Watch: Cubs' Anthony Rizzo Partakes In A Hot Wings Challenge

(CBS) As evidenced by leading the Cubs' postgame disco dance parties after wins, first baseman Anthony Rizzo is always good for some fun.

In the latest example of his lighter side, Rizzo recently joined Complex's Sean Evans to talk baseball and life while competing in a hot wings challenge. There were 10 wings on the menu, with the hottest -- smothered in the the Mad Dog 357 hot sauce -- checking in at 357,000 on the Scoville scale. It's said to be 71 times hotter than a jalapeno.

Check out the video above to see how Rizzo fared in the hot wings challenge. Shortly after devouring the seventh wing, he admitted, "I can't even hear what you're saying -- my mouth is on fire."

Rizzo also talks about the rivalry with the Cardinals, his Taco Bell/McDonald's preference, clubhouse pranks and more.
