HELLO FRIENDS! thank you for tuning into this weeks livestream, where we start off ~hot~ and end up ~even warmer and also in a combo food coma and sugar high~! hope you guys enjoy this one, bc we certainly did! also, so sorry that the color temperature looks a bit off - will definitely troubleshoot that before the next stream! now i'm off to edit and then fall face first into my bed, lol. hope to see you guys next week at tuesday at 5pm est! xoxo, saf

Can I just say that you can SEE how Safiya seems to just be getting her old confidence back?

Saf and Tyler are what Carly and Freddie became as adults

I’m just gonna say, the way Tyler looks at Safiya when she talks is absolutely adorable.

No more apologizing guys! You apologize a lot for little human things. You are doing great and you are adorable. No apologies needed! Do your thing. The candidness is part of the fun!

Its just so cute how tyler just looks at safiya during the entire stream

When there’s a spork on the table, you use it. - Tyler Williams, 2021

I love the very subtle marks of affection between them, like Safiya putting her hand gently on Tyler's head when he's taking Buiscuitville up so he doesn't bang his head on the table.

I can't imagine Tyler's face when he finds out there actually is a chain of restaurants called BJ's, completely separate from BoJangles.

Shout out to Chris and Carly for being such gems in this stream, it's nice to hear them laughing/commenting/etc. but maybe that's just me lol.

I lowkey love how Safiya has a very strong "This is a taste that isn't in my repertoire, need to categorize it before resuming whatever I was doing" face.

As a southerner I am absolutely SHOOK that there are people that have never had biscuits and gravy and/or never encountered sausage gravy 🤯🤯

Long Appreciation Post: My husband and I love Safiya and Tyler's livestreams! (Because of life, we are usually watching the streams after they are over- but one of these days you'll see us sliding in during an actual LIVE livestream...) We were talking last night about how simultaneously refreshing and comforting Safiya and Tyler are in their streams and just their content in general. Lately we both have felt like we are being bombarded with negative media constantly, (negative in content, language, and just general attitudes of creators) and have just really felt so worn down by a lot of the media we have followed. Honestly, livestreams give me anxiety. I think it's because sometimes it's like the feeling of inviting someone over to my apartment, but I don't know if I am going to witness them trash everything I love, talk about topics that make me feel uncomfortable and also almost exclusively use profanity in front of my child and cats before then having to ask them to leave. So normally I avoid livestreams, even though I love the idea of experiencing something fun along with other people at the same time. Enter Tyler and Safiya - two people who are fun, love each other and their cat, love learning/trying new things and sharing their experiences with us, and are also fellow nerds for Colonial Williamsburg. (ngl I have had aspirations of Mixed-up-Files-of-Mrs.-Basil-E-Frankweiler-ing that place...) It's like having friends over to our apartment that I can genuinely enjoy being around and listening to, who are both intelligent and thoughtful, and don't hose me down with inappropriate topics and profanity that I don't want my daughter (or cats) repeating. So all that to say, thank you guys for making the wholesome content I've been searching for, and letting us hang out and experience new things with you. You guys always make my day.

As an European, I can’t stop thinking about how large the drinks are

At the the people complaining about how long these videos are - this is just the way live streaming works. It's not an edited video, it's a live stream y'all! It's generally supposed to be long because it's meant to prioritize hanging out and immediate engagement with an audience. Whereas an edited video is more structured and point driven. Live streams are usually close to or over an hour and are more casual in nature. That's just the format. Saf and Tyler may start making shorter edits if enough people want them but presumably most people here understand and like the format enough to understand why the videos are over an hour long. There are probably a lot of people over here from their main channel who prefer their usual very edited video-essay esque style, so maybe that's where the confusion. If you're new to livestreams, this is the way they generally work.

As a southerner for 25 years, I would be *horrified* if I was served biscuits with brown gravy

Sometimes I have trouble getting myself to eat food, so it's nice to have livestreams like this so it's like I'm eating with somebody, no judgement. These are so fun and I definitely want Bojangles now

Cheers, Safiya and Tyler! Welcome to NC. We were on the edge of our seats watching you take that first sip of Cheerwine and thrilled that we have a new fan.

