Starting point is 00:02:32 What is it called? Agents of Travel. Okay. My partner, Rachel, and I, we loosely have characters we're secret agents for the National Tourism Office, and we bring on guests
Starting point is 00:02:46 and we interrogate them about their previous trips that they've taken. I'm so into this. That's great. And then at the end, we each pitch them their dream trip
Starting point is 00:02:56 and they have to choose whose dream trip they want to go to. Oh my God, can I come on and be interrogated? No. Okay, well,
Starting point is 00:03:04 I tried. I thought I'd throw it out there. I felt a warm embrace. No, I would love to have you on. Really? I would love to have you on, yes. Okay. That's great.

Starting point is 00:04:09 His big trip that he talked about was going to Long Beach. Pretty big. Yeah. It can be. Pretty huge. You've been to Colorado? I have traveled. I'm just kidding.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I have traveled. I've been to Japan. I've been to London, Scotland. I've been to Croatia. Nice. That's on my list. Mexico when I was a kid. I've been to Japan. I've been to London, Scotland. I've been to Croatia. Nice. That's on my list. Mexico when I was a kid. I've been to Toronto. Oh, I've yet to go to...
Starting point is 00:04:31 I really want to go to Toronto. Wow. Toronto. Wow, Garrett. Sounds like I've been all over. I know. No, that's the extent of it. Oh, Australia.
Starting point is 00:04:39 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey, you've been a lot of places. Yeah, yeah. That's pretty good. There's a lot of places I want to go. What about you? What's your list? Yeah, yeah. Amanda? A lot of tropical places. Oh, okay. I'm a lot of places. There's a lot of places I want to go. What about you? What's your list? A lot of tropical places.
Starting point is 00:04:48 I'm a scuba diver, you know. Belize, Turks and Caicos. Italy, Ischia, the Amalfi Coast, the Azores, where my family is from. Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Victoria, British Columbia, Alaska, Florida.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Florida. Florida. San Sebastian. Wow. Barranco, France. Okay, so you guys have traveled a lot more than me. No. Listen, I was really lucky.
Starting point is 00:05:27 My mom traveled a lot. Like that was her goal. Like Cayman Islands. Like she was wanted us to go everywhere. I was really lucky. That's really cool. So yeah, that's great. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:38 So I guess I'm cooler. Well, we'll get into we'll get into. OK. OK. We're here to talk about first is eat it or eat it. Oh, right. A fan favorite. One of Smosh's greatest legacies. Darkest legacies, but greatest.
Starting point is 00:05:51 Darkest. The biggest show on Smosh that I was scared to enter the stage. I put the bib on and I was like, this is the end of my life. I'm going to die. It just came to an end. And we don't know. you know, I don't think a show ever ends forever on Smosh. I think it's like, we might bring it back
Starting point is 00:06:10 for a special episode. I don't know. I don't know either. That's a decision that would be made by a lot of people. But we kind of brought it to a little bit of an end there with the Last Supper episode, which was absolutely insane. It was chaotic. I was watching it back,
Starting point is 00:06:28 and the part where all of us were throwing up, basically, at the same time, I was like, this is like Triangle of Sadness equals the Bible. What's happening here? It was a lot. But I want to take it back to the beginning. Okay. Because it started.
Starting point is 00:06:41 It started. Yeah, let's go back to Genesis with Phil Collins. let's go back to genesis uh with phil collins um let's go back to 2019 yes which is when it started yeah was it 2019 or 2018 it's 2019 okay because it was like one of the first because so oh right after the shutdown yeah yeah we all got back we got back together we got back to the mythical offices like once everyone was hired back we were then like we want to start new shows yeah we wanted to like start fresh with some things we knew what we're gonna do try not to laugh but otherwise it was like what's the other thing and uh so i pitched
Starting point is 00:07:14 this show and i in my head i called it face jam yeah and i pitched it as face jam because the idea originally was there was no bell it was like the food would show up and everyone would just reach for the food to try to grab it and stuff it in their mouth. Yeah. Which is kind of what you do on Eat It or Yeet It a lot, Shane. Yeah. Okay. Well, I'm sticking true to my original idea here.
Starting point is 00:07:34 But it went through a lot of different cycles and ideas. And then it kind of became this collaborative idea, which was Eat It or Yeet It. I didn't know that. I forget who coined the name. I didn't know that. I forget who coined the name. Yeah, I know. There were a bunch of, yeah, it felt like Eat It or Yeet It might not actually be, it was like a joke name for a second. I think at first we were laughing.
Starting point is 00:07:56 What were the other names? It was just FaceTime? I don't know if we had other pitches, but Eat It or Yeet It was like a joke because at that time, yeet was still like a big phrase. Was it big still? Maybe it was already past its prime by a couple years and we were like, screw it.
Starting point is 00:08:12 But it's a little ironic and stupid. So we went with that because we were all like, whatever, who cares. And we liked just being like, eat it or yeet it. It's fun to say. Not fun to do. I'm trying to remember because my memory is...
Starting point is 00:08:27 I had a blast. My memory is blurry. Were you... You were the chef right away. Yes. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it was
Starting point is 00:08:34 the episode one. I wasn't on camera for it, but I was the chef for it. And it was... Because it was... It was basically kind of like this idea that like...
Starting point is 00:08:44 Well, not this idea. But it was basically like nobody knew how to actually execute it. Nobody was like, who will actually make this food? Yeah. Because we had zero, as a team, no chef knowledge, which is funny because we're right next to the Mythical Kitchen. Yeah. But they were busy doing their stuff. Well, I mean, they would give me lots of advice.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I learned a lot. And I was just like, you know, I am interested. I like to me lots of advice i learned a lot and i was just like i you know i am interested i like to cook at home i cook a lot and uh no training or anything but you know i pay attention to recipes and watch videos and sure uh i was like yeah i can do that and uh you know it was kind of like whoever can do what it was all hands on deck kind of stuff. And so, yeah, so I made with I think at that time it was Finnerty and Monica were like in charge of that part of that show. We were still like kind of working out the teams. So I think that for a moment there, Sketch and Pit were kind of like blended in like the creation process. Yeah, I think I came in a year after.
Starting point is 00:09:54 I remember it was like one of my third videos doing Eat It or Eat It. Yeah. On the unscripted side? Because you were doing Sketch for a while. You did Sketch for a while. I did Sketch for a long time. And then you started doing. And then I started doing that.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Because it was probably a little bit. Yeah. So was it always, did you always know that some foods were going to be like. Yes. Naughty and some were going to be nice? Yeah. Because that was the original pitch. That was the original pitch.
Starting point is 00:10:20 The idea was kind of like you're making a gamble. You're trying to get away without eating something too bad. Which honestly is brilliant. Yeah. It is really fun because that's what causes like the stress of like, ah! Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And also judging food, like looking at it and being like, mm.
