Simon and Martina seeing you love making food videos, which I love to watch. I was thinking could you do a food challenge, for example a follow send you a recipe and you have 30 minutes to put it all together . Please and thank you
i second that. maybe when they make a fan meeting in spain. it is not too far from where i live. well it is still far but nothing like flying to japan. although one of my life goals is going to japan some day. but i have to sort some things out in my life first. well back to building the ladder.
I know, right? As a fellow Polish who was born in another country (so I only learned and spoke Polish to my parents), I can relate sooo well haha. It sounds wrong but right... and I know I must sound the same when talking to my mum :D
Ahhhh thank you! I made it because people were saying the links to our end videos would cover up our faces, but I still wanted it to be a cute fun end screen (with some inside jokes)
The past couple of videos she is definitely looking really good. Would be curious to know if she has made some change to her skin care routine or what.
@@cetriyasArtnComicsChannel Canadian here. :) We do have more regulations for certain foods; less hormones in our dairy and beef, and less foods with HFCS. I believe trans fats are getting banned from packaged foods next year? (if I'm wrong someone pls correct me!) When I go to the states the one thing I noticed right away are portion sizes...they're huge in comparison! lol
whenever i miss them, i would binger watch every single one of their videos. just like what im doing now hahahah. i cant even remember how many times i've rewatched this but i still get excited. been watching them since i was 14 or 15. i love them so much 💓✨ even though a lot of things happened that we dont know about ima stay here hihi
I love these little hidden gems. That’s what I remember when I was in Japan a few years ago. The hidden places that the locals visit not the touristy stops. You’re such an adorable couple. I feel the love❤️💖 Also love the editing as always. You put so much love and hard work into it😘👏Thank you and wish you a lovely evening.
I had a lot of trouble building my ladder today after pushing my body to the limits arranging modifications to make my new place disabled accessible, it's been a struggle, but I appreciate the little things. I'm grateful for things like this video that can distract from my chronic pain and flare-ups. Thanks for being awesome! 💖
Per your recommendation, we just tried Coco Curry tonight for dinner in Akihabara, and I felt pretty good trying a level 4 spiciness because I grew up eating spicy Asian food at home and am no slouch. But holy hell was a level 4 spicy. I don’t know how you guys do it a level 10. I couldn’t even finish my curry it was so spicy. Like acid/heartburn spicy. Level 10 sounds like crazy town!
My best friend's dad killed himself recently. I introduced her to your videos hoping to cheer her up and so she can figure out how to build her own ladder as well.
I love the more casual style of your videos lately! It feels more like we are following you along your adventures.Which I appreciate on days like this when I can barely make it out of my recliner because of body aches. PS. I am currently fostering 3 kittens and a mama cat I found in my attic. I am cozied up to adorable kittens while I watch your video. A sure cure for a crap pain day. I may re-name the one that is currently nicknamed Chubbs to Oden because he is a chunky boy with a great love for food. Plus people will think it is a cool norse mythology thing but in reality, FOOD!
I may not have ladder emojis yet but i would love for you guys to know, y'all are a true inspiration! I've been pretty down with the cold weather, and it's not a good combination with my Rheumatoid Arthritis but watching your videos have reminded me I'm not alone. Thank you so much Simon and Martina 💕🦆🦆🦆 Gotta get on that ladder again.
Truly the contacts bring out martina's eyes. They are so sparkly like a little puppy. You may be hurting girl, but your attitude is a radiant star 😊 Thank you to the both of you for always making smiles.
Oh wow that lighting in made Martina's eyes look striking. They reminded me of super polished blackish blue stones. Super pretty and I had to go back because I was distracted and missed the very start of the video.
I saw this when this was uploaded a year ago. Now I'm in Japan and I just had oden for the first time. It really is delicious and perfect for cold weather. Thanks Simon and Martina for the video!!!!
After a long day at work it was nice to come home and watch this. Made me forget all my troubles and just laugh. Seriously needed it. Thanks guys, you're both awesome.
You are looking gorgeous in this video Martina! I especially love your hair down for a change. Building my own ladder here and loving your guts most of all! 🥰 💪🏻 🙏
I was in Tokyo two weekends ago and a guy who worked at the hostel I stayed at in Shimokita took me out for dinner, we went to a local izakaya and ate something and I had no idea what that is, now I know that it was Oden!!
