We're back with another episode of The Bigger Than Me podcast. Here is your host air in Pete. As many of you may know, I am a huge fan of Sean Evans. He is one of my favorite interviewers. His style of asking sharp, pointing questions while wings get hotter and hotter and hotter, push the guests to be more focused. They're overwhelmed by that spice, by that tang, and so they get more and more honest as the interview goes on.

As a fan of his, I wanted to pay tribute to him. by having Tim Srigley on and where we can dive in to some very spicy wings, and we can appreciate the work that goes in to developing an episode of Hot Ones. Sean Evans, I can't appreciate you enough. Your role model to me as an interviewer. I'm so excited to do this, to resemble and to learn from your style, and to destroy my face and my taste vibes and everything about myself. Huge thank you for Tim Srigley for being willing to sit down.

This is episode number four. drank whiskey. We've had Halloween additions. We've eaten candy. We've talked to leather, but we have not diving into Hot Wings. How are you feeling? I'm okay. I was pretty confident until we started making these things and opening the bottles and smelling them. And now I have this like tingle going on in my nose just sitting here. I am very nervous. Do you want to start with number one? Let's just see how it goes. Just like jump right into it? Jump right into it. Let's see. Okay. So what is this one. This one's classic hot sauce. 1600 Scoville.

This is made by the Hot Wins crew. The Hot Ones crew. Okay. Cheers. Cheers. Very tame. I'm feeling overconfident, which is my nature. The rest are that easy? Yeah.

We're just getting warmed up. There's going to be no problem. I wore a white shirt so you can see my badge of shame all across my shirt. We're now moving on to. Chiquandas shouted to Chakwanda and her

I can't even pronounce this Banji ranch Banji ranch Yeah there's some chives Some chile Earthy heat

Cheers We're sitting at 6200 Scoville So this is I'm not good in math So we're gonna say

Like three times Something like that That's I think it should still be okay Okay Ready I don't want to say I'm a big strong man

but mushroom pretty Oh yeah It wasn't really cocky Can we agree It tastes like cream of mushroom soup It kind of tastes like cream of mushroom soup But this one isn't supposed to be It's supposed to be a ranching

The mushroom one comes later That's weird that that tastes like mushroom soup It might be one of those things where it looks like it So it tastes like it I don't know It's in your head That was good How are you so far

I'm doing dead Feeling feeling overconfident It's all the training you put in for this Yeah I've been eating spicy everything for the past few days and then I start sweating and Rebecca starts worrying

always makes me feel warm and fuzzy so catch us up a few quick questions first you brought on sponsors onto your leather workshop yeah I get in there I got what did I get free like they sent me like a laser cutter engraver thing

so I did a review of that and it's a really cool machine and then do you miss the old school style you're a person who likes that heritage style working through it how do you feel about the laser i still do the old school style a little more than the laser the laser's really cool um actually oh did you see the video i did i did some coasters for um yes matthew with the uh with the whiskey channel i still haven't got them to him yet but um yeah i made like little coasters and i just did his logo on it so that was cool and then I've had a couple companies sending me leather and making stuff, so. That's exciting.

You ready for the next one? I think so. Donis. Donis? Cada'aheho. Cadeo. Cadeo? Sure.

Say it again. Cadejo? Is that it? Cadejo? Sure. It looks ominous. Look at the. 36,000.

No, sorry, 15,000. So a little more than double what we just had, Chiquanda. I think it's the pepper that's getting me. You put pepper on this. I don't think it's the pepper, man. Oh my God It's disgusting It's so gross

I wonder if they know how gross they are That's getting hotter Now you're soft I'm still I'm still okay but That's definitely Starting to step it up This is nothing

We might as well just go to the last one Because I got this We can't try I am bringing about the mentality of Sean Evans. Yeah. He does it effortlessly. Effortlessly. Like, that's what I'm going to bring.

He doesn't react to any of them. The question is, as an interviewer, can you maintain the mentality of asking the right question throughout the interview as you're also dying? Because a lot of people go, well, it's got to be tough to answer the question. It's got to be tough to ask the question when your face is melting off. What's this one? This one is. Los Caliente Verde

Oh, it's yellow That makes it sound friendly Are you ready? There's something about Being all dark red That's terrifying Yeah, definitely Cheers

This is the two camera Yeah I'm gonna be so Confident By the last one I'm gonna eat it Like I am eating these Looking at that thing

There's a big jump in heat Though at some point Yeah, we're sitting pretty at 36,000 Scoville. Doesn't go to like a million or something stupid? 638,000. Okay, so like 10 times this.

