12-yr-old eats 7 Pot Brain Strain Pepper (1.4 million Scoville) : Crude Brothers

[@z_cutzzz]

I am 11 years old and I don't think I could take the heat as you guys did.YOU ARE PEPPER MASTERS

[@CrudeBrothers]

Zahid Ornelas it took us a long time to build up to this ... Nick was getting pizzas covered in jalapenos and anchovies, when he was only 5-years-old

[@dylanwesburry]

Sweet intro!! I loved it. Dayum that looked hot. I give Nick sooo much credit. He's legit the bravest kid on KZbin hands down.

[@CrudeBrothers]

BigRed Thanks, BigRed ... we really appreciate the sweet words

[@mbcool782]

my favorite channel subbed for 3 years

[@eldritchinterface7481]

You're right about that endorphin rush, it's the only explanation for the addictiveness of the burn

[@LudwigSC93]

This is an awesome dad. He's like his best friend. Weird way of being involved in your kids life but I wish I had had this.

[@CrudeBrothers]

LudwigSC93 not that weird at all ... and tons of fun ... we're having the time of our lives with this channel

[@bashyam75]

Wow best video I ever seen on this channel.You should have 50.000.000 million subscribers by now. :)

[@CrudeBrothers]

bashyam75 :-) Thank you so much

[@wmoore862]

Wow.....awesome video guys!!! Really great job!! Nick you looked like you reached "panic mode" there for a little bit! I've felt that way myself a few times! And I also get that whole numb body tingling sensation as well. Once again....awesome job!! And I have a saying......."The only thing that makes the burn go away is TIME."

[@victorpena3129]

.

[@CrudeBrothers]

Vicor Peña Thanks for checking out our channel

[@CrudeBrothers]

Bill Moore's Hot & Spicy Reviews Thanks Bill, for all the great comments ... yeah, the adrenaline rush was new for us ... seems like the milk/ice cream reduce that a little bit (on most peppers, except for the super superhots, like the Carolina Reaper) ... but, you're right - it just takes a finite amount of time for the heat to really go away

[@dylan5wolfe686]

Honestly this is the most I've seen nick freak out or react from a pepper.Keep up the great channel,love your vids

[@CrudeBrothers]

DilMeister123 we made the mistake of letting Nick try some coffee (1 hour before filming this) ... he was bouncing off the wall with energy ... more from the combo adrenaline rush from both of them - than the pepper itself ... these are hotter than Ghost Peppers, too - and much hotter than dried Ghost Peppers

[@Borg1269]

Wow that's some crazy self-control right there for a 12-year-old! I can't even imagine how hot these peppers are for the hottest i've ever eaten was a slice of a habanero. Definitely going to check out more of your channel. Greetings from Germany

[@CrudeBrothers]

Borg1269 Thanks so much for supporting us from Germany ... we can't wait to travel there someday

[@drakodylin8628]

How hot would something be if it was a billion scoville units?

[@chilekulkarni6912]

Dang Nick got a huge gnarly looking pod! Great video as always!

[@CrudeBrothers]

Chile Kulkarni :-) Thanks

[@ZacharyKing02]

This kid is a beast. Is there a video of them eating the yellow 7 pot brain strain? I know it is not as hot but i was told it has a great flavor. i would love to see a video of them eating one and seeing what they think about the heat and flavor. I am asking because i am growing some this year and it will be my first super hot i have eaten.

[@CrudeBrothers]

Zachary King we haven't had the Yellow 7 Pot Brain Strain yet ... maybe down the road in a future vid (the list is incredibly long for upcoming videos) ... Thanks for watching

[@z_cutzzz]

You guys are my favorite youtubers :)

[@CrudeBrothers]

Zahid Ornelas Thanks, Zahid ... your comment made our day

[@davidallen8822]

Great job guys! Your videos keep getting better.

