Lunch At KFC | Autism Remarkable Memory | Mail | Spaghetti Strings And Duff | Moxie | Thrifting 

Craig is good people and has a great family to support him

It was so sweet when you mentioned Craig dressing up like cat in the hat for Halloween and I think I saw a smile cross his face!

I love this family so much, Thank you for making my mornings Joyful right now I really need it as I'm grieving my dad at this moment me and my daughter enjoy the channel. Good deal on the books, and we need to try that chicken sandwich. I love the simpsons the duff soda is cool !! Keep on Having a Great day Craig and family.

6:08 If Joe ever wants to go deep on Bourbon I'm all ears!😉 That's a man after my own heart 🤣

Hi Nancy and Joe. I work at a Dayhab with autistic adults. I want to say thank you for your kind words about us Dayhab folks. I love my guys like they are my own kids. I'm 65 years old and they keep me young and very busy. We go out into the community to volunteer and everyone they come in contact with just loves them. Keep on doing what you do. You guys are awesome parents. God bless 😊

I love how you and Joe give a personal humanized explanation of autistic people and how they are able to recall things so well. You and Joe make it easier for people to relate to autistics as well as offering creative ways to engage while being respectful of their boundaries. I love how the community has grown and I often enjoy the shared community comments. There's so much positivity and love for Craig and the family, I feel like many of us know you all better than we do our own families 😅 My question for you, Nancy is: how has this channel affected you socially? Do you feel more extroverted or more comfortable talking to people or have you always been the fun person that enjoys trying new things? You do such a great job in getting Craig out of the house and participating in activities, I've often wondered if it was just natural for you or if it took some brainstorming and discussion with Joe (who seems more of an extrovert)

Awesome family! Joe is hilarious😂 " Birds and Bourbon"🤣

You’re YT channel is outstanding!…A great mix of enrichment and entertainment that is done so in a relaxed and assured manner…Well done, I always learn a new and important life lesson each and every time…Thanx so much, y’all ROCK!!

Birds and Bourbon... Joe is my type of person 😂😂😂💯💯

The thrift stores are such a godsend for books and toys etc 🙏 fantastic video as always, lovely story Craig 🥰❤

18:07 “OhMan, I don’t have any quarters” 😂😂

I love Joe’s description of Craig seeing the entire train as one whole picture where as others need to separately observe each little part. That is a perfect explanation for my 8 year old too. He loves to go to museums. He often wants to go to different ones in different cities we visit. He goes through the entire museum at a quick pace then wants to leave. He never stops, never reads many signs, and never wants to come back to see the little details we need time to see. Outsiders would wonder why he likes going or what he gets out of it. But his mind processes information sooooo fast! He does see it all. He sees and remembers details that I often miss! He views each area as one picture and appreciates every detail all at one time. I’ve never had a good explanation for it until hearing Joe.

Yes I enjoyed the journals ty for sharing

I also think that a lot of people with autism have some type of special ability.... Craig's might be vivid memory That's why he can remember stuff so accurately..... I know a person that had aspergerson and autism, and just off the year you was born, He could tell you what day of the week that was.... I was so impressed when he told me that I was born on a Friday which I didn't even know until I asked my parents

Nancy, thank you for sharing that journal entry, learning how Craig was when he was younger is always interesting to me. See you tomorrow!

15:58 Nancy I actually miss the KFC wedges lol. Little nostalgic because KFC was my very first job all the way back in 1996. Boy I sure miss the 90's 😞

This guy needs his own restaurant review channel. This is absolute priceless fire!

Hey Joe I’d watch! Birds and Bourbon sounds good to me😌

Just love ya'll so much, watch most everyday. I think the things that you address in your videos are very helpful to people who have relatives who are on the autism spectrum. What a wonderful family you have. ❤❤😊😊

Thanks for these videos. I just want to let you know that I love Craig and your videos.

❤ My husband loves Bourbon too and collecting different types. Also, I feel like autistic folks tend to have amazing memories/facts. My son knows makes, models, and years of cars/trucks

My psychiatrist told me once you remember what you're interested in. Love how you explained how Craig sees and stores information. ❤ You have surrounded Craig with loving and caring people. Do you have Popeyes in Des Moines, Iowa? I miss thriftying. Good price for $.25. I loved Craigs look when he was holding the non beer drink. 😅

I love to see Craig opening his mail 😊😮

My son is the same way. He's fixated on his favorite things and remembers dates and events that happened yrs ago of. It's quite amazing!

The S word! Super cool that he tried it anyway. 👏

Love Craigs Groucho Marx impression....So Awsome...Be Blessed and Safe!!!!

