I enjoy watching episodes of Hot Ones periodically. Watched the Deadpool and Wolverine episode last week and it was enjoyable. Just finished the David Blaine episode from it appears about a year ago, and the guy is not human. #9 is pretty much the only one he had any reaction to, and that was due to inhaling through his mouth mid-chew. Dude never even broke a sweat.
Anyone else watch this and have some favorite episodes to recommend? [Reply]
You should watch Travis Kelce’s episode if you haven’t already.
He actually pledged to complete the challenge without drinking water or milk so by the end of the interview Shawn is asking him questions and he’s just like “I don’t know wtf you’re talking about right now; I literally didn’t hear a word you just said” :-) [Reply]
The Gordon Ramsey one was fuuuuucking hilarious. I really enjoyed it.
Honestly they're all pretty good. I listened to a breakdown of how Shawn asks great questions and why they're good vs all the mindless drivel that's out there. [Reply]

That was one of the first ones I watched. Hilarious. [Reply]
Side note. I have a 98% full bottle of the mad dog 357 in the fridge. That shit is no joke. Came home drunk one night and a buddy put a tsp worth under a pepperoni on a pizza. And I was legit crying. [Reply]

Based on your recommendation I watched it and it was hilarious. I also watched his appearance on the holiday special where they revealed the F-bomb count of 134. lol [Reply]
1. Even though the sauces are eaten in order of Scoville score, the third sauce from the end, Da Bomb Beyond Insanity, gives off the sensation of being the "hottest" sauce by far as it is actually an extract-based sauce, meaning: it uses concentrated capsaicin extracts rather than full peppers like non-extract based sauces. This is why it always gets the biggest reaction.
2. Da Bomb Beyond Insanity is the only sauce to never be removed from the sauce lineup due to the viral moments it has created over the years.
3. Da Bomb Beyond Insanity is produced and bottled in Kansas City, KS by Spicin Foods.
4. If you watch closely, Sean tries to emulate/equal the same size of bite that the interviewee takes of each wing. This goes for taking drinks as well. Just another little nuanced thing that makes him a great interviewer.
A few I recommend watching: there are various compilations of Da Bomb reactions. Those are the best! There are also some "how did you know about that?" compilations where the guests marvel at deep cut questions often stating to Sean that he is the best interviewer they've ever had. Paul Rudd is another good one as well as Jennifer Lawrence. Gordon Ramsay has been on twice. Both are good. Conan Obrien was recently on the show and it went completely off the rails. Shaq's reaction to Da Bomb is awesome. Any of the marvel actors are good ones if you're into that stuff (Tom Holland specifically). There are like one or two that quit early and the most famous is DJ Khaled. [Reply]
