  • Today we eat the world's hottest pepper, the Carolina Reaper.

  • Let's do that.

  • ♪ (theme music) ♪

  • - Good Mythical Morning. - It is not a Good Mythical Morning,

  • it is a bad Mythical Morning for us.

  • I am not happy. Not one bit.

  • Okay, last year, about a year ago,

  • we made a video where we ate-- Where we could find the hottest pepper

  • that we could find, the Ghost Pepper.

  • - (fiery sound) - ♪ (dramatic music) ♪

  • What does it feel like? Tell us what if feels like!

  • (rough voice) I can't talk! (normal voice) It is so hot.

  • - What's the worst that could happen? - Burns so bad!

  • - (moans) - (fiery sound)

  • Now, as you can see, we didn't take that too well, but--

  • - That was so much fun, - but we did--

  • I was thinking, "I can't wait to do that again with

  • - an even hotter pepper. - Right.

  • Let's go twice as hot. Let's go with the hottest pepper certified

  • - on Earth, the Carolina Reaper." - (fiery sound)

  • - (very deep voice) The Carolina Reaper. - (fiery sound)

  • And I wasn't planning on doing this. Let me tell you,

  • many of you told us, "Hey guys,

  • that Ghost Pepper's not the hottest pepper in the world, the Carolina Reaper is the

  • hottest pepper in the world." Well, we were ignoring you, okay?

  • We didn't want to eat this pepper, but then,

  • - Michael Graves - Sent us a letter.

  • from Murphy, North Carolina, had to up and send us something

  • - in the mail. - Hello Rhett and Link,

  • I've been watching your show for a couple of years now.

  • Recently, in the past eight months or so, I introduced your show to my wife,

  • and now we do make it a part of our daily routine.

  • - Well thanks for that. - Our youngest son is three months old,

  • - and we named him Lincoln after Link. - Thanks for that.

  • - (laughs) - Had to choose one of us I guess.

  • We live-- Yeah, good choice. We live in Murphy, North Carolina.

  • I've watched y'all do the hot pepper challenge and the Ghost chili challenge.

  • The Ghost Pepper used to be the hottest in the world.

  • A guy in South Carolina has cross-bred some peppers and his is now recognized

  • my Guinness as the hottest now. It's called the Carolina Reaper.

  • - I've enclosed a few for y'all. - Why?

  • - (Link and crew laughs) - Maybe you could make an episode

  • out of eating these. I hope you find these-- Uh-- okay,

  • and don't forget, you do have at least one child named

  • after you. (inaudible)

  • - Did he say that? - Yeah, he said that.

  • Michael Graves, North Carolina. So, in exchange for naming your child

  • - after me, and mailing us these-- - If we do this,

  • - you should name your next kid after me. - Oh. Okay.

  • Now, I'm wearing a glove when I handle this thing because

  • - I'm gonna inevitability, like, wipe-- - Yeah. Yeah.

  • - (stutters intentionally) Inevitability. - Wiping away every orifice that's gonna

  • - leak with pain and there's gonna be - (crew laughs)

  • blood coming out of my ears. I don't know what's going to happen.

  • Let's just put this into perspective, okay?

  • This is, as Link said, approximately twice as hot.

  • - (Rhett) I mean, I am so anxious right now. - (Link) Two million scoville units!

  • Like, I feel like I'm going to vomit now and I haven't even put it in my mouth yet.

  • This thing looks like the heart of satan himself.

  • - (crew laughs) - Ugh, and, okay,

  • - here's how we're gonna do it different-- - It kinda smells like death.

  • - I'm serious. - Last time when we ate the Ghost Pepper,

  • we ate it and then we immediately went to the relief mechanisms.

  • The dairy products, right? Well, the people who help us

  • - make this show, - (crew laughs)

  • who are not going to be eating these peppers, have decided that we should wait

  • - ten minutes without relief. - Okay, so what we're gonna do--

  • - Oh gosh. - (crew laughs)

  • What we were planning on doing, which I'm questioning,

  • is-- Put these in our mouth, bite it at the stem,

  • got the whole thing in your mouth, chew, chew, chew, swallow, swallow,

  • swallow completely. When it goes into the mouth,

  • the ten minutes starts, and we are not going to,

  • first of all, drinking water makes it worse,

  • - so that ain't got nothin'. - But you can use water to help

  • get it down if you're having trouble getting it down.

