Shadowing Practice: I'm Trapped in a Buffet Until I Eat Every Item - Learn English Speaking with Video

If you were trapped in a buffet, how long would it take you to eat the entire menu?

Well, I'm about to find out.

Here are the rules.

Rule 1, I must eat one serving of each item.

And rule 2, no matter what, I can't leave.

Which means I'll be camping, sleeping, and living my daily life inside of this buffet until I'm done.

So I welcome you to my new home.

Let's grab our first plate.

I may have severely underestimated this.

This buffet is massive.

But with 147 items to eat, there was no time to waste.

I'm not gonna lie, all of the food looks incredible, but I think after I'm in here for days, it might get a little old.

But for my first plate, I decided on some pizza, onion rings, and some watermelon.

Cheers.

Huh, that's some good pizza, actually.

But the time is currently 11.30 on Friday, August 7th.

Let's see how long this takes.

But of course, my first plate of food went down pretty easy.

Now you might be wondering, why do you care so much about actually winning?

Obviously, to live in a buffet for days, weeks, or months, you gotta get permission from the owner.

And he had just one rule.

If I lose the challenge, I have to clean his bathrooms.

To be honest, I don't want to do that.

I do not want to do that.

So I don't care how long it takes.

If I'm here for days, weeks, or months, I am beating this buffet.

So for my next plate, I decided to get some of the heavy food out of the way and grab myself a burger.

And let's just say later in the challenge, I would be very grateful for this strategy.

I might be in here forever.

But then I went for some applesauce.

We're going to begin to have something maybe a little bit healthy to start.

And honestly, it hit the spot.

However, at this point, I don't realize how difficult this is actually going to be.

But my strategy to start was simple.

Get as much as I can out of the way early.

Because I knew as this challenge went on, it was only going to get more difficult.

So I grubbed up this baked potato and got down another four items.

Oh, I'm so full.

I think I'm gonna go for like one more item.

But it was at this point when this challenge really started to set in.

Because I was already getting full.

But at this point, I was committed.

And I had no choice but to keep eating.

And eating and eating.

We're making progress.

But the problem is, this right now was the only chance to have an empty stomach in this video.

But for the rest of this entire challenge, that is not going to be the case.

But for now, I decided to just take a break, let some of the food digest, and take in my new home.

And I even went for a little walk around the buffet.

But after about an hour-long break, I got right back to it.

And got something else that I wouldn't like out of the way.

I've never eaten a lima bean, but I don't really like beans.

Let's see how this goes.

And as I predicted, let's just say, these weren't my favorite items so far.

Last plate.

Okay, I'm done with that.

And for the next two hours, I decided to just go ham and get down as much food as I possibly could.

That's another plate down.

So I decided to go for a little bit of dessert.

Whoa, baby.

That's good.

And at this point, it was 4 p.m., meaning we had just five hours left for the day before they closed.

Another one down.

I think I might do one more.

Is that crazy?

Like, I'm feeling okay right now.

So I decided, why not go for a little bit of sherbet?

But as I was eating, my waitress came to visit me.

Okay, I'm leaving today.

Are you leaving?

Alrighty, I'll see you tomorrow.

Thank you.

Bro, what is going on?

But I finished up my sherbet and...

Another one bites the dust.

I think I need a break for a minute.

And I'm not gonna lie.

Now I was really not feeling good and the scent of food in this building was not helping.

Luckily, one thing I haven't shown you yet about this place...

They have an outdoor patio!

And this was gonna be a lifesaver.

I could sit out here, get some fresh air, and I'm still technically trapped inside Golden Corral.

Or actually, uh, better yet, if we need to burn some calories.

Got a little private walking pad, I could just do some laps.

But after a little bit of walking...

All right, I guess we better lock in.

Let's eat some more food.

So I just grabbed a nice plate of potatoes and all of the toppings they had for it.

You guys might not know this, but I'm actually, I'm a pretty picky eater.

This is all stuff I would avoid usually, but I have to eat it, so let's dig in.

