Actually, I never expected anything else. It was an interview of Terry about Expandables and his attitude and how he shifted it during the movies. He talked about how he was unhappy that his character had little screentime and few lines so he didn't give it 100%. And he was miserable and made others miserable. And then he thought back at his beginning in the movie industry and flipped a switch. gave it 110% and that's how he does everything now. Or, in the immortal words of philosopher Ron Swanson: Never half ass two things. Whole ass one thing.
I loved that! A lot of the other guests are like may we eat, can I dig in? He like oh there’s food? Time to eat. doesn’t hold back and eats ALOT too you can really tell how open of a person he is
Terry is such a great guy and I'm constantly amazed at how vulnerable he is willing to let himself be. He's strong in more than just body and that makes him a beautiful human being.
@@CriticalJ The best part to me is that he is working his damndest to keep the cycle his father started from continuing. I did that myself by not wanting kids at all.
This is what masculinity looks like, being vulnerable, having accountability, and constantly trying to improve yourself. Terry is such a great role model
How did I not know Terry Crews was basically in High school musical? The sports team wanted him to quit art and the art people wanted him to quit sports?? Throw in a thousand miles and you've got yourself a new high school musical😂
That resonated with me as well. The first thing I thought of was cops who were picked on and bullied in highschool, they HAD to be driven by that experience.
Oh my gosh. I had no idea Terry crews grew up like this. Him being open and discussing his traumas just shows how strong he is. Wow. He is amazing. I feel so much for his inner child. He became who he needed.
Honestly one of if not the best episode of last meals. Josh and Terry being vulnerable and talking about heavy topics while keeping everyone smiling is just beautiful
I love that Terry ACTUALLY ate the food!! Everyone else takes a bite or two… but you can really see that he is enjoying the food, the conversation and the experience as a whole!!
See that’s the side about big guys that most people don’t know about. There this big intimidating walls but their soft marshmallow on the inside delate and was forced to be the big guy that they are to escape and take on their pain/fears
I protected my mom from my dad. I was smaller than my dad, I was 13. Changed my life and left my dad with a scar on his forehead. Sometimes he still shows me and says "Look what you did to me."
“The way my father walked around the house was like Godzilla” I felt that deep. When I see my step father now his steps don’t sound as loud. When you’re young and scared those footsteps are your worst nightmare. You ether experience trauma and grow up broken or experience trauma and grow up stronger.
So true! I was like that with my mum, the sound of her car coming into the driveway in the evening was my sign to go upstairs into my room and lay low, and the sound of her footsteps up the stairs would make me hold my breath, and I would be silently wishing that she just needed the bathroom. I would only really take a breath of relief once she went back downstairs. It's no wonder I started getting panic attacks at the age of 6/7! Unfortunately I'm still not able to forgive her 100%, but I'm getting there. Thank God for therapy! 😂
Terry Crews is exactly what a man should thrive to be like. He is an amazing image of health, both mental and physical, growth as a person, vulnerability, understanding, and having the ability to adapt to life.
The way Terry can just jump right into talking about each meal like practically needing no lead in from Josh, just shows how into it he is. He is present, sharing, and thrivin
Yeah I love how with Terry we don’t get the usual macho tough guy and get a nice friendly good dude to conversate with and feel like u just made a new friend
He's just a great role model no matter what, I'm a trans girl and I look up to him more than nearly anyone. Even if IRL I would have to look down on him
Eating and talking is hard as hell. Terry did it so well. Even talking as much as he does, exposing his heart and soul, enjoying the foods he loves at the same time. :) What a great show

I'm always so impressed at how comfortable Terry is with being emotionally vulnerable on camera. Takes real courage and confidence to do that and I massively appreciate him for it.
For reasons I won't get into I cried when Terry told the story about his dad. I didn't expect this episode to hit me so hard. Big shout out to Mr. Crews for discussing his flaws and being so open I don't think anybody saw that coming. What I love about this show is even though it is comedy in nature, there are a few Last Meals episodes that really go deep.
Oh my God. @@Sam-Pereira I'm so very sorry. My abuser was my mom. It's made it easier for me to decide the kind of woman I want to be. Good luck to you. ❤
As a kid from Flint Michigan, I can say Terry Crews is a local legend and icon. One of the kindest people with a heart of gold who just wants to enjoy his life. He shows people from any inner city that they can follow their dreams without jeopardizing who they are. I've always admired him for that.
