend in 2022, hopefully including something potentially outside of Japan later in the year, so plenty to look forward to with the series!

COMPLETELY UNRELATED but many of you guys have been asking what's going on with the Ken Watanabe documentary - and rightly so! It's been a while.

I'm currently immersed in editing the video and it's taking a while as much of Ken's dialogue is in Japanese which means lots of listening on my part and plenty of subtitling.

And of course, it's not something I'm keen to rush - quality control is everything on this one. But I'm hoping it'll be out after the next Wacky Weekend episode in the next few weeks.

For now, enjoy today's video and watching Connor and I almost die at the hands of soba noodles, and I'll be back for a chat about what's coming up on Abroad in Japan in 2022 in the next few days!

Would love to try this next time I am in Japan

Anne

You should make this a yearly thing

Johannes

I think you need to find a different challenge. One you can actually win. Thanks for the chuckles.

Susan Ray

Any upcoming plans for a live feed?

I enjoyed Sharla just watching the carnage unfold. She knows better than to try that again. Looking forward to the rediculous 5 star hotel room.

Chris Lyso

Thanks for the update on the Ken Watanabe Vid, was wondering what was up with that, good luck with the editing. I'll certainly try to do this challenge when I am in Japan next. I'll guarantee 120 bowls.

Good god Chris how many times are you gonna do this bloody challenge? At this point you've consumed enough soba to last a lifetime! Highly looking forward to the Ken Watanabe video, but really take all the time you need. Never a good thing to rush something out, we could gladly wait a few months if it means you can put in all the effort you need. I'm sure it'll be fantastic!

Bulldozer

Happy New year Chris! Take your time with the editing. I love how much you are hanging out with the Trash Taste boys and Sharla. It's nice to see a group of friends having a good time and also doing what they love (obviously omitting the disappointing hotels)

Lourdes SiquiSal

Oh come on Chris! You let Connor beat you on this? Ah wel next time better, I'm sure you are able to win from Garnt.

Take your time with the Ken Watanabe Video! Looking forward to it, but you don't need to rush anything. In Germany we have the saying 'Gut Ding will Weile haben.' which means that something good needs to take it's time. So are you and that's totally fine (: Love to see more Wacky Weekend this year :D

Luna

Sounds like fun! I can't wait to watch it all later.~ But yeah, please take as much time as you need with the Watanabe video. I know it'll be amazing when you're done! The only video I'm "impatient" about is the one where you said you were going to be opening Christmas presents. 😂

Great video! I did the wanko soba challenge 2 times! Once in 2018 (188 bowls) and the second time in 2019 (200 bowls). The second time I got the wood plaque AND signed a winner guet book! Good days!

António Dias

Was the "Abroad and Bankrupt" part a reference to Bald and Bankrupt? That would've been an amazing crossover if you two ever met/did a video together! ^_^

Rustem Khafizov

YES! LOVE Wacky Weekend!

That's a Day in the Life video waiting to happen

Abroad in Japan

Haha, I MEAN IT this time

Abroad in Japan

You just take your time with the Ken video, i'm sure it will turn out amazing, gonna watch the wacky weekend video now, have a good day Chris

Welcome back Chris, have missed you :)

Caz T

Would love to give this a go one day. Great video Chris.

Wayne Grover

It's fun to watch, but I never ever want to try this challenge! Looking forward to the luxury hotel room and Ken Watanabe though. Good luck with the editing!

Nynke de Haas

Im very disappointed in you, Big Mouth. Dishonor on your ramen shop! ;)

“The last time I do this”……until the next time 🤣

Great work Chris 😁

Andrew Roque

You both look traumatised! Is noodle based PTSD a thing? Also, I think it's about time we met the poor washer-up at that place...

The Vernes

Amazing, it's like a magic. Better luck will come next time.

What a great way to kick off my weekend. Can’t wait to watch ✨
