Funny / It's Alive! with Brad

General

• The sarcastic emphasizing of Brad's accent, mumbling and stuttering in the captions. Wourder.
• The goofy and often surreal images and sound effects Hunzi throws into the background. Expect lots of shattering glass and upset cats. Especially funny if he puts them in at a point where Brad is distracted by something off-camera.

Season 1

"How to Brew Your Own Kombucha"

• The episode's Cold Open is Brad spilling kombucha on the floor.
  Brad: "Oh god oh god! Oh, cut! Cut, Vin!"
  Smash Cut
  Disembodied Voice: "What happened, Brad?"
  Brad: "Oh! [Beep]in' tragedy over here."
  Disembodied Voice: "Is this your first time making kombucha, Brad?"
  Brad: "It sure looks like it!"
  Cue title theme
• Food editor Andy Baraghani passes by, ranting about something he ordered the previous week.
  Brad (under his breath): "Guy's out of his mind."
• Brad has an interesting reaction when tasting the unfermented kombucha the first time.
• Brad says he'll probably bottle on Friday. Transition caption: "Monday..."
• Brad briefly rubs his face, but Vinny puts in a punch sound effect.
• "Like a frog's ass: watertight."

"How to Make Your Own Cultured Butter"

• Brad's sheer amusement at saying "butter" in French: "beurre", or as he pronounces it, "buh".
  "You know, I don't speak much French; I don't even speak that well English..."
• Brad asks food editor Claire Safitz if "all pasteurized food is pasteurized at the end of the day." She turns, opens her mouth like she's going to confusedly respond, and it cuts back to Brad.
  Brad: "Well put, Claire."
• While Brad is checking something on the computer, the computer screen is changed to a Google search screen for "How to make butter."

"How to Make Beer"

• Brewmaster Dan Suarez is very relaxed and chill through the episode, to the point that commenters think he might have been on something, but even he gets visibly tired of Brad's shit at one point.
• Brad never quite nails down the pronunciation of "wort". He says it like "wart"; Dan says it's pronounced like "wurt".

"How to Make Fermented Garlic Honey"

• The Cold Open is hilarious for how much of a Non Sequitur it is.
  Brad: "A lot of people get concerned... about botulism."
  Title theme
• Deputy editor Andrew Knowlton appears out of nowhere, and he and Brad have a manipulated staredown set to the transitional organ music.
• Hunzi adds a bird flying out of Brad's hands. The bird later flies out of a window with a loud glass shattering sound, right as Brad whips his head towards the window.

"Brad Makes Perfect Corned Beef"

• Brad's mic check Cold Open, complete with captions:
  Brad: Check, check, mi mi mi mi mi!
• Fun fact: Word of God says this episode marked the point where Hunzi goes absolutely ham on the editing, with the absurd caption humor, cheesy sound effects, and outrageous clip art (I mean, the minute Brad says corned beef, a literal cow on an ear of corn flies by, for God's sake).
• Title card: It's (was) Alive! With Brad Leone
• The title sequence includes a moment of Brad having a drink and turning and seeing Vinny, apparently not realizing he was being filmed.
• As Brad toasts the spices on the skillet:
  Brad: "You just wanna keep it moving, you don't really wanna go walking away gettin' distracted-"
  Smash Cut
  Brad, literally walking away: "La la la la la la la la!"
• "Right off the bat, you can smell the clove, you can smell..." (Brad inspects the spices) "You can smell the clove, you can sme- we didn't add the clove, Vinny. Stand by."
• Vinny/Hunzi make a dance mix out of assistant web editor Alex Delany's "Whoo!" reaction to the smell of the spices.
  • Later, Brad makes the same "Whoo!" when smelling the spices, and Alex's face gets superimposed over Brad's.
  • Bricked in October 2019, when Delany gives a similar "Whoo!" to tasting some powdered kimchi, and it gets a mashup remix with the corned beef "Whoo!" song.
  • Bricked again when Brad impulsively grabs chile de árbol for charred tomato toast.