Starting point is 00:10:35 And then remember we were talking about the mind games of the food? Yep. As someone who would be on it, I'd be like, I don't know. I think it might be bad. And even if it's good, you're eating it and you're like, I feel like something bad's coming, but it's not. Yeah. Well, yeah, because no good food, by the end of it, no good food was actually good because of the mindset that you were in. I remember I was so happy when it finally culminated in the episode where I got to cook the foods.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Yeah. And I made them all good. I wanted an episode that had all desserts. It was all good stuff. But everyone was freaking out the whole time. And I was like, good. We have, this show has succeeded at getting into our heads. We don't trust anything anymore.
Starting point is 00:11:24 And that was the point. How early on, when you did those first couple episodes, were you like, am I in over my head? Or were you having fun? I was having fun. You were just having a good time? Yeah, just having a good time. And I think that first episode, I was having so much fun just watching people eat my food then. Knowing what was going to happen for each dish.
Starting point is 00:11:47 Yeah, it was just a blast from the start. Because I think your reactions were so funny. We started, we were like, we need a Garrett cam. Yeah. We need to get your reactions. When did we get the Garrett cam? It was episode two, I think. Was it episode two?
Starting point is 00:11:59 I think, because I think you called it out, if I remember correctly. Just like, you know, like, you were know, like, the whole cast would see me, because I think it was also like, Aideen. Yeah. And so they'd see me kind of like. Yeah, yeah. Just looking over. Yeah, look over.
Starting point is 00:12:18 I would judge based on your reaction sometimes. Oh, me too. I'd be like, okay, Garrett looks. The bigger the smile, the worse the food was. Yeah. Which is such a mind trip. You have a very specific face for when it's going to be bad
Starting point is 00:12:31 and you're just like, you're like, your eyebrows raise up, you're smiling. It's the look of the devil. I'm like, fuck. It really is. But good stuff.
Starting point is 00:12:41 So wait, how did you always come up with new ways to screw with us? Like new recipes? I mean, for a while I would just kind of wander a grocery store.
Starting point is 00:12:55 Really? That was my process for a long time. Just looking for stuff that is unique or that you think... Yeah, just like... I mean, I already loved grocery stores like i love grocery stores i love to wander like my partner rachel hates going shopping with me because because i'll take her wander yeah so yeah i would just kind of like wander grocery stores
Starting point is 00:13:17 and kind of like you know see things you know see the stuff that's on the shelves that's really cool and kind of like oh what what about that thing I saw earlier? What if I mixed it with like this like dark, bitter chocolate? My brain does not think like that. That's really cool. Yeah. You're a chemist of food. Have you had to get your head out of that space since?
Starting point is 00:13:40 Uh, oh. Because now you get to go to the grocery store and only think about cooking good stuff. I know. Uh, I guess, I guess I haven't gone to the grocery store much lately. Okay. Since, uh, since it ended. Um, yeah. Well, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And I, I think now, right now, yeah, I've been shopping like with a objective and then just grabbing stuff. Do you miss it? A little bit. Yeah. A little bit. I, yeah, I really enjoyed that. I don't know. Okay, this is a stupid comparison,
Starting point is 00:14:09 but did you watch The Bear? Of course. Yes, chef. The first several episodes of season two where Sydney's kind of like wandering Chicago, eating and staring at stuff. That was my process, but for bad food. I think it's great.
Starting point is 00:14:30 I loved the way that they shot that. It felt like, what's that chef show where they go around and- Chef's Table. Chef's Table, right, exactly. It felt like that, all the shots of the dishes. I loved that whole experience of her walking around yeah i wish we'd have done a chef's table but with you where it's like you talking about they show they show a banana they show a banana and they're like yeah so when i when i emptied
Starting point is 00:14:54 the banana and filled it with tomato sauce i was thinking you know how do i how do i take this tropical fruit but add an italian zest to it i was in the hills and then like a france a glamour shot of this banana yes yeah is it rots from the inside right yeah that would be great look you were you were cooking it up yeah i was cooking people i wish they could have seen just from our perspective like working in this office and looking into the kitchen and just seeing you madness every burner going at like the whole table covered in ingredients all sorts of shit and there were days where you'd walk in there and the smell would be i wouldn't i don't want to say bad i just want to say a smell you've
Starting point is 00:15:36 never smelled before i'm like what is that i i do have to you know, I'm not the cleanest cook. I'm not either. That's hard. I'm very clean. I'm a chaos. I'm very clean. Okay. I do my dishes as things are cooking, and I'm crushing it. I don't know how you do that.
Starting point is 00:15:53 I don't know how you do it. I try to do that. I don't know how you do it. I leave every kitchen a catastrophe. How do you work? Chaotically. Oh, I get stressed. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:04 I'm just like, oh, I need to be chopping onions right now. And then drop everything. You're a mad scientist. Yeah, maybe. You are, yeah. Do you have a dish that you think was your best dish? Yeah, something you're proud of. Well, it's hard because any dish that I'm proud of i'm also ashamed of what do you what do you
Starting point is 00:16:29 mean oh i get it he's a mad scientist well the one that's like the one that hits the hardest like the cat food one maybe well i my the one i always think about is a literal mud pie yeah i think i was there for that so worms in there yeah it had cockroaches in it yeah yeah i felt bad because that was like jackie's first episode right and she like had to walk away dude it was bad um i want to save i want to save for the end of this show uh for us to guess each other's least favorite dish. Yeah. So we'll save that for the very end. Because I know mine.
Starting point is 00:17:08 I've said it many times. I know mine. And I know Garrett probably knows mine, too. But so literal mud pie was an incredible one. I got to say, you know, there were some that were so fantastic, like the infinity gauntlet. You had some insane ones. That was with Rachel. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:26 Rachel Evans, yeah. That was impressive. The Halloween one, too, where I was the nun and that open glass case with the little shot glass. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I forget what it was. What was in that shot glass? It was like, I think it was bad.
Starting point is 00:17:41 Yeah. Like an oyster shooter? No, it was maybe like malic acid liquid. That wasn't the malic acid Bittrex mix. No, but I consistently got your poison. I consistently got Bittrex. I remember my first episode that I ever did, I got Bittrex, and I think it was spaghetti and meatballs.
Starting point is 00:18:03 You know what's crazy? It was awful. One of the most fascinating things about Eat It or Yeet It is how, coincidentally, some people ended up getting the same thing all the time. Because you mentioned you got Bittrex a lot. All the time. I don't think I ever got Bittrex. Really?
Starting point is 00:18:17 I don't think I ever got it. I mean, let me know in the comments if I did. It's the worst. I maybe did. It is. But I got malic acid so often. Yeah. And it truly was coincidental that I kept landing on the rounds where it
Starting point is 00:18:28 showed up to the point that there were times where I, there would be a dish and I would look off and I would see you being like, don't take that one. Don't take that one. Cause you knew I'm like not going to be affected by it. It's like, no, we want someone to get messed up.