[@CrudeBrothers]

Jake Lamotta Thanks, Jake ... so is your left hook

[@Sparxy]

Really nice videos. I really enjoy watching them! Kepp up the great work :)

[@CrudeBrothers]

WellGames | Lukas Thanks, Lukas

[@hey_brandon]

new crude brothers episode! #score!!! :) yet again another extremely creative intro lol, love them to death!!

[@CrudeBrothers]

Phurplex Thanks ... we had a lot of fun with this one ... up until eating the pepper ... LOL

[@Crazyfighter99]

I was surprised! J, you totally took that way better than Nick did. Though I suppose some people are more sensitive to different peppers. Good video, guys!

[@CrudeBrothers]

Crazyfighter99 It was definitely my best (with superhot peppers) ... I never let Nick have coffee - but, we "celebrated" the occasion, and I let him have a grande Americano an hour before the vid - that, and the adrenaline blast from the pepper - he was absolutely bouncing off the walls with energy - felt great after ... and asked me to take him out to his favorite Mexican restaurant :-)

[@samanthaevans4231]

I'm definitely missing the vids. wish there were some new ones. I love the old ones too though. hope they come back soon.

[@CrudeBrothers]

hey Samantha ... we're just on a bit of a hiatus with Nick starting high school ... Thanks so much for the sweet words and support ... we'll be back at it down the road

[@NastyTanooki]

vous êtes vraiment genial, j'adore regarder vos challenge, et bravo a votre fils, il est impressionnant!!!! De France You are relly great, i like watching your challenge, and bravo to your son, he is relly impressive!!! From France

[@finessegod6972]

You guys are so good at this I can't believe nick has ate so many spicy things it just amazes me

[@CrudeBrothers]

Marquese Clark Thanks, again, Marquese

[@finessegod6972]

Your welcome thank you

[@bigfoot5680]

The Crude Brothers your awesome for a 12 year old to handle that heat is insane and without milk! You guy are awesome.

[@souljavanno]

How do you guys have less than 100k subs? You should have at least a million.

[@CrudeBrothers]

Multedit :-) you are very sweet ... Thanks so much for the support

[@chilihead98]

Hi crude brothers! Great video again. I grow my own peppers in my garden. Have you ever tried this? Nice greetings from austria

[@CrudeBrothers]

chilihead98 Nick and his Grandpa grew some chilies the past year ... Thanks so much for supporting us from Austria

[@chilihead98]

The Crude Brothers thank you! keep it up- you are awesome

[@ohyup186]

I absolutely love your videos!! Keep it up!

[@CrudeBrothers]

Elijah Garcia Thanks, Elijah ... we really appreciate your support

[@katie.e.g.]

Haha! I do the same thing sometimes when there's 2-3 minutes left: "one song away". Also, I've never seen nick react so strongly! Must've been brutal.

[@alastairgilroy8752]

Well done both of you. You took that probably better than Nick did, but you could see the concerned parent in you and that probably helped you control your own burn. Endorphin rush too calms the body. Great videos as always guys!

[@CrudeBrothers]

Alastair Gilroy we made the mistake of letting him try coffee (an hour before filming) to celebrate having another superhot ... he was bouncing off the walls - not the best combo with the adrenaline blast of the pepper ... LOL ... we needed to move around ... two hours later, we were at his favorite Mexican restaurant and he was munching on habanero salsa and the hottest entree on the menu :-)

[@clintwalker1216]

You guys are awesome, keep the awesome videos coming and we will keep watching from here in Ogallala, Ne

[@palavos3891]

Of course they are hotter than jolokias. Most people don't know this but the average heat on the ghost is 700,00-800,000. Now the scorpions, 7 pods, and reapers usually average well over a million consistently. Jay what seemed more brutal to you the brainstrain or the reaper? Some people have a lot of trouble with the 7 pods including me!! Anyway, great video and cool shirts!

