Matteo Lane & Nick Smith Make Pumpkin Bread 

The fact that Nick has survived to adulthood never ceases to amaze me.

Watching the wheels turn in Nick's brain about why flour isn't vegan was a great start to my day.

The fact that Matteo allows someone like Nick in the kitchen despite all that italian/mexican blood in him is what overcoming generational trauma is all about

I can feel the life long friendship ❤❤❤ Nick “an egg is dry until you crack it open” Mateo “you’re an idiot.” 😂😂😂😂

Nick expertly cracked Matteo's sanity like he cracked the brown period eggs.

So hear me out, take one absolute control freak and pair him with an agent of chaos. Give them a cooking show and hilarity ensues 😂

Oh my god, can we have an entire TV show of these two? Nick learning about nature and Matteo not losing his mind?

"I wasn't ON the farm shucking hay!" 😂😂😂😂😂 omg I'm dying he neither shucked corn nor mowed hay this is obvious🤣🤣 I love these two together

Gimme the knife Britney Spears 🤣🤣🤣

The fact that Nick finds his way home every night is spellbinding.

Nick is actually Rose from the Golden Girls. You’re having normal conversation then he drops a “St Olaf” moment and you’re wondering if you grew up in the same reality.

When you guys start arguing over wet vs dry ingredients and Nick brought up the eggs, I pictured him as the green fairy from Sleeping Beauty- literally folding whole eggs into a dough and smashing them lmaooo

Between Nick's "is flour vegan?" and Matteo's breakdown over a tiny little extra cinnamon.......it's a miracle it turned out like it did!

This is such sibling energy 😂. I'm having flashbacks to making cookies growing up.

This is the closest I’ve ever seen Matteo getting close to losing it completely with Nick…and I loved it 😂 Looking forward to seeking you Friday Matteo! :)

5:58 I love how Nick has given up any pretense of calling them “Italian wedding cookies”, and has just embraced calling them “cum cookies”.😅

"What do you consider wet, things that are not dry" I just love these two. 😂❤

The look of pure mischief on nick’s face when he went to add more cinnamon 😂

Usually I'm on Mateo's side but a little extra cinnamon is better. If I were there, more spice: nutmeg, clove, etc.

Matteo: “What do you think flour is?” Nick: [a pause so pregnant it gave birth to the ENTIRE Duggar family, all at once]

The two of you are great friends. I love the banter between you two. The flour isn't vegan things was hysterical. I hope that you bake with Nick again soon. This was wonderful.

Chris deserves all the awards, for going above and beyond amongst all this chaos! 🤣💗

Omg🤣😭😭💀 my husband thought white chocolate was only made with vanilla beans 😂 I feel your pain Matteo 😅👌👌

Wow... baking is a little more forgiving than Matteo would have poor Nick believe. Yes, two cups vs one cup of flour would matter, but one extra 1/2 tsp of cinnamon would not "ruin" the pumpkin bread, lol.

I would love to see an animation of what was going through Nick's head when Matteo asked "why would flour not be vegan?"

“Give me the knife Brittany Spears!” 😂😂😂

Just by listening to the two of you, I can hear my mother's voice saying, "SO HELP ME, IF I HAVE TO STOP THIS CAR! SOMEONES GONNA GET IT"

Matteo and Nick acting like a couple who have been married for 50 years. I swear you two sound like my grandparents. ❤️❤️❤️ just watched Hair Plugs and Heartache. Genius❤️ Please do another advice show or series... PLEASE!!!! You are a so good at on the spot comedy.. both of you. ❤️❤️

9:36 Matteo’s scream there is everything then the Italian mom hands afterwards had me on the floor laughing 😂

When a person who eyeballs it and a person who follows directions get together 😂… I am that person all in one 🤣

Nick: “Want me to show you a trick?” Matteo: “NO.” 💀

Glad to see Mateo getting in touch with his inner Italian/Mexican mother.

I can sense Matteo’s actual frustration at times in this video 😂 him baking with Nick is like me trying to bake with my kids 😂

"Eggs are technically dry until you crack them" dear lord do not let this man cook EVER!! 😂😂

I’m surprised Nick was still alive by the end of the video 🤣

The fact that this video came out after Nick’s cake pop video makes this so much better 😂

The opposite of The Great British Baking Show and I'm here for it!