  • You can do that. That's part of pepper rules.

  • If you need water to help you get it down, you can do that as opposed to throwing it

  • - back up or something. - One of these is bigger than

  • the other one. One of us is bigger than the other one.

  • - (crew laughs) - (Link laughs)

  • I don't know what's inside of these besides a torture chamber.

  • Oh gosh, like, I'm always shaking. I'm a little wired,

  • but, like, today, I am just-- This could be it.

  • I'm so-- I hate everything right now. I hate everything that can (inaudible)

  • I've got the timer here. Oh gosh.

  • (Rhett) I'm already having like a gag reflex.

  • It's just weird because it didn't happen last time.

  • I'm just-- I'm not gagging, I'm just fearing.

  • - Okay. How-- What-- How-- - We need some sort of a countdown.

  • - Let's be like, "Be your mythical best." - Yeah that make me feel--

  • - (yelling) Yeah, Link! Yeah! - (yelling louder) Yeah!

  • - Punch me in the shoulder! Yeah! - (Alex) Everyone we gotta say it, okay?

  • - Yeah! Yeah! - (crew) Yeah!

  • Punch yourself in the chest. Punch your self in the face.

  • - It hurt a little bit. - (crew) Be your mythical best!

  • - (symbol crash) - Start the time.

  • - (chewing sounds) - Oh goodness.

  • - (crew laughing) - (growling)

  • Are you still chewing? I just swallowed.

  • (burps) Ugh. (hiccups)

  • It's started. The-- (hiccups)

  • The hiccups have-- (hiccups) started.

  • - (both hiccup) - (crew laughs)

  • Ew. (hiccups) Take your glo-- (hiccups)

  • Take your gloves off, you stupid. (hiccups)

  • Oh man, I've been here before, but never like this.

  • - (both hiccuping) - (crew laughing)

  • - (gags) - (hiccups)

  • - (coughs) - (Jen) Oh--

  • - I hiccuped the see-- (hiccups) - Use some water, keep it down.

  • - Oh gosh guys. - (high pitched voices due to speeding up)

  • - I hate the world. - (crew laughs)

  • - I hate that we exist. - (crew laughing)

  • I can't do it! Every breath out is like--

  • - Time travel into a stupid, stupid place. - (crew laughs)

  • - (high pitched voices due to speeding up)

  • Oh gosh. Oh gosh guys.

  • We've been told it peaks at-- Six minutes.

  • - (crew laughing) - (Rhett hiccups)

  • - (high pitched voices due to speeding up) - Oh gosh guys.

  • - (spits) - (dry heaves violently)

  • - Nothing came up. - (crew laughs)

  • - I wish something would have. - We need the ice cream.

  • No! We can do this! Stand up.

  • - (metal bang) - Just think about something else.

  • (screams) (punching wall)

  • Woah. No. No. No. Don't do that!

  • - (crew laughs) - (spits)

  • - (crew laughing) - (high pitched voices due to speeding up)

  • - Hold my hand. - I'm not holding your hand.

  • - No, don't do that. - (crew laughs)

  • - Don't leave me alone in this, man. - We have to face this alone!

  • - (crew laughs loudly) - Be here for me.

  • Oh. Stomach pain. Stop.

  • Dude, don't even-- Don't--

  • Oh my gosh. Oh Lord.

  • - coming out. - Hey, man.

  • I'm gonna psych you out. You psych me out.

  • You gotta reciprocate better than that. I'm dying.

  • - You can be anybody. - Say it like I'm a wrestler.

  • Like you're a a wrestler. Like you're a pro wrestler.

  • - You can be anybody. - (yells) Like a pro wrestler!

  • - (crew laughs) - (normal voice) We're like a tag team.

  • - You tag me! - (hands slap together)

  • - Now I tagged you. - I just tagged you.

  • (yelling) And I told you you're awesome! Look at your hat!