[@CrudeBrothers]

Mark Vrahotes the Carolina Reaper was a bit more brutal ... but it was REALLY close ... once you go past 1 Million Scoville on these superhot peppers - the subtleties tend to fade away ... LOL ... I've heard people talk about liking the flavor of the Brain Strains ... the flavor is "oh, there is a pepper in my mouth" - for about 5 seconds and then WHAM! :-)

[@maisie9867]

+The Crude Brothers I saw that! Keep up the good videos!

[@johnguth4015]

"Almost gives you a relaxed feeling, doesnt it?" "NO" "Do you want to stand up?" "NO" Hahaha the first time a pepper has ever beat him. Awesome vid

[@CrudeBrothers]

John Guth the adrenaline blast was incredible ... we both needed to move around or something - don't know how he stayed in his chair the whole time ... we walked around the house for 1/2 hour afterwards ... then, believe it or not - went out for Mexican food a couple hours later :-)

[@andrewsaal8541]

I love watching your videos the always cheer me up! :)

[@paideiarevisited2925]

Mad PROPS to Nick. He had the same volume of pepper but he probably only weighs 100 pounds. WOW. Jeez!!!!

[@charlenegombio1054]

Just started watching you guys are great keep it up

[@Miller4life]

them starts

[@CrudeBrothers]

matthew miller :-) Thanks, Matt

[@jackdodds8132]

I'm watching from England and I love your vids

[@CrudeBrothers]

Jack Dodds Thanks so much for supporting us from England ... really appreciate it

[@cbracho01]

Nice vid! I haven't seen Crude brother Nick Having a Reaction in a while! XD

[@CrudeBrothers]

cbracho01 we made the mistake of letting him have coffee (an hour before filming) ... he never has soda/coffee/caffeine ... the dual effect of that and the adrenaline blast of the pepper - had him bouncing off the walls with energy ... we both felt great after we were able to get up and walk around

[@HeyyitsTiffyy]

Lol I just noticed that when ever the dad eats spicy stuff he hiccups!😂

[@CrudeBrothers]

***** :-) yep, pretty much every time ... I'm the Hiccup Master ... LOL

[@maxholman9402]

Just thought I'd throw this out there for future help, sugar and peanut butter are said to help, but I've never had anything hotter than tobacco so I don't really know

[@CrudeBrothers]

Max Holman we've heard that about sugar and peanut butter ... for this one, we wanted to go the whole video without eating/drinking anything - just to see what it was like

[@DarePerfect]

haha i kinda died there, "Tobasco" you mean. Not "Tobacco" which is "Tobaco" haha hottest "Sigarett I've ever tasted have to be one of Khalifa's Blunts ;)

[@maxholman9402]

[@leonmelhuish]

Amazing well done can't believe u guys can actually do that well done!!

[@Parakeet099]

HOT HOT HOT! Great video as always! Gosh, that must have burned badly!

[@jblack5728]

Cool video guys, You should take up a rap career haha... Keep up the vids. I'm enjoying going thru and watching your older videos I haven't seen. Awesome work guys.

[@CrudeBrothers]

JBTactical :-) Crude Brother J with Chuck D and Busta Rhymes ... the Scoville Heat Wave Manifesto ... LOL

[@jblack5728]

The Crude Brothers haha

[@tannervreeken4525]

I love your videos you guys entertain me so much and Nick has guts for eating all these worlds hottest peppers

[@CrudeBrothers]

Tanner Vreeken you make our day with such wonderful comments ... glad you like the vids

[@djakacell4281]

Nice intro jingle, what song from, probably the 80s, did inspire you guys? Also when David Letterman is going to invite you? P.S. That is the only US show you can watch on free italian tv. P.P.S. I am so delighted that you answer to almost all the comments that you recive ...keep going...

[@CrudeBrothers]

maurizio scrugli :-) start sending him messages ... I think Nick could be an interesting interview subject ... Letterman would get a kick out of him ... the intro didn't have any particular inspiration - maybe Busta Rhymes crossed with Chuck D? LOL

[@roncam5780]

Jay you handled that pepper like a boss

[@CrudeBrothers]

roncam57 :-) Thanks ... I was trying really hard to be more like Nick and go with the flow

[@NuevoVR]

All that breathing my mum came in and thought i was watching you know what XD respect from england

[@CrudeBrothers]

KuuroGaming iOS LOL ... Thanks for supporting us from England ... can't wait to travel there in the next few years

[@NuevoVR]

no problem keep up the awesome vids

[@Aukejorrit]

big fan, watching from the netherlands!!