Starting point is 00:18:41 I wish you told me not to take certain things. I was like, yum. Like, no, we want someone to get messed up by this. I wish you told me not to take certain things. I was like, yum! Next time, if we do a one-off, I'll tell you. Really? Okay. Yeah. Do you have any that you regret?
Starting point is 00:18:55 Do you have any dishes that you're like, oh, God, I went too hard. Or I, yeah. I love it. They're right there. He doesn't need to think about it. Well, I mean, that's why, I mean, the literal mud pie again. You know, I felt bad for Jackie. Right.
Starting point is 00:19:15 So, yeah, I regretted that. Also, I think there was one that did kind of mess up Damien's stomach a little bit with the Bittrex. Yeah. And I think maybe that was the mix the Bittrex. Yeah. And I think maybe that was the mix of Bittrex and malic acid. Interesting. And then some of those early days before we capped the
Starting point is 00:19:38 hot chili peppers. Put a cap to the hot chili peppers that I could use. I never experienced that. Yeah, you missed the early days. We used to do so much spicy stuff. Yeah. That used to be the theme. Do you know how many habanero peppers I've eaten on Smosh Games and Smosh Pit over the years?
Starting point is 00:19:55 How do you do that? Because I feel like I get really worried. Like I've eaten spice stuff and I feel like I'm going to die and I'm like there's no one who's going to be able to help me. That's how it feels. My first week I had to eat a habanero pepper and do karaoke. First week. Why did you have to do karaoke? It was a summer games video.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Oh. But I, it was my first time ever eating a whole habanero pepper. Like whole, just you bite into it. And I didn't realize that it's not the spiciness in your mouth that's the problem. It's when it gets down to your stomach and it hurts so bad. Oh, really? Yeah. It hurts so much.
Starting point is 00:20:32 If you haven't eaten a lot, which I don't think I had, empty stomach, habanero pepper goes in. You cannot stand up straight. What can you do to calm it? Milk? Milk, bread. Yogurt. Bread. Yogurt, bread. I found yogurt works the best because it coats your mouth. It's thicker.
Starting point is 00:20:52 I remember Noah, he was in the same situation as me that first week and he decided to try to chug milk and that resulted in him throwing up so bad. Wait, really? Yes, genuinely. It was rough.
Starting point is 00:21:08 See, that's... No, luckily... The throw up. Luckily, since you... These past couple years, nobody has actually thrown up. Well, except, I guess, Jackie. But on camera, it has not really been as much of a thing, and we've gotten better about it.
Starting point is 00:21:23 The throw up is something I... I'd rather eat something nasty than be next to someone who's throwing oh for sure for sure like it's it's terrible and luckily on eat it or eat it for the most part people just spit out their food yeah that's the idea yeah um so you don't regret angela's cat food do you regret that do you regret that do you want to issue any apologies? I honestly think, I honestly think, no, she's not here. I honestly think that it created like a whole other level of the whole other level to the show. Actually, it tastes like a protein that an animal would have, not a human. All right. This is fried cat food.
Starting point is 00:22:00 I don't think you should regret it because like that was the job man I know that was what you were tasked with yeah I also think that cat food moment I think is what kind of established Angela yes you know I feel like everyone has their moment where it's like the fans are kind of like, whoa. Yeah. Cool. I think before then, Angela was obviously people liked her. She's super funny. But I feel like there is a before the cat food and after the cat food, Angela. She was like, all right, here we go.
Starting point is 00:22:38 Yeah, you definitely. You're welcome, Angela. Yeah, you started her career. Garrett made you a star, Angela. You better thank him. Thank him. The cat food moment is probably, that could be a top three moment for me. It's cat food for me.
Starting point is 00:22:54 It's the first malic acid moment. When Mythical Chef Josh, when Josh then takes a bite after I took a bite. That wasn't the first malic acid moment. Was it not the first malic acid? No. No, no, no. Oh, the first one is. It's one of my favorites.
Starting point is 00:23:09 The first, okay. Yeah. Do you want to tell it from your perspective? Because I would have been terrified if I were you. It was the first, like, full chaos moment on Eat It or Yeet It that I can remember. And it's Olivia. There's a bowl full of cashews. They look like they're salted cashews.
Starting point is 00:23:28 They're not salted. Oh, my God. It's malic acid. You're a nice. And she takes it, dumps the whole thing in her mouth. Went hard. And then just, like, jumps up, sprays them everywhere, screams. Everybody's like, what is going on?
Starting point is 00:23:43 What has happened? And I, yeah, I's like, what is going on? What has happened? And I, yeah, I was like, oh no. Oh, I, I, I didn't know. Cause I didn't know it was malic acid. I didn't know what it was, what, and at the time I didn't, I, didn't know it was malic acid. I didn't know what it was. And at the time, they looked like salted cashews. But Olivia starts acting like she's dying. And I mean, truly, I truly, I truly, oh, everyone got scared. I'm scared now.
Starting point is 00:24:17 And after a moment, then her reaction turned into more something like where it was like, okay, you're okay. You're just having an extreme... You're also leaning into it. Olivia does a great job of that. She does that. Then Keith also did a bunch, and he had the same exact reaction. We don't realize it's sour.
Starting point is 00:24:37 We just know they're having an extreme reaction to this and freaking out. Is that where Keith takes off his shirt, I think? He might have. It was nuts. It was literal nuts. And then he's like, I'm going to take off my shirt. And I remember it getting offered to me. And thankfully, I go, no, I am not touching that shit.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Obviously not. That was the first time Malic Acid happened. You explained it. And it was like, holy shit. So then we have a couple episodes later. I get served a burger. And I take a huge bite of it. Ew. And I'm i'm like something tastes off about it but i'm like it's a burger it's fine and you look flabbergasted yeah oh my god i swear to god oh is it good don't keep going from the
Starting point is 00:25:19 edges really get in there oh it was good at first and so it's over. Garrett's looking at me and he's like, take another bite. And they're like talking to each other, the producers are like, what's going on? Like, what's happening? And I'm sitting there eating it, I'm like, okay, I know something's supposed to be wrong. I'm, you know, if something's gross,
Starting point is 00:25:40 I don't know if this ruins it for people, if something's gross and I take a bite of it and I'm like, it's not that gross to me, I'll still play it up. Because I'm like, it's still gross, and I'll lean in. I'm not trying to hold it in. I'm going to make a show of it.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I genuinely am like, I think this maybe is good. I'm enjoying this. And then I set it down. I'm talking about it. Mythical Chef Josh is there. And I've seen this dude eat so much bullshit. I went on one of his shows once, and he made me eat an entire tarantula. No.