I don't know if there's any way you can see this comment, but I wanted to suggest something for Crusty's breath. My senior kitty had the worst breath, and I thought it was just normal. Turns out she had several rotten teeth that were really bothering her. Once we had those removed (she's toothless now), her breath smells like nothing. She's also a lot more energetic now, and eats better. The surgery part is scary (especially on a senior cat), but their quality of life improves

I love that Tyler in these livestreams exists solely to make outdated references. I’m HERE for it

Tyler: “I don’t drink.” *Flashback to the wine section of the Japanese spa theme park*

Can you guys try a Hot Ones challenge? Work your way up some hot sauces and make it real interesting by choosing some random fan questions, or questions for each other from a jar so you don't know what to expect....as soon as Safiya said she had a spice tolerance I was like....doooooo yoouuuuuuu???

How does Tyler have an obscure reference for every possible scenario ever? 🤣

Ya gotta stop being so hard on yourself Tyler! Live streaming can be nerve wracking for so many reasons but you two are natural comedic speakers. Love the two of you and what you bring out in one another :)

But seriously are we getting a 40 flavored milkshake from CookOut video??👀👀

I like the interaction with the people behind the camera. It feels weird to know that there are people there without ever seeing or hearing them.

North Carolinians now it's our time to shinee. Can't wait for all y'all to see the beauty and diversity this state has to offer!

2 notes.. As a Cook Out frequenter in college, they will make a “Franken” /suicide shake with all the flavors! AND you’ve got to get the quesadilla sauce for your fries.

"Why are we so worried about making enemies in the chat?" Did u see when Keith from Try Guys ate the menu at whataburger and subsequently pissed off the whole state of Texas 🤣 for some reason people take their fast foods very seriously

Saf and Tyler: (opens biscuits n gravy) Saf: I'm a little surprised because usually the gravy I encounter is brown. Me: if I ordered biscuits n gravy and someone gave me brown gravy for it I'd be mad as hell. That's grounds for fightin

Jesus, reading the chat is fricken awful. Speculating about someone’s body is so juvenile and rude.

not me waiting for saf to “this tastes like...colonial williamsburg”

I actually hate to say this but the half croc half winter boot thing is in fact very real...I work at a shoe store that sells them. I can try to get a pair for you if you genuinely want them for a video😩😩

How many southern folks have been thinking "bless your heart" but in a legitimate sweet way throughout this? 😂💜

Saf is a vibe organizing the chicken to put it up The chicken leg was put into a napkin and NEATLY put back in the box! I was living

their personalities compliment each other so much i fucking love them

Saf protecting Tyler’s head from hitting the table when he came back up from getting the food, was the cutest little thinggg💜

The Cook Out in my town is right next to a Waffle House… easily the most chaotic energy ever! So many drunk fights

I reported about a dozen chats for harassment/bullying during this video, and there's a solid chance people will get reprimanded since this is a high-profile channel. I agree Saf and Tyler need mods, but in the meantime, y'all need to find some manners. We don't comment on people's bodies or speculate about their private lives, folks.

Safiya's reaction to all the food is like in her heart she's always been from the south. Welcome home.

It cracks me up that they seem to have no idea what biscuits and gravy are. I love it

I really like this type of content, I am not worried or in a hurry for them to put video's up on their main channel. I like what they're doing right now and I hope they're taking care of themselves!

Uhm.... How is no one talking about their selfcontrol? How can they talk for sooooo long when there is good smelling food in front of them???!!! And how can they keep talking and not just shmashing it in????!!!

I Love Saf gently touching Tyler’s head, when he’s bringing up the Biscuitville, so that he doesn’t hit his head on the table

Cookout is absolutely the place you go at 2am after a night of drinking and dancing in your local college town bar. I have more memories than I’d like to admit of weird things happening in the drive thru while in the back of the DD’s car.

