Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith responded to a challenge from Steve Gleason in a new video.
“This is Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, this is for you Steve. The ironic thing is I don’t like Chili Peppers, I’m not a fan of a hot pepper. I’m calling out my buddies Will Ferrell and Mike McCready to do the same.”
He then ate the red hot chili pepper and seemed disgusted.
Smith also tweeted, “Steve Gleason I (reluctantly) accept your #ALSPepperChallenge @ALSTDI has raised over $500K thru the challenge. I challenge you @MikeMcCreadyPJ & Will Ferrell @funnyordie to do the same! @TeamGleason.”
