My Viewers Challenged Me - and This Happened! Dare The Pea Tuesday Rewind

Pea revisits one of her earliest videos — "Dare the Pea" — filmed when her channel was only a month old. At each subscriber milestone, she used to invite viewers to submit dares and perform them on camera. This rewind covers the three dares she attempted after hitting her 1,000-subscriber mark (which quickly became 2,000), complete with new commentary about what was happening behind the scenes.

The origin of Dare the Pea ​

• Pea decided from the start she wouldn't copy what other creators were doing — she wanted unique content
• "Dare the Pea" was born from that philosophy: no one else was doing viewer-submitted dares in the Filipino expat space
• She hit 1,000 subscribers but before dares could even be submitted, she'd already reached 2,000
• She got "a lot of naughty suggestions" but claims she ignored those — then adds "Or did I?"

Dare #1: Catch the rooster (submitted by Tuland Fool) ​

• Viewers had been complaining about a rooster audible in the background of her early videos
• The rooster belonged to her next-door neighbor and was constantly messing up her audio
• This was Pea's very first outdoor/out-and-about video — everything prior had been filmed indoors
• She chased the rooster through her neighbor's property, crashing through branches and struggling to catch it
• She eventually caught it and mock-interrogated it on camera about "wasting hundreds of hours of my time"
• Behind-the-scenes detail: viewers always wondered who was filming — it was one of her two female roommates, not a guy, despite the camera frequently catching close-up shots of Pea's butt (the roommate was just trying to keep up and avoid getting hit by branches)

Dare #2: Cut open and prepare a coconut (submitted by Darren Hayden) ​

• Pea used a brown/mature coconut rather than a green one because she planned to extract coconut meat and milk for cooking
• She explained the difference: green coconuts are for drinking the water/juice, brown mature ones are for the meat and milk used in cooking
• She made the mistake of borrowing her neighbor's machete without asking him to sharpen it first, which made the whole process look much harder than it should have been
• She claims she can normally "buzz right through a coconut in about 10 seconds" with a sharp machete, especially a green one
• She demonstrated the full process: removing the husk, cracking the shell, tasting the juice (which she declared sweet with "vitamin P"), and showing the coconut meat that would be grated and squeezed for milk
• The running gag: before starting, she said "if I cut off my hand and bleed to death — Mom, give all my stuff to my little brothers, and please don't look in the drawer by my bed"
• This "drawer by my bed" comment became a running joke for over a year, with viewers constantly pestering her about what was hidden in there — she never revealed it
• Suggested she might tell "someday"

Dare #3: Pick up a coin with bare feet and drop it in a cup (submitted by Candi Balantad) ​

• Pea noted Filipinos are known for using their feet to pick things up
• She acknowledged her "long monkey toes" as an advantage — "it's almost like having another set of hands"
• Despite the supposed advantage, it was surprisingly difficult because both the tile floor and the peso coin were smooth and flat
• She struggled through multiple attempts, flipping the coin different ways, before finally getting it between her toes
• Then she had to hop to the cup while holding the coin — couldn't see the cup while looking down at her foot
• She eventually succeeded after a suspenseful wobbling sequence

Post-video callback gag ​

• Pea revisits the "drawer" joke: her mom apparently did look in the drawer
• She makes excuses for the items found: "That's for massaging my sore neck" and "Those are just leftover balloons from Gia's birthday party"
• Teases that "Dare the Pea 2" will feature "something that's literally death-defying"

Rewind context ​

• This is part of Pea's "Rewind Tuesday" series where she replays old content with new commentary
• Her roommate Jelia filmed the entire dare video, taking an entire day to complete it
• She promises the next Friday episode will feature "more interviews with Filipinas" — something viewers had been requesting
