Smallest People in World: Bri and Brad Jordan

[niceboosai]

I like that bracelet Brad is wearing around his neck.

[dimlight49]

What happens when you give them helium?

[slohnd42]

I feel for the mom,she has an incredible fortitude to deal with not just one but two children of special needs! grew up with a brother who was born with Cerbral Palsey so I have a bit of an Idea how she feels sometimes.when I saw the pic of her holding those two tiny children I thought how young she looks (easy to forget they are teenagers now) I wish them all the best and hope they live long and fulfilling lives! God bless them all!

[amyyyamy]

"did she know she would have a period?" ... well her BRAIN is developed!! how would she not know that???

[toofastforlove22]

LOL at these fuckin midgets. should be put down

[stanleythedoogle]

@toofastforlove22 HAHAHAHAHA+1

[IndividualParties]

lol, i think she will be adopting all her kids.

1) no body would fuck a primordial dwarf

2) she's too small to fit a baby, since she's not much bigger than a baby

3) no body would fuck a primordial dwarf.

[123stroheim]

@IndividualParties shame

[IsaacRidesBentleigh]

is the girl a chipmunk in any way?

[ladyfab1234]

@IsaacRidesBentleigh no ..........considering the dwarfism is very small that the vioce is going to be high but very small cuz of how much she wayz and how small the bonez really iz so it effectz her!!

[qwexas]

It sounds like Bri is wheezing. Why might that be? I didn't hear Brad wheezing, so is it not connected to the dwarfism?

[shrinkvid]

@qwexas From the littlejordansprimordialworld site: "Bridgette has a tracheotomy that was placed at 6 months of age. She was unable to speak until she had reconstructive surgery. Speech is no longer the problem. Her size is significantly smaller than Brad’s so keeping up when walking is hard work. She has scoliosis, knee and hip abnormalities. Bri wears glasses and dentures. NONE of the this slows her down" So the tracheotomy or some kind of cond. may cause the wheezing...?

[Treylogan218BR]

what shitty way to livee

[qwexas]

Reach would be another challenge. I know they can climb stools, but that only works to reach stationary objects. They couldn't be goalies or wide receivers. Catching falling objects would be harder. Pouring a gallon of milk would be very different. Small hands would be very inconvenient. It might take 2 hands to drink from a 1-liter bottle, whereas a larger person could drink from a 2-liter with 1 hand. Imagine playing baseball with a watermelon. Things we don't think of would be challenging.

[shrinkvid]

@qwexas Yes--I used to talk to someone on yahoo messenger who was 3'6" and about 30 pounds. He told me it was tough to cut meat--needed strong hands, and his younger siblings "eat more than double what I do. But they're still growing". He was 19 at the time and said his 11 yr old bro would lift him up and throw him on the bed--a younger brother 1.5 ft taller and 3 times heavier. Imagine being 19 and having younger siblings not only bigger than you now but still growing, while he isn't

[qwexas]

Cont'd: The amount of force in an axe when it hits the log is enough to life Bri or Brad off the ground. Without a heavy body, the axe (if it can come down with enough force) would vibrate & bounce off. Changing a tire would be an ordeal. It takes weight behind a tire iron to loosen lug nuts. It takes weight & height to lean back & get the spare out of the trunk. Someone so small couldn't kick/stomp to break things into smaller pieces. Much manual labor would be too hard, if not impossible.

[shrinkvid]

@qwexas I talked with another dwarf (proportional but not nec. primordial) 3'6', about 40 pounds, who said he sometimes helps sweep up at his house and they cut the broom down a bit (taller than he was?) to make it easier. Brad is said to be pretty muscular for his size--all that climbing as a younger kid. A gymnast, but not as strong as avg sized people of course. People like Kristen Riley (40", 36 pounds at 25) can do some things with adaptation, even drive, but strength (lack of) an obstacle

[qwexas]

@shrinkvid What about walking? A short guy (not a "little person", just a guy who is short) told me that he has trouble keeping up when he walks with a tall friend because he has to hurry to take more steps to cover the same distance. Someone Bri's size would need to take a several times as many steps to cover the same distance, and walking with a tall person move fast, almost running. Do you know if they have trouble finding the energy to do all that walking? Is it exhausting?

[shrinkvid]

@qwexas @qwexas Yes it would be tough--one proportional dwf told me "I'm very close with kids but sometimes it's hard because I can't keep up with them. Especially my youngest sister wants to play all the time with me. She wants to play soccer, hide and seek, wrestle, all very energetic games. She doesn't understand that someone with short legs like me gets tired much sooner!" Another told me "nearly every kid we meet is taller than me" (in his 30s, 3'6")

[qwexas]

What's it like to be a primordial dwarf? My guess is difficult to do manual labor. I can't count the times I've used the weight of my body to move something, or stop something in motion, & used height for leverage. Try using post-hole diggers to see what I mean. My dad's axe is as long as Brad. A tall body & long arms give me the mechanical advantage to split wood. That's why it's so long. A dwarf would need much more strength for the same task due to physics.

