McDermotts vs Carolina Reaper aka HP22B

Well we have been waiting months for this and it finally came..The HP22B or Carolina Reaper as it is now offically called is a heck of a pepper. Ed Currie, the originator of this pepper, was kind enough to let us sample a few pods. Wow is all I can say. If the chatter is correct, this will be the new record as worlds hottest. Crazy intense heat, but SUPERB flavor. The pepper "buzz" was like nothing we have done. Highly recommend this one but also caution you, it's named reaper for a reason!

[@davidmaldonado6988]

You guys handle it a lot better than any other reviewer I've seen. Great Job

[@weeverob]

the family that suffers together stays together

[@timhunter2775]

I agree. It's got the best favor of any pepper. Just had one a few days ago. Remember.. that you don't need gloves to handle these peppers. They don't burn your hands.

[@poppafish428]

You folks are awesome.There's nothing better than family fun.Your little guy is one tough son of a gun.Thanks for all you do and God bless

[@EthanBoyle]

"Should be Carolina Creeper", ha ha ha!!! Best line in the video.

[@RABthefirst]

I really enjoy your shows. It's the family aspect that does it. And your wife is a trooper as well as the kids. Thanks guys

[@mogemulation]

Thumbs up for you and your family! My parents introduced me to hot peppers when I was about the little guy's age, and I'm so glad that they did. You're raising your kids right!

[@craigrichardson2410]

love how u guys do this as a family..great job everyone

[@saxon690]

Hell yea little man was a trooper..but did anyone else notice the daughter in the mirrior behind them. classic video bomb!!

[@lyradguitar]

Great job guys...nice family you have there! I'm currently growing the Reapers they're about 5 inches high now, and have some of the Jay's Ghost Scorpion seeds germinating right now from Refiningfirechillis. Going to be an extremely hot 2013 lol...keep the videos coming...cheers!

[@billybass4189]

Nice one guys lol I've got seeds for these babies this yr so hopefully I'll be sampling them later this summer. Liked and subbed.

[@Skyrilla]

That's fantastic, a family trying out peppers! Subbed!

[@victorquiles9355]

I’ve eaten “THE CAROLINA. REAPER”and your a brave soul,I just started growing jalapeños and habaneros been watching your videos they tend to have a tense bite but don’t have the distance,I’m crossing the plant that I have now the jalapeño has the distance but the habanero have the bite good luck the best to your crops

[@SpLiC3Y]

Your lad has bigger balls than i will ever have, fair play to him for trying that.

[@lightman006]

The family that burns together stays together. -_-

[@jamesbrown3965]

LIL man is a trooper well done !!!

[@mmcdermott2]

I think this pepper would be good for anything. We have also eaten it on food and the taste and the enhancement it gives the food your eating is amazing. HIGHLY recommend for powder.

[@tmudder]

Damn Mike, you're freakin me out! I have been working hard trying to get a hold of one of these to review it and I am not so sure now, lmao. A guy I met on YT lives right by Ed and he's supposed to meet him and hopefully get or buy a few pods. We shall see! They definitely sound really unique.

[@nagacanario]

Mike , you got me scared to try that one! how's your stomach? The kid flew out of the chair when the burn hit! i noticed that one is elongated a little bit. They look cool! Awsome review as always!

[@mmcdermott2]

Yes he is. WAY tougher than I would have been at that age. You will really like this pepper. best taste of anything I have had. Thanks for watching!

[@inetpcpete]

That young man is a Ranger!! Good stuff, my seeds are in the mail, can't wait!

[@actuallowroller]

You all did really well!

[@ceaserelizondo]

That little guy took it like a soldier very nice

[@mmcdermott2]

Thanks for watching. Those reapers sounds great, biggest I have heard of thus far (other than Ed himself). We got a lot of the Jays peach and red peppers this year but never got around to eating them (just deseeded). Looking forward to growing them next season ourselves. Good luck on your grow and thanks again for watching!

[@bujingodai]

My new favourite family. Greetings from Canada

[@standbyandfire]

Good job on the review Mike

[@mmcdermott2]

Well hopefully you get a few. Would love to see you review these. I think you will love them. Would like to see you make a sauce with these!

[@xcxdxd82]

I just wanted to see Mrs McDermott

[@danny95127]

I can feel your pain.... Good video!

[@MrForsakenExile]

OMG. How old is your son? And he's eating the pepper?! That kid is awesome!! LOL I cant get my kids to even try peppers. LOL

[@mmcdermott2]

Yes he is. He wanted to start trying last year and would not take no for an answer. This is his second year and he is 9. I would have died eating these things at 9 :)

[@red01rt]

Props to the little man for eating it! I will not touch it!!

[@mmcdermott2]

Thank you.

[@19rulesdude]

cool family. thanks guys.

[@aquaticpimp]

wow you guys handled that. everyone else i saw threw up and was yelling how bad it hurt.

