The constant tension between engineer and farmer makes for great content. Tom follows the rules and knows process, while Matt just wings it.
My grandpa was a dairy farmer with an engineering degree. He made the most useful but sketchy equipment all the time.
Very reminiscent of the Odd Couple or Clarkson's Farm show.
Yin and Yang.
The actual difference between a farmer and an engineer, is that an engineer knows why it won't work, and a farmer makes it work anyway.
I can't believe he's an engineer... 15:19
Do the Bomby now, while it's summer. Better to do it before you need it than to realize you need it and it's not up to snuff. That also allows time in case of a wait for parts due to availability or having to have them custom made. It also seems like it'd be the most involved project you have right now. If you have to wait on parts, then you can fit some of the smaller projects while you wait.
I was thinking that same thing because it will be ready for the next snow season. If not the Bomby or even waiting waiting for parts, I was thinking the Samorri. They can wait for the larger stuff for the Banana and Morrvair when he gets the heavy wrecker back and the winter time.
I was thinking they should have done the Bombi last summer....
That was my thought too.
It's been on the verge of outright failure for about 2 years now, that seriously needs looking at soon. During the summer is when it needs to happen.
Agree- that's going to be a long and labor-intensive build. I still think the existing body ought to go away and build a new one out of a Greenbrier shell.
YES!...PLEASE DO A LONG SERIES ON YOU GUYS REPAIRING AND UPGRADING THE BOMBI! We LIKE snowcats, especially older, cool, upgraded, capable ones...they're interesting offroad wreckers for the snow, mud and winter.
MORR Crew...PLEASE do a long, detailed series of videos of you repairing, upgrading and (somewhat) testing the BOMBI! A lot of people have asked about it since winter ended, myself and friends and family included, because we want to see her get UPGRADED and fully COMPLETED before NEXT winter when you need her and start using her regularly again. Make her a long-ish video project, like but shorter than the ginormous, colossal, gargantuan, behemoth, World's LARGEST Off-Road Wrecker, and make her IMPRESSIVE as classic old snowcats go.
We will miss Lizzy not being around as much, because who doesn't love her attitude, demeanor and cheery face. But, happy to hear of the great life she is enjoying. Will she make a new channel??? The new projects will be great to watch and see what you guys come up with.
Nice to see Peanut supervising the forklift operator.
You can tell Matt & co. don’t have hernia or they would’ve used the forklift lift the axle😬 hurt me just watching lol
@@trickywoo5165 - I hear ya. I felt a twinge in my back.
@@trickywoo5165and all they had to do was put the forks over top of the axle and use ratchet straps or chains to hold it to the forks I guess Tom Tom has been hanging out with Matt to long his brain didn't work at that moment😂
Peanut has the best people
OSHA approved supervisor
Peanut is the perfect back seat driver, always happy to be moving and no comment on the driver's behavior.
Now this just has me thinking, if peanut could talk what would she say lol
And he is happy just go along even without victory pie 😂
I was waiting to see Peanut jump up on the rear rack of the bike to go for a ride. LOL
Happy dog indeed - loves to go for a ride, anything with wheels.
Make the Bombi a priority! Start now, because some of what it needs may have a long lead time (tracks, final drive.) Then you can be confident it will be ready next winter. You don't use it a lot, but when you need it, you need it!
Or get a set of tracks made for the off-road wrecker.
This
Lizzie's face smiles when she isn't even smiling...then she actually smiles and it's a SMILE THAT CAN BE SEEN FOR MILES! We all love her being on the MORR Team and in the videos...because she makes us SMILE!
A little cringe there chief.
@@freighter1097A bit. I agree. But c'mon. It's true. That girl has a contagious happy attitude (at least on camera. You never know who people _really_ are when they're not on camera).
Somebody came up with a way to use a drill for those long, sustained drill sessions that overheat tool and battery. They put a cord on one. They even made a bigger drill for heavy duty stuff. Pretty amazing. They say you can run them all day without stopping if needed. No batteries to burn up, no problems with thermal lockout. Amazing invention.
Matt, I'm here to tell you that Tomtom thinks you need to buy a lathe so he can make stuff like a line-boring tool for modifying an axle neatly and accurately.
That's what i thought. I mean it "worked", but there is no way those clearances are even.
And make spiral cut baloney sandwiches
As someone who's been involved with volunteer Search and Rescue for a long time, I love seeing Matt support his local team.