[qwexas]

Comments on videos about the Jordans are so positive. I'm accustomed to profanity with occasional threats. It's nice seeing the respect on these vids, but it seems extreme with all the praise and optimism, maybe unrealistic. As much as we hate to admit this, we judge based on appearance. They're so cute I can't help but adore them, even though if their brains were transplanted into average bodies, I'm sure I wouldn't find them much more adorable than I do average people.

[whitewasp]

--how old is Brad now?------I hope he found himself a girlfriend------it's neat to freeze this video at 4:54 to 4:56 to see how he only comes up to a girl's butt----it could come in handy being small like that sometimes----

[shrinkvid]

@whitewasp hi, according to the family site littlejordansprimordialworld "Bradley was born 7/11/91" so he'll turn 20 this July.

[luvgymnast517926]

4:10 "I can do whatever I want" I like that kids ;)

[LisaJerryA]

I go to college with her and she is AMAZING!

[kellie1219]

NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE ANY BODY!! I THINK THESE TWO KIDS ARE VERY BRAVE FOR DOING THIS INTERVIEW. IT'S NOT EASY TO GO IN FRONT OF THE PUBLIC EYE, AND TELL YOUR BUSINESS. SO WHOEVER HAS ANYTHING MEAN TO SAY ABOUT THESE TO KIDS OR ANYONE ELSE WITH A DISABLITY..THINK ABOUT THIS....IT COULD BE YOU , OR SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY!! IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOMETHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY IT AT ALL!!

[luvgymnast517926]

I loved it when Bradley said "I can do whatever I want" because he's right, he can!

[JustAPrayer]

Poor kids. Imagine, a regular sized baby is already really fragile. To be born that small must be really difficult for the parents.

[ksluv09]

"Well she's mean to me..." I'm glad he thinks it's cool and not depressing,

[Euroliite]

4:10 LOL

[whitewasp]

----does anybody know Brad personally?

[maddie10051]

i know them personally! their cousin goes to my school....and bri was at her cousins 8th grade graduation and i met her there!, she was 19 at the time! :)

[whitewasp]

----and freeze-frame it at 3:47 also----he headed straight for that girl in the black ----(and how can you blame him?)----

[whitewasp]

---I like to freeze it at 4:54 and imagine what it'd be like to be that short and standing next to a girl-----(especially neat if you'd be at a swimming pool).-----

[keithcry]

they sound like fred

[juancamex]

I really and truly admire this people. Sometimes i complain about stupid things in my life and when i think of them i tell myself "Shut up your stupid trash" . Thank you guys for being such inspiration for me. GOD BLESS YOU. And you will always be my idols.

[starladustangel]

I would worry about her giving birth because of her tiny size. Even if she marries another dwarf there's no guaruntee that a child would be a dwarf. Look at the Roloff family and their three average size children.

[qwexas]

@starladustangel I saw your comment and was inspired to google "heaviest newborn". The top result was Dailymail's news site. Weights in pounds: 19, 15, 23, 22, 16. In those extreme cases the babies are Bri's size. Babies are usually 6-9 pounds at birth. If Bri has an average baby, it would be like a 140-pound woman having a 50-pound baby. It sounds dangerous. I don't think she could have a pregnancy last anywhere near long enough to give birth to an average-size or larger baby.

[BootyFister]

@starladustangel BUT SHE CAN ALWAYS ADOPT.

[cork705]

I saw him at aau too.

[BHAERIALS]

Just saw Bradly compete this week at the AAU Tramp & Tumbling Nationals.  He is an inspiration. He is now 18 years old.

[ctba452]

i hope Bri is a nickname

[jtslady87]

Bri seems so sweet, and so does Brad!!

[jtslady87]

Yeah...right

[sabbyful]

I know this is going to sound horrible, but for the sake of the child's safety, Bri should not have four children. How will she care for them or even carry them? Only if she marries an average size man will someone be able to care for them and even then all the responsibility will be on him.

[upinflamezzz]

Bri will not have children unless a surrogate is used. Her body could not sustain it. A pregnancy would kill her.

[actionist2009]

dont worry, i dont even think a sperm cell could fit up in there

[dryclean007]

wow... way to end the video. the last sentence made me cry laughing!

[maddie10051]

i live in illinois, and i know her. her cousin goes to my school. I saw her and kind of talked to her. she is about 19 now and she has her mind set on going to college. she is just as smart as any 19 year old.

[shrinkvid]

ah good! there are updates on them at littlejordansprimordialworld site

[KAIKALAI]

are they retarded too, or just really small

[shrinkvid]

Some primordial dwarves may be slow learners etc but if you saw the special you'd see they're pretty normal intelligence-wise.

[zanzibarx123x]

Do you honestly think that their height could affect their intelligence?

[farleyriver]

bri is so nice

[jjprip4ever]

bri is so cute. I love her! Brad I want you to be my friend. Love Kaylin ( I am six years old)

[rattgroupie]

That baby copped a feel at 1:28

[MysticalNekochan]

I think it's great that Brad has that mind set. That he can do anything he wants. Because he can. All he has to do is want it and go for it. To hell with anyone who thinks he can't

[efb91]

Absolutely, MysticalNekochan. Absolutely. You're the only person on YouTube who's ever said anything I've agreed with.
