Short filmTranscript
00:30I'm sorry my little hungries. Now as some of you know I have been training for
00:38quite some time. In my training I've hit a few plateaus and I feel like my
00:43appetite only has room to grow. Nonetheless I do feel confident enough
00:48to be competitively eating that I've decided to join the Mukbang Across the
00:53World Challenge and this year's course is going to be hosted by Request Music
00:59in Wailuku. I haven't had time to make copies to circulate but if you've been
01:07following my private chat server you know that this has been brewing for
01:10quite some time. This year's challenge consists of one pound of noodles in one
01:14gallon of broth and two pounds of added ingredients with an ice cream bucket
01:19chaser. Now as competitor I'm expected to supply my noodles, my soup ingredients
01:25and my stockpot. The host is going to supply the soup bowls and the ice cream
01:30for those of us that make it to dessert. Now I think I've cracked the code on my
01:34shopping list. One, we're going with a smaller noodle. It may seem like it's
01:39gonna be more but it means less chew time. That's a good thing. Two, fish cake.
01:44If I can get the Hanzawa's first thing I'm going with a pound of fish cake for
01:47the first half of my ingredients. Now I know what you're thinking.
01:50Pili that's a lot of fish cake. Aren't you gonna get tired of fish cake? Isn't that
01:53gonna make your fart stink? I'm not worried about that. It's all about the
01:57chew time. See rule number one. Three, dumplings. Ikaika sells choked dumplings
02:02at the back of his truck every third Thursday of the month and since this
02:06high food holy holiday lands with such festivities I'm going second pound. All
02:13dumplings no question. Now I put in a request for Neapolitan ice cream and I'm
02:20also going to ask if they can leave it out early so it starts to soften up so I
02:25can drink the second half like a milkshake. I know I'm gonna make it to
02:31this challenge and I know I'm gonna win because I'll have my friends by me every
02:35step of the way. So Kimo told me, hey bro you need someone with dibs. I'll be there to make
02:41sure you don't get messy. And Leilani told me, yeah Pili you can sleep at the back of
02:45my truck. Just make sure you're out by morning because I gotta go to work okay.
02:50I'll see you at the back of my truck.
02:57Well look who decided to join the party. It's the musu menace.
03:08They're my troll.
03:12Psst. You're gonna have to try harder to burn me. I'm already wearing SPF 50.
03:21That got dark real quick. You should see a mental health professional.
03:28What?
03:33Wait. You mean it?
03:38You guys. This is monumentous. If what we've heard today is true then the musu menace is going to
03:46reveal themselves tomorrow. This is a long time coming. I've asked for a face
03:52to face challenge many times and been denied so many times I no longer felt it
03:56worthwhile to ask. I've often wondered who they are or what they look like yeah.
04:03Composing a compendium of images of my friends, my neighbors, strangers. But if what
04:11they said today is true this, then today will be a day to mark in the history books
04:17as I go head to head in culinary combat with my oldest nemesis.
04:33You guys. This is Meija. I'm gonna have to change my entire plan of attack.
04:39I'll have to call Kimo. He'll know what to do. But I have to go for tonight.
04:46Good night everyone.
05:09I'm gonna have to call Kimo. He'll know what to do. But I have to go for tonight.
05:39Pick this up. Pick this up.
06:09Pick this up.
06:39Freeze! Let's get out of here!
07:40Gotcha bro.
07:48Jake!
07:51Follow me.
08:06Get him!
08:10Go!
08:19Good morning my little hungries. So, as many of you know, I've got a challenger this year.
08:26The Musumenis has decided to step out of the shadows. I tried to talk to Kimo about it,
08:31but I'm pretty sure he already fell asleep. And Lei doesn't get reception at her house.
08:35So I'm hoping that we have time to talk about it later today before the challenge.
08:39I gotta make sure I have everything together. As my favorite auntie once said,
08:43travel with your habits honey. Make sure you got everything with you.
08:47See you outside my peeps.
09:06Coming.
09:08Okay.
09:11So loud.
09:12Morning sunshine. You sleep through your alarm?
09:15I think my phone's on silent. Sorry.
09:17What'd you have for dinner last night?
09:19Mami lasagna. Why?
09:21Because I haven't had breakfast and you need to get ready.
09:24We got Pee Wee's thing today. Remember?
09:26Oh right. Shoot. Okay, I'm on it.
09:29Save me some.
09:31No.
09:32Hey everyone. Been waiting here for what feels like forever.
09:35It's not like Lei to take this long.
09:37Think I'm gonna give him a call and I'll be right back. Bye.
09:45You tried calling it?
09:48Yeah. But you hear anything?
