Hey guys, Matt, Mike. Good news, York. Back at
the fair. Having a great time. It's awesome.
You can feel the energy. You can. I would say
it's obviously busier than yesterday, but you
can feel the excitement. The energy is palpable.
It is palpable, baby. It's great. I love it.
You've already got your wine slushie, which is
fantastic. I told the wine slushie guy here that
I had been in the... for a solid five minutes,
didn't have a wine slushie yet, I had to fix
that. They need to actually move the wine slushie
booth closer to the entrance gates. Or just closer
to you. That would be my suggestion for the fair.
I agree. I mean, look, you go on vacation, you
know you gotta pack sunglasses and sunscreen,
you know you gotta pack wine slushies. That's
your thing. I don't pack anything, they have
them here. Right. It's actually a law. If you
step foot on the state fair property, not even
for the state fair, As I've proven a few times
now, you must purchase a wine slushie. 100%.
I love that that's your thing. Everybody's got
a thing, you know? I do. Yeah, wine slushies
are your thing. It's cool. I would love a wine
slushie booth to maybe sponsor us, so I'd maybe
get a free wine slushie from time to time, you
know? I mean, either that or you're going to
go broke and those things are expensive. I mean,
I might. It's fine. Mike, what are we going to
see today at the fair, buddy? Well, here's the
thing. This is what I love about the fair. You
don't know what you're going to see. I mean,
you know the staples, rides, games, all that.
Yeah. But this is a great New York State Fair.
We're going to see a lot of things. Yeah. I'm
newly gluten -free. It's not that bad, actually,
and it's been great for me, old tummy. But it's
tough to find it, you know? And you don't want
to be that guy out at restaurants going, we're
gluten -free. But what's great about the New
York State Fair, they have an app, and it filters
the gluten -free options. So I'm going to show
the gluten -free peeps at home. some of the best
gluten -free food here at the Great New York
State Fair. You don't even know what gluten is.
You don't even know what gluten is. I don't know
what fucking gluten is. So I feel bad for my
gluten -free peeps, because I used to make fun
of them. When I used to work at a restaurant,
I'd say, everyone thinks they're gluten -allergic.
No. And then I ended up being gluten -allergic.
It is. We're going to find the best of that,
and then we're just going to get into some hijinks.
We're going to talk to the people. That's it.
That's it. Shenanigans. Tomfoolery. Just a bunch
of ne 'er -do -wells walking around getting into
some hubba -vooloo. It's gonna be a shindig.
It sure is. Let's do it. Alright. Wow. So you're
just gonna dive head first. I like this. Yeah,
don't mind me. Do you think we can take this
to one of the... Deep -fried people and see if
they'll deep fry your wine slushie. I guess you
can't do that The lyrics of this song are amazing
actually if you think about it What if God was
one of us just a slob like one of us it really
is? very underrated lyrical song from the 90s
God is good Yeah. Yeah. Wine slushies are good.
Yeah. Yeah. What do you think? Let's go. Here
it is. And when the boss is happy, everyone's
happy. I don't eat wild game. It's just a personal
preference. But if I was going to, it wouldn't
be from the fair. I'm worried about Matt. I mean,
look at the menu. It looks like you're Picking
out a prize. Gator, kangaroo, elk, wild boar.
No, you're gonna eat it. Camel? Is that real?
I just noticed camels on there. Who eats a camel?
You know what's a strange, strange thing about
culture and society? Like, why am I okay? I'll
eat pork, turkey, beef, chicken, right? Some
fish. But for some reason, I draw the line. I'm
not gonna eat duck, I'm not gonna eat gator.
I just, I can't, I don't know why it's okay to
chew on a cow with me, but I can't do it to a
gator or a kangaroo or, I don't know. All right
guys, it's Matt and Mike here at the State Fair,
trying out some different foods. And we found
a booth, a food booth, that sells sticks, a very
interesting kinds of meat. Dude. And we approached
them and said, you know what, we got to try that
and found out they also sell this same meat in
jerky form, which is a little smaller. We figured
it was a little easier to sample. So we, or at
least I, am going to try some of these things.
Quick preview of what we got on deck. There is
elk, buffalo, camel, alligator, ostrich, and
kangaroo. This is ridiculous. Kangaroo has to
be the last one. What one do you want me to try
first? I think you should start with the most
normal and work your way to the weirdest, but
that's subjective. So I don't know, I guess start
with the elk. Alright, hold that. Here's the
thing. Are you gonna try the elk? I guess. I've
been known, when I was on the road with my band,
whenever we would, or even with my family when
we're on vacation, if we stop at a gas station,
my go -to is always beef jerky. I love gas station
beef jerky. This is next level. All right, so
Matt's trying, what do you got, the elk? Mm -hmm.