Since Craig doesn’t like spaghetti, does he like any other Italian dishes, such as lasagna or ravioli, etc with a marinara/meat sauce? I know he likes pizza, but wondered about that when he finally ate spaghetti (I mean string candy) today. Lol You did an excellent job explaining why Craig remembers what he remembers and helping to explain how his special gift from God of remembering works. When Joe said about the quilters (im one and have shelves of fabric and rioters and books etc. yet, I can go right to anything! Doesn’t mean I’m organized, either! Lol my husband was a lawyer and it amazed him that another he knew… had a huge desk piled high of papers. I mean, a mess of stacks of papers. He had to get some Information from him. He recalled sitting across from the desk and as he asked for each document, the man would reach into the stack on this side or the other side and lift and retrieve the exact document he needed. It amazes him. Guess what I’m having for lunch today?!?! KFC! 😊

Another awesome video, easily one of my favorite channels on youtube. Craig reminds me of what really matters, and my love for my passions. i give it 2 thumbs up, 5/5 stars, and the Ramada Productions seal of approval

I give this video two thumbs up, five stars, and the Greg seal of approval!❤

Yes exactly right, our boy is Pokemon crazy and knows so much info on them, if anyone talks to him about his interests he will suddenly have a full blown conversation with that person, as long as they don't change the subject and stay on his interests he will stay talkihg, it was like when he taught himself to play piano, all by ear and memory of key location. I kept a journal too when my son was younger, the changes and accomplishments as they grow are all positive. Thanks as always for these wonderful vids ❤.

I have just started watching your videos. I love them and it reminds of the struggles i was going through when my son was young. He is also autistic. this video reminded me also my kiddo was very picky, and he also would not eat use metal silverware. he would only use plastic and would only use spoons. My son remembers every fact about music you would ever want to know. totally forgot about this till you read your journal. You are an awesome mom and Joe is a great dad. Craig you are a great guy and very funny and a wonderful uncle to your nieces and nephew!

Hello, good video it's always very interesting. And thanks Craig for the heads up on the KFC sandwich it look delicious I'll have to give it a try with the mac and cheese to 👍

It's amazing though how he can remember dates , who done the cartoon voices etc. He has to have like a photographic memory. Also I guess I missed the episode if Crag tried spaghetti. He doesn't care for it if I was to guess. Anyway love the show. I'm 63 yrs old now. My mom I can remember would say that a family that plays together stays together. You guys are great example on how true her statement was all those years ago.

Birds and bourbon 🥃 would be such a good channel and it would be epic to hear about different bourbons and the differences! Let’s go Joe

I love how respectful Craig is when he opens up gifts. He always looks for the note/card first ❤

Thankyou Craig, Nancy and family.

I am so looking forward to the Halloween episode now =) that's if Craig wishes to put on a costume, of course

Autistic people really are quite special. They tend to have amazing memory, possibly photographic memory. I love that little Simpsons music box. Oh no, not Dora and the 🍝 candy in one day! And Joe is keeping the Grimace shake joke going. 😂 Is Craig okay with Joe picking on him? Craig's impression at the end was great. 💙

As much as I’d like to say hello & interact. Would just wave say hello. Totally understand Craig. #autism brothers ♥️🇺🇸

I Love your videos!!!! Thank You!!!!

Birds and bourbon… I’d watch it! 😂

Hey Craig, I hope you're having an awesome day. I've got the day off work, my little girl has a day off nursery school/ kindergarten. We've been at auntie Gemma's house playing in the garden with all our cousins. We're heading home to make dinner for tonight. We're having spaghetti Bolognese and garlic bread. What's your plans today? Keep on having A great day, your friend in Scotland. David 😊

Glad you had some quarters for the books 🤠

That’s awesome

Craig has wonderful family

Thank you from Australia for more great advice 👍

I like ur journal reading nancy

Hi Craig I agree with you about that BBQ chicken sandwich. I tried it last week and I also liked it very well. Nancy here fries are very good as well like them better than the wedges as well. Glad that you guys are liking the toaster oven. I was about 5 days behind on videos but now I’m caught up again. Have a great rest of your week.

Great video again love you all😊

I watched Captain Kangaroo when I was getting ready for school when I was growing up.

Your fans send such fun stuff!

I have a cousin who is Autistic, who memorizes phone numbers and license plate numbers.

"We discussed birds,but not bourbon " 😂😂

Yummy

I have an adult grandson with autism. I have noticed that people with autism have "gifts". My grandson has a gift for dates. I will ask him if he remembers something we did years ago. He replys. 'oh yes,that was September 5th 1998. The dates are exact and amazingly accurate. I also love that he is so honest. Awesome gifts.

I remember The Electric Company 😊

Now we need a birds and bourbon RU-vid channel from joe😂 there’s actually a restaurant in Virginia called birds and bourbon

The biggest plot twist was "Spices of Nepal" serves Indian food, not Nepalese.

