Yup.

haha half drunk blind guy operating a grill :D what could go wrong? you are hilarious! a positive attitude makes life just so much easier
I though Beck was an alcohol-free beer, isnt it ?
5% alcohol
jean-benoit Allain Beck's does make a non-alcoholic beer. But he's drinking regular Beck's, which definitely has alcohol.
I didnt knew, we only got the beck without alcohol here ! :O
That's Beck's Blue.
blind man drinking an cooking what can go wrong
probably nothing...
I can't.. 😂
It looks like the beginning of a bad joke hahajahaja
I make more of a mess and I'm fully sighted. Continuously knocking drinks over. Seriously thinking about that non spill cup.
Lol the milk I was drinking just came out my nose when I read this comment!xD
He's just so happy XD this is why I'm subscribed
Happy or drunk all the time? lol
He knows the meaning of life.
For a blind guy he sure says "u see" a lot lol love him
Well since its a phrase so yeah
Well assuming his audience are people without visual impairment then he is not wrong. :P
It is totally appropriate to use the term "see" with blind people.
@@jimdammarell2338It's not appropriate to use to term hear with deaf people so...
@toyo8460 not true? "Hearing ppl" is the term deaf ppl use to describe those not deaf or hard of hearing
This is damn scary watching him touch all the hot things and almost get burnt.
Chris Harrison humans can create technology for iphones etc but we cannot even make cooking devices for the blind...
I was crying after watching a few of his videos because he goes through a lot everyda
ASEEL althary and is still happier than most of us
+Incompetent Gamer you are so true
I bet if someone goes blind they will feel bad for themselves for taking sight for granted, but for Tommy here, it's a completely different ballgame as he seriously doesn't know what sight is at all.
he sounds and looks like such a nice person
i just discovered your channel and i am hooked! Love the positivity

My friend lived with us for about 6 months. One day my grandmother was cooking dinner and poured us some sunny d. My friend said to me "Why did your grandmother put her finger in the glass?" He was living with us for so long and he had no idea she was blind.
Was your friend blind too? Lol
3nertia, Hello, He *obviously* seen her do it with his vision!💁
@@FirstnameLastname-ur3ll, he was making a joke, maybe you are too idk lmao
Ok but why did she put her finger in the glass??
Naome Lescroart to make sure she didn’t over or under fill the glasses. A no-cost liquid level indicator.
I just love the way he`s always laughing and happy!
Minkki82 having alcholic parents or just deep depression is probably worse than being blind.. I mean, yeah, it's terrible to not see anything but having deep depression is probably worse.
Yeah he's not a victim of being blind he embraces it :)
Jexyzluvsgaming my grandpa is a recovering alcoholic and i was diegnosed with deep depression
His laugh is really contagious
Jonh Snow The reason why able bodied people take everything for granted is because their "normal" is having everything, like food, the internet, clothes etc, but as soon as they lose something, they realise that being positive is what they should have been doing when they had these things. shame
he's so funny and optimistic and i just think it's so cute like he would be my best friend he is so great
ur an expert, especially when you can cook blind and almost drunk
I can't stop laughing at your comment...
My sister went completely blind in her mid-20s, about 20 years ago. She cooks extremely well and can usually tell when things are done by how they smell. She can tell the difference between regular and chocolate milk by how they sound when poured. It's amazing how her other senses really pick up the slack. She's apprehensive about using the stove when her 3 year old grandson is around, mostly because he likes to "help." She's a trooper!
You're such a lovely inspiration, Tommy. Your positivity and smile warms my soul! The world is a better place for having you in it.
Man, i can hardly cook burgers and I'm fully sighted
same I just order fast food
Get a George Foreman Grill.
Q: How does a blind person cook food?
A: Very carefully. :-D
And drinking while doing so

My God you have an awesome personality, how are your videos not more popular?
+Alexa Einzelganger you should be dating him. he needs a good woman... to cook for him.
I have so much respect for this man and what he goes through everyday.
I just can't see how you can hate life watching this, let alone be in a bad mood. This guy always brightens my mood. Love your videos, Tommy.
This guy is pure awesome.
Okay, because I have a sense of humor I have to crack up at the fact that there are ad's for GLASSES popping up on this video hahahaha.. The craziest things happen on my channel too but this did make me laugh. I know with your sense of humor you'd agree lol.
Ironic ads are always the best though the most fucked up one I had was a life insurance ad while watching a documentary about highest death tolls in various wars...now thats fucked up lol.
