- Oh! - (Lara) Gary was killed...
- You know what it is.
- Since when is this an aphrodisiac?
- Maybe that's why she was mad about it,
'cause she's like apparently!
- This makes my brain hurt!
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we're going to be playing Vegans Explain.
- Vegans Explain?
- Are you vegan? - No, are you vegan?
- No, I'm not vegan. - Okay.
We're probably listening to vegans explain.
- But what are the buttons for?
- Oh, I guess we'll find out.
- (FBE) We asked several vegans to describe meat-based dishes,
and you're going to have to guess what they're talking about.
You'll be competing against each other to see who can name the most dishes.
You will only get one guess. Buzz in when you know the answer.
- Ooh, that'll be good. - Sounds fun!
The vegans are all "it's just, you shouldn't eat this one."
- Most vegans were not vegan for at least part of their life,
so they're not gonna be like "oh, what is this strange hamburger?"
Like, they're gonna know what it is.
- I think it's gonna be pretty even.
I think this is gonna be a neck and neck one.
- (FBE) How long have you been vegan and why are you vegan?
- Because of Crohn's Disease.
It's a lovely, lovely little disease
where your intestines attack themselves, like idiots.
I actually have been on a journey figuring out the right diet,
so it finally came to veganism or moreso plant-based.
- I was inspired by my daughter, Sole Stewart.
Thank you, daughter.
She became vegan before I was, when she was only 15 years old.
- I've been vegan for about five months now.
I initially went cruelty-free,
so I wasn't buying anything that was tested on animals,
and then I was like wait, hold a second,
that doesn't make sense, 'cause I'm still eating them.
- (FBE) Here's the first clip.
- (Haley) This flavor's like...
(bell rings) - Okay, no.
Geez! - (Haley) Smoky and very hearty.
It's very hearty. - All meats are smoked and hearty!
- Right!
- (Jenny) I like it when it's made with a black bean substitute.
- Okay. - Black bean?
- (Becca) So it's like the classic American thing,
like when you think of... - What?
- (Becca) ...Americans eat.
But then we added a little dairy element, you know?
- Dairy.
- (Malcolm) Something juicy in the middle,
with a slice of tomato and lettuce on top.
(bell rings) - Cheeseburger.
(bell rings) - Oh, I was thinking that.
As soon as I heard lettuce and tomato, Malcolm gave it away dude.
- Shoulda got in there, shoulda got in there.
- (Courtney) You would eat this during Fourth of July.
- Interesting. (Eric gasps)
- (Courtney) Barbecues. - Oh, okay.
- (Courtney) This is very much a staple in...
(bells ring)
- I did that first, by the way. - Whatever!
- Cheeseburger? (bell rings)
Ah, what you want! You wanna be correct, like me.
- (Lara) There's two pieces of bread.
(bell rings) - I just wanna guess
and say is it a burger? A cheeseburger?
(bell rings) Okay. (laughs)
That kinda threw me for a loop in the beginning.
- Right. - I was like
"where are they going with this?"
- I was like "ribs?"
- (Lara) And then there is a chunk of cow.
- A chunk of cow. - A chunk of cow, okay.
- Just a subtle like vegan hate dropped in there.
- They said something about Fourth of July,
and there's only certain foods you eat at Fourth of July.
- A cheeseburger. (bell rings)
- [bleep] I didn't even get a guess!
- Okay, some of them were way to specific,
like it's between a bun with lettuce and tomato.
Some of them were like it's a meal!
- I know, even though they got specific,
we both were like hold up, let's listen some more!
- I'm crushing it right now, you know? - Yeah, you're batting 100%
I'm not gonna lie. - Literally, you're batting zero.
- I'm batting zero.
- (Lara) So there's a creature that lives in the ocean.
- Okay, so it's a type of fish. - Seafood.
- Fish, lots of fish.
- (Jenny) Visually, it's very appealing.
- Okay. - (Jenny) It's colorful.
- (Becca) I was probably gonna get Mercury poisoning with the amount
of times I ate this food.
- What?
- (Becca) I was probably gonna get Mercury poisoning
with the amount of times-- (bells ring)
- I... - I think it was him.
- Tuna sushi. (bell rings)
- Yeah. - Probably some tuna sushi.
- That's what I was gonna say. - Gotcha!
- Aw [bleep]! He got me again!
Damn it!
- (Haley) This would be very fresh, very crunchy.
Crunchy on the inside, like more soft on the outside.
- Crunchy?
- (Haley) You can put some sauces on it.
- I like think I know.
- (Malcolm) First form of a wrap,
but not quite. - First form of wrap?