Lizzie looks happy and content on the horse. Wonderful she found love and the chance to do what she loves.
Matt, you are an Angel, for taking care of Ed.
When the main man needs something done you drop everything and make it happen...
I'm so envious of Lizzie, at her young age and doing what she's done for this channel and moving on to a dream life as a rancher. AMAZING! Would love to see a Lizzie channel of the ranch life.
That's what I was thinking too
I don't think lizzie is going anywhere lol. She just needs to help run the cattle.
I agree, she's an amazing Gal....
From what I recall, she has an Instagram account.
You guys are some thirsty SIMPS.
That was the most effective clickbait titles I have ever seen in my life. I was like, WHAT!?WHAT DID I MISS? SALVAGE!!!!???? Y'all got me, yall got me good.
This, has been an absolutely wonderful video!! Without a doubt. It’s sad to hear that Lizzie will only be around now and then. Matt’s right. “Lizzie has grown up.” And many of us that have been subscribing for sometime, have watched her grow up.
Weirdo
There is no faking a dogs love for a genuine person.
It’s great to see dogs comfortable in their work environment.
Dogs are truly mans best friend. Wanna test it out? Lock your dog in the trunk for an hour and lock your wife in the trunk for an hour, let each one out and the dog will jump out and wag his tail and still be happy to see you!! The wife,,,,,,not so much. LOL
@@warrenmichael918 Tried it once, not pretty!
Glad that Lizzy will still be with you as she adds a warmth to the channel. Love that you are going to do "major" upgrades to all the vehicles. That will be a lot of fun to watch. Always am amazed at the relationship and respect between you and Tom. You have a great channel filled with wonderful people.
Thank you for showing Lizzie and Ed so people stop worrying about them!
Only at MORR can you find a nuclear engineer making milkshakes with a drill press. Amazing.
For the worlds largest off road wrecker....have you considered using a single axle car dolly? Hook it to the hitch reciever, lift it with the winch and it'd keep vehicles from hitting the wrecker boom. It's also be handy for front wheel damage on vehicles.
That could work but I was thinking of the old double belt bumper lift.
Either way he needs something to keep the vehicle being rescued at a consistent position behind the WLORW.
I believe Rory commented on this before. The terrain is too rough.
Yes we would love to see a lot more of Lizzie life she is just like my wife was 30 plus years ago
@@Crewsy Mebbe a shock/spring inline welded to a short piece of driveshaft with mounting brackets at each end? It could attach to the wrecker tow hitch and strap onto the towed vehicle to push it away...
@@alangriggs4420While the terrain can be too rough, but there’s a reason why Rory often chooses Big Blue over Trailmater and it’s because Big Blue has a double belt bumper lift.
There will be times that using a bumper lift won’t be the right thing to do, but having the choice to use one is better than not having that choice.
I’ve mentioned before: as a retired firefighter and Safety Officer, a simple accountability system can be really helpful; especially when taking multiple vehicles into the field and working with others such as SAR and WCSO. It gives you at a glance, who is where, with what machinery and what responsibilities.
Add in a modular key box mount and a box for a customer keys: the box lives in the shop/office until you get a call out, then it goes into the primary vehicle (like Blue Steel) and just clips in, and is a visual reminder to get/keep/transfer the keys. It also establishes a secure chain of custody for the customer’s keys.
Painting the receptacle on the mount a bright color, like red, so it’s eye catching and in the adrenaline rush of a call and the pressures of trying to get everything together, it’s a simple, inexpensive and versatile solution with a visual reminder: like the dash lights that remind us to watch the temperature gauge and such. The box is transferred from the transport to the recovery vehicle when unloading. Again, the visual reminder makes remembering easier.
A couple strong magnets should make it easy to just grab and go with no fasteners to mess with, bolts to loose, pins to drop: just grab the handle, sharp tug and off you go!!
And then you hit a bump and loose the customers keys over a cliff.
@@atodaso1668 nope. Rare earth magnets will keep it firmly in place, and with a properly designed mount, it can be used as a grab bar. I’ve done it. Not difficult at all and they have a shop full of skilled fabricators to do it.
@@HickSquatch Yeah my rare earth magnet level never falls off...
Congratulations Lizzie on getting married!! Glad your not leaving!! Always Keep God first in everything you and your husband do!! God Bless!!
