Podcaster Taylor Strecker said in a viral video that Eric Stonestreet was the “worst guest” she has ever had on her show — all because of an antidiarrheal mix-up.
Strecker, 41, explained that she assumed Stonestreet, 52, would be promoting his ABC sitcom during their interview, but he had actually partnered with Pepto-Bismol for a campaign.

“I didn’t know!” she claimed. “So we’re talking, we’re talking. I’m like, you know, just being my adorable self. And he’s like, ‘So when are we gonna talk about Pepto-Bismol?’
“I said, ‘I have hemorrhoids. I’m the queen of diarrhea. I love Pepto-Bismol! We can talk about whatever you want,'” the influencer continued. “And he said to me — and I quote — ‘Somebody didn’t do their homework.'”
Strecker recalled being taken aback by Stonestreet’s purported comment, joking, “You’re gonna come into my house and call my mommy and daddy? I don’t think so.”
“He said to me — and I quote — ‘Somebody didn’t do their homework,'” Strecker claimed. Amazon “Summer House” star Paige DeSorbo joked she was going to call Sofía Vergara. Amazon
The longtime radio host admitted she then “snapped” on the actor.
“I said, ‘I’m sorry. Am I getting paid by Pepto-Bismol? The answer is no. So that’s your job to figure out, not mine,'” she shared.
DeSorbo, 31, joked she was going to call Stonestreet’s former co-star Sofía Vergara to get “to the bottom of it.”
Strecker did not share when she interviewed the Emmy winner, and clips of their conversation do not appear to be online, though he worked with the antacid brand in 2011.
