Something that is just entrenched in 5 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,240 Speaker 1: our DNA. I sat down with show president Ben Stock 6 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:22,079 Speaker 1: to talk one of the many new editions this year. 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: This one comes with a bit of heat. They've introduced 8 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:28,680 Speaker 1: a chili eating competition. 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 2: We've got spicy boys from christ Church. You're going to 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 2: come on up and we'll come on down and provide 11 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,519 Speaker 2: a chili eating competition. As far as we're aware, it's 12 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,440 Speaker 2: Ashburton's first one, so up to thirty participants. I picking 13 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 2: we start at the very mild jalapeno and we work 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: our way up to the Carolina Reaper, which we understand 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 2: has just been replaced by a very understated pepper X, 16 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: which now scores in the mid two million to two 17 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,560 Speaker 2: and a half million snoball rating. 18 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,960 Speaker 1: I feel like this is, you know with Jurassic work, 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: where they went, Okay, we've recreated the dinosaurs, but they're 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: not scary enough. So let's cultivate something in a lab 21 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: and just blow out of the water. That's what they've 22 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: done with pepper X as they call it here, which 23 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: apparently is twice the heat of a Carolina reaper. 24 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 2: Just I just can't believe it. Actually, you know, it's 25 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: and it was such an aim like pepper X. So yeah, 26 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 2: it's gonna be it's gonna be a lot of fun. 27 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,399 Speaker 2: I understand you're having a go, Luke well standing. 28 00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: I managed the expectations I feel when it came to 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:32,040 Speaker 1: the shearing or the embarrassment of the shearing last year, 30 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: although I'm saying that when I was standing up next 31 00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: to the likes of Roasty Douglas, whose lamb was halfway 32 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: to heines by the time I even had the handpiece secured, 33 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,120 Speaker 1: I didn't think I did too bad, But I knew 34 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 1: that my strength wasn't in shearing, whereas I do quite 35 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: like spicy food being stick yeah good. When people were 36 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: ordering something from the Indian, I'll go with a hot option, 37 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 1: and usually I tend to eat that by myself. So 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: I don't know if there was one thing I backed 39 00:01:58,560 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 1: myself and I reckon it's this. 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: Well, that's really good. Do you know there's a couple 41 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 2: of understated people around in our community who actually just 42 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: sort of quietly backing themselves in this space as well, 43 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: So you're going to be in good company.