Terry Crews has one of the best last meals I’ve ever seen. It covers everything you got sweet, spicy, salty, savory. You got foods from Europe, Africa, American, etc. You got unhealthy and healthy this is one of the best last meals I’ve ever seen
I would have thought an interview show couldn’t get better than Hot Ones. The absolute depth and personal reflection that these interviews get into is so therapeutic for everyone involved including us, the audience. I could definitely see the emotion on Josh’s face as Terry was talking about his dad. It really struck him hard and deep. By far the best interview show and concept ever concocted. And Josh definitely learned from Johnny Carson by just letting his guest talk.
He came by the Chipotle I was working at in 2017 (Pasadena, CA) and couldn't have been nicer when asking him about Brooklyn 99. I gave him some grapefruit Izzes for free and he gave me the strongest handshake I've ever experienced in my life.
Terry Crews is honestly a huge inspiration as a man. Not because of his physical strength and appearance, but because of his wisdom, experiences, and that it's OK to have emotions
Growing up with an abusive father I used to dream about what Terry did and as I sat watching and crying with him I’m thankful I found therapy , thank you Terry for being brave and sharing ,hearing your story freed me from an old burden .
Traditional/TV interviewers should be on notice... Josh and Sean are running CIRCLES around them. Not only in the entertainment value, but allowing the rest of us to hear fascinating insights from people.
What Josh and Sean do well, and Sean talks about this in his interview of Alexa Chung who inspired The Hot Ones interview format with her The Big Ones interviews, is their format is specifically designed to knock celebrities out of their media training. I think once their minds are no longer following their training, it opens up the space for more human natural conversations. A lot of interviews are either promotional or just trying to get scoops out of celebrities and thus follow the same format celebrities are trained for; so it ends up feeling pretty transactional and repetitive. I think what Sean does well is try to highlight great things about his interviewees; so people can learn something about the actual human being interviewed. I think Josh does this as well, but instead of trying to highlight great things about them, he'll highlight moments about their life where their humanity is a large part the story. Amelia also does pretty well getting a human interaction with her guests by being intentionally awkward and framing the interview as a date, but I feel like I don't really learn much about the celebrities in her interviews since there's no space to get into a deep conversation.
Terry Crews is me. Never knew this side of him and already loved the guy...this is why this show is amazing! The sheer rawness... this is a program that makes you hungry and gives you chills and feels.
I used to intern at a radio station in Philly. I met Terry one day. He took the time to meet every single person on the team. Shook all their hands. This man is one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met. He’s got so much grace and deserves his flowers! So happy for him and his success.
I wonder if Terry knows how cathartic this episode would be for so many people. This was an amazing episode, I’m 100% sure that this will go down as my number 1 favorite episode of this whole series. What a beautiful person inside and out.
Man Terry is so inspirational. In this day and age where everyone is just cynical and tired, he's literally like a breath of fresh air. I wish we had more people like Terry.
Such a great guy!!! Terry Crews is a nerdy artist, comedian, actor, musician inside an olympian body. The funniest role he played was in The Longest Yard remake with Adam Sandler when he just kept pulling out cheeseburgers from everywhere all throughout the movie 😂😂😂
The last course was straight out of that movie. I kept thinking "I got the shakes that'll make you quake. I got the fries that'll cross your eyes. I got that burgers that'll... I just got burgers."
Terry talking about fighting his father was truly powerful, It's amazing how well Josh and everyone on the crew make this show and get the BEST interviews out of anyone
Terry is the epitome of loyalty, respect, and dedication. A true role model. I was in tears through half of this and with what I’m going through right now, I feel a lot of inspiration. Thank you for conducting this interview. You have no idea how many people need to hear this.
Man, after just having my first therapy session yesterday, that conversation about Terry’s dad hit me like a truck. Go to therapy, guys especially. You owe you and your future self that healing.
"when you're young you dont know you're poor" How I miss the innocence of childhood Love Terry Crews, so happy he came on. Listening about his childhood makes it clear why he tries so hard with his children to understand and be a part of their hobbies
This was so healing. Went through a lot of similar things as Terry and him talking about taking responsibility over your life really shifted my perspective.
My dad's whole family was beaten by his dad growing up. He kept my sister and I away from his parents until he felt they were little to no risk to us. Him and his siblings faced up to their dad as he got towards the end of his life and asked him why he did it. He had no words. Needless to say I'm grateful for my dad choosing to never lay a hand on any of us and doing the right things even when he'd never had the right things himself. Love the episode and it's good to hear other people have experienced the same things
I never allowed my kids to meet my dad. I went to see him on his death bed and all he could say to me was "I'm sorry" and he cried. That's all I needed. I'm still broken but it helped that he acknowledged it.