However, this is where things quickly went from fun challenge to me realizing how truly difficult this was going to be.

I was already so full and I wasn't feeling good at all.

I just hit a complete and total wall.

I actually don't know if I can get this plate down.

Very quickly, things were going south, and I was feeling physically ill.

Dude, I can't do it.

I don't know what to do.

I can't eat this.

But after a very long hour, I was able to get it down.

100

Okay.

101

Okay, that was a big one to get through.

102

My time's currently 549.

103

I'm gonna take a break till maybe 7, and then see if we can go for some more.

104

But after repeating the cycle and doing some more laps, I've never been this full in my life.

105

When I knew if I wanted to get out of here anytime soon, I had to make use of the time they were open.

106

So I grabbed yet another plate.

107

And this time, I decided to hit the taco bar.

108

And I loaded this up with as many items as I could.

109

Okay, it is 7.02.

110

And since they close at 9 p.m., I had nothing left to do but to get back to work.

111

Let's keep going.

112

So I went in for some more desserts that I thought would be easier to get down.

113

Cheers. That is fire.

114

Apple cobbler, dude.

115

That is so good.

116

And I went to work and cleared another plate.

117

Three more down.

118

But after some chicken noodle soup and saltines, the sun was now setting.

119

And there was just under an hour before this place closed for the night.

120

And lucky for me, I got a little boost of motivation before getting back to it.

121

I found a fan of the channel.

122

What's your name?

123

My name's Blake.

124

Blake, nice to meet you.

125

I'm trying to eat every single item they have before I can leave.

126

Do you think I can do it?

127

Uh, yeah, I think you can definitely do it if you camp overnight.

128

Okay, alright, that's what I need to hear.

129

What's your favorite item that they have?

130

My favorite item, probably the fried chicken or the normal fries.

131

Normal fries, okay, I haven't had the fries yet.

132

That might be next, that might be next.

133

And that's exactly what I went for, along with some barbecue sauce.

134

Two more down.

135

And after that was done...

136

How's it going?

137

Can I share a scoop of the salmon?

138

Oh, this is gonna be tough.

139

But I knew if I could get it down now, it would be a huge help for later.

140

A YouTube video and the AirPods are coming out for this one.

141

I just gotta eat this mindlessly.

142

But as the night was coming to an end, I slammed down this fish.

143

And then it was ice cream time!

144

Oh, it's so cold.

145

I'm done for day one.

146

I'm gonna wait till this place closes and we're gonna get comfy for the night.

147

But after just relaxing in my booth for about an hour, the time is currently 10.17.

148

There is nobody in my section.

149

I think this restaurant is almost empty.

150

And just a couple minutes later, the manager let me know.

151

You're gonna go up picture 10. Am I?

152

All right.

153

So I went and grabbed my suitcase.

154

There she is.

155

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our home for the night.

156

Let's set up camp, shall we?

157

Time for me to show you what's in my little bag of tricks.

158

I've got all the camping gear I could possibly need.

159

I think you're just supposed to throw it and it opens.

160

No way!

161

I have a tent inside of a golden corral!

162

And now I just had to set up my bed.

163

Well, in a not-so-funny turn of events, this is not my sleeping mattress.

164

This was the backup tent I ordered, which means I don't have a sleeping mattress.

165

Come on, man!

166

But I set up everything else that I did remember to bring for the night, and life literally did not feel real.

167

You might basically be sleeping on the ground, but at least I've got a pillow.

168

But as I was about to go have some fun, the last of the cleaners were officially leaving for the night.

169

That is the last of the cleaners.

170

We now officially have this place all to ourselves.

171

Let the shenanigans begin.

172

It's time to go for a run.

173

Inside the buffer.

174

Let's do this.

175

So I laced up my shoes.

176

Dude, this is fake.

177

Did I dream making this video?

178

Activity started.

179

Here we go.

180

And just like that, I was off.

181

What do you mean I am running a mile in a buffet?

182

I'm not gonna lie though, although I was having a blast, it was really strange and kind of eerie having this place all to myself.

183

Oh, I'm already cramping.

