Brown performed reasonably well throughout the show, but when they got to the eighth of 10 hot sauces — infamously known as “Da Bomb,” Evans described it as “like a prank,” which worried Brown.
The actress took her first bite and almost immediately reached for the chocolate milkshake next to her and started coughing before giving Evans the middle finger.
“It’s not even normal,” Brown said, adding, “That made me stop breathing,” as she said, “She was so fine” before Da Bomb.

She added: “Why are you doing this to me? I’m only 18, I’m just short,” adding that it “didn’t get any better” as she continued to sip her milkshake.

During the recurring Hot Ones segment called Explain That Gram, Evans asked for a photo of her and F1 superstar Lewis Hamilton at the Circuit of America.
“I had to do a hot lap with him and we got to drive around the circuit and it was amazing, it was a really cool experience, very scary, almost as scary as that,” Brown explained.
She explained that the picture was taken “just as we were about to get in the car and you can see I’m a little nervous.”

“So what we do is, we get a piece of lettuce and we get sliced ham, peppers and sriracha and we cover the whole type of sandwich with that,” Brown explained, with the lettuce serving as the sandwich’s “bread.”
She also explained that craft services “usually do six of them and that’s what keeps me going on set. It’s the best thing ever.’

Since the show is set in the 1980s, Brown and the rest of the young cast were given “homework” to watch a slew of ’80s movies, with Brown highlighting one that meant the most to her: ET
“ET reminds me a lot of Eleven because ET is like a thing that came down from another planet and it feels like Eleven came down from this planet and doesn’t know anyone,” she said.
The actress even threw some shade at Marvel actor Tom Holland after halftime, saying she still “feels the heat,” “but it doesn’t make me cry like Tom Holland.”
