Try This At Home Show
Podcasts
The Try This At Home Show is about trying candy - and other snacks - familiar, unusual, unheard of, and sometimes bizarre. But it's also about funny and fascinating stories, interesting guests, and getting to do something together. Hosted by Teeg Stouffer & Ryan Libby with their producer, Michelle Guzinski, the audience - The "Try This Tribe" - gets to be part of the action because the recording of the podcast is broadcast live on Facebook Live, so making the podcasts is a fully participatory, shared experience.

Show 34: Vending Machine Challenge
12/15/2020
We try the vending machine challenge and we eat one item from each slot from the machine. That's 19 items people.

Show 24: Ryan’s Experiment Edition

Ryan’s idea is that each of us picks three things. We each pick one thing we think each of the others would like, and one that’s just for us. Then we see how the others feel about it.
First we all try our picks that we think Ryan would like.
Teeg’s pick: couldn’t find anything like the Clark Cups – we all know that Ryan loves Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Teeg considered Reese’s Take 5 … but instead went a different way. For all the M&M’s we’ve ever had, we’ve never tried Peanut Butter M&M’s...

The world is in an uproar, and our job is to keep things light, but we do stand in solidarity with those who are fighting for equality, we stand with those who are mourning, and all of those who are suffering losses.
The last time Brian was on, we tried Surstromming. That was the most watched thing we’ve ever done, but it got cut off when the crew was just too grossed out to continue. So what happened next? Well, the boys nearly cleared out a hotel, and utterly confused the hotel cleaning...

It’s a shelter-in-place Easter, and we’re talking about how we’re planning our Easters at home.
