I adore it when Brad gets geeky about anything, but him running around the garden spouting off about trees is pure special interest-ass joy. What a guy.

[@sapphicpotato]

It makes me so sad when Brad says Shut Up to himself. You know it comes from repeatedly hearing it from others. We love all your tangents and ramblings and never want you to shut up. We're here for this, Brad! Please don't shut up!

[@teilani_ayures]

it's literally what we're here for lmao

[@applegal3058]

"Brad Soils Himself in the Garden" is the immature humour that i appreciate from this channel lol

[@kyleclerc8099]

The Booty candle was neglected so she cursed your containers with cracks. She is a cheeky one.

[@bradleone]

Love her

[@mrt0ab]

If only I had some psychedelics before this, what a show it would have been. I saw Brad and just went in, pure hearted.

[@captainkaleb]

Brad is like if someone gave a golden retriever speed, just 200% pure unfocused energy.

[@applegal3058]

​​@@captainkalebyes! Brad is just pure joy and complete lack of focus.

[@bradleone]

Sounds so bad when you put it this way ! I focus guys ! lol

[@void.reality]

@@bradleone "Focus Brad!" is literally one of your catchphrases. :) Keep being you Brad!

[@bobbyhill1013]

I got lucky 😂. Perfect timing

[@ishoulduserumble]

Dude! i didn't know i could eat these. Gonna grab some from the tree to preserve this afternoon!

[@Chizzard]

Brad, your videos got me through Covid, during that initial two week shutdown I tapped into my acid supply, and tripped sack watching your videos… I cannot stop now, and I applaud your starting your own channel. I saw you were in buffalo for a game a couple months after you were here and it made me sad. I would have bought a ticket just to see you there. Love all you do, and specifically love the outdoors videos you do.

[@ericsarault6917]

That Yoshi sound during the licking! 🤣

[@suzihelbling2340]

Came here for this comment!

[@pennehoesje]

I hear that Zelda music, can't hide it from me BRAD

[@stormeegabriel4244]

I hate playing the "is it leaking or am I crazy game" almost as fun as the "what's in your mouth game" we play with the dogs and the kids when they were babies lol

[@MyOtherGames]

Loving the random Sekiro music at the start

[@officialblakethompson]

Based

[@RobertHornbek]

I came to the comments to bring this up 😂

[@ZeyadAlmat]

Beautiful video as always, Brad. One of the only hosts of a show that integrate the people behind the camera, makes the show feel much more warm and cohesive!

[@Stephenfrijoles]

Lmao the Wind Waker music when he's picking the peddles

[@hlacoille]

Let’s hurry up and get Brad to 1 million subscribers. Not because I want you to be a slave to work/KZbin. But because you deserve it.

[@Chet_Thornbushel]

Funnnn! I’ll definitely do this next spring(our magnolias already bloomed for the year). Doing little things like this is what makes life special and connects you with your home, your land, your community, etc. It may feel a little “niche” because it is a small project with a sort of obscure ingredient but damn if this isn’t exactly the kind of stuff that people ought to be exploring 🖤

[@obancameron]

Awesome episode, perfect editing and hosting combined with fresh ingredients and humor.

[@jahalaboy5185]

Love the Windwaker Music nice touch feels comfy!!

[@peterg9948]

Editor went off this episode!!!

[@jordanbridges]

I love the "Wind Waker" music 🎶

[@Bluecow42]

I'm pretty sure it's from the newer game Sea of Stars, but I could be wrong. Killer soundtrack. Definitely has a Windwaker vibe to it though.

[@officialblakethompson]

@@Bluecow42 Wind Waker :)

[@Bluecow42]

@@officialblakethompson Ah, right you are. I could only remember the main theme and forgot about the Dragon Roost song. I still recommend the Sea of Stars soundtrack though haha.

[@Draking15]

love the zelda music playing in the background.

[@mjt888]

Love you Brad. Enjoy everything you do and all your creations. What were those other things you were growing 🤭🤭🤭

[@BigAlsBBQ]

Jeez I love watching Brad. If I ever got to speak to him I doubt I would get a word in edge ways but I wouldnt mind. Keep these video coming Brad!!

