This is hurting me way more than it's hurting him. His mouth is on fire.

This is Hot Ones Versus.

In front of these contestants is a deck of deeply personal questions.

They can either tell the truth... I'll give you a hint, bro.

...or suffer the wrath of the last death.

Whoever eats the most wings loses.

I'm ready to answer whatever questions they got.

This is Hot Ones Versus, brought to you by C4 Energy.

Damn. All right.

Let's go. Cheers, man.

You joined the Miami Heat as a rookie in 2023.

Take the opportunity to give me, a veteran player since 2027, three pieces

brutal feedback on my game.

Wow. I would say, number one, in the post, I'm sure Aja can attest to this

too, sometimes you just got to go, man. Sometimes you got to stop pump faking

and you just got to go. Remember you 6 '10", you can dunk on everybody.

The sensitivity, yeah, we know we had those talks about the sensitivity.

You know, sometimes you got to take it, take it on the chin, keep it pushing.

And then for the third one.

As much as I love you and I'm so happy for you, I am a little sick about Kobe,

man. I am a little sick. I grew up with Kobe, man. That's because you're from L

.A. I'm from L .A. I'm a Kobe guy. I love you. I'm so happy for you, bro. But

still am like, damn, Kobe's my guy.

I never thought anyone would break it, but that's what I'm saying. If anyone

going to be it, I'm happy it's you. See?

My guy. Yeah.

All right. An NBA squad has to be a tightly knit family. As our team

who would you trade from our starting five?

Wow.

Man, we're not lying about these hot questions. Oh, my God.

Okay. Starting five changes from time to time. That is true. But we know who it

is. No, I'm saying we know who the starting five usually is. That's what

saying. Who would I trade?

Yeah.

You could eat a wing. You could do that, too. Yeah, fuck.

Who starts first right now? To me, Tyler, Davion, Wigg, and Khalil?

Yeah.

Sorry, big fella. You got to go.

Wow. Sorry, big fella. I love you. Wow.

Sorry, big fella.

Khalil. You're the youngest. You got the most potential.

All right. This is a wild card.

Okay. All right. In this challenge, we must put our basketball skills to the

test. We'll each spin a basketball on one finger. Whoever drops the basketball

first must eat a death wing. But before we get started, let's cheers our C4

Energy Mango Fuego to get locked in.

Are you pretty good at spinning a ball on your finger? Yeah, I'm actually nice

at it.

I gotta get my hands ready.

Alright, I'm ready.

Wow, so I won? Yeah, you won.

Wow. Let's go.

Oh, I'm nervous looking at you, man. I don't know why, bro.

Nice.

There it is, bro.

Does it taste good?

Oh, it's hot.

Off rip? Like that?

No warm -up? Just straight burn?

All right, I'm up. You kind of took that like a champ.

You just took the title of most points scored in the single game in the modern

NBA with 83 points.

What size of the competition?

Rank these current players from best to worst.

Nikola Jokic, Victor Wimonyama, Joel Embiid, Bam Arbaia.

Nikola, me, Joel.

I think that's a pretty good ranking right there.

And why did you rank him first?

I'm a humble guy.

Friendship test.

I'm going to write down my answer and you have to guess my response.

Guess wrong and eat a death wing.

Oh, shit.

I've admitted publicly that my favorite pop artist is Katy Perry. What is my

favorite Katy Perry song?

Is this a real question?

Yeah. So you have to write it down and I have to write it down?

I'm trying to think of even Katy Perry songs.

Now you got to think about it, huh?

Can I get a hint?

No. No.

Really?

I'm only thinking of three Katy Perry songs off the top of my head.

You ready?

Yeah. If I get this.

Damn.

Damn.

That's a good one though.

Alright. Give it a go.

There it is.

There it is.

I'm going to try to hold off for a second.

I'm going to let it just... Pretty hot.

Never mind.

Hot questions and even hotter wings.

All right. Friendship test. Hey, here we go. I studied history in college.

What figure from history would I most want to have dinner with?

Now, what are we doing?

That's a good question.

I don't know how to spell it, but...

His mouth is on fire.

I don't know how to spell this.

Okay, history?

This is hurting me way more than it's hurting him. My tongue is, like, burning

right now.

But I'm ready. I got my answer.

I'll give you a hint, bro.

Roman Empire.

That does not help me at all. I know it doesn't help. I gave it to you because I

knew you were going to know.

I have no idea.

Give it a guess, bro.

William Shakespeare.

That's a good guess.

Except I'm pretty sure he's British, but it has nothing to do with the Roman

Empire. Ready? Who is it? He's about to... Margus Aurelius.

Meditations, baby.

Roman Empire.

What are we doing?

Thank God.

You know about stoicism?

Yeah. It's just being one with yourself and, you know, understanding nature, the

human body, the human mind.

Really just...

forward and ahead of his time.

You know, you've got to be present in the moment and be thankful that I'm here

eating hot chicken wings.

He's really struggling right now. I am struggling. I don't know how you're so

straight, man. Like, Jesus.

A rite of passage for NBA players is to release a signature shoe.

And you debuted your custom Mexico -inspired Air Jordan in 2025.

Rank these five signature shoes from worst to best. Best to right, best to

worst. I don't know. I really like these LeBrons for sure.