Starting point is 00:26:09 No. 100%. No. I will not do bugs. 100. Whole tarantula. No. And I had to eat it, and he did it.
Starting point is 00:26:15 He did it. No reaction from Josh. Josh is fine. Yeah. He's a tank. But he takes a bite of this burger, and I'm sitting there. I'm eating it. I'm like, this is fine.
Starting point is 00:26:24 He takes a bite, and he immediately spits it out and freaks out too I can't even, oh my god. It took him like two nights to get there to be one. What is wrong with you? Same type of reaction as Olivia where he's like, this is the worst thing ever. So what is wrong with you? So that's where we coined the term grave mouth. Because I do not have the same thing as everyone with sour. Which was also a cool thing about the show is how different everyone's palates are. Are you okay? I think so.
Starting point is 00:27:08 Are you sick? I think the honest explanation is I loved sour candy as a kid. And I was popping Warheads like they were Skittles. I did love sour candy too. I loved Warheads, the blue ones. The blue ones were the worst.
Starting point is 00:27:23 But still, Malic Acid? Absolutely not, man. Well, it's super intense, but I don't know. It's another Gravemouth chance, right? Yeah, what was chances? No, I think Malic Acid. Oh, Malic Acid. Some people just can handle sour stuff.
Starting point is 00:27:36 Yeah. But everyone's different because Damien could handle salty things really well. And I always remember that, that Damien would get certain dishes that were intended to be bad and he would be like, this is good. So wait, if you knew the people who kind of had grave mouth, how did you get around that and give them something that would F them over? I mean, well, it was just because it was just grave mouth for malic acid. So I mean, still.
Starting point is 00:28:01 Yeah. So, you know, I still found plenty of other ways to get to Shane. Oh, yeah? Yeah. Like, what was the biggest one? Oh, I mean, I'm not. Well, yeah. I'm not going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:28:11 Yeah. Because I know. And you know. Yeah. No, no, no. It truly got me. It's all a blur. But, you know, you think about it.
Starting point is 00:28:21 There's really only a couple avenues you can go. You know, there's bitter. There's sour. There's salty. Yes. It's like you know, you think about it, there's really only a couple avenues you can go. You know, there's bitter, there's sour, there's salty. Yes. It's like you kind of. I was trying to find more like funk. Funk? Like a bad funk.
Starting point is 00:28:34 Interesting. Like rotten. Like, you know, like I was trying. You're sick. Well, it got harder and harder to do the research, but like, you know, I think there was one time, uh, I, I think there was like a, uh, one, one thing I'm, I was proud of, but it never got the reaction and it never, like, I don't think I quite hit it.
Starting point is 00:28:56 Uh, I think I did a plate of poop and pee. What? So I eventually got them. I just shit on a plate and handed it to you. Wow, you really ran out of ideas. There was a meme in Who Memed It of eat it or eat it literal shit. And it's so funny. But it was fake.
Starting point is 00:29:17 It was fake. So I was trying to find. I was doing research on the flavor profiles. Of poop and pee. And trying to find. You had to figure out what poop and pee tastes like And then trying to map You find things that kind of make that I think the pee kind of
Starting point is 00:29:34 People didn't like it And it kind of hit that Oh way And I put it in a little pee cup You're sick I want to see your search history over the last years. No, no.
Starting point is 00:29:47 Poop pee make people sick. I'm very glad that I have no idea what that stuff tastes like. Wait. I'm sitting here. I'm like, what? You've never drank pee or poop? What the fuck, Amanda?
Starting point is 00:29:58 Every year I do it. Get out. Just the reset. Get out. No, but I haven't. Everything tastes better from there I haven't but don't you hear that survival guy That people
Starting point is 00:30:08 I've seen Bear Grylls drink his own pee Okay so what So the poo and the pee What was the closest flavor profile Well so like Pee I was trying to get the I was trying to remember Kind of like that uric acid
Starting point is 00:30:24 So it was like a little little acidic and a little like salty okay cool yeah yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:30:33 and then poop like like a earthy rotten funk Selena's just like I know no thank you
Starting point is 00:30:42 can this reminds me though yeah one of probably probably my personal favorite moment Selena's just like, no, thank you. This reminds me, though. Yeah. One of probably my personal favorite moment on Eat It or Yeet It was early on. And a dish comes up, and it's a plate of shit. It looks like a dog turd. And I immediately hit the bell because I'm just like, there's no way this is what it looks like.
Starting point is 00:31:04 There's no way. But everyone else was like, oh shane good luck i i take a spoon i dig into this this this shit and i take a bite and i sit there and i go hell yes this is chocolate and graham crackers and it was so delicious it was actually really good yeah and i was so happy. It was actually really good. Yeah. And I was so happy because I was like, that to me was what I wanted out of this show. And so like it could have ended there and I'd have been like, this is a success. I was so happy. I was so happy in that moment. That moment, my favorite. Would you say then that Shane is like the biggest champ of Eat It or Eat It?
Starting point is 00:31:40 Because I feel like Shane. I think he was on the most episodes. I was on the most episodes. I don't know if I'm the biggest champ though. Define champ. like Shane- I think it was on the most episodes. It was on the most episodes. I don't know if I'm the biggest champ, though. Define champ. Like who- I think who tolerated the most. Who tolerated the most.
Starting point is 00:31:50 I feel like you've tolerated a lot. Yeah, I feel like- Damien? Damien, okay. There's different types of champs. Who can handle the most? Damien. It became known,
Starting point is 00:32:00 there's just not much that grosses him out food-wise. And I've known that about Damien a long time. He's a very adventurous eater. Like he'll be interested in something different. If something is gross to him, it's not gross. It's, oh, I've never tasted this before. I really respect him for it. But it made that show tough because you want to get that reaction.
Starting point is 00:32:21 You're just – Damien's not going to – you're not gonna get it because he just isn't affected. But some people who I think, I think Olivia, she always ended up with the big bite, man. And she was always like, eh, it's good. She surprised me.
Starting point is 00:32:39 Olivia also is one of those people that she and I have kind of opposite palates in a lot of ways because what grosses her out doesn't gross me out. And I remember this before Eat It or Yeet It, but I remember finding out the first time I had natto
Starting point is 00:32:51 and I couldn't do it. The texture and everything. I was like, it's like fermented soybeans. And for a lot of people, they love it. But for me, I was like, my palate just isn't suited for this. And so it just is is so i want to like it it looks good i can't handle it but then like malic acid just destroys olivia and so it's fascinating to me that i'm like people
Starting point is 00:33:16 taste things differently and the the one thing olivia refused to eat she She paid Keith to eat it. How much? Like $5. It was just a donut and a cup of water. Ew. I know. That's the thing. Well, there's also texture people. I'm a texture person big time.
