Garrett Palm’s Journey with Smosh

Shayne: "Welcome, Garrett. It's great to have you here today." [00:34]

Garrett shares his experience within the Smosh team, highlighting the slow period in the industry and his continuous efforts despite the challenges. He mentions working on his own podcast, "Agents of Travel," which focuses on travel adventures and interviews with guests about their journeys.

The Birth and Evolution of "Eat It Or Yeet It"

The conversation shifts to the creation and development of "Eat It Or Yeet It," one of Smosh's most beloved segments.

Shayne: "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." [06:10]

Garrett explains his role as the show's chef, responsible for concocting bizarre and challenging food items without formal training, relying instead on recipes and cooking videos. This improvisational approach led to the unique and often disgusting dishes that became the show's trademark.

Amanda: "Do you always know that some foods were gonna be like, yes, naughty, and some were gonna be nice?"

Garrett: "* Yeah. Cause that was the original pitch.*" [09:47]

Iconic Moments and Fan Favorites

The trio reminisces about standout episodes and unforgettable food creations that left both cast and viewers in stitches.

Literal Mud Pie: Shane recounts his surprising enjoyment of a deceptively disgusting-looking mud pie, which turned out to be a delicious mix of chocolate and graham crackers.

Shayne: "It could have ended there and I'd have been like that to me, was what I wanted out of this show." [30:02]
Malic Acid Catastrophes: Garrett discusses the challenges of infusing dishes with malic acid, leading to extreme reactions from the cast, particularly Olivia, who couldn't handle the sourness.

Garrett: "It was the first, like, full chaos moment on Eat it or Yeet it that I can remember." [22:44]
Yogurt with Tuna: Amanda shares her least favorite dish—yogurt infused with tuna—which physically made her feel ill.

Amanda: "It was dairy fermented sour with the tuna that I felt physically ill." [67:10]

Shayne: "Nothing came close to that." [66:16]

The Creative Process Behind the Gross

Garrett delves into his method for creating repulsive dishes, often wandering through grocery stores for inspiration and experimenting with unusual ingredient combinations to maximize the "gross factor."

Garrett: "I would just kind of wander grocery stores and kind of see things on the shelves." [12:18]

He compares his approach to a mad scientist, mixing flavors and textures to challenge the cast's palates, often leading to memorable disgust and laughter.

Garrett's Travels and Vegetarian Lifestyle

Beyond his contributions to Smosh, Garrett discusses his passion for travel and his vegetarian lifestyle, which sometimes poses challenges during his adventures.

Garrett: "India was so good. When I first got there, there was this one restaurant... they were all so good." [46:08]

He recounts his experiences in places like Timbuktu and Beirut, navigating vegetarian options and the cultural nuances of food in different regions.

Shayne: "You've been to five continents?"

Garrett: "I've been to five. I've yet to go to Antarctica." [51:07]

Apology and Good-Natured Teasing

A humorous segment unfolds as Shayne apologizes for a past impression Garrett made, which inadvertently mocked Garrett's coffee club invitation. The trio engages in playful banter, ultimately reaffirming their camaraderie and mutual respect.

Shayne: "I felt very bad about it. I didn't mean it to be mean." [56:39]