[@arthurkevineliejr4868]

wouldn't buttermilk be really good for helping with the burn???You guys are great I really enjoy your videos very much and always look forward to seeing what is next!!!

[@aliqudsicartermorris4222]

Great job guys good video as usual!

[@CrudeBrothers]

Ali Qudsi Carter Morris Thanks

[@stephanieguerrero3706]

This is amazing!!!Great job guys

[@romalisdorris8190]

U guys are great I really enjoy ur videos. I will never try any of that. And the Lil crude bro I give him much respect

[@CrudeBrothers]

Romalis Dorris Thanks so much ... we really appreciate your support and respect

[@Dinksonly21]

Are you guys going to do the chocolate bhudla any time soon and love the video. Your sons pretty tough

[@CrudeBrothers]

cole sullivan we're hoping ... think they might be out of season at the moment ... this year, for sure, we'll be doing two whole fresh pods

[@uwaisramzan7134]

I tasted one of those and I could not breath so well done man and kid

[@CrudeBrothers]

Uwais Ramzan yeah, the Brain Strains were some smoking hot peppers ... Thanks

[@paulmaw2300]

awesome video as always, love your videos. hope nick is ok, never seen him suffer that bad before

[@CrudeBrothers]

paul maw yeah ... Nick was fine ... just extra challenging to not drink anything ... was an added psychological challenge ... we went out for Mexican food for dinner, a couple hours after the vid ... Nick had the hottest salsa and entree on the menu

[@ImAuxable]

How do you guys not have have more subscribers?

[@CrudeBrothers]

ImAuxable Thanks for the nice comment ... appreciate it :-)

[@Sweetchilliheat18]

They have mad subs now bro.

[@tobiesadrummer8421]

How bad does your stomach feel after eating these peppers. I'm used to peppers above 300,000 scovilles, but saying that, I've never tried anything hotter, except for these chips made with bhut jolokia ghost pepper, and that wasn't as hot as I expected. The gummy chii's you tried, how hot was the ghost one?

[@CrudeBrothers]

OPSNEEK our stomachs don't feel bad afterwards (even after the Carolina Reaper) ... it's key to have a full belly of healthy food before having a superhot pepper (helps immensely) ... we felt good enough after this one - that we went out for a spicy Mexican dinner, two hours later ... the Ghost Pepper gummies were very hot, but not like eating a whole fresh Ghost

[@traceyzollar2843]

Your the best. Loved the intro LOL

[@bioshockinfinite8701]

You're*

[@tobiesadrummer8421]

Thanks for making these videos! I'm a chillihead just like you guys! very entertaining food, in't it? Anyways, you guys make such simple videos very entertaining. :)

[@CrudeBrothers]

OPSNEEK Thanks for the wonderful comments ... we really appreciate your support and love hearing from fellow Chileheads

[@akaxedous5127]

I love your videos if you uploaded daily those videos would be apart of my daily routine

[@CrudeBrothers]

FaZe Abduct :-) Thanks for the wonderful comment

[@nickpavlov878]

Hi crude brothers I would like to say I am a fan all the way from Dublin ireland and am a big fan and keep doing what your doing and good luck in the future

[@shohongyok7290]

You are total powerful you have the hot heart you need to put this kid on the Guinness world record

[@CrudeBrothers]

SHOBLASTA Hongyok we might have him enter some competitions in the future ... though, I wonder if there are any where they let a 12-yr-old take on the adults ... if anyone knows of one - please post it ... Thanks

[@micspe6514]

Love your videos! You should do some more video editing like adding soundtracks to the videos instead of playing music in the background. It would add significantly to the production value. Keep up the good yet extremely painful work! P.S. I'm working on my way to becoming a chilihead. I'm thinking about taking the next step and eating a fresh orange habanero. Eventually, I want to take on a ghost pepper. My tolerance is probably at a moderate level right now. I just had a habanero salsa last night that didn't really phase me. My uncle's homemade hot sauce is made with fresh habaneros and beer and I just pour it on and it only adds a little amount of heat for me. Any advice?

