1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,559 Speaker 1: The one hundred and forty eighths Ashburton Amp show back 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 1: this Friday the thirty first and Saturday the first of November. 3 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 1: All of your favorites returning and some new editions such 4 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: as a chili eating competition. And somebody who's helping pull 5 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 1: this together is Jay from an outfit called Spicy Boys, 6 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: which started twenty eighteen as a stall at a farmer's market. 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:25,640 Speaker 1: They've now got a factory supplying hot sauce right across 8 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: the country, thirteen chili sauces in the range, drawing on 9 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,080 Speaker 1: seven different varieties of chili's get They munched through five 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: hundred kg's of these things a week, and this is 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 1: what he's going to be serving up on Saturday. So 12 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,199 Speaker 1: began by asking Jay, what's what's the hottest chili that 13 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: you use? 14 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 2: The hottest that we use? These one called chocolate Carolina 15 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,880 Speaker 2: Rappers's called chocolate. That's just what they call the brown 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 2: varieties those chilies. 17 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 1: So does it subdue it in any way? 18 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: No way worse. The spicy compound within chilies is called 19 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 2: cap space, so that's the chemical that gives the spice feeling. Yeah, 20 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: And then in the there's also another compound called dihydro 21 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:18,480 Speaker 2: cape space, and that is found at a higher at 22 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 2: a higher amount within the chocolate varieties of chilie so 23 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: and choclate gropers, there's a higher amount of dihydro cape 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 2: sasson And instead of being that stingy on the tongue burn, 25 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: it's a deeper like in your throat burn. And it's 26 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 2: the receptors that are allowing you to be able to 27 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,160 Speaker 2: feel that pain. So most mammals have it right, And 28 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: it's so that I think it was developed because the 29 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 2: chili plants don't want mammals to be eating the fruit. 30 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 2: They want birds to be eating the fruit and then 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: going to put the seeds all around, and so they 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: created cap sasin to stop mammals from eating it. Yeah, 33 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: And so birds like any birds don't have cape space 34 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 2: and receipts in the checks or whatever, and they won't. 35 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: They don't feel the heat. 36 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 2: Really, you can use it to get rid of like 37 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 2: knives or rats or elephants. I'm pretty sure over in 38 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: Africa they use chili. Welly used to use chili sprays 39 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: to keep elephants away from. 40 00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're saying if there's any leftover stuff from 41 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: this coming week, kend I should take it and put 42 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 1: up in the roof. Keep the rodents away. Yeah. Yeah. 43 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: If there are any local astir birds, this is the 44 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 2: perfect competition for you to come win. 45 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: You're on there too. Why is it that some people 46 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: are more sensitive to the heats than others. 47 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not too sure about that one. I think 48 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 2: that is a case by case. There are a few 49 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: people that I've seen that apparently don't have pain receptors, 50 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: and those. 51 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,280 Speaker 1: People so they are birds, they're relatives of birds. 52 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, they must be, because there is one. There's one 53 00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 2: lady who's won the North Island finals and she apparently 54 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: had no pain receptors. I watched it in person, thirty 55 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: chilis and shehouldn't break the sweat. 56 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: She was zero zero. 57 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,359 Speaker 2: It was insane. 58 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. So naturally wanted to know what we're 59 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: in store for. 60 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 2: So we're going to be doing a mixture of sauces 61 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: and chilies, and then we might even bring some of 62 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 2: those gunpowder, which is our smoke dried chili powder. 63 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: Hello, we did some. 64 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: We did a competition recently with that stuff and it 65 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 2: was it worked very well. I like to get very 66 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 2: intense into the competition. So as much as the competitors 67 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: against each other, I view it as all of the 68 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: competitors against me, and so I always get very nervous 69 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 2: that they're going to eat me out of all the chilies, 70 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 2: and then there's going to be more than one person standing. 71 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: Well, Jay, I'm hoping that I might just be one 72 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: of them. Personally, I'm looking forward to this. So I'm 73 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: going to be packed up there at the banquet table 74 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 1: with you on set today. And I do rape myself 75 00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: fairly tolerant to spicy stuff, like like the confidence. If 76 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 1: that confidence is mislay and we do start feeling the burn, 77 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: what helps is milk. The best go to. 78 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 2: Uh, milk is a right cold Milk's pretty good, But 79 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: I personally prefer like ice cold water. Some people say 80 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: that water is bad because it like rereads the heat around. Yeah, No, 81 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 2: I don't find that to be the case. I I've 82 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 2: found that the only real folks is time you sut 83 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: it out. 84 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: There's no easy option here. 85 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 2: We haven't found to cure yet. 86 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,359 Speaker 1: You know. This reminds me of the episode of The 87 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: Simpsons where Homer is at the chili eating contest. 88 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 2: He puts the wax down the throat. 89 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 1: He puts the wax on the throw you reckon. 90 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: That would help, I say, I would. I haven't seen 91 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,039 Speaker 2: it done yet, but I'd love to. I'd love to 92 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: see someone to tempt that well. 93 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: It is five hundred dollars up for grabs, all thanks 94 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: to Audie Petroleum with the chili eating contest. This set 95 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: today and it all starts eleven o'clock a I. 96 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: Think it's eleven, and then it goes almost likely go 97 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: for about two hours. It will be some hardcore people 98 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: up there if they're going for two hours, so will 99 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 2: most likely start with just a little kalipenia, do some introductions, obviously, 100 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 2: introduce the celebrity guests yourself, and then we've got any 101 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 2: of the hardcores that have driven driven down, we'll stay 102 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: high to them. 103 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: And are you inviting some special guests. 104 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: Because there's prize money involved. I think it attracts some 105 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: of the so you might be getting some you might 106 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 2: be getting some of the seasoned professionals coming down. But 107 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 2: we'll go through that and then we'll probably start with 108 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: a little kalipenya around just to ease everyone. Then show 109 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 2: them what they're in for. And then get right into 110 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: it and it's gonna be it's gonna be a whole 111 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 2: good day of spice, pain and obviously glory for that 112 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: special person. 113 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: What more do you want and if you would like 114 00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 1: to have a crank at that glory and that cash, 115 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: it is not too late to sign up for the 116 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: chili eating competition at the show this weekend.
