In a recent episode of “Hot Ones,” comedian Stavros Halkias joins host Sean Evans to tackle the infamous “wings of death.” Known for his stand-up comedy and his podcast “Stavvy’s World,” Halkias is no stranger to spicy food. He even brings his own ranch dressing to the show, claiming it’s better than milk for cooling down the heat.
Throughout the episode, Halkias discusses various topics, including the rise of “crowd work” comedy, the quintessential elements of a Greek diner, and his unwavering support for the Baltimore Ravens. He also shares anecdotes about bizarre venues he’s performed in, like a seafood restaurant where a comedian was stabbed with a crab shell.
The conversation shifts to his fitness journey, encapsulated in his YouTube series “Stavi Gets Ripped,” and his experience in the indie film scene with his new comedy “Let’s Start a Cult.” Halkias emphasizes his love for creating and starring in movies that make the audience laugh and leave them a bit stupider, in the best way possible.
As the wings get progressively hotter, Halkias remains a good sport, even as the heat intensifies. He praises some of the sauces for their flavor, particularly the habanero-based ones, while critiquing others for being too salty or lacking flavor.
In the end, Halkias’s humor and resilience shine through, making for an entertaining and spicy episode of “Hot Ones.”
