In the latest episode of Hot Ones, Jeff Goldblum is his Goldbum-iest self as he compliments host Sean Evan's teeth, shares his love of Quavo, and talks about how he likes to be called "daddy."

If you've never seen an episode of this hit YouTube series, here are the CliffsNotes: celebrities are interviewed while eating spicy wings that range from mild to mouth-numbingly hot.

The interview begins (as it always does on Hot Ones) with a few softball questions. Goldblum talks about his failed TV show Tenspeend and Brown Shoe, one of his favorite Pittsburgh eateries, and jazz lingo.

Oh, and if you're interested in watching Goldblum expertly scat, I suggest you fast forward to about the 9:20 mark.

Evans asks Goldblum about what kinds of Instagram comments he receives, and if he likes it when his fans call him "daddy."

“Isn’t that sexy talk? I think it means sexy talk," Goldblum asks Evans, before explaining that he is literally a "daddy" to his two children.

“Sometimes they say zaddy," Goldblum added. "What’s that mean? Really hot, more like this side [motions to spicier wings], spicy daddy. Yeah sure, I like it. Zaddy.”

Goldblum is able to keep up with Evans, eating the progressively spicier wings, but has difficulty pushing through when he takes a bite out of the Da' Bomb's Beyond Insanity-coated wing.

But of course, Goldblum perseveres through the rest of the interview, discussing fashion, his fascination with his wife, the hot sauces he sampled.