- (Courtney) It is dark. - Okay.
- (Courtney) Green, black.
- I should have gone to the aquarium more.
- (Courtney) Also has white in the middle.
(bell rings) - Is it sushi?
(bell rings) Okay. (laughs)
- Oh, I was thinking of like a specific type of fish.
- Yeah, that's what I... - Oh, okay.
- 'Cause I was like what? - Dark green and black?
White in the middle? - (Courtney) With a fork.
- Don't eat it with a fork.
- You don't eat it with a fork.
The green and black really threw me off.
(bell rings) - A burrito.
- In the ocean?
- Oh yeah, she said the ocean. Yikes!
(bell rings) - I'm trying to think
of colors of fish, cod? (buzzer rings)
- Green, what's green? Green.
- Oh, oh! (bell rings)
Is it sushi? (bell rings)
Oh my gosh! - You know what?
I was gonna say sushi. - I feel so dumb!
- You know what, I'm really mad now.
- (Courtney) I'm describing sushi.
- Ah. - Oh, there could be cod in sushi!
- Y'all gotta get better at describing.
I was so lost. I thought a burrito.
- (Haley) A bunch of like pieces of things smooshed together,
and then... (bell rings)
- I get to wait the whole video now if you get it wrong.
- Oh, okay, shish kebab. (buzzer rings)
Damn it. - (Haley) Slap some sauce on it,
and call it a day.
- (Malcolm) We have something in between two pieces of bread.
Rather long pieces of...
(bell rings) - A hot dog?
(buzzer rings) - (FBE) Nope!
- Okay.
- (Malcolm) Rather long pieces of bread.
- (Jenny) When it returns to the menu, every time it does.
- I'm so lost, I suck at this game!
- Oh! (bell rings)
- (Jenny) Don't know why, I kinda envy those people though.
I kinda envy people who can still eat this.
- Is it the McRib? (bell rings)
- (Jenny) Stupid guts can digest it.
- Yeah, it's the return of the Mc!
- (Lara) The inside of this dish has the cage part of the body in it.
- Cage. - Cage?
- (Lara) Cage part of the body.
- Mm-hmm, oh I know what it is.
- (Courtney) It's boneless, and it shouldn't be.
- Yeah, I know, I love it!
Who is that guy, I love him! It's the McRib!
(bell rings) Yeah, woo baby!
- I'm just gonna say whatever.
My official guess. (bell rings)
Meatloaf? (buzzer rings)
God damn it.
(bell rings) - Barbecue sandwich?
Or pulled pork sandwich? (buzzer rings)
Is it close?
- It's boneless and it shouldn't be, between two long pieces of bread,
a bunch of meats together. (bell rings)
Is it like salami sandwich of some sort?
(buzzer rings) - (FBE) Nope.
- What is it?
- (Lara) Okay, I was describing the McRib, which looks disgusting.
- Mmm. - McRib?
- McRib. - I've never had a McRib in my life.
- Oh Jesus. - See I was thinking rib,
when she was like the cage. - Yeah!
- And then he said boneless, and I was like what?
- (Malcolm) It's very popular
appetizers. - Malcolm, I need more.
- (Jenny) I just started to stray away from eating them.
I think it's 'cause a bunch of people get food poisoning from them.
- No idea, what? - What?
- (Haley) It looks like it's in a pool of its own blood,
and it's like, this is like a whole being.
Like sitting on a cup, and I just don't think
that that's like nice.
- (laughs) That's really funny.
- (Courtney) So it comes in a glass.
- That doesn't help! - Comes in a glass?
- (Courtney) Pink and white.
- (Lara) This is like a bougie sort of meal, I think.
- I mean, I was gonna say oysters but it sounds like it's more than that.
(buzzer rings)
- What the hell do you call that thing that's like the big glass
with the shrimp. (laughs) - Oh!
- I forgot what it's called. - Okay.
- (Becca) It's like a Bloody Mary, but um...
- Shrimp cocktail. (bell rings)
It's the only thing I can think of that came in a cup.
- But extra bloody. - (Becca) Sea critters in it.
- What the... (bell rings)
- I mean, I guess I have to take a guess.
I'm really not sure.
Um... (Tom gasps)
Uh... - I know what it is!
- Oysters? (buzzer rings)
- That was gonna be my first guess.
It's a shrimp cocktail.
- God damn it! - Woo!
- That was actually so obvious. (bell rings)
- I'm so lost. - Shrimp, do I need the dish?
I don't like fish. - Get to know you differently today.
- A shrimp cocktail!
(bell rings) Yeah!
- (Haley) I am talking about a shrimp cocktail!
