Some like it hot. Some like it burning. Smokin' Ed Currie is one of the latter sort, and hot sauce lovers around the world are eternally grateful.
Ed is our special guest for Episode 5 of Hardest Bestest Fastest Strongest, and the esteemed grower of Pepper X—the world's hottest chilli pepper. Being the generous South Carolinian he is, Ed sent 3 of his hottest Pepper X sauces for Sam and Josh to try live on air. What could go wrong! (Spoiler alert: one of us is a bona fide "chilli head", the other is not).
Before that rather abrupt and clammy ending, Ed reveals all about the science, high security and scoville units behind Pepper X, his REAL reaction to eating a whole Pepper X, and one or two pranks and mishaps you wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of.
As per usual, Josh and Sam also discuss what records they've been reading about, from epic crowdsurfing to old-fashioned Hollywood taboos.
If you love hot sauce, this one's for you!
