ROB: I got a little surprise for you.
ADAM: It better not be another tarantula,
I tell you what.
Well, it's tarantula food.
And how does that apply to me?
We're eating it.
Of course we are. Bloody hell, man.
Oh, it's crickets?
- They're beefy crickets. - Yeah, yeah.
They look extra juicy and plump.
ADAM: Well, they're high in protein, there's one.
ROB: Yeah, the ones I've eaten were, like, the brown crickets.
These are... uh-oh.
ADAM: That one's been on the floor,
- that can be yours. - Lunch is getting away.
Five second rule.
Better switch to 10 second.
Uh-oh.
Professional animal handler.
I was about to say the same thing.
Oh-- oh, don't look at him in the face, it's cute.
All righty. You wanna grab one?
I'll take the one that was in the dirt.
- Cheers? - Cheers.
Bottoms up.
Oh, no.
[choking]
Ugh!
It's still moving.
Man. Leg somewhere in there.
That's a particularly gross-tasting cricket.
It was like warm [bleep].
[laughing] No, it was, literally.
Bug poop.
Oh, God. You're an [bleep], man.
All right, do you want more crickets,
or do you wanna move on to the main course?
- Oh, main course, please. - All right, all right.
Another thing people feed tarantulas is mealworms.
And these are huge, these are like super worms.
- They're massive. - That's the biggest mealworm
I've seen in my life.
Actually big-- hey, that might bite you on the way down.
ADAM: It's like as big as your finger.
Jerk, I know what you mean.
Years ago, when I was younger and dumber-- younger--
I got second place in a worm-eating contest.
I ate 79 mealworms.
What was your childhood like?
Oklahoma gets boring, man.
[Bleep], and you came in second.
That's a slap in the face.
- Yeah. - [laughing]
What are we gonna do, a half dozen?
[Bleep] off.
What's the difference between eating one
and eating multiple?
Remember the time we did multiple harvester ants?
It sucks a lot more.
One, two, three, four, five-- yeah, six.
- I got six. - All right, that's six.
That's six-- one, two, three...
You're picking smaller ones!
Hey, you went in there first.
Can you imagine it in your stomach still alive?
- Ooh! - Yeah.
I wonder if it comes out alive, if it comes out a beetle.
'Cause that's what they turn into.
Metamorph-- [laughing]
Metamorphosis.
It's almost that.
All right. I don't even have a strategy.
Let's just...
[laughing] [Bleep]!
Ugh! No. No. No.
ADAM: They're in there. - [muffled speaking]
All right, all right, don't talk with your mouth full.
Crunchy.
[gagging]
They got-- they got a fishy [bleep] taste to 'em.
[muffled] I never remember
how fishy it is.
I feel like you can taste when they just squeeze
their poop out into your mouth.
Biting my [bleep] tongue.
Ugh!
It's bit-- it's biting my [bleep] throat.
Get down!
Oh, you [bleep] dirty bastard.
It's just... it's disgusting, actually.
Ugh.
Oh!
Oh, that was bad.
Ugh! It's disgusting!
[Bleep] off with that, get it away from me.
Ugh.
[gulping] Got it.
Don't act refined after eating bugs.
Oh, no.
All right, so let's rate this on a gross scale.
[laughing] Okay, yeah.
- One to 10. - Okay.
The cricket was pretty damn gross.
And that pop.
So, a scale of one to 10 on grossness, that's...
Ugh, maybe I'll go four?
Yeah. Same.
It's that initial pop of the abdomen
that was disgusting, but after that
it wasn't too bad.
Okay, so cricket, we both got a four for grossness.
Mm-hmm. What are you gonna rate,
like, the mouthful of mealworms,
or super worms, whatever those are.
That was super gross, it was like sucking on a blister
and it goes "blop" in your mouth.
I'm gonna give that a five and a half.
Yeah. I'm gonna give it a six.
I got like a gag reflex, I almost threw up.
Okay, so I got a five and a half,
you got a six, that's a 5.75
for grossness of the mealworm.
Let's see if we can get Dr. Ben to eat one.
Ben, do you wanna eat one?
- Hell no. ADAM: Not even one?
- Not even one, nope. - Mealworm?
- Nope, nope. ROB: So cricket it is, then.
- Yeah, no. - How 'bout a glass of cement,
so you could harden the [bleep] up?
[Rob chuckles]
I've already got butterflies in my stomach
thinking about this.
No, thanks.
As bad as that was,
we're moving into the orange baboon tarantula after this.
It's gonna be a different story when we get bitten by the OBT.
Yeah, that's not gonna be funny at all,
and quite serious, actually.
- Yeah. - [sighs]
- So, that's... - That's their idea
of saving on catering.
We're doing this show on a budget, man.
- On a bug-dget. - Aw.
[laughing]
All right, I'm outta here.
I'm gonna fire out a few bugs in the Portaloo.
