From Fiery Peppers to Presidential Wisdom: It's a Whole Lot of Nothing Day!

International Hot and Spicy Food Day kicked things off with some serious heat—literally. Jerry surprised the morning crew with fresh Carolina Reapers, the hottest peppers on the planet. Let's just say not everyone was thrilled about the gift.