"Brad Uses Moldy Rice (Koji) to Make Food Delicious"

• The Cold Open is Vinny scaring Brad as he comes out of the walk-in.
  "Jesus Christ, Vinny! Gotta put a bell on you."
• Brad's long rant about respecting a shared space gets cut short.
• Brad seem to forget to wear gloves, so he goes into a long series of justifications for why he chose not to. The caption at the end of it sells it: "You should probably use gloves."
• Shrimp playing piano
• Vinny zooms in on a bundle of herbs that Brad's head keeps bumping.

"Brad Makes a Fermented Mexican Pineapple Drink (Tepache)"

• Brad tries some unfermented Tepache, and as he reacts to the heat, Hunzi adds in some redness and steam.
• Brad has trouble clipping his mic to his apron.
• "It's afternoon. We can start drinking."
• While walking around the offices, trying to get people to drink the Tepache, Brad notices a ship passing by the Statue of Liberty. "That's where we're gonna shoot next, Vinny. A little place called... Ellis Island." The caption for Ellis Island pops up... then an arrow pointing to a different island nearby. Then another caption pointing out that the Statue of Liberty is on Liberty Island.

"Brad Makes Fermented Hot Sauce"

• The episode opens with Brad saying he really doesn't know what he's doing.
• The botulism discussion comes back, and Brad is very indignant about it.
• Photographer Alex Lau tries the hot sauce. The editing adds in a video game life counter progressively going down.

"Brad Grills Steak on a Campfire"

• The very first thing in the video is Brad falling off a chair.
  "Man down! ...I'm gonna get fired."
• Brad looks around while he's talking. A voice gets added in saying "If you cook it, he will come."

"Brad Makes Campfire Seafood"

• Brad keeps absentmindedly burning himself.
  Tip: Fire is hot.

"Brad Makes Campfire Breakfast"

• The tricky editing makes it look like Brad cut his finger off chopping wood in the Campfire Steak video (it was while cutting the potatoes). Vinny goofs on him in the captions the entire rest of the episode.
  Brad: "Hey guys, I'm Brad Leone, and even I bleed."
  • Brad catches Vinny on his phone. Vinny's caption claims he's looking up urgent care units.
• "Make sure you get a great shot of my a-"

"Brad Makes Campfire Ribs"

• Brad is seen without his goobalini for one of the few times in the show. This perturbs Vinny so much he adds a piece of knit cap clipart to Brad's head.
  • Brad has a rant about winter hats with "a big puffy pom ball at the top." Vinny adds a puff to Brad's hat, then an owl flying in and swiping it away.
  "We don't roll that way, right Vinny? (High voice) Right, Brad!"

"Brad Makes Mistakes (Camping Outtakes)"

• The whole episode is Hilarious Outtakes from the already funny camping miniseries. Brad goofing off, goofing up, making weird offhand comments.
• "Hi, I'm Brad Leone, another useful tool..."
• Any tips for keeping smoke out of your eyes?
  "There are no tips. It's called 'suffrage'."
  Suffrage: The right to vote in political elections.
• Brad responds to YouTube comments:
  "Creeps."
• Brad angrily assembles a tent to "In the Hall of the Mountain King". As one YouTube commenter points out, it's the most Brad thing to ever happen.

  Brad: This is either gonna be great or terrible, huh Vin?"
  Vinny: "That's how I feel about every one of our videos."

"Brad Makes Crunchy, Half-Sour Pickles"

  Brad: "She's a little... half-sour herself tonight."
  Claire (other side of the room): "Brad, I can hear you!"
• Brad gets distracted multiple times on the way to get some rosebuds.
  • Vinny references Orson Welles between cuts. Brad has no idea who he or Citizen Kane are.
  "It's focused around rosebuds? Sounds great! Thanks, Vin."
• "Oh, you know what I forgot, Vin?"
  Caption: "Cloves?"
• Andy can be seen in the background visibly and anxiously wanting a pickle. The editing only emphasizes this.
  • Then Andy mentions he's not feeling well, and Brad is caught off-guard and awkwardly says "Great." Cue another awkward staredown.
  • Andy keeps popping into frame to steal the pickles.

"Brad Explores an Oyster Farm"

• Brad's multiple bad takes at the start.
  Brad: Alright, alright, alright.
• Brad catches Vinny not paying attention again, and Vinny's scrambles to turn the camera back to Brad.

