Hi Sean, I don't believe you've ever had a political candidate on, but would you consider having "the Internet's candidate" Andrew Yang on? Between some of his funnier Tweets, some of the crazier #YangGang memes, and his 100+ policies @ https://yang2020.com, you'd have a lot to work w/ on various deep dives.

I was thinking more along the lines of... let Sean guide the interview as he always does, have fun, Andrew will get in a few policy items bit it won't be one big stump speech (especially as the heat kicks up w/ the sauces), and then it would be an opportunity for a bunch of people to see the candidate as a person. Andrew'll still get his elevator pitch at the end if he makes it through the gauntlet.

Haha I also have no idea when Sean asks how Andrew likes spicy food if he'll say "I grew up eating traditional Taiwanese and Chinese food so this ain't shit" or "no I hate spicy food but I love my country so let's do this!"

Even if he does he loves his country and would likely suffer for our amusement.

TL;DR Think having a couple of candidates doing their own long-form interviews in typical Hot Ones fashion would be my preference so it's more "real." That being said, Truth or Dab w/ multiple candidates would be amazing if you brought back fan favorites.

Well Andrew's in his early 40s, while Mayor Pete and Tulsi are in their late 30s, so no problem with any of them. Kamala is in her early 50s so she'd likely be fine too. Liz Warren and Bernie are young at heart haha.
