If you've ever wanted to hear some great, behind-the-scenes stories from "Weird Al" Yankovic while watching him eat insanely hot vegan wings, you are in luck.

Yankovic sat down with First We Feast's "Hot Ones" to talk about his career while chomping down on increasingly spicy wings. He discussed everything from how Napster made people think he was responsible for terrible parodies he didn't write to the time he did Celebrity Wheel of Fortune with James Brown.

It's delightful not just because Weird Al is a legend and his stories are hilarious, but because there's still something dark inside all of us that enjoys watching someone voluntarily put themselves through this kind of suffering.