  "Hey Vinny, look! I found your relatives! Crabby bastard."
• Vinny completely ignores what's happening later in the video and films dogs instead.
• Vinny can be heard laughing as Brad messes up shucking an oyster.

"How To Make Sausage with Brad"

• It's quite entertaining how much factory owner Elias Cairo is similar in personality to Brad.
• Elias's laughs are often framed by the editing to be sinister.
• Brad and Elias "recreate" the Ghost (1990) pottery scene. And then they can't remember that it's Demi Moore in the scene and not Whoopi Goldberg.

"Brad Makes Sauerkraut"

• Brad opens the video with the odd Non Sequitur: "Basketball Diaries - is Mark Wahlberg in it?" We don't get the context until the very end of the video. And it still doesn't make much sense. And the closing caption is a big "YEP".
• The "cat" comes back in the intro.
• Brad gets annoyed at Andy for making noise in the background.

"Brad Makes Kimchi"

• "He said he loves me"
• Brad stops to mention to Vinny "You seem very sad."
• Brad: (To Amiel and Gaby) "Hey, you guys want some miso soup?"
  Amiel: "Yes, I thought you would never ask."
  Vinny: Uh, how long have you been there, Amiel?
• Brad: "And if you want, you can drop some garlic in there, too."
  Amiel: (Laughing) "You say that about everything! It's like your kid's first birthday, you're making cake: 'Oh, put some garlic on there if you want'."
• Brad says "Thank you for joining, my friends" to Amiel and Gaby, as the camera zooms on them both in awkward positions of eating the soup.
• "Puberty"
• Brad: "See if you're getting hot wourder! Back there! Huh? 'Water.' Wah-ter. Check the wah-ter. Who talks like that?!"
  Molly, offscreen: "Literally everyone but you."
  Brad: [laughs] "Boy, I love wah-ter!"
• Delany comes out of nowhere and tries to get Brad to throw some garlic at him so he can hit it with a sheet pan like a baseball.

"Brad Forages for Porcini Mushrooms"

• Brad opens the video by growling at Vinny like a dog.
• "The...'duff'...?"
• The "fungus friends" undermine their qualifications a bit, complete with a sarcastic countdown. A caption defining "natural selection" then pops up.
  Colin: "Is it an avocado pit?"
  Vinny: Ah, we're gonna die.
• "This is the Green Cap Wilson!" (tennis ball) "Known for its bounce." "Dog's love it."
• "Maggots?"
• Brad takes a very long time to ask "Why do you use a basket?" The agonizing subtitling sells it.
  So I noticed, you g'um c'know — looks like I'm gonna have to get one, but I noticed you guys got these really cool little baskets. Um, you know, eugh eughegh. Is there a reason you guys carry baskets, co— you know compared to like a little, I mean, other than it being super cute and all. Um. Is there a beneficial to putting your mushrooms or whatever you're harvesting in there, compa— compared to like a plastic bag or something stupid.

  Vinny: Not true of the show.

• "We did stumble across a couple of those Alice in Wonderland mushrooms."
  Vinny: Allicin?

• GOOD BOY
• Elias launches a clay bird for the hell of it while Brad's talking.

  Vinny: Excuse me?
• "Ohh, he's nasty!"
• The dogs Leather and Utah's occupation: good boy
• Elias slips and misses a bird.
  (Sheepishly) "I fell... Fat, sweaty Greek dude, falling down." (To Leather) "Sorry your dad's an idiot."
• Elias: "[Leather]'s like, 'What's with all this camera stuff, Pops?'"
  Vinny: I'm gonna make you a star, Leather...
• Brad: "What's that thing you always say, Vince? It's like, 'Clear head, open hearts' or some sh[beep]?"
  Vinny: Nope, but that explains a lot.
• Vinny surprises Elias walking up behind him. "Whoa, I thought you were a bird."
• The attempt at "doggy vision" immediately fails.
• Goobalini Cam
• When the hunting's done:
  Brad: "Sound speed."
  Elias: "Know what that means?"
  Brad: "No."
  Elias: "Me neither." (They both laugh)

