The hot wings first we feast channel

It's entertaining but I got tired of the premise

I feel like, if they ditched the hot wings, it would still be a good interview.

[โ€“] Throw_away_migrator 3 points 5 months ago

I get what you're saying, but the eating and the spiciness of the wings actually contribute to the quality of the interview.

  1. Eating a meal with someone is disarming and contributes to the relaxed, ungaurded nature or his guests.

  2. Consuming spicy food, particularly extremely spicy food or spicy food in great quantity releases endorphins which.

So while yes the eating/reacting to how hot the sauce is does interrupt the flow of the interview somewhat, it does help him get good/candid answers for his guests.

So while his research team is outstanding and he's a talented interviewer in his own right. The hot wings do serve a role in the interview as more than a clickbaity gimmick.

After the DJ Khaled episode I knew nothing else would be as entertaining for me so I stopped there

Eh, Iโ€™d argue the recent Conan episode is pretty insane and hilarious. Much more so than Khaled.

The DJ Khaled one was him just completely embarassing himself unintentionally. Funny because he's so full of himself. Conan's was funny, but you knew it was going to be before watching because it's Conan

Yeah, but you already knew DJ Khaled's was going to be stupid and embarrassing before watching because it's DJ Khaled.
