i know this is not Beatdown related but these three have such great banter and chemistry that I’m waiting for the day Steven joins a Ghost Files investigation and we get the funniest episode ever.

[@peytonalexander5300]

I’ve always thought the one thing they could do to make Buzzfeed Unsolved/Ghost Files even better than it already is would be to bring in guests like Steven or one of the Try Guys or something. One of the best things about early Unsolved episodes was that Ryan and Shane were both very green and inexperienced ghost hunters and we got to see their journey into becoming more comfortable and learning what they were doing. I think to recapture a little of that inexperienced magic, they could take on the role of master ghost hunters and bring a rookie with them from time to time, so that we can see more of how different people react to the spookiness. I have to wonder how Steven or Keith or any number of their other collaborators would react to the creepy shit that Ryan and Shane have to put up with at these places.

Stayed until nearly 3 in the morning, only ordered about $15 worth of food between the two of us, but our waitress was so kind that at one point she literally plugged in my laptop charger to an outlet in the kitchen that was meant for one of the coffee pots or something.

"Cheddar baked biscuits made you blaspheme" I'm crying 😭 Love the ~atheist friend giving the religious friend a hard time for not following his own rules~ moment

[@kuroinokitsune]

I like how you don't get until you see it and then "yeah!"

[@heatweve]

i was looking for this comment 😭😭

Everything said and done during the Red Lobster portion of this video (10:48) was a part of Shane's "Lovecraftian" nightmare... Ryans' face after Steven reveals his pick, Stevens awed blasphemy, Shanes's reaction to the endless shrimp, and the way Ryan quotes Beyonce in the most robotic/practiced voice is really the garlic butter sauce on top of an amazing top-three pick from Steven.

[@kingyopi56]

The absolute pure happiness between Shane and Ryan was so freaking wholesome and powerful like their reaction to them having both dennys on their list could be able make anyone happy!

[@sarahrimmel2]

All I could think about when Shane was razzing Steven for not following the rules was, “Dude, you once listed oatmeal as your favorite cereal.” I think about that moment a lot. As a fellow Midwesterner, it haunts me.

[@SK1MD]

It made total sense when Steve swore over Red Lobster’s biscuits. Red Lobster should have been everyone’s Top 5!

As a Canadian, the only one of these restaurants I've actually been to is Denny's so I'm in full support.

[@81Point2]

Denny's is a staple of Canadian culture

[@waywardmind]

We've also got Red Lobster, and - it - is - fabulous.

[@mayvalley]

Canadian here too, I’ve only ever been to red lobster and it is *delicious*

[@eliiisdn]

@@ლ.ლ-ნ7ძ east versus west ahahah no red lobster on the west coast... one day maybe...

[@KHFFSE]

"three way" chili on spaghetti noodles is SO OHIO but the reaction at 20:20 is the real chef's kiss here. And you can tell who has traveled together because of their lists lol

[@DaWombatGaming]

They feel about their Denny's nights the same way I feel about dungeons and dragons nights

[@skyv78]

"maybe they don't like you there. frankly, i don't blame them" i can't believe they aired Greatest and Best Foodie in the World Steven Lim's murder live on youtube

[@kellyhall1453]

this was the best bonefish grill rep i’ve ever seen on the internet 😂 understandably it’s not very popular or well known since it’s not that big (but we are associated with outback!!)

[@Snarl_Marx]

He hit the nail on the head with that pick for sure. A little known gem that people are missing out on.

[@marz3pan]

shane and ryan talking about dennys is giving major theatre kid energy because i have sat in a dennys for 4 hours after a show HAHA
