I stumbled across this video this week while hiding in the bathroom at work... Or my "other" job as I like to call it. Movies&Food comes first of course, but since blogging is frowned upon in the office I had to escape to the closest 6 x 8 stall and find some privacy so I could do some reconnaissance. Any who, I wasn't really expecting much from this video, and almost aborted it about a minute in. After all, it's a 12 minute video about two guys spewing useless knowledge about peppers. The first 8 or so minutes is filled with boring pepper talk and the hot shot "pepper expert" -- yes his real name is Chili Klaus -- puffing his chest out being a cocky little prick. The only thing worse than a pepper snob are those lovely Crossfit dinks who post about their WOD's and PR's.
Things really start to heat up around the 8:00 minute mark when our boy Chili gets peppy and takes a nibble of the Carolina Ghost Pepper or as my friend Bill Belichick calls it, "humble pie." Instant regret. It's all fun and games till someone nearly dies. One second you're all smiles and giving pepper eating advice, next thing you know you're convulsing and on the verge of a heart attack. I immediately thought of the ".......how's your burger???" scene from Dumb and Dumber. "You okay man?! It was just a goof!" How abruptly and awkwardly the interview ends is laugh out loud funny. I've never seen somebody get humbled so quickly in my life.
