We tried a different editing style with this one, and I think it turned out beautifully! Hope you enjoy 🤍

Deb never knew her tombstone recipe would blow up like this I live

[charlottejarrett]

The emotional whiplash of going from Shrek themed candid competition to this cheesy wholesomeness is something only Zach would be able to pull off

[mpayy]

Zach as an investigative journalist who only covers random weird stuff is a win.

[LbsterTil]

I love how they label Rachel travel buddy and not unwilling hostage

[michellehunt]

I thought i was in for a goofy silly video, i did not expect to be sobbing over this midwest mom's mishmashed recipe book and all the lives she touched in her community. It made me think of my own midwest mom, who totally has a binder that looks just like Deb's recipe "book." Filled with recipes she's collected over the years from food boxes, websites, friends, and family. Now I'm wondering what recipe my sisters and i would choose to immortalize for her. Thanks for this one, Zach. I'd love to watch more videos like this.

[x_MirariM_x]

There are two types of Zach videos:

1. A funny yet poignant reflection on the meaning of death and the significance of legacy, framed through a charming story about one woman's locally famous cheese dip recipe

2. haha big shrek booty go brrrr

[olliepop]

This is not Try Guys. This is a documentary. Zach, you've outdone yourself. My mom died a few years ago, and we keep her recipes too. This reallyvgot me.

[MarieGoos]

I love that this video highlighted the creator who'd been investigating this topic and then focused in on a local community and one person's impact there. It was very thoughtful and respectful, still with a little humor. I laughed, I cried, I craved cheese.

Denison resident and friend of Debs:
Deb was the STAR of our local High School/Community production of Wizard of Oz a few years ago.
She delivered an Oscar Worthy performance! She was a swim instructor and taught hundreds of kids to swim. She was a local radio celebrity. She was involved with Boy Scouting for years. She raised two really good kids too.
Thank you for doing such a good job with her story. It was told with class and compassion. Had me in tears more than once. Thanks for sharing Deb's humor, spirit and her love of life in such a sincere way.
Rest in Peace Deb❤😂
Ps, Great Job Kate!❤

The times where Zach’s edges of being “a goofy little guy” and “an incredibly talented creative” meet are always my favorite!!

[bakoyma]

Deb Nelson's cheese dip will now be made in Oslo, Norway. I think that's pretty cool, Debbie <3

[TheDiplomancer]

This is why I love things like this. Recipes on tombstones where you know the person said "You can have this recipe over my dead body." Or jokes like, "I told you I was sick." Cemeteries shouldn't be places where we dump our loved ones and never come back. They shouldn't be places barred from the public to just walk through on a nice day. This is how you remember and honor the dead. The section where you make the dip is a perfect encapsulation of that. You cook like Deb when you make her recipes. And it might be the most simple, middle-America, midwest cheese dip I ever saw, but that doesn't make it any less special.

[kritichhibber]

ive said it before, ill say it again: the way zach makes videos, its phenomenal. id watch this ENTIRE series in a heartbeat, and i love how zach tells stories, and incorporates love, wholesomeness, and fun into all of them.
if any of the try guys videos deserve to be turned into a series, then this one comes out on top.

[MaybeMockingbird]

As a funeral professional and an author who often writes stories about death, funerals, and the industry, I really appreciate videos like this that help break the stigma around funerals and death. There really is an aversion to it in western culture so stuff like this is IMMENSELY important. We all pass on, it’s part of life, and the things we leave behind on our tombstones, in the obituaries and life lessons we share help ease those pains for our loved ones. The things I’ve learned and have been gifted by the families I’ve worked with are life changing and I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

[CarpeFreakingDiem]

It’s nice that Zach gets to travel to exotic places like Iowa this year, good for him

Red Lantern Cheese Dip

(Must wear apron, must have dish towel over your shoulder at all times)

1. Merkts Cheese Spread in the mixer
2. 1/4 cup (or two heaping tbsp) sour cream
3. 2 heaping tbsp mayonnaise
4. Minced onion (looks like 1 tbsp)
5. 1/2 tsp garlic powder
6. Whip it all up!
7. Generous bacon bits
8. Splash of milk

[christinaroberts]

I really love how Deb's daughter talks about her mom and her relationship with her mom post death. It's clear there was love and care in her parenting that prepared her kids to live and florish without her. I hope I can do the same for my kids

[shramanadasdutta]

Yes yes yes. More of Zach Zaching out please. Shame on the algorithm for underestimating this, if it is. From BF days of random guys trying random stuff, to this channel, the summer of 2019 and the crazy covid vids, and the autumn of 2022 too i suppose. This is what we have stuck around for. As a longtimer, i am happy with what i am seeing nowadays.

[saulithyia]

This should become a series, I love the background of the story and person behind the recipe on the gravestone. Honoring the memory of those who've passed and sharing a part of them with the world. Their spirits live on.