That's a man who is thankful to and loves his wife dearly. She's included in like everything he talks about. It shows how much she means to her. This episode got me good, definitely cried. There's something about this guy you grew up watching who was like peak machismo being completely open and vulnerable. It's just so human. This is how I wish we could all communicate.
This is, without question, the most raw, inspiring, and heartfelt conversation I have ever heard. What an absolute home run of a discussion. Terry is an absolute gem. Man.
Hoooo I knew I was gonna cry today but him taking accountability for his workaholism as a father wasn't what I was expecting to get me. I am glad that he was able to sit with those feelings.
As a father to a 1 year old, that hit me hard, cause Im tryin to figure out how to work on that myself, I sit and work and think "Im doin this so that she has everything I didnt growin up" but my partner has pointed out that we may have money and physical stuff like gifts and toys, but that they dont get a lot of time with me, that I miss a lot of the small moments, and it hit me that those moments are more precious than money or the physical could ever be
@@theillusionaryone Thats true, I wonder if for your breaks or lunch you could videocall? Then again, nothing beats being there in person. I wish the best for you and your family! May you figure out how to be there more, and all the power to ya!
I had the same discussion with my folks 3 years ago. They were great parents separately, but when together it was madness. 25 years later & the cycle is broken, my dad is learning how to live independently, & my mom has begun to work on her mental health & communication skills. They've admitted to the past wrongs & have shown continuous effort to thrive forward for us adult kids. ❤
I had to pause for a second when I saw this come up in my notifications, because Terry has been on Mythical a few times now. There was the Tiny Foods episode with him on GMM and also the Food Fears in GMK.
100% this was an absolute DREAM interview for Josh. As someone who worked out as a coping mechanism and sort of "identity" even before he discovered his career passion, I feel like Josh has such a kinship with Terry and his background of poverty, uncertainty, insecurity, and eventual triumph and finding meaning. Great interview, Terry is so incredible.
Terry told that story about the time he hit his dad during another interview some years back in greater detail. It literally changed my life and I will always be greatful towards this man for sharing that difficult story.
Oh my god. I was unaware that Terry Crews had such an upbringing. It just goes to show how strong he is because he is willing to talk about his hardships. Whoa. He is very remarkable. I'm really sympathetic to his inner child. He evolved into what he need.
I have come close to crying before from watching Last Meals but this was the first time I actually did. When Mr. Terry Crews spoke about his past with his family and his struggles and how he healed, I had to pause the video because I was sobbing so hard. It just really touched me to hear him talk about these topics. Which I KNOW couldn't have been easy for him to talk about but thank you for sharing. I always knew he was a man of many talents but I had no idea he was a man of such deep wisdom too.
Hearing Terry being so vulnerable talking about his father and fight him. When you wanna beat your own but hearing him saying that he felt NOTHING out of it
i cant help but respect terry, ive watched him talk a couple times and hes so open and honest. even if it is to his own detriment, and it has been, he doest hide who he is or more importantly who and what helped shaped him into the person he is today. the context is everything.
I think one of the greatest things a journalist/interviewer can do is produce a piece of media that can both entertain and cause the viewer to look inward about their own experiences. This hit the spot on both just right and I am so so grateful for the opportunity to experience this episode.
This is the best interview on youtube, not only is there great food, terry was able talk his heart out, huge probs to josh being such an amazing interviewer and listener.
Honestly, the last question asked to everyone who is invited to Last Meals - "Are you happy?" It's such a powerful question, and when us, the audience hears a quick and positive response on it, I think I can speak for the most of us that it's a small sense of motivation and immediately puts a smile on your face. You immediately look up to this person a lot more within a second. It does have an impact on us watching. These interviews are curated so well.
Can I just shout out the sound design in this episode?? The background music throughout the conversation was perfectly capturing the mood. What a wonderful team with such passion. Thank you all for this!
Terry Crews has to be one of the most unexpectedly inspirational celebs I’ve ever seen. He ofc played football, but he really came into the public eye after some comedy films, and ofc being in everybody hates Chris. I always saw him as a goofy actor, but he just so happens to be this vulnerable, outspoken and effortlessly inspiring.
Honestly, this episode should be on its own pedestal, absolutely the best one yet. This hits on so many levels, we really don’t deserve a man like Terry Crews. Thank you all for putting together one heck of an interview!
This is one of my favourite episodes. Terry is a man who has LIVED life, and continues to love life. He has so much wisdom and many lessons which shows just how emotionally intelligent he is, not to forget entertaining!
