Your speech at the end hit the right spot, mate. Yesterday I was in a bad place, as dogshite as the microwave pasta, and I really needed to hear this. We are all fucking champions, people.
Life can be a w**** sometimes it'll f*** you and still charge you for it even though you never asked for it. Awareness and support can make all the difference
@@greenblack6552 Not all veg tastes awesome. It's subjective. Onions are horrible and celery is nasty, so's lettuce. Fuck that shit. But garlic to help season the food? That's the stuff. Broccoli is fine too. I'm more of a fruit person myself.
I suffer from an eating disorder and severe anxiety. Your videos have helped me to form a more healthy relationship with food again, and you make me laugh and provide some escapism from the ol' head noise. Thanks Champion 👍🏻
Fuck yes to this and fuck mental health being an awkward parasite to society It's easy to love all you champs but it's tougher to love the champ in you. Keep at it ❤️
Nat mate you’ve help so much with my mental health. You’ve showed me and so many other how much fun it is too cook. Cooking is now one of my favourite hobbies and inviting friends and family over too eat the food is just the best.
My mental health has been in the toilet recently. So I watched this tonight thinking “oh awesome another comedy cooking episode,” and it ended with being told exactly what I needed to hear rn. Thanks nat, you champion!
You're a champion for being able to talk to your friends and loved ones without feeling judged or misunderstood. For many, it takes a lot to even tell their closest loved ones what's going on, especially when they're using harmful coping mechanisms. Opening up is half the battle.
Done. The only reason this didn't take me ten minutes to cook (that's how long the sauce took) was because the only pasta I had in the house was penne rigate, and that stuff always seems to take eight billion years to cook. I think the firmer pasta stood up really well to that delicious garlicy creamy delight though, and I'm slurping down the results at a fantastic rate here. I even added vegetables, because Nat, I know you were matching the microwave crap there, but vegetables. VEGGIES, NAT. I need my veggies, so I added a few choice bits and pieces from the garden. Lovely lunch in this crappy humid overcast weather we're having (Brisbane weather looks suspiciously like Melbourne weather lately, it's weird). Quick and easy so no excessive sweating over the stove, light, delicious, satisfying. And I can hide the leftovers from my kids in the back of the fridge for tomorrow's lunch. Winning.
As soon as you drop-kicked the packet away I said to myself, “He’s gonna need the instructions off of that, isn’t he?” Because I do the exact same thing every time the packet has cooking instructions on it 😂
You drop kick it? That's weird. I usually just fuck up by throwing it out and having to pull it out of the bin. Sometimes more than once, because I'm extra special sometimes.
I wasn't aware of your presence while you were posting these, but I'm totally addicted now. Your message about mental health still resonates. Thank you for being a great educator, providing many laughs, and for being a great human.
My anxiety and depression have been absolutely destroying me lately. I know I’ll make it through but I am fucking struggling. I needed that message at the end, Nat. You made me cry. I hope you and everyone else are doing okay. One day at a time. I am also up my own fucking ass about my cooking.
"Shall we cook something that doesn't taste like a goblin's wallet?" *roll constitution saving throw, and wisdom saving throw against frightened* (geddit?) Thanks Nat, always appreciate you. Happy world mental health day from one champion to another
As a fellow metalhead with severe mental health issues, it's great to see someone like yourself open up like that, sometimes it feels like we have to be ballsy about this shit but it should never be that way, we are only human afterall, so thank you for lending your voice on the matter good sir, your speech at the end there was what I needed to hear not only today but everyday. Take care of yourself champion and FUCK PACKET FOOD!!!
Ok... I legit almost cried when you started talking about mental health at the end.. Because i try to talk with my pals about shit. They always say "We're here for you!"... But then they never are, for me at least. I deal with it a lot... And I mean a lot. I love you buddy. You're not alone either. I got a concussion last week at work.. Still haven't seen a doctor. Keep it up bro! You kick ass with this, and I love how you swear as much as I do. lmfao
Hi mate how are you? Well i hope you are doing well. Listen there are support systems to professional help, you DO need to see you doctor. Dont let this time define you, its just a phase and it can be overwhelming, Aussies tend to turn to booze and drugs, i know i have and do.... but please, see your quack.. its not a weakness mate, but its hard to see the light sometimes at the end of the tunnel. I work in mental health, we all have our storys, its what makes us us.... you cant fix short term problems with long term solutions. Please, you will look back and laugh some day, cause if you dont you will cry. But like a carpenter you will need some tool on your belt and a GOOD professional can help you find them.
Friends don't know how to help, that's why they say they are there for you but don't seem to be. Tell your friends what they can do to help. That may just be listening to you when you talk. Or, on this occasion, going with you to the doctor to make sure you're ok.
Damn dude, I think a lot of people needed to hear that at the end. I joined the US Air Force because of 9/11. We kinda messed up on that stuff. A lot of people are down because of how it went. Not just americans, our friends as well. Just want to remind everyone, you are all bloody champions!
First time watching, I asked for recommendations on facebook and was sent this link. I have not tried it but this content is pure gold and I'm certain I will fall in a rabbit hole of watching these for the rest of the weekend. Thanks!
I have to say, the look on Nat's face at 0:13 and the way he talks reminds me exactly of my aunt who absolutely DESPISES packet foods and jar sauces and it just hit me with such a nostalgia trip-
Dude, Nat, I know you'll probably never see this, but I was today year's old when I made my first jar sauce free alfredo and it's all because of this video. Thank you good sir 👍🏻 was a beauty.
As always, a great and funny video. Love your work mate and good for you for pushing mental health in this video. As we know, mental health is an epidemic in this country and the more we can talk about it without shame, the better we will become.
Legit one of my male role models, for how positive you are and how open and accepting you are of mental health struggles. Thanks for making us feel like champions.
Been watching your videos over here in the UK all through lockdown. Cheered me up a lot. Great video as usual and great humour with a nice honest touch at the end. Please keep the cooking videos coming, I am sure I speak for thousands when I say, we love em. Great work
Thanks for the laughs, Nat. I work in mental health and have fought with my own for decades. I appreciate your cooking as an outlet. I use cooking to help distract my mind from itself. Much love to you, friend.
So, I am finding your videos a little late but, I am binging the absolute shit out of them. You're killing it dude and making food look fun. Thanks for all that you do.
Nat u are a bloody champion, I bought your book and have watched every video you have uploaded, u have helped me get through so much just by being real, raw and all round bloody awesome. Thankyou legend
Definitely needed that message at the end. I have been interviewing for jobs since February, and I really thought I had this one role in the bag. It came down to me and another person. I expected to hear back from them on Friday, but they gave the role to the other person. The lockdown and the loneliness just made the whole thing worse. But, I'm getting back out there. One step at a time. By doing what makes me happy.
When I was first looking for work that happened to me a couple of times, just me and one other. For me it was always that they thought I lived too far away. It's almost an inner suburb now but back then city types thought it was the bush! Anyway ended up getting a great job in the public service which was my cup of tea. So keep on smiling. You'll get there.
I noticed I've started calling a looot of my clients champions when I'm instructing them in their fitness classes....it's a bang up term of endearment and encouragement, thanks Nat.
Really love watching your videos! And thank you for your message at the end about mental health! Thank you for sharing your fair share of crap in the noggin, you are a champion brother! 🤘