I saw an ad for headphones on Rikki Poynter's video.
Hey Tommy, i recently found your channel, the videos are a great source of information on people trying to understand blindness and you have a great personality in presenting it.. keep up the videos..
It make me happy to watch your videos and see how happy you are
man I love ur videos u make me so happy since ur happy all the time
Same, I always watch his videos when I'm in a bad mood, and I become way happier.
"Now that's what I call delicious!"
Tommy, you're such a dork.
This channel softens our hearts. That kind of thing is priceless.
I love you, Tommy. There should be more people like you! I love the optimism you have.
He's so positive! It's amazing!
NOOOOOO NOT THE BEER!! I never thought I was tuning in to a horror movie lol
bless your heart man. i wish i could be there to help.
this is sooo kind! but tommy looks like he doesn't neet help! so stop trying to "help" - try drinking a beer with people like tommy and ask how they are!
I just learned a blind person can cook better than me
i can barely plug my phone in when it's dark.... nice job bro.
The steak hand thing is close, but not quite. "Touch your thumb and your index finger together in the "OK" sign, and then press the fleshy part of your palm right below the thumb with your other hand. Feel how soft and malleable that is? That's the way rare steak feels when you press it!
Now touch your other fingers to your thumb, one at a time. As you move from your index finger to your pinky, the pad of your thumb will get progressively more firm and resistant. This feels similar to steak as it cooks, moving from rare (index finger) to medium-rare (middle finger) to medium (ring finger) to well-done (pinky)."
Well I just learnt something new :) haha
My face as I do this
"OAO ... He's right."
that's so cool! I just spent a full 5 minutes squishing my hand haha
I don't know how you cope buddy, I'm 18 and visually impaired, pretty badly but not completely blind... I still can't drive and perform alot of basic, simple tasks and I still can't get quite alot of jobs that normally sighted people could do..
I have massive respect for you, I find it so hard coming to terms with the fact that I can't do things, so much so that at the moment I've been contemplating suicide instead of spending my whole life being plagued with issues and boundaries that I cannot get past. Even things like catching a bus are a struggle alone, if not mere impossible. There is no hope for me :c
Don't say that! You just have to look at the things you CAN do and not the things you can't. You just have to ask others for help if you need it. I'm visually impaired myself and can't drive or do a lot of things others can. I just disregard them. If they can do something I can't, so what? I can still do many other things just like them. Honestly there's no need to worry!
You'll get through just fine like everyone else. Just got to surround yourself with positivity! And if you need to, try talking to a psychiatrist. I'm sure they'll be able to help you figure things out! Don't be ashamed of seeing them either. It's for your benefit, not anyone else's.
+Mirozenx Hang in there. Science is going to take a great leap forward in the next 10 years.
+Mirozenx You know I have a blind acquaintance at University, and she's the best language learner and singer I've ever met. Your other sense will be stronger, make use of those because you will be able to top sighted people in many things. And if science has a chance of fixing your vision and succeeds... the world is literally yours, you'll be like superman with vision and all the things you pick up without it.
+Mirozenx That sounds rough! But there's hope for you! I'm bipolar and used to be overwhelmed by everything I'd never do. I'll never drive a car (due to medications) or have kids. But try not to compare yourself to others too much (easier said than done.) I hope you're doing better than when you wrote this comment. There's always hope, sometimes it's pretty hard to find, but it's there.
I've heard (not sure if true) that women who are blind have much stronger orgasms during sex. The brain does not have to deal with all the signals that it usually does from sight. That means a lot of the neurons in the brain are redistributed towards other senses. Like the sense of pleasure (touch).
So you might want to try it out and please report back on if that's true :)
My new favorite UA-cam channel. I'm hooked.
I know this will never come across you but You are an awesome human being Tommy. A true inspiration and I thank you for doing what you do
You're so awesome like you just pass on your happiness over an internet connection even :)
Tommy I have a hell of a lot of respect for you sharing everything on the internet with us!
mcdonalds, burger king or the krabby patty should defanately hire this dude, he makes patties like a boss
+Incompetent Gamer They would be afraid he might set the whole restaurant on fire.
on second thought no, he should stick to being a traffic reporter, even though e doesn't know what a traffic jam looks like :P
Best job for him would be in radio or right here on youtube as a reporter on movie & comic conventions and stuff.
He hasn't done a movie review on his BlindFilmCritic channel in years.
