  6. i ALWAYS hear “damp towel” wrong. it always sounds like “cover with a damn towel” to me lmao

  7. Just wondering if you’ll ever make some pierogis. The internet has some ok recipes, but I wanted to see you take on them. Also, love your channel man. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us this year !

  8. “Wait till they’re cool enough to handle” you practically grabbed them out of the oil with your hands, Joshua.
