(Tim laughs)
My brother.
- What's up, y'all?
Welcome to your favoritest show on MTV,
all networks, TV or the internet, "Basic To Bougie."
- Oh, I like it!
- You know what it is.
We try three different kinds of two different foods
and try to determine what is the cheapest,
middlest and most expensive.
- Brother Tim.
- Mm-hmm?
- Sometimes the most basic food can be bougie.
- Really?
- [Darren] Yeah.
- I was gonna tell you that sometimes the most bougie food--
- Mm-hmm?
- Can be basic. - Basic!
I just had flashbacks!
(Tim laughs) I'm fine.
Oh, is you ready to get this basic round started?
- I'm ready, I'm hungry.
- Let's do it, man.
- [Tim] Let's get it.
- My T-shirt's tight.
Let's give him a solid name, man.
What should we give him today, man?
(Tim sighs)
- Justin Valentine.
(both chuckle)
- The real JV.
Big dog, let's get it.
Basic round, man.
You been holding me down?
You know?
You know how I like 'em,
how I like my food.
- [Justin Valentine] All right, well, we'll see.
- That ain't no help.
What is it?
- [Tim] I don't know.
(Tim sniffs)
- Ew.
Is that?
- Oh wait. - Is that?
Get off my hand.
- Oh, it's beef jerky. - Get off of my hand.
- [Tim] Beef jerky? (sound whistles)
- Get off of my hand.
Tim, get off of my hand.
- Is it...
Is it
dehydrated pig feet?
- Is this steak? (buzzer sounds)
Nah, it ain't steak.
It's pizza. (buzzer sounds)
Feel that, that's pie?
It's some kind of.
- [Tim] Oh.
- It's in a triangle?
- Wait. (sniffs)
Oh!
- What's this?
- Is it a quiche?
- [Producer] Yes.
- Oh!
(Darren growls) (Tim chuckles)
- Bro.
(Darren growls)
- [Tim] Darren, give me a quiche, dog.
- Man, get the, get off of me.
- Give me a quiche.
- This is my thing, bro.
Quiche is not...
This can't be basic.
- So, it might be basic because when I was a little kid--
- Mm-hmm.
- My parents used to get a whole box of quiche
from Smashco.
- Y'all had a Smashco account?
- [Tim] Aw yeah.
- Oh, y'all had money.
- Oh, is that bougie?
- I mean, it ain't ballpark.
- Well, no, you go to Smashco
'cause they keep the costs low.
(Darren hoots)
Mm-hmm.
- I'm not excited about this.
Look at that.
That look like all cream cheese.
You see that?
(Tim sniffs)
(tires screech)
- How you sniff...
You not a rabbit.
(Tim sniffs)
You do the jump and everything!
(Tim sniffs)
Boy, please.
- Oh, he smells great!
- Hey, okay, for all you people with they big guys,
when the funk come around it's us.
That's not always us.
- It's not always.
It is most of the time, but not always.
- Whoa! (tires screech)
(upbeat music)
- [Darren] Let's get this one out of the way.
- All right, all right.
Oh, the thick one.
Thickums.
- That's all egg.
- The BBW of the quiche world.
(Darren laughs)
- [Both] I like my quiche BBW! (laughs)
- That's thick, boy.
That's all egg, uh-uh.
- I feel like there's some ham in there.
- Uh-uh, that's too much!
- I expected it to fall apart so much though.
- It's a pie of it.
- Mm-hmm.
- That's too thick.
- I'm full
off that.
Wait, let me get the butt.
(record scratches)
(Tim munches)
(steady music)
- [Darren] Let's try the cream cheese one.
- [Tim] Oh the, yeah, okay.
- That's got to be cream cheese.
Do you think? - That's moist.
Moist and jiggly.
- I'm not excited about this (beep).
- [Kids] Ew!
- Wait a second now.
- I don't know what that is, Tim.
What is that?
Why'd it fall apart like that?
- I think this is tofu.
- Is it?
Hold on, you see what I'm saying?
- (groans) I'll tell you what, that's a big bite of tofu.
- And I'm wondering why I was reacting
the way I was reacting.
- I mean, maybe I'm tripping but...
- I think tofu might just not be good for me.
Why are you still eating it?
- I didn't get the crust.
- Do you like tofu?
- I like tofu when it's fried,
not with this
situation right here. (quiche wibbles)
- That's not gelatin.
(Tim chuckles)
The first two trash.
Let's get into this.
(steady music)
This is giving me some spinach vibes.
- Yeah, there's definitely something
(sniffs) green in there.
(Darren sniffs)
- It's probably something healthy, man.
- Yeah, probably.
- Where is the fried (beep)?
- (chuckles) This is kind of,
it's like a little crispy crust to it.
- Uh-uh.
- It tastes kind of like Mexican flavor. (crunches)
- (groans) Damn.
- Got green, like some green bell peppers in there.
- No man!
Uh-oh. (stomach rumbles)
- [Tim] Yeah, see?
- No, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind, nevermind.
- It's like a little chili relleno vibes.
You know what I'm saying?
(Darren groans)
- Just give me a regular egg sandwich.
- (chuckles) Yeah, I feel that.
Or, a regular tofu sandwich.
(glass shatters)
- No tofu.
- (laughs) No fu!
- No fu!
- No fu.
- No tofu, no fu.
- No fool.
- No tofu, bro. (Tim chuckles)
(swanky music)
- [Tim] How we feeling here?
- This got to be expensive as hell.
- This was, why was this so much?
- Yeah, I don't know.
Hold on, I just wanna try to...
Look at this thing, y'all.
Look at this!
Who was walking around at the table...
- Just take it (crunches).
- Just (growls).
So listen, the other day I was talking to Tony.
(crunches) Who is doing that with this?
(crew chuckles)
No, man.
The tofu?
Tofu is expensive, right, because it's not...
- Yeah, just throw it in there.
- What is tofu?
(Tim sighs)
Uh-oh.
- Soy something. (violin plays)
It's made out of soy something.
That's all I got.
The violin is gonna be short
because I have no idea what's going on with the quiche,
but this is probably like a vegan tofu...
- Oh my God!
I'm gonna put in my contract next season, no vegan (beep).
- (laughs) That's not gonna work.
- Man, have faith.
Which one you wanna do, man?
- No, no, I think this is good.
- You think this is good?
- Yeah.
- First of all, I'm gonna be honest with you,
when it's (beep), I don't like, I don't care.
- Right?
- When it's food I don't like,
line that (beep) up.
Cheapest, middlest, most expensive, like that.
- Let's get it done.
- Oh yeah.
But, food I like,
look at the difference when it's food we like.
We be like, "Nah, I can't get that wrong.
"Let me get at an angle."
- "Okay, but look at the season."
- "Look at it, it's burnt on the side."
- Okay, okay, well,
I like, even though this was the tastiest--
- We should switch that.
We should switch that.
- You think so?
- What do you think?
Now we acting like we care.
- I was just gonna say, this was the tastiest to me,
but if we're thinking the vegan, healthy one
always tend to be a little more expensive,
then I'm down to keep this how it is.
- [Darren] Cheapest.
Mexican quiche.
- Quiche. (lasso whips)
(Darren laughs)
El quiche.