09:52No. That's why I asked you if you tried calling it.
09:55Well maybe it's on vibrate or do not disturb.
09:58I want to be disturbed.
10:00Don't worry. You are.
10:03I'm gonna check the house.
10:05Hurry up.
10:06Don't tell her to hurry up.
10:09I have soldiered on. I haven't heard from Kimo yet. I am a little worried.
10:14And I left a text for Leilani but I'm pretty sure she's probably driving.
10:18It's cool. I'm sure they'll catch up while I search for the basics.
10:22For the basics. For the basics.
10:26Let's go inside and see if we can find some deals.
10:30You still calling it?
10:31Yes. You sure you charged it?
10:33It gotta be charged. Just keep calling it.
10:36I am.
10:39I don't hear it.
10:40We'll try shutting off the...
10:42Just keep calling it.
10:47Lei. You still there?
10:49Lei.
10:52Lei.
10:54We're on a mission. Hopefully we can find the things we need.
10:57Remember, noodles and fish cake.
11:01Target sighted.
11:08Target acquired.
11:14Found it!
11:19Not bad. It's old.
11:20Wait.
11:22I forgot my jacket.
11:27No.
11:30What? They no more fish cake?
11:33Hey.
11:35You guys get any more fish cake?
11:37What? No more over there?
11:39No.
11:40One more in the back. We stay out till next week.
11:43Shoot.
11:45You get anything else?
11:47Like what?
11:48Like fish cake?
11:50What else is like fish cake?
11:52I don't know. That's why I'm asking you.
11:55You're the professional.
11:56Look, brah. I just work here.
12:02Okay.
12:06Try call Pili. He's waiting for us.
12:08What do I say?
12:09That my truck broke down?
12:12He's gonna be so bummed.
12:15That makes two of us.
12:17My phone's dead. I gotta use yours.
12:26No more service. Look.
12:28What? Like I control it?
12:30Okay. That should be just about everything I need.
12:33Just gotta find something to replace my fish cake.
12:36Okay. One more question.
12:39If you had to eat a pound of Simon Poppings, what would it be?
12:42And it can't be fish cake.
12:43What would it be? And it can't be fish cake.
12:45If I had to eat a pound?
12:47Yes. Of Simon Poppings.
12:49Do I have to?
12:50No, you don't have to. It's hypothetical.
12:54Now, hypothetically, if you had to eat a pound of Simon Poppings, what would it be?
12:59You like furikake?
13:00You sell that by the pound?
13:03I don't know. But still, what else?
13:10He started without us.
13:11Already at Hanzawa's by now. We need to catch up.
13:13What should I call him now?
13:15Hold on. Wait.
13:19Hey. How many ounces are in a pound?
13:21Sixteen.
13:22Whoa. You are fast.
13:24I knew you were professional.
13:26Hey, you only get eight up here. You get any more in the back?
13:29Not till next week!
13:30Okay.
13:32So if you had to have a half pound of Simon Poppings, what would it be?
13:37Oh! I'm getting a call from Lei.
13:39BRB.
13:41What do you say?
13:43Huh?
13:44What?
13:46I can't hear you.
13:47Tell him I said hi.
13:49My truck broke down.
13:50We're coming to you.
13:52What's up, Billy?
13:54So, I got a call from Lei.
13:56I couldn't make it out, but I'm sure they're on their way.
13:58I should keep moving though.
14:00Luckily, Ikaika's real close by.
14:02And I'm going to head to him while we wait for Kimo and Lei.
14:05Come on. Let's go.
14:09I think I see the store up ahead.
14:10Are we there yet?
14:11I just said, I think I see the store up ahead.
14:15I didn't hear what you said.
14:16Well, listen next time.
14:19Here it is.
14:20The Third Thursday in Span show.
14:23The best place to get dumplings up country.
14:25If you can get to him in time.
14:27How's it, bro?
14:29You get those sweet dumplings.
14:31Shoot. You're lucky, bro.
14:32Just got half my stock wiped out.
14:34Big day for dumplings.
14:36Shoot.
14:37Well, you still get one pound left.
14:39You're just that.
14:40You're a lucky bugger.
14:42Any later, you'd be out of luck.
14:44I take them.
14:45Load me up.
14:47What are you doing with all this food?
14:49Eating competition.
14:51You're going to eat all that?
14:53And a bucket of ice cream.
14:56Okay.
14:57I'm running late.
14:58Appreciate it, bro. Thank you so much.
15:01Alright.
15:02Mission accomplished on the dumplings.
15:03All of them made on the fish cake.
15:05Now, I just got to make it to town.
15:09The next day.
15:21I hate to do this.
