    this is gonna drive me to be @UlyssesT@hexbear.net but about Hot Ones instead of Elon

    this is the most ridiculous premise for an interview show

    my other comment bears repeating:

    how do celebrities feel about paper cuts?!?! check out my new YouTube show to find out

    that feels equally pertinent to the culture

      Eating hot wings is a pretty standard food challenge in the states. Many local wings places were doing it long before this YouTube show. (Like "if you can eat this plate of ghost pepper wings you get them for free and your picture on the wall") I don't know much about the brand but they definitely were always planning on doing food related things based on the name "first we feast" and this idea makes sense. The interviews are otherwise normal and like I said have this guy who's a good interviewer. If you're curious, find a celebrity you like and watch that episode. Or you can just forget the whole thing because I assure you there are much weirder premises for interview shows.

        totally understand the premise of eating hot wings, I have a friend who is super into them and enters contents and impresses large men with her heat-eating ability

        it's just baffling to me as a context for Getting To Know Someone, which I'm beginning to understand is how some of you are seeing it

        idk how else to explain that it's weird to me that watching someone suffer a food makes them relatable/likable, which leaves me with the idea that it's me that's weird here

        everybody else gets it, and I get that, but it is very weird to me

        edit: also, I'm not looking for weird interview shows to make celebrities relatable. they will never be relatable to me, fuck celebrities ❤️

          The juxtaposition of the challenge and the interview was the novelty that I think gave hot ones its initial appeal though, to be trite the suffering is the point

          Have you heard In Vino Veritas? this is the same, but you degrade their faculties with pain instead of CNS depressants.

      If it makes you feel better they also didn't think it would do so well/work when they started.

      Hot Ones has turned from a semi-prank show cracking jokes in a semi-populated corner of the internet to a heavy hitter on the talk-show circuit.

      Maybe seeing dj kahlid not be able to handle cholula then clowned on for his inhiblity to actually give an answer to any question?
