Beans and Carrots

When I was teaching school my students were invited to share one of their projects on a local TV program. As my students and I sat waiting for the camera to roll, the host told us to look at each other and repeat "peas and carrots, peas and carrots" over and over again while we laughed and acted "natural". He said that saying these words would make us look like we were really talking without having to force or fake a conversation. Today, however, my guests are beans and carrots instead. Does this make them look less natural?
