Well, we both did it.
We both did it.
We should be proud of ourselves.
That's a hot one.
Now I'm--
It's kicking.
Welcome to My Favorite Food is Snacks, a statement that
is true and also the title of this show,
where we invite an interesting guest to sample snacks from all
over the globe.
My guest today is a musician whose hits
like "It's Time to Party," "Party Hard,"
and more have turned him into somewhat of a party guru,
making him the perfect fit for this episode
of My Favorite Food is Snacks.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Andrew WK, everyone.
[APPLAUSE]
All right.
Whoo!
Welcome.
Wow.
This is nice.
Thanks, man.
Nice basement.
Yeah.
I kind of cleaned it up for you a little bit.
You want a Twizzler?
Yes, please.
There you go.
Thank you.
Oh.
Thank you very much.
Any one is good.
These are extra long.
So you're on the road right now, right?
The Power of Partying Tour.
Yes.
It's motivational speeches on generating a type
of almost irrational optimism.
Well, let's just set up a scenario.
I'm down in the dumps.
I don't want to party.
Can you pep me up right now?
I would say, well, first of all, not
feeling pepped up and resting down in a basement
by yourself eating candy, that counts as partying.
It is easy to take a Twizzler for granted.
It is easy to think that this isn't a precious soft fruit,
but it is.
It is.
And it does count as partying.
You've opened my eyes to this life in my basement.
Well, thank you.
I had no idea that I was already partying.
Now, this is no ordinary peanut.
Ah, it's a good one.
Because this is Virginia peanut, lightly salted.
And they're a little bit crunchier,
a little bit nuttier.
Oh, you're right.
And-- oh.
That's for the bugs.
Yeah.
Let them get it.
Don't worry about it.
Can't go wrong.
You love pizza, right?
Yes.
Very much so.
You're a big pizza fan.
You have a guitar shaped like a pizza you had custom made?
This is true, yes.
Well, we're going to combine two things here.
This is a dessert pizza we had shipped in.
Look at this thing.
Holy smokes.
This is real--
It's crazy.
--real baked bread?
It's like Oreo.
Maybe you just break it up.
You just break it?
You just want to break it?
Oh.
Oh, yeah.
Getting in it.
This is sweet and savory in the way
that to me something like the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
would be.
Moving on!
Ooh.
Here we go.
I don't want to look-- oh, wow.
This is a mega jumbo.
So this is the party bear.
This--
Oh, it's even heavier than it looks.
That has got to be at least, what?
That one's 26 pounds.
Holy smokes.
It smells fantastic.
I think it's cherry.
It is cherry.
You want to go for it?
Yeah.
Do I just bite right--
Wherever you want.
You've got to kind of gnaw a little bit,
I think, with your teeth a little bit.
My jaw just cracked.
Pass the bear to the left-hand side.
What do you think?
It's a good chew.
Get those teeth working.
I really like gummy stuff in general,
and I've been craving it quite a bit
lately and eating it quite a lot.
This is toilet candy.
Have you heard of this?
No, probably for good reason.
You haven't heard of toilet--
I definitely spent a lot of time in the toilet area.
All the directions were in Japanese,
so I'm trying my best here.
I think-- yeah.
OK.
And then we put water.
OK.
This might get our beanbag a little wet.
Very careful.
Let it simmer.
All right.
It's doing its thing.
Well, let's give it a minute.
OK.
Let's give it a minute.
It's supposed to sizzle?
Maybe this will be like our treat after this next one.
So this is our final one here, Andrew.
OK.
Now, this one is our challenge snack.
Challenge Snack.
This is going to test your limits, I think.
We may have to thrash--
What is it, some kind of fudge?
We may have to thrash and move on.
It can't be that--
This one is--
Oh, wait a minute.
I've never seen something like this before.
This is the Paqui tortilla chips challenge.
They sent us these chips.
It's covered in Carolina Reaper Powder, which
is an extremely hot pepper.
I've heard of this.
Yes.
I'm familiar with this pepper.
All right.
I have eaten spicy things in my time.
Yeah?
What do you think?
Do you want-- you going to do this?
I'm going to smell it very carefully.
All right.
Ready?
All right.
One, two, three.
Oh.
[COUGHING]
Body movements.
Andrew, if I rock out, will it help me?
I don't know.
Maybe.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Oh.
[COUGH] Oh.
Oh.
It's making it hotter, though.
It's making make it hotter.
Andrew, you made it through the toilet candy.
It never happened.
Well, I'll still try it, though.
Oh, you want to try it?
It's sour, kind of.
I've got one last thing for you before we go.
OK.
You have done some cool stuff on the Cartoon Network.
You were on Uncle Grandpa.
You hosted a show, Destroy Build Destroy,
in which kids had to choose how to destroy a vehicle.
Yeah.
Now, we just enjoyed that 26-pound gummy bear.
And we're going to destroy it now.
OK.
Whoo!
Do you want to see it blown up or incinerated?
Incinerated, please.
Whoo.
You got it.
All right.
We're going to put it up.
Ooh.
How did you do this?
Potassium chlorate.
Wow.
It reacts with the gummy.
And there's no flame?
You didn't light it?
It's kind of like inside of the jar.
You didn't ignite it, though?
It just does it on its own?
Mm-hmm.
Chemical.
All right.
Check out Andrew WK.
Go see him.
He's on tour right now.

Thank you for giving me snacks.
You got it, man. until next time,

Whoo!
You good?
You all right?
Nice job, man.