15:22But I'm going to have to go into the city.
15:24With or without them.
15:26I know they'll understand.
15:27And hopefully, I'll see them at the store.
15:31If I take the bus, it's going to take too long.
15:33So, I'm going to have to activate my number one
15:35Maui travel hack.
15:36Now.
15:38I found that if I sit down and have a thinking,
15:41the solution normally presents itself.
15:44Now, if I lay down, it should present even faster.
15:50Now, we wait.
15:55Hey, bro.
15:56You okay?
15:57I am now.
16:00Can I get a ride into town?
16:01Yeah, bro.
16:02Hop on in.
16:04Oh, oh, oh.
16:05Hey.
16:06Can you hold my phone while I grab my stuff?
16:08Here.
16:09Oh.
16:10Sure.
16:11Oh.
16:22See?
16:23What did I tell you?
16:24Number one hack.
16:25Tell them, new friend.
16:27Yeah, number one hack.
16:34Hey.
16:48What happened to you guys?
16:50Walked all the way here.
16:52Trying to catch a tepele.
16:54Just missed him.
16:55Bought a pound of dumplings and hitched a ride.
16:58Said he was going to some eating competition.
17:00He is.
17:01We were supposed to be giving him a ride.
17:04But this truck broke down.
17:10You want a ride?
17:11Can.
17:12Can?
17:21Oh, God.
17:23I'm done selling for the day anyway, so.
17:26And plus, I kind of got to see if he actually can eat all that food.
17:30Hop in.
17:38Hey, we should have service by now, right?
17:40Maybe we can catch Petey's stream.
17:41See where he's at.
17:43Here.
17:44Pull it up.
17:45I still have some battery left on my phone.
17:46Maybe we can get a message to him.
17:48Well, I ain't got it to him.
17:50What is that?
17:59I got him.
18:00I got him.
18:01He's live.
18:02He's live.
18:03Peely.
18:04Peely.
18:06Peely.
18:07You do know he can't hear you, right?
18:09I don't know.
18:11Try to chat.
18:16We're here.
18:17Mahalo's for the ride.
18:18Don't forget to like and subscribe.
18:20Hold this.
18:25Mahalo.
18:27Okay.
18:31So, these next few bits, I'm going to keep short and sweet because I'm running low on juice.
18:37OMG.
18:38Lei, you're here.
18:40I've been trying to reach you guys all morning.
18:42I don't have time to talk right now because I got to pick up three more things.
18:45Plus one small kind.
18:46Side salad.
18:47Bonus mission.
18:48I'll see you guys later.
18:49Okay.
18:52He saw we were watching, but he locked off before I could say anything.
18:57He's going to jump back on, but we've got two problems.
19:01What?
19:02Well, his phone is dying.
19:05And?
19:07And your phone is dead.
19:09What? Any chance I can use your phone?
19:11Watch Peely.
19:13Not a chance, bro.
19:14I don't give my phone over to anybody.
19:20Then why did you give it to her?
19:22She's not anybody.
19:23And plus, she had to get my password.
19:26Oh, wow. What's your password?
19:27One, two, three, four.
19:28Hey, knock it off, both of you.
19:31Look, Peely's back.
19:33Bonus mission completed.
19:34Definitely going to enhance my game today.
19:39Just one more stop.
19:41Got to see Brada at the food truck.
19:44OMG, look at that menu.
19:47I don't have time.
19:48How's it, Peely?
19:50Hey, Devin. How are you?
19:52Mahalo again for the help.
19:53You know what, Brada?
19:54Always down for help on one of my favorite customers.
19:57You need anything else?
19:59Hi, Cherry.
20:01This is the last piece of the puzzle.
20:03Shoots, right on.
20:04Best of luck, Peely.
20:05We'll be cheering you on from this side.
20:07Shoots.
20:14Oh, wow.
20:22Oh, that's pretty.
20:36That's not good.
20:37He's got to be around here.
20:39Look, there's that sketchy fat from his stream.
20:42You want to check it out?
20:44Sure.
20:57Sorry.
20:58I thought you might laugh.
20:59I always miss you.
21:02Shoots.
21:03Okay, what you got I need.
21:04I got what you want.
21:06Lay down some cash, pick the stash.
21:07All this could be yours for a nominal fee.
21:10Talk stories.
21:11Spend time.
21:12Save a dime.
21:13Come on, my Brada.
21:16Huh?
21:17Sorry.
21:18What can I do for you?
21:20What can I do for you?
21:22Bruh, we have a friend.
21:23And you need me to raise proof again?
21:28No, we have a friend.
21:30Wow.
21:31I'm right over here next to you.
21:32No, stop cutting me off, bruh.