184

And low-key this run was killing me.

185

But I knew this would immensely help me for tomorrow.

186

Done.

187

One mile.

188

Bet you haven't run a mile in a golden corral before.

189

Original human experience.

190

And I finished up my workout with some push-ups and some good old golden corral chair curls.

191

But then it was time to get ready for bed.

192

And I did the best I could to shower, but that was easier said than done.

193

Yeah, that's nice.

194

Haha, you like my PJs?

195

But with the time being after midnight, I had to sneak a little bit of soda and have myself a little midnight snack.

196

But after enjoying my midnight snack, I brushed my teeth and actually got ready for bed.

197

Well, it's going to be an interesting night of sleep.

198

I'm not going to lie.

199

As much fun as this is, I already cannot wait to go home.

200

And I want to do it as soon as possible.

201

However, there's one thing that I haven't told you about this challenge.

202

But I'll show you that in the morning.

203

Good night, guys.

204

Good morning.

205

What do you mean?

206

I'm still in a golden corral.

207

I don't know if I would recommend sleeping in a golden corral.

208

The ice machine kept giving me panic attacks, thinking someone was Frankie in, but that's fine.

209

Hey, morning.

210

Hang it in there.

211

That was a lie.

212

Sleeping on the cement was horrible.

213

I was on three hours of sleep, but I got changed and ready for the day.

214

Night wasn't complete.

215

If you don't mind me, I need some coffee.

216

Nothing like waking up in a Golden Corral, having a nice little cup of coffee.

217

Now it's time for me to let you in on a little secret.

218

This place is about to open because, ladies and gentlemen, that counter right there about how many items we have remaining is a lie.

219

Because, ladies and gentlemen, on the weekends here at Golden Corral, they serve breakfast.

220

But after counting all of the items, the breakfast menu has just added 29 more items.

221

Let's eat some breakfast.

222

I don't, I'm still not even hungry.

223

But it was time for the first plate of the day.

224

And I was jumping straight into things.

225

Can I just do peppers, some mushrooms, and then olives and tomatoes?

226

To start off day two, I decided to get an omelette with all of the vegetables I hate the most.

227

Because why not just get them out of the way?

228

Right?

229

Oh, and this is a lot.

230

This is a lot of food.

231

But I had no choice but to dig in.

232

Yeah.

233

All right.

234

So I absolutely slammed the rest of this plate down.

235

First plate demolished.

236

Then I took a quick break. And then...

237

It is 9 a.m now.

238

I think it's time we get another plate.

239

We're gonna try and hammer some more of this before 11 a.m.

240

So I grabbed some more of the breakfast menu.

241

But if I'm being honest, after all of the food that I ate yesterday,

242

I was still so full and my stomach was feeling horrible,

243

which was not good considering we hardly even started for the day.

244

But I was eventually able to lock in and get this plate down.

245

It appears I miscounted the first time around.

246

We do not have 18 breakfast items left.

247

We only have 14 because waffles and all that other stuff is on the normal menu.

248

So just before breakfast was gone until tomorrow, I decided to fill one more plate to try and get down.

249

And after a quick generational lock-in, I finished my food.

250

Well, except for the cereal.

251

This is my friends.

252

It's gonna be our little midnight snack for tonight.

253

I'm gonna go on the patio.

254

I'm gonna get some fresh air.

255

Oh, this is the closest thing I get to vitamin D nowadays.

256

I just want to go home, see my friends and family, sleep in my bed.

257

I don't want to be here anymore.

258

But after sitting for a while, the menu changed and it was time to lock back in.

259

But for today, I had a strategy.

260

I think if I can narrow down all of the proteins today, tomorrow is going to be a lot better.

261

We'll probably fill in the gaps with some random stuff, but I'm going for as many proteins as I can get.

262

And so the cycle began.

263

I hammered plate after plate after plate of just pure meats.

264

But after a couple hours...

265

I just want to go home.

266

I need to leave as soon as I can.

267

And the worst part was knowing that I at least had one more night left to stay here.

