0:00 [Music] what's the most exotic meat you you dudes have tried i know you guys are professionals exotically i've tried whale and horse i tried whale whale's pretty good i didn't like i got like whale sushi and then it was uh kind of irony and it just uh so i had the the texture of fish which is very bloody and irony at least the one that i got i don't know if it was mine tasted like um a rare uh filet mignon is it in the form of a steak it looks like steak mine was nigerian milo's nigerian yeah same same but mine had the whale steak that was cooked like a steak oh was that good it feels everything is exactly like steak but then it tastes like fish it's really weird it fits with your mind yeah it does it but was yours purple because this like the meat to me

0:50 mine was like kind of purple it was like purple but it was still it was still like steak ish yeah like red red purple yeah and then the horse i had you could if you didn't say it's horse you can't even tell it just looks like beefy it tastes like beef but it tastes juicier and leaner and then has it's like slightly gamey i thought it was sweeter a little bit i had a ████ pig's head lately i saw you guys off camera yesterday yeah so like we went to this bougie restaurant in vegas and like they brought out a ████ pig's head and it was like super ████ visceral and ████ just the head just the head and like then they like cut the ears off and then oh shutting off the cheek and ████ and like ginsu what kind of restaurant was this like it was like a booze you wanted this area 15 or 51 place oh it's in there yeah it's in there whoa it's like under underneath it or something it's like you have to go downstairs and it's like under are you like oh what the hell yeah uh it sounds

1:41 like my neighbors wanted to go and i was i was just down and then we got there and we're both i mean nikki doesn't even eat meat so she was just like watching [Laughter] and then uh so yeah but then i tried the pig uh cheek and it was you know it tasted like pork pig cheeks are good though it was good but it definitely you know i don't know about you guys but i felt a little bit guilty about it like seeing all that ████ happen like did you feel guilty about eating whale no no in japan yeah so like when i'm in another country i'm just like i kind of like just like submit to whatever the country does so i was just like oh this this is normal for them so i'm just trying whatever they do daily same i was in norway eating the whale which it seemed regular so i was like oh i'm trying their cultural thing versus like yo this is hella wrong everywhere else

2:32 you know what i mean yeah for sure i don't attach morality to taste well some people do so there's a lab-grown meat company now that's immoral primeval foods and they're planning on bringing a whole host of exotic meats to the market including zebra lion elephant and tiger and it's all lab grown all lab grown why do they want to grow those meats people want them but they don't want the ethical responsibility behind it but what happens if like i eat lab-grown tiger and i'm like man this is the best meat i've ever had now i want real tigers yeah what does real taste like i don't think they're counting on that guys i think they're i think i i think they're counting on you guys going let's eat this more it's like for people that already eat it so it's almost like creating a a a sex doll for pedal top pedophiles or something can't they just make sure that they're successful at the i don't know the lab-grown chicken and and fish and like beef first and make sure that everybody's really good people are they

3:23 do have lab grown beef yeah but it's like fully acceptable you know oh like make it a home run first yeah before jumping to exotic animals like elephant and ████ i think these guys want to get want to get their niche market because everyone a lot of people places are working but trying to do that they're they're trying to be the toro of impossible burger you know you ever had zebra before no who's chasing for that though you know zebra like in zimbabwe or something i don't know people want to try weird whatever hipsters want to try that right yes exactly you okay dude this one getting to you allergy attacking my eye or something that's why i said do you want to wait to film are you good i'm good you said you're good stop being a ████ on camera please would you guys eat elephant i thought you said elf real elephant would you eat mouth or they don't look tasty ethically sourced lab grown i

4:14 would i would eat everything except dog yeah i would eat dog too you'd eat dog why were you everything period yeah that's true it just depends on the scenario like i'm not gonna go like uh like let's say go looking for a dog in america but if a dog was trying to eat you then that's your only choice to buy them back no like if i was like uh i don't know in some country where that's normal and then they have you like perfectly raised yeah they're like ethnically raised whatever i would try it but i wouldn't like seek it out you know you know what's funny an ethically raised dog is a regular dog what about a coyote would you eat a coyote i would have a good boy salad cheese like with elephant if uh if they didn't kill the elephant for me and they already killed it just sliced it and then they're like ding dong come on over i'm like oh i guess i'll try some elephant because you know we used

5:04 to eat like ████ woolly mammoths that was like a pretty big thing for humans well when you said we i was like when well some scientists had wanted a couple back in the day yeah they found the mammoth intact in the ice and they like heated up part of it and they all tried it and they said it tastes like ████ i think with like things like a dog or a cat that we've already built domesticated relationships with there's like definitely that emotional weirdness but like um things like elephant which obviously i haven't had like a one-on-one relationship with one it's definitely a degree removed i don't see another dog that's nyc my dog though jesus part when i see another dog you just don't be looking at my my dog i get hungry around to the dog that dog looks like the dog is my family and then the other dog is somebody