Starting point is 00:33:39 Some textures can be rough, but I would say overall. Like the clear episode. Remember when you did everything was clear? That was very rough for me, because it was so slippery and slimy that I was like, this texture is grossing me out. I'm such a texture person. This episode is brought to you by MeUndies.
Starting point is 00:33:57 You know, the thing about being a guy is we're pretty much stuck with what we've got appearance-wise. You know, male makeup, you know, what would go along with my powdered wig, you know? A peck push-up bra? I actually probably could use what, wanna go along with my powdered wig, you know? A peck push-up bra? I actually probably could use that. But what would the bros say, you know? Maggings that accentuate the caboose?
Starting point is 00:34:11 Dude, there's kids out there. Finally, MeUndies is unveiling their latest gift to help men feel big. The contoured pouch and ball caddy. The micromodal sling keeps things separated and lifted. Nine out of ten women swear the sophisticated brief

No, it's true. And I will say, I put on these MeUndies, I looked in the mirror, and I was like, oh! Whoa! Yeah.

Back to the show. Here we go. Do you prefer liquids or solids on Eat It or Eat It? Because that's a real thing for me. I passed on every liquid. You know what?
Starting point is 00:35:31 I would prefer, I think I would prefer liquid over solids. Because like all the meats, like mystery meat and burgers and all that stuff makes me like gross city. But like drinks, I feel like I got a lot of drinks I feel like I was like I'll go for that I don't know what it is because it'll go down quicker where is this
Starting point is 00:35:50 I'm the opposite I'm the opposite because for me like if you have a solid you put it in your mouth and you're like this is gross it's not like
Starting point is 00:35:57 everywhere you can kind of spit it out easily there's more of like there's less commitment with a solid strangely whereas a liquid you drink it it it's in there. There's not much you can do.
Starting point is 00:36:10 The liquids are, I think the ceiling for how gross a liquid can be, far more than a solid. I agree, but for some reason, I can do a liquid. Maybe it's all the years of taking horrible shots in college. Those disgusting shots in college where it was like, you guys want to do, what's the peppermint one? Peppermint schnapps?
Starting point is 00:36:29 No, the rumple mints. What? Do you guys remember rumple mints? No. I'm born in a town. We weren't in Boston. Little men called rumple mints. Rumple mints is a nasty city,
Starting point is 00:36:42 but we would take it. Yeah, that sounds awful So maybe it was like, I'm just used to it It's like, tequila shots But So, okay, so You're a mad scientist You were on Eat It or Yeet It
Starting point is 00:36:56 You were the host of Eat It or Yeet It Do you ever get recognized on the street? Yeah Really? Yeah, a lot Wow Talk to me What do they say?
Starting point is 00:37:05 Do they say Garrett from Eat It or Yeet It? Do people yell Eat It or Yeet It at you? Nobody yells Eat It or Yeet It at me. Okay. But yeah, I've gotten all sorts of reactions. It was hard at first. Yeah? It was hard?
Starting point is 00:37:21 Well, for me, I don't know. To be recognized. You were a little uncomfortable. I was uncomfortable it was anxiety inducing and like a few times because it's i mean i don't know like uh there was somebody who once uh kind of got a little overexcited had like a little like maybe breakdown and then like everybody else was like who is this guy you know i'm like yeah i'm no i'm not i'm not it's it is a weird thing because when we get recognized by people who like love smosh
Starting point is 00:37:51 it's so cool yeah but most people we don't i don't look like a celebrity like i just look like some guy especially when i'm out and about so people other people are like what the fuck is special about this dude i'm like there's really nothing special like i don't know um but i will you guys are special thank you i will i will say uh lately it's been very good like a lot of the people that recognize me are very nice about it they're and they're like very like hey i don't mean mean to bother you, just really love your show. Sweet. Nice to meet you. That's perfect. That's perfect. It's very sweet.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Sometimes a photo. That's a great way to do it. I've learned from being on this side of getting recognized out in public, the best thing, and this is what I would do if i recognized a celebrity who like i'm a fan of yeah is talking about their work that's like the best thing
Starting point is 00:38:51 because it's like oh i'm a fan of what you do i'm a fan of this thing you created it's so much easier for them to kind of talk about it react and it makes a fun moment and then you're just like all right great see you um so you know because when people are like i'm a fan of you it's like it's i don't know i'm like i'm like i'm not that cool like you know stop you guys are cool okay my book okay okay so you also you also love to travel yes right you probably don't get recognized when you travel. Maybe you do. In America, I do.
Starting point is 00:39:28 Airports. Airports? Maybe, yeah, I think I've been recognized at the airport. He's gonna yeet it! Like, get him! Yeet it,
Starting point is 00:39:41 or yeet it! To tackle the TSA. The detectives are talking to you and they're like, okay, so what was he talking about what are you gonna yeet um do you never gotten recognized in other countries um well i yeah not really well because like i i guess since i've been doing either you did i haven't done any crazy travel too much like i'm trying to think in Japan or Europe. Ethiopia, no.
Starting point is 00:40:07 Where's the last place that you went? Japan. Not this last Christmas, but the Christmas before. I'm trying to remember. Did I get recognized there? That's possible. I don't remember now.
Starting point is 00:40:23 Would you say that Japan is the craziest place you've ever traveled to? No. Where is it? What's the most fascinating place you've ever been? A place you've been that most people haven't. I would say a couple of a few places. Oh, okay. Timbuktu.
Starting point is 00:40:42 I was working a music festival in Timbuktu it was this musician I loved his festival even though he had passed Ali Farkature and Tinari a bunch of Malian Saharan kind of bands wow
Starting point is 00:40:59 so I always wanted to go to this festival thankfully I did because the day after I left Timbuktu, Al-Qaeda invaded and the festival is no more. Whoa. Just casually dropping like, yeah, so I got out before it got real bad. Shane and I are like Italy, Spain, Florida. I want to go back to Toronto.
Starting point is 00:41:23 How old were you when this happened? 32. Okay. Yeah. Oh, all right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. It was not the best idea.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Yeah, no, actually. Just kidding. Yeah. Just kidding. Yeah. Yeah, 2012. Okay, great. Oh, the year it was supposed to end.
Starting point is 00:41:43 Yeah. The world was supposed to end. Is that Y2K? No, Y2K was 2000 year it was supposed to end. Yeah. The world was supposed to end. Is that Y2K? No, Y2K was 2000. Don't start with me. You don't know your apocalypses that well. The Mayan calendar. I don't.
Starting point is 00:41:51 I don't like apocalypses. Well, good news. It didn't happen. It didn't? Yeah. 2012 was uneventful. Where's my wallet, keys? The Mayans just didn't finish their calendar.
