"I'm really feeling like punching you, but it's OK. I have that control from the press conferences."

This is Serena Williams' reaction after eating Da Bomb on First We Feast's Hot Ones, which is pretty much the only wing that causes her any difficulty.

In the interview above the tennis legend talks about everything from the complexity of competing against her sister to why tennis players grunt — all while casually working her way through increasingly spicy wings.
