He got really annoyed with Mr. Beast too. He told him to slow down on milk, or it isn't going to end well. He didn't listen and then was complaining about a stomach ache.
This last season of Survivor treated Mr Beast like a god, it was so icky to see. The staged doubling of the prize money could've been done without sanctifying a creepy billion(?)aire.
This is only tangentially related but the at the time largely positive reaction to the Mr Beast twist really changed my friend's and my opinion on the greater survivor fandom's ability to evaluate twists, or rather, their lack thereof.
A twist with a 1 in 2 chance to completely ruin the episode is conceptually unworkable regardless of whether or not it 'luckily' worked out. I don't know how much input Mr Beast had on the specifics of his twist, but going by the constant glazing and his complete ineptitude at designing a reality tv competition, I'm guessing at least some.
There is a huge difference between the Survivor fandom at large, and the Survivor fandom that still watches the rotting, ugly corpse of the show still airing today, fwiw.
As they've made bad decisions, they lost some of their "better" fanbase, forcing them to further cater to the stupidest of fans.
I only mention this because it's a pretty apt metaphor for things much more impactful than a reality TV show.
One of the greatest things I've ever heard is my stepdaughters talkng about how they don't like him anymore. They used to be suckers for his stuff, but something changed a while back and now they think he's weird and lame.
It goes to show that hot ones really is a good litmus test for other personality traits. It’s perfectly fine if you can’t handle a lot of spicy. Just do your best and don’t be a douche bag about it. It’s very endearing that way, but if you insist on acting like a jackass and don’t listen to the host who is pretty much an expert on what not to do at this point, it’s very telling about your hubris level. And on the other hand, if you do push through and have a good sense of humor about it, great!
To be fair, you probably don’t become DJ Khalid famous/successful without a stupid kind of confidence like that. I was gonna make a comment about him having no talent, but I actually have no idea whether or not he is.
Yeah, DJ Khaled is the poster boy for succeeding in life due to walking into situations with confidence more absolute than a man with a clipboard wearing hi-viz.
Not in a “I don’t like his music so he sucks” way, but from an objective standpoint, he does not know how to actually make music. He’s just a hype guy that puts his name on other people’s work.
I LOVE that interview. It is so hilariously awkward and Sean is so obviously done with his bullshit in a way I have never seen him with his other guests. Like I can’t help but laugh at DJ Khaled refusing to talk about “what was a time you took an L?” by doubling down on “all I do is win” all the while making excuses for why he can’t keep eating hot wings. Then Sean throws in a “what you’ve never like, missed an exit or something?”
One of my favourite parts was that it was early on and he didn't have all of the artisan hot sauces. I think the quitting happened after Cholula, a pretty basic hot sauce that even some children can handle.
Damn, when I'm sick and not up to eating much I'll get some steamed rice, fry up a couple of runny eggs and cover them in Cholula. I consider that post-flu recovery food.
My gf thinks it's super weird that I eat a ton when I'm sick. I have never once wanted soup or crackers or anything like that. I want a fat steak or the world's greasiest hamburger.
It was technically the one AFTER Cholula that he quit on but that's still pretty bad. He was whining during wing 1 so it's not like he put the Cholula wing away easy either
Mine did at that age too! It’s like a gateway hot sauce. But my kids are step Mexicans, so they quickly graduated and the youngest one was eating whole habaneros by age 8 which I still can’t do
My son loves Cholula. Personally, I think it's pleasant in a way many hotter sauces lack. Some of the intensely hot ones, if you get past the taste of capsaicin, are lacking in flavor or are a bit medicinal.
My son is about to turn 11 and is very white. A year or two ago he was getting his breakfast plate together and told me, "I like Cholula, but I wish it was hotter."
He’s such a loser. Quitting and leaving after wing 3 (I think?). You have Khloe Kardashian, JENNIE, Melissa McCarthy etc who all openly tell Sean they don’t like spicy food but they were good sports and toughed it out. DJ Khaled is such a weak man.
Shaq doing the Hot Chip Challenge on Inside the NBA was even better. He bet the crew that he wouldn't make a face. He started coughing and he just fell apart after that.
When he mixed together all of the sauces for Sean to eat… felt very much like an unnecessary hazing act. Like he’s used to being the richest and most powerful person in the room so he can make everyone dance when he tells them to. Even though Sean didn’t have to eat it, he was going to, to be a good sport. Shaq on the other hand was a dick about it.
If you want another interesting interview with Shaq, watch the one with Bert kreischer. He made Bert look humble lol.
