- Oh, no!
- Oh, gosh!
- You guys are doing great!
You're doing great, Danny!
(Joey screaming)
- Hi, I'm Jamie.
Today we are going to try the Death Nut Challenge.
They're the spiciest peanuts on the planet.
I got 750 bucks.
Let's see who wants to try!
Okay, so there's five levels
of spicy peanuts in this package.
If someone can do the first level, they get 10 bucks.
And then we'll double it for each level after that.
And then we'll split $250 at the end for anybody
that can do all five levels.
Let's see what happens.
- Death Nut Challenge.
- I'm gonna have to pass.
- You're gonna have to pass?
- I'm not gonna do this.
Absolutely not.
- You have to chew the peanuts for 15 seconds,
and then wait 90 seconds between each round.
You interested in some of this sweet, sweet cash?
- Not if I have to eat a ton of them.
- It's too much, 13 million Scoville.
So, I'm gonna say no.
- Ah, these are looking pretty scary.
So I'm gonna bow out.
- Yeah, no, that would be cool,
but then I don't get what I want,
which is watching you guys try the Death Nut Challenge.
So, a couple weeks ago we did the Toe of Satan challenge,
and I gave out 100 bucks if you could do it.
There's a lot more money that you could make
with the Death Nut, which is why it's really weird
that like, everyone's tellin' me no.
I guess these super spicy peanuts are scarin' everybody.
Have you ever had really spicy food before?
- Maybe Thai food, at like a level three?
- Okay.
- 13 million Scoville?
- Spiciest peanuts on the planet.
- Toe of Satan was like, nine million,
and that was a bad day.
- What if we bargain?
I'll just let you punch me in the face for $40.
(laughs)
- That's actually not a bad deal.
- If there's this much cash on the line for this,
this must be insane.
- You wanna give it a shot?
- Yeah, I wanna say let's do it.
- We got a taker.
- I don't think I can handle all of this,
but I think I could handle a couple levels.
- Right.
- I'm in!
- I'm curious.
- You're doin' it. - I'll try it.
- Wait, hold up, hold up, hold up. I got an idea.
Aim the camera at those guys.
What's up, dudes?
Do you guys wanna try the Death Nut Challenge?
Danny, I know you like money.
- I've never done capsaicin before.
So I'm mostly curious.
I at least could get through a couple rounds, I think.
- Alright!
Okay, Drew?
- No way.
No way, I'm out 100%.
- Wait, but did you see--
- I'm not--
Don't even show it to me.
I'm not doin' it.
- This says, like, mild up here.
- [Drew] Oh, yeah, mild.
- You know, mild.
Then just like, mild plus.
Alright so Danny's in. - Yeah, nah, I'm out.
- Drew's out, I think it's time to try
the Death Nut Challenge.
Let's go.
Before we go too much further,
I want you guys to know how insane this challenge is.
So, check this out.
The Death Nut Challenge is a next-level spice test
that starts at blistering, and only gets more intense.
(fire crackling)
- Get your peanuts!
- [Jamie Voiceover] It's like eating regular peanuts
with a dose of pain.
Make that extra pain.
- Get your peanuts!
- [Jamie Voiceover] Battle your way through the five levels
of increasingly spicy nuts,
where each set is gratuitously coated in a different mix
of the world's hottest peppers.
If you reach the end, you'll face the Death Nut,
that contains pure capsaicin crystals
that are one thousand times hotter than a jalapeño,
(thunder crackling)
which is even too hot for Death.
- I'm out.
- Yeah, that's what I said too, man, high five!
(electricity zaps)
- Dang it.
(Death hissing)
Shoot.
- [Jamie Voiceover] Although we do spice challenges
literally like it's our job,
this might be our hardest one yet.
- Go faster!
(gasping)
- Alright, guys, here are the rules.
You get paid for every level of the challenge you complete.
If you complete all five, you get 250 bucks.
Now if there's a tie, you split it.
First level's worth 10 bucks.
You guys ready for the pain?
- Not at all.
- No, god, no.
- Alright!
Let's get started.
Open up your first compartment.
- Ah, I'm nervous!
- So freakin' nervous.
- So nervous.
- Aw, they're so big!
- Oh, gosh.
- Now, you have to chew it for 15 seconds.
And then we wait 90 seconds
before we move on to the next one.
Three, two, one, go.
(rock music)
- Oh! - Oh my god!
- Oh really?
Right at the start!
- Oh, my god, it's so spicy!
- Oh, a lot of it went to the back of my throat.
Like, right away, I shouldn't have gone like this.
- Oh, no, oh, no.
- Okay it's been 15 seconds,
you could swallow them if you want.
Just wanted to remind you guys this is heat level of mild.
I don't know if you guys saw that, over there,
milk and ice cream and Tums and Pepto...
(coughing) - Oh, ah!
Oh, god!
- A minute to go.
- Swallowed it.
- A minute to go.
(Ben coughing)
- That really, really sucked.
- I'm feeling it in the throat
and I'm feeling it on the tongue and on the lips.
- Nina, how are you doin'?
- I'm okay.
(all laughing)
- Oh, no!
Look at these three babies!
