- Hey, everyone.
It's Ryan.
I'm back and better than ever.
You might recognize me from my previous BuzzFeed video,
This Guy Eats Fruit for the First Time.
You all, the internet, had a lot of thoughts about that.
Honestly, I don't understand
the big problem with that video.
I really don't.
I stepped out of my comfort zone
and I tried a bunch of fruit.
Mmm, that was good.
I really like that.
I hate, I hate that.
Now, I'm a changed person.
I literally don't just eat fruit when I'm drinking alcohol,
I have it with yogurt, I have it as a snack.
I have a really amazing relationship with fruit now.
I'm a very dramatic and defiant person.
So, growing up, when people would tell me to eat vegetables,
I absolutely rejected that.
- Ryan, I'm really unsure
as to how you're still alive and functioning.
- This has gone on for too long.
It's time for you to try vegetables.
- I am not sure how this is going to go for you.
- Get the paramedics on deck.
It's time to grow up.
- Hey, Ryan.
- We are so proud of you
for trying vegetables. - So proud.
- Please just eat the vegetables.
- I'm really proud of you for expanding your palate
from an eight-year-old's to 10 and a half year old's.
- I don't know how we failed you,
I don't know what we did when you were little.
- Ry, we really did try.
You were so disgusted trying the food.
So, good luck with everything and we're really proud of you.
- So, I can't really say
that I haven't had vegetables totally.
I've had corn,
which I don't really know if that even counts.
I've had potatoes.
But no one really cares about those.
I do not eat lettuce.
I've never had broccoli, I've never had cucumbers,
I've never had carrots.
The list goes on and on.
But now, it's time to go deeper.
I need to really push myself here.
I'm going to eat vegetables for the first time.
(intense music)
I feel stupid if I'm wrong about this.
Is this a green bean? - It's a green bean.
- Yeah, I'm nervous because it's green.
People are gonna get mad at me for cutting this in half,
but I don't care.
There's (bleep) inside of it.
(string music)
I don't know if I like it or not.
It has a little spiciness to it.
Is that normal?
I don't know, it's just...
I didn't connect with the
green bean in a way that I wanted to.
No.
Next vegetable, please.
This is celery.
- [Chris] That is celery.
- I'm familiar with her.
So, I've been given some lifelines here,
and one of the lifelines is that I can dip it in dressing.
Please bring me the ranch now.
Thanks.
Why does everything smell spicy to me?
Here's the ranch on it.
(crunching) (intense music)
I don't like that.
It doesn't taste like anything.
It doesn't have any substance,
it's like water with crunchification
and I don't care about it.
It's not good.
Is that a cauliflower? - It is.
- I don't like that.
What is this?
Oh, people have a ranch moment with this?
Can I drench it?
(fast orchestral music)
I don't like that.
When are you gonna bring me somethin' I like?
This is (bleep) up.
So, I know this is a beet.
We just had a little juice come out.
(intense music)
(spitting) - Okay?
- (groans) It's not good.
I don't like anything so far.
But tomatoes taste like ketchup, so...
Oh, they don't?
They don't taste like ketchup at all?
That's not a thing?
Seeds.
It's okay.
Isn't tomato a fruit?
I've never even had this.
Oh, (bleep). - That's fine.
- Tomato with Italian dressing right here.
Mmm.
Tomato is definitely the top vegetable right now.
The others can choke.
- [Chris] Does that look familiar?
- Mhm, carrot.
Can I use my ranch lifeline?
I feel like I've been using it constantly.
Do you blame me?
Sound off in the comments if you blame me.
I hope I really like these
because hummus is my oxygen right now.
I know that people have a carrot hummus moment a lot,
and I'm hoping to be one of those people.
It's fine.
I'm gonna have a second bite.
Oh, (bleep).
I got cocky.
That's what I get for taking a second bite.
Maybe.
I'm not obsessed with it, it's just plain.
I hope he's bringing me something
that's actually good this time.
Okay.
- [Chris] It's a snap pea.
- Oh, excuse me?
Snap or snack?
Snap, okay.
(crunching)
I don't like that. - What about it?
- It tastes like a tree.
I knew as soon as I bit into that, it's not for me.
Alright, this is cucumber.
It smells fresh and beautiful.
I'm hoping that this deletes any pimple I ever get.
(crunching) (orchestral music)
Mmm, that was good.
That is number one.
Tastes fresh, tastes light, tastes skinny.
My faith in vegetables is temporarily restored.
Is this the same thing only fuglier?
A zucchini literally looks like a cucumber
that just gave up.
I really don't wanna try this.
What do I do?
Oh my God, I'm not gonna like this, Chris.
No, I'm not gonna like this.
You're not listening.
I just, I can't do it.
I honestly can't.
(groans) Don't do this to me.
I'm over these vegetables and their smells
and psychotic looks.
You don't think I'm gonna like it?
It's okay, it's like...
I just think it's 'cause my body...
I'm not used to tasting anything that's from Earth.
Maybe a couple more tries with it, I wind up liking it.
The door's ajar.
I thought we weren't doing anymore.
The producer of this video is bat (bleep) crazy
and wants me to keep trying all this (bleep),
and I'm really over him.
(groans)
(bleep) you, Chris.
(bleep) mushroom.
I wish it was one of the psychedelic ones
that would get me through this video.
Hate the smell of mushrooms,
hate the appearance of mushrooms,
hate when chicken has sauce
that's interacted with mushrooms.
I wanna go home.
Mmm, it's not bad, but I don't know if I'm...
I like it.
It's not offensive at all.
I'm fine with him.
Alright, so why do you have three plates here?
(popping)
I've been given a choice.
I'm gonna go with arugula.
I think arugula also is a sign of wealth and power.
I used to work at a restaurant
and all the rich people with American Express cards
would order stuff with arugula on it.
Should I eat the whole leaf?
Mmm.
Hm.
Okay, arugula was good.
I feel rich.
Another leaf.
This is raw.
I think I like spinach better than arugula.
- [Chris] Whoa.
- Yeah, that was fine.
I'm not having lettuce.
I need a break.
I feel like I just ran a god damn marathon right now.
I did the best I could.
It took a lot.
If you know me from the last video,
you know that this was a big step for me.
So, going forward,
I wanna try I think a salad with cucumbers,
maybe some spinach leaves.
I encourage everyone to step out of their comfort zone
and try something they've never tried before.
And I'm basically vegan now.
(jazzy music)
