What's up, peeps?
I'm John.
I'm Joey.
Joey and I like to eat spicy food.
That's a fact.
We eat a lot of spicy food here VAT19.
That's another fact.
It is.
This is the show where we show you
something brand new at VAT19.
That's fact number three.
I like where you're going with this.
I think we're going to combine all three of those things.
Are we?
I think we are.
I think that's a fact.
Let's peep this.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
I can't wait to get into this.
I cannot, either.
This is ghost pepper jerky.
Beef jerky that is spicy.
With ghost pepper.
Super spicy.
Not just ghost pepper.
Spontaneous Combustion Ghost Pepper.
So if you've seen our hot sauce challenge
12 pack, which we've made a video for,
did a lot of tasting of those different bottles of hot sauce,
you know that Spontaneous Combustion
is the hottest one of those 12.
So Spontaneous Combustion.
Are we just going to, like, one second we're eating,
and then the next, we're on fire?
Yeah, I think that's what spontaneous combustion means.
So let's hope this isn't literal.
Look at all these ingredients.
OK, there's not a single ingredient on here that's
a weird chemical or something.
Soy sauce, brown sugar, pineapple juice.
Didn't see that one coming.
Honey.
Brown sugar.
Nice.
Tabasco sauce.
There's tabasco sauce in here.
Really?
Vinegar, red pepper, salt.
OK.
Ghost chili pepper.
That's right in the middle.
That's like the middle ingredient,
so it's not super high, where there's a ton of ghost pepper,
but it's also not just a little pinch, either.
Let's get into it.
That's already cut open, isn't it?
I don't know what that's about.
Somebody here already peeped it.
You know, I could not resist.
It smells amazing.
It smells spicy and delicious.
I love beef jerky.
My mouth is watering right now.
I think I found some white pepper.
It might be ghost pepper.
It's spicy.
I'm on fire already, and I just tried a teeny-tiny piece.
All right, here's my piece.
Cheers.
Oh, it's got a little sweetness right up front.
Oh, there's the spice right behind it.
This is just right, that spice.
All right, we love spice a lot.
That's an understatement.
Yeah.
We enjoy it.
We do.
So we're a little biased.
When we say this is not that spicy,
this is probably pretty spicy for most people.
It builds, definitely.
The first bite you're like, yeah, it's definitely spicy.
I'm starting to sweat.
Next bite, it builds.
Phew, I got the back of the throat.
That's the tonsil torching part of it, as they say here.
It's addictive, though, man.
The jerky is made from the highest quality beef available.
I htink that's why you're not getting the sinew and the shoe
leather.
I'm feeling the spice, but I want more.
It is so good.
So good.
Nothing like a big old slab of beef in your mouth.
A lot of spicy food, once you get to the spice,
you can't taste anything else.
It just knocks you out, and your mouth's
on fire, and it you're running for the milk,
and you're putting ice cream on your eyes or whatever,
as one does.
OK.
Oh my God.
Oh, that feels amazing.
It's spicy, but you can still taste a lot of flavor
underneath all of that.
So, what are we going to do for the video for this?
I picture cowboys in my mind when I think of beef jerky.
It's like riding a horse.
Sitting around a campfire.
Grab your saddlebag of beef jerky.
Eating some baked beans and beef jerky.
Ghost pepper is not the most spicy pepper in the world.
That title goes to Carolina Reaper.
That's right.
But it's still really hot.
Carolina Reaper powder on the ghost pepper beef jerky.
Yeah.
No.
Yeah, but no.
You spin a wheel, and it tells you whether or not
you have to catch your beef jerky on fire.
Oh.
I mean, it's a good, like you were saying earlier,
trail snack.
Yeah.
What trail would that be?
The highway to Hell?
Yeah, probably.
Trailblazing.
It's got some good wordplay in it.
It does.
It's a good trailblazing snack.
It's a blazing snack while you're blazing trails.
Boom.
I think we just wrote your slogan there, Spontaneous
Combustion Beef Jerky.
You're welcome.
Well, actually, thank you for the beef jerky.
It's awesome.
We to get down to the bottom of the history of jerky.
We do.
Is it a American thing?
Or is it just because we live in America, we imagine
cowboys eating beef jerky?
I propose this.
We could pull out our phones right now
and read about the history of beef jerky,
or we could make it up in a video.
So we just make a historic reenactment
of how we think beef jerky came to be, whether it's factual
or not?
What if we each draw an animal out of a hat or something,
and then we try to make beef jerky out of that?
And then, at the end, we blind taste test them?
Well, that was just a few of our ideas.
We always love reading your ideas down in the comments.
So if you have a crazy, weird idea,
or maybe you're just curious about something,
you want us to test it, leave a comment down below.
We will read it and possibly incorporate that
into the commercial that we're going to make.
As always on this show, we peep this, and you keep this.
Check in the description down below
to find out how you can win your very own box of Spontaneous
Combustion Beef Jerky.
Better do it fast, because I think
we're going to eat it all.
Oh yeah.
Thank you for watching.
Later, peeps.