5:54 else's family that you're going to eat everybody bring their dog around be a rib eye steak bart tries to ████ order their dogs so you can eat the doodle with noodles you would go eat at the at that restaurant at the top of the protector with tony john what are some animals you guys find cute but you still eat the ████ out of this baby chick i guess we don't eat it as a baby well in a balloon i guess we need chicken nuggets probably i think ostriches are disgusting creatures and they should be yeah i agree peacocks i eat the ████ out of a pizza oh yeah i need a peacock imaginable uh ostrich egg omelette look how big that thing is that seems gross though there's too much egg i think yeah too much yolk i could make a pizza the ratio is a little heavy yeah a lot of things i feel like ducks are cute as ████ but i can't resist eating the ████ ducks are delicious they're so cute i know oh like frog is really good

6:44 oh see i like frogs too i feel weird about eating frogs though it's ugly dude i feel weird about eating like because just looking like a frog leg yeah you know what surprisingly good was live octopus i was shocked man i was like that ████ looks so garbage man that ████ looks like ████ hentai porn right it's weird though when you like put it in your mouth but it's still like such wrapping your lips yeah but you're just like oh you know what this this is like taiwanese cartilage ████ you know have you done that no i haven't but i was just thinking like every animal on the planet right whether it's aquatic or mammal like some culture eats that thing right or has in the past they have to survive often right so there's there's a way to respect eating anything because you just think of the people that this is their culture yeah but if a new animal got discovered or just recently came out would you be curious and want to eat it and be one of the first as long as it's not in the pixar movie yet yeah yeah

7:34 it's not my first instinct to be like oh i want to eat that ████ but it's like a ████ eyeball guy from monsters i need the ████ out mike what's cute so we originally discovered these eyeball guys i have no curiosity for eating monkey too close to human i like them too i like them too much they're my favorite animal in the whole world i enjoy monkeys that's really your favorite animal oh yeah what kind of monkey any kind of chimpanzee dude i ████ love chimpanzees so you would never eat a chimp head never i would cry i remember watching this dude he went into the jungle and like he went hunting with his tribe and then they got like a ████ ████ toucan sam they got like whatever they got this monkey right and then they made this big pile of fire and they were cooking them and they're like because you are the guest you could have anyone do you want you know and they're like oh ████ ████ maybe i'll i'll get

8:26 this like ant eater or something or they're like a like a chicken looking bird you know they're like and then all the dudes were clowning them like you didn't pick the monkey this ████ idiot dude because the monkey's the most delicious one that's probably like one of the best ones you clowned about that yeah you didn't eat the monkey ████ idiot got the bird you know if i if someone made fun of me like that i'll be like man ████ you i'm telling you the monkey then just don't make fun of me like bart i think i'm i'm very open to like trying things uh from whether it be a cultural experience to just in general just like the uh one try everything once you know what i mean would you eat not a he not a human but the um operationally extracted tumor of a human why would you eat their garbage still meat i would well if if like a village that had like survived

9:17 like so much ████ and said that actually eating that has some other spiritual or blah blah blah thing then maybe like it has to be tied to something of like why can't it just be for taste it's the guy who has like gigantism on his balls oh yeah elephantitis yeah dude bart this whole video is ████ amazing bart would you try a newborn no way okay we found the ████ line we found but a senior citizen he'll eat the ████ out of because i was thinking about monkeys too and i'm like dude i don't know so because i put myself in a situation let's say i'm stranded on the island right and then um i'm hungry as ████ that's that's not fair you need anything and then i made a spear and i let's say i've been alone for a whole week and then i finally see my first meet which is a monkey and it's curious george bro i'm like do i do i now make friends with it so that so we have a buddy for the

10:08 for my rest of my life i love her or do i kill him i think he'll befriend him first because if he can survive you could probably eat the stuff easy you just gotta follow him help you find food so i don't think i would eat monkeys but i will also say anything in survival mode is ████ game on fair game because like at the end of other humans in survival have been able to like cannibalize in order for survival and it's just like that is what it is like i think you would eat a you throw a spear out of baby you're on an island and then you need to what do i need to throw a spirit of baby for it's a wild baby though they could kill a baby much easier yeah it could be it could be one of those baby geniuses yeah they're swinging it might end up on one of those girders you know in new york if it's a baby genius i'm going to end up slipping and falling and tripping and getting tied up somehow it could be a look who's talking baby it's stewie so showing the event of like

10:58 you were on an airline commercial flight that crash and then they're all deciding who to eat like the soccer team in ████ brazil yeah and some lady had a newborn that was kind of like you know obviously not gonna survive you would choose you'd select that as the first i wouldn't eat it until the mom was willing to eat it i would ████ ditch that crew and wait for them to ████ implode and kill each other i'm gonna pretend to be as noble as possible in that situation it's kind of like if there's a baby a ████ woman and then myself it's like ████ dude like it's always women and children should survive first right so it's like yo well i thought you could turn to the stepdad yeah that would be a good move that's honestly the right move that's the walking dead move that's where you go that's the right answer and then try to gain custody then eat the bigger boys away so i'm eating my own so it's not really like murder do you just guess later i mean i'd look for a banana

11:48 before that but or or can you imagine what if you felt what if you saw that later after you ate the baby oh ████ banana tree oh god but i hate bananas what hotel buffet's right there thanks to syntax though if if you are going to be the first guy to pitch cannibalism you can just be like all right let's eat that chick right there and then everyone's like yo that's ████ up and i'll start my inner ████ [Laughter] can't use that joke again [Music]

12:38 you [Music]
