Welcome back to Altered Judgement! On Episode 18, we are going back to our food roots and bringing a serious heat wave into the studio. We are hanging out with local food reviewers Zach, Chris, and Austin—collectively known as The Wing Bros!

Before we dive into a wing flight from Wings to Go (Willow Grove), we put their palates to the ultimate test with a classic Altered Judgement rite of passage: a shot of Malort. Once the palates are properly shocked, we dive into a 4-flavor wing review, hitting Mild, Golden Garlic, Carolina Gold, and the ominous "Suicide" sauce.

But the Wing Bros didn't just want the heat on the menu—they volunteered for a spoonful of "Da Bomb" Beyond Insanity hot sauce. Cue the sweat, tears, and instant regrets.

Later in the episode, we map out a local wing tour around Perkasie, talk about Zach’s background in welding and MMA, look back at the origins of his homemade hot sauce channel, and challenge him to create a legendary holiday creation: a Smoked Cranberry Hot Sauce by Thanksgiving.
