Three idiots about to eat the world's hottest pepper (Patreon)

Greetings from Nashville! I spent all summer growing Carolina Reaper peppers in my garden, and decided to bring the first one I picked to Nashville to share with two guys who will eat anything, Mike and Kevin Murphy.

We did not get video of the actual moment when the heat hit but all three of us immediately realized it was the hottest thing we've ever eaten. Which, you know, duh: it's the world's hottest pepper. You've got to expect that. Mike and Kevin swallowed their grain-of-rice sized chunk of pepper, I spit mine out after chewign it, but the effect was still pronounced and long lasting. If you ate Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, it would be similar levels of painful and unpleasant.

I have several more of these on the vine back home, as well as 80% of one remaining here, so if you see me in Nashville, I may have it in my pocket and am willing to share. Lastly, Lauren took a short video of me probably ten minutes after eating. Content warning: drool https://youtu.be/8FDazoHnFho