[05:04]
Shane
That's really cool.
[05:05]
Amanda
So, yeah, that's great. Yeah. So I Guess I'm cooler than.
[05:08]
Shane
Well, we'll get into trouble. But what we're here to talk about first is. Eat it or yeet it.
[05:14]
Garrett Palm
Oh, right.
[05:15]
Shane
A fan favorite. One of Smosh's greatest legacies. Darkest legacies, but greatest, darkest.
[05:22]
Amanda
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.
[05:31]
Shane
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. Yeah, I don't know either decision that'd 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.
[05:52]
Garrett Palm
It was very fun.
[05:53]
Amanda
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 Triangle of sadness equals the Bible. What's happening here?
[06:05]
Shane
It was a lot. But I want to take it back to the beginning.
[06:09]
Garrett Palm
Okay.
[06:10]
Shane
Because it started. It started. Yeah. Let's go. Let's go back to Genesis with Phil Collins. Let's go back to 2019.
[06:19]
Garrett Palm
Yes.
[06:19]
Shane
Which is when it started.
[06:21]
Garrett Palm
Was it 2019 or 2018?
[06:23]
Shane
It's 2019.
[06:24]
Garrett Palm
Okay.
[06:24]
Shane
Because it was, like, one of the first. Because. So after the shutdown.
[06:28]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[06:29]
Shane
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.
[06:37]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[06:37]
Shane
We wanted to, like, start fresh with some things we knew we were gonna do. Try not to laugh. But otherwise it was like, what's the other thing? And so I pitched this show, and I. In my head, I called it Face Jam.
[06:48]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[06:48]
Shane
And I pitched it as Face Jam. Cause 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.
[06:56]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[06:57]
Amanda
Which is kind of what you do on Eat it or Eat it a lot.
[06:59]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[07:00]
Shane
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 know. I forget who coined the name.
[07:17]
Garrett Palm
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.
[07:25]
Shane
I think at first we were like.
[07:26]
Amanda
What were the other names? Let's just face chat.
[07:28]
Shane
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 and. And so big still. Or maybe it was already passed by a couple years, and we were like, screw it, but it's a little ironic and stupid. And so we went with that because we're all like, whatever, who cares? Yeah. And we like just being like, eat it or yeet it.
[07:52]
Amanda
It's fun to say. Yeah, but not fun to do.
[07:55]
Shane
I'm trying to remember because my. My memory. My memory is blurry. Were you. You were the chef right away?
[08:02]
Garrett Palm
Yes.
[08:03]
Shane
Okay.
[08:03]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cause 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, but it was basically like nobody knew how to actually execute it. Nobody was like, who will actually make this food?
[08:22]
Shane
Yeah. Because we had zero as a team, no chef knowledge. Which is funny. Cause we're right next to the mythical kitchen.
[08:28]
Garrett Palm
Yes.
[08:29]
Shane
But they were busy doing their stuff.
[08:31]
Garrett Palm
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 cook at home. I cook a lot. And no training or anything, but, you know, I pay attention to recipes and watch videos.
[08:46]
Shane
Sure.
[08:47]
Garrett Palm
I was like, yeah, I can do that. And, 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.
[09:11]
Shane
We were still, like, kind of working out the teams. So I think at that. For a moment there, sketch and pit and got it kind of like blended in the creation process.
[09:22]
Amanda
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.
[09:29]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, one of your. On the unscripted side. Cause you were doing sketch.
[09:33]
Shane
You did sketch for a while.
[09:35]
Amanda
It's good for a long time.
[09:36]
Shane
And then you started doing.
[09:37]
Amanda
And then I started doing that.
[09:39]
Shane
It was probably a little bit.
[09:40]
Amanda
Yeah. So was it always. Did you always know that some foods were gonna be like, yes, naughty, and some were gonna be nice?
[09:48]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[09:48]
Shane
Cause that was the original pitch.
[09:49]
Amanda
That was the original pitch.
[09:50]
Shane
The idea was kinda like, you're making a gamble, you're trying to get away without eating something too nutty, which honestly is brilliant.
[09:57]
Amanda
Yeah, it is really fun. Cause that's what causes like the stress of.
[10:00]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
[10:02]
Amanda
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.
[10:09]
Garrett Palm
Yep.
[10:10]
Amanda
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 coming, but it's not.
[10:19]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, it's. Well, yeah. Cause no good food. By the end of it. No good food was actually good because.
[10:28]
Shane
Of, like, the mindset, the mental. I was so happy when it finally culminated in the episode where I got to cook the foods 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. How early on did. When you did those first couple episodes, were you like, am I in over my head or were you. Were you having fun?
[11:02]
Garrett Palm
I was having fun.
[11:03]
Shane
You're just having a good time.
[11:04]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. Just having a good time because. And I think that's, you know, like that first episode, I was having so much fun just watching people eat my food then and like, knowing what was gonna happen for each dish.
[11:17]
Shane
Yeah.
[11:17]
Garrett Palm
It was just a blast from the start.
[11:19]
Shane
Cause I think your reactions were so funny. We started. We were like, we need a Garrett cam.
[11:25]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[11:25]
Shane
We need to get your reaction.
[11:26]
Amanda
Yeah. When did we get the Garrett cam?
[11:28]
Shane
It was great.
[11:28]
Garrett Palm
Episode two, I think.
[11:29]
Shane
Was it episode two, I think.
[11:30]
Garrett Palm
Cause I think you called it out, if I remember correctly. Just like, you know, like, you were just like. The whole cast would see me because I think I was also like, Aideen.
[11:42]
Shane
Yeah.
[11:42]
Garrett Palm
You know, and so they'd see me kind of like.
[11:45]
Amanda
Yeah, yeah.
[11:46]
Shane
Just looking. I would judge based on your reaction.
[11:51]
Amanda
Oh, me too.
[11:52]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[11:52]
Shane
I'd be like, okay, Garrett looks.
[11:53]
Amanda
The bigger the smile, the worse the food was.
[11:56]
Shane
Yeah. Yeah. You have a very specific face for when it's going to be bad. And you're just like. You're like.
[12:02]
Amanda
You're like a little kid.
[12:03]
Shane
Your eyebrows raise up, you're smiling.
[12:06]
Garrett Palm
It's.
[12:07]
Shane
It's the look of the devil.
[12:08]
Amanda
Uh huh.
[12:08]
Shane
I'm like, fuck.
[12:09]
Amanda
It really is.
[12:10]
Shane
But good stuff.
[12:12]
Amanda
So wait, how did you always come up with new ways to screw with us? New recipes?
[12:19]
Garrett Palm
Yep. I Mean, for a while, I would just kind of wander a grocery store.
[12:26]
Amanda
Really?
[12:27]
Shane
Really?
[12:27]
Garrett Palm
That. That was my process for a long time.
[12:29]
Shane
Just looking for stuff that feels wild or that you think just feel.
[12:33]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, just like. I mean, I already loved grocery stores. Like, I love grocery stores. I love the wander. Like, my partner Rachel, hates going shopping with me because I'll take 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.
[12:53]
Amanda
That's really cool.
[12:54]
Garrett Palm
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?
[13:01]
Amanda
My brain does not think like that. That's really cool.
[13:04]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. It.
[13:05]
Amanda
Or a chemist of food.
[13:07]
Shane
Have you had to get your head out of that space since now you get to go to the grocery store and only think about cooking good stuff.
[13:14]
Garrett Palm
I know. I guess I haven't gone to the grocery store much lately. Since. Since it ended. Yeah. Well, yeah. And I think now. Right now. Yeah. I've been shopping, like, with a objective.
[13:30]
Shane
And then just grabbing.
[13:31]
Amanda
Do you miss it a little bit?
[13:33]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, a little bit. I really enjoyed that. I don't know. Okay, this is a stupid comparison, but did you watch the Bear?
[13:42]
Amanda
Of course, yes.
[13:43]
Garrett Palm
The first several episodes of season two where, like, what's. Sydney's kind of, like, wandering Chicago, eating and, like, staring at stuff like, that's. That was my process. But, like, for bad food, that was.
[13:59]
Amanda
That was actually. I loved the way that they shot that. It felt like, what's that chef. What's that chef show where they go around and.
[14:07]
Garrett Palm
Chef's table.
[14:08]
Amanda
Chef's table. Right, Exactly.
[14:09]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[14:10]
Amanda
