“Add the ice, and then fill it with a little wourder. And make a real fancy thing called ice wourder.”

Thanks for the pro tip Brad.

I had no idea Gabby started off as a kitchen assistant and now she’s got her own segments on BA videos and that makes me so happy :’)

[NRoque]

I liked how he used a wooden spoon to take the cream out of the jar and then a flexible spatula to try to squeeze the liquid out of the butter lol

[hopenilsen]

im laughing so much because i clicked on the kombucha video, dropped my phone, caught it, must have clicked on this video in the process, and THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT THIS WAS STILL THE KOMBUCHA VIDEO

[s_lee]

Those sound effects always make me think he actually broke something and then I remember it's not real and laugh at myself

[PMlatso]

Brad talking to Vinny instead of the camera/ audience. And the crazy editing. Man, This show was SOMETHING in its infancy. I love this series so much. and everyone involved

[michellelee]

the most wonderful thing is when he realizes that cream is... wait for it... cream-colored

[destinyl]

Brad: all pasteurized is pasteurized at the end of the day
Claire: :O
Brad: well put Claire

[mitchjackson]

[clairejoycooks]

Big up to the editors - they got a sense of humor alright

[SpeakOut]

[DerBlutenPat]

the editor has a great sense of humor that matches Brad's personality very well.

I've subscribed to BA because of Brad. And I love Brad/Claire collabs.

[clairejoycooks]

I'm literally binge watching Brad's episodes - he's bloody brilliant!

[KasranFox]

I like how well-spoken Vinny is. Really has a way with words, that Vin.

[kieratheresa]

I've been binge watching these and just now realized that the editor edits the sound when Brad shakes things 😂 I'm over here thinking he could be performing jingle bells with those jars!

Gabby did well from kitchen assistant to manager

In India, with its warm weather the cream gets cultured in good 6 to 8 hours.. and the residual yogurty buttermilk is also not wasted. Add salt and cumin powder and it becomes a yogurt drink.