All pumpkin bread needs butter spread all over it until it melts and then eat the pumpkin bread. You two cooking together brings back so many fun memories for this mom. Thanks so much.

The banter is HILARIOUS! 😂 Nick’s side eye at 10:35 should be a meme. 👀 🤣

Matteo:You don't think flour is vegan. Nick: I still don't. 😂😂😂😂 I can't....

Oh my gawd… the voice impressions were SPOT ON!!! Love this!

The way I can tell they truly have love for each other because they bicker soooooo bad but then get over it in .35 seconds and are laughing again. Lol.

The camera operator cracking up set me off. 😂😂😂

Lmao omg I always thought Matteo was exaggerating his impression of Nick but he really sounds just like that 😂

watching the battle over leveling the dry ingredients ... i'm f'ing dead. 💀🤣

I don’t watch cooking shows. However if Matteo & Nick got one commissioned, it would become my new favourite show!

the only thing i learned from this video is that Matteo and Nick need to have a bake-off

I will NEVER get tired of watching Matteo and Nick videos! 😂

I absolutely love the interactions between the two of you. What fun! (For us!)

So glad I saw this after watching Nick make cake pops 😂😂😂

I am reminded of Matteo saying Nick wasn't domesticated during his stand-up special. 🤣

You two together are the best. I've been laughing hysterically watching you.

Oh my God, you boys are hysterical here! Only people who have been friends as long as you two would talk to each other like that. I'm dying laughing!

Nick is a MENACE. @9:55 "want me to show you a trick?" Followed by an immediate and stern "no" took me out.

Nick! The reason you add sugar (dry) into eggs is the sugar fluffs up the eggs and helps a better rise.

Nick said shucking hay 😂😂😂 love him ❤

This reminds me of when yall *CARVED* pumpkins last year.

omg that was so triggering!! mateo is my mom stabbing the will out of me to ever enter the kitchen again OR LIVE!! with every word hahaha! I'm with nick on this one! what do you think flour is?!?! FROM THE GROUND!! and the little hand steeple ahahahha. i was really scared when that cake fell after cooling off, and so relieved it was ok in the end lol :D great stuff!

The amount of ‘I love him, I hate him’ energy from Matteo is palatable.

Chris laughing in the background always makes me smile

This is the BEST cooking episode so far!!! Crying laughing literally!

You two crack me up! Looks like you had enough batter for two loaves. I have a cream cheese filling recipe that you can add for extra deliciousness: 4 oz softened cream cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 c sugar, 1/4 c flour, 1tsp vanilla. Mix together till smooth. Fill bread pan with 1/2 pumpkin batter, spread 1/2 of cream cheese mixture on top, add rest of pumpkin batter. Smooth pumpkin batter. Pour rest of cream cheese mixture in line down center of pan, use a toothpick to make decorative swirl pattern through filling. Bake as normal 350° 45 minutes-hour. 🎃

Look at the universe blessing us all with these two. I love y'all!

I love how Matteo is the perfectionist and Nick is everyone on the internet’s attention span.

Matteo is such a human version of a brick wall when it comes to cooking.

That dry egg bit had me wheezing like an asthmatic cancer patient 😂

8:18 "I still don't!" Nick is a national treasure

“Give me the knife Britney Spears” 😂😭😂 I died

Every time i see these two in the kitchen, I immediately stop what I'm doing and watch ❤

“It’s so it doesn’t stick to the side” very Ina Garten of you. Love it 😂

Not the distinction between wet and dry ingredients made clear in the recipe in the description 😭😭😂😂

How on earth did Matteo and Nick manage to recreate my childhood, baking with my sisters, verbatim 😮 ?!?!?!?!!

"If I see you fucking chop with that butter knife one more time!" I'm with you, Nick 💚

These two sound like an old married couple which are actually very funny like these two.

I say have fun, worry less about sticking to the exact recipe. These are memories you're making! ❤ ok, I just watched Nick's cake pop video and... 🙃 Matteo, you're doing the Lord's work.