I want to say thank you for posting such wonderful content that helps to brighten my days and educate me. You are such valuable people that the world so desperately needs. 💚💚
This is a really cool feature. I kinda noticed that you guys get to test a lot of TH-cam's beta features like the donates for streams or trhe stories. I don't know if you mentioned it it how did you guys manage to be one of the first for a lot lot of these before they go in to beta?
Great question! We've just been with the platform for a long time, and we've met different people working at TH-cam from the different events we've done, like FanFest, Music Awards, Creator Summit etc. And we keep in contact with those people. And if they ask if we're interested in testing something out for them, we usually say yes, because we want to help try to make this platform better. TH-cam has done a lot for us, by building technology that has changed our lives to something we never dreamed of when we were kids; we'd like to do what we can to repay them. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but from our many years of working with them, the people working at TH-cam are really goodhearted people.
@@eatyourkimchi that completely makes sense. I know TH-cam has its issues and as a whole can have problems with the community, but most of the time when I hear about invdivuals works at or for TH-cam interacting with the community, it's usually always them trying there best to right a wrong. All in all a lot of the individuals in TH-cam are great and some ever friends of mine, out of proxy of living close to one of there hqs for a bit. And I also understand why you would say yes to help the platform out. While not a creator on here (as least not a stable one) I've been on here as a consumer of the videos for at least 15 years, and I do genuinely want to see the platform grow for the better, and try new things. So I guess, I'm also saying thank you to you guys for helping out.
i was so pissed to have to wake up up early for class registration (didnt even get the classes i wanted) but this video definitely cheered me up with the sperm sack and tanuki ball jokes!! ya girl loves bad dirty humor :))))
Don't give up! Many times people drop close to the start of the new semester. Sit and watch the classes every day, get on the wait list if you can be #1-3 and be patient! You'll get in!
I didn’t get into the classes I wanted but I got this app called Coursicle and it has saved my life. If you go to a major university you can pay $5 and it tells you exactly when a class is open. If you want to try it out the first class is free. Just trying to help a nasty out 💙💙
Omg gurl same, except for me my advisor didn’t initiate my class registration until I went into her office asking why :( so now I’m planning some courses elsewhere 😤
To be honest, you don't look like you are in pain, Martina. So kudos to you! Thank you for giving us a lovely video, despite all the pain. You are strength personified! =) also, ive been watching your videos for a few years now, you're getting more and more beautiful. =) ❤
Loved this video Simon and Martina! Martina I'm always so proud of you for building your ladder. Here in the Northeast coast of the US, the weather is getting worse and for me that has meant a lot of joint pain, but eating good food and spending time with loved ones makes it easier to build a ladder!! That and watching your videos of course
I have great respect for you Martina with going out and building your ladder, and you Simon, even when you are both in pain. I have been dealing with a lot of sciatic and lower back pain recently, and not wanting to go anywhere cause it hurts, but then I think of you both, and I am reminded that going out can bring happiness, but staying in sometimes is ok too :3
You guys are so wonderful, and such an inspiration for me to keep pursuing my dream. Martina, you really inspire me to keep working towards my goals. Simon, your supportive attitude helps me stay positive and support my own husband in what he does. Love you guys!
I haven't been around for too terribly long in your community, but I love watching your guys format grow and progress!! Not only is your skill growing, but so is your connection with your community. Your openness and total realness keeps you down to earth, in my eyes. It makes your content completly relatable and enjoyable for someone who lives in the middle of Indiana. Your advocacy for mental and physical health is also so amazing and empowering!! I just love you guys all the way around, for absolutely everything you post!!!