One, two, three, shoot.
I know you.
- Dammit.
- Yeah, you have too many scissors.
Right here, brother.
You wanna try this?

If the white man is saying "You don't wanna eat this,"
you know I'm not going for it.
Come on, now.
All right.
Cheapest, green chili pepper quiche.
$2 per slice "Made with roasted corn, poblano,

$8 a slice "From a renowned French pastry patisserie?"
- [Both] Patisserie?
- Never head of that.
- Nevermind.
Filled with Brussels sprouts, mushrooms,
apple wood smoked bacon and onions.
- That's this one?
- That's this one.
- I don't think we went deep enough
because if you look--
- Oh, I see them, I see the bacon.
- Because, yes, and I couldn't get past all that cheese.
Okay, go discover, Tim.
- I see the bacon.
- Go discover.
- Oh, that's bacon.
It's all right.
- So you went from tofu to all right?
Okay. (Tim chuckles)
Most expensive piece of
roast-ica?
(alarm buzzes) - Rustica.

I know what I'm talking about.
- Mm-hmm.
Quiche, Quiche Cole.

It always has an 'a' on it.

Oh (sniffs).
- [Darren] You picked it up?
- Oh.
- What is this?
Oh, this candy.
Halloween candy.

Because, you know this is what old women keep
in they bags at church.
- The caramels.
- Car-a-mels.
- Car-mels, car-mels.
- Cara-mels.
- Carm-els. - Caramels.
- [Tim] Caramels?
- Now, how they can they mess up candy?
Can vegans eat candy?
- I don't know.
- This ain't bougie!
- Maybe we'll get like a tofu covered,
caramel covered tofu! (laughs)
(candy dings)
- Oh, did you see how hard that was?
- That was weird.
Oh God.
(swanky music)
You know what's weird?
- [Darren] What?
- You know how I always say car-mel and you say cara-mel?
- Cara-mel.
- But, when I'm talking about 'em like this,
I want to say, "Oh, this is a cara-mel."
- Yeah.
- But, when I'm like, "Oh, this is a car-mel cake,"
I wanna say car-mel.
- Car-mel just kind of rolls smoother.
- Car-mel. - Car-mel says,
"I have benefits, health insurance and dental."
- Is that what it says?
(crew chuckles)
- I believe so, like car-mel, you know what I mean?
- Car-mel.
- It's like to pay your bills on time.
Cara-mel, (beep) I might have it, I might not.
I'm cool with all this.
Can I tell you what's already making me mad?
Why is there sauce with popcorn?
(crew giggles)

- [Darren] Uh-oh, uh-oh! - [Tim] I'll tell you why.
Because, get a whiff.
Look, take-- - A whiff of what.
- Take a whiff and take a look.
This is spicy.
- Popcorn is either supposed to be butter or kettle.

You never put hot sauce on popcorn?
- Yes.
(tires screech)
- That's what I'm saying!
(steady music)

Let's try it with the ranch.

- Oh, wait a second, that's...
Wait a second, that's not ranch.
- That's not ranch?
- No, it's bleu cheese.
- (groans) We don't like bleu cheese.
- I like bleu cheese. (crew chuckles)
- I said, "We don't like bleu cheese!"
(Tim chuckles)
But, for some reason, I can't stop grabbing more.
- Man, I just love popcorn.
- I do love popcorn.
(Tim savors)
I can tell you right now.

Because, they got the buffalo sauce.

(Tim laughs)
"Like buffalo wings but with caramel!
(Tim chuckles)
All right, I guess.

I'm like, "Ain't this?" but that's butt--
Only the first time.

That's why there's a north and there's a south.
- No, I get it, I get it.
- Because, you was about to do that.
