- (sniffs) Oh, what is that?
(sniffs) Oh man, that gross.
(sniffs) Ah man, I can't stop.
- That's egg!
- Just pretend it's a really long nipple.
- [Director] Take one, mark.
- Welcome to "Basic to Bougie"!
(Tim cheering)
I'm Darren "Big Baby" Brand.
- (cheering) Darren!
We love you, Darren Brand!
- I'm Tim Chantarangsu.
- (cheering) Tim, Tim.
Tim.
- That's my name.
You know how we do out here,
we try three different kinds of two different foods
and try to determine what is the cheapest, middlest,
and most expensive.
- In fact, on this show
you can find out that some of the most basic food
can be bougie. - What?
- You just blew my mind,
because I was thinking last night in the shower
that's sometimes the most bougie food can also be basic.
- You was thinking about that in the shower?
- Yeah, right after I (bleep) off.
- In the shower? Standing up? - Yeah, sometimes. Yeah.
- That's not safe.
Let's get the basic round started.
- What's the butler's name?
- (bleep) Off.
- Nah, nah. - Okay, okay, okay.
Let's call him Will. - Call him by his real name?
They wasn't suppose to know that.
- Let him speak his truth. Let's call him Will.
- Will. - Will, come on out here.
- Will, pull up.
Anything you want to say, Will?
- [Will] (indistinct).
- [Darren] He don't say much?
- [Tim] No, he doesn't need to.
- Yeah, all right, let's get into it.
What the (bleep) is this?
Tim, why is it shaped like that?
- What is it?
- Oh my God. Is it snake?
Nah, snake wouldn't be basic.
- It's not just a sausage? - Oh, okay.
- Got the hook in it.
- Yep, yep, that's right.
Shout out to the curves. - Curve gang.
(bouncy electro music)
- Now, this.
- I don't know what that is.
Normally I kind of have an idea of what's going on.
- But God. Girth.
- Girthy, yes, that's a girthy boy right there.
- [Darren] And then this.
- How did they even do that? - Looks like a church van.
- Oh, you could hypnotize me with it.
Oh. - Oh.
A sausage.
- Basic to bougie.
All right, and we got some Italian sausage penne.
- I just hope all this is really sausage.
- Oh, who knows what kind of meat it is?
- Right, exactly. Exactly.
Which one you want to go first?
Want to get the sauerkraut out the way?
- Sure.
(upbeat electro pop music)
- Oh, always open your food first,
'cause there's some (bleep) in there.
- What is that?
- I don't know. It smells good though.
That a pepper?
- Oh, it's wrapped in bacon.
- That is bacon on the outside.
Holy (bleep), let's go.
That's sauerkraut.
That egg!
- Egg and sausage and bacon and-
- Lemme tell you something.
Y'all outdid yourself. Had me all shook up.
- Oh my God, that's so good. - It's so good!
- You know what it is.
This is the forsureyourighton.
Sausage wrapped in bacon? (groaning)
- Wow, that's great.
Salty, and that sourness I'm the sauerkraut
is working with the saltiness.
This is great.
It just reminds me of when you get like a really good
bacon wrapped hot dog with the relish on top.
- You're missing out, vegans. You're missing out.
- But you look great.
Wow, this is, that was fabulous.
- That was good, man.
(bouncy trap beat)
- Probably go get some of this pasta.
- Grab a little sausage with it.
It's giving me imitation meat.
- Something is curious. - Something is not right.
- I don't know if it's the flavor of the sauce
or the actual sausage, but something is-
- You just named the whole thing.
- I know, I'm saying I don't if it's this or that.
- Is it sausage though? - It's sometimes sausage.
- Tim, I don't know. - Yeah, I don't know.
- Might just be regular sausage.
Maybe we're overthinking it.
I don't know. Tricky.
- Now how do we do this (bleep)?
- "Lady & the Tramp" style?
(energetic hip hop beat)
- I don't like how that smells.
Did you smell that? - Yeah, yeah.
That is not a good smell.
- He's right. (laughing)
- Why did I smell it first? Now I don't want to taste it.
Bruh, stop smelling it! - I'm sorry.
You know what it smells like.
- It's better in your mouth then outside your mouth.
(everyone laughing)
- Don't ever tell me that sausage is better in my mouth.
(everyone laughing)
- [Tim] It just stays like regular sausage
when you're chewing on it.
