The speaker was invited to appear on a popular talk show called "Popcorn" hosted by Domingo, where they proposed a game called "The Closest Extreme" where guests have to taste hot sauces and guess their Scoville scale rating. The speaker was nervous but welcomed by the team and enjoyed meeting the guests, including Squeezie, Julien Favreau, and Zac. The game involved tasting various hot sauces, including a mango and carrot sauce, a "Toxic Frog" orange sauce, and a "Sports Bag" sauce. The speaker and guests reacted to the increasingly spicy sauces, with some struggling to handle the heat. The final sauce, which had a Scoville rating of 3 million, was particularly intense. Despite the challenges, the speaker enjoyed the experience and appreciated the opportunity to meet new people and push themselves out of their comfort zone.