It felt like that, like, all the shots of the dishes. I love that whole experience of her walking around. I wish.
[14:17]
Shane
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.
[14:33]
Amanda
That was in the hills and then, like a France.
[14:36]
Shane
A glamour shot of this banana.
[14:37]
Garrett Palm
Yes, yeah. As it rots from the inside. Right, yeah, that one.
[14:42]
Shane
I mean, look, you were. You were cooking it up.
[14:44]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, I was cooking.
[14:45]
Shane
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.
[14:54]
Amanda
Madness.
[14:55]
Shane
Every burner going, 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 don't want to say bad. I just wanna say a smell you've never smelled before. I'm like, what is that?
[15:10]
Garrett Palm
I do have to. You know, I'm not the cleanest cook.
[15:15]
Shane
I'm not either. That's hard.
[15:18]
Amanda
I'm a k. I'm very clean. I do my dishes as things are cooking, and I'm.
[15:23]
Shane
I don't know how you do that.
[15:24]
Garrett Palm
I'm crushing it.
[15:25]
Shane
I don't know. I try to do that. I don't know how you do it.
[15:26]
Garrett Palm
I leave every kitchen a catastrophe. How do you work chaotically?
[15:32]
Amanda
Oh, I get stressed.
[15:34]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. I'm just like, oh, I need to be chopping onions right now. And then, like, drop everything.
[15:40]
Amanda
You're a mad scientist.
[15:41]
Garrett Palm
I mean. Yeah. Maybe you are.
[15:43]
Shane
Yeah. Do you have a dish that you think was your best dish?
[15:49]
Amanda
Yeah. Something you're proud of?
[15:52]
Garrett Palm
Well, it's hard because any dish that I'm proud of, I'm also ashamed of.
[15:59]
Shane
What do you mean?
[16:00]
Amanda
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.
[16:07]
Garrett Palm
Well, the one I always think about is a literal mud piece.
[16:11]
Shane
Yeah.
[16:12]
Amanda
I think I was there for that. Weren't there worms in there?
[16:16]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, it had cockroaches in it. Yeah. Yeah.
[16:20]
Shane
I felt bad. Cause that was, like, Jackie's first episode, right. And she, like, had to walk away. Dude, it was bad. I want to save. I want to save for the end of this show for us to guess each other's least favorite dish.
[16:35]
Amanda
Yeah.
[16:36]
Shane
So we'll save that for the very end. Because I know mine. I've said it many times.
[16:39]
Amanda
I know mine, and I. I know Garrett probably knows mine, too.
[16:43]
Shane
But so Literal Mud Pie was an incredible one, I gotta say. You know, there were some that were so fantastic. Like the Infinity Gauntlet. You had some insane ones that.
[16:54]
Garrett Palm
That was with Rachel.
[16:56]
Shane
Yeah.
[16:56]
Garrett Palm
Rachel Evans. Yeah.
[16:57]
Shane
That was impressive.
[16:58]
Amanda
The Halloween one, too, where I was the nun. And that, like, open glass case with a little shot glass.
[17:05]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[17:05]
Amanda
Get what it was.
[17:07]
Garrett Palm
What was in that shot glass?
[17:08]
Amanda
It was like. I think it was bad.
[17:11]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[17:12]
Shane
Like an oyster shooter.
[17:13]
Amanda
No, it was like, maybe, like, malic acid liquid.
[17:18]
Garrett Palm
That wasn't the malic acid. Bitrex mix.
[17:21]
Amanda
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.
[17:34]
Shane
You know what's crazy?
[17:35]
Amanda
It was awful.
[17:35]
Shane
One of the most fascinating things about Eat it or Eat it is how coincidentally some people ended up getting the same thing all the time. Because you mentioned you got Bittrex a lot.
[17:44]
Amanda
All the time.
[17:45]
Shane
I don't think I ever got Bittrex.
[17:47]
Garrett Palm
Really?
[17:47]
Shane
I don't think I ever got it. I mean, let me know in the comments if I did. It's the worst thing I maybe did. But I got malic acid so often, and it truly was coincidental that I kept landing on the rounds where it showed up to the point that there were times where 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. Cuz you knew. I'm, like, not going to be affected by it. It's like, no, we want someone to get messed up by us.
[18:12]
Amanda
I wish you told me not to take certain things. I was like, yum.
[18:19]
Garrett Palm
Next time if we do a one off, I'll tell you.
[18:22]
Amanda
Really?
[18:22]
Shane
Okay.
[18:23]
Amanda
Yeah.
[18:23]
Shane
Do you have any that you regret? Do you have any dishes that you made? You're like, oh, God, I'm too hard.
[18:29]
Garrett Palm
Or I. Yeah, I love it.
[18:33]
Amanda
They're right there. He doesn't even need to think about it.
[18:36]
Garrett Palm
Well, I mean, that's why. I mean, the literal mud pie. Again, I felt bad for Jackie.
[18:43]
Shane
Right.
[18:44]
Garrett Palm
So, yeah, I regretted that also. I think there was one that did kind of mess up Damian's stomach a little bit with the Bittrex.
[18:55]
Shane
Yeah.
[18:56]
Garrett Palm
And I think maybe that was the mix of Bitrex and malic acid.
[19:00]
Shane
Interesting.
[19:02]
Garrett Palm
And then some of those early days before we capped the hot Chili Peppers. Put a cap to the hot chili Peppers that I tried.
[19:12]
Amanda
I never experienced that.
[19:14]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, you missed the early days.
[19:15]
Shane
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?
[19:26]
Amanda
How do you do that? Cause I feel like I get really worried. I've eaten spice stuff, and I feel like I'm gonna die. And I'm like, there's no one who's gonna be able to help me.
[19:35]
Shane
That's how it feels. My first week, I had to eat a habanero pepper and do karaoke. First week.
[19:42]
Amanda
Why did you have to do karaoke?
[19:44]
Shane
It was a Summer Games video.
[19:45]
Amanda
Oh.
[19:46]
Shane
But 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. Oh, really bad. 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.
[20:11]
Amanda
What can you do to calm it?
[20:13]
Shane
Milk, Milk. Bread.
[20:15]
Garrett Palm
Yogurt.
[20:16]
Shane
Bread, Yogurt. I found yogurt works the best because it coats your mouth. It's thicker. I remember Noah. He was in the same, same, same situation as me that first week, and he decided to try to chug milk, and that resulted in him throwing up so bad.
[20:34]
Amanda
Wait, really?
[20:34]
Shane
Yes, genuinely.
[20:36]
Garrett Palm
It was rough.
[20:38]
Shane
See, that's.
[20:39]
Amanda
I would say the throw up.
[20:41]
Shane
Luckily, since you've. These past couple years, nobody has actually thrown up. Well, I guess Jackie. But on camera, it has not really been as much of a thing, and we've gotten better about it.
[20:53]
Amanda
The throw up is something. I'd rather eat something nasty than be next to someone who's throwing it.
[20:58]
Shane
Oh, for sure. For sure.
[21:00]
Amanda
It's terrible.
[21:00]
Shane
And luckily, on Eat it or Eat it, for the most part, people just spit out their food.
[21:04]
Amanda
They just spit it out.
[21:05]
Shane
That's the idea.
[21:06]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[21:07]
Amanda
So you don't regret Angela's cat food?
[21:10]
Shane
Do you regret that? Do you regret that? Do you want to issue any apologies?
[21:16]
Amanda
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.
[21:38]
Shane
Because it, like, that was the job, man.
[21:40]
Garrett Palm
I know that was what you're doing. Tasked with.
[21:43]
Shane
I also think that cat food moment, I think, is what kind of established. Angela.
[21:49]
Amanda
I agree.
[21:50]
Shane
You know, I feel like everyone has their moment where it's like the fans are kind of like, whoa.
[21:55]
Amanda
Yeah, cool.
[21:56]
Shane
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.
[22:07]
Amanda
Right, here we go. Yeah, you definitely welcome Angela. Yeah. You started her career.
[22:12]
Shane
Garrett made you a star.
[22:13]
Amanda
Angela, you better thank him. Thank him.
[22:19]
Shane
The cat food moment is probably. That could be a top three moment for me. Yeah, 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.
[22:33]
Garrett Palm
That wasn't the first malic acid moment, was it?
[22:35]
Shane
Not the first.
[22:36]
Garrett Palm
No, no, no, no. Oh, the first one is one of my favorites.
[22:39]
Shane
The first. Okay.
[22:40]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[22:41]
Shane
Do you want to tell it from your perspective? Because I would have been terrified if I were you.
[22:45]
Garrett Palm
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.
[23:00]
Amanda
Oh, my God.
[23:03]
Garrett Palm
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 was like, oh, no.
[23:17]
Amanda
Oh.
[23:19]
Garrett Palm
Oh, my God. Oh.
[23:30]
Shane
I, I, I didn't know, cuz. I didn't know it was malic acid. I didn't know what it was. What. And at the time, I didn't. They looked like salted cashews.
[23:39]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[23:39]
Shane
But Olivia starts acting like she's dying. And I mean, truly. I truly, I truly. Oh, Everyone got scared.
[23:46]
Amanda
I'm scared now.
[23:48]
Shane
And after a moment, it. 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. You know, 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.
[24:12]
Garrett Palm
Is that where Keith takes off his shirt?
[24:14]
Shane
I think he might have. It was nuts. It was literal nuts.
