Behind his backward glasses, Guy Fieri may be hiding one of the Internet's most talked-about secrets. Guy Fieri bears a striking resemblance to Steve Harwell of Smash Mouth and Violent J of ICP. This has led people to speculate that the trio - Guy Fieri, Steve Harwell, and Violent J - may be the same person or clones. Evidence supporting this theory is vast, from their similar career paths to their distinctive peroxide tips and facial hair. It all fits together like a puzzle.

These men share the same tastes. They both love early 2000s hairstyles and cheese. Neither seems lactose intolerant.–This condition affects about 65% of the population.65% of the population –The odds are slim that one man would lack milk sensitivity if they were different people. How do we know they love cheese?
Guy Fieri often appears on TV shoveling cheese into his face while shouting "winner, winner chicken dinner," like he found Kraft singles. He has a recipe calledMac Daddy Mac N' Cheese, suggesting he is the "Mac Daddy."
Violent J likes cheese. In a 2005 interview with The AV Club, the rapper admitted he wants his last meal to be his mom's cheesy potatoes or, strangely, her "cheesy noodles."
"My last meal would be my mom’s cheesy potatoes. Hell yeah. My mom makes the best meal on the f*cking planet. Or the cheesy noodles. Either one is good, but I’m going with the cheesy noodles," he said.
Steve Harwell's cheese love is less public. He posted atweetcelebrating national burrito day (and a burrito needs melty pepper jack).

In an episode ofDiners, Drive-Ins & Dives, Guy Fierirefersto Steve Harwell as his "brother from another mother." Two ways this works: First, Harwell is Fieri's half-brother. This seems absurd since the stars came from different parents.
The other possibility is less likely but possible. Steve Harwell and Guy Fieri are clones of Violent J. DNA from Violent J was taken as a baby in hiding. That DNA created two human fetuses implanted in two women who were trying to get pregnant a year apart. This is unverified, but people can guess.

Each person seems like the other's missing piece. If Guy Fieri and Steve Harwell kissed, their beards would join. Because of their connection, the pair would finally reach Flavortown, USA, the grease-soaked Eden Fieri has sought for years.
As oneReddit user suggested, maybe Fieri and Harwell rub their chins and become Violent J, a juggalo whose music defies normal taste.

Violent J and Insane Clown Posse bandmate Shaggy 2 Dope often throw Faygo, a local Midwestern soda, at fans during their shows. In 2015, they literallyViolent J canceled a show because the venue would not let them spray the soft drink everywhere.
Steve Harwell throws things, mostly tantrums, but sometimes his body. The same year Violent J got angry about not being allowed to throw Faygo into the crowd, Harwell lost control when fans started flinging bread pieces threw pieces of bread at him during a Colorado performance. His tour manager restrained Harwell after he hurled insults and tried to throw himself off the stage into the crowd, seemingly trying to teach them a lesson.

Fridays and starred in a commercial for the restaurant chain. Steve Harwell has never officially endorsed the Church of Flavortown, but the establishment plays his song every 25 minutes. Have you ever been to a T.G.I. Fridays that hasn't played "All Star"?
An item makes things more suspicious. An online petition circulated. An online petition urged Smash Mouth to change their genre from "Pop Rock" to "T.G.I. Fridays".
T.G.I. Fridays has a casual mood, but the Holy Trinity's T.G.I. Fridays link asks a serious question: Why are these three mega-stars at a cheap restaurant?

Steve Harwell denies the Flavortown-Juggalo story, but he might not know he is a clone. Accepting this fact is hard. If you were a clone, how would you know, and would you accept it?
Harwell publicly seeks his missing DNA twin. He started this in a tweet. A tweet from a fan suggesting Smash Mouth and Insane Clown Posse play the Vans Warped Tour made Harwell seem eager. He replied, "Let's do it!" with an exclamation point showing his desire to finally meet his biological match.

Just a year and less than two weeks later, on January 22, 1968, the king of fast food (not the Burger King) entered Flavortown on a river of burger grease.
The Faygo-soaked Joseph Bruce (AKA Violent J) debuted on April 28, 1972. He is four years younger than Fieri, but this clone may have used those years to learn that face paint lets him appear publicly from Ohio's shadows without suspicion.
