- I had so much fun watching other people's videos and I had my own little collection so...
thanks @LostLifetimes for responding to a comment and making this feel less stupid to do
I really appreciate how he approaches talking about this. There's no guilt, no "I'm goin' crazy over here, gonna regret this later!" no weight talk (aside from meal-must-be-heavy-to-pass-the-Brennan-test), no pitting "junk" foods against "healthy" options, nothing. He both recognises that food is fuel, yet truly savors the process and the love that goes into making food good. It's all very experiential and tethered to people he loves, people he's never met but knows put their heart into something, or valued alone time. What a solid dude. Refreshing takes all around, would love to cook him a (heavy) meal and share it.
Well, he’s also a man and they don’t really talk like that as much.
I'm retty sure Brennan could roll into any city in the U.S. and somebody there would be thrilled to make him a very heavy meal.
Were you an English major by chance?
@@squeezie_b8895he's also a man who's talked about working out several times. men talk about a lot of this in a disordered way as much as others, but often differently
@squeezie_b8895 anybody can have body image issues. Brennan's confidence is genuinely very aspirational to me
I just realised I need to be less ashamed of my food opinions because if Brennan has the same way of looking at food as me there's no way I'm doing it wrong.
I say. Live life. It's too short to worry about what other people think....I mean unless you're a psychopath. Then maybe worry a little. Cus that's empathy.
If food was only meant as fuel we wouldn't have taste buds
Enjoy your food try something new, keep to classics, love yourself the same a chef would love you for eating their food with heart and joy!
dude saaaame!!!
YES KING EAT UP!!!!!
"If I'm eating latkes, then I'm eating 30 latkes." The truest statement I've heard all week.
I never had one, but something about a fried potato with applesauce on it sounds freaking amazing.
@darrienjones8917 if you put applesauce AND sour cream on the same latke and slam the whole thing back it’s actually heaven.
They're amazing. The problem is that they're the heaviest shit on earth. It's truly astonishing to me that people can eat more than 4 of them. But to be fair, I don't have the highest tolerance for heavy, greasy food.
My grandad used to make them every Hanukah, it was a yearly highlight. I remember how only a half of each batch would make it to the table, with the rest vanishing misteriously on the way...
Good times.
Brennan is the type to completely fall in love with jewish food, it's all so heavy. I could see him eating an entire pot of cholunt.
Grant recoiling and complaining while Brennan is having the time of his life, discovering the joys in deep fried grilled cheese and eclairs.
Grant being against it just made it better
Living the dream tbh
Grant does not understand food.
@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic563
I could not agree with you more
they literally just talked about this in a recent adventuring party. "You (Brennan) and Grant, culinarily, are full opposites. Grant will sit down and just eat, like a bowl of spinach, and that's a meal for him." -Siobhan, as they discuss how Brennan views salads as medicine
Hilarious that Brennan is so innately occupied with the weight of food, it's a very min-maxer trait of his.
the fact that a major point of consideration for him is "will this kill me if dropped on my head"
This is so fucking funny you're so correct
"If I don't suffer a mild concussion from blunt-force trauma, this paper bag of food to my head, it does not deserve me eating it."
Brennan would LOVE the round meal
I love that his perfect restaurant-experience includes the staff feeling comfortable and not being stressed. Truly a man of the people!
You have no idea friend, just look up Brennan as Bud Cubby and it'll really open the eyes
@@MrChaoticreign Oh, I'm aware of Brennans game and his opinion on the sociopolitical issues of america
The way Brennan also talks about Izzy in these videos is so endearing
Ikr?? This is a man who loves deeply and unashamedly.
Like I hear this man talk about the love of his life (and also Izzy) and I’m bawling
When it was brought up that Izzy loves cookies too, Brenna 's reaction was so amazingly endearing and pure, and from something as simple as "She loves cookies"
Perfect.
A clip from when Brennan was late to a Drawfee stream because he stopped for steak and eggs would have been great in here.
taking notessss
the brennan lee mulligan compilation i didn’t know i needed
It seemed too big a part of his character to be ignored
That is a great autocorrect. It is definitely complicated
@@KattReenhehe oops
Ya know, as a native Irishman, Brennan for all that I love him usually reads more American to me than Irish, but this compilation start to finish was pure Irish. Between that sort of weirdly hallowed way of speaking about foods that would kill lesser men with the sheer fucking heft of them, to the almost insulted face when someone compares his favourite foods to sex like 'how dare you sully my culinary enjoyment by comparing it to something so vulgar' is just start to finish conversations that Ive been on both sides of. Especially the sticky toffee pudding 'DM' description.
