Young Hollywood

What's up, Stranger Things fans? We're here to talk about all the strangest moments we've had with the Stranger Things cast. And we have to kick it off from when we had Millie, Gaten, and Caleb in the studio. You mean that one time we almost made Millie vomit? 100%. Cue the clip.

Millie Bobby Brown

Guys, if it's something disgusting, I'm genuinely going to freak. Oh my god, it's not a spider, is it? No, no, no. Oh my god, no. Can I smell? Yeah, you can smell. Oh, it tastes just. Oh, it's just like, no, it's like a, oh, I know what it is. Is it like like uh like flour? No. No. Flower? No, like it smells like cake mix or some. Pasta! Whoa. Okay, it's a microwaveable food. You're putting it in the microwave? Ramen noodles. Yes. Yes.

Young Hollywood

Millie Bobby Brown. I am seriously obsessed with Millie Bobby Brown. I mean, I am too and I kind of want to be her when I grow up. Is that weird?

Guest

Goals. Goals. Absolute goals. Bitchin' Bobby Brown. Come on.

We also had Shannon Purser in studio, who plays a round of What's in the Box? And we just take a second to give Barb some justice. Oh, Barb. Okay. All right, hands in. Hands in. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's wet. Oh god. Very tasty when you put it in some tea. Maybe some Fro-Yo. Are these like those little like like popping pearl things? Is there like juice in it? Yes. Yes. Slow claps for Barb. I mean, that girl gives me life. You give me life, girl. She deserves all the justice in the world because homegirl is the number one wing woman. She really is. I'd like to borrow her sometime. Barb, I'm going to need you. Come back from the Upside Down. Come on back. But we also had Natalia who plays Nancy in studio and she shared one of her biggest pet peeves. Let's see how weird it is. People who just eat bagels, like just bagels, like just a raw bagel with nothing in it. Raw. Uncut. Just dough. Whatever. I see that. You mean just like no cream cheese? Like nothing. Like maybe not even sliced. Just take a. They just take a. It's like eating a pepper whole. Inside, Natalia. I don't get it. I don't get it. First off, who takes a bite? Out of an uncut bagel and calls it raw. Number one. Raw. I mean, but like some people have guilty pleasures. And some weird ones. That could be one of them. Yeah. But I mean, speaking of guilty pleasures, we spoke with Finn and that guy has some of the weirdest guilty pleasures I've ever heard. Let's check it out. Okay, the first one. Stranger's guilty pleasure. I don't like swallowed gum or anything, but when I like there's bubble tape around or like like big league chew, I like take the whole pack and just shove it in my mouth. Look at his face. He's so cute. That's amazing. But also, doesn't he have some type of weird phobia? I think so. Play the clip. Strangest phobia that you have. If you have any. Phobia? Yeah. I like it's not it's not a it's not I'm scared of them. I hate bananas. I knew it was something weird, but we're all entitled to a weird phobia, right? I mean, but there's still one cast member that we haven't talked about yet. My fave, Joe Keery with the best hair. He does have the best hair. We actually don't have a strange moment with him, but you guys want to see a clip of him eating some ice cream because I do. I do. Cue it up.

Joe Keery

Joe, I got I got you some ice cream here. Which one would you want? You got bananas, click and cream. Mint chocolate chip. Oh, mint chocolate chip because that's the best flavor. That's the best flavor.

Young Hollywood
