This past Saturday was the second ever live recording of the local variety podcast, MANville. Last time the show was recorded in front of an audience, MANville host Kevin Marshall, got his first ever tattoo from Albany Modern Body Art. How do you top getting tattooed on the air? Simple. You invite your fans to go to the Cask & Rasher in Coxsackie, NY and partake in the Jimmy Pig Feet Challenge.

What exactly is the Jimmy Pig Feet Challenge?

• Eat (1) Hiroshima chicken wing.
• Jump rope for (3) minutes straight.
• Do 100 push-ups.
• Finish strong with an “Irish Car Bomb” shot.
• Oh, and do all of the above in (15) minutes or less.

What is a Hiroshima chicken wing?

In short – it’s a ridiculously hot chicken wing, a really bad idea, and conquered only by the bravest souls that walk this Earth. To give you an understanding of just how hot this chicken wing is we have to consult the Scolville Scale – a measurement system designed to gage the heat of a chili pepper:

• A Jalapeño Pepper is ranked 2.5K – 8K on the Solville Scale
• Cayenne Pepper is ranked 30K – 50K on the Scolville Scale
• A Habanero Pepper is ranked 350K – 580K on the Scolville Scale
• The infamous Ghost Pepper is ranked 855K – 1.3M on the Scolville Scale
• Law enforcement pepper spray is ranked 5M to 5.3M on the Scolville Scale
• The Cask & Rasher’s Hiroshima Chicken Wing is ranked 7.1M on the Scolville Scale

Five guests of the MANville show put their bodies and sanity on the line, but only three survived the agony and were awarded The Certificate of Manliness. Contestants had to sign a disclaimer, and had to wear gloves because just touching this chicken wing burns your skin. So we bet you are wondering, “Why would anyone do this?” We’re not sure we have an answer for you, but we have pictures and a video on the way that is sure to keep you in awe.

Congratulations to “Puck” this year’s Jimmy Pig Feet Champion! (He did so well he even showed off while jumping rope.) He now holds the title of “The Dude” for the next year. When asked if he would come back next year to defend his title, his answer was a definitive “No.”

Thank you to Stitcher Radio for the giveaways.
