A Beginner’s Guide to Hating Guy Fieri


Every once in a while I make it my personal mission to post a blog about a real world issue. Even though it’s a departure from the typical sarcastic fare of KB Thinks For You, I think it’s my duty to be the change I want to see in the world.

That’s why I’d like to talk to you guys about a very serious infestation that has been sweeping the country: Guy Fieri.

If you’re scratching your bleached blonde goatee in confusion while your numerous rings clang against each other, it’s too late for you and you might as well take up permanent residence in Flavortown, USA.

For those of you innocent souls who have no idea who I’m talking about, count your lucky stars because he is quite possibly the worst person in the world.

I also realize that I said last week that “B” was the worst person in the world but I think her and Guy can be co-holders of that title.

Guy is a “TV personality” who mainly works for the Food Network (on about 3,000 different shows—each of which would be better with someone other than him). He has also reared his overly gelled head on terrible game shows that were almost immediately canceled. I felt so bad for him when that ended*
*I did not feel bad at all.



Here is a list of the many, MANY reasons he sucks. Feel free to add your own in the comment section below (note: any positive comments about Fieri will be marked as spam)

1.     His last name is spelled “Fieri” but is pronounced “Fieti.” What kind of crap is that? Is this how it’s supposed to be? Is it typical for Italians to write one letter and then decide nah, let’s say a different letter here? It’s just stupid.
2.     His wardrobe. You are a 45-year-old male. Why are you dressed like an extra from an Avril Lavigne music video?




3.     His hair. Again, you are a 45-year-old male. There is no reason for you to have hair that spikey and that bleached. I’m pretty sure that his hair is based off of Proto Zoa’s in Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Zetus lupetus! Time for a new hairstyle! Also, the outer part of his goatee is brown while the little soul-patch part of it is blonde… but a different color blonde than his hair. Why does one man need three different shades… none of which look that great on him.


4.     His “bling.” Before we even get into what’s wrong with his “bling,” I would like to note that, yes, he actually calls it “bling.” In the episode of Guy’s Big Bite that I’m watching, he’s wearing 3 large rings (including a thumb ring), hoop earrings in each ear, a large silver watch ON EACH WRIST, and a necklace that must weigh at least 2 pounds. I wish I was joking but I’m not.
5.     His catchphrases. On his show Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, he gets to eat at some of the most awesome restaurants in the country. He samples all kinds of amazing food everyday and his job is to tell us, the audience, how delicious it is and describe it to us. Instead of saying anything helpful—or even coherent—he spits out phrases like “winner, winner, chicken dinner” or “dynamite” or “that’s off the hook” or “that’s flavortown!” In what world are any of these helpful descriptions?
6.     His skillset. I am just so confused by his whole spiel. Because of Triple-D, I thought we has in to burgers, sandwiches, and deep-fried things. Then I hear him talking about Mexican/Tex-Mex food as though that’s what he cooks. I later see an episode of Guy’s Big Bite which seems to confirm this assumption. Later, I find out that he owns a restaurant called Johnny Garlic’s which is an Italian restaurant and on this current episode of GBB he is talking about how pasta is a staple in his house. I AM SO CONFUSED.
7.     His fridge. I don’t even have words. Is this a 45-year-old’s refrigerator or an 8-year-old’s car bed?


8.     His inability to talk in a normal voice. I think someone needs to explain to Guy how a microphone works. There is no reason for him to talk in a perpetual shout.
9.     His abbreviations. Guy is the master of unnecessary abbreviations. In the last 10 minutes I’ve heard him shorten up “vegetable oil” into “veg oil” and “ravioli” into “rav.” Why? Why would you do that? Just stop being you, Guy.
10. The fact that he has the best job in the world. That man gets to travel all over the place eating the best food in the world. If anyone deserves that amazing job, that person is me.





If you can still like Guy Fieri, may God have mercy on your soul because you are a lost cause.

Also, quit reading this blog because that is unforgivable.

She Puts the "B" in B!tch


Friends! It’s been quite some time since I last spoke to you but I just need a little break from the responsibility of taking care of you. Seriously. Most of you are 20 plus years old; you should be able to navigate your life without the help of me.

I don’t want to name names but I vaguely remember a story from my childhood of a bearded man with followers who needed a break and took some of his friends out on a boat where some walking on water may or may not have occurred. Like I said, though, I don’t want to name any names or compare myself to any “savior” or ask anyone to call me “Messiah” (although that does have a nice ring to it) but I definitely get his need for space.

Ok, I think that’s enough blasphemy for the day.

When I decided to write another blog I was originally going to just give you an update on my life since the last time we talked (before you ask, yes, I am still addicted to Mountain Dew) but I realized that there was a much more pressing issue.

I have a coworker that I. Cannot. Stand.

In general, I’m fairly tolerant of other people’s stupidity. For instance, I’ve probably had multiple conversations with you.

But this lady—who we’ll call “B” for the purposes of anonymity—is potentially the most aggravating person I’ve ever had the displeasure of knowing.

She’s what I imagine would be the result if Anne Hathaway and Satan had a baby.

The first day that I met this lady, she had already informed me that she homeschooled all of her kids, gave me details about her divorce, and told me about her fiancé.

In the past few weeks she has expanded on that by talking about:
1.     Her and her new fiance’s sex life
a.     You’re 50+. No one wants to hear that
b.     We are nowhere near close enough for you to tell me this
c.      (and I cannot stress this one enough) I DON’T CARE
2.     Her trip up to the Boundary Waters to bail her son out of jail
3.     Her daughter’s mental instability as well as her pregnancy
4.     Her other daughter’s past drug use
5.     Her fiance’s daughter who is working in the oil fields and may or may not be a prostitute
6.     Her free range chickens which apparently roam all over the place (btw that’s filthy and you should be ashamed)

Every day she comes to share more and more and fails to notice that I don’t even pretend to care anymore. To be completely frank, I don’t even care that much about my friends’ lives, let alone B’s.

You see, B has made a common mistake.

She looks at my kind face and my gentle eyes and assumes that I give a shit about her life. She mistakes my ability to listen and politely respond as interest. She assumes that because I haven’t politely told her to shut her f@#$^%& mouth that I want her to talk.

WHY AM I CURSED WITH SUCH AN OPEN AND WELCOMING PERSONALITY!?

I guess the only way I can get her to stop with these shenanigans is to become a mean, sarcastic, unwelcoming person. It will be such a departure from my regular personality thought!

Let’s hope I’m a good enough actress to pull it off!