[@maximebrissac1775]

Brad was definitely high for that one and I absolutely love it!!!

[@bradleone]

I’ve been high for almost 3 decades ❤

[@gabdevo]

so cool!!!!? i used to watch brad a few years ago but i am back after seeing him featured at smosh. FEELS GOOD TO BE HOME

[@katiecramer6380]

This was great content and recipe development! But the editing and music selection really did it for me!! Great job teams

[@lemon420]

If only you had been a month earlier! I live in the Netherlands so our enormous magnolia tree in our garden has long finished blooming. Nice recipe though! Definitely going to try it next year

[@Gmentality69]

The Bee movie joke sent me

[@JaySay]

Brad out here starting his own Pear orchard.😂 And pickled magnolia sounds great! I'm sure Brad did it before, but my Dad used to have my brother and me go out right before the dandelions around us would open up and cut out a good handful of them. Slightly bitter, but good on a salad with a light vinaigrette.

[@scottrandall2019]

Just can't get enough of Brad.

[@BobaPhettamine]

7:32 the kitchen has definitely been sabotaged 🤣

[@studio.deveau]

In the words of Shaggy, a mentor of mine, "It Wasn't Me."

[@bradleone]

suuuuuuure ian

[@juhwankim2000]

With all the ideas that Brad has he should open up one of those restaurants where the chef chooses what to make for the day so it's a constant changing menu with experimental flavors

[@IsabelMaternowski]

LOVE YOU BRAD!!!! THANK YOU FOR THE BEST CONTENT ON THE KZbinS!!! keep on keeping on!! Your videos have helped me through some hard ass times. You remind me of my goofy family! Wish you the best thank you for all the joy, laughs and genuinely good viibes!!!

[@BrandiBenson]

“Our birds’ heads are fallin off!” Love the dumb & dumber reference in the midst of probable (likely) kitchen sabotage

[@miniRILLO]

I just found your channel and I'm really loving digging into the older videos. Hope to see more!

[@Dustrick]

Love you, too, B. 😘

[@Scarybunnygod]

Hell yeah, make more food from trees. My grandparents used to talk about making chocolate from American Linden, an I look forward to eastern redbud blossoms every year. I would be interested in trying to pickle cucumber magnolia (magnolia acuminata) blossoms beacuse they get so huge. New England has such great tree resources for food that we just do not take advantage of anymore.

[@jomicheleseidl2033]

I've gotta try this one! and they are so pretty! it's so much fun watching an idea evolve as Brad composes, tastes, adjusts, tastes, adds a few little tweaks and voila!

[@brett8940]

I love Magnolia! My parents had one outside their old house. I didn't know you could eat the flowers.

[@DaneSaysStuff]

Hell yea dude Brad has his own channel and I'm here for it!

[@donate1sttt]

I just watched a 5 year old Focaccia recipe with Brad and Italian lady S. I laughed so o hard.... I watched it more times. I asked does anyone know where Brad or the site go. I then just googled Brad L. Yea I'm so excited he has his channel. America needs to laugh. I'm watching from Beautiful South Iowa

[@AnthonieMusic]

I love the slightly new editing style! The meme-fication is great😂

[@drewfitzy]

That Sekiro music immediately hooked me

[@jescowan26]

get some feijoa growing in your garden next very nice flowers and fruit to eat

[@happycapy4]

Brads energy is always so positively infectious

[@greghamann2099]

I am so glad I found you again. It's like connecting with an old friend. You haven't changed a bit.

[@kindabluejazz]

The batter's box is for the current hitter. I think Ian meant the hat was 'on deck' or in the 'on-deck circle'.

[@monicaquant268]

Love that garden!!!

[@sheseuph]

4:12 meet ilia playing 😭😭 editor knows the vibes

[@NZKiwi87]

Well I never! We are inundated with magnolia trees where I live, positively dripping in them. Now I can eat them too, awesome!

[@gordonkellerjr1076]

Might be fun to use the pickling liquid as the vinegar for the sushi rice! Might make the rice pink though.

