Finally, Ninja reminisced about his first job working at a noodle store. From the way he talked about it, it seems like Tyler can still make a mean Penne Rosa as he still remembers the recipe perfectly.
Clearly, Ninja has had a colorful journey before his rise to fame. This could be the biggest reason he is one of the most humble streamers out in there.