[@CrudeBrothers]

Michael Spencer Thanks for the great comment ... check out the new Crude Brothers Montage video and the Sour Gauntlet - have learned a bit about vid production in the past few weeks ... regarding your question, I'd definitely take the next step and pick up a pack of orange habaneros - only one at a time, though - and make sure you have a full stomach of healthy food before eating one ... will help immensely

[@fishhooker725]

I don't understand how you're not the most popular you tuber ever great vid

[@CrudeBrothers]

Chris Sutton Thanks, Chris ... you are very sweet ... we really appreciate your support

[@chicatheduck6314]

[@justininlow2710]

[@CrudeBrothers]

Justin Inlow Thanks, Justin ... we really appreciate the sweet words and support

[@sunfangz3513]

U guys are the eating masters!great job!

[@maisie9867]

You should make a video with the 6.4 million scoville unit extract

[@CrudeBrothers]

Maisie Reynolds we had The Source in an earlier video ... that is 7.1 Million Scoville ... Thanks for watching

[@smkcronicblunts]

Hottest thing I ever ate was tacos with Blair's after death with liquid fire and don't want to try anything hotter haha props to Nick he is a beast! I've been watching your videos for almost a year now and they're great keep up the good work guys!!!

[@CrudeBrothers]

smkcronicblunts we have some After Death in the fridge ... that is a pretty smoking hot sauce (on their scale of sauces) ... looking forward to trying it ... Thanks for supporting us from the beginning

[@arefh98]

Another great video ! :) greetings from kuwait :)

[@CrudeBrothers]

egthriller Thank you so much for supporting us from Kuwait ... we really appreciate it

[@brennaschlegel5043]

Nice job! I know I wouldn't ever be able to eat one single hot pepper! =)

[@CrudeBrothers]

peach21481 cp Thanks for the sweet comment ... we appreciate it

[@kidwizah]

You guys are so brave really I love your videos

[@CrudeBrothers]

adel alzber Thanks, Adel

[@kylejohn3595]

I've had a dried ghost pepper before as i mentioned in another comment. Just today I tried dried and fresh. I tried dried, it was hot then i waited a while for it to die down. Then I tried fresh, fresh is a good bit higher in heat in my opinion, and warning: if your not that tolerant to spicy foods, watch out when you use the restroom it isn't to pleasing.

[@CrudeBrothers]

kyle john yeah, fresh is definitely hotter ... it helps immensely to have a stomach full of healthy foods before taking on things that are really spicy ... we avoid stomachaches and "next day" nastiness after 95% of our vids by doing that

[@td6270]

two of the toughest guys on youtube

[@husseinalkadhim6247]

I enjoy your videos!

[@CrudeBrothers]

hussein alkadhim Thanks so much

[@iOrionMedia]

i get a 'rush' when i eat really hot foods/spices/peppers and it IS like "ridin the heat wave" like you said xD could you even taste the pepper itself or was it too scalding?

[@CrudeBrothers]

iOrion with all the peppers that we've had, over 1 Million Scoville (Ghost, Moruga Scorpion, Brain Strain, Carolina Reaper) ... you're only aware of the taste for maybe 10 seconds and then KABOOM ... it's Whammer Jammer Furnace Time

[@iloveu12259065]

Wow I had like 7 warheads today and my moth still burns I wonder how yall felt so brave! Merry Christmas!!!

[@snakemanstu]

Just subbed great videos guys..me and my kids like hot sauce and peppers also.