I've always loved Terry Crews because he's funny and energetic and just an overall cool personality. Sometimes celebrities I love come on this show and they are a little snotty or a little stuck up and it makes me sad. I have to say, this interview made me respect Terry Crews 10x more than I already did. He is so nice to Josh and all the staff, so polite, well mannered, and actually seems like he wants to be there and is having a great time. Not to mention how vulnerable and human he gets. Man. What a great dude. Thank you Terry Crews.
I'm a silent Mythical Beast, but Josh........ you have found your calling in journalism & interviewing. You asked the questions that most would shy away from or simply leave as is, but you kept digging to get to the true soul of the person on the other side. In this case, Terry. Kudos to you and the entire Mythical Kitchen crew. ❤❤❤❤❤
What an episode. Terry getting real, Josh asking great questions and just taking it all in. Terry is always so genuine and honest and downright inspirational.
That episode is THE best episode out yet. Such a mentally and spiritually powerful guest talking about the weaknesses that no one else would even started talking about. Absolutely made my day and motivated me to do the things that i've thought about for a long time. Thank you Terry Crews and Mythical Kitchen team for this episode
Hearing someone talk so candidly about rapture theology hits deep. I grew up in an Evangelical "Baptist" Church and that was a big fear tactic and for a kid from a broken home, that haunted me.
Waking up to or coming home to an empty house evoked so much fear in me as a child, constantly worried that you messed up somehow. The Left Behind series really did a number on a generation of kids who grew up in the church.
SAME! I grew up in the same kind of environment and while I'm really no longer religious, I don't think that "what if I'm wrong" thought will ever leave the recesses of my memory. Fun times
Terry Crews is my official favorite guest up to now. He made me feel all the emotions and it resonated so hard with me. So down to earth. The whole episode was a biography of his life through food. ❤
This is probably one of the best last meals so far. Terry is just so open and willing to talk through anything, there's no holding back. What a fantastic dude and fantastic episode.
This was the absolute BEST Last Meal. Josh did his best with his questions and Terry Crews had me in tears. Obviously the Mythical Kitchen did their best recreating Terry's favorites!
I have felt very weak and cowardly the last several months of my life. Felt like I've been doing everything wrong and that I have no hope for myself. This interview and Terry's talk of self fulfillment and knowing how to act for the greater-good of yourself but also those you care most about is utterly empowering. I still feel I have a long way to go, but this man's words as he indulges on some ribs and smoothies is something I hope can change me as a person and as a man. Thanks Terry.
You're the opposite of cowardly. You being able to vocalize that and putting yourself out there proves you are earnest, and earnesty involves a vulnerability, which then follows a necessity of bravery. I'm sorry you're going through a lot, but hang in there. As cliche as it sounds: In the darkest of night lives the brightest star. You got this :) I believe in you!
@@fellbeast Thanks for taking time to respond to me when there was literally not a single reason to. It's comforting to know my comment wasn't left in the void and that a random beautiful human cares about what I had to say. I'll be your first subscriber so I never forget you Mary.
I haven’t been in the best place as of recently but the way Terry talks about taking back your power and his views on life, death, and just living is really insightful and it really makes me want to take back my life for what it is
Terry is one man you can look at and genuinely assert “damn, he earned this” his work ethic, his moral ethic, his self-growth ethic and his positive attitude are always on full display and I respect the hell out of this man.
I just love how down to earth and genuine Terry Crews is. If he was just a regular Joe walking down the street and not famous, he could come across as intimidating just based on his stature, but he is so sweet. Definitely a person I would be honored to have as a friend. Enjoyed this thoroughly.
Brooklyn 99 and Scrubs are my comfort shows I get depressed and I will watch one of them from beginning to end..Must have watched Brooklyn 99 from start to finish about a dozen times.
Terry Cruz seems like a genuine, caring man. I love that he admits he had to work very hard to care about others' feelings and un-learn toxic traits. Regardless of race, gender, or age, we should all work hard to be better towards others and ourselves like he has. And, we can't ignore the host and how great he us at being honest, understand, and open to learning/growth. One of the best episodes I've seen.
Man, Terry Crews is just incredible. I am such a fan of this man, and have been for years. The positivity, the wisdom, the love, Terry crews is the embodiment of what a human being should be. Love him so much.
I'm lit crying, it's so heartbreaking how violent childhood and environment can do in our brains and hearts, and the strength you need to break the circle. What an amazing artist, athlete and human being. We love u Terry!
Love how Terry absolutely takes this as a dinner between two friends, more than an actual interview and focuses on eating.