21:34Look, our friend may have been here a little bit ago.
21:36Big guy, fluffy beard, pleasant smile.
21:39Cherry, tofu.
21:40Oh, yes.
21:41He came, he saw.
21:42He's about to come.
21:43Master, I'm sure you chip that.
21:45Mata is about to race.
21:46He's Mata down the street.
21:48But.
21:50But.
21:51A challenger awaits.
21:52Someone with enough muju to throw up.
21:56Throw, bro.
22:01You must go and be there for him.
22:06Three, four.
22:07Saikei.
22:08Saikei?
22:10Hey, hey, hey.
22:11Your journey is true.
22:13I'm just trying to help.
22:15The fourth walls have nearly all been broken.
22:18And the challenge is nigh.
22:21For his spectacle to become successful.
22:26You must fulfill the tournament.
22:27But.
22:28You lack even fighting.
22:29What?
22:30Saikei, come here.
22:36You need this.
22:39Hey.
22:44Shooting things.
22:54This stuff I left at home.
22:55I don't bring it.
22:57How did you know?
22:58How did you have this?
23:00Hey.
23:01No words.
23:02Just emotions.
23:03And.
23:04Patabeso.
23:05Sentimental.
23:07Let's go.
23:10You know what?
23:11You know.
23:13Oh, you know what?
23:14What the hell are you looking at?
23:17What?
23:18What's this plot?
23:19Just know.
23:20I know what the time is like.
23:23Right away.
23:25Your friend.
23:26Is down there.
23:27Waiting for you.
23:29That way?
23:30Yeah.
23:39Hey.
23:44Hello.
23:48Wait.
23:50What's that parking lot?
23:51Why were you even listening to that donkey?
23:55Hold on.
23:56Where's the van?
24:00Food trucks are this way.
24:01Come on.
24:03Wait.
24:04Where's the van?
24:09Wait.
24:25It was a long journey.
24:26But I finally made it here.
24:28Now it's your turn.
24:29Where you stay?
24:30Get here or be square?
24:37What's up, Tevin?
24:38I just seen him.
24:39He came, borrowed a stock plot.
24:41And then he headed up the street.
24:43Not everything, though.
24:44Seems like our job's over before it even started.
24:46Hey.
24:47It's not over.
24:49Let's yell it.
24:57Keely.
24:58Keely, we made it.
24:59Keely.
25:01We made it, we made it, guys.
25:02We're here.
25:03We're here.
25:04Excuse me.
25:05Excuse me.
25:06Excuse me.
25:07Excuse me.
25:08Stop talking.
25:09Excuse me.
25:10We're here, bro.
25:11Guys.
25:12I knew you'd make it.
25:13I didn't doubt you for a second.
25:15Oh, and you brought a friend.
25:16Hey, I know you can pound those dumplings.
25:18But I gotta see how the ice cream is pounded.
25:24Brothers and sisters.
25:25Kaputa of all ages.
25:27I'm so excited to commence the competition.
25:30Are you ready?
25:31Yay!
25:33Alright, bring it to the stage, our competitors.
25:36Our first contender.
25:38A heavyweight of heavyweights.
25:40A brother unlike any other.
25:43The one who rips parts and steals our hearts.
25:47It's Peely!
25:50Woo!
25:51Yeah, Peely!
25:53Big boy.
25:54What's up, big boy?
25:55And in this corner, hailing from the shadows, but hiding in plain sight.
26:02A featherweight you do not want to underestimate.
26:06It's the Moosu Menace!
26:14The one that's been trolling Peely.
26:21Don't let her size fool you.
26:22I hear the Moosu Menace is a serious contender.
26:26No, it's not that.
26:27She's my...
26:29How could you?
26:30You were my best bud.
26:31My favorite cousin.
26:33Everything was good at tutus, but now it's...
26:39Ooh, we got a little family rivalry here.
26:43Patricia, why?
26:45We were always together.
26:47You even taught me how to inhale jello like it was air.
26:51But ever since I moved out of tutus and in with my mom,
26:55you didn't have time for me anymore.
26:57I'm always hanging out with them.
27:00So you started trolling me?
27:03I just needed to vent, and you always responded.
27:07Okay, okay, okay.
27:08Enough of this after-school special.
27:10Right now, we want to see you eat.
27:11Am I right?
27:17All right, you two!
27:19I don't want any funny business.
27:21I want a clean fight.
27:22When you hear the bell ring, you start eating.
27:25And give it all you got.
27:28I don't like what you did.
27:30But I get it.
27:32Ow.
27:35Let's get ready to go-go!
28:01Eat your meal, eat your meal, eat your meal.