"Brad Prepares and Cooks Pheasant"

• Brad's new job title: Test Kitchen Wanderer
• Brad pretends to not know who Vinny is in the Cold Open.
  "Get out of my garden!"
• "Let's go see... 'Let's go [beep]in' see' - who says that?"
• Brick Joke from the last part: Brad and Elias still don't know what "sound speed" means.
• "We did super well." (Short montage of Elias falling down and Brad pulling the wrong trigger)
• Utah and Leather stand around the whole episode, patiently waiting for pheasant parts that they just never get. Vinny and Hunzi point them out every time.
  • Utah
    Still Exercising Patience
  • Leather
    Patient Boy II
• "If you're not using the hurl-"
• For the first time on the show, "water" is subtitled as "water" (via Elias).
• Elias: "Confit is mat- er, meat- 'mat'..."
  Hunzi: Hey.
• Elias asks how many pounds the meat weighs, and Brad swats away a clipart scale while eyeballing the weight.
• Brad Keeps His Job
• Elias compliments Brad, calling him "lean and mean." Brad responds "Well, I've seen the oyster episode, but..."
• The yellowjacket
• Leather's patience wanes as Brad and Elias start digging in on pheasant.
  Leather
  C'mon, Man
• Happy B-on Appetit
• "Off the record, I am definitely cutting his [beep]hole out."

"Brad Makes Olive Oil (In Italy!)"

• Brad's new job title: Test Kitch- oh dear
• Brad's goofy expressions played in slow motion in the intro.
• The manipulated, awkward staredown returns.
• Hunzi makes a Voice Clip Song out of Matteo, then apologizes in a caption for it.
• Brad's attempts to pronounce "Scuotitore", the first of which he abandons immediately.
• Brad's attempt to be friendly with owner Franco fails immediately when Franco tells him he doesn't speak English.
• "Should I pretend like I don't know what's gonna happen?"
• Brad keeps saying "olio nuovo" wrong.
• "Here comes the sun."
  (Song starts playing, for one second)
  That's all we could afford.
  (Song resumes) Kidding, it's royalty-free.
• Brad's outro monologue gets jumbled. He ends up repeating most of it, Hunzi gets annoyed at having to loop the background music, and his rules for olive oil are:
  Don't(?) use it^note Corrected to 'Don't age it' later
  It's not wine
  Don't sit on it
  Use it, use it, use it
  • Eventually Hunzi skips and speeds up most of the second half of the outro, uses completely different stock footage, and slows the song down 10% to buy extra time.
  Brad: "It's so much more than just olive oil."
  You're telling me.
  I'm running low on B-Roll...

"Brad Makes Focaccia Bread with Samin Nosrat"

• Samin has practically the same goofy energy as Brad, so they get along great and bounce off each other well, and Hunziker gives her the same funny subtitling and clip art as Brad. Her having lost her voice only makes it funnier. She even starts the video by giving him bunny ears.
• Brad has so much trouble saying the name of Samin's book and show: "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat". His first attempt is a flat "Uh, ceugh- sh[beep]!"
• Samin takes over for Brad: "I wrote a book: Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat. We made a show. We went to Italy, Brad watched it, he said, 'Samin! Can you teach me how to make this focaccia?' And I said, 'If you pay me $20,000'."
• Once again, "water" gets captioned as actually "water", via Samin.
• "Shhh shooompa doopa doopa doop"
• Brad says bagels in New York taste different because of "subway hands" (the local microbes getting into the dough). Gaby's exasperated by this.
• Brad still can't pronounce "Sauvie Island".
• The honey very slowly pours out.
  Samin (laughing): "That's gonna take a hundred years!"
  100 Years Later...
• Samin points out Hunzi as he passes by. He shamelessly plugs his social media handle. Naturally.
  Samin: "That's our guy!"
  Brad: "Oh, Hunzi. We're not allowed to show him."

