Shirtless, grinning and bespectacled, Jon Hendren answered my questions with the brutal honesty of a man who helped briefly exile a popstar to Alaska.

You tweet something as a joke and it catches on. You push it it becomes a meme. Then it manifests like a boil and you're being vilified by two knobs with frosted tips and a shark mascot under a gazebo. God bless the internet.

Sometimes you get to be the cool guy that cracks wise. Other times smash mouth, guy fieri, a shark mascot, and your own social anxiety conspire to make a fool out of you in front of everyone and sometimes that moment is the height of your fame and the most significant thing you will ever accomplish.

Imagine if he had torn off his shirt, flexed some bad rear end muscles and downed all those eggs


Then lifted the shark on his shoulder in triumph


what a different world this would be if we had sent a starwars betamax to take care of those motherfucking eggs.

Even if Jon hendren had tried to do this and comically failed it would have been funny and shown he knew how to laugh at himself and have a good time. Then he could have turned to smash mouth and been like "somebody once told me you were gonna eat some eggs, but I guess somebody didn't know how much of a pussy you are“.

The moral of the story is that it's probably better to be a smash mouth than an @fart, which is to say chill enough that you can have some fun at your own expense even if someone else will see you as a joke, and that it is much lamer to develop a personality dependent on always being the allstar of cool detachment and ironic wit. In order to be fun to be around sometimes you are the one who has to eat the eggs, and if you fight that you will only be left with egg on your face. Also, exercise.

Legit, he deserves pride of place in the writer's room for a sitcom or a comedian who has less wit but more charisma.

Released in 1999, Smash mouth's hit song All Star includes a verse referencing global warming, making it an early pop cultural pioneer in discussing the looming environmental crisis. Although, it must be pointed out, it somewhat conflates global warming with CFC induced ozone depletion, which was a more well known concern at the time.

Smash Mouth's debut single, the chart topping 'Walkin' on the Sun' (1997), includes a second verse dedicated first to praising the hippie movement then to criticising its end result, with the implication being that even those who resisted selling out were still ultimately replaced by a younger generation who adopted the movement as a fashion statement - with none of the political conviction. The final verse prophetically warns of the effect the Bush presidency would come to have and advises the listener to take action before it is too late.

spicy eggs are a tasty breakfast choice, actually. i dont know why this was so difficult

Guy feiri. Even smash mouth, a personal friend of feiri, described it as looking like someone had taken a huge poo poo on top of a pile of egg.