Now I know who my people are
I think it's a cultural holdover for many Irish-Americans
It's very much a New York thing as far as I'm aware lol
@@theWeaverofTales City livings biggest pro is being able to travel the world via food and it's all in the same place!
it's the poverty. food is more holy than Gd when you've been too poor to eat. (or the British are deliberately starving you)
this man is singlehandedly fixing my entire relationship to food, no guilt no shame no regret!
MANS LOVES FOOD AND WILL NOT APOLOGIZE AND I LOVE THAT
same!! i have a bad relationship with food that started during childhood, so i hate having any kind of conversation about food and i hate seeing people eat and also them seeing me eating. but somehow! this mans sweet enthusiasm over food! is making me feel better about it all! how?!
His love for food makes me love food
I read the all caps part in his voice and it was perfection 😚✨👌🏻
there truly is nothing hotter than a person who loves eating
...
Yeah
He respects what he consumes so much
I love cooking, so people who love eating are my people.
you know it
3:04 I usually don’t watch a lot of compilations but the choice to overlay the audio from the podcast over the visual of Brennan candidly munching is like staring into a campfire while listening in on a good story lmao
It just tickled my brain lmao
I really thought this was just gonna be clips of him eating various snacks, but truly, this is a philosophy.
The way Brennan describes not just food but the *experience* of good food, gives me the same feeling I felt watching Ratatouille as a kid. Something in my soul feels hungry and content all at once
Brennan talks about Izzy and food with the same expression on his face
Brennan Lee Mulligan talks about food the way JRR Tolkien talks about trees
tell me why his voice got deep and seductive when he was talking about the chickens i need someone to talk about my food like that
Yeah. like I don't like sticky toffee pudding, but I really want to try the one he described just on the back of that description.
gurl, I need someone to talk about me like that😅
You forgot episode 1 of Game Changer, where Sam asks if he's ever eaten food out of the trash, met with a vehement "Yes!".
There are enough clips that didn't quite fit the vibe that maybe there will be a less hinged sequel
@@whithertheywanderSEQUEL SEQUEL SEQUEL SEQUEL!!
(please 😊)
@@whithertheywanderI NEED IT
@@whithertheywanderpretty please
@@whithertheywanderpretty please deep fried with sugar on top 🙃
The fact that brennan and i share favorite pastas is more meaningful to me than it should be
They're so wide, more noodle per noodle
YES! More noodle per noodle! There's just something about fettuccine, it really is superior
Fettuccine is the best. It's heavy, holds sauce well, thick, and excellent for slurping. Like, the slurp is solid and satisfying.
That being said, penne comes in at a close second place for me. It loses points for lacking the slurp but gains points for the sauce-hold.
Now, angel hair spaghetti can be tossed right into the compost. Those weak, pathetic noodles!
FOR REALLL
The New York accent coming out as BLeeM is defending the Chicken Parm as his wife is so hilarious to me
Oh my gods, his face when Siobhan talks about the potato waffle healed something deep inside me from growing up in such a diet-obsessed culture 🥺
This video will be the perfect remedy for days when I don't have an appetite. Hearing someone I admire so much talk so passionately about food feels like comfort food in itself and makes me want to eat all the actual comfort food he talks about. Love it so much.
I love hearing that. Truly I love the way he talks about food as joyful and healing
I’d love to talk about food with Brennan, because we have almost none of the same tastes, but all the same passion. It would be a beautiful arguscussion
We need to get this man guesting on a cooking show. Any show.
We can test his “mind over stomach” theory on Hot Ones.
oh noo, he doesn't do spicy well. I have a clip for that but it didn't fit this video
I really want him on "Last Meals" on the Mythical Kitchen channel. Firstly, I'd think it'd be a great interview, second is he'd get to eat all his favorite foods :D
oh thats a good idea @@karasking4862
I'd love for the Try Guys to torture him on Without a Recipe 😂
As the friend who is always cooking to share I DREAM of hanging out with someone who is this excited about food. My white whale.
Would love to make a heavy amount of food for this man
@@whithertheywander you said it with food is my love language. It is a crime that I cannot express my enjoyment of brennan’s content by like, faxing him chili
@@kimberlyvance3131 Seriously, Dimension 20 should open up a roster of people who will just... send homemade snacks to filming sessions. 10/10 would go on a brief trip to LA (from Australia) and hire a place to stay with a kitchen if they'd be willing to film 15 seconds of the D20 team scarfing down my homemade scones or blackberry pie or nachos or whatever.