That looks like the perfect winter food 😍 yummy broth, delicious tofu and the fishsperm as the cherry on the top 😂 Love you guys! So inspired and amazed by how strong Martina is! You go girl and build that ladder ❤️ I don't normally comment much on videos, but I wanted to let you guys know, that I think you're amazing and I've been watching your videos for so many years now, Simon had no beard and Martina had short hair when I found you! 😁 I hope I'll be able to support you guys a little better soon because you make me laugh when I don't even feel like smiling ❤️
Something I learned from all these years watching Simon and Martina is to ALWAYS use headphones or things can get real awkward.... that being said, I love you guys, your videos always make my day 😘😘
@8:49 I love this bit - was watching in work at lunch (very quiet lunch room) and in the split second i laughed but the was like "no laughter they'll hear you" tried to stop it and ended up snorting like an over excited pig ahahahahah
@@Aquariuspeg But dumpling have some kind of a filling and kopytka doesn't have any fillling. It's a dough made from mixing cooked potatos with flour and eggs so it's more a noodle then a dumpling
@@CiotkaGada it doesn't have to have a filling. It's true that Polish traditional dumpling are stuffed, but there is for example sth called "gnocchi" from Croatia which is considered to be a type of dumpling. And it resembles "lane kluski". EDIT: I just checked "kopytka" in google search and they're always called "potato dumplings". But I think it's more of a semantic difference, everyone has their own criteria what to call a noodle an what to call a dumpling.
@@Aquariuspeg I agree that it's semantics because the word kluski doesn't have ane equivalent in english language. Kluska isn't a noodle or dumpling, it's something in between and Kopytka is a type of kluska so lets invent a word noompling and it will be closer to the truth :P There is a sweet version of kopytka called leniwe that cen be translated lazys because how easy it is to make. Instead of potatos mix cottage chees and when they are ready pour melted butter and sprinkle powdered sugar on them. Simple and delicious
Oh I'm from Croatia and I can't remember the name right now (kinda late) but I usually call them fingers (cuz they look like chopped off fingers) but we eat em with creme fraiche :D (and sugar) love em, so tasty!
I've been struggling the past couple months with my migraines and fibromyalgia. It's so nice to see someone still living their best life! Role model queen and king!
I cant believe it!!! I am finally able to comment on you tube, which I wasn't able to do before. My very first comment ever ever on youtube and is going to be for my favorite youtubers the entire Stawski Family. Simon and Martina, my fiance aljun and I watch you all the time. Thank you so much for all the joy that you have brought into our world.
I love these videos with the more relaxed chill vibe where you guys just go to a local shop and talk about dumb shit and bicker with each other. I hope I can do that one day with a Ducky of my own :3
I love Simon speaking Polish and living through his Polish heritage. As a Polish person it warms my heart and makes even more happy and excited to watch the videos
If you're weirded out by the idea of eating a fish's sperm sack, just remember that eggs are technically a chicken's period and people eat that practically every day. Ironically enough, the sperm sack tastes like an egg yolk.
isalesme Hens and other birds dont menstruate, and got no periods. So technically its wrong to say "chickens period" eggs are eggs! :) funny thing about the sperm sack tho xD
@@ostepoppher They're comparative because they're both stages of an unfertilized reproductive cycle. The shell gland of the chicken is also sometimes referred to as the uterus, and the expulsion of the shell and the unfertilized blastula is the expulsion of uterine products and the unfertilized ovum. While they don't have complete anatomical overlap, it's not an incorrect comparison.
@@ostepoppher I think it's a great comparison since the chicken eggs we consume are unfertilized ones much like our own that are expelled from our body during our periods.
While the video was playing I was going to comment on how you were doing. Glad to see that you built up enough energy and motivated yourself to just get out there and do it.
I noticed it too. I think shes wearing "big eyes" coloured contact lens . Its very common and popular in Asian countries. I used to wear them all the time
Waiting for the video by moonlight Winning life by daylight Maybe never running to a real fight We are the ones named Na-asties 🎶 Definitely excited for the upcoming video!
From an English viewer you need to add an ‘is’ after the second ‘that’. E.g. “that’s crackin that is”. But maybe it’s a personal choice or a colloquialism
You guys are so great to watch! I especially love your food videos because it made me get really into food and really appreciate it more, now I not only try to eat better food I've put way more effort into my cooking and baking. Love you guys!!!
I’m trying to build a ladder too! You guys cheer me up! I’m having my second kidney surgery Wednesday. The first one was only 3 weeks ago! I have Neuropathy and spinal arthritis in top of my bum kidney, so it’s been hard to get my ladder built. Just wanted to thank y’all for being so awesome and making me feel like I’m not alone in my chronic pain journey!
This video was great! I love how it cut to Simon asking his parents about the noodles and the oden looked yummy! I’m happy Martina pushed through to build a ladder and I hope she feels better today. Love you two!