  Brad: "Like Jesus."
  Samin: "Yeah, like Jesus."
• 12-14 Hours* Later
  *seconds
• Brad keeps beating himself up over messing up transporting the swap.
  Samin: "I think you need to forgive yourself."
• Samin, as her voice quickly disappears. "You pour [the brine] over and bake the crap out of it!" The subtitles get smaller as she says it.
• Samin parrots Brad's "wourder".
• Brad's incomprehensibility leads to Samin hearing "For all I know, there's dead skin [in the air]" as "A guy I know has dead skin."
• Brad insists on using a different swap.
  Samin: "I'm getting confused on the lies and deception!"
  Brad: "No, there's no lies!"
  Vinny: A smidge of deception.
• Brad gets freaked out at Samin violently poking the dough, complete with Scare Chord.
• "Wow"
• Vinny disrupts Brad advertising his wood design shop (3 Dot Design) by moving the bottle of oil out of the shot.
• Brad gets really excited when Samin wants to see his fermentation projects. Chris in-turn really wants some more mustard.
  Morocco, while Brad's in the walk-in: "Where is everybody?"
  Samin: "They left."
  Morocco: "You're just down here baking by yourself?"
  Samin: "He's bringing me special things!"
• Chris Morocco
  Mustard Enthusiast
• Samin: "I think we'll be ready to put the thing in the thing soon."
  Vinny: Sounds good!
• Brad says he doesn't speak that much Italian.
  Samin: "You don't really speak that much English, either."
• Samin is overjoyed at seeing Carla and glomps her.
  Vinny: Bye, Brad!
• Samin: "If there was ever a show to do with no voice, it would be Brad's show."
  Carla: "'Cause he's talking the whole time."
  Vinny: Hahaha
• Hunziker's added emojis and captions while Samin and Carla are talking. "Buttah"
• Brad talking about his old deli job. "It's where I fell in love with deli slicers. The art of cuttin' things real thin, Vinny."
  Vinny: And you've been cutting it close ever since!
• Vinny gets impatient and asks in the captions "Where's Samin?". Then Brad mentions Ed Gein again, and they cut away with Aaaanyway...
• Samin: "I'm a little disappointed with how quiet it is here." *Loud crashing sound*
• Samin's scream is accompanied by an eagle "2 miles away".
• Brad continues to screw up saying "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat".
• Brad calls for Sue.
  Gaby: "Don't talk to her, she said."
• Brad shows Samin some of the things hanging over the counter.
  Brad: "And Vinny wanted to take this stuff down!"
  Vinny: Listen, either these go, or I d— too soon?
• The closing exchange nicely sums up It's Alive as a whole:
  Samin: "Are you going to fact check that?"
  Brad: "Huh?"

"Brad and Gaby Make Beef Empanadas"

• Brad's job title: Wait, what does he do now...
• Chris has a hell of a Funny Background Event dancing and pretending to sing into his tongs while Gaby gives her intro. When she's done, the video rewinds to zoom in on him, adding in a rock song and the silhouette of a cheering audience. Extra funny is how he slowly appears from behind Brad.
• Brad Leone Bingo, loaded with callbacks and running gags. The square marked is "Disregard for food safety".
• Gaby says she's 49.
  Brad: "Alright! Rock 'n' roll!" (Chris singing into the tongs pops in and out)
• Gaby: "I'm Brad Leone's friend! Aaaaah!" (Immediately stonefaced)
• Gaby: "That's more than enough. Stop that. Stop that sh[beep] right now."
• Brad admits he's always wanted a nose stud, like Tupac Shakur.
  Vinny: Lots to unpack here...
• Everyone's excited to see Chris' Uncle John from Las Vegas.
• Gaby: "I drink a lot of water. Where do you think I've been all day?" *To camera* "Sorry, don't-!" *Cut*
• Brad continues to treat Alex "Delany!" as his Sitcom Archnemesis. Alex just gives a cheerful smile and thumbs-up to the camera. Brad turns back to him with a sneer.
  Alex Delany
  Brad's Nemesis
• Brad: "Let's do these bad boys- show me the way!" (Empanadas fly into the mouths of clipart Bad Boys (1995) and Peter Frampton)
• (continuity error)
• Gaby, as test kitchen manager, decides "This is my show now! It's Dead."
• Gaby (in Spanish): "I thought I was going to speak Spanish in this video."
  Brad (attempting Spanish): "Yes, Cousin!"
  Gaby (in Spanish): "They're going to make me translate everything I say."
  Brad: "No."
  Gaby: "Si!"
  (They both look to the camera and laugh)
• Brad gifts Gaby with her own goobalini.
  Gaby: "Can I keep it?!"
  Brad: "No."
  Gaby: "It's f[beep]ing hot to my brain."
  Brad: "Don't- don't overthink it."
  Vinny: That could explain a lot...
• Brad describes why he originally hired Gaby.
  "She was very friendly. And you can't teach that." (Elias Cairo's head flies in and out)
• Brad: "You can't teach people how to be nice people. I mean, look at Andy."
  Andy: "Don't say that! Oh my god!"
• Hunzi shamelessly plugs his Venmo account in the stinger while Gaby and Brad discuss it:
  Gaby: "Do you know what Venmo is?"
  Brad: "Venmo?"
  Gaby: "Venmo."
  Brad: "Venmo."
  Gaby: "Yes."
  Brad: "What's that?"
  Gaby: [WTF face]
  Hunzi: @matthunzi [Corporate hand quickly redacts Hunzi's Venmo handle]