You mean the Krusty Krab
I love this channel! Great guy answering questions I have wanted to ask and explaining things that never occurred to me as a sighted person.
i know the cooking is simple so that there are extra unnecessary steps but you need some veggies too Tommy! :D you dont even need to cut that lettuce, it is easy :) no cooking injuries
Terinka14 Blind people can pretty safely use a knife. If you need your sight to dice or cut, then your form is wrong and you're likely to injure yourself anyways.
But vegetarians dont live as long r.i.p Michael Clark Duncan
@@kynigosthewolf4573 just watch/listen to a Gordian Ramsey video he tells how to cut in a safe way
I have been watching your videos for years since high school I really enjoy watching them you are always positive and don't let you being blind put you in a bad mood
TOMMY THE FRIS ARE STILL IN THE OVEN! fuck i know you cant read this.
The computer reads it for him I think
He does read the comments.
he can read it :).
i'm almost certain that his friend who also edits the videos reads them out to him.
Fraxton No, he's talked about it before. He doesn't edit them obviously. He has a person to do that. But reading the comments he can do himself :). He has a program that reads everything on the page.
This video makes me want to cry. I realize how much I've taken my ability to see for granted. He has an attitude towards life I want to aspire to have.
WOAH. 0:40. How did he stick the plug in that quickly? It takes me several tries to plug it in when I'm in the dark.
Most likely he keeps it in the same place so that it's easy to remember.
Hand coordination and he really knows his house
he knows that socket inside out, he has been sitting in the dark for days learning where it is, so now it's a mental picture..
I love all of your videos! You have such a great laugh! And you're super positive. Makes my day when I watch your videos.
i respect this guy so much, i cant stop smiling
Hey Tommy just wanna say appreciate your videos a lot! Like many people your videos make me appreciative of a lot of smaller things in life. Like when you describe your favorite sounds or touches. Have a great day man.
this is looking like me when im hungover except im not blind
I have a blind aunt and she showed me that people who lack the things we take for granted everyday are more genuine, grateful human beings. You sir, have solidified my opinion and given just enough hope for the human race to go to bed not depressed. Thank you.
Do you ever get afraid that you might be using poison/pesticide mistakenly when eating etc?
Hell I am afraid I might do that some day and I have functioning eyes, ha.
Is your kitchen full of those glass bottles with the skull and cross bones, filled with bright green liquid?
***** is your dumb ass talking to me?
***** I was referencing your question you commented on this post... Fucking moron.
cockboy12 Why would I be talking to you?.. you didn't make the comment, you didn't even comment on it before I commented.
Your name's very appropriate.
Thank you! I have a cousin who is blind. When he was still a baby, the doctors performed surgery to both his eyes and a medical error damaged his optical nerves. He has the same tremors you do. And we don't know why either...
My cousin is still young, but he isn't nearly as independent as you are... I wish he could understand english so he would be able to learn from your experience! I can't contact him...or else I'd send him translations... Thank you for being so positive and inspiring!
So it's regular cooking, just a little more hands-on. Makes me want to eat a burger now!
thank u Tommy!! ive been cookn since im about 12 (i am now 33). cooked in several resturants and i never knew the "hand test" for medium, well done, or rare!!! you are for sure "WELL DONE" thanks again! keep them videos coming! :)
Man I'm so sorry I laughed so hard when the bottle fell
I've never seen anyone as charismatic as yourself, keep on the good work buddy!
you got me so sad i delt really sorry and then your positivity hit me
I love your videos
1:24 wow, excellent info there
1:30 damn those hiding beers. I know that problem.
For testing burgers or steak. The way I learned it is that lightly touching the thumb tip to the tip of the index finger and tapping the palm at the base of the thumb is rare. Thumb to middle finger is medium-rare. Thumb to index finger is well. And thumb to small finger is well-done.
You should have a cook-off between yourself and a seeing person blindfolded.
lol but he has obviously got so much more practice.. how about you try doing something blindfolded to actually grasp ho hard it is. remember he is blind from birth
That would be unfair to the sighted person! :)
These videos are so interesting and insightful. Thank you!
Wow, this guy is awesome! I would have died of starvation if I had to cook without seeing anything..
