• Ryan: “The latter.” [03:44]
• The group describes their ‘at home’ spaghetti style:

  • Tyler: “...scooping it right in the mouth.”
  • Ryan: “I don’t actually even slurp. I just like get as much in my mouth as I can. I bite and all the stuff that’s not in my mouth just falls back in the bowl. That’s what I do at home.” [04:23]

Transcript

[Vinnie Colombo]

Vinnie Colombo, would you rather unknowingly walk into a live spider web once a month or get chased by a wild goose twice a month? The goose will give up after one minute, but the chase will happen in front of at least five people.

[Ryan]

Spider.

[Tyler]

Spider web. I walked into a spider web at the lake in my garage.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Noah]

I think I walked into 4 or 5 this last weekend.

[Ryan]

Yeah, it's not even that bad.

[Tyler]

No. Plus, if I get bit by a spider, I might turn into spider man.

[Ryan]

True.

[Tyler]

So that one, that one's just not a very good one.

[Jared]

I, you know, I, I, I appreciate the question. That one was so easy and just kind of sucked. I feel like Vinnie, usually you bring more heat than that.

[Ryan]

Maybe Vinnie's just really scared of spiders. Yeah, because he just, he doubled down on the goose thing. And, and one month, five people watching. I still would probably pick this spider.

[Jared]

Yeah, like 500 people might be different.

[Ryan]

It's like, stop adding stuff. I already picked spider.

[Jared]

But then if you do the goose one, though, like, you could start. If you have, like, five people, 500 people watching, you could, like, people could.

[Tyler]

Start betting on it. On it, you know, fighting, and then.

[Ryan]

You could fix it.

[Tyler]

It 100% could be lucrative.

[Jared]

So it might be an option to.

[Tyler]

Choose that one, but we're going to.

[Jared]

Need to up the stakes.

[Tyler]

And how many people are watching?

[Jared]

All right, Ryan, Tyler, Jared, Noah, Jake, come outside. It's time for the, the bi monthly goose chase.

[Noah]

Last day of the month.

[Jared]

I need you guys to watch.

[Ryan]

It's going to be wild, this goose chase.

[Jared]

All right, start the clock. It's one minute. I would be sucking high tit, though, if I had to run around for one minute getting chased by a goose.

[Ryan]

I think you just, just fight it for a minute.

[Noah]

Okay, so I was going to ask that. It. What I don't understand is when people, like, get attacked by geese on golf courses.

[Ryan]

Like, weren't you there when I got attacked by that one?

[Noah]

No, but why, I guess why are people running away at.

[Ryan]

I, I didn't, I smacked the thing in the neck and I think I killed it.

[Noah]

See, that's what I would, that's what I would do if something was. If a goose is chasing me on the golf course.

[Tyler]

You have a club in your hand.

[Ryan]

I had two.

[Noah]

Why not?

[Tyler]

You're a dual wheel.

[Ryan]

I was, I, I missed the green on a par three, and so I had my wedge and my putter and it attacked me and I hit it once and then it came back for more and I hit it really Hard in the neck. And it was like on the ground.

[Jared]

I just can't be an accessory to goose.

[Ryan]

Well, it was self defense.

[Noah]

Oh, for.

[Ryan]

It came at me. I was just trying to hit my ball.

[Noah]

Yeah, you have a right to defend yourself.

[Jared]

Goose died by 60 degree wet.

[Noah]

Goose died by mallet putter.

[Vinnie Colombo]

Tyler said duck. Duck.

[Noah]

Duck. Duck. Gray Duck.

[Jared]

It's gray. Doc.

[Vinnie Colombo]

Pizza hut.

[Tyler]

Paul, good one.

[Vinnie Colombo]

When no one is watching, how are you eating?

[Noah]

Well, it's a domino dance.

[Tyler]

Oh, I got it.

[Ryan]

Okay.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Ryan]

Well, I thought you were just so happy about it. It's good.

[Noah]

I'm glad this is new. Yeah, it could be a new new member.

[Vinnie Colombo]

When no one is watching, how are you eating your spaghetti? Are you spooling it on your fork for neat bites or are you shoving it and slurping and getting your face all saucy?

[Ryan]

The ladder.

[Tyler]

Dude.

[Jared]

I'm gonna be honest. Yeah, I. I'm trying to think of how I eat it in front of people.

[Ryan]

I guess I. I go twirl it up and try to have a clean, easy bite in front of.

[Jared]

I feel like I go back and forth. I feel like in one spaghetti session. Spaghetti session.

[Tyler]

Great band name.

[Ryan]

Also your list, Monica.

[Jared]

Spaghetti session. I'll twirl. I'll probably start twirling it. And then by the end, I'm just.

[Tyler]

Going straight for just like scooping it right in the mouth and going.

[Ryan]

So I don't. I don't actually even slurp. I just like get as much in my mouth and I can. I bite and all the stuff that's not my mouth just falls back in the bowl. That's what I do at home.

[Tyler]

Yeah, yeah, I've done that.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Vinnie Colombo]

Eat spaghetti like no one's watching.

[Noah]

Yeah. How do you guys eat bananas when you're at home alone?

[Ryan]

I don't even peel them. I just shove the whole thing down to the back of my throat. I swallow.

[Jared]

I like to eat.

[Ryan]

That's what he wanted.

[Jared]

So I like to eat my bananas. Like I eat my corn on the cobs straight in and then teeth down.

[Tyler]

On it and then scrape off a piece.

[Noah]

You are. You're dragging teeth.

[Tyler]

Yeah, I'm dragging. But it would be, you know, dragon. Like D R O, D R A G O N. Dragon. Sure.

[Ryan]

Yeah.

[Noah]

Dragon teeth.

[Vinnie Colombo]

Game of Thrones.

[Noah]

Yeah.

[Tyler]

What will we how you eat a banana. Oh, and as a bit. Every time I eat a banana at home, she video snapshot. So now every time I take a bite, I have to turn away from her and then turn back around.

[Ryan]

She's just trying to figure out why you do this every time.

[Tyler]

Yeah, well, yeah, what I do with my banana is none of of her and all of her Snapchat friends. You know, business.

[Ryan]

Yeah.