"Brad and Priya Make Yogurt"

• STABILIZATION CALIBRATION
• Priya: "How many times do you record this intro?"
  Brad: "Thousands. It's literally the hardest part. Priya, I can't even say a full sentence from start to finish. It's very challenging."
• "The vehicle service center?"
• Recipe -> Detour
• HOW TO MAKE YOGURT
  - 4 cups yogurt
  - All done!
  - I'm sorry
  - F'uhuhhh
  - Milk
  - Whole mi'k
  - 4 cups full fat milk
• The "Brad skeptical of dairy" counter. Later it says "Brad, who hosts a show on food rot, skeptical of dairy".
• The entire "ole man" vs "old man" detour. Chris calls Brad "old man", and Brad diverts back out of it with "Let's watch the milk boil!"
• Brad: "Most fermented things, or live, cultured things, are good for your butt- 'your butt...'
  (Wah-wah horn on Priya's surprised face)
  Brad: "Your gut biome."
  Priya: "I mean, ultimately your butt."
• Priya: "Did my dad write 'Brad' on it?"
• Priya's dad advertises and brands his yogurt like a salesman, naming Brad's yogurt "Noo Yawk" yogurt, and nicknaming Brad "Brad Dawg".
• Brad's new job title: Yogurt Apprentice
• Brad: "Yeah, you know, accidents happen."
  Vinny: That should have been the name of the show...
• Priya asks Brad why his parents named him "Brad". He mentions some other potential names, including "Biff". which shocks Priya.
• There's a fire out of nowhere. Nobody does anything about it. Chris even points and laughs at it to camera. Vinny soon turns away from what Brad and Priya are talking about to zoom in on it again before the scene cuts.
• Priya nearly describes how an episode of It's Alive usually is, never quite saying the word, so the captions give her options like Chaos? Pandemonium? Anarchy?
  Brad: "I guess you've never watched it."
  RUDE?
• Priya calls her dad, Shailendra, to show him the yogurt. She says he's not expecting the call, "so we'll see what state of dress he's in." Sure enough, he answers shirtless.
• Brad is so jazzed that Priya and Shailendra are happy with the yogurt, but not enough to be distracted by some poorly-stored herbs.
  "What kind of sick monster?!"
• Priya's mom coined the term "chuck" to describe the yogurt's consistency, and Priya admits she can't think of any other context it would be used. Brad thinks it sounds like what her mom would call her dad after he did a bunch of push-ups.
  Brad (laughing): "Sorry, sorry for bringing you there."
  Vinny: Oh dear...
  Priya: "That was a weird- a weird picture. That's fine."
  Chris (walking up): "The hell are you talking about?!"
  Priya: "He's making inappropriate jokes about my parents!"
  • Chris loves the yogurt, and Priya asks if he would describe it as "chuck."
  Chris: "It's definitely chuck! Now I get it!"
• Brad has the goobalini off, so Hunzi censors his face.
  "Hang on, I'm not in wardrobe!"
• Alex Lau does an impression of Alex Grossman.
  "R.I.P."
  (He's fine)

