The Internet is a strange and wonderful place full of delightfully odd wonders like, to name just a few, an [Easy Cheese 3-D printer](http://time.com/3763242/easy-cheese-3d-printer/?iid=sr-link1), people who make [tiny burritos for their tiny hamsters](http://time.com/83362/watch-tiny-hamsters-eat-tiny-burritos/?iid=sr-link7) and talented video editors who use their free time to make President Barack Obama “sing” Drake’s “[Hotline Bling.](http://time.com/4147665/barack-obama-drake-hotline-bling/?iid=sr-link5)”

Now, add to their company a genius named [Mayor Wertz](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-9paySSgIyfE3i9eZj4qfQ), who has made a compilation of _Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives_ star [Guy Fieri](http://entertainment.time.com/2012/11/14/guy-fieri-gets-served/?iid=sr-link7) chowing down on some grub, set to a soundtrack of Johnny Cash performing his incredibly somber version of Nine Inch Nails’ “Hurt.” The result is one artist’s statement away from being a brilliant senior art-school project; it’s bewildering, strangely beautiful and mesmerizing all at once. It’s almost moving to watch as Fieri chugs hot sauce straight from the bottle, Cash’s gravel-smooth voice crooning sadly, “I hurt myself today.”

Can someone please give Guy Fieri a hug?