[@mmcdermott2]

Thank you Dave.

[@mmcdermott2]

I don't have the stats yet, but Ed Currie is and has done major testing on them and from what I understand, it will do very well in the record books! :)

[@JonathanTMishkin]

oh wow you guys have incredible tolerance, especially your child! even though it was just a sliver, a pepper capable of reaching 2.2 million SHU is still dangerously and excruciatingly hot....bravo

[@mmcdermott2]

yea that baby was bad. Other than that triplet moruga, that baby burned pretty severe. Thanks for watching

[@emckinney9134]

Well done...

[@mmcdermott2]

Thank you very much.

[@TragedysHalo]

The placenta in that first pod was crazy! I'll bet my annual salary that pepper was legit hotttttt!!!!!!!

[@mmcdermott2]

Hes a trooper! Thanks for watching

[@zenthious666]

Well, he took that pepper better than any video on the internet out there it seems lol...

[@29render]

Lol! Thanks for the laugh

[@nothingbutlovestaysafe6018]

I thought the seeds is what makes it hotter. Dose anyone knows if it dose or not?

[@mmcdermott2]

I would say based on the data I know Ed has and the heat that the pepper gives it is REALLY likely to get the new record and quite honestly I think it will keep it for a while.

[@krzysztofnowak5964]

the lady was great ! thumb up !

[@bendavis974]

That's a cool family!

[@mriippa]

thumbs up for the litle man

[@mmcdermott2]

thank you and thanks for watching

[@Duck1329]

At the beginning of this video I was like omg that kid is in trouble omg

[@mmcdermott2]

thank you

[@chewyandjasper]

new sub from me nice work.....all your family did very well :)

[@OakdaleRamey3]

your wife trying to take over the videos

[@SamBmBrown]

Great video, I subbed

[@raygrowtx]

hot one

[@mmcdermott2]

I would LOVE to see a sauce from this pepper. I had a crushed up pod on chicken alfredo last night. was super good

[@asaiyannamedtomoa2458]

Triple moruga? What does that mean

[@tmudder]

Judging from yours and Jen's reaction about the flavor it had, the wheels were already spinning about a possible sauce based solely on that baby.

[@williamweaver7251]

Damn. This dude is a beast.

[@TomaszDK]

But then most of the other reviewers ate them fully, with seeds, which are the strongest part of the pepper, and all. They ate a sliver of the skin, and the dad, ate one without the seeds.

[@JovanStojanovicCoja]

Why Kid?What is punch line?

[@flyinthebug35]

Well done forsure...BUT....its the seeds that is where the REAL heat is...if you took out all the seeds, thats why you all handled it so well. Still, props to you all... especially your son.

[@supersticky87]

Did you get capsaicin cramps from this?

[@mmcdermott2]

Those are all great peppers you menioned. We will be growing a jungle of the reaper and also have about 400 each of the Jays red/peach we will be growing. If you want to join our group, google "chiligrower". I cant put the link in here because youtube doesnt allow. We also have a facebook group called the same thing. Good luck with your grow!

[@lucasskywalker]

Ultra brave!

[@gotrox1]

The white membranes inside the pepper contain the most capsaicin.

[@chickandsalsa]

Love the REAPER!

[@stevemcgranahan]

First Family of hot great job!!

[@richardpaquin8905]

try the chocolate butla pepper they say its hotter than california reeper pepper

[@mmcdermott2]

Well come on over! 60,000 plants next year we need all the help we can get :)

[@TMORROW78]

Much respect for the little guy and both of you too! Mr. McDermott, you're a lucky man. Your wife is hot even without the pepper!

[@stevewildeagle965]

Extreme Yep that's a Milf.

[@SnwB04rder]

[@unhombrelobo]

I want to be part of this family!!!

[@ceelo6088]

I'd busy wifey ass wild crazy lmao😂😂😂😂😂

[@joshbunch2491]

The husband looks like my Mom's friend Phil.

[@jimmyvendetta5625]

Capsaicin is present in large quantities in the placental tissue (which holds the seeds), the internal membranes and, to a lesser extent, the other fleshy parts of the fruits of plants in the genus Capsicum. The seeds themselves do not produce any capsaicin, although the highest concentration of capsaicin can be found in the white pith of the inner wall, where the seeds are attached. So in short the seeds are covered in it , but not eating them wont make it seem less hot.

[@mmcdermott2]

You'll eat it! and once you do, you will be hooked for life and want more and more! Peppers are like a drug lol. Very addicting. (but legal!)

[@timothybyrnes5168]

LOL Carolina creeper!

[@mmcdermott2]

Yes a bit :) those cramps suck

[@chuckguerin8141]

I will be blunt. Be proud to have a beautiful wife. I only watched because of her. I tried not to lust, was hard though. Brave but not bright.

[@cshawn07]