- That smell, somebody didn't clean it right.
- So that makes me feel like
this is some kind of weird animal.
- I mean, like that, yeah. - Look at the preparation.
- What did we just eat?
- Who knows. - Holy (bleep).
- That could be (bleep) eel.
- It can literally be anything.
- It could be a snake. - It could be owl.
- Don't say that. Who? - Who?
- That smells though. Damn.
- All right. - Let's rate.
(energetic hip hop beat)
- This has gotta be the most
'cause it have three meats in it.
- And this gotta be the cheapest 'cause it's pasta.
Unless it was a crazy, nah, that's regular.
- I wonder what the (bleep) that is.
'Cause I feel like I'ma be pissed when we find out.
- Watch it just be tofu.
- Stop smelling it. You know, it stinks.
- Yeah, but you know when something stinks
you keep smelling it,
like when you got a smelling on your finger you're like
(sniffs) what is that?
(sniffs) Oh man, that's gross.
(sniffs) Ah man, I can't stop.
(sniffs) Ah!
- What did you do before you- (everyone laughs)
Let's go with the cheapest.
Middlest. Most expensive.
- Yeah. - All right.
- Will. - Come over here, Will.
- You eat meat? Okay. - Yeah.
- Boom!
Sausage and pasta, $5.
Penne and vodka sauce with sausage and broccoli
from a modern Italian grocery.
- Okay. Maybe it was the vodka that was throwing us off.
- Middlest. - What's the animal?
- Pork sausage coil.
- Oh, it's just pork. - It's just pork, the pig.
- They didn't clean it or something.
- Something wasn't right.
Found it a local butcher shop,
enough for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
- Yeah, facts. For the week.
- Cause if a mama throw that in the grill,
you eating that all day.
Gone head and get you some sausage, now.
- You smell it.
- Number three, bacon wrap sausage slammers,
those are $23 apiece,
stuffed with jalapenos and cheddar cheese,
served over sauerkraut made in Texas.
Texas, mane.
- Guess what? We got it right! - What?
- Tim know meat.
- Tim know meats, Darren knows his sausage.
(smooth jazz music)
I'm feeling good.
You good? - I'm good.
- I think the bacon wrap got to me.
- The egg and the cheese.
- We put a lot through ourselves.
- We do. - All right, let's get it.
- Bougie round. - Bougie round!
- Man, I hope it's something good, man.
Just to complete the day.
Will, you good? How's your moms?
- [Will] She's mean to me.
- Most are. - Break up with her.
- All right, man, bougie time.
It's in a plate.
It seems cold. - It is cold.
Ooh.
- Oh God, it broke. - What'd you break?
- Oh, is that popsicle?
- Oh, it smells good. - Is it?
- It's like a freak popsicle.
- Oh yeah, you smell that,
there's a little bit of liquor on there.
- Yeah!
Bruh, you know what I think this is?
I think it's boozy pops. - Boozy pops! Basic to boozy!
Let's get drunk.
Ah, he got stuck on a popsicle to get-
(Tim laughing)
They're trying me this season, bro, they're trying me.
(orchestral music)
For the record, this pisses me off.
- Yeah, you don't like these. - I don't like those, man.
- Who thought of tomato sauce with liquor?
That is such a white people drink.
A Bloody Mary pop? No. - Have a little brunch.
And it has got the nerve to have celery as a stick.
And then it has a lemon with it.
- Oh, and some salt too. - And salt?
Salt does not belong on cold (bleep).
- They shoulda thrown a shrimp on top of there.
- You bout to eat that (bleep)?
Does it smell tomato-y?
- It smells exactly like a Bloody Mary, yeah,
you not gonna like that. - Oh God!
- Damn it. I don't want to do that, man.
Ew, bruh.
(bleep) popsicle on a celery stick.
What will they come up with next?
- It's a Bloody Mary.
- (laughing) You know I don't like Blood Marys, man.
- It's a spicy Bloody Mary.
I'll tell you what, that's not my favorite.
- Is it good?
- If you like Bloody Marys.
- Do you like Bloody Marys? - On occasion.
- Oh, you know what, it's easier to-
(Darren hissing)
Finish, finish, finish.
Yeah, Tim.
Yeah, Tim!
- My teeth. - Nah. Yeah.
- God you're stupid.
Oh God! Now bite the celery.
