S2:E8 – TAA-S02Ep08 - VEGAN HOT ONES CHALLENGE with EDDIE BAUMGARTNER - Controversial Vegan Topics Edition! Thoughts on Cell Based Meat, Eating Honey, Backyard Eggs, Dating Non-Vegans & More!

The Aethix Approach

So this episode is going to be a bit of departure from what we’ve done before on the podcast but I think it’s a lot of fun.

Eddie Baumgartner, a vegan powerlifter who was on the podcast in season 1, joins me again for this one but instead of the normal interview style that we’ve done before - we actually did a version of the hot ones challenge for this one. For those who aren’t familiar, the hot ones challenge is a challenge where celebrities are asked 10 questions and they eat a buffalo wing that gets increasingly hotter for each question - as the questions also get more heated.

Eddie and I, two of your favorite celebrities, of course, did our vegan take on this. We both had a plate of five Gardein Ultimate tenders, which - side note - if you haven’t had yet, are absolutely delicious, and we picked 5 hot sauces that increase in scoville rating from 1,700 to apparently, possibly over 2.5 MILLION, although not OFFICIALLY confirmed. Needless to say, Eddie and I were goin’ through it here. After coating each tender in sauce, we went back and forth and asked each other an increasingly more complex question following the theme of controversial vegan opinions. So in our flustered, adrenaline fueled state post-bite, we’d have to answer our opinion on a controversial vegan topic which I think you guys will find very entertaining.

To make things worse, we also didn’t allow ourselves any water, almond milk, or WHATEVER during the whole length of the challenge.

This is one that I recommend watching in video form but if not, the audio recording alone is pretty damn entertaining, I’d say.

You can find Eddie at @eddie.baumgartner on Instagram and YouTube and @theagentbaum on Twitch.

Without further ado, I hope you enjoy our oncoming ridiculousness and suffering!
