miz, or mike, as your close friends and family call you. i am the most must-see wwe superstar of all time, so you can call me miz, you can call me mike-- how about i call you fred? that works. [theme music] well, well, well. no matter who you are-- we're the bad guys in the business. --or what you do, we all have different friends for different reasons. we're not just pals. i'd say we're ride or die friends. yeah.

fortunately, my friend list includes a pretty distinct cast of characters, and they each bring out something special in me. you were one of the main reasons why i started doing the challenges on mtv. - you're kidding. i swear to god. take for example my buddy, and the greatest competitor i know-- other than myself-- mike "the miz" mizanin. after absolutely crushing it on "the challenge," mike went on to become wwe superstar the miz-- we are awesome! --and star in his own reality television series, "miz and mrs," alongside his pro wrestler wife, maryse. i think there's a lot of parallels between the miz and bananas. bananas is the greatest challenger of all time. never settling for second best is the catalyst to our success, so whenever mike and i get together, a friendly competition inevitably ensues. i think it's only appropriate that we are starting today off in the goat pen, because did you guys know that you are adopting two more goats this afternoon?

so i heard. what do you guys do here at austin farm sanctuary? so, our primary purpose is to rescue farm animals from a number of different situations, whether it's off to slaughter or hoarding situations or abandonment. we have some that were just kind of left in the woods. we are really excited about being able to just come here and play with animals all day. we're excited about that as well, but you've kind of got to earn your keep. it smells hot and musty. i mean the flies won't even touch this thing. oh, man. this is a really runny one. holy cow, no pun intended. - i've got it. - you've got it, mike. - i've got it. - get it up there. all right, i'll be right behind. oh, my god. there's cornn this. my g . what do you think this thing weighs, 1,000, 2,000 pounds? i can do it. i don't think so, man. you'd think there'd b like a more efficient way to do this than with your hands. - uh, guys? you could use these, if you want. do i look like arnold in "predator"?

do i look like the rock? woo! really? yeah. we're going to take the three strand bales. they're about 100 pounds each. - ok. - and we're going to see-- - that's it? --see how many we can get into this area, ok? even though we were volunteering, we were still competing. - toss them in there. do the best you can. - but he's already cheating. - no, i'm not. - you are. - he said go left. - that is why you're a cheater. go left. i'm trying to figure out how this thing moves. you're a cheater. you're-- you're not supposed to be doing that. you're not allowed to touch it. if you ain't cheating, you ain't trying. have you ever done a challenge? have you ever done a challenge in your life? go! you remember the first time we met. yes, it was a after party at my apartment. yeah. we were playing games in there, right? beer pong in your kitchen. you mother-- and if you won, you got to be in the kitchen, like, this is my kitchen. you want to step in my kitchen? [loud groaning]

i feel like my entire life is a challenge. it was. is yours the same way? 100%. this is a two pointer right here. i was closer than you were on that one. well-- the winner of this battle is up for debate, but judging by the reward, i'd say it's a win-win. hey, buddy. bo diddley's going to come and greet us. oh, boy. bo diddley! hey. oh, yeah. - why does he like you? - he loves me. - you taste better. - oh. what do you mean he tastes better? i taste good. i taste just fine. feel that tongue. feel that tongue! this is our guy doya. he's a gentle giant. - oh, yeah? - can i give him an apple? yeah, but don't do it with your hand. set it right in front of him. - look at those teeth. look at them! - he can chomp-- look at him, dude! the whole thing, he's just gonna chow it. - yeah. - yeah, look at it. these are like your kids, right? oh, absolutely. we hope to give them a good, happy life where they get to have that and feel love and feel those good vibes, and have people over like y'all to get to interact with them and make sure that they know love. how much does this thing weight? 1,200 pounds. 1,200 pounds? do you feel the power? this bull is more powerful-- i would say double the power, triple

the power of any superstar i've ever been in the ring with. one like this, and you're done. oh, boy! run! everybody run! it is a very humbling experience. i pride myself as a person that's a tough guy, but around that bull, i am a runner. i am a sprinter. where'd johnny go? i don't know. and johnny is a climber. didn't know that. mike, can cows climb trees? no. they don't climb trees, right? no, they don't climb trees. this one's getting awful close. [cow moos] chris and angela have created a huge extended family, and you can see the love. aw. it's very selfless. it's just-- i don't know. it makes me smile.y were attached at the hip, which wase different animals. - kind of like us, mike. - that's what it is? have you thought of that? so who's the jackass and who's the goat? hey, you two. god, they're beautiful. you are so cute, man.