268

But after a quick break and door dashing myself a sleeping pad

269

so I didn't have to sleep on this cement again tonight.

270

A sleeping pad.

271

That's going to be life changing tonight.

272

I spent the next few hours eating anything I could possibly fit into my stomach.

273

And at this point, my jaw was in actual pain and my body just couldn't take anymore.

274

I'm done.

275

So I grabbed the only thing, honestly, that I thought I could still fit in my stomach, some ice cream.

276

And while I ate it, I watched the sunset go down, knowing that I would be spending yet another night inside this buffet.

277

But after a short break, I decided to eat a couple A couple plates of random toppings to get some easier items off the list.

278

And I also had beets that didn't go so well.

279

That is the worst food I've eaten with me ever.

280

I'm done.

281

Get that out of my way.

282

But to end off the night on a high note, I decided to try and take down a loaded hot dog.

283

Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for another generational lock-in.

284

I genuinely can't explain to you what it feels like to be this full.

285

My stomach was in actual pain, and I've never been so uncomfortable eating a hot dog.

286

Look at me right now.

287

But I was able to channel my inner Joey Chestnut and get it down.

288

I hate to be done.

289

I really wanted to try

290

and get a couple more items down today to give us an even better chance of getting out of here tomorrow.

291

But for now, the restaurant is officially closing again.

292

I'm going to sit back in my booth and relax for a little while until we have the place to ourselves.

293

So I cleaned up, and as the place was almost closed, I decided to go for a little one-mile walk to burn some calories.

294

But sure enough, the lights were dimming, and that meant I had this place all to myself.

295

One mile.

296

I think the cleaners are gone.

297

It is now just us.

298

And I'm not going to lie, this place is a lot more sketchy than it was last night.

299

There's a car sitting in the parking lot right there.

300

There's just some other guy walking out front.

301

What is going on?

302

But I tried not to worry about it and just set up camp for the night. Are you serious?

303

This is going to take forever.

304

Oh my gosh.

305

That is literally a million times better than last night.

306

But after getting changed, we weren't adding to bed just yet.

307

Well, ladies and gentlemen, it is officially midnight and golden carral.

308

Which meant it was time for a little midnight snack.

309

Of course, we got our Applejack.

310

It's time for a good old midnight snack.

311

Oh, but what's that? Is that...

312

A Roku remote?

313

No way.

314

After scrounging through all the drawers at the front, I found the Roku remote.

315

So obviously, I have to have a little movie night in Golden Corral.

316

Say it with me.

317

Original human experience.

318

So I enjoyed my movie and also the perks of living inside of a Golden Corral.

319

Infinite soda.

320

And you know what?

321

Maybe I'm all wrong.

322

Maybe I don't need to leave.

323

Maybe I could just live in this golden corral forever.

324

Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.

325

I stayed up way too late watching that movie, but as much fun as I'm having in here, I need to get out tomorrow.

326

I do not want to spend another night in this challenge.

327

Good night, guys.

328

Good morning.

329

Welcome to Operation Escape the Corral.

330

Man, I don't think I've ever been this tired in my life.

331

But I knew what I needed to keep me going.

332

I don't think I have ever been this tired in my entire life.

333

I'm so exhausted.

334

And ladies and gentlemen, today I have one goal and one goal only.

335

Get out.

336

I need to get out of here.

337

I cannot sleep here another night.

338

Breakfast will be open in about 40 minutes.

339

And the strategy is simple.

340

I'm just gonna eat the nine breakfast items as fast as I can.

341

But for now, I enjoyed my coffee.

342

But before I knew it...

343

Oh, the lights are on.

344

Mission, escape the corral.

345

Is it go?

346

Let's knock out these nine items, shall we?

347

So I hit the ground running.

348

I loaded up this first plate with a bunch of our missing breakfast items.

349

First plate of the day.

350

We got some sort of hash browns.

351

Two servings of different grits and corned beef hash.

352

And luckily, I was off to a hot start because I was able to pound this first plate of food pretty quickly.

353

This is it.