[@CrudeBrothers]

snakemanstu very cool ... Thanks for the support ... we love hearing from fellow Chileheads

[@donaldslayton2769]

I tell people that time is the only real solution for super hot peppers

[@carlyandzack1038]

Good video guys love the rap! haha

[@CrudeBrothers]

Carly Harris :-) Thanks, Carly ... we had a lot of fun with the intro

[@MrAntzilla]

What about the coming out part!? If it burns that bad going in, I couldn't imagine the next day!!!

[@klaus9503]

Nick was probably hyperventilating, that would explain the numbness and tingles. Absolute crazy!

[@roncam5780]

Sorry you haven't been hereing from me lately. Don't worry I still watch all of your videos

[@CrudeBrothers]

roncam57 great to hear from you again ... Thanks for supporting us from the beginning

[@jamalvanputten7001]

I love your videos

[@CrudeBrothers]

Jamal Vanputten Thanks, Jamal

[@stevesmith-ji6px]

when at the worst of the heat you should test math skills or something like that to see of it really effects the BRAIN!!! LOL

[@CrudeBrothers]

steve smith :-) that would be an interesting experiment ... good luck focusing on numbers (or anything) when you're being hit with the adrenaline rush that one of these superhots gives you ... maybe a future vid for us

[@stevesmith-ji6px]

my point!! lol

[@voxias8442]

I love your pepper videos you guys are the best #Thecrudebrothers

[@CrudeBrothers]

Derek Tsang Thanks, Derek

[@CookiesTaken]

Here from the death nut challenge!!!

[@Fay676]

Wow!! The boy has guts haha me looking at a glass a milk and my mouth on fire! Omg good job guys!!

[@CrudeBrothers]

Fatima Z :-) Thanks ... this one was wildly intense

[@Jarr0n]

Ima guess this probably your hottest pepper cause nick was dieing but he's a warrior for lastin the 10 min

[@CrudeBrothers]

Jarron Lakes I made the mistake of letting him have coffee (an hour before the vid) ... that, and the adrenaline blast of the pepper - he was bouncing off the walls ... I should have bought a boxing heavy bag and let us go to town on it :-)

[@ostynfisher8575]

You guys should try to make salsa out of peppers and dip the ghost pepper chips in them.

[@CrudeBrothers]

Ostyn Fisher That would be very good ... Thanks for the suggestion ... we may make our own salsa and/or hot sauce in a future vid

[@anthonybolli3800]

Omg how can that kid eat that you guys are talented love u guys good job on KZbin 😉

[@toomseye]

Haha oh you do try this. I just commented on your Carolina reaper video. Very nice job guys. This pepper was very very intense compared to anything I've ever had. I've made pepper sauce,out of these. Very very hot. Nice reminds me of how I acted when I,ate mine. I just wanted it to be over with. I think,the burn on these are crazy

[@CrudeBrothers]

toomseye yeah, they were very intense ... we made the mistake f letting Nick try coffee before filming ... too much adrenaline from the combo ... he could have set the world record high jump with his energy ... once we were able to move around - we felt great ... two hours later, he had me take him out to his favorite Mexican restaurant :-)

[@roostercogburn9923]

I don't know, I can't talk. Brother Nick!!!!!

[@CrudeBrothers]

rooster cogburn yeah ... he wasn't in the mood for my goofing around ... this one took some laser-beam focus ... it didn't help that I let him try coffee an hour earlier (has never really had caffeine) ... was bouncing off the walls with energy

[@roostercogburn9923]

Awesome, totally awesome

[@Maerros]

I got a challenge for you guys. There are these peppers called birds eye chillis, u can get the from tesco, they are pretty strong like 300,000 scoville. The challenge is to see how many of them you can eat. Kid vs Man

[@CrudeBrothers]

Milosz Kurzynski we're thinking about doing Kid Vs Man with peppers .. Birds Eye would be a good choice ... there a sauce in our fridge that has those chilis in it that is quite good ... Nando's Xtra Hot Peri Peri sauce

[@Maerros]

Great!