"That is a happy dog!" You had me right there. I'm watched over by a service dog, so any satisfied hound is a win in my book!
Peanut likes to ride, it doesn't matter what the vehicle is. :) Lizzy didn't get any milkshake and it showed in her face. lol Tom must be in his glory, Matt just asked for his vehicle to be "5S" organized! LOL
I am so happy to hear about Lizzies good luck, I hope she has eternal happiness.
Sad to see that Lizzy won't be around as much but it's great that she is doing more of what she wanted to begin with. Some things she is taking into her adventure is a set of guns she developed working on all the equipment and some welding expertise.
Best of luck in the future Lizzy!

Hi Nigel. As someone who has just changed their work life balance I wholeheartedly encourage and support your decision. Chasing views, chasing money, feeding algorithms it’s all a myth. Life has to be about what you enjoy. If a few people tag along with you and get something out of what you produce then that’s a bonus. I’m sure the community appreciate everything you have done and will do. Your passion will continue to shine through and that’s what encourages me the most.
Peanut rocks...so glad Lizzie is sticking around part time. So fun to watch the different "styles" of creating! LOVE!
Jefe nailed Robby's derby strut!
Sally’s milkshake brings all the gals and boys to the MORR yard 🎶
The years fly by and the kids grow up. Glad you are definitely taking the time to appreciate the ones around you. You are doing what you love and providing so much for so many people.
I’m a retired heavy equipment mechanic and it made my heart happy watching Matt wash parts in gasoline with bare hands. Did it that way forever and living a healthy old life. 👍
Agreed, too much PC BS these days, I survived 53 working years doing
things like handling explosives, tree clearing, deepsea trawling, mining and
operating heavy earthmoving gear mostly without wearing clowns clothes,
plastic hats and the like, and at 79 still reasonably mobile.
All you need is some common sense, not an inexperienced dummy in an
airconditioned office telling you how to be safe!
really weird thing to make you happy. Willingly exposing yourself to carcinogens when you don't have to isn't a great idea. It's good that you're healthy, but you're literally encouraging people to make bad decisions for their health.
Retired US Navy Aviation Machinists Mate. I too have been fortunate, as you have (my wife says it's a wonder I don't glow at night). Unfortunately I know of many others who have not been so lucky...many no longer with us. Take care, and count your good fortunes.
@@billbillinger2491 Heh, FC here, do you remember cleaning things off in PD-680? I remember chipping paint with the proper tool (aka a screwdriver) and jabbed my palm, washed it off in the PD-680 and didn't even leave a scar, and 25ish years later and I still don't have cancer, well, not from that.
@@igneousc'm 58 and started working on my own engine at 5 years old. Washed everything in gasoline without gloves. I haven't been sick in 40 years. I've never had the flu. I'm still racing dirt bikes and I'm still washing parts in gasoline without gloves. I also use gasoline to wash the grease off my hands. A couple of my friends used to say the same as you, they've already died.
I appreciate “Robby” and his presence in this video while holding a spray can.😂
Time to Brake Kleen and send it
Congratulations to Lizzy. Many happy years ahead for you both!
Had indeed been missing Lizzy and was afraid married life's responsibilities would take her away. Happy to know she's trying to strike a balance. Matt's Off-Road would not be the same without her.
I doubt we'll be seeing much of Lizzy anymore.
Matt, there is a reason why your numbers have increased in a short time. Behind the recovery work you're a very good story teller involving your crew and always giving them screen time as well as respect. Lizzy, don't stay away too much because these guy will end up looking at work rather than doing any. It was you who jumped in the water for the Nugget while all the guys were talking about their hair and hangnails.
Fell in the river ,. more like ,,she climbed that timber and it broke ,,Waist deep right there , was funny eh ,,
Love how what ever Matts driving Peanut is happy & im glad Sally's the new milkshake maker
Always good to have the Bannana around as a backup. You never know and you've put so much good work into it.
This is like the TV guide episode of MORR! Stoked for what's coming. :)
Matt and Toms chemistry is great. Y'all don't loose Lizzy she's the weld that keeps the parts in place. Clone Robbie needs to help Matt and Tom more often.
tom dumping the gear oil on the floor had me dieing. Matts like "how many times is that " and tom so sheepishly is like "Three".
After the talk about how bad it stunk I thought he was trying to pour some on Matts boot. I mean, that's what my buddies would do ...
