You should only use a spoon with a bowl and a fork with a plate
Summary
A man's utensil philosophy gets put to the test when he declares spoons belong with bowls and forks belong with plates. His wife sparked this whole crusade by serving him a bowl with a fork, leaving him unable to scoop up every last grain of rice. Kareem pushes back: what about salad? The rider insists it's "white people food" eaten on a plate with a fork, though he personally uses chopsticks for omelets and scrambled eggs. The conversation spirals through pasta protocols, Caesar salads, and ice cream hypotheticals before landing on cereal. Plot twist: this guy pours an entire box into a Tupperware container. Kareem's had enough and bails.

So what's your take? You should only use a spoon with a bowl and a fork with a plate. 100%.
Disagree. There is no need to cross over. I'm in America. I'll use whatever I want to eat. Oh, you're going to eat an ice cream out of a plate and use a fork?
If I want to, that's so weird. How do you eat pasta? Pasta. Because sometimes pasta comes in a bowl, I agree, and they want you to use a—it depends on the pasta. If it's a ravioli, it's big enough, you use it on a plate, you use a fork. If it's smaller pasta and you want to use a bowl, fine, you could use a fork in the beginning. But when you get to the last few pieces, how do you get them out?
Come, you can use them both. Come on. What about this? I like to eat a lot of white people food. Salad. Salad is not white people food.
It is. No, it's not. The way that I eat it, Caesar salads, that's a white people food for sure.
When you had the Caesar, fine, sure. But you eat it on a plate and you use a fork. No, no, I use chopsticks.
You? Why? I use chopsticks for omelets and scrambled eggs. Sometimes I just like using chopsticks.
You have to reevaluate some of your—tell me, I can't use the sticks? I mean, you could use whatever you want. I'm just talking about ease. Why you want to make your life more difficult? These are common sense utensil rules you want—you—you're trying to get common sense utensil—we should all abide by them if we want to live an easier life.
Do you have a girlfriend? I have a wife.
Is she playing by the same rules? No. This all came because one time she made dinner and she gave me a bowl with a fork, and I ate the thing. And I'm the kind of guy that eats every last grain of rice, and you can't do it with the fork in a bowl. And now anytime I get served anywhere a bowl and a fork, I just feel something.
What's your favorite food to eat with a spoon? Uh, cereal. Yes, my guy. Bro, you know what? I like to eat my cereal out of a Tupperware, like a big—like I pour the whole box in there.
I'm—I'm not a—oh yikes. Uh, let's get off.
