Brad and Matty Matheson Go Noodling for Catfish Part 1 | It's Alive | Bon Appétit
Matty is the only one in this video with an appropriate sense of his own mortality.
I know, right?? Why would anyone want to catch fish this way?
@@basstrammel1322 probably thought up by poor people way back without many resources, don't need any equipment, boats, or bait to just jump in and hope a fish bites your foot.
@@HeavyMetalMike Yes, but why would anyone keep doing it today?
@@basstrammel1322 dunno, but it's entertaining to watch, lol
Having a sense of one’s mortality doesn’t ensure survival. In fact if you were too scared to live this way it stands that you’d die if you needed to fish this way.
The most surreal thing about this episode is Matty Matheson being the voice of reason.
Batshit crazy Matty Matheson.
The voice of reason.
Mister Turk Turkle 😂😂😂 I've watched this 3 times and it's funnier every time. Matty screaming in the water!! I can't get enough!!
exactly xD
I laughed so hard lol :)))))
Brad god someone to sync his energy with and Marty faced a peril bigger than himself so decided to back off.
ah turkleton
I come back to this video at least once every month just to feel something
Gurl same
Literally I’ll be bored and be like “ya know what would help”
Same
Absolutely same
I come back to remember when BA was at its peak.

Skipper was an imaginary character - I refuse to believe he was real. Perhaps this is all one big fever dream.
"All the people who have survived this trip have *thoroughly* enjoyed it."
_walks off_
He sounds like people that live near me
Esther Park HAHAHAHAH
Pretty standard okie. Y'all will never understand why, but damn that's a great state
@@metumartyr3983 It's a great state when it's not being blown away by F5 tornadoes.
Sometimes I forget Brad is like.. A professional chef.
I think we all do, and that's why I love him so much
Brad's a professional chef?!
he didnt go to culinary school and im pretty sure he was a dishwasher and ordered supplies before its alive
@@VIXEN-nw4yu he went to culinary school (confirmed on his wiki and the it's alive EP w babish) and was actually the manager of the ba test kitchen before being a personality
VIXEN lmfao
We should write Matty and thank him personally for doing this episode. I watch it like twice a month
At least right?
Agree! I like a lot of BA videos, and this has got to be one of their best videos of all time. Matty + Brad + adventures = madcap hijinks
Can we all just recognize that Skip was the true star of this show?
This was by far the funniest thing BA has ever produced. Matty getting hit by a catfish and Brad terrified of spiders. This video is gold, pure insanity wrapped in gold.
I was laughing the entire time - best video ever
Agreed! Im cryin laughin at this! I live in oklahoma and There are many characters like Skip!
I completely agree!
Really good editing to.
^^This
Matty, covered in tattoos: “I have sensitive TOES!!!”
32:23 As you can see, you can bet that he ain't gonna get caught with tattoos on his toes.😂😂😂😂😊
just like most people with tats, its all a facade lol
@@johndowe7003 not modern tattoos. The real tribal ones hurt. Like in the Philippines, where they use the thorn of a pomelo plant and charcoal to hammer in the ink. That was 40 hours of pain I will wear for the rest of my life.
@@scottwpilgrim well technology has advanced since then and we have better methods than that now
@@TheBigQQ69420 Matty is/was a punk. Planning out tattoos wasn't a priority when he was high on coke and a raving alcoholic. He's a a lot happier these days, sober, married and a Dad!
The fish lying on Mattys belly like he just birthed it 😂😂😂😂
“Could you make me, some chocolate covered grass hoppers?”
“Yeah I’ll make you anything. Whatever you want.” 😂😂😂
Matty: tattooed head to toe, even his neck
Also Matty: traumatized by 2 minute walk on rocks
He's got sensitive toes, man.
How does this have 1 comment
this is so random but if i see an injection needle or a needle taking my blood... i really dont even know how to explain i just hate it and i freak
chey cat where?
@@xx_depressed_lilies_xx4281 Where what?? i just said i do not like injections needles and i only see them at the hospital lol! idk what kinda question that was LOL
If this doesn't spawn a "Adventures with Brad and Matty" spinoff... then I don't wanna be on this planet anymore.
Hello? Netflix?
they're like your two adorable dads that swear a lot
What about Skip?!
Right so fun
Hands down a good idea but one more suggestion, can skip come too?

