A conversation about Aftershock and food preferences: Comedians shared their experiences with messy Aftershock and their food preferences, emphasizing the importance of embracing imperfections
The term "neat" doesn't apply to Aftershock, a comedy duo's infamous performance substance. Aftershock is far from neat, as evidenced by its sticky residue that leaves floors and walls in a mess. The comedians have even kept a piece of the stickiest dance floor as a memento. Despite its disgusting nature, the sticky floor might serve as a deterrent against vermin.

Despite the large quantities of dim sum consumed, the speaker expresses no regrets and finds joy in the experience.

This was evident in a conversation about a podcast episode where a guest, who is lactose intolerant but still prefers a certain type of elbow macaroni for its nostalgic value, discussed their experience cooking for the podcast host, Levi Roots. Despite being nervous about following a recipe and dealing with spicy ingredients, the guest was able to impress Roots with their cooking skills and the resulting dish was a success. The conversation also touched upon the importance of memory and tradition in cooking, as well as the unexpected challenges and joys that come with trying new things in the kitchen. Ultimately, the conversation highlighted the personal and emotional connections people can have with food, and the importance of embracing the quirks and idiosyncrasies that make each culinary experience unique.

The reveal was that a celebrity had produced the "shit," and the audience was then engaged in trying to guess which chef had cooked the meal that led to it.
