[music]

Okay. Let the meeting of Chief Executive Officers

of the label yet to be named, begin.

Okay, so how many artists who want to be signed

sent over their music?

[sighs] None.

Charlie, can you read that back to me, please?

Dylan: How many artists who want to be signed

sent us their music? Rebecca: None.

Great job, Charlie. I think we got everything.

So what's next?

Well, we need to keep moving towards our label's

official launch party. It's set for a month from now.

Question: What good is a launch party

when there's no one to launch it to?

Charlie brings up a good point. No one knows about our label.

And if our launch party is gonna pop,

then we need to better promote it.

Which is hard when our money's low.

Correction: Really low.

What? Don't hate me, hate last week's transcripts.

Knock, knock. Hey, hey, hey.

Look at you. Young, gifted and black. Mm-mm-mm.

I don't mean to interrupt. I just thought maybe you could

use some snacks while you plan your musical takeover.

So who's in the mood for some grill cheeses?

Nah. No, thanks.

If you're offering, I'll take one.

-Me, too. -All right, cool.

Well, I don't wanna be left out. I'll take one, too.

Oh. All right.

-Oh, uh, lightly grilled. -Got it.

Ooh, and with the crusts cut off.

Hmm.

Oh and can you cut it, you know, diagonally?

Baby, you are so specific.

I'm a CEO now, Dad. I have to be specific.

Get back to work.

Okay, so we need to make sure that our label capitalizes

on the fact that we got the Pi'erre Bourne

on our first single.

So far the only promotion we've done is by word of mouth.

Grandma's mouth to be specific.

She told everyone at church about us.

Yeah, I know. Thanks to Grandma,

the church organist keeps hitting me up,

asking to be on our next song.

Myrtle can make those pipes sing.

The future of this label depends on getting the

word out to more people.

[phone rings]

Hello.

Sister Myrtle, for the last time,

my tracks don't need an organist. Thank you. Amen.

Dylan. There's a Myrtle in the living room.

And she is not happy.

[growls in frustration]

Make sure to tell Myrtle that Charlie says hi.

Hey, Dylan. I got your text to meet at your locker.

I also got your text, but I decided to ignore it,

and wonder how you got my new phone number.

I have my ways.

I didn't get a text.

Bro, you're standing right next to me.

Still would've been nice.

Just tell me what's so urgent.

I figured out how our label could get

a ton of free publicity.

Look, those kids are watching Blazin' Hot Takes.

Isn't it that internet show where people go head-to-head

with the host eating spicy chicken nuggets

that get hotter and hotter?

Yeah. And while they do, they get to talk about

whatever they want, like a brand new label they're starting.

No one ever gets to talk because their mouths are on fire.

That's what I told him.

Well, I love me some Blazin' Hot Takes.

My dad got me into it. He knows the producers.

Well, I think my idea is pretty genius.

Wrong. Eating hot nuggets on that show makes the guests

look like fools.

Yeah, because there's such a thing as too hot.

And what makes you such an expert?

For one, I'm the only spicy food eater in our house.

And two, I'm growing my own peppers in the backyard.

I am creating one that'll be the hottest in the world.

I call it the Swelter Pepper.

Hm. I had no idea my cuz-o was a pepper aficionado. Respect.

Look, Dylan, even if you wanted to get on that show,

Blazin' Hot Takes is so popular that there's probably a list

a mile long to get on it.

Well, I could ask my dad to talk to the producers

and get you on if you want.

-Thanks, Bethany. -Don't mention it.

Yeah. Thanks, boo.

Don't mention that either.

Yo, everybody! Your boy, Young Dylan

is gonna be on Blazin' Hot Takes!

Dylan, no.

Dylan, yes. I have a plan that will keep my mouth from turning

into a forest fire and get the publicity that we need.

It's foolproof.

Yeah. You're a fool and you keep proving it.

[music]

[TV] Okay, Kyle, you're our next contestant on

I Can Do That, I Am Not A Scaredy Cat.

All right, for $15,000, put this tiny birthday hat

on the head of that king cobra.

That cobra does not look happy.

[TV] I can't do that! I'm a scaredy cat!

Ah, big ole baby.

Please. You would've chickened out, too.

Pfft. No, I wouldn't.

Son, you don't have an adventurous bone in your body.

Myles has soft boneyitis.

He gets it from his daddy's side of the family.

Oh. Ooh-ooh. Wow! Mama got jokes!

I'm adventurous! Right, baby?

Well...

The most adventurous thing you've done recently

is switch deodorants.

And you might wanna consider switching back.

In this defense, it is all natural.

All I know is I'm more adventurous than the woman

who won't use chopsticks because she says it gives her splinters.

That-that's not why I don't use them.

They're not even real wood. That's exactly why.

I-I-I don't use them. That's why I don't--!

[TV] Do you wanna show the haters that you're cool

and adventurous?

-I most certainly do. -Yes, I do.

[TV] Then you should get in touch with me,

Matt of Matt's Mobile Tatts. The tattoo shop that comes to you.

What are you doing?