354

When I finished this plate, we have eaten every breakfast item they have.

355

So this was it.

356

The final push to eliminate the entire breakfast menu.

357

Oh yeah, that's good right there.

358

And I was absolutely determined to push through this.

359

Oh my gosh, dude.

360

However, the egg skillet was killing me.

361

Oh my gosh.

362

Come on, you can push through it.

363

Push through it for breakfast.

364

Push through it.

365

But after locking in and just taking everything one bite at a time, eventually, last bite of the breakfast menu.

366

It's gone.

367

Ladies and gentlemen, we just completed the breakfast menu.

368

The best part is it's only 9.06 and that means we get two hours for a break.

369

So of course, I went to my favorite spot.

370

But after doing some laps back and forth around the patio, also now's probably a good time.

371

Guys, I do all of this for your entertainment.

372

And the only thing I ask in return is if you did enjoy the video, please go down, like, and subscribe.

373

That's all I ask.

374

We're trying to get to 10 mil.

375

It'd be crazy if we get there.

376

I've been dreaming of it since I was like literally eight years old.

377

And I guess I'll see them when Mission Escape the Corral begins.

378

But after just a little bit more waiting, it was time to get this started.

379

And what better way to start than with dessert?

380

This is our first plate of dinner.

381

Oh yeah.

382

And some orange cake.

383

Both fire.

384

We can get these down.

385

And I was feeling good because I demolished this plate with no problems at all.

386

Let's keep it going.

387

I wanted to get down as much as I could, as early in the day as possible.

388

Come on, final push, let's go!

389

Oh, is it barbecue sauce or ketchup?

390

I don't like either.

391

But one item at a time, I was actually knocking down our count.

392

And I don't know how I was doing it, but I was turning into an eating machine.

393

But now, the earbuds were going in, and I was locking in.

394

And I'm not going to lie, this one was taking me a while to get through.

395

But I've got some fans of the channel.

396

What are your names?

397

Luca.

398

Dante.

399

Nice.

400

Okay.

401

This is my final day of eating every item in this buffet.

402

Hopefully.

403

Do you think I can get out of here by the end of the day?

404

Yes.

405

No. I'm cooked, Chad.

406

I'm cooked.

407

Thanks, guys.

408

Appreciate it.

409

Yeah, you too.

410

But now, I was locking in for Luca and Dante.

411

And sure enough, eventually...

412

Big moment.

413

This is the last bite of meat on the menu.

414

That's one step closer.

415

But this next plate was going to be bad.

416

I was going for some of my least favorite foods remaining.

417

This is a plate I have not been looking forward to.

418

Black-eyed peas, which I've never had, and sautéed mushrooms.

419

This is going to be a rough plate.

420

Now the really scary one for me is the mushroom.

421

Cheers.

422

Mmm, yummy!

423

Lock in.

424

Oh my gosh, I might not be able to get this down.

425

Oh my god.

426

I gotta put something else on it.

427

I can't just eat mushrooms straight.

428

I just brought it over to the cheese sauce and just smothered it in it.

429

I figured it had to help, right?

430

Okay, that actually helped a lot.

431

This may have been the worst 10 minutes of eating in my life.

432

Who's eating this for fun, bro?

433

Last one.

434

I don't know what it is, but I just cannot do mushrooms, man.

435

Okay, I'm gonna be honest after that one.

436

I think it's ice cream time!

437

A little bit of chocolate ice cream never hurt nobody.

438

But after this point, I was head down and walked in.

439

But after a few more plates, including sweet potato, I needed a break.

440

Ugh, dude.

441

So I did a quick walk to let me make some more room.

442

It is right now, currently, just about 2 p.m.

443

Which means there are seven hours until this place closes.

444

But here's the thing.

445

I have eaten 30 items today since 8 a.m when they open.

446

Which means, by that math, we would be out at 8.30 p.m.

447

30 minutes before they close.

448

But the problem is, if I start to slow down at all, we are gonna miss the cutoff and have to stay another night.

449

I can't, I can't be doing that, dude.

450

I cannot stay here another night.