- Oh God, it's so hard! (everyone laughing)
It's frozen!
I chipped a tooth! - Tooth is bout gone.
- Nevermind, don't do it to yourself.
I'm glad we did that.
Now what's this?
(soft jazz music)
- Darren, be a man and take the whole thing in your mouth.
- No. (Tim laughing)
- Oh my.
Oh my.
Yeah.
- (chuckling) Yeah.
- It's like a strawberry daiquiri pop.
(Tim and Darren groaning)
- Damn.
- But look, look.
To make you feel more comfortable,
just pretend it's a really long nipple.
- If I get a nipple this long I'm running anyway.
(Darren and Tim groaning)
- That's great.
- It's actually real good.
I could eat it like corn at this point.
- There you go.
Tastes like strawberry ice cream.
Wow, that's great. - That is good.
- Boy, you got a technique.
Stop, don't look at me while you do it.
(everyone laughing)
You making eye contact and everything.
I'm so uncomfortable, Will.
He's like, "Yeah."
Don't touch me while you eating a (bleep) popsicle, man.
Tim, (bleep). - Aye, I love you, man.
I swear to God, man.
- It's too late, I'm drunk now, man.
I'm drunk!
All inhibitions out the window,
I love you, man. - Man, get the (bleep) off-
- That's great. - That's great.
- Now what is this?
(soft piano music)
Ooh.
(Darren growling)
(everyone laughing)
- That's the only way?
- That's the only way I can do it, Will.
I got a lot of homies that watch this.
(Tim laughing)
Man, I see you sucking on that popsicle, dog.
I can't have that when I come back to the hood.
- We out the hood now,
you can (bleep) these things all you want.
- No, buddy. (everyone laughing)
That's good though.
Let's do it.
- Cheers, my guy.
(bouncy hip hop beat)
- "Basic to Bougie".
Ooh (bleep).
- Why you made me do that?
- I don't know. - I was enjoying it.
- It was good.
(Tim exhaling)
- Ooh whew!
- You're not supposed to drink champagne like that.
- You're not? - No.
- Is that a rule? - It doesn't feel good.
- It's running through, I'll tell you that.
(Darren growling) (everyone laughs)
- Yeah, tooth gone.
Look, that's what you get!
Let's rate this (bleep).
(bouncy trap music)
I feel like this is the most expensive
just 'cause of that.
That don't seem cheap. - Okay.
(Darren growls)
- Put the Bloody Mary in the middle.
Champagne at the end.
- You think that's the cheapest one?
It got champagne in it though.
- Okay.
Feel like that?
You feel like that's not even the most expensive.
I feel like you know liquor.
- It's hard to say when stuff-
- You're eating a popsicle with your hands.
- Yeah.
- You don't even have to.
- Oh man, yeah, this is tough.
'Cause we don't know what kind of liquor is in each one.
This just tastes like strawberry ice cream.
- Which one you thinking?
I think this could possibly be the most expensive too.
- That's possible 'cause it got the champagne.
I'm down to make Bloody Mary the, yeah.
Yeah, okay.
- Cheapest, middlest, most expensive.
- I'm down for that. - That so? (growls)
- Man (bleep), Will.
Man (bleep).
- [Will] Here you go. (drum roll)
- Wow.
Okay, cheapest. Prosecco popsicle. $9.
- Damn it.
- Grape popsicle in a glass of Prosecco.
The ultimate adult party treat.
Are these for the girls who go to those sex parties?
(everyone laughing)
'Cause it says the ultimate adult party treat.
- It make sense.
Now let's buy some vibrators.
That's what they do at those parties.
- Exactly.
Middlest, Bloody Mary popsicle.
$12 served with celery stick handle.
A new brunch classic. A classic?
Bitch please. Who wrote this and made this up?
All right.
Most expensive, tequila rose popsicle. $16.
Tequila rose blended
with fresh strawberries and Greek yogurt.
Oh (bleep).
- Yeah, we were all the way wrong.
Everything. That's really good.
(Darren and Tim growling) (crew laughing)
- It got tequila in it.
- Delicious. Really good. - Yeah, it's good.
- Damn. You know what though?
I'm not upset as a man that I got popsicles wrong.
- You got the sausages right.
(everyone laughing)
- That's a good one.
Ooh, that's a good one.
Oh, I'm Darren "Big Baby" Brand.