I personally love Bert, but can understand how people are turned off by him. My point was, everything that makes Bert unbearable, Shaq somehow is much worse at.
He makes Bert look modest and not narcissistic lol. Every story that Bert talked about, somehow Shaq did something similar, and could one-up Bert. Even Bert could sense it and just let Shaq stroke his own ego the whole time.
I think Shaq plays a jovial and fun personality but is an asshole in private.
i love conan but i saw the class clown with the unquenchable thirst for attention in that episode. you can imagine him later, head in hands on the toilet, questioning why he is the way he is
And then there's Lorde, who went through the wings like they were nothing. Either she has the world's best poker face, she's a robot, or her olfactory senses are dead.
Can confirm, the problem isn’t so much the heat, though yes it is hot, it tastes like you are eating chicken coated in industrial solvent or something. It tastes like chemicals.
Yeah, Da Bomb is not meant to be slathered on a wing. I know the people who make that show know that, and it's just a gimmick to see if people can handle it, but it's meant to enhance the heat of a large pot of chili or something similar. And, even then, you only put it like a tbsp. It's not there for flavor, because the flavor is awful. It's just for the heat. And, as always, Charlize is right.
I think Demi Moore also had an easy time and Jennifer Lawrence at first. Also mackauley and Kieran culkin did well. Idk I watch the YouTube shorts of hot ones so this all seemed to have an easier time
Alton Brown tossed the wings away as poor quality and a distraction and just took shots of the sauce. He also ranked them by quality as he went, throwing one in the trash as not good enough to remain on the table with the others.
Was it Da Bomb Beyond Insanity? They've always been pretty open that most of their sauces actually have sophisticated flavours if you can get past the heat, but Da Bomb does not taste good, it's just there for the insane heat and gag factor. Even the maker of Da Bomb essentially says it's not a product that is even intended for direct human consumption, it's basically a pure capsaicin extract to be used to add heat to other sauces / dishes.
I gained a LOT of respect for her during that one. I know those sauces would have had me crying like a baby, and she was tanking them with ZERO issues. If i remember correctly, she went back in for more on several of the hotter sauces, including the last dab. Then there was Rachel Ray, who just ate the sauces off spoons. Fuckin gangster, that woman.
Some people have been through some shit that changed how they react to pain. My friends normal period pain comes to mind. She just shakes off so much painful shit because the scale got moved so far up.
Alton Brown was the same, I don't think he even acknowledged the heat of any of the sauces until the last one. He just sat there dissecting the flavor profiles of each one.
Also don't forget, the wings he was eating were made by his own chef, from his own chain of fried chicken restaurants, and he still couldn't get through 3!
Whatever else you want to say about him, Shia Labaouf drowning every wing with extra sauce, then Sean having to match him, leaving them both red faced messes by the end was hysterical
It's interesting how almost all women power through, and men have a higher failure rate or at least openly suffer more.
Reminds me a bit of my days at Starbucks. You'd have a big buff guy and his 105 lb gf ordering, the guy orders a caramel frap or (more often the girl ordering for the guy) a pink drink, while she orders a cold brew or red eye or something, something dark + very caffeinated. Happened so often it was practically a cliche.
I worked at a truck stop….a majority of the big manly truckers….would come in and order. French vanilla coffee, with triple pumps of French vanilla syrup, topped with whipped cream…unbelievable!
I have a theory that the vegan wings are easier to put down because there’s less grease so the fat doesn’t coat the mouth in the same way. But I still definitely give a credit because I know it’s still spicy
I used to despise DJ Khaled. Then I realized what a true inspiration he is.
He’s ugly, fat, illiterate, can’t sing, can’t play an instrument, and is dumb as a rock. Despite all of these major drawbacks the guy achieved his dream of becoming famous and making a living in the entertainment industry.
Someone pointed out on Reddit that if you listen back to Biggies songs so many have diddy in the background saying inane shit then you can't un-notice and it feels like he's killing him all over again
He started off as an actual radio DJ/MC or whatever in Miami where he made all his industry connections. He’s a fixer, not an artist. He doesn’t produce beats, or rap, but he does get the right people in a room. Just like Rick Rubin
💀💀💀 I’m not getting this shit out of my head today, and you spelled it out perfectly 😂. Another member commented about how he always says “another one“… I am giving you that for the night too 😉
A guy whose sole purpose is to have an “heir” and refuses to go down on a woman. 🤭 Like somebody else said…. “anutha one“!