Him trying to chug that mixed drink and forgetting the amount of pop rocks that were coming is the best part.
forget playing dnd at brennan’s table, i just want the honor of cooking him a meal
this is terrific, and terrifically niche, and comforting to those of us in the venn diagram of both being very food passionate and very brennan lee mulligan oriented
I feel comforted by this video and this comment in particular.
You hit the nail on the head, and I love it ❤
Brennan walking into frame in a "capitalism is the bad guy" shirt and eating a bag of chips is peak brennan
I think I might need this for the days my eating disordered brain doesn't wanna eat. Just got me some food while I watched it till the end. Thank you
This is really all I could have dreamed of with this video. it's such a refreshing change of pace from the mean undercurrent so common in our society
I used to get really badly b-limic and had such a reward-based approach to food. And honestly, Brennan unabashedly snacking and just being so enthusiastic about food, it helped so much. The way he describes some of the foods he loves, it got me out of some bad routines. Like, nah, f-ck this, I'm having sticky toffee pudding
as a fellow food lover, nothing makes me happier than seeing people get happy about the food they're eating, so watching this video was just one big dose of serotonin for me
edit: this is missing the most recent and good installment of the description of the seafood stew and baked goods from episode 16 of worlds beyond number.... that was truly a love letter from brennan to food and it made me SO hungry
This is how I heal from existing in a society of diet culture
@whithertheywander exactly!!! you gotta love good food man!! salad and healthy foods have their place but like brownies and ice cream and deep fried stuff has its place too!!!
And soup
@@whithertheywander AND soup you're so right
And the mental image of Brennan and Izzy loving food together, and having amazing adventures of scrumptiousness all over the world? Glorious!
If weight is how Brennan determines the goodness of food, he’d fuckin love my lasagna
Edit: watching Brennan perk up whenever another person mentions a food he hasn’t tried before and he has this look of absolute wonder as if he is listening to someone recount their journey to the far reaches past the known universe, it’s magical
i remember, he told the cheesecake story on the GBBO episode of tablepop because they were rolling their dice into a cake that brennan resolved to eat after the shoot. everybody was like, the dice have contaminated the cake, let's not eat it, and brennan was like, no just avoid the top and eat through the sides!
This is soooooo comforting and healing. Love him and loooove when people openly and unapologetically and loudly love food. Killing diet culture one compilation at a time 👌👌👌
Amazing. I knew of his stance on eating as a DM or PC, but never had I thought the rabbit hole would go this far! Lovely video 😊
I'm sure I've only begun to pull the thread on this sweater :p
@@whithertheywander There's also the car crash food stories. On the Exandria DM's roundtable he's got a story about dealing with shock after a car accident by eating a pizza and a half (and also the great DM snacking rant). And in a more recent Dirty Laundry on Dropout there was a question along the lines of "Who retrieved their Milano cookies from a car wreck?" And I immediately knew it was Brennan. I was correct.
I want to find all instances of the car crash/milano/tony pepperoni story to make the conclusive version but I can think of like four without knowing for sure how to find them. thanks for the assist
brennan saying that izzy is the best and that she loves cookies, makes me believe in soulmates.
This whole video is a delight. The look of surprise and wonder when he takes that first bite of deep fried éclair is a magical thing! (Beautifully highlighted by your editorial annotations, might I add.)
he was just so sparkly about it, the video needed to match
I still feel like my one biggest regret as a 16 year old was only being able to eat 20 inches of my 22-inch meatball grinder. I could have made it, but my lunch break was over
Truly, the big takeaway from this video is so important - community is best facilitated through good, filling food. There's nothing more wholesome and fulfilling than people sharing their favorite foods and coming together to enjoy them.
as someone who just got out of treatment for anorexia, its really encouraging seeing my favorite little dude enjoy some food, thanks for making this!
honestly brennan's so real for being so passionate about latkes like there was one day i ate only latkes and it was probably one of the best days of my life i love latkes so much
and i've literally told my friends about how matzo ball soup is better than any medicine in the world lol
“You go to Little Dom’s over in Los Feliz you get the fucking chicken parm” is the most New York I’ve *ever* heard Brennan speak.
This video means so much to me. This is my roman empire. You're doing god's work.
Also can we talk about him gushing over Izzy's latkes, so cute, and like of course the Irish guy would love the potato thing
Don't mind me... 3:27, 4:18, 4:30, 16:38, 22:07, 23:33
You're my new favorite 💖
❤❤❤❤❤ I'm honored, yes I love him talking about Izzy's cooking and how much they like cookies together. You reminded me I should've pulled the potato bit from the nickname question on 99q, next time I guess. Also I love your work and made a whole squeaky noise when I saw you commented
I have a friend I've been sending these clips as I go, and I sent a screenshot of your food comments from the hour long video as proof or something
@@whithertheywanderthat's very cute/sweet of you 💜 I hope you make more things!!