Starting point is 00:42:01 Oh. They were just like, we're not going to get that far. Okay. They're like, nothing're not going to get that far. They're like, nothing interesting is going to happen after 2012. All right. And then the one that I think is accessible, maybe not right now. Give it a little second. But Beirut.
Starting point is 00:42:19 I love Beirut. I spent three months there. Traveled all around Lebanon. Yeah. I love Beirut. Lebanon. So cool cool it's really cool food's incredible food is incredible and as a vegetarian it was so much easier to eat in beirut than uh compared to like timbuktu interesting i that's something i don't know of like what countries are more vegetarian or where there's more vegetarian options um because i've heard some people talk about traveling to some places it's like impossible what countries are more vegetarian or where there's more vegetarian options.
Starting point is 00:42:46 Because I've heard some people talk about traveling to some places. It's impossible. Specifically the American South, I feel like, is probably hard. Yeah. We shot that at Dayjobs peanut farmers in Georgia in the middle of nowhere. There were days I was just like,
Starting point is 00:43:02 my lunch today is a couple fried vegetables and a piece of white bread. Oh my God. They're like, this is all we could get you. Okay, so Timbuktu was also hard for vegetarian. Timbuktu was hard because in Bamako I could find some veggie foods. I could eat eggs on baguettes, mostly.
Starting point is 00:43:27 Timbuktu, they'd give me this really greasy cabbage over couscous that was full of sand. Because it was in the Sahara, so sand is in everything. Wow. That was all that. And there are times I do eat meat. I went with a friend to a village in Mali, and they gave me a bowl of their prized chicken livers. I'm not going to say no to that. Wow.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I ate that. And then in the Balkans, there was nothing except for sausages. So I would eat a lot of sausages. Okay. So in times of need you would yes meat yeah yeah yeah yeah i prefer not to and let we'll just say the uh the hostel in the balkans was uh not a friendly place uh for the other people staying there at night uh it gives you bad gas if you if you haven't eaten meat in a long time,
Starting point is 00:44:25 you don't have the enzymes to digest it. I've heard about that. I remember the first time someone talking about eating red meat when you don't. And it's devastating. It is rough. Because your body kind of adapts. It's rough for you and everyone else around you.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Stinky! Stinky! So people weren't a fan of you. How long have you been vegetarian? Thirty two years. I respect it.
Starting point is 00:44:55 2012. I respect everyone who's vegetarian or vegan. Like, yeah, I I tell myself I'm like, OK, someday I want to do that because i do think it's right but it's it's tough man i i mean i you know i no i i i think it's not for everybody i think it's like you know definitely uh you know i i think everybody should cut back on their meat i think so but i don't think everybody yeah 100 i struggle i i feel like i would uh struggle giving up fish. Yeah. Like I grew up on so much fish that I would struggle with that. I have cut back. I don't eat red meat hardly like ever, I feel like. I think in America, like so many people eat red meat, too much red meat.
Starting point is 00:45:39 But the rest of the world doesn't eat as much red meat as we do. So I think it's so so is there a great place other than beirut for vegetarian food uh yeah so like beirut um while not like you know they don't necessarily understand vegetarianism there's so many good veggie options amazing uh india of course yeah india oh and i ate so well oh india was so good because you also like spice too yeah yeah yeah okay and like and like india it would be like i when i first got there and i was there's this one restaurant i was going to and like the first time i went it was like oh what do I get what do I get oh each thing's like 75 cents so I should probably get like a few things no each one was a meal holy crap and I
Starting point is 00:46:31 and they were all so it was all so good so every time I went I was eating three meals each time oh my god just like because it was so good and I couldn't I couldn't decide so I just would get it all and just stuff myself. That's incredible. Do you have a place where you're like, that was my favorite food ever? On your trip, you're just like, this is heaven. Yeah, there was this hummus place I would go to in Beirut, and I don't know the name of the place but it was just like just the perfect creamy fluffy hummus with like veggies around it and pita and like mint leaves and it was so good you mentioned ethiopia earlier yeah
Starting point is 00:47:16 i've never had ethiopian food but whenever i see it it's great i'm like i i'm like how do you how do you go about eating this because it's like all on that one. Yeah. Like injera. With your hand. Yeah. Yeah. It's so good. Like spongy.
Starting point is 00:47:30 Yeah. Mm. I love Ethiopian food. Where I went to college, there was a bunch of Ethiopian food. Really? Western Massachusetts. Oh, really? Had so much Ethiopian food.
Starting point is 00:47:39 Yeah. Yeah. It was amazing. We had a lot of good restaurants in Western Massachusetts, which sounds like we wouldn't. I know. We weirdly did. Yeah, I think of like the Berkshires and like there's nothing else. It was so good.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah. So what's the most unique food that you've tried that you're like, whoa. Yeah, something that you think nobody else has had. Nobody else has had? Just most people. Most people. Like if you're like, I ate this thing. I mean, well, okay, this may not be totally answering the question, but.
Starting point is 00:48:08 You won't get in trouble. There was like a restaurant I went to last year where there were two dishes that I was like, I've never experienced this before. And it was this restaurant, Khan, in Portland. It just got James Beard best new restaurant in America. Yeah. After all these countries, you're like, well, in Portland. Yeah, got James Beard Best New Restaurant in America. After all these countries, you're like, well, in Portland. Yeah, I know. I wasn't expecting that. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:48:32 It's this chef I really love, Gregory. Chef Gregory. He's been on Top Chef a few times. No last names. Love it. He's like Beyonce. Chef Gregory. It's a Haitian restaurant. Cool.
Starting point is 00:48:46 And there were two dishes that just like I'd never experienced anything like it. One was like just this berry salad with smoked dehydrated coconut crumbles. Wow. coconut crumbles. And then this dessert that was a smoked corn pudding made entirely like they used the whole corn. They went through like eight different steps to make Don't worry, we used the whole corn.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Smoked? And then ginger ice and popped sorghum on top. Popped what? Sorghum. I don't know what any of this is, but it sounds good. I'll eat it. I don't know what sorghum is. It's a grain. Okay.
Starting point is 00:49:29 It's a grain. But I guess you can pop it like popcorn. What? It was just like the textures of all of that and the flavors, just like we all kind of sat around. It was like one of those moments where, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:49:42 I've had several eating experiences where we're chatting, chatting, chatting, dead silent. That's when you know it's good. And it was just all kind of like, what is going on? And then there were some deep meals in Japan that and had an omakase kind of meal. Cool. With just like a bunch of little plates coming at you throughout the whole meal. My favorite.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Oh, yeah. It was the best. I love long, like three to four hours little meals. Yeah. Just give you a little bit at a time. A little bit. Yeah. And like some of the raw egg stuff
Starting point is 00:50:26 was like just next level. Just like, well in Japan you can eat raw egg. Totally fine. No, I remember doing that. I would get like a, I would get like a beef bowl
Starting point is 00:50:37 with rice and stuff and they give you an egg. And I would just crack it on top of it and mix it and it was actually so good. I don't know how I feel about that. Well it's because our eggs are shitty.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Yep. Oh. We have shitty eggs. We have shitty eggs. Eggs. We have shitty eggs. Our factory farming means our stuff is this good. Shit eggs.