This video made me cry he has a BIG heart he doesn't get sad about his condition and even i think he feels proud many of us don't know how to cook but this is a super challenge for him... You are my new hero I'm so proud of you!
i dont know why i cant watch this with out alm[ost tearing up, i cant help it but feel bad for him, and want to help him, the way he juttered the burger near him, made me feel like drying, i feel so privaliged dude you make me feel so good abouit myself
yeah i know
***** Yeah ikr, so cool were are amazing as a race
HOW IS HE SO POSITIVE?? This guy is seriously my new hero
How do you know you grabbed the fries from the freezer? And how do you tell if something like meat or cheese has gone bad? I'd be so frustrated to make a good burger only to bite down and find id topped it with moldy cheese or something
Bad meat or cheese stinks.
you can obviously feel and smell if somethings gone bad
Cheese gets furry and meat stinks. Freezers are cold. lol
He can read the expiration date thanks to braille, I guess.
belandino there is usually no braille on food packagings
I want to give this guy one of my eyes for some reason, I watched almost all his videos in one day, great guy
0:27 tommy shure drinks a whole lot of beer :)
it's good german beer though ;)
Loving your videos! They make my day! Not long discovered your channel so I have a lot of watching to do to catch up!
I love this guy's positivity
I love the subtitles! I'm studying english and it helps me a lot
"Safety First" ha
This channel is such a great inspiration for our upcoming "flying blind" film project!
how do you clean your house? I mean, doing the burger, grease and ketchup could fall to the ground or cabinet doors and you wouldnt know it. how do you keep your house clean without hiring anyone to do it for you?
@TommyEdisonXP you have helped me learn the proper way to cook a burger using my hands to tell if its finished or not. thank you!
boi you need some cheese on that burger
RegularDude he doesn't like cheese
he doesn't eat cheese because when he was a kid they used to dare each other to stand in a dairy factory that made aged cheese & the smell was so God awful he's never ate cheese since . He talks about it in his Worst Smells video
i absolutely love this guy one of the best channels on youtube
he is so funny
this video was lit
You're just an awesome human being :) every video puts a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing your infectious positive attitude!
I would love to know what flavors are your favorite. Just because I met a man who is blind since birth and I wanna cook something nice and tasty for him - He kinda likes everything sweet, but dislikes salad for example. I wonder if it's just because he has never eaten a very good salad with nice tasty ingredients because he eats this delivered food a lot which is served in canteens. Or that he simply don't like it. He loves coke and chocolate and sauces on everything. But I was thinking about if I could surprise him with a very fresh meal with some really good things and interesting flavors... Maybe that would be a nice thing to do. :) Or should I just stay on the boring save side and serve him a burger XD I just don't want to ask HIM because I want to kinda surprise :)
I've just started watching Tommy's videos and I already love him.
His hands shake a lot and that hurts my heart.
Heaven Green I feel so bad for him when I watch his videos. But at least hes in a good mood and can do what he likes
Heaven Green his hand shakes cause hes had tremors all his life and no neurologist could find out why he says it in one of his videos
Don't feel sorry for him, he said it himself, he is what he is and he accpets that 110%
@@chriss9187which video?
This was wonderful. Hello from Los Angeles. I love these videos. Great job!
His laugh is like a drug to me lol
I've been watching your videos all day. I first discovered the one about psycidelics last night. I've learned a lot and laughed even more!
the only thing I wanna know is how do you know to stop wiping. It just bucks me.
smell it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
What if it smells clean and feels clean but it's very dirty.
He actually made a video about wiping :P
*bugs
Thanks for the delightful humorous attitude!
you're funny as hell
without my glasses i can't see anything, its just a blur
i am pretty happy watching other videos in this channel. but this one makes me so sad ,, i truely wish the technology can give u a vision even a blurry one ..god bless
Those sure are a lot of beers. I sure hope Tommy doesn't have a drinking problem
Tommy you are a facinating character! I enjoy watching your videos! You are so positive and I love it! Never change who you are!
I love how happy he always is, but I just saw those empty bottle... now we know why lol 😂
What is being drunk like for a blind person? I love how charismatic and upbeat you are. There should be more people like you. Plus you're funny as hell.
damn you can cook better than me
I tell ya Tommy, I'm glad you couldn't see how close you were to burning yourself several times there! I was very nervous for you but you did just as good as anyone else. You have the best channel on UA-cam. Have a great day. Thanks for making ours great.
When you buy beer instead of milk...
He doesn't like milk tho. Said it in a blind cereal taste test.
I wonder if it is because he accidentally got some expired milk at some point in life?
I LOVE milk, but if it's going to expire in a few days, I won't touch it! I couldn't imagine the gamble if I couldn't read the expiration date!
Mikey Christmas Omg you're right D:
