Someone very special got his game on during a Bay Area Smash Mouth show on Saturday.

Famed culinary character Guy Fieri made an onstage appearance during the band's set at the Sonoma-Marin Fairgrounds in Petaluma, blowing every mind in the crowd. Fieri, whose bleach-blonde spiky hairdo was recognizable despite his baseball cap, has often been compared to Smash Mouth frontman Steve Harwell.

Lest anyone refuse to believe their eyes, Smash Mouth posted a photo with Fieri on the night of the show.

In the crowd was Reddit user Frisco2Galway, a 23-year-old Santa Rosa man who gave his name as Frank. He said via Reddit that he attended the concert with friend Erick Mendoza, who snapped a photo of the iconic meeting. Frank then posted the picture to the /r/bayarea subreddit.

As Frank recounted, the crowd "lightweight lost it."

"After a couple songs, (Harwell) said, 'Hey, brotha man, come out here!' And up walked Guy," Frank said.

Fieri then watched the rest of the show from the sidelines, occasionally returning to the stage when Harwell waved him on. At one point, Fieri took Harwell's drink, so "they seemed to be good friends," Frank said.

The two men share more than a passing likeness. Both are Bay Area locals; Fieri lives in Santa Rosa and makes frequent courtside appearances at Warriors games, while Harwell and his band hail from San Jose. Smash Mouth also played at the Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton on June 15.

Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that as Frank put it, "Sonoma County loves Guy."

"I enjoyed the hell out of it, they put on a great show and Guy being there was the perfect amount of weirdness," he said.