“mary holding the baby jesus” (4BC, colorized)
Underrated comment!!!
excuse me.... “BC”? 😭
@@deripfina ashdhhdhsjjs i know nothing about time
4 years later and this still makes me laugh af. Matty and Brad are just excellent
Official request to Hunzi and the production team to release the Noodling Bloopers.
Thank you,
The audience
PLEASEEEEEE
This whole things is bloopers
This whole video is a blooper
Noopers
Yes!!!!
the way Brad got in the water confirms he is a golden retriever
hes the goodest boye
oh mama!
What kind of dog is Matty?
Kailey Mo Becker a really fricken happy pitbull mix
@@kaileymo a pug.
Confused, scared, and totally out of his element. But, doing it anyway.
*Because he said he would.*
Bon appetit, please never take this video down. I watch this whenever I need to be reminded of what true joy feels like.
Meeee toooooo
Skipper gotta be my favorite human of all time “you gotta get underwater brad” right after he goes in skip goes “ I pee all the time in the river” lmaooo
Matty is just the one guy in a horror movie with any common sense
666 likes, nice
"Could you cook me some chocolate covered grasshoppers?"
Matty- "oh sure, just get me outta here"
Brad and skip catching that first catfish was like a weird, southern version of that pottery scene from ghost...
Thank you! I was going to make that exact same comment 😂
"Oooooh, my looove. My darlin'...."
All that talk about holes and putting your members in them got me all hot and bothered wooh
Thank you guys for this thread😭😂
16:43
Brad’s voice went full southern in that crick
Matty be like "how do we transport the fish when we've caught it? We fish a line through its lip and we walk it like a pet?!" and when he caught a fish he proceeds to handle it like his own child, literally pats it on the head and wait for the fish to catch up while walking the fish.
39 minutes of Matty Matheson having a mental breakdown
Comment I was waiting for
39 minutes of Brad being a maniac
@@abidelhado6756 Post Malone let himself go
Skippers that uncle that the parents hate, but the kids love
@@Thabzzz That's not cool
That Uncle that parents hate and kids fear.
_The perfect uncle._
Skipper is my actual uncle. Can verify
Chip Greene right please do then
23:45 When Matty says “I wannnnt it skipper” I’m over here cackling 😂🙈
I love how the ball busting started on the second skip started talking and Brad just naturally joined in, matty taking it seriously makes it that much better.
Matty playing the role of "petrified Canadian thrust into rural Oklahoma" really adds a certain je ne sais quoi
Is he french canadian lol.
Imma just pretend like I know what that means
@@joeseward9466 You should watch his series about Canada. He's most definitely not French Canadian.
@@escapist83 i know lol i was making a joke because the commentor said a french phrase.
the french letters mean idk what.
It's Alive Hawai'i: Spiritual experience, thanking the fish, etc.
It's Alive Oklahoma: Let's give the catfish names and walk them like pets.
Daniel López LOL I was thinking the same thing
Dead
That’s Oklahoma for you
Skip occupies the same level of charm and mystery as bigfoot in my mind, they probably drink beers together
This is purely legendary, I come back about every 6 months and re watch part 1 and 2. Gets better every time. 100% masterpiece. CRICK
At first I was thinking "this is the guy they got to represent the great state of Oklahoma??" Then the video progressed and I realized this man is the physical embodiment of Oklahoma.
As a native midwesterner, Skipper is great and reminds me of a lot of farmers, blue collar workers, or general down home sort of folk. The phraseology and the humor are spot on for the midwest. Seems like a good dude.
I was worried too man, all things considered, not bad.
As an Okie, I think he was the best representative
From Oklahoma, this guy is practically my dad.

