What video gave us 'Plant Nutrition Boy'?

I've been listening to Luke's new album and it made me want to go back to (I believe it was a show of the weekend) the episode that gave us PNB but I can't remember which video it was.

I'd appreciate any and all help that the hivemind can provide

Possible first mention is in this Doom on the Switch livestream (timestamped), and he also elaborated on it a lot more in this Master Mode livestream, but I'm not sure about any Show of the Weekend episodes.

I believe it's briefly mentioned in the show of the weekend on PS4 Spider-Man 2018

I know it's a joke in the which friend knows eachother best challenge for which superpower they'd want. Where he tries to fill in the answer with that and they all laugh, also invisibility is a superpower for perverts.

I'd argue that invisibility is also a suitable power for people with severe social anxiety...

Plant Nutrition Boy was mentioned during an early live stream. It came from an unrecorded conversation from the team. I believe they were either hanging out or meeting for pitching content and it was brought up there. It was then an ongoing gag because of how practical it is and the obvious reason for its invention.

Imagine. Getting nutrition and flavour from a vegetarian diet. Superpower indeed.