"Brad Makes Yuzu Kosho"

• The video's Cold Open is Brad taking a picture of the yuzu kosho for Instagram and immediately dropping his phone.
  Brad: "Ohhhhhhhh, sh-" Smash Cut
• Whenever Brad says to use a "hot chile", a picture of one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers pops up.
• Vinny tries to get Brad to rub his eye while cutting the chiles.
  Brad: "Was there really something in my eye?"
  Vinny: "No."
  Brad: "Oh, you're a great friend."
• Chris Morocco
  Safety Respecter
• Brad goes on a confused detour about Nelly Furtado. Molly briefly pops in out of nowhere to talk about listening to her in her carpool. Then Brad confuses "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None the Richer for one of her songs, causing Chris to start laughing behind him, embarrassed.
• Brad asks Andy for some help. Andy immediately takes his shirt off.
  Andy Baraghani
  Senior F- What's Happening
• Andy admits that he's a little sleepy. The whole rest of the video, Hunzi goofs on him by zooming in on his dazed face and playing lullabies or sad music.
• Brad gets caught lying about washing the yuzu, and Hunzi makes an accusatory production out of it.
  Brad: "You guys are gonna f[beep] me on this one."
  (Gasping woman from the porcini episode comes back)
• Editor-in-Chief Adam Rapoport appears in the background looking at what Chris is cooking. All that's heard from him is "Just for the hell of it?"
• Brad Leone Bingo comes back with "Big Boys".
• Adam gives Brad a fist bump for his idea of yuzu kosho shrimp.
  BRAD KEEPS
  HIS JOB
• Brad, coughing from the chiles and yuzu, says, "That's probably good for you. Maybe not." Chris, who seems to have been listening in the background the whole episode, starts laughing again.
• Brad growls at Alex "Delany" like a dog.
  "He's always coming down here. Trying to eat my shrimp."
• "My dearest Emily..." Already hilariously weird and out-of-nowhere; even funnier when Brad cuts it off with "-What's the date?!"
• Amiel Stanek
  Senior Food Sniffer
  "Me-ow mix."
• Vinny and Hunzi continue zooming in on Andy sleepily staring off into the distance.
• Brad: "Did we talk about color?"
  Vinny: Constantly.
• Brad says "Alright, Brad" to himself. One commenter notes that this means he's gone too Brad.
• The sound effect cat is followed by Brad going "meow" himself.
• The callbacks to Samin and "Biff Leone".
• Brad apparently missed the bad side of Biff's time travel in Back to the Future Part II.
• The video ends on unused footage from the Alaska crab episodes of Brad and Vinny getting on a seaplane. Brad being Brad, he has trouble with the seat belt.
  Brad: "Why does this always happen to me?"

• Claire's title:
  Half-Sour Saffitz
  Sourdough Consultant
• Brad's new job title: Talented Host (A+)
• The reel of Brad asking Claire for advice while she's trying to make gourmet Starbursts in her own video. The final clip is clearly near the end of her filming, when she was completely fed up with everything.
  Brad (off-camera): "Hey, Claire."
  Claire: "What do you need, Brad?"
  Brad (audibly awkward): "Well...!"
• Claire: "It's gained a ton of volume, and it's just on the verge of collapsing."
  Hunzi: Same.
• Snake in the trash.
• Brad trying to say "brioche". Later he says he pronounces "rotisserie" as "rotissererie".
  Claire: "Oh, that's my favorite. Because that's not pronunciation; that's just wrong."
• Brad goes on a long tangent about Claire learning to drive a five-speed car.
  Hunzi: I can go pick up some doughnuts if that's easier?
• After another long tangent about Tom Berenger and the movies he's in:
  Hunzi: Look, if you're trying to make doughnuts, you clicked on the wrong video.
• Brad gets a call from "Deborah?!" and nearly drops his phone (yuzu).
• Brad's form of optimism gets a visual representation, and a pretty good example of who he is: he's a "jar 2/3rds full" guy.
  Half empty: pessimist
  Half full: optimist
  2/3 full: missing the point, but with a great attitude
• Claire: "Brad likes to invite me onto the show, tell me how to live my life, and then ignores all my expert advice."
• Brad wanders off to get the lid to the container, and he walks back with it fanning himself, causing the air to blow into his mic the entire time.
• Claire having no patience for Brad and Hunzi when it's time to pull the dough.
• When the footage crosses over with Claire's Starburst video, Hunzi has to point out that he and fellow cameraman Kevin are "Not Vinny", and they give each other a high-five while Brad and Claire continue to bicker over Brad's awful dough folding.
  • In The Stinger, we learn that Gaby also interrupted recording by turning on the blender.
• Catching up to the awkward "Well..." from the start, the director of Gourmet Makes says "We can't do this again."
• Claire doesn't notice Hunzi following her into the walk-in and makes her jump.
• The preview for part 2 promises a disaster.

