- Guys we’re having serious problems here. – Josh, Josh, – The cone at the bottom there. – Josh, Josh! – Oh, oh! – Josh. – You got it, keep it in your hand, Josh! – Shut up, shut up, everyone stop speaking. (dramatic music) There’re a lot of obscure world records involving food out there, and I’m gonna seek out the weirdest, the dumbest, the most insane and I am gonna try and beat them. I’m going for the world record for most ice-cream scoops on a single cone. It’s 125, held by Dimitri Panciera out of Italy, this is for USA, that belt’s coming back home, baby. So you see him, he’s outside, which is already to me a weird choice, ’cause like, you’re in the elements, there’s sun beating down on you, that’s not good. We can do it in a controlled environment. Advantage USA. God, he’s quick though, I am already impressed. I get the sense that this guy’s been doing this for years, so advantage Italy on that one. I’ve scooped a lot of ice-cream for personal use, but never done it on this scale. So it looks like you have to build a large base from the inside out of the waffle cone. I’m wondering how his forearm doesn’t get tired. That’s like that old man strength, though, you know? Like you play an old guy at basketball in the gym and he doesn’t look that big and strong, but he’s just backing me down to the post, he’s got those iron forearms. He has an assistant who doesn’t seem to be doing a lot of work, but if you focus on him, you see he’s constantly changing out scoopers. So we’re gonna need someone to change out scoopers for me. I’d seriously think, Dimitri, he’s a professional ice-cream scooper, right? But that said, it’s not all technique-based. Like this is a physical event. I come from a long line of German hay-baling sheep farmers, I just got this barrel chest that I think really causes a lot of cardiac related diseases later in life, but for now, it’s fantastic for scooping ice-cream. I think I can use that to my advantage to take this guy out, or at least give him a run for his money. So I’m coming, I’m coming, Dimitri. Hey man. – Hey Josh. – I need some advice. – Okay. – So we’re trying to break the world record for most ice-cream scoops in a single cone. – Seems normal. – Yeah, thank you. There’s no rules on the scoop or the scooper size. – Okay, as far as the scooper, there’s different ones with the release on them, there’s the ones that heat in the palm of your hand, and that’s what gets the ice-cream out of the scooper, but the release ones would probably be best. – We’re not gonna cheapen this thing. – [Lucas] Okay. – If we’re beating this, we’re doing it legit. – We should. – You know. – We’re gonna use small, spring-loaded scoopers. – Smallest being five? – He used two ounce. – Okay. – Let’s do this. (clapping) Let’s do this, quack, quack, quack, quack! – Mighty Ducks! – Quack. In Mighty Ducks 3, he references, Joshua Jackson references Pantera, and that’s how I started listening to Pantera. – Wow. – [Josh] Yeah. – You know in Mighty Ducks 1, the sport of hockey is actually real? – What? – Yeah, people actually play it. – Yeah, that’s the whole thing, like what? Did you think it was like Quidditch? So there’s not a lot of rules. The main thing is the diameter of the cone has to be no more than three and three-quarters inches. So we got a couple of cones here, this is a cake cone, I’m a cake cone guy, ’cause it’s got those little ridges in the bottom, and then they soak up the ice-cream, and it’s like the butt-end of a burrito. Let’s see what we’ve got here. Diameter of only about two and a half inches. Way too small. Sugar cone, one and a half inches. (clatters) And then we’ve got these chocolate dipped cones from Baskin Robbins, these also look a little bit small, just under three inches. I would like this though, because you have the chocolate on the outside, so you get a little bit of that sturdiness, and also, what a treat to just eat the chocolate on the outside of the cone. So what I think we’re gonna use is your normal, standard, wide mouth waffle cone. Exactly three and three-quarters inches, so I guess this is a standard waffle cone size, which like what a fun fact to learn, that that’s the standard diameter of a waffle cone. Break that out at your next bar trivia, where you’re actually there alone ’cause your friends didn’t show up, because they said they would. – [Man] You don’t call them? – You don’t, yeah. We got a couple of scooper options here. There’s no rules on what type of scooper to use, but obviously to me, you would want something spring-loaded. So here’s just like your standard scoop, right? If you get this wetted-up with ice cream, when you get it onto the cone, you should be able to pull it off clean. But I don’t ever wanna run the risk of getting an unclean scoop. This got some good grip on the outside, and it’s adorable, but we’re not gonna use that. I don’t even know what this is or where it came from, or why we have it, but this is also a thing. What