What's the verdict? Tastes like jerky. It's good.
Flavorful, it's like a good piece of jerky. Okay,
fuck it, I'll do it. We'll do it live. You can
take a not piece like that off if you want. It'll
fucking go all in. Oh. Yeah. Just tastes like,
it's good. All right, all right, okay. Next up
is smoked buffalo. All right, I've had bison
burgers. Go bills. Yeah, I've had bison burgers.
It's a very lean meat very much like steak So
I would imagine this will taste just like beef
jerky as well Buffalo is a tough motherfucker.
I'll give him that just like the bills Okay,
I should have saved my doctor Pickled pepper.
You seriously got rid of your drink already?
Yeah. Okay. So, alright, the buffalo... It's
got a lot more flavor to it, but it is smoked.
It's got more flavor. You get a lot of smoke,
but for the most part, it's like a beef jerky.
Camel. I don't know about this. I really don't
know about this. Camel. I like it. Do you taste
a difference? It's a little more tender than
the others. Oh, there's a little. Watery. Don't
they hold a lot of water in their humps? Yeah,
I don't know. I don't know about all that, but.
I can't believe it's got a little like afterspice.
It's good, but not overpowering. OK, that's probably
more about the seasoning than the camel itself,
but it is more tender. Yeah. I can't believe
I'm eating a damn camel. I just noticed camels
on there. Who eats a camel? Next thing we've
got, we're stepping it up now. I don't know.
This is alligator. I don't know about this. And
it's Cajun style, they say. So I'm thinking there's
gonna be a little bit of a little bit of kick
to this one, too. Yeah. What do you think? You
gonna do it, buddy? I think PETA is gonna destroy
us. Why would they do that? They don't like alligator.
They're not cute. You know, I've kissed you like
four times, technically, because I keep biting
where you bit. What do you got? I'm concerned.
Well, it's chewy. OK. I've had Gator before.
Gator's chewy. It's not bad. I believe Amanda
described Gator as fishy chicken, which if I
didn't hate Gator before, I hate it now. Fishy
chicken. Yeah, but in this context, they got
some seasoning on it to make it a little more
beefy. So it's maybe not quite as fishy chicken.
Fine who's keeping it in? No, it's fine. That's
good. It's great if you're Normal me. I just
I I have a hard time with gamey meats. All right
If I don't picture that as Gator, I'm fine. Remember
the duck wings Yeah, those were phenomenal. They
were phenomenal, but I couldn't I was scared.
This is beef and ostrich I don't even know so
You got half of an animal. You normally you were
right I'm getting a hint of fish. Whoa. Ostrich
and beef mix? This might be my favorite bit so
far. Not me. Beef and ostrich. Bostridge. Ostief.
Mmm. Oh, we got a mmm out of them. That might
be my favorite one so far. Really? I think you're
gonna like it better. Maybe. You might hate it.
Oh my god. There's a lot of flavor. So it's got
that dark beef taste and there's like this sweet,
you know what I'm talking about? Yep. There's
like a sweet thing over top of it. Oh wait for
it. I'm assuming that's the ostrich. Wait for
it. Wait for what? Just wait for it. Oh no. It
tastes like the hay that an ostrich would step
on. At the end. It's starting to more remind
me of ostrich shit to be completely honest with
you. I was into it to begin with. No, I can't
do that one. It's all downhill from here. Not
disgusting. It's not for me. Kangaroo, it's the
last one. Spicy sweet thing takes over and then
ostrich shit is on the finish. Alright, this
one really bothers me. I'll never be able to
- Was it avoid the ostrich? I'm just gonna -
Did you ever see kangaroos fight real people?
That shit's awesome. Yeah, let's see if they
taste like it. Yeah, they taste muscular. Oh
yeah. Oh. Oh yeah. Kinda boring, I'm not gonna
lie. I like plain. A dingo ate my baby! Oh? See,
I don't think it's strong of any flavor really
kind of surprised There's some sort of weird
you're doing a second Fucking heathen I Mean
it's fucking weird I'll probably never purchase
this again Matt probably has a big game hunting
room at home, and I didn't even know about it.
No, I'm not into that. Well, I will say this.
Everything was good. For people that aren't weird
like me with the gamey meats, it's fantastic.
But I'm going to be completely honest. There's
a reason that chicken, beef, and pork have been
staples of meat from the beginning of time. As
much as I like some uniqueness, you stick with
the... Let's go get some farm animals. All right,
I'm in. Oh, wow. I can dream record myself doing
this. It's my dream. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely.
