It’s almost moving to watch as Fieri chugs hot sauce straight from the bottle, Cash’s gravel-smooth voice crooning sadly, “I hurt myself today.” Can someone please give Guy Fieri a hug? ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4360104/guy-fieri-johnny-cash-hurt-compilation/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4360104/guy-fieri-johnny-cash-hurt-compilation/"},"headline":"Guy Fieri Eating to Johnny Cash's Cover of \"Hurt\" Is Unexpectedly Emotional","datePublished":"2016-06-07T17:17:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:33:04.402Z","description":"This is why the Internet exists","url":"https://time.com/4360104/guy-fieri-johnny-cash-hurt-compilation/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Music","Viral Videos","food and drink"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Locker","jobTitle":"","url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-locker/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4360104/guy-fieri-johnny-cash-hurt-compilation/","name":"Guy Fieri Eating to Johnny Cash's Cover of \"Hurt\" Is Unexpectedly Emotional"}}]}] ```