i've gone soft and i don't care. i don't care. well, your wife might. i always thought i was a goat, but after watching today, i know why people call me a jackass.

etiquette is there so we don't bang into each other. and manners is how we treat people-- being courteous, being kind, and being thoughtful. johnny, you've completely [bleep] that up. let's face it, we all have that one friend who makes no apologies for who they are or what they say, and the best part is, they expect the same out of you. well, well, well. you'll just let any piece of [bleep] hang out with you. [inaudible] what's up, man? you're on the wrong side of the pond here, aren't you? yeah, i am. this is kyle christie from mtv's "geordie shore"-- let's see what [bleep] [inaudible].. --and "the challenge". if there was a time to pull the trigger, now is the time. i don't want to be [inaudible]. clearly, we could use a lesson in minding our manners,

and a job of this magnitude calls for an expert. philip, how do you do? kyle, aka, the k-dog. meet founder and principal of the british school of etiquette philip sykes. i hope you are ready for a long day at the office. i love it. love to challenge myself. gentlemen, we'll begin not to cover the subject and topic of dining and table etiquette. so if we could all take a seat together, just step in your chair, and then just pull your chair in under your bottom. how does knowing how to make a floral arrangement, and flowers in general, play into overall etiquette? if you have any kind of table setting or in any room, flowers bring the beauty. this napkin remains on your lap throughout the meal. and one thing we never allow is elbows on the table, so, please. i already knew that. to make this, we start off with [inaudible].. - can i try one? - yes, please do. ok. you want me to pin that down for you-- - yes, go on then. - --my dear. thank you very much. now what do we do with the roses.

[gasps] careful with my stock. what about this stock? so i want you to both do this. what letters have we spelled here? b and d. ok, so b stands for your bread, and the d is your drink. so your drink is always on the right, bread on the left. the cutlery starts from the outside and moves in. do we spoon before we fork, or should you fork and then spoon? the spoon would be for soup, the knife and fork for a separate course. spooning leads to forking. - look at these beauties. - oh, those are beautiful. are those orchids? - they're incredible. yeah, [inaudible] orchids. why don't you pop that on kyle's lapel there [inaudible]?? beautiful, yeah. you could put that in his buttonhole there. i think it really suits him. in his what? his buttonhole? gentlemen! no, no, no, no. can you both practice holding a knife and fork for me? does it have to be left handed? because i got taught with the right hand. the fork is always in the left hand. the only time we turn the fork to our right hand is if we're eating pasta. we cut, and then you would push your meat onto the end of the fork. you would then take a mouthful, and then you would rest your cutlery. after every mouthful-- [interposing voices] you rest your cutlery. that's crazy, but what about if you're really hungry?

it takes 20 minutes for your stomach to tell your brain that you actually are full. wow, really? so in this way, when you rest your cutlery between mouthfuls, you chew the food, you appreciate it more, and you'll eat a lot less food. finally, after lots of practice-- both: soup, salad, fish. --we're one step closer to joining high society. how do you take your tea? do you like it black, white? i like my tea like i like my women-- formal. you may often hear people call this high tea, and actually this is not known as high tea. this is known as english afternoon tea. if i can pass that on to you, and help yourself to a couple of sandwiches, please. kyle, are you going to eat that? in good etiquette and manners, especially table, you don't touch other people's food. yeah, if you touch my food again, me and phillip are going to beat the [bleep] out of you. johnny, try and sip from the side. [slurps] no slurping. please be better, johnny. please be better. i suggest you get your nose out of philip's rear end, kyle. why don't you do that? no.