I am gonna get a tattoo.

And prove to you how adventurous I am.

Yeah, that's funny. That-that-that's crazy

'cause yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. Yeah.

Guys, this is silly. A tattoo is permanent.

Can't you just agree that you're both...

adventurous?

-No. -No.

[music]

Welcome. Welcome, welcome to another

amazing hot episode

of Blazin' Hot Takes! [horn blowing]

Whoo! Where if you can't take the heat, you got to get the

heck off my show! Y'all know how I do it.

You've seen the show. Well, guess what?

Joining me today is local rapper, Young Dylan

who has some very exciting news he would like to share

with my very, very, very large and loyal viewers.

Glad to be here, Norwood.

Oh, well, I'm glad to have you, Young Dylan. So um,

you are familiar with the show? I mean, that is the number one

streaming show for people eight to eighty. All right?

So this is how we're gonna do it.

We're both going to eat five hot chicken nuggests. Whoo!

Don't they look good? Don't they look good?

All right, so now we're gonna eat five chicken nuggets

drenched in hot sauce. And from left to right,

each sauce will get hotter and hotter.

And you can feel free to stop whenever the hot gets too hot!

[laughing]

Got it, Norwood.

Okay, you got it! So let's start.

Whoo!

Whoo! Mm. That was hot.

I hear you're starting a new label.

Oh, actually, it's going to be

Atlanta's hottest new label.

You know, Def Jam, Bad Boy, Rockafel--

Hold on. Slow down, Young Dylan.

See, you can't push your label until you eat your first nugget.

Oh, oh, oh.

Whoo! Yes.

Dylan, what are you doing?

Oh, you know, Norwood, I don't eat chicken.

So I'll just keep talking about my label.

-Def Jam, Bad Boy. -No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Sorry, Young Dylan. If you don't eat a nugget,

you cannot tell my viewers about your label.

I'm so sorry. But! [laughing]

Fortunately for you,

we have some

vegetarian hot chicken nuggets.

Oh, yeah!

-Lucky me. -Yeah, lucky you!

-Now, help yourself. -Okay.

Uh...

Vegetarian.

Good, right?

Mm. It's actually more flavorful than [screams]

[laughing hysterically]

Oh! Look at him! Look at him! Look at him!

Why don't you try some milk? Try the milk, the milk!

It'll help. It'll help you. Do the milk. Do the milk.

Oh yeah, that'll help you. Oh yeah. [laughing]

Whoa! [screaming] Not helping! Hotter now!

It's a lie! It didn't do nothing!

[Norwood laughing]

[Dylan screaming]

Local rapper, Young Dylan!

[laughing]

Well, I guess Young Dylan is a loser!

She's the CEO, whoa!

Oh, he just threw her up under the bus. You see that?

Just threw the CEO.

And then threw her right up under the bus.

Come on over here, young CEO.

Would like to tell everyone about your dope hip-hop label?

Um...

[Dylan panting]

We started a hip-hop label to help unsigned, un-- [crying]

So hot! So hot!

[laughing]

All right, guys! Thank you!

Hey, that means somebody else is down and out!

But I tell you what, catch us next week on another episode

of Blazin' Hot Takes!

[horn blowing]

[music]

You just had to go on Blazin' Hot Takes.

Thanks to you we looked like clowns.

And everyone at school is talking about us.

I know.

No one will take us or our label seriously now.

I know. Mistakes were made, Rebecca.

Snot bubbles from that spicy sauce were also made.

And viewed by everyone!

Don't forget about what they heard. Hmm.

I didn't know a human body could make those sounds.

[sighs]

But...

Don't worry. I actually can fix this.

We should go back on Blazin' Hot Takes.

That hot sauce must have gone to your brain!

It's the only way we can erase that L and get a win for us

-and our label. -And what if we take a second L?

Hmm. I hadn't considered that when I had Bethany talk to her

father about asking the producer to bring us back on the show

in a few days.

[screams]

What are you doing?

I'm calling the show and stopping this.

Hi. Yes, this is Rebecca Wilson.

Yes, the face slapper.

The most viewed episode of Blazin' Hot Takes. So great.

[sighs] Look, Dylan and I won't be doing another episode.

Uh-huh. Perfect. Thank you.

So what did they say?

They said if we didn't do another episode,

Norwood's gonna put our crying faces on billboards

all around town.

Everyone in Atlanta will laugh at us!

Yeah, even the lunch ladies were clowning them for--

I'll call you back.

[door shuts]

[sighs]

That's it! Charlie's the answer to all of this.

He grows peppers and he loves to cook spicy stuff.

He can give us tips on how to eat hot sauce

and not have our faces melt.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but that's actually a good plan.

Good job, brain.

[music]

Who's the hottest wittle pepper in the whole wide world?

You are. That's right.

You're the hottest wittle pepper. Hottest wittle pepper.

I wasn't talking to my pepper, you were!

Stop being weird.

Yeah, we need to go back on Blazin' Hot Takes

and last long enough to promote our label.

So we need you to teach us how to handle eating spicy foods.

Intriguing.

