Every time Steve gets a well preserved mre he acts like a kid on Christmas morning.
Heck, I act like one too whenever I see a new video of his!
Its quite endearing
What kind of lifeless children do you have
I feel like steve could get any MRE that was complete trash and still have a great attitude about it.
Im acting like a christmas child when Steve Uploads :D D:
"my apologies it's off the tray" Steve is such a legend.
The zoom in shot of him slowly putting down the chocolate bar had me rolling 😂
I was thinking
"thats ok, it's not that import... yeah, it does kinda feel wrong."
Steve is the only person who can say "it's pretty fresh" when describing food from 2006 and would be correct to say so.
Yeah compared to hardtack from the revolutionary war 2006 MRE’s are brand new lol.
Fresh isn’t how I would ever have described an MRE, even one that’s not due to expire for years. Calories is the accurate way to describe them. Bland calories. And “Not yet rotten”.
that fucking MRE is as old as me 💀
@@Nostradevus1 Steve would probably say the hardtack is a **little** bit over the expiration date.
He be missed
When I'm lonely or feeling down, I like to eat whatever it is I'm eating while watching Steve. Makes me feel a little less lonely and a little less down. It's like eating a meal with a good friend
nice... and a little sad
I understand completely. Relief is rare lately. Please take care ❣️
I do this as well..
Same! I had buttered toast and mre nuts for dinner tonight!
dude same
That chocolate bar has held up better than I have in the last 16 years, I can say that much.
Bruh ☠️
What were you doin in 2006? You remember haha

@@seekhimwithallyourheartand3358 no, fuck you
You're a rough 16 are ya? ;-)
I'm amazed every time that Steve is confident enough to do something like stand with a full tray that has 2 drinks on it and slurp up a bowl of cherries, somehow never drops the tray.
Not surprising with hands like shovels
He's truly an alpha among betas
@@ayyblyat9450 an alpha among alphas even
@@deadandmoved a sigma if you will
@@jayc2469 Steve bench presses the tray with 200 kilos for practice
_Alone of all the CZcams historians, Steve really makes an effort to absorb history, make it a part of him, and spend time digesting it._
Luckily the Ultimate result of digestion is not the what happens to the history.
Literally
Bro digests history physically
16 year old instant rice. "It's a little odd. It's not bad, it's just unusual." God I love watching this guy. If Bob Ross ate MRE's, this is what it would be. Relaxing and entertaining.
My jaw dropped when you opened the coffee bar. Almost NO BLOOM at all. Thats like a unicorn of chocolates in rations.
Must have been crazily well stored because there's nothing special about coffee crisp. The chocolate isn't tempered and is just standard cheap nestle milk chocolate. The wafers usually get wicked stale too.
God damn spoilers. I need to avoid the comments before I watch Steve do his thing. This is a pivotal moment I deprived myself of in this sure to be legendary viewing experience.
I scrolled down to comment the exact same thing, what the hell
@@cyberdemon1702 Lmfao, I've learned my lesson from reading comments before watching the video.
It got nerfed in the last update
The musical spoon moments always make me happy, keep doing what you do Steve
Good to see those back
@@danieln6700 yes, I dearly missed those.
Quite possibly the greatest spoon tunes of all time.
Whenever he does that I get the most satisfying serotonin explosion in my crown Chakra. 🤤
Spoon tunes🎶
“My apologies it’s off the tray” immediately the most well rounded CZcams apology of all time. Thank you Steve, all is forgiven.
Man, out of my 12 years in so far I havnt got a single IMP where the chocolate bar hasn’t bloomed. This man opens up a 16 yo IMP and it’s mint. Keep it up, love hearing the opinion of someone that’s not a disgruntled troop freezing their ass off. Much love from Canada, stay safe!
God bless you and your family brother ❤
Back when I was in the CDN Infantry I enjoyed a lot of the IMPs. The only problem with them was they didn't provide us with enough calories because some bean-counting nutritionist back at NDHQ didn't want the rear-echelon types getting fat and for simplicity they only ordered one standard calorie count meals. We often carried extra rats with us. I'd bring cans of smoked oysters (on the crackers they were awesome, oil and all) and I'd bring a couple cans of spaghetti-o's or similar for those evenings when I was feeling down LOL. Plus spices of course. The two worst IMPs I remember were the chicken a la king, and the dreaded ham omelette in the breakfast packs. You could re-sole your boots with those. I carried a small butane camping stove in a Bren gun mag pouch so my fire-team partner and I could warm up our own food.