I love tom’s engineering thinking and his honestly. They make a great teamwork.
Hey editing team, we've noticed how you're evolving in your editing techniques... it really shines through in the storytelling, music choice, cuts, etc. And - the updated equipment also is *chef's kiss*
At least part of that has got to be that they have different editors now. I agree, they are doing a good job.
short but sweet...it was nice to see Lizzy back
Jefe even has Robbies walk and hand gestures down! Hilarious!
Jefe's impersonation is so impressive it's a bit eerie actually. Jefe must not miss an episode? LOL
The Turbo on the SaMORRai should absolutely not get a question mark but an exclamation point. YAY-YEAH!!! Just like the MORRVAIR AND the BANANA. OH! And the Bomb-Bee. Makes the exhaust MORR quieter too. 😊
Sally makes shakes with fiber! (from the metal shavings). Oh, watch out for grape shakes, might have differential lube added ("smells like grape juice!') 😆
Peanut must be one of the most dedicated employee's working for Winder Towing, and especially the off-road parts!
Congratulations Lizzy! Glad we still get to see you around. Love seeing the maintenance and design changes. You folks have needed some organization in your rescue vehicles.
Awesome video, happy to see Ed, miss his weather reports. Hope he’s doing well and perhaps show up in more videos if he’s up to it.
Super fun getting to meet El Jeffe at bronco safari and he really is as genuine as he seems!
Matt and his crew are so patient with ed
You have to appreciate Matt being so open for new tools and technology without prejudice. 😁
Matt should be a hand model , Palmalive meets its maker lol . Dude wears t-shirts in arctic weather and grabs molten lava while welding lol
I work in a metal shop so using measuring tools to get accurate measurements is pretty nice. I'm with Tom on using the right tool for the job, and the new drill press looks very nice. But I also enjoy Matt's "just get it done quick" style. This is also a nice break from the recoveries, seeing some modifications get done to the ol trusty Banana is nice!
Congratulations Lizzie. We will miss your smiling face but we are happy to see you part time.
Man... I wish I had a buddy like you guys have. A good friend is a immeasurable treasure.
I’ve genuinely loved the Banana since the very beginning and still do. Work/recovery wise, the Morrvair has been a great swiss army knife workhorse for almost every job and probably should get first dibs on bringing it up to snuff. Second followed by the Banana and then the Samurai. The snow rig is definitely the biggest project in need of an overhaul. 😅
Yes...PLEASE revamp the Bombi, fix it, upgrade it, soup it up, make it super reliable and capable...and do it NOW instead of waiting too long into fall when the snow flies! Snowcats are COOL, interesting, fun to watch...most people don't have one, have never ridden in one or been involved in any kind of a rescue with one. We want to see you make IT into a winter version of an off-road wrecker that is a CAN-DO unit!
Congrats Lizzy! Just don't disappear completely. It was bad enough having to get used to Trevor being gone. We really don't want to lose you too.
yes indeed however shes a cowgirl at heart and if she goes towards that passion, bless her
Trevor-a-tor is missed.
Last video I was wondering about Trevor. Where is he anyway?
couldn't agree more! Losing LIzzy would be a tragedy!
@@dhag72 he made an appearance on Rudy's channel recently.
Just a perfect episode. 48 minutes of narrative momentum, Jamie. Tom is a natural. And that snap of Lizzie the bride and welder as a cowgirl brought a tear to my eye. You got a terrific team, Matt.
Weird flex
All good! 😂 Very cohesive group! 👍And, Congratulations, Lizzie! 🎉
I didn't even look at the 'time' for the video.I was lost in it.Who cares as long as it Them?
27 year fireman and also carpenter for ten years prior to that. Very diligent earplug wearer. It’s paid off. I’m 56 almost perfect hearing. Good job Tom Tom!!
Oooo, there is another Corvair in the back lot? Mmmmm...strawberries, ice cream, milk, malt, axle grease, metal filings, and motor oil... Morrvair maintenance list: it needs a potable water tank somewhere for the humans, both the crew and those you rescue, maybe tucked into a fender, or that cool compartment in the back. It also needs a safe place to transport a gas can, just as S.O.P. Sorry, but you guys are nuts to go as far into the desert as you do without 5 gallons of water and an extra 5 gallons of gas. That probably needs to be on the list for all of them.
