Summary
We are mixing it up with this episode, and let's just say that things get a little bit spicy!
If you haven't subscribed to our YouTube channel yet, then now is the time b/c you will want to watch this one there for sure.
In this episode, I (editor Chris) join as host to take Des and Kara through the Hot Ones challenge, using the hot sauce line-up from Season 27 of the show. Hot Ones is the show with hot questions and even hotter wings, but since we recorded this in Austin, we swapped in smoked brisket for hot wings, with all of the same sauces from the show.
To start, we cover fun running questions and then get into deeper life stuff as the bites getting hotter. Des and Kara hang in there pretty well until brisket bite #8, when things drastically fall off the rails as we hit the infamous "Da Bomb" sauce. Des starts sweating dramatically from the sides of her nose, and suddenly Kara can't form a coherent sentence.
In addition to the hilarious spectacle of it, you learn some fun stuff along the way including their post-long-run food of choice, their alt Olympic sport from another life, some very questionable road-trip hygiene choices, and how they remain authentic in the public eye (plus so much more).
How will these two Olympians handle the challenge?!? Tune in to find out!

| 1:07.0 | Who made the questions, Chris? I did. So they don't know the questions. I know the questions. I'm hosting. Okay. But what we're going to do is going to go through from older or less hot to really hot, and we'll see how we do. Okay. Starting with you, Kara, because you seem to be the one thinking about this most. What are you, how are you preparing? What were you thinking |
| 1:28.3 | about yesterday? I know you seem to be the most anxious. I googled. I'm not to handle this. |

| 1:54.0 | We are doing brisket today, slices of brisket from a local barbecue place, one of my favorites, Rudy's barbecue, instead of wings because we are in Texas and we figured when in Rome, go with Brisket and barbecue. |
| 2:05.7 | Hopefully this doesn't ruin Brisket for Des and Kara, who I don't think get to have it as often as I do, but we're going to go one at a time and we're going to see how it goes. |
