Grace likes to do wierdo things because when she delivered food, she tells them that she is the biggest fan. When Brett did television occasionally he would be recognized.  Cenk gets recognized in weird places like the bathroom or calling insurance. Brett tells a story that someone went to Jalen Rose ask him to take a picture of him, the funny thing is they didn’t know who Jalen Rose was. Grace was looking for a fun practical joke while she delivered food to people. For a social experiment, a woman put an ad and said, “I’m a woman and I need a microwave.” Within 24 hours, the woman received a microwave.  The other experiment was a woman going to a store and asking a guy if he could buy her shoes and they guy bought her the shoes.