Very cool! Thanks for the added info, gives great context.
I always wondered how you guys in Canada infantry kept up on calories. I got to enjoy your rations during RV 92 n again a year or so later.
I'm pretty sure you guys could blow through 3,000 calories plus in a day and not gain weight. I'm eating 1600 a day because I'm an office worker but idk why anyone would limit infantry's calories.
@@brarautorepairs bean counters bean counters can be dicks
Thank you for your service big dog
Anyone else smile when he says “alright, lets get this out on the tray”?
I always get the same excitement, even after all these years watching.
Yup
He loves to get things sat onto a tray
Always without a doubt!
That and the musical spoons when mixing drinks or if he opens a can and that hiss.... Nice
As a Canadian I can tell you the “staleness” is just what Coffee Crisp naturally is like. Not like those Neapolitan wafter cookies that when fresh are crisp but still kinda moist in the filling.
Damn yes, they have to squeak when you bite into them though? Lol
Vrootman Vanilla Wafer cookies. Omg. So good.
As a Canadian I disagree, I've had coffee crisps stale and not stale and I'm pretty sure the majority of them just actually end up stale because they don't have great shelf life.
@@juice6199 its like striking gold when you hit a really crispy yet moist coffee crisp
@@juice6199 agreed. You can get some damn fresh Coffee Crisps; they do just go stale easily - I think its the wrapper; it has a really wimpy wrapper compared to say a kitkat or crunch bar.
While Steve's talking about that cherry juice I'm over here yelling "Dump it in the lemon drink Steve!" 😄 I'm entirely too into this review
For me, it is the fact that Steve eats the entire ration. Not just little bites from each. This makes him the best ration reviewer on YT, hands down.
I'm glad it's not just me that appreciates that aspect. So many ration reviews are just a single bite then 5 minute moans about how awfull and weird it is.
Clean plate gang B)
He also always has something nice to say about it. Even the Chinese ones. It makes me really happy. :)
He is by far the best
The fact that he didn't scarf all that rice lets you know how bad it really was.
You might be the most genuine channel on CZcams. You obviously do this for the love of it. Otherwise you wouldnt go so long between videos. We missed ya Steve.
Even more than that. He makes no money from the videos, he has ads turned off...
Probably why he can only post videos once a month or two and still have near 2 million followers.
Hard to post when it's almost inpossible to get MREs from other countries right now.
I found the other child of the fence that loves Steve!
@@grayrecluse7496 True, but he's told us several times for years he's filmed numerous MREs he still never has released. And I imagine he had something of a stock pile of them before it became difficult. He does have some pretty good contacts as well. :) Then there is the dehydrator he got and could be making videos of him trying to make make home made MREs if he needed material for videos. I think he just doesn't feel the need to upload more than he does.
I've never thought I'd be so excited about no bloom on a chocolate bar!
My cat went crazy when she heard you shaking the rice pouch. Thought it was treat time! Great video as always and an excellent ration pack.
Well, just be prepared to feed her everytime you're watching steve😅
I love watching this channel while I'm eating, too!
Find you someone who looks at you the way Steve looks at MREs. You deserve it
i know right lmao
thanks. i hope you find someone like that too
I'm glad Steve is still doing his thing, he's the reason I tried some MRE's.
Hes the reason I enlisted
@@mystriddlery legendary, thank you for your service, may I ask what’s branch your in? Two of my closest friends are in service curently, one in the navy one in the marines, both overseas at 19 years of age. God bless and happy Easter
@@mystriddlery thank you for your service!
@@mystriddlery Thank you for your cervix
Same.
Dude 8:52-9:00 that lemonade drink spinning was the most relaxing little tune ever. That was nice on a asmr level.
I came into the comments for the same moment.
Dang, this food is 16 years old and still looks better than some fresh stuff you find in a store. Seeing the rest of the meals would be nice.
When Steve uploads its like wearing an old warm coat and finding money in the pocket. Satisfying, comforting and you feel richer because of it
best comment!
Now that actually sounds like something Steve would say! 💯
1325 days sober thanks to Steve and his awesome MRE reviews. Keeps me calm every time. Thanks for your videos!!!
Best comment of the day! Congrats Bro!
Congrats brother! I just hit one month and it feels great!