They're not feeling anything yet. Not yet, surprisingly. So it's still sitting there. It's still hot. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm still feeling good. And we're halfway in.

I mean, high five to us. Oh, yeah. We're the boss. Oh, this is easy so far. These whippersnappers over here, they're not brave like us. No.

I'm starting to be, I'm starting to get a little bit concerned though at the halfway point come on man up if i'm not nervous if i'm going into this clear-headed focused driven i like your confidence yeah we're talking about the brooklyn yeah brooklyn deli also this is a that's a ghost pepper i think this is this is a small step it's from 36000 scowville to 39 oh come on slack okay let's do it let's go ready that one that one that one. The last one was like this lip tongue burning thing. This one gives me like

a runny nose. Yeah, this one's just the back of the throat more. Yeah, that's interesting. But we're still good. When we're sitting in 39, the next one's going to be the torchbearer. That's 68,000. That's not bad. You can see why people don't, like in some of them, you kind of surprised at how well they do. Now I'm

starting to understand the landscape. They really like backload the heat on this. So the front ones, they can false confidence. I think it's confidence and I think it lets them get through most of the interview before it just goes off the rails. There you go.

You're down a little bit here. Oh yeah. It's crunch time. I like it. I'll just totally breathe in. I just don't want to exhale anymore. Yeah, that one, that one lingers like the other one. So it's still hot. I didn't ask one question about this. Is there like an end impact of all of this being in our system?

for the next like 24 hours oh i'm like have you have you not experienced the impact in your hot chicken training no tomorrow's going to be worse than today wow so this was ghost pepper that's why it's sitting every time i've had ghost pepper it lingers oh that's been in your pop-by sandwiches yeah and i tried to get it at mucho burrito but the disrespect was real they were like i was like i don't see it and then i was like oh do you have any of your ghost pepper And they're like, yeah, didn't even hesitate. And I was like, okay, maybe they have it in the back. Oh, we're out.

I was just like, I'm trying to prepare here, okay? I'm going for a marathon. They didn't think you could handle it. I think it's what it is. Well, I just handled this one. It was pepper hot sauce. Now we're onto the mushroom mayhem. There's something friendly about this one.

Do you think so? This one? Mushrooms. That's true. We are a fun guy. I'm a living, walking fun guy. Yeah, you are. Yeah.

Man, gnarly. I'm not getting used to the noise. I'm not going to use to the noise, the chewing, the crunching. I'm nervous. Are you? It's not here yet. I'm nervous. I'm not eating as much as I was.

Yeah, he's slowing down. Come on. This is the primary problem with the most being used for both voice and eating. Right here. Yes. I mean, to be clear, my face is just tingles at this point in time. Is it?

Yeah. Yours isn't? You don't feel anything. My lips and my tongue are... That's your mouth. Hey man, that's your mouth. My lips and my tongue and everything. It's not the whole thing yet.

Yeah, it's my lips in my tongue. But that's where all your taste buds are. I don't know where you're thinking your taste buds are. Like your teeth? They're literally worried about being on. Now it's building a little. Yeah, it's building. It's, um, like other people are just existing.

Yeah. my errand's about the crumble Oh yeah he's about the crumble He gets to the bomb and it It's the over Oh god All right I'm good

Well you think you better than me I mean I think there's a point at which You won't be able to taste anything And I think that point is Is we're here We're arrived Yeah Got to jump

Had first eyes close can't lose This one smells spicy Oh you went No You're like instantly hot. Like holding it is hot. It's like my fingers are warm. I've always wanted to know what

101,000 scoffil feels like. That's the first one I would say doesn't taste good. This is bringing up a lot of emotions for me. Is it? This is the one that I've been scared of now, so now I'm feeling nervous. So angry goat? It was supposed to be like a pineapple mango flavor.

were. It just kind of tasted like heat. I am impressed I've made it this far. Were you not expecting it? I thought it was going to start to die on the first one.

Really? And then I smelled the hot. Yeah, this one's starting to do it's actually. Oh, you got the ice cream. Ice cream. Is it helping? Yeah, is it actually helping?

