The crew kicks off with an epic hot sauce showdown where Jess reveals his new number one favorite is Lolas hot sauce especially the regga original which is absolutely insane on tacos and their ghost pepper version which is surprisingly not too crazy hot because it is mostly jalapenos with some ghost pepper and has this amazing smoky flavor that he discovered when Dixies was going out of business at 95 percent off

The guys get into an absolutely wild story where Ross had to sign a legal waiver just to purchase the Z hot sauce promising not to give it to children or the elderly and then he accidentally got some on his finger and put in his contact lens which literally dropped him to the floor in pain and he had to throw away that pair of contacts because it burned for two full days