[24:18]
Amanda
And then he's like, I'm gonna take off.
[24:19]
Shane
And I remember, I remember it getting offered to me. And thankfully I go, no, I am not touching that shit.
[24:25]
Amanda
Obviously not.
[24:26]
Shane
That was the first time malic acid happened. You explained it and it was like, holy shit. So then we have an episode. A couple episodes later, I get served a burger, and I take a huge bite of it.
[24:37]
Amanda
Ew.
[24:37]
Shane
And I'm eating it and I'm like, something tastes off about it. But I'm like, it's a burger. It's fine. And you look flabbergasted.
[24:44]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[24:45]
Amanda
Oh, my God. I swear to God.
[24:48]
Garrett Palm
Is it good?
[24:49]
Ryan Seacrest
Don't keep going from the edges.
[24:50]
Shane
Really get in there. It was good at first, and so. It's so good. 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. 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. Cause I'm like, it's still gross. And I'll lean it down. I'm not trying to hold it in. I'm gonna 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. Yeah. I went on one of his shows once, and he made me eat an entire tarantula.
[25:38]
Amanda
No.
[25:39]
Shane
No. 100%.
[25:41]
Amanda
No. I will not do bugs.
[25:42]
Shane
100 whole tarantula. And I had to eat it. And he did it. He did it. No reaction from Trevor or from Josh. Josh is fine. 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.
[25:59]
Amanda
We just keep rolling until you vomit.
[26:02]
Shane
Oh, did you take a bite? You took a bite of the. No, that is just straight up, like, in warheads. Like, biting into a warhead. Dude, why is your mouth experience? I can't even. Oh, my God.
[26:15]
Amanda
What's wrong with you? You.
[26:16]
Garrett Palm
Same type is wrong with you.
[26:18]
Shane
Same type of reaction as Olivia where he's like, this is the worst thing ever.
[26:21]
Amanda
What is wrong with you?
[26:22]
Shane
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.
[26:36]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[26:36]
Amanda
Are you okay?
[26:38]
Shane
I think so.
[26:39]
Amanda
Are you sick?
[26:39]
Shane
I loved. So I think the honest explanation is I loved sour candy as a kid, and I was popping warheads like they were Skittles.
[26:48]
Amanda
I did love sour candy, too. I loved warheads. The blue ones. The blue ones were the worst.
[26:53]
Shane
Yeah. Oh, man. I love.
[26:54]
Amanda
But still malic acid. Absolutely not, man.
[26:57]
Shane
Well, it's super intense, but I don't know.
[26:59]
Garrett Palm
It does another grave mouth chance, right?
[27:02]
Shane
Yeah. What was chances?
[27:03]
Garrett Palm
I think. No, I think malic acid.
[27:04]
Shane
Oh, malic acid.
[27:05]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[27:05]
Shane
Some people just can handle sour stuff, but everyone's different. Because Damien could handle salty things really well. And I always remembered that. That Damian would get certain dishes that were intended to be bad, and he would be like, this is good.
[27:17]
Amanda
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?
[27:25]
Garrett Palm
I mean. Well, it was just. Cause it was just grave mouth. Formalic acid. So you still. Yeah, so, you know, I still found plenty of other ways to get to shame.
[27:37]
Amanda
Oh, yeah. Like, what was the biggest one?
[27:38]
Shane
Oh, I mean, I'm not.
[27:39]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[27:40]
Shane
I'm not gonna tell you.
[27:42]
Garrett Palm
Cause.
[27:42]
Shane
And you. You know.
[27:44]
Amanda
Yeah. No, no, no, no.
[27:46]
Shane
It was. It truly got me.
[27:49]
Garrett Palm
It's all a blur.
[27:50]
Shane
But there's. 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.
[27:56]
Garrett Palm
Yes.
[27:57]
Shane
It's like you kind of.
[27:58]
Garrett Palm
I was. I was trying to find more, like, funk. Like a bad funk. Like, rotten. Like, you know, like, I was trying. I was. I was doing well. It got harder and harder to do the research, but, like, you know, I think there was one time. I think there was, like, a. One. One thing I was proud of, but it never got the reaction, and it never, Like, I don't think I quite hit it. I think I did a plate of poop and pee.
[28:32]
Amanda
What?
[28:34]
Shane
So I eventually got him. I just shit on a plate and handed it to him.
[28:39]
Amanda
Wow, you really ran out of ideas.
[28:41]
Shane
There was a meme. There was a meme. And who memed it of. Of eat it or eat it. Literal shit.
[28:45]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. And it's so funny.
[28:46]
Shane
Wait, but it was.
[28:47]
Garrett Palm
It was. 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 that. You had to figure out what poop.
[28:58]
Shane
And pee tastes like.
[28:59]
Garrett Palm
Like, and then trying to mat. You find things that kind of make that. I think the. The pea kind of people didn't like it, and it kind of hit that.
[29:08]
Amanda
It was like, oh, way.
[29:09]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. And I put it in a little, like, pee cup.
[29:12]
Amanda
Pee cup?
[29:12]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[29:13]
Amanda
You're sick.
[29:14]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[29:15]
Amanda
I want to see your search history over the.
[29:17]
Garrett Palm
No, no.
[29:18]
Amanda
Pee make people sick.
[29:20]
Shane
I'm very glad that I have no idea what that stuff tastes like. Wait, I'm trying to. I'm sitting here.
[29:25]
Amanda
I'm like, you've never drank pee or poop?
[29:27]
Shane
What the fuck, Amanda?
[29:28]
Amanda
Every year, I do it just.
[29:31]
Garrett Palm
The reset.
[29:32]
Shane
Get out.
[29:34]
Garrett Palm
Everything tastes better from there.
[29:36]
Amanda
I haven't. But don't you hear that survival guy that people if you.
[29:39]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, Bear Grylls.
[29:40]
Shane
I've seen Bear Grylls drink his own pee.
[29:42]
Amanda
All right.
[29:42]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[29:43]
Amanda
Okay, so what. So the poo and the pee, what was the closest flavor profiles?
[29:48]
Garrett Palm
Well, so like, pee. I was trying to get the. I was trying to remember, like, kind of like that uric acid.
[29:54]
Shane
Okay.
[29:55]
Garrett Palm
So it was like a little. Little acidic and a little, like salty.
[30:00]
Amanda
Okay, cool.
[30:02]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then poop. Like a Earthy Rotten Funk Selena's just.
[30:11]
Shane
Like, no, thank you. This reminds me, though, one of probably my personal favorite moment on Eat it or Yeet. It was early on, and I get a dish comes up and it's a plate of shit. It's a. Literally, it looks like a dog turd. And I immediately hit the bell. Cause I'm just like, there's no way. This is what it looks like. There's no way. But everyone else was like, oh, God, Shane, good luck. I take a spoon, I dig into 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. And I was so happy. Cause 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.
[31:07]
Amanda
Would you say then that Shane is like the biggest champ of Eat it or eat it? Cause I feel like Shane, I think.
[31:12]
Garrett Palm
It was on the most episodes.
[31:13]
Shane
I was on the most episodes. I don't know if I'm the biggest champion, though.
[31:16]
Garrett Palm
Define champ.
[31:17]
Shane
Like who I think who tolerated the most?
[31:19]
Amanda
Who tolerated the most? Because I. I feel like you've tolerated a lot.
[31:24]
Shane
Yeah, I feel like Damien, Damian, okay. There's different types of different. Who can handle the most? Damian. Yeah, it became known, like 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. He'll be interested in something different. If something is gross to him. It's not gross. It's. 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. Damian's not gonna. You're not gonna get it because he just isn't affected. But some people who. I think. I think Olivia.
[32:02]
Amanda
Olivia, man, she always ended up with.
[32:04]
Shane
The big bite, man.
[32:05]
Amanda
And she was always like, it's good. She's.
[32:07]
Garrett Palm
She was like.
[32:08]
Amanda
Surprised me.
[32:09]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[32:09]
Shane
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 is before eat it or yeet it, But I remember finding out, like, the first time I had natto, and I couldn't do it. The texture and everything, I was like, my natto, it's like beans, fermented soybeans. And for a lot of people, they love it.
[32:31]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, I really like it.
[32:32]
Shane
But for me, I was like, my palate just isn't suited for this. And so it just is. So I wanna 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.
[32:48]
Garrett Palm
And the one thing Olivia refused to eat, she paid Keith to eat it.
[32:55]
Amanda
How much?
[32:56]
Garrett Palm
Like $5. It was just a donut and a cup of water.
[33:01]
Shane
Funny.
[33:01]
Amanda
Ew.
[33:02]
Shane
I know.
[33:03]
Amanda
That's the thing.
[33:04]
Shane
Well, there's also texture, people.
[33:05]
Garrett Palm
Texture. Yeah.
[33:06]
Amanda
I'm a texture person big time.
[33:09]
Shane
Some textures can be rough, but I would say overall, like, the clear episode.
[33:14]
Amanda
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.
[33:25]
Shane

