Hello and welcome to Smosh Mouth.
I'm Shane.
And I'm Amanda.
And we have a very special guest here today with us, Garrett Palm.
That's right.
Very special guest.
Very special.
Yeah.
A lot of our guests are just other stupid cast members, but you're cool.
You're special.
What makes me cool?
You tortured us for years.
Yeah, you tortured us for so many years with nasty, nasty foods.
And you were sweet about it, which was also torture.
Thank you.
Garrett, how have you been?
Yeah, pretty good, I guess. Yeah.
Yeah, you know,
it's a slow time
in the industry.
I don't know how many people
listening to this follow Hollywood
you know the trades
the gossip
but yeah there's nothing
it's been that way for a minute I feel like
yeah
so you're feeling like a slow time right now
yeah a lot of people are saying
nothing will be
back to normal until 2025
Garrett you do a lot of stuff, though.
Yes.
Like, you're on improv teams.
You have a podcast of your own.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's about travel.
You travel?
Please.
Garrett is a world traveler.
Yeah, we have, like, a million questions about travel
that we'll get to later.
Okay.
Okay, so you do have a podcast, though.
Yeah, but we released one season of have a podcast, though. Yeah, but it's,
we released one season of it like two years ago,
and I've been working
on the second season
for like a year now.
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
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
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,
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.
I love that idea.
Yeah, it's very fun.
It's exhausting coming up with trips for everybody.
Dream trips?
Dream trips, yeah.

Yeah.
Okay.

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'm just kidding.
I have traveled.
I've been to Japan.
I've been to London, Scotland.

I've been to Toronto.
Oh, I've yet to go to...
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.
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.

Okay, so you guys have traveled a lot more than me.
No.
Listen, I was really lucky.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
I had a blast.
My memory is blurry.
Were you...
You were the chef right away.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Because it was
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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?
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
No.
100%.
No.
I will not do bugs.
100.
Whole tarantula.
No.
And I had to eat it, and he did it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
So it was like
a little
little acidic
and a little like
salty
okay
cool
yeah yeah yeah
and then poop
like
like a
earthy
rotten funk
Selena's just like
I know
no thank you
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.
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
Dude, there's kids out there.
Finally, MeUndies
is unveiling their latest gift to help

lifted. Nine out of ten women

right? It is all that matters.
It's all I care about.
That's what I hear people saying, you know?
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.

MeUndies, comfort from the outside in. 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?
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
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
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.
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?
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,
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
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?
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?
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
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.
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
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.
Airports.
Airports?
Maybe,
yeah,
I think I've been recognized at the airport.
He's gonna yeet it!
Like, get him!
Yeet it,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
How old were you when this happened?
32.
Okay.
Yeah.
Oh, all right.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay.
It was not the best idea.
Yeah, no, actually.
Just kidding.
Yeah.
Just kidding.
Yeah.
Yeah, 2012.
Okay, great.
Oh, the year it was supposed to end.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Well, did he Google how to be a human first?
I don't think he's gotten to that step
What music are you getting into?
I'm currently next up
I slacked a little bit
Next up I'm going to listen to Boy Genius
Oh amazing
Sweeped the Grammys

Really strong.
Colombia coffee is delicious.
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
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
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
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.
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.
It was wild.
Yeah.
But it was gorgeous.
Stunning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I've only...
Central America...
It's Central America, right?
Central America.
No.
Bolivia?
I don't know.
It's South America.
It is?
It's South America?
Yeah.
I was like... Wow, Garrett. Wow. Central America is... Isn't Central America... It's South America. It is? It's South America? Yeah. I was like,
wow,
Garrett.
Wow.
Central America is,
isn't Central America Peru?
It's like Panama.
No,
no,

Peru is also South America.
Yes,
Peru is South America.
Central America is what,
Panama?
Panama,
Honduras,
Mexico,
Guatemala,
Belize,
El Salvador.
Belize.
Belize.
Belize is what I was thinking of
See I'm not good with this
Geography
I was good
It's okay
So Antarctica, South America, what was the third?
Just those two
There are only seven
Shit
52
No you forgot about the other one
Texas Are you going to go to Antarctica? 52. No, you forgot about the other one. Texas.
You forgot about Texas.
Okay.
Are you going to go to Antarctica?
I mean, I want to, but it's like, I don't know.
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.
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.
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
yeah like i eventually there was like one cafe open and they knew a hotel owner who like opened
up a room for me oh like by the end of the night yeah it was like i don't know what i don't know
how i'm gonna do this i don't know what i'm gonna do but um so yeah i would i've learned
uh from my mistakes so bring a jacket oh yeah it's just like T-shirt and short. No, I had a jacket, but it was still.
You're crazy, man.
I'm crazy.
You travel a lot.
Yeah.
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
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.
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
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
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
letting me know and I will show up.
I will show up, I promise.
When I'm not out of town. Just drop him.
I'm out of town.
Drop his ass.
I'm sorry. That sounds
great. I love European football
and also coffee.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Danny is Garrett's dog
Yes
Incredible dog
I love him
Only
A young dog
But
But does not look
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
I
look this might
offend some of our
our cast members
and crew
but I
I think Danny
might be
my favorite
Smosh dog
and that's
that's high
no that's high praise
because I love
all the dogs
here at Smosh
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,
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
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.
Both fish.
Yeah, both fish.
Both fish.