It's so cool. What's him? I'm certain. Yeah. Oh, it's going to have no room. You shove it in there. Yeah, he's just shoveling half the pint. watching

hot ones everyone has an issue with this next one which one this is the bomb yeah this is the well yeah

so this is the one that I'm like most worried about because this is the biggest jump in evil isn't it 101 to 135 okay

it still feels like a big jump yeah car one you're freaking me out now. I mean to freak you up.

I'm just freaking up myself. Thank you for doing this. Yeah, thanks for having me. I'm just going to take the one bite now. I'm done with,

oh no it's strange I'm going to be. We're like, oh, no. That was the worst one so far. By far. Stop being. Does it make sense?

I think he's going to throw up. Oh, I think he's going to throw up. Oh, God. Stop eating. I'm cheating. He's a big cat of coat. He's a big of cat. Oh, he's tearing into it.

He's just completely destroying number nine. Oh, my God. It's him. Oh, no. That's Aaron's number nine. He just ate his Ring So we sort of

One morning Yeah But that was Aering number eight Good job Got ears Yeah 10 really pulled through

Is he Eat way too much Ice cream You've eaten a lot of ice cream Stop eating That's actually More impressive than this That's like a catalyst

Are you regretting this? I think it was regretting it when it arrived. Stop eating. You stop eating. It hurts. They're just sitting here with my face on fire. There's a bunch more wings for them to try after.

Yeah, they can try this and tell me not to eat ice cream. But then it's going to. I left the window open. I thought they couldn't hear me. I scared mine off of this. Thank you. Thank you so much for getting me this. Of course, I made it for you.

Describe it to me. So it's like, I don't know, a little notebook wallet. Wow. Yeah. It's made out of, it's kind of a special leather. So the leather supplier that I buy my leather off of, send me this leather. This is, he calls it as glass jack leather. And it's an Italian leather.

that's made especially for him and he sent me a bunch to make some stuff and so i thought i don't know we should have started this before you could have documented your thoughts on each uh wing but this is really cool i appreciate i love that you you're able to put your what's it called the oh the maker's mark yeah i love your cards too i've given the amount of people yeah of course You run out of your ice cream machine. That was just going to talk about a lot of time hour. Come on.

That was me stalling. Was that clear? Before we get there, can you just tell me about what it was like to be born? Can we really dive into that? What? Just walk me through your entire life. For the past 36 years. Okay, so we made it.

And we're at butterfly bakery. I'm going to be honest. the bomb was terrible It was terrible It tasted bad It's still here It's still here And I just had like

A little Aity baby piece You ate too I had two You're also crying I'm crying But I'm emotional It's not crying

I've eaten the whole tub of ice cream I'm like an emotional rack But we only have two more to go So That's true We're at the We're at the finishing point you got the big wing here

yeah but you know what I'm going to do the smallest bite out of maybe it's delicious it doesn't smell delicious it smells painful do we know if like wings like the heat can burn your your

your tasty I don't know it's probably probably probably better to not look into it yeah how about you'd stop intellectualizing everything it was really nice knowing you yeah I've enjoyed our friendship

to date yeah I think I enjoyed it up into this point you're right though that I should just bite into it like just don't hold back just do like three two one go I did the same thing again

oh look at them go Look at them goes. Oh, my God, Tim. Tim just don't. He is all in. Oh, wow. There are gone. Done.

It's in there. Like, I'm feeling, I'm feeling pretty good. Wow. But it's growing. You may have just inhaled it, though. It may have just surpassed all of your buds, and you may have just... That might be the trick. It's just to swallow each way.

A bone and all. This one is actually not bad. I think I could go again. I want to give it a second. I think you could finish it. Come on. I think you should finish it. finish it

finish it you know Rebecca was actually really worried about my safety and now I can vaguely hear her in the back

of my mind saying just just kill yourself just go all the way do it please kill yourself if you love me

you'll kill yourself that one wasn't bad one oh here we go that was 630,000 Skowville it wasn't

soft enough but don't tell them that Oh, it was sauced perfectly. Oh, no. Why are you the way you are? She was worried about me. At one point in time, she was concerned about my safety. We've thrown that out of the window.