Congratulations, Lizzie. I'm thrilled when I see young folks doing it the right way. May you have a long and happy life together.
What should you do first? Whatever it takes to keep the Morrvair operating until the heavy wrecker gets back. One vehicle has to be at top operating condition. Banana next, so you have a good backup if the Morrvair is down. Knock any fanciful stuff off the list, like putting a new engine in the Morrvair when it is working fine. Just make sure it is solid, safe, and comfortable for the crew. Then the Bombi, before winter comes. Fanciful stuff comes when everything is all the way finished, solid, and comfortable.
I like to "watch the extra long videos" with plenty of content 👌..
Last year, on my trip to see you all, you were friendly and welcoming, and I hope to stop by on my way to Colorado this year. I will be a fan for life .
Lizzy, I know that you have a great fan base, and all of us would want to watch a CZcams channel about your life. This is a crazy time we live in, and we need good role models for our kids.
"LIFE WITH LIZZY "
It's always a pleasure to watch, and hit the like button👍 to keep track of what videos you have already seen. Hello from the high desert of Phelan California. Lenny 👋 👋 👋
Congratulations Lizzie, but yet the channel won’t be the same without you being around full time.
Glizzy Lizzy
@@EnviousGenome hell nahh 💀
Love that Ed shows up - "I need you to cut that" 😅
Great video!! I really liked seeing all the upgrades and repairs you are planning for the entire fleet. That is a LOT of work!! I'll be staying tuned to see it all happen!! Congrats to Lizzy on her marriage and I'm glad she is doing all the things she loves!!
Good to have Lizzy fill us all in on where she’s been, what she’s been up to, and what the future holds. It’s been a great ride, Happy Trails, Lizzy.
And to other faces we’ve not seen for a bit, like Rudy, Trevor, Tucker, and Randy. And Ed too. Y’all are missed, but good to see the channel continue with new faces and the same great enthusiasm and education about being thorough, safe, and efficient.
Oh, and nature and animal friendly. Great to see Lady, Max, and Peanut.
Rudy left to start his own channel and business. Trevor quit when Matt was going through some legal troubles.
@@LORDxCAM3L what's Rudy's channel name
@@FonicsSuck it’s Rudy’s Adventure and Design
not to mention Lady and Max, they arent out on nearly as many recoveries any more. Doesnt mean I dont love Peanut.
Lizzie needs to do a video of gathering the cows.
lizzy need start on her tracker crawler video soon
A quick montage
@@edwardmartinez9459 Lol conservative Mormon farm girl on youtube in a bikini. Yep definitely happening.
Except for Matt's family, we don't hear much about the rest of the crew's families, off duty lives, etc. The crew's private lives - is private - unless they choose to share it.
@@joshshelton796Twat, do you recall humour.
Before you pull the Morrvair,the Banana,the Suzuki,the Snow mobile all apart ,pop down and grab a Jeep Gladiator,bolt on all the aftermarket spec you can to make it capable of filling in for the Banana at least.
You'll have the WBOW back from Chad soon so you won't miss out on the recovery work .
Now you forgot Blue steel ,she needs more capabilities to take the trailers in closer to the recovery points .
Lizzy ,thanks for sharing your details ,there has been other channels posting that information ,and because it's none of our business,it was nice to have you talk about it .
It's a big ask to be a way from your partner etc ,so best wishes and congratulations on being married ,you have certainly grown on this channel and have become very capable.
Well done
Cheers
A couple suggestions when using gasoline as a cleaning agent.
1. Use only as much as needed to get the job done.
2. Use a metal container instead of plastic. If the gas ignites, the metal container won't melt and release gasoline onto your shop floor. Several years ago a metal container of cleaning fluid (gasoline) in my shop was ignited by sparks from a grinder. I believe the metal container saved my shop from major damage.
I enjoy watching Matt begrudgingly go along with Tom's safety and quality quirks. Matt has the patience of Jobe. Who needs Disney when I can learn AND be entertained at the same time. 🤩
Love seeing Ed around the work shop.
Next time you put those in a freezer, use a freezer lock bag because their is a lot of moisture that can get into your internals.
What is this! Team MORR is growing up. I hear Matt talking about safety checks, completing tasks, checklists and more (MORR).
It’s always great to see Rhett and Jefe on the set. Both are naturals in front of the camera…..