It's one thing I love in this world is goddamn
Oreos. No. No. No. I mean, those are a little
Top Gun -ish. What? Top Gun -ish? Yeah. I don't
hate them. I mean, those are just a darker version
of the other pair. I feel like you're drawn to
that style. You should just grab it. I mean,
those aren't bad. Classic. Those are good. All
right, so Matt and I stopped at Fair Deli. I
probably would have stopped anyway. I have to
see what this Dr. Pepper pickle drink is. Our
friends at Visit Syracuse. Posted a video yesterday
trying it. So when I saw the sign great job friends
at visit Syracuse. It worked We're gonna we're
gonna try it ourselves as well as I think Matt
ordered a couple pebble pops I guess it's like
fruity pebbles in a corndog. We're gonna see
we're at the fair. All right, so we got some
Incredible fair food. Yeah You seem to have a
beverage with a pickle stuck in it. Yeah, like
I said, I saw our friends from visit Syracuse
trying this dr. Pepper Pickle. All right And
from Fair Deli right here in Syracuse. Fair Deli,
who we love. So let's go for it. Yeah. All right.
Here we go. That is absolutely awesome. And I'm
not just saying that you got to. All right. So
I got to try. This is that is intense pebble
pop. This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever
seen. Hold that, buddy. Yeah, I got you. It's
a cheese stick. covered in pebbles. Pretty pebbles.
I'll catch your pebbles. Find you a friend who'll
catch your pebbles. You don't really have to.
We're outdoors. That's true. What's the review?
Damn, guys. Are you getting floral notes? This
is the most ridiculous combination of things.
It's awesome. Right? I feel like we're in that
age now. Like, what a time to be alive, where
people are taking two... great things that you
wouldn't put together and creating these like
somebody. Somebody from that company must smoke
pot because you can't have a menu as glorious
as this without being. I mean, it's amazing pickles
and Dr Pepper fruity pebbles and mozzarella.
It's that sweet and savory. That's what it is
incredible. You're incredible. Let's get a pickle
though. So for me it's. Oh my god. You gotta
stand up. It's like this nice hit of the Dr.
Pepper and then the salty pickle -ness takes
over and blends and you get hit in the back of
the throat with like that salt. Oh my god. Anyone
else want to try them? This makes me want to
listen to Kid Rock and shave my head. Are you
scared? These seats are way more comfortable
than I thought. That's rare. Feels so cool. And
this gentleman who's a real man said that was
pretty good. When I was in Nashville, I got a
nine -something. No lie. Really? I need to hear
him say this. Go ahead. Yeah, 60 and above is
kind of uncommon. 15 below is really common and
good, but 60 and up is... I'm going to play this
moment for my wife over and over to show her
how manly I am. Thank you. Oh, thank you so much.
My bracelet fell off. Thank you. I'm in my 40s.
I have IBS. I've got all sorts of problems. What
if I wanted to join the military? Do you guys
accept any age? We do, actually. So how it works
is you would have to talk to your local recruiter
because every area is different. But for here,
if you wanted to actually learn where to join
and how to join, you would just scan this barcode,
and it will send you to our website. Wow. Thank
you so much for complimenting me, but more importantly,
thank you for serving our country. It's the most
honorable and admirable thing anybody could do,
and we appreciate it. Thank you. Thank you for
your support. Thank you. This gluten -free world
is new to me. It's not as bad as I thought, except
for the fact that it's very hard to find options.
I want to thank the New York State Fair. Jalila
Fave, I'm going to call you out because you're
the director. I want to thank her personally.
I want to thank you personally for giving up
gluten -free filters. Seriously. For anyone that's
gluten -free, it's such a pain in the ass. I
love this feature of the app. All right, so if
I'm reading this right, the first one close enough
to where we're standing is right over there.
Let's go check it out. Let's go. Danny's backward
walking skills are unparalleled. Dude, it's amazing.
Danny, you are a crack photographer. Who knew?
So if we rewind this, he'll be moving forward.
I didn't realize we're sort of giving Danny flashbacks
from his days of working for the local news channel.
He used to have to do this, but with a much heavier
camera. Yeah, and much more seriously. And that
is why we're going to find out tonight. All right,
so on my gluten -free journey, for those of you
gluten -free folks out there, a couple things
I'm knocking out in one shot here. First of all,
Sausage and Peppers is a great gluten -free option.
It was on the gluten -free map on the New York
State Fair app. But someone asked me recently,
You know, what is the ultimate fair food for
you? And you know, of course, there's the fried
dough, the funnel cakes, the pizza cone, but
I cannot shake it. I always come back to sausage
and peppers as my personal favorite fair food.