This was great. I love the recent episode of Make Some Noise too where Erika gives Brennan the senior class superlative of "most almonds eaten in a day". Last night's Burrows End, where he literally had to break a scene with Izzy because he was eating a Frito as well! LOL "Mom, are you okay?" "I'm eating a Frito."
When he talks about the dumplings at 14:38 I damn near broke down. $5-20 dumplings and we'll eat like kings, and be strong for the world tomorrow...I felt that.
This man has the metabolism of the gods 😂
I…this felt very intimate and I hope he sees the compilation 😂😂😂
Nothing makes me feel more validated in my untethered love of food than this beautiful, beloved man sharing the same sentiment. Thank you, Brennan Lee Mulligan.
I have never seen this man react to his *actual wife* with this much passion and tenderness. And he loves Izzy so much you can see it from space
11:42 I know this video is about Brennan, but Aabria - WEAK Gatorade? Because she can't drink the full Gatorade? Baby, are you okay???
This compilation is matzoh ball soup for my heart
Oh, now I want matzah ball soup. *yum*
this man's intensely intimate relationship with food is truly inspiring tbh
this video is so weirdly healing? also his excitement over food tickles me so much, i want to cook for him!!!
Brennan has never met me and doesn't know that I exist... and yet with his understanding of food, he understands my soul better than anyone else on the planet.
I was expecting the Siobhan "Don't take food advice from Brennan Lee Mulligan who eats a burger every morning"
I genuinely think that the posivity and nonjudgmental vibe of this would've helped me SO much when I was first recovering from my eating disorder :D
BLeeM needs to do a cooking or mukbang stream somewhere already
👀
0:37 that “OMG” went straight to my heart
The zoom and sparkles is what happened in my head and I just had to make sure everyone else saw it too
@@whithertheywander you def hit it! 🙌🏼
I've never been so attracted to someone just eating and expressing genuine feelings about food. I've learned so much about myself tonight.
I think this genuinely healed a small part of me that struggles with food. I have a very complicated relationship with eating but this wonderful man talking about food like he lives and dies for it is so healing for the soul. I am going to go eat so many cookies now
now i want to see brennan eat his last meal on mythical kitchen what a delight that would be
Grant complaining like an old lady during the Fried Food segment is my favorite thing. He really is a grandma.
It’s a crime that his almond rant wasn’t in this compilation fbdbrbvdscsvxv
It felt too obvious somehow, everyone knows the almond rant, I might make another video with more unhinged moments
In exchange for all the delightful and enriching entertainment that Brennan has provided for me throughout the years, I feel obligated to provide him the heaviest, fattiest and most filling home cooked meal he's ever eaten. I would like to make this beautiful boy waddle chubbily away from the table. This is an open offer, someone please bring it to Brennan's attention. Honestly the whole D20 cast & crew can come too, I'll feed all of ya'll. We're talking from scratch pierogis, spicy seafood gumbo, lentil soup, stuffed mushrooms, veal meatloaf w/mushroom gravy, baked ham, scotch eggs, baked mac & cheese, my grandmother's unbeatable recipe for sage sausage stuffing, etc... It would be like Thanksgiving with none of the lame staple dishes or any family there to ruin it. Just a free-for-all orgy of gluttonous consumption. Hmu Brennan.
as long as I can help
@@whithertheywander If the whole cast and crew is coming I'll need a full kitchen staff... Your help will be invaluable 😅
Yesterday, I went out to brunch with friends. I got my first Cubano (Cuban Sandwich). (it was a Pavo [Turkey] Cubano if anyone is curious) it was THE SINGLE BEST sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. No joke. There’s half of it (and DELICIOUS chips and salsa) still left. I’m gonna eat it later, but how SPIRITUALLY I relate to Brennan’s love of good food..it just made me think of that fire ass sandwich I have awaiting me at home
oh man the best sandwiches I’ve ever had are bahn mi from Vietnam. Delicious crunchy fluffy baguette, thick layers of salty pate, and meaty ham, offset by crisp lettuce and cucumber and generous handfuls of fresh zingy cilantro seasoned with fish sauce it’s so so so so so good and heavy and light at the same time so delicious, just straight culinary perfection in a brown paper bag
i have never been as passionate about anything in my life as brennan is about food and now im inspired to Find that thing
Anyone else want to go on a road trip with Brennan just hitting all his favourite food places?
u know what, i’ve been struggling to get the energy to make myself proper food these days and this is the motivation i need to actually cook something. love this man
I believe in you
The chicken clip is one of Brennan's hottest clips of all time
Brennan's face when Siobhan talks about the Potato Waffle, is pure joy...