I think Bon Appetit has stumbled on a whole new genre of mortally terrifying but weirdly homoerotic rural adventurism videos.
bro is it not inherintly homoerotic to go on a rural adventure with your bros.....
@@simondarrow4688 next they're gonna say good night BJs are gay smh my head
@@ts-wo6pp .......which one😂
Fellas is it gay to go on a mortally terrifying but weirdly homoerotic rural adventure with your bros?
agggreeeeeeeeeeeed!!!
8:00 Why's everything WHOOM and BOOM?!
I'm proud of Matty for actually holding the fish, he was so afraid the whole time but he did it!
Brad is giving birth and Skip is the midwife. Matty is the husband that doesn’t know what to do
The Girl Who Wears Pants perfect commentary. Couldn’t have said it any better 13:35
😂😂😂
You, my friend, should write the summaries on the inside of book jackets. Best summation ever.
Matty is a gentle soul who did not think this through.
Brad is a monster person who thought about this ahead of time for way too long.
It’s... it’s a perfect match.
Wow. When Matty is the calm, thoughtful reasonable one...
Skip is the man! Watching him torment those guys like they were his own kids was fantastic!
Matty and Brad need a show together. It’s like the only two brain cells left and they’re both on full throttle and Brad just continuously making Matty do crazy stuff
Brad and Skipper are agents of Chaos and Matt is just trying his best to survive
I bet Matty never once dreamed he'd ever be considered the orderly one in a group.
I thought Matty was complaining too much about Skip poking him with the stick until i saw the big ol fresh scrape on Ezekiels back. He took that spear suggestion a little too seriously, Skipper is hardcore
Def some chaotic neutral going on
Haha
hahaha poor Matt, he really is ^^
Next video: "Matty and Brad make a really nice cake in an air conditioned bakery"
Would still watcht tbh hahahha
featuring Clair Saffitz
Miso cake?
Bruh watching matty having a nervous breakdown breaking down noodling in the middle of brads struggle of trying to catch a catfish is just juice for life
not them traumatizing matty before they even touched the water
Matty representing a sane person in an undeniably insane situation
Was just gonna say :P
You think this is insane?
MATTY WANTS TO MAKE CAKE? MATTY AND CLAIRE COLLAB PLEASE
BA MAKE THIS HAPPEN PLEASEEEEEEEEEEE
Make it a month of Matty and have him work with everyone at BA individually lol
only in ryan reynolds heart
Take Claire noodling lol
Brads gotta be in the back sad
‘’matty is MY buddy’’
This made me belly laugh harder than I have in a long time. Kudos to Brad and Matty for make some of the best content on youtube.
To this day, this is still one of the best videos on CZcams
Brad and Matty need an actual show where they go do wild stuff like this regularly. This is one of the best CZcams videos I've seen in years.
AGREED! kinda like the show "wild boys" with Steve-O....but this is sooo much funnier
YESSS couldnt agree more
Skip made this video! He was the most entertaining of them all!
@@dr.doppeldecker3832 he was such a classic legend.
💯
Theyre actually the best duo brad just blindly excited and matty is terrified and over thinking
Brad is a golden retriever
Matty is a chihuahua
fukn comedy gold.
No, no not overthinking just thinking! I would be Matty in this situation.
I'm so impressed with brad and how he knew so much of the wildlife that you may run into in a canal/river. I grew up on a farm in the south and this is what we did for fun.
I love how it just zooms on Mattys face every time that brad says a new animal that could kill them and then the killer music 😂
Hey I think Matty and Brad should go tuna fishing in antarctica.
BRING SKIP!!!!!!!!
The people have spoken Bon Appetit! Tuna fishing in Antarctica it is!
Seconded
Ya see, and that's exactly why you should