Martina you looked so cute today you don't even know. So glad you built a ladder and got out of the house. It's easy when you have chronic pain to just shy away and not go anywhere.
Damn you guys talking about the sperm sacks actually made me want to try it, how weird is that lol Before I would just think it was gross lol That amount of Japanese food and the whole mood of this video is really heartwarming. I just love how these izakayas are so ingrained in their culture and make you feel like you're eating at friend's house, it's an interesting atmosphere.
I love you guys! Simon's parents also seem like the best. Hope I can get to Tokyo next time I get back to Japan. Every video makes me start planning my next trip.
I'm Russian, and I love how I can understand every other word your parents say. Kopitka in Russian means little hoof. I, personally have never had them but they sound like gnocchi
My mother learned Russian in school and had some Polish relatives on her father's side. As long as they were all speaking clearly and somewhat slowly they could understand each other without any issues.
As far as I know (never made it ,only saw my mom doing that) you mix boiled potatoes, eggs, flour and salt. And then you roll the dough into a thick noodle and cut into those trapeze-shaped dumplings.
I really love how casual this video is. I love that you were totally okay being wrong and corrected yourself later. It's so familiar and includes the audience.

Also TH-cam please don't demonetize this we're talking about food here FOOD this isn't sexual!!
Yes. Yes it is. 😉

Well, it would be Simon's fault. That "warm semen" comment at the end clearly sounds like sex tourism.
Food Porn at it's best. 😂
Simon and Martina seeing you love making food videos, which I love to watch. I was thinking could you do a food challenge, for example a follow send you a recipe and you have 30 minutes to put it all together . Please and thank you
The food was great but Simon you look RIPPED. Just shredded. What an absolute unit.
Thank you! I’m not there yet, but I’m working on it :)
@@eatyourkimchi How's your ankle Simon?
Simon and Martina are too pure for this world 💖
Life goal, to meet them.

The way he let her have the Nut Sack even thought he loves it....❤️
Nice work copying what Simon said about Martina 👍🏽‼️💯😕
I would LOVE to meet them!
There a gasssy duo!!!!!be carful what you ask for they been banned from 8 different restaurants for there flatulent nature....
I love hearing Simon speak Polish xD reminds me of my younger brother trying to speak Bosnian lol
I know, right? As a fellow Polish who was born in another country (so I only learned and spoke Polish to my parents), I can relate sooo well haha. It sounds wrong but right... and I know I must sound the same when talking to my mum :D
Reminds me of my hubamds grandfather.
I love Simon's parents so much
I love that end-screen so much, especially Spudgy up in heaven 💕 He's watching over his mum and dad, keeping them safe whilst they eat fish sperm
Ahhhh thank you! I made it because people were saying the links to our end videos would cover up our faces, but I still wanted it to be a cute fun end screen (with some inside jokes)
Hey, I was wondering if Martina changed her skincare since she came to japan? I would be interested if she'd maybe make a video about it.
The past couple of videos she is definitely looking really good. Would be curious to know if she has made some change to her skin care routine or what.

Something I learned from all these years watching Simon and Martina is to ALWAYS use headphones or things can get real awkward.... that being said, I love you guys, your videos always make my day 😘😘
"Go to Japan. Go Ja-pantless."
-Simon
See, I would have taught English in Japan if they only used that slogan.
@8:49 I love this bit - was watching in work at lunch (very quiet lunch room) and in the split second i laughed but the was like "no laughter they'll hear you" tried to stop it and ended up snorting like an over excited pig ahahahahah
Kopytka literally means hooves because those are noodles that look like hooves
Can we call them "noodles" tho? I feel like, considering the potato in the recipe, they should rather be called dumplings.
@@Aquariuspeg But dumpling have some kind of a filling and kopytka doesn't have any fillling. It's a dough made from mixing cooked potatos with flour and eggs so it's more a noodle then a dumpling
@@CiotkaGada it doesn't have to have a filling. It's true that Polish traditional dumpling are stuffed, but there is for example sth called "gnocchi" from Croatia which is considered to be a type of dumpling. And it resembles "lane kluski".
EDIT: I just checked "kopytka" in google search and they're always called "potato dumplings". But I think it's more of a semantic difference, everyone has their own criteria what to call a noodle an what to call a dumpling.