Thank you for being a champion! I'm so grateful that you're here with us, reminding us not only how awesome we can be at cooking, but also reminding us that we're not alone. Thank you!
This is the first video of yours I've seen and I'm feeling immensely grateful to the friend who recommended your channel. Liked, subscribed, and turned notifications on. Looking forward to whatever more you share with us!
This shit used to bring me to years as a kid. Hated the stuff, didn't want to eat it. Will have to try yours now that I'm a grown adult who cooks with actual ingredients
Your speech at the end hit the right spot, mate. Yesterday I was in a bad place, as dogshite as the microwave pasta, and I really needed to hear this.

New phrase collected. "Tastes like a goblin's wallet."
Merch request please!
Lol im also adopting that into my vocabulary.
Fucking sensational new addition

Lost it at that point. Just the deadpan delivery. Then coughed up half a lung.

Every day. Straight up.
In the words of Uncle Roger, "it tastes like sad".

"Shitload parmesan"
You're a champingon after my own heart, Nat.
I love your videos… Greetings from Germany!
I had to order a new measuring container that went up to "shitloads" 😆
Don't forget the "fackin buatttaarrr" cheers from Canada
Because garlic isn’t measured in cloves or bulbs, it’s measured with heart
Actually welled up when you spoke about mental health and said we’re champions. Thank you x
I suffer from an eating disorder and severe anxiety. Your videos have helped me to form a more healthy relationship with food again, and you make me laugh and provide some escapism from the ol' head noise. Thanks Champion 👍🏻
The heartfeltedness of your mental health message was needed today. Thanks
Nat your a champion, thank you so much for being so honest about your mental health. You are a bloody legend. Thank you for always being so real

Thank you for talking about your mental health. It’s about time we changed the dialogue and attitudes towards mental health here in Australia.
The grinder thrown on the pasta almost killed me tbh.
Great message, keep up the good stuff.
My mental health has been in the toilet recently. So I watched this tonight thinking “oh awesome another comedy cooking episode,” and it ended with being told exactly what I needed to hear rn.