I don't think mine was sourced enough. Oh, what? Oh, what? You're she eating it raw now? Well, no, I feel like mine had no sauce on them. But, like, that one doesn't feel as bad as the bomb was. You're doing good. Your training has worked.

We're at 10. Yeah. I was worried we weren't getting out here. Were you? The pop is the right way to go. I knew we would make it. I knew we would make it. It was really dependent on number one.

Yeah. I agree. Number one was good. The first five were good. It's not through two of them, too. I don't need to just drink that one. Like, have a sip of them. What?

Because I'm burning, man. He's still going to have it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. He's going to do it. He's going to do it. Tim, let's do it. Oh, my God. What is happening?

Tim just, he just drank the song. It's hot, but it's not as hot as the bomb. I'm not worried about that one. That's fine. I don't think it's as hot as they're claiming it is. Who should work for, Holy crap You've eaten an entire thing of ice cream

Okay Monster Man No, no, no, no, let's see your dab first You're, you were bragging, you just drank out of one of them And you're gonna tell me you need to see my dab first This smells horrendously hot I can't imagine conducting a proper interview Well, it wasn't proper about this. No, I mean, Sean Evans has planned out questions all throughout the interview.

The pressure to have my face on fire this much and to ask a good quality question to Kevin Hart told. He's going hard for it. Oh, he's, Tim is going all the way and Tim is just like drenching his wing without hot sauce. Do it. It's all you. Oh, my God. What am I going to do a little? What did I ever?

do to you. What did I do to you for you to do this to me? You dragged me into this. He doesn't need to match him. He doesn't need to match him. Don't have the overconfidence. Oh, no. No, no, no, no. No, no. He just went with me overconfidence. I mean, he's stretching.

Yeah. You come at the king, you best not miss. All right. This overconfidence is going to kill on. I'm going to eat that whole loaf of bread over there. This is ridiculous. He is definitely going to throw up. Please don't, please don't.

We're going to go into this clear-headed. No, it's just the last dad, not the last dose. Oh, my God, okay. Women would never do this. This is why women live longer than men. Yes. Well, that is a fair point. I would say I'm at a two now.

So I'm going into this. This is going to put you at a friggin' 11 immediately. I'm pretty sure. Like, I think this is like a immediately painful heat. Like, some of them are like delayed. This one, I think, is just like painful a whole way. Anyway. Thanks.

Yeah. Not really. I appreciate that. Don't shake it off. I'm making sure that it's everywhere. It doesn't get on the backside. You look at the backside of yours. Look at the backside of it.

Oh, sorry. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You've got to shake it around so you get that nice, clean, persistent luck. Oh, my God. Okay, is your stomach warm? Yeah. Yeah, okay. Everything's warm.

Looking for all the pain. We've made it. Oh, my God. Tim is just, he's going to eat the whole thing. Oh, my. He's eating the whole thing. Oh, my. He's gone for it.

He, did Aaron eat some? Yeah, very little, very little. But Tim went all in. No, I got mostly the sauce. Oh, bad. Oh. I think Aaron looks concerned for Tim now. Oh.

Oh, man. Oh. It's building. It's building. No, no. Stop. Holy goodness. Please, no.

No. You just like, let it set. Let death set. set in. Holy shit. This really hurts. It's hot. I don't want to say.

I don't. Oh, that's hot. That's hot. Oh, my God. He's replaced paper towel with bread towel. I understand nothing. I don't get this.

Thanks for having me, dude. Thanks for doing this, man. I don't even eating the whole breath I don't know they're just looking it out just licking the bread out oh fuck

God Tim's crying how did you do that wow I don't know how we did that how are you just sitting on you're gonna find a happy place It's either fading now or it's a dip in the waves.

You're telling me, man. We're on, folks. You're like November 7. The amount of foodies he made is. It's not good. That's all good. Oh. This camera, this camera, this camera, this camera.

Tell the people what you got going on. I know. Oh, there are that many cameras. Yeah. If you want to learn to make leather things, go follow me on YouTube. Google Black Flag leather goods. That's me. Oh.

I just want a second apiece. Was it as bad as he thought? Worse? This one's just sitting. Oh. There's a bucket there. Yeah. Oh, brother.

Please grab the bucket. I got pet my hair's mold, just in case. Dare you to take another bite? Not on your life. I'm like dizzy. You seem like you're doing better now. I'm just out of things to do. Oh man.