@@Snowghost76 Thanks!
@@dexterdouglas Nice! Keep going! Watch Steve’s videos when you feel anxious. That’s what I do!!
Sounds like you should treat yourself to a drink.....
Of Instant Type 2 Coffee
I remember my first taste of the bread when it was first introduced around 97 or 98. Texture, flavour and moisture were ideal. Speaking to one of the food scientists at the time she told me it was meant to have ten year shelf life under ordinary storage conditions. Much better than you'd expect in ordinary rations. I really liked it. The only drawback was that it dried fairly quickly once the pack was opened. You either ate it swiftly, or mixed it in with your food.
The dramatic zoom and overly-careful placement of the chocolate bar really made me laugh. Never change, Steve
I've been homeless since my home burnt down. An we were given MRE's to eat an it came with toilet paper an wipes, an everything you need coffee, gum.. some of the food was great.. candy... Yeah 3 meals... I thought of you when I was laying it out to eat... Thanks for what you do.. some stuff tasted nasty ... Grateful to have it for sure!!! ✌🏼💗😊❣️
omg im so sorry about your situation 😢 praying for you and your family 🙏
I hope you're in a better place now!!
Steve is the only guy on CZcams who doesn’t do this as a way of making money he does it for the real reason CZcams was created, to share passion about a hobby he loves and enjoys with true facts and information. Love ya Steve! My daughter does to!
Considering how many views he gets, the money's got to be a nice bonus...or a heck of a way to defray the costs of getting so many rare MREs.
@@SimuLord I agree he says some of those MREs are darn near 1,000$ a piece so I’d definitely believe that he just puts it back into his collection
Thank you so much, I forgot to disable my ad-block for Steve.
Have premium anyways, so might as well make CZcams shell out to things I watch.
Overslept badly today so I got my coffee and I'm watching Steve. The man is a marvel and singularly the best reviewer!
no filter this man's videos have really changed my late night game. truly an artist
steve has carried me through so many sad nights. a breakup, and i can’t thank him enough. never forget that spaghetti
Never forgetti the old spaghetti!
Check the ingredients on the rice; it could be vermicelli, which is pasta. Great video; forwarding this to my uncle who survived 3 1/2 tours in Vietnam. He claims that the rest of his squad called him "The C-ration Gourmet". He likes your channel as well....
That would answer it right there. Good eye! Your uncle sounds like a cool dude.
Nice
Would also allow the name of the dish to make a bit more sense as the "mein" in chow mein means noodle
My favourite part of Steve’s videos is when he says “Let’s get this out on a tray, Nice”.
Huge respect to Steve for not begging for likes, subs or bells. The content speaks for itself. Can't wait for something new, or old.
This is from the generation I was issued back during my service. Vegetarian menu items were often passed over, so I would take plenty of those home. When I joined the army I was very poor, so these MRE supper days were the very best eating. In the field, the FRH's weren't issued very often/often enough to really be useful so it usually ended up being boiled over a stove. Now here I am watching someone eat these for fun. Think I still have an old FRH I pulled out of the map pocket of my tac vest before handing it in around here somewhere...thanks for the great video Steve.
5:49 Love how Steve makes sure the coffee gets onto the tray, lol.
Come back on the tray seasoning ball.
I honestly don't know how Steve does it, but everytime I watch his videos I leave feeling so happy. His encouraging commentary while reviewing these fills my heart with delight. Thank you!
As a Canadian, I am so happy that Steve love this ration and it turns out really goof from his POV!
One thing I want to point out is the typo on this ration, Chow Mein this mein actually mean noodle instead of rice; it would be Chow Fan to be correct.
Also I'm little surprise how that coffee crisp is nearly perfectly like fresh! I wonder did they make it a little differently so it could last longer than those on the shelves?
You missed the actual spelling. They spelled it "Chow Main" as in "this is the Main part of the Chow". Haha jk, but that would be incredibly funny military humor if they did.
@@deadpanfishmilitary humor?
“I’ll take raging oxymorons for $500 please, Alex”
Turns out he’s not a fan of the fan as main course chow.
You are correcting Steve because Canada made an error. JFC. 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
@@vincedibona4687What part of "typo on the ration" made you think he was correcting Steve and not Canada? I didn't know Steve was the one printing the packaging for these Canadian rations. Learn to read before calling someone out. 🤦🏻♂🤦🏻♂🤦🏻♂
I was 13 in the cadets right when these were out and when we were off base and going outside they would provide us with these exact MREs, good memories
Remember the toothpaste tube of condensed milk?! Those were the best.
