Feeling Hot Hot Hot!

I must be the world's biggest idiot.

I've already made a fool out of myself by letting Buceta document my stage fright, as seen in my Live And Unhinged video. But this next one is going to be the death of me…I know it already.

See, back when we were working together, I tried to get Buceta to do a segment where he'd have to consume some of the hottest, spiciest sauces in the world. He declined, citing the fact that it would make him sick to his stomach. As a result, I've been calling him a pussy ever since.

Myself, I LIKE spicy stuff. I'm not a maniac or anything, but I do enjoy my food with a bit of a bite to it. I've consumed things in my day that would knock a dragon on its ass, just for kicks. Of course, I usually regret it later, but that's beside the point right now.

I recently found out about a place called "Duff's" here in Toronto, which claims to serve the hottest wings in the city. They call them "Armageddon" wings. To give you an idea of how hot this stuff is: heat is measured by "Scoville units" A raw jalapeno pepper measures 1,500 scovilles. These wings are allegedly 850,000 units. NICE.

I mentioned this to Buceta, and started bugging him about the time we wimped out on me. I believe the word "pussy" was used about half a dozen times. Finally he shot back with "Yeah, I'd like to see YOU eat those things."

"Dude, I could eat 10 of those suckers and smile doing it."

"Really? Care to make it interesting?"

So next week, Buceta and I will be heading down to Duff's for the Hot Wing challenge. And he's even going to be nice enough to videotape it, so that the entire internet can feel my pain. Ain't he sweet?

Here's the deal…we haven't nailed down a particular day yet, but it's definitely happening next week. If you're one of my Toronto readers, and you want a front-row seat to the carnage, email me and I'll let you know all the details. Wagering will be encouraged. Other than that, the video WILL be posted here in the near future.

I'm going to die, aren't I?