[34:51]
Shane
Back to the show.
[34:52]
Amanda
Here we go.
[34:53]
Shane
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.
[35:01]
Amanda
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, bleh, 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. Cause it'll go down quicker. Where is this?
[35:21]
Shane
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.
[35:28]
Ryan Seacrest

[35:53]
Shane
No purchase necessary vgw group void where prohibited by law 21 + terms and conditions apply. You can kind of spit it out easily. Is there more of like a. There's less commitment with a solid, strangely. Whereas a liquid, you. You drink it. It's in there. Yeah, there's not much you can do. Yeah, the liquids are, I think the. The ceiling for how gross a liquid can be far more than a solid.
[36:16]
Amanda
I agree. But for some reason I. I can, I can do a liquid. Maybe it's all the years of taking horrible shots in college. It was disgusting shots in college where it was like, you guys want to do. What's the. What's the peppermint one.
[36:29]
Shane
The peppermint schnapps.
[36:30]
Amanda
No, the Rumple. Rumpel Mints.
[36:32]
Shane
What?
[36:32]
Amanda
Do you guys remember Rumpel Mints?
[36:34]
Garrett Palm
No, I didn't. I didn't.
[36:35]
Amanda
I'm born in town.
[36:36]
Shane
I'm not. We weren't in Boston.
[36:38]
Amanda
Little men. Little men called Rumpel Mints. Rumpel Mints is nasty city. But we would take it.
[36:44]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, that sounds awful.
[36:45]
Amanda
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 Eat It. You were the host of Eat or Eat It. Do you ever get recognized on the street?
[37:00]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[37:01]
Shane
Really?
[37:01]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, a lot. Wow.
[37:03]
Amanda
Talk to me. What do they say? Do they say garrett from Eat it or Eat it?
[37:07]
Shane
People yell eat it or eat it at you?
[37:09]
Garrett Palm
Nobody yells eat it or yeet it at me. Okay. But, yeah, they. Yeah, I've gotten all sorts of reactions. It was hard at first, but it was hard. Well, for me, I don't know, like, to be recognized. That was uncomfortable. It was anxiety inducing, and, like, a few times. Cause it's. I mean, I don't know. Like, there was somebody who once 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? And I'm like, yeah, no, I'm not.
[37:47]
Amanda
It's.
[37:47]
Shane
It is a weird thing because when we get recognized by people who, like, love Smosh, it's so cool.
[37:52]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[37:53]
Shane
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.
[38:08]
Amanda
You guys are special.
[38:09]
Garrett Palm
Thank you. I will say, lately it's been very good. Like, a lot of the people that recognize me are very nice about it, and they're, like, very, like, hey, I don't mean to bother you. Just really love your show. Sweet. Nice to meet you. And then they.
[38:28]
Shane
That's perfect.
[38:29]
Amanda
Yeah, that's perfect.
[38:30]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, it's very, like, you know, sweet. You know, sometimes a photo, but, like. Yeah, it's like, that's the great. That's a great way to do it.
[38:38]
Shane
Yeah. 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.
[38:47]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[38:48]
Shane
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. So, you know, because when people are like, I'm a fan of you, it's like, I don't know. I'm like, I'm not that cool. Like, you know, but stop.
[39:13]
Amanda
You guys are cool. My book.
[39:17]
Shane
Okay, okay.
[39:18]
Amanda
So you also love to travel.
[39:22]
Garrett Palm
Yes.
[39:22]
Amanda
Right. You probably don't get recognized when you travel.
[39:25]
Garrett Palm
Maybe you do in America. I do airports. Airports, maybe. Yeah. I think I've been recognized at the airport.
[39:37]
Shane
He's gonna yeet it. Like, get him yeet it or yeet.
[39:42]
Garrett Palm
It to tackle the detectives.
[39:44]
Shane
The detectives are talking to you, and they're like, okay, so what was he talking about there? What are you gonna yeet? You never got recognized in other countries?
[39:54]
Garrett Palm
Well, yeah, not really. Well. Cause, like, I guess since I've been doing eat it or yeeted, I haven't done any crazy travel too much. Like, I'm trying to think in, like, Japan or Europe. Ethiopia? No. Nobody. You know.
[40:08]
Amanda
Where's the last place that you went?
[40:10]
Garrett Palm
Japan. Not this last Christmas, but the Christmas before. I'm trying to remember. Did I get recognized there? It's possible. I don't remember now.
[40:23]
Amanda
Would you say that. Would you say that Japan is, like, the craziest place you've ever traveled to? Where is it?
[40:30]
Shane
What's the. Yeah. What's the most fascinating place you've ever been? Were you, like, a place you've been that most people haven't?
[40:36]
Garrett Palm
I would say a couple of. A few places. Okay.
[40:41]
Amanda
Oh, okay.
[40:42]
Garrett Palm
Timbuktu. I was working a music festival in Timbuktu, and I really. It was like, this musician I loved, like, his festival, even though he had passed Ale Farcature and, like, Tinari when played, like, a bunch of, like, Malian, Saharan kind of bands.
[40:59]
Amanda
Wow.
[40:59]
Garrett Palm
But so I had always wanted to go to this festival. Thankfully, I did because, like, the day after I left Timbuktu, Al Qaeda invaded. And, like, the festival is no more.
[41:11]
Shane
But just casually dropping, like. Yeah. So I got out before, you know, got real bad.
[41:16]
Amanda
Shane and I are, like, Italy, Spain, Florida.
[41:20]
Shane
I want to go back to Toronto. I mean, how old were you when this happened?
[41:27]
Garrett Palm
32.
[41:28]
Shane
Okay.
[41:28]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[41:28]
Shane
Oh. Oh, all right.
[41:29]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[41:30]
Amanda
Okay.
[41:31]
Garrett Palm
It was not the best idea. It wasn't yeah. No, actually, it was.
[41:35]
Amanda
Just kidding.
[41:36]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[41:36]
Amanda
Just kidding.
[41:38]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. Yeah. 2012.
[41:40]
Amanda
Okay, great.
[41:41]
Shane
Oh, the year it was supposed to end the world.
[41:45]
Amanda
Is that Y2K?
[41:46]
Shane
No, no. Y2K was 2000.
[41:48]
Amanda
Don't start with me.
[41:49]
Garrett Palm
This was the.
[41:49]
Shane
You don't know your apocalypses.
[41:50]
Garrett Palm
That Mayanquin.
[41:51]
Amanda
I don't. I don't like apocalypses.
[41:53]
Shane
Well, it didn't. Well, good news. It didn't happen.
[41:55]
Amanda
It didn't.
[41:56]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[41:57]
Shane
2012 was uneventful.
[41:59]
Garrett Palm
The Mayans just didn't finish their calendar.
[42:02]
Shane
They were just like, we're not going to get. Yeah, we're not going to get that far.
[42:05]
Amanda
Okay.
[42:05]
Shane
So, like, nothing interesting is going to happen after 2012. All right.
[42:10]
Garrett Palm
And then the one that I think is accessible, maybe not right now. Give it a second. But Beirut. I love Beirut. I spent three months there, Traveled all around Lebanon. Yeah, I. I love Beirut, Lebanon.
[42:27]
Shane
Yeah.
[42:28]
Amanda
So cool.
[42:28]
Garrett Palm
Really cool.
[42:29]
Shane
Food's incredible.
[42:30]
Garrett Palm
Food is incredible. And as a vegetarian, it was so much easier to eat in Beirut than compared to, like, Timbuktu.
[42:38]
Shane
Interesting. I. That's something I don't know of, like, 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, like, impossible.
[42:48]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[42:49]
Shane
Specifically, like. Like, the American South. I feel like it's probably hard.
[42:53]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. Yeah. And that was. Yeah. There we shot that day jobs, peanut farmers in Georgia in the middle of nowhere. And there were days I was just like, okay, my lunch today is, like, a couple fried vegetables and a piece of white bread. Like, this is all we could get you.
[43:13]
Amanda
Okay. So Timbuktu was also hard for.
[43:15]
Garrett Palm
Timbuktu was hard because in Bamako, I could find some veggie foods I could. I could eat. You know, I'd eat eggs and on baguettes, you know, mostly Timbuktu, they'd give me this really greasy cabbage over couscous that was full of sand because it was in the Sahara. So, like, sand is in everything.
[43:36]
Amanda
But wow.
[43:37]
Garrett Palm
That was all that. I mean, and there are times I do eat meat. Like, I was, you know, went with a friend to a village in Mali, and they gave me a bowl of their prized chicken livers. And, you know, I'm not going to say no to that.
[43:51]
Shane
Right.
[43:52]
Amanda
Wow.
[43:52]
Garrett Palm
I ate that. And then in the Balkans, you know, like, there was nothing except for, like, sausages. So I would eat a lot of sausages.
[44:03]
Amanda
Okay, so in times of need, you would eat meat?
[44:07]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I prefer not to. And let we'll just say the. The hostel in the Balkans was not a friendly place for the other people staying there at night. It gives you back gas. If you. If you have eaten meat in a long time, you don't have the enzymes to digest it.
[44:28]
Shane
I've heard about that.
[44:29]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[44:29]
Shane
I remember the first time someone talking about, like, eating red meat when you don't.
[44:33]
Amanda
When you don't.
[44:33]
Shane
It's devastating.
[44:34]
Garrett Palm
It is rough because.
[44:36]
Shane
Yeah. Your body kind of adapts.
[44:37]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[44:38]
Amanda
It's rough for you and everyone else around you. Yes.
[44:40]
Shane
Yeah. Yeah. Stinky.
[44:43]
Garrett Palm
Stinky.
[44:44]
Amanda
So you weren't. People weren't a fan of you.
[44:47]
Shane
How long have you been vegetarian?
[44:53]
Garrett Palm
32 years.
[44:54]
Shane
I respect it, man.
[44:55]
Amanda
2012.
[44:56]
Shane
I respect everyone who's vegetarian or vegan. I tell myself, I'm like, okay, someday I want to do that, because I do think it's right, but it's tough, man.
[45:06]
Garrett Palm
I mean, I. You know, I know. I think it's not for everybody. I think it's, like, you know, definitely, you know, I think everybody should cut back on their meat.
[45:17]
Amanda
I think so.
[45:17]
Garrett Palm
But I don't think everybody.
[45:18]
Shane
Yeah. 100.
[45:19]
Amanda
I struggle. I feel like I would struggle giving up fish.
[45:23]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[45:24]
Amanda
Like, I grew up on so much fish that I would struggle with that.
[45:28]
Shane
I have cut back. I don't eat red meat hardly, like, ever, I feel like.
[45:34]
Garrett Palm
But I think in America, like, so many people eat red meat. Too much red meat, but the rest of the world like as much red meat as we do.
[45:44]
Shane
Yeah, I think it's so.
[45:46]
Amanda