Starting point is 00:50:56 We have shit eggs over here. I've never been to Japan. It's great. It's really cool. Really cool. I'm trying to think of any other unique foods. So have you been to every continent? I've been to five.
Starting point is 00:51:10 I've yet to go to, what, Antarctica? Like how we both, Amanda and I both at the moment of, yeah. Portland? Georgia? I know how many continents there are. I just learned how many weeks there are in a year. Yeah, 52. Okay. I was asking it more rhetorically of like, can you believe?
Starting point is 00:51:29 It feels like we should have more. Look, we can keep the same amount of months. Let's just add more weeks. He's getting into music, so. I'm also finally listening to music. I'm becoming what some people call a human. A human. He Googled music and he's on his way.

Starting point is 00:52:57 My husband's best friend is from Colombia, and he just brought us back beans. And I've been having it for about the last week. Jealous. So literally, he'll grind for about the last week. Jealous. So, literally he'll grind it up and put it in a jar and I'm like, what's that? I can smell it. It's so delicious. Okay, so you're going to South America. That's your next. So is it just
Starting point is 00:53:17 Colombia that you're going to or anywhere? Yeah, for this. I mean, you know, probably. Probably. There's so many places we want to go but we're like colombia feels like the one we could do in like two weeks as opposed to like i don't know i feel like if i were to go to argentina or chile like i'd want to spend months oh yeah when i went when i went to bolivia i spent three months Wow, that's wild Because it felt like that was the right time
Starting point is 00:53:47 Bolivia was the craziest experience of my life It was very dangerous What was so crazy about it? I worked at an animal refuge Oh, that's cool I remember that story Two truths, one lie I got attacked by an animal
Starting point is 00:54:01 What animal? Tejon It looks like a really fucked up raccoon I got attacked by an animal. What animal? Olivia. Tejon. Kawari in English. It looks like a really fucked up raccoon. It looks like one of the animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy's. With fangs. Anyways, we'll get into that one time.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Maybe when you interrogate me. Oh. Because Olivia was an experience. I was young, and I went with my little sister. Oh, that's... And it was just us. Yeah. And she got so sick that I... And it was just us. Yeah. And she got so sick that I thought she was going to die. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:55:32 Food there is not good. I don't think there's food there. I don't think there's any food. You've got to eat ice. Yeah. I feel like it would just be to cross it off the list. Yeah, for sure. And to see some cool stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:42 Some penguins. I mean, it looks amazing. No, it does. You'd have to have the right gear. Yeah. I wouldn't just go. You'd go in shorts and a t-shirt and be like, I'll buy it there at the shop.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I'll buy a parka when I get there. You have to go on a tour. Yeah. Because I once traveled to the Arctic Circle without planning. Oh, God. What? Yeah, it was stupid. I just drove up there want to see santa yeah no it was in the north of iceland and i showed up and all the hotels were closed and i was like oh okay i okay there are times i need to plan

No, I had a jacket, but it was still. You're crazy, man. I'm crazy. You travel a lot. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:51 So you mentioned Columbia. You mentioned coffee. Yes. And I wanted to take this episode to formally apologize to you. You know well that several years ago, you texted me one day inviting me to your coffee club that you have on the weekends where you and friends, fans
Starting point is 00:57:14 of coffee get together. You make coffee. You talk about coffee. I responded saying, I'm not available that day, which was true. I was very interested in this coffee club. He was so busy. But then there was a Try Not to Laugh episode, and I did an impression of you.
Starting point is 00:57:30 And I made the impression, me inviting someone to that coffee club, just as the bit. I didn't mean it to be mean. I was just saying, like, that's a Garrett thing. I will say, I was the one that then put in the the edit notes to add that text that you so i i sent the text to the editor yeah to so you know yes um but i felt very bad about it uh i i i didn't mean it to be uh to be mean uh-huh um and
Starting point is 00:58:03 i genuinely was interested in the coffee club but i understand if i will never be invited again um yeah i think you're out are you well yeah we are meeting this saturday oh my god put him on the spot to go we're it's it's now become coffee and european football, that's cool. You got him. There's sports. And we have a goal. I want to test out a method of cold-blooming coffee where you do the bloom of the coffee at 122 degrees and the rest of the coffee at 200 or 205 degrees. So we are meeting this Saturday to watch soccer and do
Starting point is 00:58:48 this cold blooming method. I am legitimately out of town. I am not kidding, Garrett. I am out of town. I'm out of town this weekend, but keep

Starting point is 00:59:20 Garrett, is he forgiven? You don't have to, Garrett. You don't have to, Garrett. You don't have to. You know what? No, no. Shane, I forgive you. Oh.
Starting point is 00:59:33 It's not for everybody. Okay. And even if it was, not all of us have the schedule. Okay, wow. You know, the end, like. This feels like a sorry well and you never you you never uh uh like you were legitimately busy that day and in comedy and comedy you know i i uh operate best when i am uh the butt of a joke okay i mean his funeral, I was a barista making fun of coffee club.
Starting point is 01:00:06 So I kind of went really hard. I wasn't even invited. And I was like, fuck this. Thank you, Garrett. You're welcome. So glad that's over. So cringy. That was really hard for me.
Starting point is 01:00:20 That was awful. What am I doing Saturday? You want to watch the show? Oh, yeah, Amanda. Are you interested? What time? Oh, no. This feels like a pity Saturday? Oh, yeah, Amanda. Are you interested? What time? Oh, no. This feels like a pity hang.
Starting point is 01:00:28 Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm going to say I don't know yet. Okay, fair. Because I'm under the spotlight. But you like coffee. I'm obsessed with coffee. And I'm starting to do a pour over right now. Oh, what are you using?
Starting point is 01:00:40 I have these two Japanese reusable filters. They look like little mountains. I forget what they're called. They have like little yellow on them. You can reuse them over time. And to clean them out, you boil them in hot water. They're awesome. Cool.
Starting point is 01:00:55 Yeah. And so we grind our coffee. We do it on 205. What are you grinding with? I don't know. Okay. That's fine. I don't know what it's called.
Starting point is 01:01:04 Burr grinder, at least? Burr? Electric grinder? Yeah, electric grinder. Okay, that's fine. I don't know what it's called. Burr grinder, at least? Burr? Electric grinder? Yeah, electric grinder. Is that burr? Well, we'll talk. Is burr grinder the... Garrett's an expert.