@@Aquariuspeg I agree that it's semantics because the word kluski doesn't have ane equivalent in english language. Kluska isn't a noodle or dumpling, it's something in between and Kopytka is a type of kluska so lets invent a word noompling and it will be closer to the truth :P There is a sweet version of kopytka called leniwe that cen be translated lazys because how easy it is to make. Instead of potatos mix cottage chees and when they are ready pour melted butter and sprinkle powdered sugar on them. Simple and delicious
Oh I'm from Croatia and I can't remember the name right now (kinda late) but I usually call them fingers (cuz they look like chopped off fingers) but we eat em with creme fraiche :D (and sugar) love em, so tasty!
I've been struggling the past couple months with my migraines and fibromyalgia. It's so nice to see someone still living their best life! Role model queen and king!
Thank you for embracing Japan and not being the typical squeamish Caucasians. Nothing seems wasted on you guys.
I cant believe it!!! I am finally able to comment on you tube, which I wasn't able to do before. My very first comment ever ever on youtube and is going to be for my favorite youtubers the entire Stawski Family. Simon and Martina, my fiance aljun and I watch you all the time. Thank you so much for all the joy that you have brought into our world.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing your first TH-cam comment with us! I'm so happy you and Aljun enjoy our videos. :)
i speak ukrainian and i understood almost everything you said in polish 😃
and my mom makes kopytka as well😁
Martina, I love your white scarf! On a cold night oden must be a wonderful thing to eat to keep you warm!
Aaaaaa give it to me nooow. But awesome to come back home in the evening when I know there is a new S&M video. No, wait, that sounds wrong.....
I love these videos with the more relaxed chill vibe where you guys just go to a local shop and talk about dumb shit and bicker with each other. I hope I can do that one day with a Ducky of my own :3
More Polish! I'd be happy if this turned into Eat Your Pierogi!
The contacts looks great on you Martina! いい感じよ！🤗
I literally LOLd when you put comment about the Buffy musical episode
fredrick carling Buffy Fan in the house?!
So we will walk through the fire and let it...
SPERRRRRRRRRRM!
LeadWithLove That just made my evening! 😂 🔥 ✝️
You just made mine! Had completely forgotten about all the sperm jokes. I think this sperm's mostly filler.
I love Simon speaking Polish and living through his Polish heritage. As a Polish person it warms my heart and makes even more happy and excited to watch the videos
If you're weirded out by the idea of eating a fish's sperm sack, just remember that eggs are technically a chicken's period and people eat that practically every day. Ironically enough, the sperm sack tastes like an egg yolk.
isalesme ...I can't believe I'm craving a semen sack right now.
isalesme Hens and other birds dont menstruate, and got no periods. So technically its wrong to say "chickens period" eggs are eggs! :) funny thing about the sperm sack tho xD
@@ostepoppher They're comparative because they're both stages of an unfertilized reproductive cycle. The shell gland of the chicken is also sometimes referred to as the uterus, and the expulsion of the shell and the unfertilized blastula is the expulsion of uterine products and the unfertilized ovum. While they don't have complete anatomical overlap, it's not an incorrect comparison.
Well... Gonna be looking at my scrambled eggs a little differently
@@ostepoppher I think it's a great comparison since the chicken eggs we consume are unfertilized ones much like our own that are expelled from our body during our periods.
While the video was playing I was going to comment on how you were doing. Glad to see that you built up enough energy and motivated yourself to just get out there and do it.
Ok please tell me I'm not the only one seeing this. Martina has anime eyes!
Donatssu YES! I’ve been searching for this comment. I was thinking how can I be the only one to notice?! But I’m glad I’m not alone.
I noticed it too. I think shes wearing "big eyes" coloured contact lens . Its very common and popular in Asian countries. I used to wear them all the time
@@2lmkerns If anime became real, this is what real anime eyes would look like
@@laylajay2242 They definitely look good. I can see why they'd be popular. They're cute moe eyes :)
Circle lenses maybe?
Japantless and Simon's happy, evil laugh
I’ve been a subscriber since you two had 52,000 subscribers.
Holy shit that’s a loooooong time ago! Thank you for all your years of service!
Simon and Martina I love your videos because they are so unique. You two are amazing.