So is there a great place other than Beirut for vegetarian food?
[45:52]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. So, like, Beirut, while not, like, you know, they don't necessarily understand vegetarianism. There's so many good veggie options.
[46:01]
Amanda
Amazing.
[46:02]
Garrett Palm
India, of course. India. Oh, in. I ate so well. Oh, India was so good.
[46:10]
Amanda
You also like spice, too?
[46:12]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[46:13]
Amanda
Okay.
[46:13]
Garrett Palm
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 they were all so. It was all so good. So every time I went, I was eating three meals each time. Oh, my God. Because it was so good. And I couldn't. I couldn't decide, so I just. Would get it all and just stuff myself.
[46:46]
Shane
That's incredible. Do you have a place where you're like, that Was my favorite food ever. Like, on your trip, you're just like, this is heaven.
[46:54]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. There was. 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 veggies around it and pita and mint leaves, and it was so good.
[47:15]
Shane
You mentioned Ethiopia earlier. I've never had Ethiopian food, but whenever I see it, it's great. I'm like, how do you go about eating this? Because it's, like, all on that one.
[47:25]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[47:25]
Shane
Like, injera with your hand. Yeah, yeah.
[47:28]
Amanda
It's so good. Like, spongy.
[47:30]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[47:31]
Amanda
I love Ethiopian food. Where I went to college, there was a bunch of Ethiopian food. Western Massachusetts.
[47:37]
Garrett Palm
Oh, really?
[47:38]
Amanda
So much Ethiopian food.
[47:39]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, yeah.
[47:40]
Amanda
It was. It was amazing. We had a lot of good restaurants in western Massachusetts, which sounds like we wouldn't.
[47:46]
Garrett Palm
I know.
[47:46]
Amanda
Weirdly did.
[47:47]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. I think of, like, the Berkshires and, like, there's nothing else.
[47:50]
Amanda
It was so good.
[47:51]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[47:52]
Amanda
So what's the most unique food that you've tried that you're like, whoa, yeah.
[47:57]
Shane
Something that you think nobody else has had?
[47:59]
Garrett Palm
Nobody else has had, or just most people.
[48:01]
Shane
Most people. Like, if you're like, I ate this.
[48:03]
Garrett Palm
Thing, I mean, well, okay, this may not be totally answering the question, but.
[48:09]
Amanda
You won't get in trouble.
[48:10]
Garrett Palm
There was, like, a restaurant I went to last year where there were two dishes. I was like, I've never experienced this before. And it was this restaurant con in Portland. It just got James Beard. Best new restaurant, Portland, Oregon. Yeah. Best, Newest.
[48:26]
Shane
After all these countries are like, well, in Portland.
[48:28]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, I know, I know, I know.
[48:30]
Amanda
I wasn't expecting that.
[48:31]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, I know. It's this chef I really love. Gregory. Chef Gregory, who's been on Top Chef a few times. Oh, last name?
[48:39]
Amanda
Love it.
[48:40]
Shane
Gort. He's like, Beyonce.
[48:42]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. Chef Gregory. It's a Haitian restaurant. 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. And then this dessert that was a smoked corn pudding made entirely, like. They used the whole corn. It went through, like, eight different steps to make.
[49:14]
Shane
Don't worry.
[49:14]
Garrett Palm
We used the whole corn.
[49:16]
Shane
What?
[49:18]
Amanda
Smoke.
[49:18]
Garrett Palm
And then ginger ice and popped sorghum on top.
[49:22]
Amanda
Pop what?
[49:23]
Garrett Palm
Sorghum.
[49:24]
Shane
I don't know what any of this is, but it sounds good.
[49:26]
Amanda
I don't know what sorghum is.
[49:27]
Garrett Palm
It was. It's a grain.
[49:29]
Amanda
Okay.
[49:29]
Garrett Palm
It's a grain. But I guess you can pop it like popcorn. And it was just like the textures of all of that and the flavors just like we all kind of sat around like, you know, it was like one of those moments where. I don't know. I've had several eating experiences where like we're chatting, chatting, chatting, dead silent.
[49:49]
Shane
That's when you know it's good.
[49:50]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. And it was just all kind of like, what is going on? And then there were some deep meals in Japan that I had that were like kind of that next level. There was. Oh, what was it? I. We went to a. The old school ryokan and had a omekase kind of meal.
[50:12]
Shane
Cool.
[50:13]
Garrett Palm
With just like bunch of little plates coming at you, like throughout the whole day.
[50:17]
Amanda
My favorite.
[50:17]
Shane
Oh, yeah.
[50:18]
Amanda
I love long, like three to four hours little meals.
[50:22]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[50:23]
Shane
Just a little bit at a time.
[50:24]
Amanda
Little bit.
[50:24]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. And like some of the raw egg stuff was like, just next level. Just like. Well, in Japan you can eat raw eggs totally fine.
[50:34]
Shane
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.
[50:42]
Amanda
So how I feel about that?
[50:44]
Shane
Well, it's because our eggs are shitty.
[50:47]
Garrett Palm
Yep.
[50:47]
Shane
Oh, we have shitty eggs.
[50:49]
Garrett Palm
We have shitty eggs.
[50:50]
Shane
It's because of our farm.
[50:51]
Amanda
Shitty eggs.
[50:52]
Shane
Our factory. Factory farming memes is good.
[50:55]
Amanda
Shit eggs.
[50:56]
Shane
We have shit eggs over here.
[50:58]
Amanda
I've never been to Japan, so it's great.
[51:00]
Garrett Palm
It's really cool.
[51:01]
Shane
Really cool.
[51:03]
Garrett Palm
I'm trying to think of any other unique foods are there.
[51:06]
Shane
So have you been to every continent?
[51:08]
Garrett Palm
I've been to five. I've yet to go to Antarctica.
[51:12]
Shane
Like how we both. I'm like Amanda and I both at the moment of. Yeah.
[51:15]
Amanda
Portland, Georgia.
[51:18]
Shane
I know how many continents there are. I just learned how many weeks there are in a year.
[51:22]
Amanda
Yeah, 52.
[51:24]
Shane
Okay. I. I was asking it more rhetorically. Listen of like, can you believe it Feels like we should have more. I. Look, we can keep the same amount of months. Let's just add more weeks.
[51:34]
Amanda
He's getting into music, so things are changing.
[51:37]
Shane
Finally listening to music. I'm becoming what they. Some people call a human.
[51:40]
Amanda
A human. He googled music and he's on his way.
[51:42]
Shane
Yeah.
[51:43]
Garrett Palm
Well, did he google how to be a human first and then.
[51:45]
Amanda
I don't think he's gotten to that step. Yeah, that's next.
[51:48]
Garrett Palm
What music are you getting into?
[51:51]
Shane
I. I'm currently next up because I have. I Haven't I slacked a little bit? Next up, I'm gonna listen to Boy Genius.
[51:59]
Amanda
Oh, amazing. I mean, sweep to the Grammys.
[52:02]
Shane
Yeah.
[52:02]
Amanda
Phoebe Bridgers.
[52:03]
Shane
Yeah. I'm just like, all right, that's next.
[52:06]
Amanda
If someone actually posted a picture of Boy Genius and said, look, it's Amanda, Angela, and Courtney. Have you seen it?
[52:14]
Shane
Frick.
[52:15]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[52:15]
Amanda
And I'll show you a picture when we're done. You're gonna be like, oh, my God. Kinda.
[52:21]
Shane
Yeah, kinda. There's. Yeah. But anyways. So anyways, I'm listening to music and I'm learning about time.
[52:27]
Amanda
He's listening to music. And you've been to five continents.
[52:30]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[52:31]
Shane
So you've been to five continents?
[52:31]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. I need to go to Antarctica and South America.
[52:36]
Shane
Never been to South America.
[52:37]
Garrett Palm
No. South America, that's where I've.
[52:38]
Amanda
I've been quite a bit.
[52:40]
Garrett Palm
I really. That's. It's our next trip. We're planning to go to Colombia at some point.
[52:45]
Shane
Cool. Oh, you'll love that because you love coffee.
[52:48]
Garrett Palm
Yes.
[52:49]
Shane
Yeah.
[52:50]
Garrett Palm
Can't wait to drink. I mean, Colombia's coffees are really doing well right now.
[52:55]
Amanda
Yeah.
[52:55]
Garrett Palm
Really strong.
[52:56]
Amanda
Columbia coffee is delicious. My.
[52:58]
Garrett Palm
My geishas.
[52:59]
Amanda
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, like, week.
[53:05]
Shane
Jealous.
[53:06]
Amanda
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?
[53:20]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. For this. I mean, you know, probably. Probably like, we. We. 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.
[53:40]
Amanda
Oh, yeah. When I went to Bolivia, I spent three months.
[53:45]
Garrett Palm
Wow.
[53:45]
Amanda
That's wild, because it felt like that was the right time. Bolivia was the craziest experience of my life. Yeah, it was very dangerous, but.
[53:51]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. What was so crazy about it?
[53:53]
Amanda
Well, it's just. I worked at an animal refuge.
[53:55]
Garrett Palm
Oh, that's cool.
[53:56]
Amanda
Yeah.
[53:56]
Shane
And it was a story from two truths, one lie.
[53:59]
Amanda
Yeah.
[54:00]
Shane
Yeah.
[54:00]
Amanda
I got attacked by an animal.
[54:02]
Garrett Palm
What animal?
[54:03]
Amanda
Olivia Tejon Coati. In English. It looks like a really fucked up raccoon.
[54:11]
Shane
It looks like one of the animatronics from five Nights at Freddy's.
[54:14]
Amanda
Anyways, we'll get into that one time and that maybe. Maybe when you interrogate me.
[54:18]
Garrett Palm
Oh.
[54:19]
Amanda
Bolivia was a experience. I was. I was young, and I went with my little sister.
[54:23]
Garrett Palm
Oh, that's.
[54:23]
Amanda
And it was just us.
[54:25]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[54:25]
Amanda
And she got so sick that I thought she was gonna die.
[54:28]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[54:29]
Amanda
It was wild.
[54:30]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[54:30]
Amanda
But it was gorgeous. Stunning.
[54:32]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. Yeah. I've only. Central America. It's Central America, right?
[54:37]
Amanda
Central America. No.
[54:39]
Garrett Palm
Bolivia. Isn't it?
[54:40]
Shane
I. I don't know.
[54:41]
Amanda
It's South America.
[54:42]
Garrett Palm
It is. It's South America.
[54:43]
Amanda
Yeah.
[54:44]
Shane
I was like, wow, Garrett, Wow.
[54:47]
Amanda
Central America is. Isn't Central America.
[54:49]
Shane
It's like Panama.
[54:50]
Amanda
No, no, no, no, no. Peru is also South America.
[54:52]
Garrett Palm
Yes, Peru. South America.
[54:54]
Amanda
Central America is what? Panama?
[54:55]
Shane
Panama.
[54:58]
Garrett Palm
Mexico.
[54:59]
Amanda