Freakin' out!
- That was no fun.
This is gonna suck.
- Seven seconds 'til we have to start the next one,
or you can quit now, take your 10 bucks.
Open the next packet.
- [Danny] Gosh dang it.
- Alright, level two.
Three, two, one, go.
- I can't taste it 'cause my mouth is on fire already.
- Oh, that one's weird.
(Ben coughing)
That one's, like, deep in the lungs.
- My stomach is gettin' tight.
- It's just heat.
It's just all, like, yeah.
- I'm worried about you.
(laughing)
- It definitely gets worse later.
- My face is gettin' numb, guys.
Woo!
- Guys, I just wanted to bring this out,
just in case you weren't aware of, like,
all the stuff that's back there at the relief table.
It's almost too cold to hold this milk, okay?
You guys can have this milk.
Just bow out now--
- Did you have a nickname in high school?
Like, jerk, or butthead?
- Guys, 10 seconds!
- Ah, I don't wanna keep going!
- No, you don't.
- Everybody got your peanuts ready?
- Alright I wanna try one more!
Three, two, one, go.
Alright, 15 seconds of chewing.
- Oh!
Oh no!
- Holy crap!
(laughing)
- So far it's been worth every penny.
- Just jump.
- Ben, can you hold onto that for a second?
Can you just hold it?
I just...
Can you hold this for me?
- No, I'm good, I don't need to see it.
- You don't need to see it? - I don't wanna see it.
- Just put this up against your cheek.
- Ah, oh my god!
That feels so good!
- Think how good that would feel to eat that!
- It says medium!
- Feel how good that would be, right?
- I feel like this one's going slower.
- Oh, I'm getting light-headed.
- Oh my gosh.
- You guys still got about 30 seconds.
- The next level says, pain sets in.
- Ah!
- I dunno, that's a lot more stomach pain if I stay in.
- Four, three...
Okay, get your next compartment ready
going into level four--
- I'm out!
I'm done!
- Ben's out!
- I'm out.
- Good job. - I'm out.
- Good job.
(Ben groaning)
- All right, you guys ready? - Oh, yeah.
- Three, two, one, go!
(dramatic music)
- Oh, no!
- I just wanna point out how smart I feel like Ben was
to just like, get out?
- This'll feel better.
It feels pretty good.
(groaning)
- Joey, Joey, wait, check me out.
Check me out.
(Joey laughing)
- Go faster!
(gasping)
- 10 seconds, you gotta get ready for the final level!
Are all three of you-- - I'm goin' for it!
Gonna go for level five? - No, guys, just quit.
- I'm out.
- She's out! - She's out!
Help yourself!
Okay, three, two, one, go.
(Joey groans)
15 seconds of chewing.
Now, remember, everyone!
These are the nuts that have the 13 million Scoville unit
pure capsaicin crystals.
- Oh, no!
- Oh, gosh!
- Sweet baby Jesus!
- The gums are the--
(gags)
What have I done?
- You guys are doing great!
You're doing great, Danny!
(Joey screams)
How are your stomachs doin'?
- This is hotter than the Toe of Satan.
- Oh my god.
- Really, that hot?
- Oh, yeah.
- Wow.
- Oh, that one pushed it over the limit.
(Danny yells)
- Guys, guys.
Your time is up!
Take your relief.
- Woo we did it!
I can hardly talk.
My temples are tingling.
My lips aren't really following what I'm trying to say.
- My ears hurt!
- How do you feel, was it worth the 150 bucks?
- Yes?
I'm glad I didn't stop at level two or three?
I'm like physically shaking right now, so,
don't think I wanted to go for the fifth one.
- My tongue is still on fire.
So I'm glad I didn't go any further.
I decided it wasn't worth it.
After seeing these guys right now, I'm glad I didn't.
- The Death Nut Challenge appears to be no joke.
We got two people, couldn't finish it.
Two that look like they really regret doing it.
Just think, folks, you could have this much fun
at home, too!
Look at it!
We got one man down, another man...
Halfway down...
Here you go!
Good job!
- I don't care what it looks like.
Say what you want, it feels great.
- Your winnings.
- Thank you, sir.
- It hurts so bad.
My stomach...
My neck...
My throat...
My ears hurt.
It does.
- Rubbin' some cash on your throat?
Is that makin' it feel any better?
- [Jamie] He's shoving the money into his mouth.
Danny!
(Joey and Danny moaning)
- I'm glad I got the money,
and I'm glad I did not have to eat the Death Nut.
That thing is scary.
- I think bowing out at level four
was the best decision I could have made.
I've seen the other guys who did level five
and they're pretty torn up.
- Death Nut, hands down, hottest thing
I've ever put in my mouth.
Crazy.
- After doing it, if I could go back and talk to myself,
I would say, skip round five.
Not worth the money.
- I'm in a lot of pain.
- [Jamie Voiceover] Test your taste buds
and get the Death Nut Challenge,
plus hundreds of other gifts
we've found for you at Vat19.com.
- [Cameraman] Not feeling good, Danny?
- I almost threw up.
Hence the trash can.
Then I got really hot.
Hence the shirt off.