And his comment after this, "I need this food". It's just like magic to me!
Brennan is one of the most interesting people! He understands that food is a gift and some of the best parts of a day! As a Storteller he has that way with words!
Deep Blue Ink animated the "Heavy Meals at Empty Restaurants" conversation and it's beautiful.
I was so happy when he started talking about latkes, because the idea and approach had all felt right to me, bt up until that point, most of what he talked about wasn;t foods I really eat, but damn I love latkes. And when I first saw the How to drink episode, I was so surprised and happy to have him show up there
"that's my wife you're talking about."
yeah. this guy gets it.
I know it's been a few months since you posted this, but I want you to know this is now my comfort video during mealtimes
shoutout to erika and aabria for making him know what a mukbang is
@@whithertheywanderthey’re so rad man
i've said this before and i will say it again: brennan is an honorary member of my family and this only proves it even more
as a person with a family who cooks to show we care, he would fit right in
Brennan talking about the variations of chicken meals has the exact energy of Bert Kreischer’s “I will never stop drinking” monologue
I love when Brennan hears "potato waffle" he just goes full food gremlin mode.
I love the Overboard montage included in this. Brennan showing up on Polygon was, at the time, a big endorsement when I was still unfamiliar with what Dropout was up to. It's funny to remember a time when I recognized Brennan but NOT Lou Wilson, Zac Oyama, etc.
Theres still extended family in my house since last week, I have been stressed and unable to sleep since they visited, clip compilations like this are saving me rn
i cannot describe the sorrow and yearning hearing brennan talk about downing these different foods by the pound. i got my gallbladder removed years ago and haven't been able to truly eat since then.
This compilation made me think that I also want a compilation of Brennan talking about how much and what he loves about Izzy. Cuz every time he says her name or talks about her, the light in his eyes that was for food combines with his love for Izzy. You can tell that he absolutely LOVES her, and as a fellow Capricorn I love that for him.
his story about the cheesecake @10:14 he told on the episode of TablePop where he ran that Great British Bake-Off rpg and their dice tray was an actual ice cream cake that he also did a little hollowing of when they found out it was in fact an ice cream cake.
I have since been reminded of that, rewatched that video, and saved the bit with him eating frosting off a pencil for later
@@whithertheywanderthe bit with What
@@LostLifetimesthey're rolling into a cake and the frosting gets all uneven so they can't tell what number they rolled, so he scoops off the top layer with a pencil and goes to town on the thing
do you have tumblr or discord? I could send you clips not in youtube comments
I imagine Brennan just straight up eats like Luffy and that the only reason he works hard is to be able to afford his food budget.
Listen to Brennan talk about food feels like intruding on a private moment
A moment to point out how disgusted Grant is while everyone except him is enjoying the deep fried eclair. I love Grant so much
This is the most relatable thing I have ever had the Joy of witnessing 😂
the sheer joy emanating from him right before he threw back those first few gulps of milkshake made me hungry
amazing, 10/10, though im surprised you didnt include the clip of brennan and connie thinking instant coffee was a snack, not bc it fits the theme but bc its hilarious
Lol I remember I did the cheesecake thing once. It was a middle school play and a loaf of fancy bread. During rehearsals I hollowed the fancy bread out bit by bit then when the show actually happened I took a bite out of the loaf of bread and it was probably the loudest, crunchiest, most stale bite of bread ever. I have no idea if anybody in the audience or my scene partner noticed, but I found it really funny and it took so much willpower to not laugh out loud about it.
Brennen is a certified hobbit
Izzy looking with loving eyes at Brennan during that cheesecake story ♥️👄♥️
I shouldn't be watching this during an afternoon when I missed lunch.
Singing while eating the fried eclair. I cannot love this man more! I don't know him! This parasocial relationship needs to stop!!!!
this is a GOD TIER video to watch on my lunch break.
i love him and his food motivated self sm sighhh my favorite ❤ also thank you so much for this compilation!!!
It truly heals me, just so comforting
@@whithertheywander its so comforting like he's just like me fr 🥺
Brennan talking about sticky toffee pudding is the proudest I've ever been of my country
I appreciated the moments from Dear Hank and John as well as the Project for Awesome!
And now there's more p4a stuff for next time
@@whithertheywander lots of JARROD
This man may or may not be healing my relationship with food at least in part
WHY DIDI D SAY FOOT