12:46 "stop upsetting people." I died tyler is too funny

Safiya jumping into the world of biscuits and gravy is so great! I’m from Alabama and I had no idea that was not an “across the US” thing 😄

Listening to Saf and Tyler trying to describe the texture of grits using every word except gritty.. 😅

Also: re: the biscuitville gravy section It’s only sausage gravy if there’s sausage in it. Otherwise the “white gravy” is commonly named “country gravy!” It’s made with butter, flour, milk, and spices (predominantly black pepper).

I’m absolutely obsessed with Cook Out... it was the only food I basically ate the entirety of my freshman year of college

When Tyler was forking the gravy onto the biscuit I was screaming at my tv. The goal, for me, with biscuits and gravy is that you can barely tell there is a biscuit under the gravy. Also in South Carolina we call that type of gravy breakfast gravy.

Tyler catching himself on camera is the cutest confused look

I remember being a wee North Carolinian in elementary and middle school and Bojangles was always the big test day breakfast. Also, I'm so glad y'all tried Cheerwine. Saf looked like she was having a religious experience lol

You guys seem so so so much happier. Especially Tyler

As someone who isn't available at the time you stream, I really appreciate that you have Carly who just pulls out the key comments and relays them to you. I get impatient watching other youtuber streams where they spend most of the time just responding to comments. There are pros and cons to each approach but this is my preferred way to see folks livestream so thank you! :)

I love to see that they're getting used to the live format and their confidence is way higher / they're more easy-going! Love the energy! Keep going guys

Safiya: I have a little bit of a spice tolerance Me: intense flashbacks to the Japanese vending machine video

I just want to see how long it takes Saf and Tyler to pick up the southern lingo and start saying y’all and bless your heart!

They both seem so much happier and more comfortable in these streams and it really shows and it makes me so happy

I really appreciate that you save the livestreams. It's usually 3-4am in India when you go live and I always make sure I sleep only after watching it😂 But yesterday I wasn't able to tune in as I was just really really tired. I was so scared that I had really missed all the fun stuff that happened but breathed a huge sigh of relief after I saw that it was still there!!! Thank you for keeping and re-uploading the livestreams❤️

This is my first youtube comment...ever lol. I've just gotta say I've been a North Carolinian all my life (first job was at Bojangles 😂) and ya'lls amazement towards southern food is so great. I'm not even 10 minutes into this and it's just fantastic. Welcome to NC ya'll. ☺️

As an NC native, it's very weird to hear prominent youtubers describe my homestate. Like, everyone is on the other coast lol

You all should take a trip to the Mountains and go Across NC! Asheville seems like yalls vibe

Yes! More Gilmore girl! I love that you guys watch the show! I’m on my 7 or 8 time rewatching it 😳❤️

Fun fact: as a current bojangles employee we no longer do the turkeys (at least at my location). They were so much work and made everything really hard for employees. Also they took forever to cook.

I love when you guys feed eachother, because it´s cute without being cringey

I’m so glad u guys live stream, the longer videos make me feel like I’m just hanging out with old friends and it is so comforting and enjoyable

Okay, whoever does the English subtitles is doing an amazing job. Like, I don't really need them but it helps and I don't think I've ever seen more correct/better subtitles before!!

Their body language is so sweet! They are still affectionate and touchy :) what a beautiful couple

It is a CRIME that you were not able to try Bojangles breakfast, especially their hashbrowns (aka Bo-Tato Rounds). I dream of them.

can we have "dressing/eating/living/coffee-chugging like a Gilmore for a day" please?????

Idk why but when the battery low sign appeared over Tyler's head, I thought it was edited to be there implying Ty was gonna bail out of the video due to tiredness or something like that...😂

As a North Carolinian, I love every single one of these chains! Welcome!

As my best friend Charlotte used to say, as I emptied 15 sugar packets into my tea, "I like my tea crunchy"

Speaking from experience, Cookout after midnight is a lawless place.

