We love our first two guests.
They are one of the funniest couples in Hollywood.
And between the two of them, they're
on about 20 different TV shows, I think.
But please welcome Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard.
Yeah.
That's right.
Hello.
Did I do it right?
Yeah, you did.
It's infectious, all the dancing.
Yeah, it really is.
It is, the dancing.
The dancing.
Great dancing, guys.
You guys--
You guys-- really ood.
All right.
We have things to get to, and I want
to talk about what you did the other day, and why you did it.
And were you--
Forced to do it?
No.
You weren't forced to do it.
It was voluntary.
You thought about it.
Was it painful?
Sure.
Yeah.
Did it almost kill us?
Absolutely, Ellen.
Yes.
I'm a spokesperson for the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
And to raise awareness, to get folks to go get checked out,
there's a challenge called the Chocolate Challenge 2019.
For the Fuego Box.
You buy this Fuego Box, and it's the Choco Challenge 2019,
and you eat a violently hot piece of chocolate.
And we were real arrogant because I won a hot wing
chicken contest, eating contest, and Kristen here
had the hot chip contest.
I've had the chips here on your show.
No big deal.
Blew through it.
So you all like hot things?
Everyone was like, it's so hot.
I had four of them.
No big deal.
We love hot sauce.
We couldn't have been more cocky.
Woo.
So we decided-- well, I didn't.
Kristen decided because she's a genius.
I was like, Honey, we got to do--
we have to do this.
We have to do it on video.
It's like every post, they'll donate $5 to the Prostate
Cancer Foundation.
We want to raise money and awareness.
So we live Instagrammed it.
Insta-storied it, right.
And the wheels came off the bus immediately.
Whoa, do we regret it.
Whoa.
All right, let's watch this.
I was watching this in my office this morning.
And OK, this is the beginning.
We've narrowed it down.
Ooh.
It's 14 minutes long.
Yeah.
So this is condensed.
Oh, wow.
But just watch them.
OK.
Woo.
Holy cabbage.
I need a tissue.
It's really hot.
It's not-- it's not comfortable.
Can you hand me one of those tissues?
Oh.
Oh, my God.
Let's answer some questions.
Yeah, there will be more of The Good Place.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, right?
It really starts watering.
Oh, that's so much better.
Eat that.
For a minute.
It's so much better.
Take these back.
Whoa!
Oh.
Oh, look at me and Dax.
We were a mess.
I was wondering why--
truly though, why hasn't it subsided?
Oh, my God.
This was--
Oh.
100 times worse than I was expecting.
Oh.
Ah.
Oh, my God.
Oh, boy.
OK.
He was-- none of that was acting.
We thought it would be no big deal.
And then we thought we'd have to even pump it up and go, oh,
this is hot.
Yeah.
We were a mess.
By the way--
For how long?
Oh, it got much worse when we stopped recording.
We stopped recording, and it--
Things went South in a hurry.
And again, it was 14 minutes long.
This was cut down for the show, but--
Yeah.
So it lasted maybe an hour?
Yeah, well, we did have to evacuate orally at some point.
I don't know the classy way to say--
To save our lives.
Yeah.
Yes.
And then sleeping was really rough.
We were both really kicking around,
like this-- you'd get like just a shock of it.
Like, oh, it's still in there.
We thought we got it out.
We did not get it out.
And I still, a little bit, I'm having like flashes.
Like, I get hot and then sweaty and then--
Flu symptoms.
Flu symptoms, yeah.
Wow.
We will never get hired to play like world champion
hot food eaters in a movie after this.
No.
It was hilarious, though.
It was really embarrassing.
I was laughing so hard.
OK, let's talk about the last time you were here.
OK, so your first crush was Brad Pitt.
You've moved on.
Then it was Bradley Cooper.
You went to the Golden Globes because you were nominated.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
So you're at the Golden Globes.
You see Bradley.
And immediately, he says, I saw you on Ellen.
And he said, I was watching it, and it was really funny,
but there was a moment where you said, yeah, I like Bradley.
And he went, and he said, my heart sank.
But then you said, I love Bradley.
And then I felt a lot better.
I thought, why did you say I like you when you love--
It's a very sweet romance.
And then, so I think we were both so moved by that
that then this took place.
Then this happened because that's--
Yeah.
And you're off to the side, watching.
Oh, lonely as can be.
Yeah.
Just really wondering why I'm not involved.
Yeah.
You know?
I mean--
You've got lips.
I mean, honestly.
Yeah, we're not the only two with lips there.
No.
He's a great guy, though.
He's very sweet.
He is.
The sweetest.
And what a name, Bradley.
So I'm keeping it in the--
Oh, Brad, Bradley.
Brad, Bradley.
Yeah, you're going to keep it--
Yeah.
Maybe Paisley is next.
Maybe--
Paisley.
Yeah, Brad Paisley.
There's a lot of Brads that we'll go to.
Yeah, and he's a great selection, Brad Paisley.
He is.
He's very funny too.
Yeah.
OK, good.
That's next.
Yeah, you should go to him next.
All right, we're back with Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard.
And the two of you have proven that you'll put anything
in your mouth for a good cause, so we
thought you should play a game we call "Taste Buds."
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, here's how it works.