does this do, who has this? – It’s a whale, dude. – It’s a whale? – [Man] Yeah, look at it on the side. – Oh my God, it is a whale. Oh, that’s really cool, we’re keeping that. These are the only two real contenders. We’ve got two different spring loading systems, I wanna try these out, and this one’s a little bit smaller, so it’s gonna give me the advantage, but this one seems to have a really clean delivery mechanism. You like scoop it, and it just goes (pops tongue). Try this one. I kind of wanna see if I can just. Uh-oh. (drops) I’m more comfortable with this one. Because you see this one doesn’t project outwards, so it’s just gonna scoop it across, and then loosen it from the sides, whereas this one, if I’m holding the cone, it’s projecting the scoop outwards, it’s gonna throw off the balance. So now, I need to see someone, just your average guy, like a person with no real marketable talent, someone who just mires in mediocrity, with limited upper body strength, and weak noodle arms. I need to see how many scoops they can get into an ice-cream cone. Now where can we find a person like that? Davin, you’d consider yourself to be like a normal person, right? – Yeah, I think so, yeah. – It’s really important for me, I need to see how someone perfectly average, I mean you’re great, in your own ways we’re all special, all that. – Okay. – But someone who hasn’t done the amount of core stability training that I have, to scoop into a cone. – You don’t know that. – Are you ready? – [Josh] What? – You don’t know that. – I’ve seen your shirtless selfies on Instagram. – Oh. – What do you think a world record would be? Of most in a cone. What’s the most you’ve ever seen in a single cone? – What’s the most? – Yeah. Like the most scoops of ice-cream. – You can get like three cones for like, I don’t know, 12 dollars? – 12 dollars? (laughs) The record is 125 scoops. Don’t freak out, don’t freak out, it’s fine. We’re gonna beat it, it’s easy, it’s all just about, anyways. – So it’s a scooping act, then a balancing act at the same time? – Yeah. Josh? – You’re doing great. You got to fight it, I’m worried that the ice-cream’s too hard, maybe I should loosen it up. – This ice-cream frozen, man. – There you go, keep digging. – Oh, I broke the cone! (laughs) – This is my favorite ice-cream in the world, by the way. – What? – It’s French Lavender, – Oh. – from Mashti Malone’s in Hollywood, oh, it’s so good, it’s so good. – I recognize this taste from my humidifier in my bedroom. – Yeah, it’s humidifier flavored. – [Davin] Yeah. – If we can figure out a way to glue this down, to prevent you from having to brace the other hand. – Yeah, that’s a beautiful scoop though. – That’s a good scoop, man. What are you at, four? – This is my fifth one. And I’m already running out of space. I’m playing ice-cream Jenga now. – Yeah. – This is, – [Josh] Did you go in with a strategy in your head? – No, this is actually kind of satisfying, this is almost like ASMRish. (Josh snorting) – Just imagine what the sound is like when you scoop the ice-cream. – Hey, Chris, bring the boom down right next to the ice-cream so we can hear the ASMR. – Here we go, here we go. Ready? – Today, we’re scooping ice-cream. (squelching) Listen to the sound of the ice-cream scraping against the scooper. ASMR is not technically a sex thing, but it’s also not not a sex thing. – Is there a reason why you choose this flavor of ice-cream? – Oh, it’s delicious. – Oh, okay. – I love it. No, but we didn’t choose this– – Oh no, oh no, oh no! – No! – Oh! – Oh, okay, valuable lesson learned! – [Davin] I was kind of like doing this, I was holding the thing, right, so it’s like angled. – So it’s gonna be imperative that we anchor this down somehow. – Definitely.

So I just watched Davin trying to attempt the world record, he got about 17 in, which for someone with Davin’s skinny arms, – What flavor is this? – is pretty good. – [Josh] It’s lavender, do you like it? – No. – Tastes like perfume. – It smells, yep. – Yeah, it’s great. So, what we learned from Davin, we need to figure out a way to adhere the ice-cream, – Okay. – to the table somehow. – Adhere the tub to the table? – [Josh] Yeah, yeah yeah. Are you worried about the condensation? – No. The reason they call it hot glue is ’cause it actually gets really hot, and then it doesn’t anymore, it kind of cools down, that’s its whole thing. – I love all of the fun facts that I learn from you. – Yeah. – Yeah. (clicks) Lucas, you’ve done it man. – I think, – I’m a scooping machine on this. We’re going baby. – You can use that ice-cream though, I mean, if you wanna? – You’re right. – There you go. There you go, bud. Scoop it right in the old goal. Yeah, come on, another one, do another one. How many can you get in there at once? How many do you think? – We got our station set up, we got our cone, we have my assistant Kristin, Kristin, thank you for not volunteering, but letting us drag you out here anyways. – Of course. – So