Just not those.

[laughs] No one is ready for this baby!

If I help you, you must agree to do everything I say

and not question my technique.

-Fine. -Okay.

Just so you know,

I'll push you to the brink of destruction.

But then I'll rebuild your mouth stronger than ever before.

-Fine. -Okay.

[music]

Listen up, maggots!

Do you wanna be heat eaters?

-Yes. -Yes.

Good, because after today, you will be ready

for Blazin' Hot Takes!

-Just one question. -What is it, maggot?

What's with the water?

Before we can start your training,

we need to clean your palate.

I like to work with a clean canvas.

So drink up!

One, drinky, drinky.

[coughing]

Ah! Spicy water!

Charlie, why?

If you can drink spicy water, you can eat spicy food!

Now, let's get training!

[blows whistle]

You're holding a chip covered in Carolina Reaper Pepper dust.

Or aka, the lava chip.

Uh, Charlie, are you sure this is safe?

No.

Eat it!

[crunching]

[coughing]

Want some water?

[music]

You're ready.

[music]

All right. Hasn't this gone on long enough?

If you stop right now, I'll take you out for ice cream.

Under normal circumstances, butter pecan or as I say,

Georgia butter pecan would be delish.

But no one and I mean, no one tells me I'm not adventurous!

And no one is going to tell me that either.

Look, a tattoo isn't a solution to an argument.

Just talk it out. You're not children.

Well, would a child get this?

A scared little child would.

I was thinking about something a little bit more adventurous!

What about this?

-Oh, oh. -You know...

This! How's that?

Yeah, well...

You don't even know what that is. It's unidentifiable.

You're right. I don't.

Both of those are gonna rock.

Now which one of you wants to go first?

No worries. In prison, I learned to tattoo with both hands!

Now...

[tattoo machine buzzing]

You can get your tattoos at the same time.

[buzzing]

Great. Great.

Yeah.

[buzzing]

A new record.

Welcome to another episode of Blazin' Hot Takes!

[horn blows]

Joining me today are some guests you may remember.

Young Dylan and Rebecca Wilson, but just in case you didn't,

here's a little recap.

If you do nothing! [laughing]

[screaming]

I would say you had to be here, but you was here!

Let's welcome back Young Dylan and Rebecca Wilson

for some more fun. [clapping]

All right. I like the confidence.

All right, so you guys remember the rules.

You pitch your label, you gotta eat a nugget.

Here we go.

Whoo, that looks good.

Why don't I just start it like this?

Whoo!

You wanna tell us about your label?

All right, look at y'all. So who would like to start?

We started our label because so many artists go ignored

by big labels.

Ooh, look at that little CEO just slide it in there,

didn't she? Okay.

All right. How about uh...

Tell me a little more.

-Mm. -Mm-hmm.

Are you okay?

Did it just get hot in here?

We want to give them a chance to make the music

that they want to make.

We don't want our artists to feel pressure, but [coughs]

Second nugget... Too hot!

All right, well, there you go! One down and then there was two!

[laughing] You don't wanna try the milk?

Where were we?

You were talking about your artists.

Oh yeah. Okay, you got this. [sighs]

We don't want the artists to feel the pressure

that the big labels--

Excuse me.

[screaming loudly]

[screaming continues]

That's what we've been waiting for! [laughing]

[music]

[music]

What happened?

[Myles] Yup. I'm doin' it.

You two passed out the moment the needle touched your arm.

So where's my tattoo?

Bro, I have a strict never tattoo anyone unconscious rule.

So maybe we're not the most adventurous people, but...

I'm okay with that.

Me, too. Yeah.

Mom, look. Look, look, look. We got little black dots.

So technically, we did get a tattoo.

Well, would you look at that.

Who's not adventurous?

Oh, excuse me.

So do we get a discount for dots?

No. Besides, I did a full tattoo.

-On who? -On me.

-Yeah, right. -Yeah, right.

Excuse you. I might be a mom, but I do have a wild side, too.

She didn't squirm or wince once.

She's one tough cookie.

So what'd you get?

[laughing]

Baby, what'd you-- What'd you get?

[music]

All right. All right. We'll see you next week for a new episode

-of-- -Not so fast.

And who are you, kid?

I'm his cousin, her brother, and your worst nightmare.

-Let's dance. -[Norwood laughs]

Okay. Oh, my worst nightmare.

That's cute. What is that?

It's a hot pepper that I created and it's called,

the Swelter Pepper.

Ooh, the Swelter Pepper. I'm afraid.

It burns, but it's so good. Your turn.

[sighs]

You're not scared of a little boy

and his homegrown pepper, are you?

No, I'm not, little boy.

Then take a bite, if you're not scared.

See? Nothing.

Three.

Two.

One.

Zero. [screams]

I think my head is melting. I don't like you, kid!

Oh, mama! Mama!

So the bottom line is, we want artists who are tired of feeling

like they're not good enough.

Artists who have been grinding for years,

but just need a chance.

If this is you, give our label a shot.

We promise we're on your side and we won't quit

till the world hears your music.