would you be interested in learning a little bit how this history of afternoon tea came to life? i would love to, philip. let's go back to the early days, when the portuguese were traveling by ship. yes, so catherine [inaudible] introduced this into the royal courts of the uk, and this led to a big problem in this country. they would count the number of windows, and literally you were going to be taxed x amount. fast forward to the 1800s, and there was a woman by the name of [inaudible]. and this fashion of afternoon tea just took off like wildfire. tea is incredible. it's created history throughout the world. this is not just a good way to enjoy a lovely meal, but also an excellent way to enjoy each other's company? absolutely. this is an experience of bringing people together. it is. oh, that's very sweet. that's lovely. that's very thoughtful. and thoughtful. it's taken afternoon tea to understand that i actually am very fond of you, and i do appreciate your company. and i appreciate you as, not just my friend,

but as a human being. and i respect you. [inaudible] this is totally out of turn for me. i'm about to have a heart attack. that's fine. just say, thank you so much. thank you so much. that means a lot to me. that means a lot to me. well, what do you know? maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks. the british school of etiquette has absolutely taken on board today what you've acknowledged. both of you are on the way to becoming refined, classical gentlemen. so if i could ask you both to please rise. or maybe not. johnny, congratulations. thank you, philip. congratulations. it's been a pleasure. oh, jesus christ! yeah. you should have seen that coming, my friend. you should have seen that coming.

i was going to come in here and [bleep]

dance and nail this. it's like, nope. i can't even think. it's hard core. when making new friends, sometimes the quickest way to get to know them is by stepping into her world and out of your comfort zone. so while checking out london, i hit up former "1st look" host ashley roberts, and boy did i get more than i bargained for. it's great to finally meet you. it's great to finally meet you. that's quite a handshake you've got there. so, bananas, tell me how "1st look" has been. you liking it? who's interviewing who here? i'm asking you how it's been since you took my spot. listen, it's been great, all right? it's pretty awesome, isn't it? during ashley's reign as host, viewers watched her dance like a pro. you let the music move you, huh? compared to my tenure, when viewers watched me dance like a drunken hobo. should we cha-cha? sho? where are the maracas at? there's no maracas in cha-cha, unlessof the. no, don't answer that. don't threaten me with a good time. cue matt harris, the man behind the routine we hope

will turn ashley and i into fast friends. have you ever danced with a girl outside of a club context before? define dancing. holding a girl's hand and leading her where she needs to go and bringing her back to you. yes, yes i have. you have? into an uber. so when i push ashley, what she does is slightly push back so she can feel where i'm taking her. then from here, i slightly pull her this way. - it's like riding a horse. - exactly, like-- with the reins. we're not really going to compare your partner to a horse, but it's similar. it's a really difficult thing when you form a new partnership to work together. up there, she's just getting it in her wrists. down there, she can feel it in her body. [inaudible]. they're both very confident personalities. you over here. i'm here. and they get to kind of find distinct roles in the partnership. and then-- ok. are you ok? johnny is a really sort of strong alpha guy wanting to lead. not so tense. loosen up. i've gotta give you a little bit [inaudible].. loosen up. it's ok. but it's ashley who knows what she's doing.

you've gotta catch me. i got you. so there's a really interesting power struggle dynamic developing. if i can feel your hand for a second. i'm going to lead you into this. - ok. ok. i think there's definitely a difference in the chemistry between me and johnny and johnny and matt. can you see how you're getting a really strong lead from me here. get close, get intimate. this is wonky. this is. is this the proper form? yeah, this is great. i mean, i'm having the best time. ok, guys. which, you know, i'm fine with, actually. it makes me feel more comfortable if they're just having their little bromance moment. would you like to hold me? - yes, i'd love to. - yeah? i thought you'd never ask. this is the first time i've ever felt this comfortable in another man's embrace. from here-- hold me. i'm used to taking the lead, but matt's really good at doing that, and i feel oddly comfortable when we're dancing together. yes. ok. with ashley, please. ready? yes. not only is this my first time dancing and i have a lot to prove, but also, i feel like the torch has been passed to me.

i promise you i'll not drop you. if anything, i'll fall on top of you. yeah. ok. i'll break your fall. actually, you'll break my fall. and i have to make sure that she knows i'm sailing the ship in the right direction, not into the rocks. however, it's rocky. this. oh, [bleep]. i feel like no matter how many times i do the same thing, it's like i keep getting in my own head, and i keep getting hung up in the exact same spots. [inaudible] so close! so close. i will have to say in johnny's defense, to be a beginner and learn this choreography, it's really, really hard. it's ok. but, there were moments that really clicked. yeah. it's cool to be able to watch him realize that he can do some of the movements. yes! zorro! i think we're going to be able to pull off something decent for the audience. [music playing]

how was i as a partner? you know, i have to say when you first came in, i was like, i don't know how this is going to work. and parts where you removed your brain and really felt it, i really felt you lead, and i liked the connection that we had. - i did too. yeah. i feel-- - ready to meet the parents. - oh. yeah. yeah, no, i wasn't going down that path. all right. whose house are we doing christmas at, mine or yours? yeah, ok. california phones offers free specialized phones... like cordless phones.

