DAVE GROHL “SH*T his BRAINS OUT” after appearing on HOT ONES, according to host SEAN EVANS.
Dave Grohl’s appearance on the YouTube series “Hot Ones” in 2022 has gained legendary status, with the Foo Fighters frontman easily making it through even the hottest of chicken wings while simultaneously doing shots of whiskey.
Recalling having Grohl on his show during an appearance on a new episode of the podcast “2 Bears, 1 Cave,” “Hot Ones” host Sean Evans revealed that while the variety of hot sauces didn’t seem to phase the musician at the time of filming, he definitely felt the heat a few hours later.
“One of my favorite moments is when we shot with Dave Grohl. He brought in a bottle of Crown Royal and he made me go shot for shot as we went wing for wing, you know. It was like this big bonding experience,” Evans said.
“I remember after the shoot, we’re out back in the alley – I don’t even smoke cigarettes, I was just chain smoking with Dave Grohl, you know, ‘cause he’s like, ‘You want a cigarette?’ And I’m like ‘Sure.’ – So, we’re just sitting back there, chatting… And then he goes, ‘Hey, I’ve got a premiere for my movie tomorrow, you got to stick around.’ I was supposed to get on a plane and go back and I was like, I kind of got to stay. So I called my team, I’m like, ‘Is there any way that I can just stay in LA [and] go to Dave’s thing, you know. I’m trying to be best friends with Dave Grohl right now.’
“They said yes, they made it work. So I stayed, went to the premiere, and then afterwards they had this like friends and family Foo Fighters show. So I went and saw Foo Fighters in kind of like an intimate club, which is, like, so cool. But in the middle of the show, Dave goes, ‘So yesterday, I got to do one of my favorite shows of all time. And at 3:00 this morning I woke up and sh*t my f*ckin’ brains out. So this next song is dedicated to Sean Evans, he’s in the audience.’
“It’s like a movie, like, spotlight on me while I’m just standing there in the audience. And then he covered ‘Shame’ and then in the chorus he’d be like ‘Shame.’ And they go ‘Shame on you Sean.’ And by the end of this song the whole crowd was going, ‘Shame on you Sean. Shame on you Sean.’”