‘Eggs are technically dry till you open them up’ had me howling

i literally do not know how i got through life before Nick and Matteo 😅 the world needs more of this vibe ❤❤❤

Matteo and Nick are me and my kids cooking together. I’m such a control freak when it comes to baking 😂😂😂

Fyi. For non bakers, sugar is considered a “wet” ingredient. Dry is flour (whatever kind you use), corn starch an things like it, baking soda/powder, spices. Also try Splenda sugar substitute or their brown sugar substitute. Works just fine, as a diabetic it means it’s healthier for me to eat. Also in measuring flour you scoop into the cup with a spoon then level. You don’t risk compacting the flour and altering your outcome.

I love Mateo baking in a tank top, makes me want to come over for dinner. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I learned to bake whilst working in a cafe as a teenager... pretty much everything was measured by eye, and always turned out tasty!

You and Nick doing anything is my favorite show. 😂

Stress-baking with my favorite bestie duo 😂❤❤❤

What do we have to do to get a podcast and a Patreon with an extra episode? I can’t get a enough of these two 🤩 😂❤

How is Matteo so flawlessly portraying the voice in my head when my partner tries to “help” me bake?

Mateo is there anything you suck at? That pumpkin from fifth grade is flawless! Post Script taking my daughter to her first comedy show (I’m a former recovering stand-up) was an extremely important night to me. Having front row to your show for my daughters 13 birthday is one of my top comedy experiences of my life. I saw George Carlin 11 times, Steven Wright 5, Paula Poundstone 7, Chris Rock 5, Joan Rivers…it’s a shorter list of whom I haven’t seen; Mateo you are one of the funniest stand-ups I have ever seen. You had a line fully around the block of the Paramount in Denver & I’ve never seen that in my entire life in Denver. You’ve made it baby!!

OMG, you two together...made my day, thank you!

the way i FLEW to this video to hear nick's voice, and he did not disappoint. stay flawless, nick.

The off the cuff callback to queer feminist is literally one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my entire life. There have been successful shows that have been on for 7 seasons with less character development than that one sentence.

I feel like Nick is new to reality every time he's on your channel. He definitely lives in his own world. He was worried about the flour being vegan but ate the cake that has eggs🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Want me to show you a trick?” “No…” The curtness 😂😂😂

Matteo failed to realize Nick's level of baking is equal to Fauna from Sleeping Beauty 😂😂 She put the whole egg, shell and all in Aurora's cake! "Two eggs, fold in gently."

you guys need to open a restaurant with an open kitchen for viewing, like Hell's Kitchen and just let all your guests see the chaos.

Can somebody turn their conversations into a Cartoon...LOL

I cannot stop thinking about Matteo's impression of Nick in his specials, and the Squidward voice is unironically correct

it's the way the music dropped out when Matteo asked Nick what he thought flour was made of. 💀

Matteo and Nick, another recipe you both might enjoy is Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. I got the recipe decades ago online and have made it for years and it's always a big hit. But make sure you always use semi sweet dark chocolate chips because I once used the milk chocolate chips and they were terrible. I tried looking online for the recipe I have and every one is different than mine, so instead of sharing a link, I'll just give it to you: 1 cup butter 1 1/2 cups sugar 1 egg 1 cup pumpkin puree 1 tsp real vanilla 2 1/2 cups flour 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp ginger 1/2 tsp cloves 1/2 tsp salt 1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips Preheat oven to 350F and lightly grease cookie sheet. In large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, pumpkin and vanilla. In separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients; flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture, mix well. Add chocolate chips and mix in. Drop by teaspoons onto well greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes or until light brown.

As a baker, Nick was giving me so much anxiety on Matteo’s behalf! Just a suggestion: use the paddle instead of the whisk to mix. The whisk is used to incorporate air, which contributed to why it rose so high as it baked and then deflated as it cooled.

I love how he goes "Nick it has to be exact" when measuring flour by VOLUME

lol, really glad you guys just keep it to butter knives- def suggest this be a rule; and also no windows when you cook together