The rice is instant, so it has been steamed, then dried again, so it will reconstitute without boiling. That seriously changes the texture. Try The Instant Rice Formerly Known As Uncle Ben's, and you'll find the texture somewhat similar.
Were there noodle pieces in the chow mein? "Mein" means "noodle". That they served it with rice is a little head scratcher. A block of ramen would have been closer to actual chow mein. Reconstitute some ramen instead of the rice, drain it, then put it underneath the pork.
It's good to see you back, Steve. Hearing you say "look at that thing!" just made my evening.
In Canada "Chinese Food" is pretty diversified and sometimes quite alien to the original. I live in Nova Scotia: here traditionally bean sprouts are substituted for noodles in chow mein. By way of an explanation, noodles were almost unknown in many communities here, but Chinese restaurants have been established for a long time. I don't know if was availability or to accommodate local familiarity though. I hear up in Newfoundland they substitute cabbage. Maybe to settle the argument they just dropped it all!
There are other far, far more wild divergences.
Uncle Ben's is dope, I miss living near a store that had it always a dollar cheaper than anywhere else
@@paulmoir4452 Huh that's quite neat! Learn something new every day.
I still haven't found any western Freeze dried rice that reconstitutes well. The South Koreans have it down though. The rice in the red/green foil pouch "MRE" is better than some restaurant rice that's been sitting in the steamer for hours.
@@arthurc7191 Perhaps we didn't really understand rice here until lately? I grew up on Uncle Ben's: not the 5 minute but the normal stuff. I thought I hated rice until I finally got the real thing.
I like Steve because he gets a lot of stuff out of the norm, so he isn't posting a video every week. That's what makes him worth waiting for. And he eats the whole thing, always cleans his plate (or tray) like my Daddy taught me.
No ads, no sponsors, no join button. These reviews are his love and he doesn't make a cent off of them. And with the number of subscribers he has, he could easily make a few bucks. That being said, I wonder if he at least has a Patreon for folks who may want to help out his channel a bit. For the amount of entertainment and Info I get from every vid I'd gladly donate a few bucks to keep it going
Steve's mixing and spoon tapping is music to my ears.
I can’t help but smile when I watch these videos. It really comes across in the video how genuinely happy Steve is when he films these. Never change please.
Yeah, I've never thought of that before but you can tell when a person is just going through the motions, but I never notice that in any of Steve's videos
Aw man this brings back memories of camping trips from highschool with my buddy who did cadets. Those packets turned the flames purple when burned IIRC.
The quality of life and things in 06- 09 was something that wont be known to anyone on earth again. I pray we one day can have a time like that.
Love how delicate you are with the box, in the field we tear into these things like rabid animals lmfao
With your teeth aha😤
So many satisfying nuances in Steve's videos. Everything from the black box, the hiss, the tray and the old style music, I hope he never changes his presentation.
So I was in the Canadian Army in 2007. I remember everything in this box. The entrees were almost always some sort of protein and veg in a sauce. The rice is instant rice, you just need to add a tiny bit of water, then just throw it in your entree pack and it will cook. The entree usually didnt have carbs in it like noodles and rice. The rice would soak up everything nicely. The bread is best if you boil the package. Can't stress that enough. Boil the package of bread and it will have the consistency of a fresh donut. They are good toasted, too. We usually saved a few breads for when it's your turn to do stove watch, then make some toast with your pb/j. The marmalade was kinda nasty but all the other jams are decent. Sometimes you got a package of nescafe mocha. Usually in the morning we boiled a pot and everything coffee related from your section gets thrown into one pot. Good stuff, especially in the winter. If you're hurting and in a hurry, you can eat the coffee with a chaser, then have your mint after, honestly not that bad, we all did it. Oh and you would keep the box from your entreee to kind of hold the package. You always ate it in the package, I have not once emptied a ration onto a plate. Thats why you get that really long spoon. You always got a liquidy dessert. That cherry one is good, theres a blueberry thats similar, and a fruit salad. If you had a nasty taste in your mouth, you dont anymore after having the dessert. Canadian Army had A LOT of variety for the main meals. My favorite was salmon in creamy dill sauce. It was a deck of cards sized hunk of salmon floating in a cream sauce, and it came with plain white rice. Everyone else hated that meal so I got to trade for it a lot. The breakfasts were always a gamble, because theres a chance you may get the dreaded mushroom omelete. It was going to be a good day if you got the beans and weiners.