And I will admit, without the bun, because I'm
gluten free, that's a sad, sad little sausage,
but it's not about the size. because it's so
good every time. Even when you don't have a pepper,
you still taste the pepper. It's just great.
I love it. All right, Matt, this looks, I mean,
five -star quality. What do you got? Well, here's
the thing. This is what I came to the fair for,
honestly, not just to make great content. This
is a lobster roll from Cudson's Maine Lobster.
Oh, my God. So I watch Shark Tank religiously.
They're one of the biggest success stories from
the show. That's awesome. They got a bunch of
different options. I went with the classic main
which is the cold with mayonnaise They also have
the hot with butter. They got a bunch of different
options, but so wait is that? Would you call
that a sandwich or would you just call that like
it's its own thing like a lot? Well, you know,
they call it a lobster roll which almost leads
me more almost like a sub but it's not on a sub
It's kind of on a hot dog bun sort of in a hot
dog bun. Can we show the kid? Look at this? Look
at this thing, man That is I mean, holy schnike
You're saying it's not a sandwich? I don't know.
I kind of think it is. It is incredible. Yeah,
well it looks incredible. Really good. We need
two ways out. We need two ways out. Two ways
out. Boom boom boom. Two ways out. Boom boom
boom boom. All right, Matt, we are outside the
Sweet Praxis and I'm gonna try out the gluten
-free cookie option here because I love chocolate
and I love sweets and that's what they have.
And thankfully they have a gluten -free option,
so I'm gonna, I'm gonna get creative. They're
making them right here, bro, look at this. How
cool is this? This is awesome. Look at that.
There ain't nothing fresher than that. Bloop!
It's a cool machine they got going there too.
Yeah, man, it's just pooping cookies out, dude.
It's great. I want one of those. That is amazing.
Want some? I've had it a million times. I bet.
Oh my god. Can I get a picture of your dough,
though? How much is this? $1? No, I don't know.
Well, maybe. Yeah. Yeah. this was like 350 maybe
five actually this is five money's no object
when it comes to this my friend We are live from
the just finished canine show. It's wild. Here
at the Great New York State Fair. It was awesome.
The dogs have a giant pool to jump in, which
I really would like to jump in as well. I was
jealous. Yeah. It looks awesome. I think they
could win AGT, because I feel like every year
America's Got Talent, if you got a dog show,
you're going to win. People love dogs. Hey, they're
doing it up. What's not to love about dogs? They're
doing a great job. All that fun right here at
the fair. Yeah. Hey, guys. It's Matt. I'm here
at the fair. I don't ever want to hear anybody
complain about having to spend a lot of money
at the Great New York State Fair. I'm here with,
I think, the best value dollar hot dogs, guys.
Dollar glizzies. All day long, right over here
at the West End Bar and Grill. We're kind of
the back side of the Expo Center, right by the
gate, depending on which way you came in. This
is the place to go. They got seating. They got
cheap, very good food. Come to the fair. Have
fun. Don't break the bank. Anybody want a glizzy?
Hey, guys. Welcome to the Great New York Steak
Fair. Welcome. Just kidding. We're leaving. Yeah.
But it has been a great, fun -filled day. It's
been a great, fun -filled couple days with you
guys. And I'm sad because I'm going on vacay.
Right. So I'm going to miss the rest of the festivities.
But I'll be checking in from Rehoboth Beach.
You're going to be the guy leaving angry comments
that we're revealing things, aren't you? Absolutely.
The whole time, I'm going to go, well, this would
have been great if I could have saw it myself
and you didn't ruin it for me. You ruined it
for everything. Yeah. But yeah, we had a great
time. We tried a bunch of food. A ton of food.
You had some gluten -free food. Yeah, and I can't
wait to go home and tell my wife I ate camel
today. And what else? I feel like she might hit
you for that. She might hit me for that. Elk,
Gator, you had me eatin' some weird shit, man.
I'll give you credit, buddy. You really trooper'd
up and gave it a shot. I did it for the show,
man. I did it for you. I had to face my fears
of eating things other than pork and chicken
and beef. Boy, did we. I mean... That's what
was on the label, but how do we really know?
I have a feeling it's beef and they just dressed
it up. You know, they're just like, this is sort
of spoiled, so we'll just call it a different
animal. You know, here's some camel. I've never
heard of anyone eating camel. I didn't even know
that was a thing. That's why we did it. I know,
I know. I also like that we're doing our outro
for the day at the Welcome. It's funny that you
just cut on to the first thing that I said. No,
I heard you.
