The Life of a YouTuber

Foot Injury

Matt Sturniolo POV

"What is up, guys! We're back for another video," Chris announced to the GoPro set up in front of us. "And today, we decided to have a small triplet challenge."

"Well, it'll be a series of challenges," Nick corrected him.

"Yeah," Chris nodded.

"What are those challenges, you may ask," I spoke. "We'll be doing cup stacking, the ghost pepper challenge, and, finishing off, we'll have a small wrestling match."

"Yeah, so prepare yourselves," Nick said.

Chris went to grab a bunch of red solo cups and handed six of them to Nick and I, keeping the last few for himself.

"We're gonna see who can stack and unstack them the fastest," Chris told the viewers.

I grabbed my phone and pulled up the stopwatch.

"Okay, who's going first?" I asked.

"I'll go," Chris nearly yelled.

"Ready... set... go!" I started the stopwatch.

Chris accurately placed the cups into a small tower before unstacking them with ease. Once he finished, I stopped the stopwatch to check the time.

"12.3 seconds," I announced.

"Yeeeahh, let's gooo," Chris pumped a fist in the air. "Top that!"

"I'll go next," Nick stated.

"Ready... set... go!" I called out to which Nick immediately began stacking the cups.

Chris and I laughed the entire time, because every time Nick sets a few cups up, his hands knock them over. So now, he's cursing himself for his poor performance.

"30.7 seconds," I laughed.

"Crap!" Nick yelled pounding his hands once on the table.

"Matt, it's your turn," Chris told me.

I handed him my phone and hovered my hands over the cups.

"Okay, ready... set... go!" Nick began the stopwatch.

Quickly, I started to place the cups on top of each other, but my trembling hands knocked them over at least twice. After I stacked them, I hurriedly I stacked them and put my hands up.

"Time!" Nick shouted. "16.1 seconds!"

"Dang it!" I groaned.

"YEEEEESS!" Chris practically screamed, jumping up and down while pointing at us tauntingly.

"At least I got second this time," I said.

"Yeah, but you still lost," Nick looked at me.

"Okay, next challenge!" Chris smiled at the camera.

For the next one, Nick set out three peppers on individual plates for each of us. We sat in a row at the table, and I stared at the pepper in disgust.

"This is gonna be so hard!" Nick groaned. "I absolutely hate spicy things."

"It depends for me," I shrugged.

"Yeah, same," Chris agreed.

"Okay, should we all go at the same time or..." Nick glanced at us.

"Yeah," I nodded.

"Three, two, one," Chris counted, and we all took a bite of the pepper.

Nick barely nibbled the top of it while Chris and I took a big bite. The spice immediately set in after it touched my tongue. I squeezed my eyes shut and shook my head. It feels like my tongue is melting. Chris and I exchanged a look and ran to get milk for the fridge. At this point, the three of us are fighting over who gets the carton. It ended with Chris drinking it straight, then Nick, then me. We all sighed with relief once the spice finally began to go away.