[@Flargenyargen]

That looked genuinely amazing. I can't even imagine.

[@Playeroffaceless]

What a lovely episode. Thank you so much.

[@Fpsdood]

the eric andre YES! killed me

[@kenobi7584]

Looks/sounds fantastic. What if you mixed the shoyu with a little of that vinegar from the pickling and used that as the sauce to brush on? No magnolias here so I'll take your word for how amazing it tastes.

[@deenaderrington1934]

Love this idea!!! Thanks for sharing ❤️

[@griffinwolf5704]

Nice one!

[@stephanievega1348]

Just finished collecting a bunch of cherry blossoms from the tree in tiny backyard, I think this is a good idea to use them ✨ thanks for the idea this looks great! Love everything you dooo

I was not expecting Sekiro soundtrack in a Brad Leone video

Did the intro of this have the Sekiro title music??? Banger

Those vacuum jar lids are great for curing rosin

[@julesnixdorf7376]

This episode. Yes. Love it! I actually was curious about this, my niece was asking about magnolia flowers a couple months ago.

[@ewtam24]

🤯great show! thank you 🙏🏼

[@trevors7646]

as a Mystic, CT lad i love your support of our community and businesses, but who is going to pickle magnolias. I love everything pickled (a huge reason i am here) but this is wild. cant wait to try it

[@immobilefern1506]

Pickled brussel sprouts are top teir snacks. Little garlic, dill, and habanero with it 😗🤌

[@melissalambert7615]

Made pickled brussel sprouts once, hated them. Maybe I'll try again.

[@kevinbauer7264]

Brad, you need two paw paw trees. they cross pollinate by black flies or beetles. If you tree survives and matures it wont fruit unless you have others on the property that it can pollinate.

[@sebassjanikowski3075]

this dude said yea take these beautiful delicate flower petals and the second thing he recommends after fish is "put it on a hot dog" lool Never change Brad Leone

[@hmmblueeyes]

You could dye easter eggs with that pink vinegar!

[@mattmauro42]

pickled stuff on sushi!? sign me up

[@jennag9891]

You’d love Lamothe’s sugar house in Burlington, CT! The owner does great demos during maple syrup season.

Can you also eat 'Southern' Magnolia Flowers? There's alot in my area right now and it be nice to try this out, had no idea you could eat them!

[@RussiaBoatz]

Omg Brads back!!!! Brad what do the Homies have to do to get you out for a phat cookout?!

[@yooperdog]

Very cool. We use to pickle leeks around this time of year in the U.P of Michigan.

[@Matty_Ice_4]

First found out about Brad in the video where he worked a shift at Nino's pizza spot. Hoping for another video with him.

There's the beardy face I know and love!

[@davew7247]

what a great idea, missed this season but next year its on my list. what about other uncommon flowers used

[@patrickmurray9409]

Here we have yucca flowers, I imagine I could do the same.

[@jenndowell6446]

You can totally see the crack in the vinegar in the shrine shot!

Brads editors seem to have gone mad and I’m here for it.

[@esb1874]

On the topic of Maple Syrup - Have you ever tried Birch Syrup?? We have some in Atlantic Canada and it's so good too! Much more rare, labor intensive and expensive (takes about 6x the amount of taps vs maple), but delicious!

[@ckc019]

"Nibble the tip bud" aaaaalll right brad

[@0o0ification]

Unique pickles FTW That's science baby!

[@spegynmerbles3993]

Well I definitely wasn't expecting to hear the sekiro theme on a video like this XD

[@GreenWitch1]

I never knew those were edible. Very nice! Im friggin hungry now 😋

Woah I need that mason jar sealer. Do a partnership with them so I can buy one and help support the channel!

anyone else notice the Legend of Zelda music @ 3:17??

This is vintage BL. ❤

Good source of content

[@gangstreG123]

I hope you have some plans for the upcoming juneberries. Maybe make a preserve of some kind? Or a berry kombucha since the fermentation station is running again.

I had to stop to give the like right away after 12 seconds.
