Alternative idea for the dating show that isn’t so constrained by relationship status: A friendship dating show. Just matching up people you think should be friends and seeing who hits it off.

[@francescafernandez2417]

This also actually works for rainie/anyone who’s a recent transplant!

[@LoveCrumb]

CUTE!

[@Maguire708Julie]

YES! Making friends (outside of work/parenting) as an adult is soooo hard!

[@vivzz97]

😊😊

[@preshyp]

I would sign up for this

[@casiecarlson3412]

I would be totally down for more "the making of"/"behind the scenes" content like this! This podcast falls into my top 5 favorite episodes for this show!

[@MommaNic95]

Yes absolutely!!

[@MommaNic95]

Everyone loves to hear about how you guys do it all!

[@breejeanne]

YES ON THE DATING SHOW FOR RAINIE!!!!

[@MayaDT1010]

pleaseeee

[@amandakesterson224]

I'm ready for this!

[@mallmama6416]

My pitch for the new dating show. It’s a competition matchmaker contest between the Try Guys. Each Try Guy is assigned a single employee who wants to participate. The Try Guys meet all the casting call contestants and interviews them. They then select the best match for their assigned employee. All the couples go on dates, and the most successful pairing wins for themselves, and their Try Guy matchmaker!

[@TheShauNanigans]

How would you decide who is the most successful pairing if both couples decided they aren't interested or if both couples are actually really into each other?

[@rachelhogan9588]

This is such a cool concept, but the last thing Try Guys need right now is another HR nightmare😂

[@jennayynunya3171]

Love this idea. I bet some of the kinks could get worked out and make this a real thing!

[@HayleySmithPhotography]

Based on Desiree being on the pod, here’s my ideas for Try Guys Desiree teaches the guys rugby (maybe wives against guys) Desiree and team do BTS of Keith’s variations of ETM Desiree produces Try Women explore different hairstyles and colors that suit them!

[@courtney1629]

Jonny would be INCREDIBLE on a dating show guys.

[@LoveCrumb]

literally my first thought. Joyce and Rainie too!

[@courtney1629]

@@LoveCrumb Yes! It would be so good.

[@SarahTheSassy71]

@25:41 hi! 👋 I'm one of the ED girlies who GREATLY benefits from Keith doing ETM. Thank you AGAIN ❤ Love how proud of your boy you are Becky; it's well-deserved :')

[@traceyleonard9175]

Stoked to hear that Smoke Show is still alive! Looking forward to those episodes

[@jmason1770]

Zach hinted about it in an IG. If it's going to be on YT, it will have be heavily edited. Otherwise, YT will demonetize it.

[@Carmen-kh8gm]

Rainie.....vs... .Johnny dating series.

[@amandamccourt5377]

Becky! Don’t be afraid to travel with a baby! It’s so much easier than people say and will open your world and his world so much!!

[@rebella8898]

I like that y’all give people the option to work from home on weed days. I definitely would be working from home. I’m so allergic to weed it’s not even funny.

[@Filangie11]

Babies can get passports. We went and got it on the same day. We took his pictures at home and printed them on a 4x6 in Walgreens to save money and take options. They accepted them and he was super happy on his passport. We traveled with him at 3 months and he was great in the airplane on his carrier with dad. I can see Eat the Menu International, I would love to see that!

[@kristinacosic574]

I think she meant like “who will travel and take care of this baby while traveling” not that the baby can’t get a passport lol

[@Filangie11]

Haha. That’s what I get for pumping for the baby, listening to the podcast, and answering emails at the same time. I agree. Our baby is 5 months old and just taking any type of big trip like that takes much more planning. I’m like “who’s watching the baby while I go have dinner or try to have some adult time”.

[@LoveCrumb]

Joyce, Jonny and Rainie dating show pllleeeeaaassseee!!!!

[@mrsannheng]

Love hearing the behind the scenes of ETM! As a restauranteur, I can totally understand from both ends how having people coming in to film can be a great thing as well as a "bad" thing. Depends on the restaurant, size, staff, time, etc.

