Welcome to the Hot Sauce discussion episode of the Sampling Molten Lava podcast. Yeah. That happens.

The show kicks off with Chris Taylor, Pernell Vaughan, and Aki on hand to initially discuss what we did this past weekend, but Pernell mentions he went to a hot sauce convention in Chicago and things just go off the rails and I think I’m going to drop the money to make Aki taste the hottest hot sauce around right now during a show. We also talk about fruit and Mountain Dew. It’s a weird beginning of the show, that’s for sure. Plus reviews!

Guess who is late this episode and you can win nothing! Did you guess Jacob? Of course we all did!

The show kicks off with Bri Galgano and Aki waiting for Jacob to eventually show up. Which he does. Pretty quick into the show, but we waited like 10 minutes to start without him. So YEAH. We cover the news of the week including the latest Xbox Game Pass additions and departures, Forza Horizon 5 sales on PlayStation, Square Enix news, a Jackbox delay, and of course there’s more layoffs in the industry, this time at Virtuos. Sad face. Plus reviews!
