The Skeptical Help Bar - Paqui One Chip Challenge edition
The first part of this episode is "Open Mic" night, taking on general questions about ghosts, UFOs, and cryptids. In the second part, JD Sword and Kenny take part in the Paqui One Chip Challenge to raise money for the Cancer Research Institute. We both ate the chip and suffered intense burning and not-so-nice feelings...but we raised over $600 for our charity.