Ha ha ha , didn’t know 🥃 lol yeah start that channel bird watching while drinking 🥃

I would subscribe so fast to Birds & Bourbon 😂

Joe needs his own channel called Birds and Bourbon!!

Hi, great video as usual. Just a heads up, 22:30-35:55 is the same footage as the first 14 mins of this video. No big deal but I thought I’d let you know. Everyone always praises the great content but I know how hard video editing can be and I can tell a lot of work goes into the editing for these videos. I can also see much improvement over time. Keep up the great editing.

My gift is remembering a lot of animal knowledge, and pokemon and toy knowledge. im basically an encyclopedia on these areas. Many toys, just a loose figure or such, i can probably tell you what series it came from and about year.

People was autism have extreme memory. I have NVLD and I’m very high functioning. I have a job, drive a car, live on my own, cook for myself and pay my bills etc. People with NVLD has slightly below average short term memory, but extreme long term memory. I can play back in my head the scenes from events in my life that happened yearsssss ago. I can remember what people were doing and wore. People with NVLD are also extreme with details.

Hello! Why Craig doesn't like spaghetti? Love from Greece

Good afternoon Craig and family Have a blessed day 😇

Lol why doesn't he like Dora? That cracked me up when you turned it on...😂

Hello Craig, mommy, and daddy!!!

Craig, I have to watch this video a little later...but l will catch up

I have a question for Joe. What is your all time favorite bourbon? What is the most exclusive bottle of bourbon you have in your collection? And how expensive does bourbon get? I guess that’s a few questions lol

People with NVLD can be very literal as well, but we do show emotion. I can remember times when I cried, but I always wondered why I get sad when close family dies, but never really cry. After watching your videos I see this is a thing with people with mental disabilities.

You guys are the best! And yes I would love to meet you guys! Hi from Florida💕

Aww Craig, I know how you feel about the "S" word. I feel the same way about canolis and cream puffs 🤢🙅‍♀️

I got this sandwich because of Craig today and it was quite good

Joe should start a podcast called Birds and Bourbon😂

Simpsons music box!!!!!

Gilligans island joke over Craig’s head.

I know video editing can be quite difficult sometimes and that errors are very easy to make (we're all human). At 22:29 the beginning seems to repeat. I'm unsure if RU-vid still has a built in editor as if they did maybe it could be trimmed down to only have one instance. Initially, I was hesitant to click on the video due the length but that explained some of it. 😊

Sorry the flavor of the Duff wasn’t for Craig, but I’m glad he gave it a try, and that you liked it Nancy!

Im wearing a spiderman t shirt in honor of Craig

I want Stephanie to give a review of the Taylor Swift concert

I'd watch Birds and Bourbon. Even better would be Birds on Bourbon.

DO NOT “Skip” ads for the Vanderveer Family! Please & Thanks! ☮️😎💟

livy and josie are about old enough to go trick or treating. Craig could join them if he wants.

Birds and Bourbon

Hello 🎉😅😊

Did he enjoy the KFC sandwich

I wonder I gonna eat this Nepalese food along with Bolly stores

I would like to know what his thoughts are on the Ghostbusters movie??

I’ve been watching y’all’s channel for a while. I have a question why does Craig hate the word spaghetti? Also does he hate the dish or just the name of the dish? Will he eat lasagna or any other Italian foods? I know he’s picky. My son Used to be picky now he tells me about dishes I’ve never heard of and should try.🤣 thanks for the videos. Truly fun and a learning experience!❤️ praying God continues to bless you.

Gah ahaha joes answer

Is Craig a Harry Potter fan? Just wondering, because I'm definitely a Harry Potter fan, I recently went to University Studios and was blown away by the Harry Potter world

lol I reserved my comments on the Cracker Barrel video when it came to Moxie. I don't like it either. Dated a girl when I was in the military who loved it though. Not for me though. The Craig and Joe show lol Joe always messing with Craig. Out of love of course.

I don’t blame Craig on the reasoning for spaghetti. I couldn’t eat rice for many many years after I watch the same from the lost boys.

Im actually suprised he likes mac and cheese when he doesnt like noodles like Ramen or spaghetti (well aside from candy spaghetti lol) I dont know if you guys have realized this but a number of your videos have large chuncks repeated or the wntire thing repeated. Just bringing it to your attention in case you didnt realize it was doing that. 😊

craig,which is your favorite simpsons character

Im from the Chicagoland area and I dont know if Bozo was just in this market but has Craig ever seen Bozo

Does craig have any favorite Halloween movies? 🎃

Does Craig remember things before he learn to talk

Joe what is your favorite bourbon