"Brad and Claire Make Doughnuts Part 2: The Disaster"

• Brad catches Hunzi before he can scare him in the walk-in like he just did with Claire, or like Vinny did early in the series.
  Brad Leone
  Peek-A-Boo Champ 2K19
• The entire first 6 minutes is Brad trying to be entertaining while they wait for Claire, who's 45 minutes late.
  • He tells the story of "the Donut King", a rat he found dead in a pile of Dunkin Donuts. When Claire finally arrives, she wants Brad to tell the story, not aware that he already has.
  • Claire thought the call time was 9:30 rather than 9, and she blames Hunzi for telling her that, to which he adds in a visual of her throwing his name under a bus.
  • The intro theme finally happens almost 7 minutes into the video.
• *Crickets*
• "The Vanilla Bean Situation", which Hunzi visualizes as a 70s soft rock band with Brad, Claire and Chris's faces put onto the people in the stock photo.
• Hunzi keepis count of all the spoons Chris takes out of a drawer.
• Brad is visibly confused by Chris' phrasing of "frosting motifs".
• Claire melting over Toby Goofy is disrupted by her hearing Brad ask for "loose honey".
  Brad, emerging from the walk-in: "Hey, Morocco. You have any good, like, loose honey?"
  Claire: "What is- what is loose honey?"
• Amiel Stanek
  Best Dressed
• Hunzi makes sure to tell Claire he's behind her as she goes into the walk-in.
• Brad and Claire's walk-and-talk is captioned "This shot directed by Aaron Sorkin".
• Brad is childishly against putting sprinkles on the donuts.
• Brad's test donuts the day before were apparently perfect.

• EVERYTHING SUCKS with Brad Leone

  "It's a lifestyle- who's that guy?"
• Claire, still recovering from the Starburst debacle earlier in the day, checks out while Brad closes the video. She also comically rolls her chair in-and-out of the shot during.
  Brad: "Alright, lemme just break it down."
  Hunzi: We have enough breakdowns going on actually...
• Their hopeful plans of trying again later are ruined by Hunzi needing to catch a flight that boards in two hours.
  We were supposed to be done three hours ago.
• Brad: "How are you with Starbursts."
  DON'T MENTION STARBURSTS
• Brad gets caught getting a text from someone, and he and Claire lose it. Claire spits her water back into her jar.

"Brad and Claire Make Doughnuts Part 3: Redemption"

• Brad wants to pick Claire's brain about the south of France, where he's going on vacation to soon.

  (Gaby laughs in Brad's face)
• Brad: "Remember last time, they were sinking to the bottom."
  Hunzi: Last time we were all sinking to the bottom.
• Chris does a little happy dance in anticipation of donuts. The song that plays is "Doughnuts for Days" by the Vanilla Bean Situation.
• Brad gets so excited that his New Jersey accent hits a peak. Except for one second that Hunzi identifies as Irish.
• 56 minutes into the doughnut series...we have a doughnut!
• "Keeple goddle keepa cuppel plain too."
• "Son of a...bitch, this is working out!"
• Brad asks what should be put on the next donuts... then ignores Claire's suggestion and puts on more honey.

  Hunzi: Telling jokes at frequencies only dads can hear...

• Claire: "This whole day is off the rails."
  Brad: "No, this was great- this was a home-run, Claire!"
