[Music] hello and welcome back to the hot ones museum of curiosities i'm your curator sean evans here to show off some new exhibits like the quarter water signed by jesus and marrow we have a jug of milk signed by jimmy butler and of course stolen right from my bedside it's a framed picture of me and shaquille o'neal artifacts from the season that was and that's why we're here to talk about season eight and we'll begin of
course in controversy corner shaquille o'neal does he belong on the wall of shame on the last wing we have bets we have side bets we have double downs and eventually it's like well where does it all end does eddie wong belong in the
wall of shame because he started with wings 10 and 9 and didn't eat the rest should tyra banks be on the wall of shame because she tapped in camera guy bill to eat her mad dog wing should the nibblers of nibblegate all be banned to
the wall of shame themselves maybe i don't know it's just there's too much responsibility and power to bear when you're adjudicating a chicken wing talk show but listen we hear you and we will be doing a full audit of our wall of shame protocol to figure out how we're going to operate going forward chris schoenberger his laptop has already been subpoenaed camera guy bill he's been sequestered no collusion going forward in controversy corner who
gate billy eilish who offset who who who our humble hope is that even if you don't know the guests there's no better way to get to know them than over the wings of death and honestly the fan feedback that i love the most because
when someone's like you know i didn't know who this person was going in but now i'm a fan i love when granny lydia chris schoenberger's 92 year old grandma sends her review emails and talks about how much she liked the offset episode or
how my friend trent's dad pete shout out pete is listening to the billy eilish album because he liked her hot ones episode you know it's a wild expectation to think that every single thing you watch is going to be tailored to your
specific tastes and interests all right that's enough of that rant that's enough of my whining that's enough of my passive-aggressive lecturing to the fans because now it's time to get into the season 8 q a chris hit me with the bucket oh season 8
questions man he has been waiting to do that for months there's some creaking back here all right first question bmpark12 asks which interviews are you most proud of if that's too difficult which ones were the craziest um i think that gordon ramsay given the expectations and the way that we executed against those expectations proud of the team for that one another one is john mayer you know i'm always partial to when somebody's kind of
dragged in the media for years and years maybe people see a different side of them on hot ones that's something that we take pride in and then in the same way i think that russell brand is another episode that it was the same
thing you know people whine and complain when they see the thumbnail and then they fall in love with the episode so when we're kind of able to win people over when it's anarchy in the comments those are the times that i'm proud when
we deliver a good episode dennis ivanov asks what are the most annoying youtube comments to you ultimately they are what they are and i can live with pretty much all of them you know i feel like it's just my job to like make the thing and then put it out it's not up to me to decide like what it is or what it isn't people decide what syncs what floats whatever but i know that if you trace the ip address to the person who announces when they're
unsubscribing or when they're not watching i know that if you trace that ip address it goes back to somebody who i could not share a car with for five minutes you know that's all i know why are they being so dramatic about it it's
like they think that we're gonna be like flyers fan 8282 and then we like break glass like we're gonna lose him we're gonna lose him and then all of a sudden we're like rappelling down the side of his house and be like come on man what
do we need to do to keep you in here you know there's no reason to be that dramatic just don't watch like other humans all right lucas middleton asks which is r in case you have wait what the which is slash r in case you have your favorite movies and why difficult to answer because i'm a movie guy i am very much papa chibachu papa moon rock settle into the love sack and see where this night takes us i am very much visiting the arclight rewards
points member cashing them in for fanny packs and free popcorns but let me give you what i think were some of the best movies that i saw this year black klansmen spider-man 8th grade hereditary florida project

from our former intern alex rockefeller what's the weirdest fan interaction you've ever had recently somebody sent us a personal check with a nice note that was like i just like to support uh good content it's like here's 50
bucks like in a personal check uh so that was interesting and awesome i wish more people were like that like they'll just be like just watching something like i like to support them here's and then they just empty out their wall here's 25
bucks like that was awesome tsa agents were big with the tsa i'll always get these dad jokes from tsa agents where they're like pulling you aside i'm gonna patch you down sir you don't have to bomb on you do you like they do stuff
like that you don't have any uh death sauce on you any death wings they do that that has happened on more than one occasion kevin o'donnell asks in sean's opinion what's the most underrated episode guest to date in sean's opinion
trick daddy how you doing this parker goat episode up next what is the one question you always get asked and get tired of answering that's easy you know a lot of people how do you do it how's your butthole what are your
shits like you know like that you know after the first uh 10 000 of those questions then you know eventually now i'm like shell-shocked yeah that's good everything's good thank you thank you okay can you tell the world how your butthole is on
my snapchat okay this one comes from ben mandap did gordon ever come through with the wing sponsorship no but everyone thinks so which is funny which is funny about the internet everyone's like have you noticed the wings look so much better
since gordon's been on the show gordon must have sponsored the wings no they've been the same wings like for i don't know like four or five seasons now it's just been my buddy's playlist but it is funny that people think that
when gordon came that he sponsored the wings and now they're totally new wings they've been the same wings now for quite some time all right jonathan thayer asks after ramsay who's the most popular guest request from fans you haven't got to yet uh you see tyler the creator all the time will smith all the time joe rogan all the time elon musk increasingly um so you know when you when you catch one white whale seven eight nine ten
others pop up so that's why we gotta just keep going just keep traveling just keep popping this thing up all right the joshman asks soft or hard tacos listen i don't care if it's soft or hard as long as it's a corn tortilla i think
that corn tortilla soft shell tacos are the ideal taco for me hard shell tacos also delicious better from the top from the hot one subreddit how did you guys hire your editor colin the story of colin higgins is an inspirational one
and one i hope i tell for years so basically colin used to do these hot ones meme videos and the one that came to our attention was hot ones tyra banks but shawn's a serial killer so we saw this video we laughed we passed it
around and then kind of turned the page but then we had an opening for an editor so we're looking to hire and we kind of turned it into a contest where all these people applied and then maybe we narrowed that field down to 25 and with
those 25 people we sent them the raw footage from terry crews and told them to recreate a couple wings and whoever made the wings that are closest to the platonic ideal of what we want hot ones to be that would be the editor that we
hired and then we took like the best of those three and then we called them in and one of them was collins i didn't even know colin was the guy who did the meme thing or anything i was just like that's pretty good that's pretty funny
this guy's obviously watched the show a ton and gets it so let's talk to him and then when we're talking to colin we figure out that he's the guy who did the tyra banks meme videos what the [ __ ] colin higgins goes from meme video to pretty good editor job with benny's and that's the story of colin your idols become your rivals we all have to keep an eye on him we're all going to be working for collins someday all right anthony paul
asks what's your favorite hot sauce when you're not on the show no hot sauce when i'm not on the show but if i'm going to reach into the cabinet dirty dicks is awesome i like the torch bearer guys i think they make amazing sauces but the best is
queen majesty i'll go on record queen majesty makes the best hot sauce in the world all right what would it take for an ordinary person like myself to get on your show well you know what it's not my show it's
our show and it's not me you have to win over it's them it's the people so don't look at me and be like what do i have to do to get on the show look at them and say what do they need for you to be on the show and there you have your answer all right that's enough of the bucket oh season 8 questions another barn burner the museum of curiosities is open from 8am to 5pm monday through saturday bring a can good and it's half off admission