451

So after finishing my walk, I had no choice but to go back for more.

452

It's time for a strategy I have been wanting to implement since before we even arrived.

453

Mega salad.

454

It's simple.

455

I'm going to go through the entire salad bar.

456

Every topping, every dressing, and I'm going to mix them all into one and eat it.

457

Is it going to taste good?

458

Honestly, it might.

459

It might not.

460

I really have no idea.

461

But it's going to be the fastest way to get down all of these items.

462

So after loading up a plate with literally every salad topping, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the Mega Salad.

463

This salad has 17 items on it.

464

All I need to do is clear this plate.

465

I mean, it's just all salad dressing.

466

How bad can it be?

467

Cheers.

468

Yo.

469

It's not great.

470

That blue cheese is tough, but it's not as bad as it could have been.

471

So I was digging in and I knew that if I could finish this, we'd be almost there.

472

It like hurts my jaw to open it all the way.

473

But one bite at a time, I was knocking it down.

474

I'm like crying.

475

It's so like strong because of the vinegar and all the dressings.

476

And I was able to choke it down and lock in until...

477

Cheers.

478

Oh my gosh, yes!

479

And that means we have just 15 items left.

480

Welcome to the final push.

481

In front of me is the final remaining 15 items that we have to eat before we have successfully completed the mission.

482

And ladies and gentlemen, the minute that we finish these 15 items,

483

we have successfully eaten every single item at this buffet.

484

Oh my gosh, I can leave when this is over!

485

Here we go.

486

Starting with the cottage cheese before it gets warm from sitting in front of me.

487

That's rough.

488

Yep, that's rough.

489

Yeah, so, uh, just straight cottage cheese, maybe?

490

Isn't my favorite thing?

491

Done.

492

Hammered.

493

One out of 15 down.

494

And next I hit the broccoli and cheddar soup.

495

However, it was the chicken salad where I started to struggle.

496

My body is just going through complete food aversions now.

497

Like, it's just food that I would normally like.

498

It's just disgusting to me right now.

499

Any other normal day, I would like this, but no. I can't even fathom that right now.

500

But I finished it up and got it down.

501

And although I was battling extreme food aversions at this point, My body just wants nothing to do with food right now.

502

I was able to fight through it and slowly get this plate down.

503

We are now in the single digits of items.

504

We have nine to go.

505

And I was just going straight for it.

506

I just wanted to beat this challenge.

507

Freedom is so close.

508

I can taste it.

509

Blueberry pie.

510

Oh my gosh.

511

But one at a time, I was knocking them down.

512

Until I was down to just one plate left.

513

This is it, our final plate of food.

514

And then I'm free.

515

Oh, I just need to eat this one more waffle.

516

Generational.

517

Lock in.

518

So it began.

519

But I was still more full than ever.

520

Oh, this is gonna be hard to get down, though.

521

And although I was trying to attack it.

522

Oh my gosh, that's so big.

523

Why is it so big?

524

But just one bite at a time, I was getting closer and closer.

525

This one dang waffle is the only reason I still am here.

526

I felt so defeated.

527

I was so close, but still so far away.

528

The sun's starting to set.

529

We gotta lock in.

530

I cannot get stuck here another night.

531

So I just went for it.

532

I knew I had to push.

533

Half waffle left.

534

I might cry when this is over.

535

And I was literally just eating as fast as I could before I could feel it hit me.

536

Quarter of a waffle.

537

That's all that's left.

538

And one bite at a time.

539

I was getting closer and closer and closer until finally...

540

This is it.

541

The last bite!

542

Yes.

543

Yes!

544

Yes!

545

Yes!

546

Yes!

547

Oh my gosh!

548

This is my first step outside in three days!

549

Escape the Corral is complete.

550

I'm free.

551

Also, guys, how could I forget?

552

Huge shout out and thank you to Ben Salem, Pennsylvania's Golden Corral.

553

Please come check them out and thank you to them for letting me stay and film in here for three days straight.

554

And shout out to John the owner for putting up with my antics.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