I got mad when everyone got mad at saf for saying cake donuts that was correct! I work at 2 donut places so I’m a professional. I work at Krispy Kreme so excited for the shoutout and also Duck Donuts which started in North Carolina as well! 10/10 would recommend a donut themed stream.

ya'll make me laugh so much! 1) fried turkey always makes me think of that episode of GG too 2) if you think you're hot with the oven now, just wait until it's actually summer and it's like 80% humidity: welcome to swamp ass 3) you're in the south now, be prepared to eat a lot of biscuits and gain 10lbs lol 4) i sure do love cheese grits 5) go to pigeon forge and eat breakfast at the apple barn 6) i hope ya'll enjoy southern specialites

Omg, when my wife and I were still dating, she came to visit me in Norfolk VA and I told her about cook out. We drove to a drive-thru only cookout, in the snow, so she could try it for the first time. She said that she will walk through a blizzard naked, if it meant she could have cook out again. She loves it that much 🤣

This gives me the best GMM vibes ever. I love this time with y'all even tho I'm way late to the stream. Love this style friends and y'all just having fun hanging out.

These streams make me so happy. I watched it live and now I'm watching it again just because Saf and Tyler's energy is what I needed this morning.

It’s so nice to see Tyler and Saf’s having a great time in NC! Wishing you guys all the best and can’t wait to see more videos!

As someone who isn’t even from the south I was extremely surprised that they don’t know what country gravy is. It’s called anything from country gravy, white gravy, to pepper gravy, to sausage gravy

Another great stream! I look forward to these streams every week, great times and lots of laughs and 90s references from Tyler haha

Ad a long-time watcher, it's so cool to have you in N.C. I love the state related content featuring in your videos!

Tyler’s consistent litany of references is hilarious 😂😂 I miss Cook Out so muuuuuch was the GO TO late night grab in college

When he said “quick fun fact” and the fun fact section is 10 minutes long 😂😂

Watching this video is so stress relieving! I’d like to see you and Tyler try old timey Southern recipes

So nice to have tyler talk now! (As opposed to having him behind the camera only commenting occasionally).

"It tastes like black pepper!" Yessss.... That's the secret of southern gravy! Lots of black pepper! My favorite way to eat biscuits and gravy is to add some crumbled bacon to it, or a country fried steak!

My husband and I just moved to Durham and discovered biscuitville and it’s our favorite place. The people are so nice and they kept giving us receipts so we could fill out the survey and get free sausage biscuits. I love the biscuits and gravy and the cashier recommended getting a sausage biscuit with a side of gravy because you get more sausage for the same price.

Being raised in North Carolina this is great to see someone’s actual first reaction to what I’m totally used too 😂 the spicy honey chicken biscuit is where it’s at from biscuitville

Thank you for adding some light hearted content during a difficult time for everyone. You are both adorable and make a great team! Keep up the great work! Watching from Canada and enjoying every minute of it! 🥰

No one: Safiya: I LOVE SEASONED RICE

White gravy is made with a light roux (flour and butter) and milk. It's great with biscuits, chicken fried steak, and mashed potatoes!

The way Saf acts like she's an alien from a completely different planet when she's trying new things is sending me lmao

Since they now live in Raleigh I would love to see them do the Krispy Kreme Challenge.

Native Californian who moved to Asheville NC. Can I please make a suggestion? ZAXBY'S!!!!!! The Boneless wings and things meal. Chicken tenders and the hot-honeymustard-boneless-wings and Zaxby's toast with Zaxby's sauce. Zaxby's sauce is soooo good! You have to try it. Zaxby's is a southern thing we wish would branch out everywhere. Zaxbys!

I’m from Chicago and I moved to Tennessee a couple years ago, and when I tell you the cook out milkshakes have CHANGED MY LIFE I mean it!

As someone who isn't an NC native (moved from MD in 2005), I went through this all myself and its so fun to see it from someone else's perspective! The Cheerwine is my favorite reaction. Its mine and my husband's favorite soda. I went to college in Salisbury, where its from, and they handed out cans of it to us as Freshmen when we waited in line for our room keys and IDs. I fell in love with it immediately. We love it so much we used glass bottles of it to toast with at our wedding instead of champagne! So glad you enjoyed it! They also have a Cheerwine festival in Salisbury every year now, and you can get all kinds of merch, Cheerwine flavored foods (popcorn, cupcakes, etc) and Cheerwine flavored beers and hard cider! Its a fun time.

Safs reaction to trying white gravy for the first time is ASTONISHING
