pepper

in the

world

, the Carolina Reaper. Let's do that. ♪ (musical theme) ♪ - Good Morning Míticos. - It's not a Mythical Good Day, it's a Mythical Bad Day for us. I am not happy. Not a bit. Well, last year, about a year ago, we did a video where we were eating... Where we could find the

hottest

pepper

we could find, the ghost pepper. - (fire sound) - ♪ (dramatic music) ♪ How does it feel? Tell us what you think! (harsh voice) I can't talk! (normal voice) It's very hot. - What's the worst that can happen? - It burns so much! - (groans) - (fire sound) Now, as you can see, we didn't take it very well, but... - That was a lot of fun, - but we did it...

I was thinking, "I can't wait to do that." new with an even hotter pepper. Okay, let's go with the certified hottest pepper in the

world

, the Carolina Reaper - (fire sound) - (very deep voice) The Carolina Reaper - (fire sound) And I wasn't planning on it. do this. Let me tell you that many of you told us: "Hey guys, that Ghost Pepper is not the hottest pepper in the world, the Carolina Reaper is the hottest pepper in the world." We wanted to eat this pepper, but then, - Michael Graves - He sent us a letter from Murphy, North Carolina, he had to mail us something - Hi Rhett and Link, I've been watching your show for a couple of years recently.

Last eight months, I introduced your program to my wife and we have now made it part of our daily routine. - Well, thanks for that. - Our youngest son is three months old - and we call him Lincoln in honor of Link. - Thanks for that. - (laughs) - I guess I had to choose one of us. We live... Yes, good choice. We live in Murphy, North Carolina. I've seen you all do the hot pepper

challenge

and the ghost pepper

challenge

. The Ghost Pepper used to be the spiciest in the world. A guy in South Carolina crossed some peppers and now his is recognized as my Guinness as the hottest.

Her name is Carolina Reaper. - I have attached some for all of you. - Because? - (Link and the team laugh) - Maybe you could do an episode eating them. I hope you find these... Uh... okay, and don't forget, you have at least one child named after you. (inaudible) - Did he say that? - Yes, he said that. Michael Graves, North Carolina. So, in exchange for naming your child after me and mailing this to us... - If we do this, you should name your next child after me. - Oh. Well. Now, I wear a glove when I handle this because... inevitably I'm going to clean... - Yes.

Yes. - (stutters intentionally) Inevitability. - Cleaning every orifice that - will drip with pain and there will be - (crew laughs) blood coming out of my ears. I do not know what is going to happen. Let's put this into perspective, shall we? This is, as Link said, about twice as hot. - (Rhett) I mean, I'm really anxious right now. - (Link) Two million scoville units! I feel like I'm going to throw up now and I haven't even put it in my mouth yet. This looks like the heart of Satan himself. - (team laughs) - Ugh, and, okay, - here's how we're going to do it differently... - It smells a little like death. - I'm serious. -The last time we ate the Ghost Pepper, we ate it and then immediately went to the relief mechanisms.

Dairy, right? Well, the people who help us make this show (crew laughs) who are not going to eat these peppers have decided that we must wait ten minutes without relief. - Okay, so what are we going to do... - Oh, God. - (crew laughs) What we were planning to do, which I'm questioning, is-- Put this in our mouth, bite it on the stem, put it all in our mouth, chew, chew, chew, swallow, swallow. , swallow completely. When it goes in your mouth, the ten minutes start, and we're not going to do it, first of all, drinking water makes it worse, - so there's nothing to it at all. - But you can use water to help lower it if you have trouble getting it down.

You can do that. That's part of the pepper rules. If you need water to help you go down, you can do that instead of throwing it, up or something. - One of these is bigger than the other. One of us is bigger than the other. - (team laughs) - (Link laughs) I don't know what's inside these besides a torture chamber. Oh God, I'm always shaking. I'm a little nervous, but today I'm... This could be it. I'm so... I hate everything right now. I hate everything that can (inaudible) I have the stopwatch here. Oh my God. (Rhett) I'm already having a gag reflex.

It's just strange because it didn't happen last time. I just... I don't gag, I'm just scared. - Well. How... What... How... - We need some kind of countdown. - Let's be like, "Be your mythical best self." - Yes, that makes me feel... - (screaming) Yes, Link! Yeah! - (screaming louder) Yes! - Hit me on the shoulder! Yeah! - (Alex) We all have to say it, okay? - Yeah! Yeah! - (crew) Yes! Hit yourself in the chest. Hit yourself in the face. - It hurt a little. - (crew) Be your best mythical version! - (symbol drop) - Time starts. - (chewing sounds) - Oh my gosh. - (crew laughing) - (growling) Are you still chewing?