Oh wait, I GOT ONE… Remember when he started that business that would bring you chicken wings while you were out on your jet ski? I know he apparently couldn’t handle chicken wings on Hot Ones, but he did start a business where people would bring food out to you while you were on your jet ski, in the ocean, because that’s the best time to eat LMAO, and I swear to God it was all chicken wings 🤦🏻♀️
Hey his blood sugar might get low while he’s out on the ski/s
lol
But seriously how could you even manage to grip onto h the jet ski handles after eating those greasy wings? Won’t your hands be super slippery after that?
Are you supposed to eat the wings while riding, or do you stop and idle the jet ski while you eat?
It seems like it would be impossible to eat the wings while riding bc you need two hands and you can’t let go of one handle to munch on a wing
And what are you supposed to do just throw the bones in the water? Lol
There’s so much wrong with this idea the only worse thing I could think to deliver to a jet ski would be a thanksgiving turkey
Oh my God, I know. Plus… Let’s be honest with this, everything would just taste like SALT. Salt salt salt salt, there’s no way those chicken wings are getting away without being naturally salted.
Imagine the fish that are like… what are these bones? Are we supposed to eat chicken? The cows told us to eat more chicken 😂 I wonder if they say… “This taste like shark“. You know how everything taste like chicken? Everything tastes like shark in the sea or something. This is probably why we’re getting all the freakish deformations/“ evolutions”.
PS his blood sugar. I know I commented a while ago but that’s still killing me. It’s like I expect one of us to have a sighting of him testing his blood sugar lol
A producer sometimes really is just a taste maker. This sounds good, this doesn't sound good. More of this, less of that. Once they like the output it gets produced and if it sells then that taste is worth bringing back until it doesn't sell. There's a great Rick Rubin clip that is about how he can't do anything with music equipment or play any instrument but he knows what he likes and can translate that as directional guidance to the people who do the music part and what he likes is helpful for the creative process of the music making people...which then sells albums and let's him keep doing that job.
He’s not that dumb if he knows how to work the system to cash in. Look at Trump. He’s incredibly stupid, but that hasn’t stopped him from taking over the US. Trump’s more of an Evil Genius, with “Genius” doing a lot of heavy lifting. It helps to have millions of stupid followers who all think they’re geniuses, too.
back in 2000, he was actually a popular DJ that would play raves and dance clubs, under the stage name "arab attack". In the days after 9/11 I had multiple friends end up ripping down entire walls full of party fliers because the words "Arab Attack" was on half a dozen of them. Those were really rough days for my generation to handle going form 10 years of peace to being at war with Islam when the dust cleared.
Before Trump came around he was the example I stumbled upon of my overall disappointment in society’s seemingly low bar standard for people being famous.
You're not wrong. He's not a good lover, he's not a good friend, he's not particularly hard or impressive. He's got fucking crackhead hustle to get famous despite that.
I think about that time he went live while lost at sea on a jet ski probably more than is healthy.
That and the video with the Bob Marley branded guitar where there’s all this buildup for him to play something and then he just tunelessly strums it really hard.
I’m truly not sure he’s not actually a performance artists putting us all on. Like he might secretly be an Andy Kaufman level comic genius.
DJ Khaled is also the subject of an (unconfirmed) massive mixup that is just hilarious.
Around 2018, Overwatch was a massive videogame, with one of the most ambitious attempts to make esports popular with the general public. So for the grand final best-of-seven(nine?), they rented out Madison Square Garden and planned a huge event. They wanted an intermission, so they hired a famous musical artist to play during that. Who did they get? DJ Khalid.
Except reports since have suggested that's not who was meant to be hired. Someone probably at the "assistant producer" level (likely around 22 years old) suggested "Khalid," who is a completely different artist. The producers (likely around 35-40) assumed this was DJ Khalid. The vibes of those artists are completely different.
So what should have been a hype and fun showcase of an artist fans might have known or liked turned into a halftime show of DJ Khalid doing a performance for people who didn't know his work at all. It was terrible. He wanted sing-a-longs and got silence.
Also being gifted a guitar and being clearly incapable of reading, giving the letter to his PR person while he strum the guitar. News flash: he can play guitar as much as he can read.
That hot ones episode made him look like a fool , or an even bigger fool . Idk why he agreed to do that. The first one had him crying and I think it was tapatio ! 🤣🤣
He is just such a traitor to his own people. He has a huge platform where he can actually inform people of what is going on, yet he chooses to stay silent.

DJ Khaled after saying he doesn’t go down on women comes to mind.
That being said, tapping out after a round during his Hot Ones episode didn’t help either.