in general, ride or die friends are hard to find. but when i'm in new york, i'm pretty sure i know exactly where to look. meet fran and ria. most people know them as the chicks in the office. what's up, everyone? it's "chicks in the office" with ria and fran. we are giving you that friday energy. there's all these rumors. i'm like, i don't buy any of this i don't believe that. a pop culture podcast they host on "barstool sports." fire flame. all right everyone. we are here with a very special guest, johnny bananas. one of our reoccurring guests. welcome back. yeah, probably one of the guests we've had the most. you don't sugar coat things. we're going to get real stories. it's going to be fun. and that's why we're friends, because you guys are the same way. i'd say ride or die friends. - yeah, right. - right? here's how you can tell the difference. best friends will help you move. ride or die friends will help you move a body, like "thelma and louise." - absolutely. yeah, and you don't have a but i would hope everybody has, like, one or two.

when it comes to t how far would you go to protect ria, and vice versa? i think we'd go pretty far for eaaudible] ride o. if ria murdered someone, i'd have her back. yeah. how far would you guys go to protect me? that response, or lack thereof, is a bit concerning. but by the end of today it will become clear which one of these chicks i should call if i'm ever in a jam. this is johnny bananas to dispatch, over. the [bleep] walkie talkie's dead. hold on! this is high speed nyc, an exit escape room experience simulating a runaway train that will crash unless we find the clues and solve the puzzles that activate the emergency brake. anything could be a clue. we only have 60 minutes, and the clock has already begun. ok. this is going to be a combination to something. this right here. - this right here. - yeah. [inaudible]

it's going to be some sort of a grid, combination situation. we are here. i think johnny definitely has some skills that he has from "the challenge" and doing puzzles that he was seeing things that maybe we weren't seeing. oh! god, the lights are off? are you kidding me? [bleep] i can't see. i'm not going to lie. i think we went in with a game plan, which was, hey, we're going to sit back and let fran do it all. i thought fran was going to be able to figure out everything, and i was going to be all nervous. fran, come on. no, i-- you're supposed to be the smart one here. once we realized that she was as scatterbrained with this whole situation as we were-- there's no way to check our current speed, is there? we really did just have to kind of put our heads together and figure it out. does that do anything? i don't think it does anything. cover the train. where's the train? there were some moments where i think we all got very frustrated. what train? you're pretending like i have any idea what's going o and i have no idea. i thought that the three of us were just going to curl up into balls, ancry on the flo and not see this thing through. please work.

yes! boom! we did it. i'm not as dumb as i look. would i trust my life to johnny? i don't know. i want to say yes. [bell dings] what's dinging? [bell dings] i don't know. i actually think i would trust johnny with my life. [bleep] guys, we've only got 25 minutes and 34 seconds. hurry up or you'll miss "bachelor in paradise." oh, that-- you know what? that's actually rude. [inaudible] how about let's [inaudible] this is johnny bananas to dispatch, over. the [bleep] walkie talkie's dead. i would not yet trust johnny with my life. maybe we'll get there eventually. hello, hello, hello. can we please get a clue? i would trust ria with my life. 100%, would trust fran with my life. i don't have to think about that one. oh! all right, moment of truth. [alarm sounds] it's slowing down. it's slowing down! get overe!

did we do it? we did it! i think the one thing that separates a ride or die friend from a fair weather friend is reliability. we're smart. we're smart. like, if i need, like, bail money, can i call you guys? i'd chip in. if the bail was like $5,000, i'd probably chip in maybe $200. - ok. - wow. ok. that's-- hey, that's-- that's something. that's a substantial amount. [inaudible] zero. good show. thanks, johnny. friends make you smile brighter, laugh longer, and live better, and for this bunch, i'm truly grateful.
