Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Viral Pageant Blunders & Steve Harvey Hosting

• Miss Grand Paraguay Mix-up
  The hosts react to a beauty pageant gaffe, comparing it to Steve Harvey's notorious Miss Universe 2015 mishap.

  “What won’t Steve Harvey host?” — Zac Amico (04:07)

• Discussion snowballs into Steve Harvey’s dominance as Family Feud host, eclipsing previous hosts like John O’Hurley, Richard Karn, and Louie Anderson.

  “They turned [Family Feud] into a race war, dude. It was white family versus black family.” — Naim Ali (06:06)

• The comedians joke about Steve’s exuberant support for black contestants.

2. British Etiquette Coach Reacts

• The Main Event: Zac introduces “William Hanson,” a prim British etiquette coach who demonstrates the “proper” way to eat everyday foods on Reels.
• Each host speculates on the “correct” etiquette for various foods, then reacts as Shannon plays Hanson’s video depictions.

Foods Debated & Etiquette Highlights:

• Cheeseburger:
  Meant to be deconstructed and eaten with knife and fork, removing unwanted toppings first.

  “Deconstruct the burger, Shannon, no!” — Drew Montana (08:13)

• Banana:
  Peeling by hand is for “primates”—use knife and fork, cut both ends, score and peel skin.

  “That makes no fucking sense. What are we doing?” — Naim Ali (10:22)

• Peas:
  Not to be stabbed, but pushed onto a fork using a knife (as “glue” if mashed potatoes are present).

  “You got to pick your words, gotta choose your words wisely.” — Naim Ali [re: “spearing” peas] (12:04)

• Corn on the Cob:
  Cut kernels off with knife, then eat with a fork.

  “I’ve seen this before. This pisses me off.” — Drew Montana (16:24)

• French Fries (Chips):
  Remove from serving vessel onto plate, eat with knife and fork.

  “How long it would take to eat fries with a [fork]? That’s crazy.” — Naim Ali (18:05)

• Club Sandwich:
  Cut portions off using knife and fork.

  “That’s the point of it! He’s ruining sandwiches.” — Drew Montana (21:14)

• Bread & Butter:
  Take some butter for your bread plate, break bread into small pieces, butter each piece individually.

  “That makes no sense.” — Naim Ali (23:18)

• General Take: The group mock the ridiculousness and impracticality. Naim calls out the “bougie” (and possibly “gay”) nature of hyper-elegant table manners, sharing family anecdotes about “bougie black folk” using fork and knife for even cheesesteaks.

3. Simpsons Lore & Internet Rabbit Holes

• Killing Off Maude Flanders:
  Zac reveals the Simpsons’ choice to kill off Maude was due to a pay dispute, not just story.

  • The guys reminisce about weird animated deaths, long-term character suffering (Ned Flanders), and screenwriter choices.

• Infamous/Ambiguous Internet Videos:

  • The hosts search for a viral “911 Ride” AI video, failing hilariously.
  • Drew Montana laments losing a favorite “reverse gang bang” porn video online, explaining failed attempts to use AI (Grok) to relocate it.

4. Murder Dogs: Pit Bulls, Negligence, and Media Panic

• Disturbing Story:
  Brief review of viral case in Ohio: Parents convicted after their aggressive pit bull fatally attacked their baby. The discussion focuses on breed stigma vs. owner responsibility.

  “It’s not a pit bull problem, it’s the owners!” — Naim Ali (29:48)

• Personal anecdotes about well- and poorly-behaved pit bulls, emphasizing nurture over nature.

Memorable Moments & Quotes

  “My uncle Tony, he a bougie black bull!” — Naim Ali (17:05)

• On British etiquette rules:
  “Where do these people come from? Everybody knows they had the black plague and were dirty as fuck back in the day. So why are they pretending all of a sudden now?” — Naim Ali (10:27)

• On losing weird internet videos:
  “Doesn’t it suck when you know a video in your head and just can’t say the right words to ever find it again?” — Drew Montana (24:28)