[@harperwolf8745]

I want a dating show for Rainie where a different boy (or whoever ♥️) brings her lunch to the office every day

[@honoluluw]

help I've never heard matt laugh like he did at 55:20 😭

[@pressleypressnicolely6641]

The best ep, I looooove all the behind the scenes and real talk about the try guys series and behind the scenes!

[@TheShauNanigans]

Better Help ad is 16:55 to 18:05 in case you don't want to listen.

[@serensighs]

Thank you!

[@melissaw3020]

Eat the Menu in Mexico City!! Shorter flight, cheap(er) but delicious food, great city to visit

[@EkaterinaDirko]

35:45 The try guys collabed with Jolly before, they could show you around London. Or you could take a trip to Korea with them.

[@momedusa]

red fades but it NEVER goes away

[@spiercephotography]

What a great listen, i love hearing these behind the scenes of what goes into the series!

[@amanda5nicole]

Love the insights from one my favourite series!! Also, Désiré's hair colours are always awesome!! 💖💚

[@Ayeebeckyy]

Not them loving on JoJo Siwa 😭😭

[@honoluluw]

so excited to listen to this i literally was just wondering if there was a pod ep about eat the menu!

[@TheFullHayShowVlogs]

The British show Becky mentioned isn't just on KZbin - its on one of our main TV stations. Its called First Dates!

[@Iwant2baunicorn]

This was such a good episode!!! I am so interested in the production behind everything!!

[@Sakana_Ren]

Stop me if you've already done this. Eat the Menu at international airports. Some of them are meh, but others are actually quite decent.

[@sparkleandspunk]

More of this! I’m pretty over the just reading reditt and ranking things

[@rachaeltubbs2294]

This is my new fave episode!!! More Desiree!!

[@amandahayes2306]

Haven't had a day off in months to just sit with you. I absolutely loved this one, and I'm 100% here for the first date restaurant video.

[@ellieisanerd]

This was such a great episode.

[@louisemason2918]

Let us know in advance what strain your smoking so we can smoke along with Zach

[@user_unav]

Idea Everyone goes to Disney There could be multiple pods filming Dare I say even a cross over ep here and there So everyone filming all day / filming parts etc Cut into podcast A eat the menu Everyone being chaotic

[@Therealwojo]

Loooove disney bounding. Going for our second time in December and I cannot wait to have a theme for all 7 days!

[@et8603]

Love this!

[@rayxinez]

COME TO MONTREAL, Montreal has the highest number of restaurants per Capita in Canada and our poutine goes hard

[@rayxinez]

also our sqdc (weed dispensory) just started doing edibles lol just throwing it out there theres weed gravy

[@elizabethjmanzano]

Would love to see Keith Eat the Venue during Knott's Berry Farms Boysenberry Festival where they have different berry-themed foods all over the park. I remember really enjoying a version that Ryan and Shane did a few years back, but Keith's food-drunkness (and actual drunkness bc they also have boysenberry alcoholic beverages; I recommend the Boysenberry Hurricane which I found at the Calico Saloon as the best bang for your buck) would put this idea over the top.

[@clarebear.748]

Filmed two years ago. Eat the Venue Knotts

[@elizabethjmanzano]

@@clarebear.748thanks, I’ll need to definitely check that one out. Maybe I have already seen it but remembered it as Shane and Ryan's video.

[@audria5518]

@@elizabethjmanzanoShane and Ryan did it twice. Try guys went but I don’t think that they were there during the festival.

[@monet1578]

I love how she looks so young and hip then when she speaks BOSSS

[@sleinar]

Love this episode! Eat the Menu with Josh and Ollie from Korean Englishman/Jolly in Korea would be great or in London!

[@kawaiiakuma1313]

Not always with red, my hair LOVES red, the last time I had dyed my hair with a red-ish highlight, I was left with the red. Just like natural red heads tend to not keep any kind of dye. I sort of view hair like tattoos, many people say certain colors don't stay but that doesn't always cover the whole population.