Starting point is 01:01:13 Yeah, I would love to know the grinder. Well, there's burr and blade, and you don't want blade. What's burr? Burr is like, there's a conical burr, and it's like grinding. And blade is very obvious. It's like two blades, and it spins around and does't even grind and burns the coffee as it grinds. Yeah, exactly. You don't fucking know that.
Starting point is 01:01:31 I know. I might not have the right one. If you're listening to this. I mean, ultimately, if you like it, you like it. No, no. If you're listening to this. If you like your shitty stupid coffee, then that's okay. If you're listening to this, there's two grinders.
Starting point is 01:01:46 There's a burr. Uh-huh. And there's blades. And a blade. Yes. Don't get the blade. And I'm going to check today to make sure I don't have the blade. Let us know.
Starting point is 01:01:56 Wow. Yeah. I can't wait to tell my husband and be like, we've been burning our coffee. I know. We forgot to mention The ultimate hero Is Danny Oh yes Completely neglected to mention Danny
Starting point is 01:02:09 Danny is Garrett's dog Yes Incredible dog I love him Only A young dog But But does not look
Starting point is 01:02:19 Old soul Four and a half Young soul Four and a half Old exterior A hundred and five soul Yes The best dog I Look four and a half young soul four and a half a hundred and five souls yes the best dog
Starting point is 01:02:28 I look this might offend some of our our cast members and crew but I I think Danny might be
Starting point is 01:02:35 my favorite Smosh dog and that's that's high no that's high praise because I love all the dogs here at Smosh
Starting point is 01:02:41 take that Winnie every dog is incredible I do they're all so sweet. But Danny was just the most unique dog I've ever seen. I was just like,
Starting point is 01:02:49 Danny, what? And he would get into trash. He would get into trash. He loves trash. He would sing. He'd go, Danny. And he'd go, woo. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:57 He was a singer. He was a trash man. Yeah. And you should see him at the dog park. He books it. Goes wild. Really?
Starting point is 01:03:04 It's great. Yeah. Aw. I feel like Danny's the type that loves park. He books it, goes wild. Really? It's great, yeah. I feel like Danny's the type that loves every other dog. Yes, he does. Just zero hate in that dog's heart. Danny's an angel. He has developed dogs with black and brown markings on them. Interesting. He will go in just wild.
Starting point is 01:03:22 He just gets a little bad. I don't know what's happened in the last six months. That's always fascinating to me because I had a dog growing up that occasionally just some dogs, he was just like, I don't fucking like you. I'm just like, what is it? What is it about that dog? It smells. It breeds. Some breeds, they just do not match.
Starting point is 01:03:42 My dog, it was just sometimes he saw a dog and was just like I don't like you You used to own a dog? I had two dogs growing up Two Australian Shepherds They were Shiloh and Jack One of them just did not like other dogs sometimes That's just how it is That's how it just
Starting point is 01:03:58 It just happens Well I think it's time for us to reveal Yeah So we do our little end segment Sometimes called Smart Mouth It just happens. Okay. Well, I think it's time for us to reveal. Yeah. What? So we do our little end segment, sometimes called Smart Mouth, but we've held back on our least favorite dishes from Eat It or Yeet It. Oh, yes. Yes.
Starting point is 01:04:14 I'm going to guess Shane's, although I don't know how I'm going to guess. If you can just guess what the ingredient, like some aspect of ingredient. Well, you kind of gave me some clues. It was early on. It was before you were in Eat It or Yeet It. Okay, so you have Grape Mouth. So, Sour, which is Malic Acid, and
Starting point is 01:04:31 Bittrex, maybe? Okay. Bittrex. No. And Liquid. You hate Liquid. You hate Liquid. And you don't like the color Green. You don't like the color Green. I'll let you guess, then I'll let Garrett guess. Okay. I don't know, but I'm feeling like it was Liquidy, it was like the color green. You don't like the color green. I'll let you guess, then I'll let Garrett guess. Okay. I don't know, but I'm feeling like it was liquidy.
Starting point is 01:04:49 It was maybe the color green. And there was some nasty, maybe some bitrix in it. And you thought it maybe was like a juice or something. Okay. That's my guess. Okay. Garrett, do you know what it was? The peanut butter, the chocolate peanut butter cups full of fermented fish paste.
Starting point is 01:05:05 Oh, wow. I was very close. You nailed it. You absolutely nailed it. Not a liquid, not green. That is horrible. It was truly horrendous. Props to you because I did not know what I was in for.
Starting point is 01:05:18 They looked like regular Reese's cups. And you guys told me to pop three of them. Don't listen to them, them. Three of them into my mouth and I that was the closest I've been to on camera having a horrible time. Like that was very close. Three, two,
Starting point is 01:05:36 one. Oh God. Oh, hot damn. Always a great response. Confusion. I legitimately just Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Bravo, Garrett. That was your best word. I have one that nothing came close to. Okay. I have a guess. Okay. I think there's a guess. Let's see. Okay. So I don't think it's, you mentioned Bittrex stuff.
Starting point is 01:06:30 I think yours, I'm going to say yours was some sort of meat thing. And I'm trying to remember, it's just so many episodes. I want to say it was like, there was some sort of slimy meat aspect to this. That's, that's, I know it's vague, but that's what I'm thinking. Okay, that's Shane's guess. My guess is the yogurt cup with real tuna on the bottom. Yes. Three, two, one.
Starting point is 01:06:57 If I think about it, I'll throw up. You did it, you did it, you did it, you did it. So it was yogurt with tuna? It was Icelandic blueberry yogurt. Okay. With tuna. Instead of the blueberries. Instead of the blueberries in there.
Starting point is 01:07:10 That doesn't sound so bad. Here's one thing you need to know about me. Okay. I despise tuna. It's the only thing I hate in this entire world. I don't like chicken of the sea tuna. I don't like that shit. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:21 I don't like the canned tuna. The smell of it makes me want to throw up. Tuna salad sandwiches. Here's the thing. I can have raw tuna. Yum, yum, yum. Fine with that. But tuna fish?
Starting point is 01:07:33 Yuck. So you like tuna sushi? Yeah. And it was in yogurt. It was disgusting. It was disgusting. It was like dairy fermented sour with the tuna. That I felt physically ill and then they put out like a uh hey here's eat it or eat it what things do you not want and i was
Starting point is 01:07:52 like tuna never again bugs never again so that was my worst wow there we go i would have i wouldn't have guessed that well i guess that sounds. Yeah. That sounds not that bad. I'm a different kind of gal. Okay. Okay. Okay. Yeah, yours is nasty. Mine's rough.
Starting point is 01:08:11 Both fish. Yeah, both fish. Both fish. Well, Garrett, thank you so much for being on. Thanks for having me. Thanks for being here, man. So how can we find your podcast? Oh, yeah.