- A shrimp cocktail, why couldn't I think of that one?
- She threw me off when she was like
it sits in its own blood. - Yeah! (laughs)
- (Jenny) It's an aphrodesiac, apparently.
- What does that mean? - (Haley) Really dig in to.
- It's like, nah, I don't want to tell you.
- Later.
- (Haley) Anything that you have to like really dig into to eat.
(bell rings) - (laughs) You were so like...
- Oysters.
(buzzer rings) - (FBE) Nope.
- What?
(bell rings) - An oyster?
(buzzer rings) [bleep] I went quick.
- (Haley) Probably shouldn't be eaten.
- (Malcolm) As a kid, if you were a bad kid,
you would just step on it.
- (laughs) Aw, I know what it is.
I know what it is!
- (Courtney) You can't eat the outside of it,
but you do eat the inside. - Okay, there's two choices.
- (Courtney) You kinda like...
(bell rings) - Is it a snail, snails?
- (FBE) But what's it called?
- Snails!
(bell rings) Snails!
(bell rings) A snail dish!
(bell rings) - Is it escargot?
(bell rings)
- (Courtney) Suck it out of it. - C'mon!
- (Becca) If you're pretentious and French, you eat this,
and it's not frog legs.
- (Lara) There's this beautiful show called SpongeBob,
and SpongeBob has a little friend... - Oh, oh, I love these!
- (Lara) And Gary was killed. - Oh!
- You know what it is!
- (Lara) Gary was killed to make this dish.
- Oh. - [bleep]
(bell rings) Is this snails?
Escargot. (bell rings)
Okay, this is escargot. (laughs)
- Good job! - I got one point!
Holy [bleep]! - You did it!
- Thank you Jordan, give me a hug.
- I don't think I would've guessed that one.
- (Jeannie) Give me a hug!
- Uh. (bell rings)
Escargot, snails. - Nice.
- Is it escargot? (bell rings)
- Since when is this an aphrodisiac?
- Maybe that's why she was mad about it,
'cause she's like "apparently"!
- (Jenny) You know, this makes me glad
that I am vegan. Like, it looks good,
but then knowing what's in it, I'd probably vomit
for like a year maybe? - (laughs) So dramatic.
- (Haley) It looks like if you made carrot cake,
with like rotting carrots and blended it.
- Okay, looks gross.
- (Haley) Together it's like a really just dry, disgusting recipe.
- (Courtney) It's like log shaped. It's wrapped several times.
- What does this mean?
- (Lara) So it's a tube.
- Huh? - A tube.
- (Lara) The thing that makes the outside of the tube is where...
- This is making me nervous.
- (Lara) Where the animal stores their food.
- What? - That sounds disgusting.
- (Malcolm) It's something you eat in Scotland?
- Ugh, this makes my brain hurt.
- (Lara) It's like the quintessential weird Scottish food.
- Oh.
- (Lara) That isn't as big of a deal in Scotland as we think.
- I think I know what it is.
(bell rings) - (Lara) People eat it,
but it's not like a huge thing. - (FBE) What is it?
- Gross. - Is it intestines?
- (FBE) No. (buzzer rings)
(bell rings) - Is it meatloaf?
(buzzer rings)
- Oh my gosh, it's the nasty stuff,
but like I forgot what it's called. I know what it is though.
(bell rings) - Marrow.
(buzzer rings) D'oh!
- I was gonna say sausage, but since they said Scottish,
I'm gonna go ahead and say haggis?
- (FBE) Yep. (bell rings)
- Haggis, I would've never thought of that one.
- Bratwurst? (buzzer rings)
No, damn.
- Dude, I don't know, I was thinking like sausages.
- Yeah. - Like we were talking about,
because it's like, you're in an animal carcass.
But then they're like it's Scotland.
I wanna say like haggis? (bell rings)
No way! - No!
- (Becca) Haggis. (laughs)
- Yeah, haggis. - What the heck?
I've honestly never even heard that word in like ever in English.
Is that an English word?
- Haggis? - Oh, never would've guessed that.
- Couldn't y'all agree, like tacos, or a sandwich?
- We tied, yeah! - Honestly,
no better person to tie with. - I'll take it.
Hey, I'm happy. This is a good day.
We talked about some foods, we're equally meat lovers.
- I don't know why I have so much faith in me.
I was like "I'm gonna get it perfect." But nope, got only one.
- Even if I got the sushi one right, we coulda tied, right?
We coulda tied. - We could've tied.
- I'm a little proud of myself, but I'm also disappointed in them,
because I thought they would've explained
those dishes a lot better. (laughs)
Good game, good game, GGs. (both laugh)