I don't know what silhouette this is for LeBron, but I thought it was really

cool. I'm probably going to do the shades.

I really like them. I think they're really nice.

KDs, I've always liked this shoe.

I'm going to go Mellos and then Hardens. I mean, honestly, these last two, I'm

not really the biggest fan, though, just personally.

I don't know. I've never been a fan of like, you know, your left foot's a

different color, your right foot's a different color. I've just never been a

fan. The Hardens, I don't know. It feels like a sock, you know.

That's just, I don't know.

That's just why I don't like it.

As a child, your mom gave you the nickname after the Flintstones

Bam. You must answer trivia questions about famous Bams. Get one wrong and you

need a death link. Hold on, what?

What's a famous pro wrestler?

was known as the Beast from the East.

It's funny because I see all these memes.

Yeah. But I can't remember his name.

Well, his name, the first one, his name is the same as your name.

I mean, Bam, yeah.

Yeah. Well, that's one of the Beasts.

It's not Bam Bam Bigelow?

Yes, you got it. Bam Bam Bigelow. Hey, there we go.

Nice, nice, nice.

All right, this is one of my favorite guys right here. I actually know this

What famous rapper turns chef's nickname is Bam Bam Baklava?

What? The Big Baklava. Come on, man.

Big Baklava. He's got his own ice cream at the kids' stores. He's got a show.

Fuck, that's delicious.

You seen it?

I don't know.

This might be the one we get you on.

Action Bronson.

The young Bronsolino.

I forgot that.

Another wing.

Fine with that, bro.

I'm taking L's, bro.

That's all right.

I tried to help you out. Young Bronsolino.

Hey, how you doing? I'm all right.

I gave him the freebie with ranking the shoes. I appreciate that, guys. How was

he supposed to get that wrong?

All right. Cheers to the last round, my friend.

Your nickname is Wanwick. Due to your resemblance to movie star Keanu Reeves,

let's see how well you know Keanu's movies. I will read plot descriptions

the back of VHS boxes, and you must tell me which movie is describing.

All right. This one, it either definitely.

A young FBI agent goes undercover to learn if a group of wild surfers is

actually a gang of bank robbers.

Point break.

Ooh, got that one right.

Let's go.

Come on.

An LAPD SWAT team specialist is sent to a diffusion bomb that has been planted

on a bus.

That's it?

Yeah, that's it.

Can I get the movie here?

It was 94.

94?

That doesn't help me at all. You weren't even born.

I wasn't. So a guy, he's stopping a bus in Los

Angeles in 1994.

With Keanu Reeves? I have no idea.

Like, I have no clue whatsoever.

I didn't even know what to guess. I was going to say, like, Hijacked or

something, but, like, I don't even know if that's a real movie.

Speed.

Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed that.

Sorry, buddy.

All right.

That was a big bite.

Yeah, I don't know what you're doing.

I think my tongue is just numb.

I just, I don't know. It felt better than the first one. The first one felt

worse.

Oh, hold on.

It's kicking in.

It's a tradition around here to put a little extra on the last wing. You and

your opponent can add extra dap to your final wings now.

Are we picking right now?

Oh, shit.

I don't know, bro. The least spicy is one that's cool with me.

Okay, let me see.

Okay. Nah, this right here, I'm cool.

I like Apollo.

That one seems innocent.

Yeah, but this is what I had.

This is a bad day.

Yeah, I'm going to do it right now.

There you go. I'm not going to kill myself.

There you go.

Don't be scared of it.

Every basketball player's journey starts by shooting hoops with their friends.

In this final challenge, we're taking it back to where it all started with the

classic game of horse. He's sweating.

Yeah, I am. The loser must eat a deathling. We're going to play horse?

Where are we playing horse?

We're bringing this hoop right here.

That's regulation.

That feels like nine.

There you go. That's ten.

We're just going to shoot all left -hand shots because it's close.

All right, lefty.

I might be here all day, ladies and gentlemen.

Okay. Wow.

Off the glass. Off the glass?

It's almost like professionals or something.

Behind the tape. Yeah.

Behind the chair.

Oh!

How'd that go in and out? Off the glass.

See, my uncles used to do this.

It would just shoot off the glass. Off the glass.

Oh, my God. Thank you. He has an R. I'm just fighting right now. I need to put

some pressure on.

I was so lucky. I didn't even want to really make that one.

We got a game, ladies and gentlemen.

Oh, my God. Those are the most nervous sins.

Sorry, I don't know.

Left hand.

Miss it again.

Game is not over. Off the glass.

Oh, my God, man. Just miss already.

Anything is possible.

We need to do another one. I'm going to do a little dab.

My final dab.

Oh, God.

Sorry, buddy.

Great experience.

Obviously, I came here to win.

I did that.

Should have been a tie.

He's trying to get his thoughts and prayers.

Yeah, he's struggling over there.

Like I said, it's a lot of shared suffering. It was a lot of sacrifice to

out victorious.

and not have to eat a death wing with extra sauce.

Cheers.

Hey,

you.

Spread love.

Spread positivity.

His tongue is about to fall out of his mouth.

And stay hot, ladies and gentlemen. Stay hot.