I also think that’s a good idea
“my toes are sensitive i’ve always been sensitive about my toes-“
this episode is a masterpiece
Brad goes under the water
"I pee a lot when I'm in the water"
I can't believe Matty and Brad are going to go bare-knuckle box grizzly bears next year.
While cooking salmon.... Got to keep it food related
Julia Wolf oh they’ll eat the bear
Even crazier they’ll be blindfolded
brad was in his element here, he finally found his people
arseniccalibrator crazy is as crazy does
he's in his natural habitat: wourder
OKLAHOMANS: We are crazy fun!!!
Skip is literally crazy and Matty is so scared, it’s a perfect duo 😂
Skipper messing with Matty kills me every time. So many quotable moments.
Honestly, props to the camera team for holding the camera steady while I assume dying of laughter on the inside

Matty Matheson, my guy.
Missing the old BA crew. 2021 and they still deserve better.
Brad: "Sometimes you have to break outside of your comfort zone."
Matty: "I'm broke"!
Next: Skydiving for hand-caught geese
HAHA
Yes!
ba ha ha!
I like it.
Everyone: don’t grab anything on the bank it could be a snake
Matty: 👁👄👁
How does this have 2k likes and no replies? Well I’ll be the first... 🤣🤣🤣

@@tannerdavis8163 There is simply nothing to add to that perfection :D
The way Matty says "Skipper!" Throughout this whole thing gives me life.
Can we get the boys back together?! I need more of this duo in my life ✌️ ❤️
“Would you call yourself a chef?”
“I don’t even know what I am anymore.”
If I’m in a bad mood I just watch this.
Brad, Matty, and skip are the best trio
31:08 THAT escalated quickly lol. Matty's screaming and Brad's laughter makes it better
Brad’s laugh, matty’s genuine fear, the video crew trying to cope somehow, skipper just enjoying himself...
Now THIS is quality content! :D More of this please!
Matty is hilarious, for a man with so many tattoos he seems so damn scared haha
31:21 skin to skin contact is a very important bonding time between mother and baby
Girl I screAMED I thought it was about the whole "I wasn't allowed to touch my mother's foot" situation.
I'm screaming!
Brad is incredibly attractive. It’s like he has no fear 😂
“FIGHT THE BEAVER, WIN THE HOLE” needs to be a shirt. 🤣
Brad is the perfect big brother and Matty is the ultimate little brother.
Weirdly accurate lol
this is basically a golden retriever and a gentle pitbull go noodling. maybe my favorite It's Alive episode!!
This jumps right to number 2 for me. I love Matty and Brad is at his best here, but for me nothing will beat Alaskan Crabbing part 2, with Brad on the Bay

Love how Brad has zero problems sticking 3/4 of his body blindly into some underwater hole but totally loses it when he sees a spider

There is something so satisfying about noodling. It connects you to your humanity in a way few things can. Another thing to do that will fill you with so much self worth and touching you spiritually is learning to make fire.

I honestly have been cry laughing at this exact moment for 10 minutes. I can’t stop laughing Lmfaooo 😂

Honestly can't remember how many times I've watched this. Never gets old.
Matty is that person with any common sense that gets dragged into terrible situations by his stupid friends lmao favorite episode by far
Camera man, thank you for panning back to matty each time. I couldn't breathe. 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀😫😫😫😫
Can Brad and Matt pleeeease do more videos together? Best pairing ever!
i come back and watch this once a year. I wish they continued doing crazy adventures like this because this is hands down one of the funniest videos i’ve ever seen to this day.
I started crying when skip said "the fish fights the beaver and wins the hole" I'm dead LMFAO skip needs his own show
Joe Mamma he does.
He did have his own TV show lmao
But these 3 together is perfect
He's spitting straight facts
I would have laughed but I'm supposed to be sleeping so I'm just crying
This is basically the pilot episode of a Discovery Channel show
Probably better than any discovery show on rn
Yeah but it would actually be good for once
It was a Discovery show, look up hillbilly handfishing
