*WARNING! EXPLICIT MATERIAL* Sometimes the mic is on, and someone doesn't know it. Or they don't care. Either way some of the funniest things are said off the cuff, before the recording really begins. This blooper reel is definitely not for the faint of heart, as we reference asian sausage, c@#& pushups, racial stereotypes, and the bleu cheese of humans.  Prepare to laugh, or be really grossed out. Both are fine with us.