The two of you are going to be blindfolded, and when I say go,
one of you will bend over to taste
the food on the plate in front of you,
then you'll describe what you're eating to the other person.
You know how to work a blindfold, don't you?
Ellen.
All right, you cannot use the name of the food or use
your hands.
Once your teammate guesses what you're eating,
you'll hear this.
[BELL]
And then it'll be their turn.
For every item that you guys guessed correctly
our friends at Shutterfly will donate $1,000
to Prostate Cancer Foundation.
Well done.
Put your blindfolds on.
OK, OK.
All right.
Make sure that--
What if, in fact, I didn't know how to operate them?
Put them real tight so you can't see nothing.
OK, can't see nothing.
After all that showing off.
All right, who is starting?
All right, Kristen, you are starting.
Hands behind your back.
OK.
Behind my back.
And--
What about the hair, Ellen?
I'll hold your hair.
OK.
All right.
And then you will taste this, and describe it,
and tell him what it is.
Where is it?
It's down here.
Oh.
Ew.
Hon, we're on a clock.
We're on a clock, like raising money.
A lentil loaf of some sort.
No, it's oatmeal.
It's dry, dry oatmeal.
Well, hold on, hold on.
Honey, Honey, I'm supposed to guess.
[BUZZER]
You're not--
You would say, we eat it in the morning.
Bob's Red Mill.
Yeah.
All right.
Yeah.
And then I say, oatmeal!
The whole point is you don't say it.
He says it.
OK?
All right, it is your turn.
You know how to play the game.
I can't work under these conditions!
All right.
I'm so sorry.
All right.
Lean down.
I am sorry.
Oh.
Oh, yeah, you put it on a hot dog, and a hamburger,
and French fries.
Mustard!
No.
Oh, my God!
Ketchup.
Who puts mustard on a--
[BELL]
--French fry?
Ketchup.
That's not right.
I like mustard.
Oh, ketchup.
OK, good.
You said it.
Don't say the food.
All right, don't say the food.
You describe it.
Oh, man.
All right.
Oh, oh.
Take your time.
It's a crunchy after-dinner snack,
and it's shaped like a big worm.
And it has-- when you leave milk out, it turns into--
An Oreo.
No.
Oh, cheese!
Yeah, and something like that is in the name too.
Macaroni and cheese.
No, it's a crunchy, crunchy after-dinner snack.
Oh, Cheez-It!
A crunchy after-dinner snack of cheese?
Nobody eats an after-dinner cheese snack.
It's what we take to the sand dunes to snack on.
She said after-dinner snack.
Forget that.
OK, that's out, that's out.
It's what we take to the sand dunes, see,
when we eat crappy food.
Chips.
Yeah, but what kind are the best kind?
Oh, Ruffles sour cream.
They look like fingers.
They look like fingers!
Sour cream and cheddar.
They look like fingers!
Cheez-Its.
I said Cheez-Its.
They're not Cheez-Its.
I'm taking this--
Mustard.
They look like fingers, fingers, Dax!
Fingers, and they're made of cheese.
String cheese.
They're crunchy, and they look like a finger,
and they have a curve like a cashew,
but they're not a cashew.
There's--
They're bright orange, and there's
a big tiger that sells them.
There's a big what?
Tiger.
Is he a tiger?
No.
Oh.
No.
No, he's not a tiger.
He's a cheetah!
Oh, Cheetos.
[BELL]
All right.
There's a million things I would have described that as.
All right.
Chester the-- what, what, what?
Oh.
I get this every time we go to ArcLight
with one squirt of butter.
What?
I get--
Oh, popcorn.
[BELL]
Yes.
He's good at this.
All right.
Oh, it's rabbit food.
It's what I eat in the garden.
Oh, my goodness.
And it has the most antioxidants of any type of--
Spinach, spinach, spinach.
No, it's the kind that you caught with blue cheese on it.
I put blue cheese on it?
Blue cheese, Dax.
And bacon.
And--
Oh, a wedge.
Iceberg.
Yes, yes.
[BELL]
No, we're not stopping this game.
Yeah.
I'll play this all year.
Oh.
What the hell?
Oh, my God.
What?
Oh.
Chimpanzees eat it.
It grows on a tree.
It's yellow.
Eucalyptus.
Oh, my goodness.
Bananas.
Yes.
[BELL]
Do you see a pattern emerging?
Ooh.
Um.
Mm.
Oh.
It's--
It makes you take a nap?
No, it's very good.
It's my kids like after-dinner--
Oh, my God.
And you make--
Time of day is not relevant, Honey.
I'm going to pee my pants.
OK.
Kids like it.
Great.
Can I say what flavor it is?
Yeah.
OK, it's chocolate flavor, and it's mushy, and it's--
Pudding.
Yes.
[BELL]
Oh.
All right.
Oh.
OK.
It's got seeds in it.
It's huge and green.
And on the inside, it's pink.
It's a fruit.
Watermelon.
[BELL]
Boom.
Yes.
He's so good at this.
Come on.
Ooh.
Oh, you put these in a martini.
Olives.
Yes!
[BELL]
All right, that is a game.
We're going to round it up to $10,000 [INAUDIBLE]
cares about supporting Prostate Cancer Foundation.