I just swallowed. (burps) Ugh. (hiccup) It's started. The... (hiccup) The hiccup has... (hiccup) started. - (both hiccup) - (crew laughs) Ew. (hiccup) Take your glo-- (hiccup) Take off your gloves, stupid. (hiccup) Oh man, I've been here before, but never like this. - (both hiccups) - (crew laughing) - (jokes) - (hiccups) - (coughs) - (Jen) Oh-- - I got hiccups seeing-- (hiccups) - Use some water, keep it low. - Oh my God, guys. - (high-pitched voices due to acceleration) - I hate the world. - (crew laughs) - I hate that we exist. - (crew laughing) I can't do it!

Every exhale is like... - A time travel to a stupid, very stupid place. - (crew laughs) - (high-pitched voices due to acceleration) Oh, God. Oh my god, guys. We're told it peaks in... Six minutes. - (crew laughing) - (Rhett hiccups) - (high-pitched voices due to acceleration) - Oh my god, guys. - (spits) - (dry, violent plowing) - Nothing came up. - (the crew laughs) - I wish it were something like that. - We need the ice cream. No! We can do this! Stand. - (metal explosion) - Just think about something else. (screams) (hitting the wall) Woah.

No. No. No. Don't do that! - (crew laughs) - (spits) - (crew laughs) - (high-pitched voices due to increased speed) - Take my hand. - I'm not going to hold your hand. - No do not do that. - (crew laughs) - Don't leave me alone in this, man. - We have to face this alone! - (crew laughs out loud) - Be here to help me. Oh. Stomachache. Arrest. Dude, I don't even... No... Oh my God. Oh Lord. - (high-pitched voices due to acceleration) - (hitting the wall) Hey, put your hat on. Represent, man. (Rhett) Represent. You are Link! - (blow nose loudly) - (Rhett) (spits) Hey, listen. - I'm going to psych you up. - I'm making sure no blood comes out. - Hey man.

I'm going to drive you crazy. You drive Me crazy. (screaming) Link! Your name is Link! You have a fucking hat that says your fucking name! (calm voice) You have a hat with your name on it. You can do whatever you want. It corresponds, man. - You can be anyone. - No. Yes. - (crew and Rhett laugh) - (spits) You have to reciprocate better than that. I'm dying. - You can be anyone. - Say it like I'm a fighter. As if you were a fighter. As if you were a professional wrestler. - You can be anyone. - (screams) Like a professional wrestler! - (the team laughs) - (normal voice) We are like a team. - You tag me! - (hands come together) - Now I tagged you. - I just tagged you. (screaming) And I told you you're amazing!

Look at your hat! (screaming) You can be anyone! (normal voice) Tell me I can do anything. - You can do everything! - What I can do? You can travel! You can fly! - Where? - To a volcano! And do what in the volcano? Turn it upside down into what? - You can swallow a volcano! - (screaming) In my mouth! - I can drink magma - (crew laughs) that turns into lava and I can swallow it! - (normal voice) Oh, now it's down here. - Because I'm not a fool! - (crew laughing) - I'm not a fool! - I'm not a damn fool! - Don't break things, man! - (high-pitched voices due to acceleration) - I feel like my right nipple is going to - let out fire. - (crew laughs) - Left nipple, good; right nipple, fire. - Listen, let's act like what we just did was something...

You know what? We... This is... We have proven our manhood. - We were children. - Did you know? Eight fifty and us... We are in a tribe. We are a tribe. - A tribe where-- - (the team laughs) No, we're not in the tribe yet, but we were kids and they said, listen, we're going to give you these hats. We will give you these peppers, you will eat them, you will put on these hats and after that you will be men. - Yes. - (screaming) We are men! - (screaming) Look at these hats! - Yeah! I don't need ice cream. - We are men! - (high-pitched voices due to acceleration) Guys, we have ten seconds and we'll eat ice cream. - Bring the ice cream, man. - Okay, Internet. - Because I need the ice cream. - There you go! - I'm still a child. - Ten minutes with just the use of enough water to keep it under. - (ding sound) - I'll take...