A small note: lighter roasted coffees are stronger. The less you roast the coffee bean, the more caffeine it retains. If you roast them to death more caffeine is burned off. I know what you meant but that's just something I noticed.
Unless the darker roast is brewed with more coffee per ml of water! "Strong coffee" can mean so many things!😂
I've truly missed Steve and his rations. Happy your back
Can’t believe we are being blessed with a two for one tonight. Amazing. Iconic. Incredible.
16 years old Ration
"Hmmm, seems savoury, and fresh..."
Gotta love his excitement.
My uncle who served in Vietnam said he got cigarettes in his ration pack. I no those days are long gone but when I served the lure of coffee and cigarettes was a great breakfast. Love your videos Steve keep them coming.
The way you described the rice reminds me of rice a roni. It's an instant rice mixed with vermicelli, which is a type of pasta. It looks similar.
Every time I tell someone about this channel, and that it's weirdly compelling and you'll watch it for hours, they think I'm crazy.
About half of them try it and tell me they watched this channel for three hours straight the next time they see me.
Same here. The last 3 people I showed this channel to got hooked into a binge.
I love how steve always says good things about any ration. He’s really charismatic and has such a positive attitude.
I dont admit to anyone that I watch this channel...
Bro the other day a homie said "let's get that on the tray" and it was like finding out we're related
Reminder for future me that yes, i have watched this video three times so far. Thanks Steve!
I just searched on YT how to go with MREs and ended up here by Steve. Not knowing he has others videos. Right by the first video he catched me, I subscribed and he has me as a new "fan". I really like him and I love his videos and the "respect" he shows of all the food which he eats. Great guy and for me finding him on YT is like winning in a lottery. I love to hear "ok, let's get this on the tray" and the "singing of the spoon". And just to mention how he rips the bags open, perfectly! Thanks Steve and all the way...🙏
Every time Steve gets a well preserved ration it makes me too happy. It's just great to see a piece of history preserved properly and Steve getting the chance to enjoy it and present it to us.
Steve you have to do another outside camping episode with mre's.
Im sure the relaxed nature of that episode cured some of our anxietys.😂
And nearly 2 million subscribers can't be wrong.
More videos like that would be so cool
I love the packaging on Canadian IMPs! It’s so clean and satisfying
I’d bet that the only reason the Coffee Crisp tasted a little off, was because Steve’s comparing this “Mocha” version to the regular kind. Which has a bit of a lighter coffee flavour.
Thanks for another awesome video Steve! I’ll always love to see more!
Or, it’s just shit. But here you are second-guessing him. 🤦🏻♂️
I'm freaking drooling here watching my bro Steve eat an MRE... damn I'm jelly!
I can’t watch these when I’m hungry :)
Steve is back with that good food. Keep it up my man!
Steve is always showering praise on the Canadian IMP. I love it! Proud Canadian here!
Love from Canada ❤️
I am Canadian, raised in a military family. Watching you eat not only a Canadian MRE, but from all around the world is really lovely. Thanks so much for the content!
You make these MREs seem like the most gourmet food ever, and I want to try them so badly
Some of the best MREs. I've had fellow soldiers from other countries come up to me and offer me 2 or 3 MREs for one of my meals. One Aussie gave me 5 Aussie MREs for one Pork Chow Mein.
Quick tip... Once prepared a gourmet meal for a girl I was dating using Hungarian Goulash MRE on a bed of rice. Let's just say she was impressed. :) When in doubt fall back on MREs.
Steve always says, if you want to try exotic foreign cuisine, open up that countries mre.
As a Hungarian, I am happy to hear that. ;) I live in the UK and I have introduced the traditional goulash to my neighbours (in Hungarian it is spelled "gulyas" which means the cowboy, the guy who takes care of the "gulya" a pack of cows.) The legend goes as: traditionally the gulyas don't eat "cheap meat" like pork or chicken etc, he only satisfied when he is eating beef so the traditional gulyas (a meat stew) can only be made using the prime parts of beef. I see many nations trying to achieve the taste using lamb, pork and other meat and lose cuts and call it Goulash. I came across Hungarian Goulash in the UK in highly rated restaurants made from other meat and seasoning and it was awful. Sure it was a nice stew but surely it was not Goulash (gulyas). Another very important ingredient is our famous sweet deep red paprika powder from Szeged. As you can tell I am more than proud of our traditional cuisine. I cook many nation's foods in my home - but always very keen on following their possibly centuries old tradition in seasoning and methods. I feel like I pay my respect for their culture in this way.