[54:59]
Shane
Yeah.
[55:00]
Garrett Palm
Guatemala.
[55:02]
Amanda
Belize.
[55:03]
Garrett Palm
El Salvador.
[55:03]
Amanda
Belize.
[55:04]
Garrett Palm
Belize. Belize is what I was thinking of. Belizes is what I was thinking.
[55:07]
Shane
See, I'm not good with this geography. I'm not.
[55:11]
Garrett Palm
Well, I was good. I was good.
[55:13]
Amanda
It's. Okay.
[55:14]
Shane
So Antarctica, South America. What was the third?
[55:17]
Garrett Palm
Just those two. Oh.
[55:17]
Shane
Just.
[55:18]
Garrett Palm
There are only seven.
[55:19]
Shane
Shit. God dang it. No, you forgot about the other one.
[55:25]
Amanda
Texas.
[55:26]
Shane
You forgot about Texas.
[55:27]
Garrett Palm
Okay.
[55:28]
Shane
Are you going to go to Antarctica?
[55:29]
Garrett Palm
I mean, I want to, but it's. It's like. It's. I don't know, food.
[55:33]
Shane
There is not.
[55:33]
Amanda
I don't think there's food there.
[55:35]
Shane
I don't think there's any food.
[55:36]
Garrett Palm
There isn't. Yeah. I feel like it would just be. To cross it off the list.
[55:40]
Shane
Yeah.
[55:40]
Garrett Palm
And to see.
[55:41]
Shane
Sure.
[55:41]
Garrett Palm
Some cool stuff.
[55:42]
Shane
Some penguins.
[55:43]
Amanda
I mean, it looks amazing.
[55:44]
Garrett Palm
No, it's.
[55:45]
Amanda
You have to have, like, the right gear.
[55:47]
Shane
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[55:48]
Garrett Palm
But I wouldn't just go. Although I.
[55:51]
Amanda
Shorts and a T shirt. Like, I'll buy it there.
[55:53]
Garrett Palm
All right.
[55:53]
Shane
Shop park when I get there.
[55:57]
Garrett Palm
Like, you have to go on. On a tour.
[55:58]
Amanda
Yeah. Ye.
[55:59]
Garrett Palm
Because I once, like, traveled to, like, the Arctic Circle without planning.
[56:04]
Shane
Oh, God.
[56:05]
Garrett Palm
And. Yeah. It was stupid.
[56:07]
Shane
I just drove up there. Wanted to see Santa.
[56:10]
Amanda
Yeah.
[56:10]
Garrett Palm
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.
[56:20]
Amanda
Yeah.
[56:21]
Garrett Palm
Like, I. Eventually, there was, like, one cafe open, and they knew a hotel owner who, like, opened up a room for me, like, by the end of the night.
[56:29]
Amanda
Scary.
[56:29]
Garrett Palm
Yeah. It was like, I don't know what. I don't know how I'm going to do this. I don't know what I'm going to do. But. So, yeah, I would. I'VE learned from my mistakes.
[56:39]
Amanda
So bring a jacket.
[56:42]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, it's just like T shirt and short, you know? No, I had a jacket, but it was still.
[56:47]
Shane
You're crazy, man.
[56:49]
Garrett Palm
I'm crazy. I'm.
[56:50]
Amanda
You've traveled a lot.
[56:51]
Shane
Yeah. So you mentioned Columbia. You mentioned coffee. And I wanted to take this episode, Garrett, 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.
[57:24]
Amanda
He was so busy.
[57:25]
Shane
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.
[57:39]
Amanda
It to big mean.
[57:40]
Shane
I was just saying, like, that's a Garrett thing.
[57:43]
Garrett Palm
I will say I was the one that then put in the edit notes to add that text that you. So I sent the text to the editor.
[57:52]
Shane
Yeah.
[57:53]
Garrett Palm
So you know.
[57:54]
Shane
Yes. But I felt very bad about it. I didn't mean it to be mean. And I genuinely was interested in the coffee club. But I understand if I will never be invited again.
[58:11]
Amanda
Yeah. I think you're out.
[58:12]
Garrett Palm
Are you?
[58:13]
Shane
Well, yeah.
[58:14]
Garrett Palm
We are meeting this Saturday.
[58:16]
Amanda
Oh, my God. Put him on the stone.
[58:20]
Garrett Palm
It's now become coffee and European football.
[58:23]
Shane
Okay, that's cool.
[58:25]
Amanda
You got him.
[58:26]
Garrett Palm
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 then 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.
[58:49]
Shane
If you are, I am legitimately out of town. I am not kidding. Garrett, bring up his calendar. I'm out of town this weekend, but keep letting me know and I will show up. I will show up. I promise.
[59:08]
Amanda
Carrot.
[59:08]
Shane
When I'm not out of town.
[59:09]
Amanda
Just drop him.
[59:11]
Shane
I'm out of town.
[59:12]
Amanda
Drop his ass.
[59:14]
Shane
Okay, I'm sorry. That sounds great. I love European football and also coffee.
[59:20]
Amanda
Garrett, is he forgiven?
[59:22]
Garrett Palm
Um, you don't have to.
[59:25]
Shane
Garrett, you don't have to.
[59:27]
Garrett Palm
You know what? No, no, Shane, I forgive you.
[59:32]
Amanda
Oh.
[59:33]
Garrett Palm
It's not for everybody.
[59:36]
Amanda
Okay?
[59:37]
Garrett Palm
And. And even if it was, not all of us have the schedule.
[59:40]
Amanda
Okay. Wow.
[59:41]
Garrett Palm
You know, the end like, this feels like a sorry. Well, and you never. You. You never like you were legitimately busy that day, and you're legitimately busy in comedy. You know, I. I operate best when I am the butt of a joke.
[60:02]
Shane
Okay.
[60:03]
Amanda
I mean, for 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.
[60:13]
Shane
Thank you, Garrett. You're welcome.
[60:16]
Amanda
So glad that's over. So cringy for me. That was really hard.
[60:21]
Shane
That was awful.
[60:22]
Amanda
What am I doing Saturday?
[60:23]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, you want to watch that?
[60:24]
Shane
Oh, yeah. Amanda, are you interested?
[60:25]
Amanda
What time? Oh, no. This feels like a pity hang.
[60:29]
Shane
Oh, yeah, yeah.
[60:30]
Amanda
I'm gonna say I don't know yet.
[60:32]
Garrett Palm
Okay, fair.
[60:33]
Amanda
Cause I'm under the spotlight.
[60:35]
Shane
But you like coffee.
[60:36]
Amanda
I'm obsessed with coffee. And I'm starting to do a pour over right now with.
[60:40]
Garrett Palm
Oh, what are you using?
[60:41]
Amanda
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.
[60:55]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[60:56]
Amanda
And so we grind our coffee. We do it on 205.
[60:59]
Garrett Palm
What are you grinding with?
[61:02]
Amanda
I don't.
[61:02]
Garrett Palm
Okay, that's right. That's fine.
[61:03]
Amanda
I don't know what it's called.
[61:04]
Garrett Palm
Burr grinder, at least.
[61:06]
Shane
Burr electric grinder.
[61:07]
Amanda
Yeah, Electric grinder Does that burr.
[61:09]
Garrett Palm
Well, we'll talk. We'll talk.
[61:11]
Amanda
Is burr grinder.
[61:12]
Shane
Garrett's an expert.
[61:13]
Amanda
Yeah, I would love to know the grinder.
[61:15]
Garrett Palm
Well, there's burr and blade, and you don't want blade.
[61:18]
Amanda
What's burr?
[61:19]
Garrett Palm
Burr is like, it's like there's a conical burr and it's like grinding a blade is very obvious. It's like two blades and it's like spins around and like does an uneven grind and burns the coffee as it grinds.
[61:29]
Shane
Yeah, exactly.
[61:31]
Amanda
You don't fucking love this.
[61:32]
Shane
I know.
[61:33]
Amanda
