Last question was the best, most humble and speaks worlds to your character.
this guys way too into himself. he needs to brush his teeth before anything else. ive met him a few times at my local hot sauce expos in los angeles but hes just way into himself.
Great channel I’m now addicted to hot peppers
Interesting to hear that pepper sauce preserves as it is. I just harvested my first peppers and find out there will be lot more of them than I can eat before they get bad. I just couldn't find any sauce with proper ingredients. I want pepper flavor, not garlic, vinegar or mustard.
I ended up mushing them with tomatoes and put on a freezer packed into ice cube bags. I stored bags into glass container to avoid taste contamination. Then I can get fresh pepper taste around the year
He said what to do about a hot mouth but didnt say anything about the other end. I eat peppers sometimes and my mouth doesn't feel any heat but my other end does later that night lol. What do we do about that?
Coolest guy i've ever seen
how hot is the carolina repper
Dudes teeth haven't been brushes in years
How do us acid reflux suffers minimize heat!?
Hold crushed ice and milk in your mouth. Trust me it works. Been doing this over a decade. Dont swallow, spit and hold some more. Your welcome
stop having this guy on, hes giving bad medical and scientific advcie.
Umm honestly I have no idea who breed the Carolina reaper and pepper X but if this dude is going to take credit for both I’m skeptical.
Dawn dish soap breaks up oils & works on peppers.
The most important question to me would have been "Is it bad for your stomach?"
Haha I’ve always pull the I’m Mexican I can handle the heat..and handful of times I would regret saying that 😂
This guy is in bed with Monsanto
If my pepper questions are burning hot. . . Whom do I turn to?
This guy's is wrong is so many ways.
I know a lot about peppers but I also know a lot about knives and Mr. Ed Currie's is a kershaw blur designed by Ken Onion… no kidding… 💚🌶🔪
Dude looks like Adam Sandler's brother.
Screw the peppers, pop a toothbrush into your mouth.
Ok kids!!
Don't eat hot sh__ all the time!
Your teeth will turn yellow, you will have the shakes, and u may wear oversized clothes
16.6 million Scoville !!!!!
I never understood the saying "Don't dive into the deep end of the pool". Isn't that what you should be diving into? I really wouldn't want to dive into the shallow end of a pool.
One thing it can not do is whiten your teeth. Sorry children.
He got excited about that overdose question 😂
I wanna eat pepper x
ask ed how many liters of diarrhea he gets on a daily basis
I like how the bottle says 'Danger Fatal if swallowed'. So is it fatal or not?
Chase the heat
This dude needs to brush his teeth or see a dentist, bet his breath stinks
What an apt last name.
I'm getting back on my fire game, just got back to the point where i can eat the hottest at my local joint (about twice as hot as blazin, but actually delicious)
I feel like if someone has asthma and eats an extremely hot pepper, it could trigger an asthma attack or something
moobs
Bro was dying and his wife walked away nah 💀
Actually it is safer to dive in the deep end of the Pool 😅
Lol
This guy sounds like a climate scientist.
Nice guy
