This summer, comedian Kumail Nanjiani will pick up cops and killers alike in Stuber, which just might portray the longest shared Uber ride in the history of ride sharing. While we wait for that to hit the silver screen, now's the time to watch Nanjiani take another wild ride in the new episode of Disgustingly Healthy. Hell face a series of progressively-gag-worthy cuisine, which he can either accept and eat or deny the ride and answer a question.

The ride begins with vegan smoked salmon and winds its way through fermented cheeses and dried seafood.

I dont even like normal smoked salmon, Nanjiani says, grimacing at his first and supposedly easiest health food challenge. Its like a sponge . . . Ive never felt this texture in my life. Theres a first and last time for everything, and its safe to say Nanjiani has had enough of vegan salmon forever.

Then, the Big Sick star is on to yogurt soda. I hate yogurt, so youve done a good job finding the things I dont like, he says.

He smells. He gags. He drinks it anyway. What a champion.

Nanjiani looks at the next food: pickled brussel sprouts. Two more things Nanjiani doesnt like: pickles and brussel sprouts. He opens the jars. He smells, and his decision is immediately made. He closes the jar and picks up a question card.

Youre in a tag team cage fight with RuPaul, Jordan Peele, and Stephen Colbert, which person is your teammate? Without even thinking, Nanjiani goes with RuPaul. RuPauls a bad ass. Commence friendly Jordan Peele smack-talking.

Nanjiani passes on the grilled dried yellowjack, and picks up another card. Whats the secret to great eyebrow trimming? I have to pluck to separate them, because theyre basically this much all the way across, he says, motioning to his bushy brows and extending a finger across his forehead. Its not so much the grooming as what you can do with them.

Nanjianis final challenges come in the form of fermented cashew cheese, which hes forced to meditate while eating in order to swallow. And then hes onto-you gotta be kidding me -dried crab bites.

Unbelievable, the Silicon Valley star says, as he opts out of trying the crab, reaching instead for a card-a choice he immediately regrets.

Oooh, f---, Nanjiani groans, a natural reaction for anyone-comedians included!-when forced to rank friends. Shoulda gone with the crab. Shoulda gone with the crab...
