Two guys walk into a bar and eat the spiciest pepper on Earth. There’s no punchline—that is the joke.

Dubbed the “California Reaper” (and grown by the vividly named PuckerButt Pepper Company), this chili holds the world record for spiciness. According to Guinness, scientists measure its average hotness at 1,569,300 Scoville Heat Units (SHU), with a peak spice level of 2.2 million.

For scale, that’s about 5 to 15 times hotter than a habanero.

After two capsaicin-crazy “chiliheads” undertook the California Reaper challenge in the spice-themed video series Hot Ones, their teary-eyed taste test hit the no. one spot on Reddit’s Videos community. Watch host Sean Evans and guest Chili Klaus sweat, squirm, and weep their way through the Reaper in the video below:

While Chili Klaus might have the more impressive name, Sean Evans has earned quite a reputation in the capsaicin community.

His show Hot Ones typically features a rapper as the interviewee, and a plate of wings as the spice vehicle.

In one memorable episode from August, Ja Rule is the guest of honor. He shows up wearing sunglasses from the beginning, saying, “I don’t want y’all to see me cry.”

When Evans presents Ja with the hottest hot sauce in his arsenal—”71 times hotter than a jalapeño,” he warns—the rapper replies, “Are you fucking crazy?”

But Evans applies the peer pressure and Ja relents, chugging milk to prepare for the burn. After they take a synchronized bite, Evans announces that “This is like the dumbest show on the Internet”—but anyone who can make Ja Rule cry deserves credit:

As Evans gears up for the second season of Hot Ones, fans on Reddit have a suggestion for the next rapper he should feature: Drake.