Right? Josh usually has to remind people to eat, but not this time, because Terry was there to *enjoy* that food. Loved it!
Nemlig. Bare afslappet og ligetil
hands down the best episode ive seen terry really is just cool

Two grown men being vulnerable, talking about breaking the cycle, self empowerment and therapy!! What an episode, well done team 🫡👏🏻🥹
So beautiful

Terry is such a great guy and I'm constantly amazed at how vulnerable he is willing to let himself be. He's strong in more than just body and that makes him a beautiful human being.
@@AngelusNielson Every time I learn something new about Terry Crews, my respect for him grows. Dude is legit.
@@CriticalJ The best part to me is that he is working his damndest to keep the cycle his father started from continuing. I did that myself by not wanting kids at all.
I love how every meal wasn't just "this is tasty so I like it". Each one has a a story involved and you can feel the impact it had on Terry's life.
I noticed that! So sweet
"Did you ever feel comfortable as kid?"
"No."
......I felt that. Damn...
I didn't even realize until he said that how that still lives in my body. Man.
4:40
me too
I’m not even there yet but that line hurts
Same
This is what masculinity looks like, being vulnerable, having accountability, and constantly trying to improve yourself. Terry is such a great role model
He is a king!!! So much respect for him
This is the first time I’ve seen Terry as himself. I’m so humbled. This guy is real.
@@DaxianPrestonALL Terry's interviews are like this. 🎉🎉🎉
I really wish I had someone like this growing up to help guide me. I relate to his upbringing so much.

1. Terry Crews is a national treasure 2. i need that food right now
wasswup peacock?

Away corporate beast!
Dont even think about buying the rights to this show
How did I not know Terry Crews was basically in High school musical? The sports team wanted him to quit art and the art people wanted him to quit sports?? Throw in a thousand miles and you've got yourself a new high school musical😂
Because basically every boy is in high school muscial in that sense, and that's what high school musical tried to preach against

Damn this one went places. Great episode.
That resonated with me as well. The first thing I thought of was cops who were picked on and bullied in highschool, they HAD to be driven by that experience.
Hearing him say "me and my wife" to some of the meals warmed my heart.
@@hereliestales reminded me of the Jason Kelce episode. Couple big wife guys.
You must have missed the Dr Phil special lol @@sarahs.7211

Oh my gosh. I had no idea Terry crews grew up like this. Him being open and discussing his traumas just shows how strong he is. Wow. He is amazing. I feel so much for his inner child. He became who he needed.
he really did become the person he needed as a child and i feel like all of us with childhood trauma needs to think like that as well.
You should read his autobiography. 🎉

Those muscles need the calories, so it worked out well for him.
Yeah, I think it's hard to eat a meal and get interviewed at the same time though.
That man’s muscle mass can burn through a meal for two families lmao
Same!
The way he talked about having to protect his mom from his dad gave me a newfound respect for Terry.
It was so open and raw.
See that’s the side about big guys that most people don’t know about. There this big intimidating walls but their soft marshmallow on the inside delate and was forced to be the big guy that they are to escape and take on their pain/fears
I protected my mom from my dad. I was smaller than my dad, I was 13. Changed my life and left my dad with a scar on his forehead. Sometimes he still shows me and says "Look what you did to me."
Growing up as a sheltered church kid from the Midwest, it warms my heart to see him so happy with the person he wanted to become.
Josh is literally glowing and Terry is a delight. How nice of him to be so open and vulnerable. Iconic 👏 👑
Hail Satan. 666
Terry is one of the few huge celebrities that feel genuinely down to earth and kind to everyone.
I love when he clicks with his guests. You can so see when he feels appreciated by them.
Hot lights
Like a Keanu Reeves situation
“The way my father walked around the house was like Godzilla” I felt that deep. When I see my step father now his steps don’t sound as loud. When you’re young and scared those footsteps are your worst nightmare.
You ether experience trauma and grow up broken or experience trauma and grow up stronger.
So true! I was like that with my mum, the sound of her car coming into the driveway in the evening was my sign to go upstairs into my room and lay low, and the sound of her footsteps up the stairs would make me hold my breath, and I would be silently wishing that she just needed the bathroom. I would only really take a breath of relief once she went back downstairs. It's no wonder I started getting panic attacks at the age of 6/7! Unfortunately I'm still not able to forgive her 100%, but I'm getting there. Thank God for therapy! 😂
I had this with my older brother when he came back to living with me and my parents.
I still have the power to know who's coming just by listening to their steps.
