I just saw a couple have a go at 5 goats nuts...I almost puked. They did it for $100 bucks and didn't finish in time...That was almost as gross as playing tackle football with a pig's head...Anyone else see the show?
I didn't see that one... but some of those people are crazy on that show! I know money is important but I would never do some of the things on that show!
Kam from the BBS here was on one of the original two shows they did of that during spring break. I don't much care for it - just goes to show what people will do for money.
Dude, Kim's story wasn't as bad as some I've seen lately. His was some guy paid like 250 bucks to drink a foot margarita out of kim's shoe. Well..now that I think about it...that is pretty horiffic.
I don't think I ever told the long version, so here it is: He paid $108, but it was mostly his friends pitching in on the money. That didn't make it any better though. It was in Cancun during spring break March 2002. I was eating a late lunch with my buddy at this semi-open-air mall next to our hotel. After finishing and on our way back to the hotel, I noticed a crowd gathering and a bunch of people in orange jumpsuits with camera equipment. I asked one of them what was going on and they said that they were about to film a game show for MTV and you could make money. I didn't really care for it, but half of my buddies were already broke, so I ran to hotel to wake them up hoping that they would participate. When it came time to start filming the host, Jive Jones, wanted someone to lend his shoe. He was picking out really expensive cool looking shoes at first, but none of the guys he asked wanted to do it. Then he wanted like something weird, like really ugly shoes or really big shoes. Brent wears a size 19 and wanted to do it, but he had his flip flops on. Bret, who I had lunch with, was asked to do it by the host cause he has like size 17 shoes, but he wouldn't do it...I was like WTF man?! They're just New Balances, and kinda old too. Anyhow, not wanting to let this opportunity go to waste, I volunteered my shoes. He was offering $30 to borrow one. Jive really didn't want mine because they just looked normal and weren't weird in any way. So this other dude steps up and says he'll do it too, and he's a chubby bigger white guy with bigger and uglier shoes...so Jive wanted to use his, but since I was already up there, the producers and Jive decided to have a sort of a worst-smell contest. So this is where it starts to get real good or bad depending on what you find funny. Coincedentally, that was the first day in like a month that I wore socks with those shoes. I had athletes foot and was at the time treating it with mexican lotramin. I ref basketball in those shoes. I've walked through mud....I just wipe the outside every once in a while to make it look decent. A couple of days before that, my sandals tore up when I was shopping at the Mercados in downtown Cancun, so I walked barefoot for a while...and all that dirt was transfered to my And 1 shoes that evening cause I didn't wear socks as usual. So when they made this chick smell both shoes, my buddies and I were the only ones who knew what she was in for. I proudly raised my arms up in victory as she was smelling my shoe (she did the other dude's first) because I knew she would not be able to withstand the most horrible rancid odors she ever encountered. Classic moment. Anyhow, they start to fill my shoe wit all this "I Bet You Will" brand crap: sauces, spices, mixes, etc. And the host is asking around to see who will drink it. A few people step forward and the usual routine of driving the price up begins. But then a few more people come in and start offering to drink that crap for less. And so started the downward trend. One guy kept on going lower than the other and finally all this dude's friends pitched in and they came up with a pot of $108 to PAY TO MTV to drink from my shoe. It was one of the most idiotic and astonishing things I've ever seen. You'll have to see it for yourself to believe it. I think Johnny Rocket still has the clip on his website. the direct link is www.losttexan.net/kim.wmv I think it's about 3 minutes long. I also have some pictures of the cast and me mixed in my spring break pictures. You can see them at photos.yahoo.com/kmx03 Overall it was pretty cool...a good bar story you know. Even though I agreed to $30, I ended up with $40 cause the guy didn't have smaller bills. I only paid $35 for that pair anyways. The whole thing took like 20 minutes, but they cut me out as much as possible hehe. They kept on filming my reaction shots to when they were putting that crap in my shoe, but I was pretty apathetic, not playing to the camera like Jive wanted. And when people were wagering on drinking it and all, I was telling my athletes foot story to one of the producers and trying to tell all those psycho kids not to drink it...but that New Jersey kid is just crazy. Many that Jive guy is like always pysched and high or something. I thought it was an act, but the producer told me he's always like that. Anyhow, it was fun, and I'm already looking forward to next year. Oh yeah, I don't know what the heck is specifically doing it, but the shoe still reeks today, but like a fish smell, not foot smell. And no matter how many times it's cleaned, there still some oil that comes out. That's messed up.
this show is a great way to ruin an appetite! i've been eating a snack while watching a few times, then had to throw away my food after seeing some of the crap people do for a lousy $100! get a job! yuck!
For the ultimate take on this sort of thing, go rent the Peter Sellers film "The Magic Christian." (Granted, in 1969 it was supposed to be SATIRE)