@@Lucky32Luke you should make chili. It’s not hard to make and very tasty. It’s also a cowboy stew.
It's kiev
@@sawyere2496 I love chili and I do make chili too - most of the time Mexican chili. The night after is a bit of a struggle LOL
Drinking vending machine coffee and eating a barely expired cookie, while watching this put me in a different frame of mind before my 12 hr. shift. Thx Steve
Steve you should review the rest of the items in the box! They looked really interesting.
He only reviews one ration per video. You just have to wait. Learn patience.
@@vincedibona4687Except for all of the times that he's done more than one, or has uploaded multiple videos in a day. 🤷🏻♀️
The King has returned. I always look forward to these videos. Great content man, this is literally one of if not my favorite youtube channels. I remember when you had around July 2016 when you had less than 100k subcribers. It has been amazing to be able to watch your channel grow over the years and I hope it keeps on growing.
When you pour out something powdery like the drink mix and then squeeze the bag, that makes me feel good and laugh for some reason. I appreciate that you continue to do that.
I appreciate the fact that your knives are always razor sharp.
Whether you like it or not, learn to love it, because Steve1989 the best thing going in mre reviews today!
This channel is truly a treat. Each and every time Steve uploads i can't help but smile. Keep on puttin em on a tray man!
I love how content Steve is with this food - particularly the coffee. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and I'll admit I'm a coffee snob and only drink barista-made cappuccinos. Steve's a nice reality check!
I love seeing so many new vids from Steve! He really makes my day/night! It is a comfort!
8:57 one of the best sounds to ever be created.
you know when its a good day when steve drops 2 videos, nice!
You just cant beat a nicely preserved ration. This looked great.
I love these videos. It's so fun watching someone so enthusiastic about something they enjoy.
Man Steve always knows when I wanna chow down and have something good to watch when I'm doing it. Nice
I'm a Canadian and it's my birthday week, so I feel extra special that you posted this 💜 also love coffee crisp, one of my all time favorite chocolate bars!
I needed a video with Steve's pure joy and enthusiasm today. It always feels like an amazing gift when a notification from his channel pops up! Hooray!!!
Oh man I remember those little Baskin Robbins candies back when I was a kid! They were so good! I can't believe i forgot about them. Thanks for unlocking that memory Steve!
It's astonishing how this MRE survived the ravages of time, with the components being fresh as the day they were made. I really enjoy watching your channel. You are like an archaeologist, but with old and obscure food items and military rations.
Anyone think he's underrated as a youtuber I feel like he's the bob Ross of reviewing MREs
I mean, I wouldn't call almost 2 million subscribers Underrated
I smile watching your videos. The music edits, your catchphrases and general attitude just make it a fun time with you!
So excited for new videos! My 5 year old likes watching them before bed. He and daddy made their own “Steve mres” the other day for breakfast
After watching enough of Steve's videos it inspired me to get a couple of the French MRE's. Just finished working my way through the French RCI no.4. Outstanding! Thanks Steve for all your great work!
Watching with my cat. I think he likes MRE's.
Thanks Steve, it’s always a treat to see what you’ll bring in next. Also, I have to say I get the most satisfaction out of the tonal changes you treat us too when you tap your spoon on a glass. It’s the little things, and I love it.
When my brain will not shut off, and all of life's problems are swirling in my brain, these videos help distract my brain. While i appreciate learning about all these MREs, I really just love that I can come here and get some distraction from everything. Thanks Steve. Sometimes these videos are the only thing that can help me shut my brain off of "worry mode" for a little while.
Nice to see you back Steve! And with a delicious Canadian IMP no less!
Watching this man eat old MRE’s was definitely the weirdest obsession I had as a kid but I’m not mad at it 😌
Had no idea how I found this channel but it's quite addictive. I find it relaxing watching in bed before sleep. Almost like asmr
This channel is so soothing. I love how enthusiastic you are. Many thanks!
I absolutely LOVE watching these and listening to you talk 😭❤️