That last sentence hit hard
Sometimes it's a lil bit of both 💙
Terry Crews is exactly what a man should thrive to be like. He is an amazing image of health, both mental and physical, growth as a person, vulnerability, understanding, and having the ability to adapt to life.
The way Terry can just jump right into talking about each meal like practically needing no lead in from Josh, just shows how into it he is. He is present, sharing, and thrivin
This has been one of the most emotional and deepest last meals. Terry is definitely one of the best masculine role models out there.
Yeah I love how with Terry we don’t get the usual macho tough guy and get a nice friendly good dude to conversate with and feel like u just made a new friend
He's just a great role model no matter what, I'm a trans girl and I look up to him more than nearly anyone. Even if IRL I would have to look down on him
This video had no business making me cry like it did. I only wish to have this level of maturity when I reach Terry's age

He came by the Chipotle I was working at in 2017 (Pasadena, CA) and couldn't have been nicer when asking him about Brooklyn 99. I gave him some grapefruit Izzes for free and he gave me the strongest handshake I've ever experienced in my life.
That's awesome. He seems so genuine and kind.
Any idea what his shirt says? We couldn't read it clearly enough.
Love that story.
I helped him at the Whole Foods on Arroyo years ago. Good dude.
34:12 Terry Crews is the only person to make “no one’s ever really gone” in the context of Star Wars feel legitimate for me 😂
Terry Crews is honestly a huge inspiration as a man. Not because of his physical strength and appearance, but because of his wisdom, experiences, and that it's OK to have emotions
Growing up with an abusive father I used to dream about what Terry did and as I sat watching and crying with him I’m thankful I found therapy , thank you Terry for being brave and sharing ,hearing your story freed me from an old burden .
Read his autobiography.
Terrys whole happy persona is so infectious. you can tell hes a genuinely happy person and loves life. we need more terry crews in the world
Traditional/TV interviewers should be on notice... Josh and Sean are running CIRCLES around them. Not only in the entertainment value, but allowing the rest of us to hear fascinating insights from people.
Josh always connects with people so well too. It feels very genuine and like we’re a part of it vs a stiff interview we’re watching, at least for me.
@@eclecticnomad1972 that can't be easy to do either!
What Josh and Sean do well, and Sean talks about this in his interview of Alexa Chung who inspired The Hot Ones interview format with her The Big Ones interviews, is their format is specifically designed to knock celebrities out of their media training. I think once their minds are no longer following their training, it opens up the space for more human natural conversations.
A lot of interviews are either promotional or just trying to get scoops out of celebrities and thus follow the same format celebrities are trained for; so it ends up feeling pretty transactional and repetitive. I think what Sean does well is try to highlight great things about his interviewees; so people can learn something about the actual human being interviewed. I think Josh does this as well, but instead of trying to highlight great things about them, he'll highlight moments about their life where their humanity is a large part the story.
Amelia also does pretty well getting a human interaction with her guests by being intentionally awkward and framing the interview as a date, but I feel like I don't really learn much about the celebrities in her interviews since there's no space to get into a deep conversation.
Terry Crews? Say less, I am seated
Terry Crews is me. Never knew this side of him and already loved the guy...this is why this show is amazing! The sheer rawness... this is a program that makes you hungry and gives you chills and feels.
I used to intern at a radio station in Philly. I met Terry one day. He took the time to meet every single person on the team. Shook all their hands. This man is one of the nicest human beings I’ve ever met. He’s got so much grace and deserves his flowers! So happy for him and his success.
I wonder if Terry knows how cathartic this episode would be for so many people.
This was an amazing episode, I’m 100% sure that this will go down as my number 1 favorite episode of this whole series. What a beautiful person inside and out.
Took the words out of my mouth, easily my favorite episode of the series.
Man Terry is so inspirational. In this day and age where everyone is just cynical and tired, he's literally like a breath of fresh air. I wish we had more people like Terry.
Such a great guy!!! Terry Crews is a nerdy artist, comedian, actor, musician inside an olympian body. The funniest role he played was in The Longest Yard remake with Adam Sandler when he just kept pulling out cheeseburgers from everywhere all throughout the movie 😂😂😂
The last course was straight out of that movie. I kept thinking "I got the shakes that'll make you quake. I got the fries that'll cross your eyes. I got that burgers that'll... I just got burgers."
Cheeseburger Eddie!!!
It ain’t easy being cheesy…
@@justjones4148 Low-key I thought it was a missed opportunity for Josh not to say the line 😂
@@danielzimmerman7281 39 minutes he says it but terry doesn't hear him and he kind of misquotes it.