I might not have the right. I might not have the right one.
[61:37]
Shane
If you're listening to this, I mean.
[61:38]
Garrett Palm
Ultimately, if you like it, you like it.
[61:40]
Amanda
No, no. If you're listening to this, if you.
[61:42]
Shane
Like your shitty coffee, that's okay.
[61:44]
Amanda
If you're listening to this, there's two grinders, There's a burr.
[61:47]
Garrett Palm
Uh huh.
[61:48]
Shane
There's.
[61:49]
Amanda
And a blade. Don't get the blade. And I'm going to check today to make sure I don't have the blade. Wow.
[61:57]
Shane
Yeah.
[61:57]
Amanda
Can't wait to tell my husband. Be like, we've been burning our coffee.
[62:00]
Garrett Palm
I know.
[62:02]
Shane
We forgot to mention the ultimate hero is Dany.
[62:07]
Garrett Palm
Oh, yes.
[62:08]
Shane
Completely neglected to mention Dany.
[62:10]
Amanda
Dany is Garret's dog.
[62:12]
Shane
Yes. Incredible dog.
[62:15]
Garrett Palm
I love him.
[62:16]
Shane
Only a young dog, but does not look old.
[62:20]
Amanda
Soul four and a half young soul 105 soul.
[62:27]
Shane
The best dog. Look, this might offend some of our cast members and crew, but I think Danny might be my favorite Smosh dog. And that's high. No, that's high praise because I love all the dogs here at Smosh.
[62:42]
Garrett Palm
Take that with me.
[62:43]
Shane
Every dog is incredible.
[62:44]
Amanda
I do.
[62:45]
Shane
So sweet. But Danny was just the most unique dog I've ever seen. I was just like Danny. And he would get into trash.
[62:52]
Amanda
He would get into trash. He would sing. You'd go, Danny.
[62:55]
Shane
And he'd go, yeah.
[62:58]
Amanda
He was a singer. He was a trash man.
[63:00]
Garrett Palm
And you should see him at the dog park. He books. It goes wild. Really great. Yeah.
[63:06]
Shane
Aw. I feel like Danny's the type that loves every other dog.
[63:09]
Garrett Palm
Yes, he does.
[63:10]
Shane
Zero hate.
[63:11]
Amanda
Danny's an angel.
[63:12]
Garrett Palm
He has developed.
[63:14]
Shane
What does he hate?
[63:16]
Garrett Palm
Dogs that with black and brown markings on them.
[63:20]
Shane
Interesting.
[63:20]
Garrett Palm
He will go in just wild. He just gets, like a little bad, huh? I don't know what's happened.
[63:27]
Shane
I've always been.
[63:28]
Garrett Palm
In the last six months.
[63:29]
Shane
That's always fascinating to me because, like, I had a. I had a dog growing up that occasionally just some dogs, he was just like, I don't fucking like you.
[63:35]
Garrett Palm
Yeah.
[63:35]
Shane
I was like, what is it?
[63:36]
Garrett Palm
Yeah, how?
[63:37]
Amanda
What?
[63:38]
Shane
What is it about that dog?
[63:39]
Amanda
It smells it. Some breeds, they just do not match my dog.
[63:43]
Shane
It was just sometimes just he saw a dog, he was just like, I don't like you.
[63:46]
Amanda
You used to own a dog.
[63:47]
Shane
I had two dogs growing up.
[63:49]
Amanda
I didn't know that.
[63:49]
Shane
Two Australian shepherds.
[63:51]
Garrett Palm
What were their names?
[63:52]
Shane
Oh, no, they were Shiloh and Jack. One of them just did not like other dogs. Sometimes. Yeah, that's just how it is. But that's how it just. Dogs are weird.
[64:00]
Amanda
That's how it is.
[64:00]
Shane
It just happens.
[64:02]
Amanda
Okay, well, I think it's time for us to reveal.
[64:05]
Shane
Yeah.
[64:06]
Garrett Palm
What?
[64:06]
Shane
Well, 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 eat it.
[64:13]
Garrett Palm
Oh, yes.
[64:14]
Shane
Yes.
[64:14]
Amanda
I'm going to guess Shane's. Although I don't know how I'm going to guess.
[64:19]
Shane
If you can just guess what the ingredient is. Some aspect of ingredient.
[64:23]
Amanda
Well, you kind of gave me some clues.
[64:24]
Shane
It was early on. It was before you were in Eat it or Eat it.
[64:27]
Amanda
Okay, so you have grave Mouth so sour, which is malic acid and.
[64:32]
Garrett Palm
Oh, I know.
[64:32]
Amanda
And Bitrex, maybe.
[64:35]
Garrett Palm
Okay.
[64:35]
Amanda
Bitrix.
[64:36]
Garrett Palm
No.
[64:37]
Amanda
And liquid. You hate liquid. You hate liquid. And you don't like the color green. You don't like the color.
[64:43]
Shane
I'll let you guess then. I'll let Garrett guess.
[64:44]
Amanda
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.
[64:57]
Shane
Okay, Garrett. Garrett, do you know what it was?
[65:00]
Garrett Palm
The peanut butter. The chocolate peanut butter. Cups full of fermented fish paste.
[65:05]
Amanda
Oh, wow. I was very close.
[65:08]
Shane
You absolutely nailed it.
[65:09]
Garrett Palm
Not a liquid, not green.
[65:10]
Shane
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.
[65:24]
Amanda
Don't listen to them.
[65:25]
Shane
Three of them. Into my mouth. And that was the closest I've been to on camera having a horrible time. Like, that was very close.
[65:34]
Garrett Palm
3, 2, 1.
[65:37]
Amanda
Oh, God, this is good. Oh, hot damn.
[65:44]
Garrett Palm
Always a great response.
[65:46]
Shane
Confusion.
[65:54]
Amanda
Get it out.
[65:56]
Ryan Seacrest
What?
[65:57]
Shane
Oh, come on. Just a little.
[65:58]
Amanda
He's turning red. Oh, wow.
[66:05]
Shane
Wow. What do you. I legitimately just nearly actually threw up. Very close. But I escaped and it was. It was rough.
[66:16]
Amanda
Wow.
[66:17]
Shane
It was really rough. Nothing came close to that.
[66:19]
Amanda
Okay.
[66:19]
Shane
Truly. Bravo, Garrett. That was your.
[66:22]
Garrett Palm
That.
[66:22]
Shane
Yeah, I have one.
[66:23]
Amanda
That nothing came close.
[66:24]
Garrett Palm
Okay, I have a guess.
[66:26]
Shane
Okay, let's see. Okay, so I don't think it's. You mentioned bittrix stuff. I think yours. I'm gonna say yours was some sort of meat thing. And I'm trying to remember. It's just so many episodes. I wanna say it was like there was some sort of slimy meat aspect to this. I know it's vague, but that's what I'm thinking.
[66:47]
Amanda
Okay. That's Shane's guess.
[66:49]
Garrett Palm
My guess is I know. You know the yogurt cup with real tuna on the bottom.
[66:54]
Amanda
Yes.
[66:54]
Garrett Palm
3, 2, 1.
[66:59]
Amanda

[67:01]
Garrett Palm
You did it.
[67:02]
Amanda
You did it.
[67:02]
Shane
So it was yogurt with tuna?
[67:03]
Amanda
It was Icelandic blueberry yogurt.
[67:06]
Shane
Okay.
[67:06]
Garrett Palm
With tuna instead of the blueberries.
[67:09]
Amanda
Instead of the blueberries in there.
[67:11]
Shane
That doesn't sound so bad.
[67:11]
Amanda
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.
[67:21]
Shane
Okay.
[67:22]
Amanda
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.
[67:34]
Shane
So you like. You like tuna sushi?
[67:36]
Amanda
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 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.
[68:00]
Shane
Wow. There we go. I wouldn't have guessed that. Well, I guess that sounds very tame. Yeah, that sounds not that bad.
[68:06]
Amanda
I'm a different kind of gal. Okay.
[68:08]
Shane
Okay.
[68:08]
Amanda
Okay. Yeah, yours is nasty.