you are my stick man. So when I yell “stick”, what you’re gonna do is you’re gonna take the scooper out of the warm water, dry it off and put it in my right hand. And then Davin, we got you the official counter. – I am the official counter. – Don’t let me cheat this at all. I’m gonna try and cheat the entire way through, I need you to keep me accountable. Lucas. Color commentating. – Okay, got it. Can I also referee Davin? – Yeah. – Great. – Yeah. – Please. – Every referee needs a referee, but– – [Lucas] Great. – I’m ready. (claps) Let’s get hyped, come on, quack, quack, quack, (applause) quack, quack, quack, quack. Stop, perfect. Come on! – He’s slapping himself in the face. Getting into that classic Josh mood. – Alright, ready for scoop number one? Alright, let’s go, and we’re in. (intense music) – And we’re off. First scoop is in the cone. – That’s one. – It was purple, second scoop in the cone. – Two. – Already some struggling happening. – Three. – Now we’re almost filling up the cone. – Five. – Oh! – Good. – That’s not one. – He has an eye for commitment to detail. – I really appreciate that. – Six. – Seven. – Ooh, first crack heard from the cone, testing the limits. – It’s fine, it’s fine! – This is when it gets really exciting. – Kristin, stick! (clatters) – That’s 13. – You can see them working in unison, a team practiced with each other for months before this. – Oh. – [Josh] Uh-oh. – Okay, we’re at 25. One hundred to go. – Fix. – (desperate laugh) Let’s go, Davin, let’s go! Baby, it’s just me and you, just like it’s always been. – 46. – Just got to zone out. They say the best athletes they just get in the zone and they feel like they can’t miss. – 47. – My right arm, I’m not gonna lie, is starting to go. It’s starting to go. That’s fine. This is where real athletes are measured. Kristin, I’m switching. – 53. (clatters) – And we’re moving on. – 54. – Uh-oh. I need to start packing around the outside again. How am I on symmetricality? – Awful. – 58. – (laughs) Ah, someone rub out my forearm real quick! – 59. – No, get, dig your thumb in! – Yep, thank you. – 63, Josh, you’re halfway through. Oh, some drippage on his arm there. – There’s some drippage on the rest I’m seeing. – Oh, I don’t think that you should do that, man! I don’t think you should do that! – Don’t tell me how to play my game! – Okay. – Don’t tell me how to play my game! It’s starting to get heavy in my left hand. That’s not what I’m worried about right now, what I’m worried about, – 69. – Is my forearm starting to lock up. It’s that thumb release. – I’m sensing some shake. – That’s got me there, but really it’s my hand meats. Going back, stick! Get me the purple. Did I get that one in the sink? – No. – 75. (intense music) 76. – Oh, we’ve got a cone breakage, is that cone breakage? – It’s great. – That’s fine, you see my hand shaking, it’s fine, come on! – It’s fine, you’re still fine. – It’s okay, you got it. – 78. 80, my heart is beating so fast right now. 81. – I’m going back to yellow. Stick me. – That one got in the sink. – Boom, baby! We’re dialing it up now! It’s starting to feel, the base is going out on me. – We should start going up, we should start going up. – 88. – 36 more. – Come on baby, not even 100, what’s up? Who cares? – 91. – Focus on that side, yeah. – Kristin, stick. – 94. (clatters) – Don’t worry about it. Yeah, attack the back. – 97. – You’re unsymmetrical, attack the back. – 98. – Oh, God, we’re almost there. – 99. – You’ve worked for this for so long. – 100. – Yes! – Guys, – 102. – Guys, we’re having serious problems here. – Josh! – The cone at the bottom there, – Josh, Josh, Josh! – Oh, oh! – You got it, keep it in your hand, Josh! – Shut up, shut up, everyone stop speaking. We need a miracle. – 104. – You got this. – 106. – I’m gonna get frostbite! – Feed that back, you got that one all right. – 107. Oh, my, – It’s full-on breaking at the bottom. – Goodness, 108. – Go. – Oh no, oh, – Are you not entertained? – You got it, Josh, you still got it. – Josh, 18, 18! – I’m just fisting it now, man! – It’s in the cone, and it’s in your hand. – I’m just fisting it! – 109! – It’s still on the cone! – You got this! – Josh! – Come on! – Do it for yourself! – 110! – This is sick, no! (groans of anguish and disappointment) Oh my God, I can’t believe. Again! – 110! – Again! – Plus, I moved six seconds shorter. – We’re not gonna do this. – Yesterday we were 15 off man. – You failed. – It’s like, I’m not mad at all right now. You could look at this and call it a failure, most would, by definition it is. – [Lucas] It is. – But I look at this and I see a heck of an effort by (bang) – Whoa! – Dammit! (laughing) You got another one of those? – We did it! – Whoa! (applauding) – Dude, you got confetti in all the ice-cream! Dimitri, I’ve gotta hand it to you, you’re a pro for a reason, for now, gonna get back to training, I’m gonna enjoy my little pity party here, and we’ll see you. We’ll see you on the flip.