Terry talking about fighting his father was truly powerful, It's amazing how well Josh and everyone on the crew make this show and get the BEST interviews out of anyone
Terry is the epitome of loyalty, respect, and dedication. A true role model. I was in tears through half of this and with what I’m going through right now, I feel a lot of inspiration. Thank you for conducting this interview. You have no idea how many people need to hear this.
Man, after just having my first therapy session yesterday, that conversation about Terry’s dad hit me like a truck.
Go to therapy, guys especially. You owe you and your future self that healing.
What a great first. Therapy changed my life and changed me for the better. Wish you the best!
I've never gone before but now that I'm in college I've considered it. Could really help me
@@glassofwater281Definitely do it at least twice, to truly see if it’s for you
"when you're young you dont know you're poor" How I miss the innocence of childhood
Love Terry Crews, so happy he came on. Listening about his childhood makes it clear why he tries so hard with his children to understand and be a part of their hobbies
This was so healing. Went through a lot of similar things as Terry and him talking about taking responsibility over your life really shifted my perspective.
My dad's whole family was beaten by his dad growing up. He kept my sister and I away from his parents until he felt they were little to no risk to us. Him and his siblings faced up to their dad as he got towards the end of his life and asked him why he did it. He had no words. Needless to say I'm grateful for my dad choosing to never lay a hand on any of us and doing the right things even when he'd never had the right things himself. Love the episode and it's good to hear other people have experienced the same things
I never allowed my kids to meet my dad. I went to see him on his death bed and all he could say to me was "I'm sorry" and he cried. That's all I needed. I'm still broken but it helped that he acknowledged it.
Wow, I'm proud of your dad. He sounds like a good man
That's a man who is thankful to and loves his wife dearly. She's included in like everything he talks about. It shows how much she means to her.
This episode got me good, definitely cried. There's something about this guy you grew up watching who was like peak machismo being completely open and vulnerable. It's just so human. This is how I wish we could all communicate.
This is, without question, the most raw, inspiring, and heartfelt conversation I have ever heard. What an absolute home run of a discussion. Terry is an absolute gem. Man.
Hoooo I knew I was gonna cry today but him taking accountability for his workaholism as a father wasn't what I was expecting to get me. I am glad that he was able to sit with those feelings.
As a father to a 1 year old, that hit me hard, cause Im tryin to figure out how to work on that myself, I sit and work and think "Im doin this so that she has everything I didnt growin up" but my partner has pointed out that we may have money and physical stuff like gifts and toys, but that they dont get a lot of time with me, that I miss a lot of the small moments, and it hit me that those moments are more precious than money or the physical could ever be
@@theillusionaryone we all work so hard to give our kids what we didn't have that we sometimes forget to give them what we did.
@@theillusionaryone Thats true, I wonder if for your breaks or lunch you could videocall? Then again, nothing beats being there in person. I wish the best for you and your family! May you figure out how to be there more, and all the power to ya!
I had the same discussion with my folks 3 years ago.
They were great parents separately, but when together it was madness.
25 years later & the cycle is broken, my dad is learning how to live independently, & my mom has begun to work on her mental health & communication skills.
They've admitted to the past wrongs & have shown continuous effort to thrive forward for us adult kids. ❤
The other day I was legit thinking "Huh, it's kind of a shame that Josh has had Terry Crews on Food Fears but not Last Meals", and now here we are 😄
I had to pause for a second when I saw this come up in my notifications, because Terry has been on Mythical a few times now. There was the Tiny Foods episode with him on GMM and also the Food Fears in GMK.
We need more Food Fears episodes
* legitimately
@@vincedibona4687😂wtf
@@vincedibona4687 huh
100% this was an absolute DREAM interview for Josh. As someone who worked out as a coping mechanism and sort of "identity" even before he discovered his career passion, I feel like Josh has such a kinship with Terry and his background of poverty, uncertainty, insecurity, and eventual triumph and finding meaning. Great interview, Terry is so incredible.
Terry told that story about the time he hit his dad during another interview some years back in greater detail. It literally changed my life and I will always be greatful towards this man for sharing that difficult story.
Do you have the link?
@@haileyg10I think it’s an episode of a podcast called Blocks made by Neal Brennan
@@haileyg10 I heard him talk about it previously on Mike Tyson's podcast show Hotboxin', not sure which goes into the most detail
Check out his autobiography.