First thing I would like to see completed is the Banana, then maybe the Morrvair. Lizzy, congrats. I love how your so passionate about keeping with your love of being that cowgirl. Really glad your sticking around to keep the guys grounded!!
That’s what Jamie is for. You’re a creep
It’s so fascinating how you use things in ways they shouldn’t work, and make them work.
Love it. Speaking as a retired firefighter, please, NEVER CLEAN WITH GASOLINE INSIDE A BUILDING.
Everybody had a heart attack when Matt said "we're saying goodbye to Lizzy". lol
We know that day is coming eventually. She's really become a valuable member of the team. Be sad to see her go.
You dont have to worry if they are telling her goodbye, if she was leaving for good she would just totally disappear off the the channel without a word about it like Trevor, Skeeter, and Tucker.
Not really, she’s kills like a dude.
Ye what did happen to them
no, just you.
Glad you are keeping the Banana and glad we got some Lizzy in this one. Also glad she’s doing what she loves.
You should get a bunch of LC9 all aluminum 4th Gen LS V8’s, they’re lighter, dissipate heat better, have external knock sensors and are Flex Fuel (E-85 100 plus octane) ready so you can get a great tune and run both types of gasoline. There’s a reason why Chevy only put them in their 4x4s. ❤
I love watching your videos! The way you include people from different age groups is awesome. I do have 1 suggestion, I was just watching the Salvaging the Banana video, was really surprised at the use of gasoline to clean parts. That is such a dangerous thing to do- my dear Dad impressed upon us that gasoline has one job- too BLOW UP! It only takes the vapor to explode. There are so many other options to use for cleaning, please emphasize this to your staff and viewers. Take care and thank you so much for all you do to support your community. Mark
Sometimes when Lizzy is out gathering cows they let their chips "fall where they may" but that;s another story for another day. Happy Trails....LOL
Your maintenance list is two years of videos! And we’re here for it!
Cant wait to see all these ''little jobs'' come to fruition. Should make some
quality posts to keeps us glued!
As a former professional gearhead with dozens of Danas under my belt, some of the things you do drive me crazy; to wit, determining the proper gear set for the carrier you have. It's the 2nd thing decided, after deciding on the ratio you want. But the set-up bearings are absolutely the way to go! 4 bearings for the particular rear end you work on most are money well spent. They save a bunch of aggravation with bearings, especially if you're starting from scratch. And they avoid ruining shims too. For my D60 and -70 set-up bearings, I painted each set a different color and stored in my tool box in their own drawer; you have to make sure they don't get into a finished axle by mistake. Ugly when that happens...
Good to see Lizzie back, glad to hear she's doing well! I hope her husband is secure in his abilities, 'cuz she'll give him (and most guys!) a run for his money, at least mechanically!
Otherwise, good video!
Congratulations Lizzy
The best to you and yours.
I'd like to see a "worlds' smallest off road wrecker" project.
RC cars? That would make for some fun content, fully staged recoveries with remote control vehicles, especially a tiny wrecker😂
Great news for Lizzy. For MORR and MORR fans not so much. She looks so at home on that horse with the calf. Good for you Lizzie.
Love the ingenuity between farmer and engineer! Literally my daily life as an engineer onboard a ship. We on a daily basis mix the two forms of repairs to keep these ships moving!
I like how Lizzy makes a huge tire into a comfy seat…well done Lizzy!
Tom, you should roast the dinosaur more often! There is nothing more satisfying to see him struggle accepting new better ways or new better tools- just keep reminding him on every opportunity :D And I bet he will make sure to pinpoint when all that doesn't work :)
this is turning into a reality show... i love it
That was so cool of Robby to come by and help with the bronco.
Great to see Ed. I was starting to worry about him.
I love how your dogs will take a ride in/on anything lol😂
Haven't seen Peanut on the Rokon...yet.
No turbo on the 1.3 Samurai. Just swap in a 1.6 16v Sidekick engine like you did in Ed's Jimney. You'll have more power and low end torque. I'm just finishing the wiring harness on mine and should have it swapped in this week, after rebuilding it and the transmission.
Channel wouldn’t be the same without Lizzie! Her husband is a very lucky man!
Grow up, Everyone is replacable.
Matt i love these long format videos, the 30+ minutes is really good for sitting down with lunch/dinner and turning on your channel without having to worry about my food getting cold looking for something more to put on
