We've never been invited to be on the hit show Hot Ones, but that doesn't mean we can't ask each other questions while eating increasingly spicy chicken wings to try to get on the show. Or in some cases, eating increasingly spicy drumsticks. And fries, which are absolutely forbidden and which we had to slap from Travis's sauce-slathered hand.
