Viral presidential candidate (yes, this is where we are as a society) Deez Nuts is making headlines as the 15-year-old Iowa kid (real name Brady Olson) currently polling at 9 percent in North Carolina, 7 percent in Iowa and 8 percent in Minnesota, according to Public Policy Polling.
Deez Nuts busted onto the scene thanks to his cheeky name and his some-of-both-sides politics (he's against illegal immigrants but for gay marriage).
The "deez nuts" joke is more familiar to kids his age through references on Adult Swim's The Boondocks, a viral People's Court clip and various Vine jokes. But the true origin of Deez Nuts traces back much further -- eight years before this high school sophomore was born, in fact.