[@julinelson1775]

Also Ireland, Scotland & Wales

[@niinjaaturtle]

YESSS FOR DATING SHOW

[@jamiepaulse4916]

Eat the menu South Africa would be insane 🎉 would also be extremely cheap with our lousy conversation rate 😅

[@asunbeam5479]

gotta love philz

[@serensighs]

The thing about the Michelin star season is it kinda takes away some of the charm because most viewers will not be able to eat the same food. It really creates a divide between Keith and the viewer compared to Applebee's or Chipotle. Plus, obviously, Keith is going to say everything tastes amazing. Part of the fun is his descriptions of things he doesn't like. That said, I know a lot of people don't like the chain restaurants.

[@plaguedoctorapothecary]

How about a Joyce and Jonny dating show? Like a combo Bachelor/Bachelorette deal but with infinitely more enjoyable people? :D?

[@AelinGalathynius995]

If you do "Eat the menu" abroud, please come to Sweden! We have Fika! And our english is very good

[@whereyoubean]

If Rainie or other staff are not allowed, Put Jonny Cakes for the dating show!

[@jesss.1560]

I thought that was Desiree in the background of the Jojo videos!

[@beatricevoorhees6992]

desiree is my favorite!

[@veronicaklingel160]

Petition to get Rainie to Disney ✨

[@loraleiwier870]

I love smoke show so much and I’m so scared it will get cut because of how complicated this is.

[@julinelson1775]

I think she would look amazing with a graduated blue.

[@oliviablake6848]

Eat with Keith Korea (ft YB)!!!

[@liznotslow]

You should do “Eat the Minnesota State Fair.” It’s the second largest state fair in the country. Texas has the largest.

[@caticorn6128]

Dating show where you get celebrity ships on and they talk about the fan theories

[@rachelhogan9588]

WAR/Phoning It In Adjacent Idea: A judge makes a dish and the guys taste it and have to try to make a replica of that dish. Whoever gets the closest wins

[@Sarah-cs3id]

Is it Matt Stonie???

[@ChristenMcGregor]

Go to Japan and I’ll translate!!

[@marskristin]

Is the name 'F Marry Spill' taken for a dating show?

[@carbajalcasiquemariananata7889]

I really do miss ariel

[@honoluluw]

desiree's hair looks different :o

[@CaliMel184]

Did you not listen to this video lol. She literally says they are dying it.

[@honoluluw]

@@CaliMel184 yeah sorry I commented before I got to that part?

[@lalakass9041]

Why does such a large channel With such a large influence still use better help as a sponsor? You can have a sponsorship by any company you want but you accept one from such a problematic company.

[@caitskwarek9572]

They probably have a contract

[@SanskarWagley]

They’re locked into a contract, I’m sure they’ll eventually get out of it

[@ES.Evergreen]

Considering that every single podcast video has at least a dozen people commenting about Better Help, I'd assume they probably have a long-term contract and can't remove them as a sponsor yet.

[@hollyscottage]

People love to mention that they likely have a contract despite it being common practice for contracts to have termination clauses.

[@peacechickification]

@@hollyscottagenot only that, but betterhelp first started having horrid controversies and people apologizing for accepting their money YEARS ago. There’s no world in which they signed that contract when betterhelp was a reputable company.

[@ten-hx2xi]

the chokehold the betterhelp contract has on them…we noticed keiths complete lack of enthusiasm in his sponsored segment ❤

[@abbylynne9798]

Who drained Desiree’s color?! 😧

[@jmason1770]

I believe she said she's prepping her hair cause she's going to have it colored in about a week or so. Probably don't wanna put the new color on top of the old color.

[@kelseyp600]

You guys are selling out so hard for better help…

[@user-bl7kg7tj1c]

Love love love you guys but please stop working with betterhelp😭🫶

[@caitybutton]

So many bad things have come out about it I’m so surprised so many big creators still work with them