Martina is a rockstar. She gives me strength. I love you both! ❤
Prepping snacks for this. Thanks for the heads up.
Oohhh...excellent idea 💡
I’m eating breakfast during this haha
Uhm.. snacks were long gone before the video started lol
You two are so cute together, it really makes your videos all that more enjoyable to watch
Waiting for the video by moonlight
Winning life by daylight
Maybe never running to a real fight
We are the ones named Na-asties 🎶
Definitely excited for the upcoming video!
friends tomodachi When Sailor moon and Nasties collide 🤣
I LOVE THIS, I LOVE YOU.
怖がらないで食べてくれる姿勢が好き。
From an English viewer you need to add an ‘is’ after the second ‘that’. E.g. “that’s crackin that is”. But maybe it’s a personal choice or a colloquialism
Scarlett Small both work! But Simons accent was really awful... 😂
Love this time of year, yummy stews and chowders in cold winter Canadian weather. Thanks for sharing another great video
Ohh in germany we call those noodles 'Schupfnudeln' which is one of my favourite words bc I think it's just funny.
How do you pronounce that
@@hs-ism maybe like "shoopfnoodlen"
Meine Oma hat immer Bubespitzle gesagt 😂
You guys are so great to watch! I especially love your food videos because it made me get really into food and really appreciate it more, now I not only try to eat better food I've put way more effort into my cooking and baking. Love you guys!!!
Gurrrrrrl. I get you and that Daikon love. Daikon is too good when cooked.
Right?! It soaks up all the broth it’s being cooked in and BAM magic vegetable 😊
I’m trying to build a ladder too! You guys cheer me up! I’m having my second kidney surgery Wednesday. The first one was only 3 weeks ago! I have Neuropathy and spinal arthritis in top of my bum kidney, so it’s been hard to get my ladder built. Just wanted to thank y’all for being so awesome and making me feel like I’m not alone in my chronic pain journey!
Whenever I see people eat blowfish, all I can think of is the Simpson: poison, poison, poison... tasty fish!
This video was great! I love how it cut to Simon asking his parents about the noodles and the oden looked yummy! I’m happy Martina pushed through to build a ladder and I hope she feels better today. Love you two!
Hope Martina didn't injure any more cobblestones exiting the Izakaya...
Martina you looked so cute today you don't even know. So glad you built a ladder and got out of the house. It's easy when you have chronic pain to just shy away and not go anywhere.
Damn you guys talking about the sperm sacks actually made me want to try it, how weird is that lol Before I would just think it was gross lol That amount of Japanese food and the whole mood of this video is really heartwarming. I just love how these izakayas are so ingrained in their culture and make you feel like you're eating at friend's house, it's an interesting atmosphere.
YESS the musical episode in Buffy was EVERYTHING
missed the premiere by a hair. hope to catch the next one
I love you guys! Simon's parents also seem like the best. Hope I can get to Tokyo next time I get back to Japan. Every video makes me start planning my next trip.
ODEN without egg is NOT ODEN.
Sometime, this happens😱
Martina! Your makeup is so cute and fresh. Your eyes look happy and bright.
New bullet point on my bucket list: try fish sperm sacks in japan
It's honestly delicious we just need to work on the rebranding...starting with, let's not call it WHITE CHILDREN
Where do you live btw? Its quite normal here in Japan^^/
I LOVE KOPYTKA, it actually mean "small hooves" because they suppose to have hoove-like shape.
I'm Russian, and I love how I can understand every other word your parents say. Kopitka in Russian means little hoof. I, personally have never had them but they sound like gnocchi
My mother learned Russian in school and had some Polish relatives on her father's side.
As long as they were all speaking clearly and somewhat slowly they could understand each other without any issues.
As far as I know (never made it ,only saw my mom doing that) you mix boiled potatoes, eggs, flour and salt. And then you roll the dough into a thick noodle and cut into those trapeze-shaped dumplings.
I really love how casual this video is. I love that you were totally okay being wrong and corrected yourself later. It's so familiar and includes the audience.
Trying to figure out why no video is playing then looks in description face palm. Was reloading multiple times guess it has been that kind of day.
Hereforthepeanuts it’s okay, I did the same thing lol
Me too! 😂😂😂
"This is my verse, hello!" I love the Buffy musical~ Good choice!
