Cheese girl was blonde, chocolate girl was brunette, hot sauce guy is ginger. No way this is coincidence.

This dude is definitely from Chicago. Probably same neighborhood as John Mulaney. Maybe the same house. Potentially the same person

This guy is next level. "Oh, I just ate a very spicy hot sauce. Let me cool my mouth down with Sriracha"

The fact that he still managed to provide detailed explanation and critique after suffering from the heat really shows how much of an expert he is :)

I've watched a few of these videos now and feel confident in giving you this guide, which happily applies to nearly all foods: if it looks uniform and/or processed, it's the cheaper one.

Plants: We'll use capsaicin as a defense mechanism. Humans: How'd that work out for ya?

This series has definitely become one of my all time favourites. Even if you’re watching an episode about something you aren’t a huge fan of, you enjoy listening to what they have to say. It’s the true passion for their craft, that is truly memorizing !!

Imagine how insulted you will be if you called yourself a hot sauce and someone straight up uses you to cool down instead. That's one hell of a burn

If you close your eyes, John Mulaney is giving you a very relaxed hot sauce demonstration.

I would have liked a little more introduction regarding who he is and what makes him a hot sauce expert.