Oh my god. I was unaware that Terry Crews had such an upbringing. It just goes to show how strong he is because he is willing to talk about his hardships. Whoa. He is very remarkable. I'm really sympathetic to his inner child. He evolved into what he need.
I have come close to crying before from watching Last Meals but this was the first time I actually did. When Mr. Terry Crews spoke about his past with his family and his struggles and how he healed, I had to pause the video because I was sobbing so hard. It just really touched me to hear him talk about these topics. Which I KNOW couldn't have been easy for him to talk about but thank you for sharing. I always knew he was a man of many talents but I had no idea he was a man of such deep wisdom too.
Hearing Terry being so vulnerable talking about his father and fight him. When you wanna beat your own but hearing him saying that he felt NOTHING out of it
i cant help but respect terry, ive watched him talk a couple times and hes so open and honest. even if it is to his own detriment, and it has been, he doest hide who he is or more importantly who and what helped shaped him into the person he is today. the context is everything.
I think one of the greatest things a journalist/interviewer can do is produce a piece of media that can both entertain and cause the viewer to look inward about their own experiences. This hit the spot on both just right and I am so so grateful for the opportunity to experience this episode.
You're so correct
This is the best interview on youtube, not only is there great food, terry was able talk his heart out, huge probs to josh being such an amazing interviewer and listener.
By far, my favorite interview. So fluid, so open, and full of honest emotion. We get to see Terry beyond his fame- thank you!
Honestly, the last question asked to everyone who is invited to Last Meals - "Are you happy?"
It's such a powerful question, and when us, the audience hears a quick and positive response on it, I think I can speak for the most of us that it's a small sense of motivation and immediately puts a smile on your face. You immediately look up to this person a lot more within a second. It does have an impact on us watching. These interviews are curated so well.
To me a quick response makes it seem more defensive than any of those things, but in this video it the quickness seemed like assuredness
This!
The "no" at 4:44 sounds so heartbreaking small coming from such a huge man.
This is the best one yet. I feel like were just eating dinner with a friend. Not a famous actor and no cameras around, just us. What a chill guy.
Can I just shout out the sound design in this episode?? The background music throughout the conversation was perfectly capturing the mood. What a wonderful team with such passion. Thank you all for this!
Appreciate you pointing this out
0:00 - 48:55 -> My favorite part of the video
BEST comment.
Terry Crews has to be one of the most unexpectedly inspirational celebs I’ve ever seen. He ofc played football, but he really came into the public eye after some comedy films, and ofc being in everybody hates Chris. I always saw him as a goofy actor, but he just so happens to be this vulnerable, outspoken and effortlessly inspiring.
Honestly, this episode should be on its own pedestal, absolutely the best one yet. This hits on so many levels, we really don’t deserve a man like Terry Crews. Thank you all for putting together one heck of an interview!
18:00 I love Josh trying to find a place to show off his muscles to Terry for his approval. It was so wholesome!
Dude, Terry has to be the most down to earth, humble, and relatable person in show biz.
What an amazing man. Tough as nails but caring, empathetic. More open than he needs to be. Diverse. Intelligent. The full package.
This is one of my favourite episodes. Terry is a man who has LIVED life, and continues to love life. He has so much wisdom and many lessons which shows just how emotionally intelligent he is, not to forget entertaining!
I've always loved Terry Crews because he's funny and energetic and just an overall cool personality. Sometimes celebrities I love come on this show and they are a little snotty or a little stuck up and it makes me sad. I have to say, this interview made me respect Terry Crews 10x more than I already did. He is so nice to Josh and all the staff, so polite, well mannered, and actually seems like he wants to be there and is having a great time. Not to mention how vulnerable and human he gets. Man. What a great dude. Thank you Terry Crews.
Terry eating for whole crews!
*Absolutely incredible interview.
I'm a silent Mythical Beast, but Josh........ you have found your calling in journalism & interviewing. You asked the questions that most would shy away from or simply leave as is, but you kept digging to get to the true soul of the person on the other side. In this case, Terry. Kudos to you and the entire Mythical Kitchen crew. ❤❤❤❤❤
17:54 was a "terry loves his yogurt" moment NINE NINE
What an episode. Terry getting real, Josh asking great questions and just taking it all in. Terry is always so genuine and honest and downright inspirational.
The juxtaposition of Terry Crews making the cheeseburger look so small next to Josh where it looks normal really took me out 😂
That episode is THE best episode out yet. Such a mentally and spiritually powerful guest talking about the weaknesses that no one else would even started talking about.
Absolutely made my day and motivated me to do the things that i've thought about for a long time. Thank you Terry Crews and Mythical Kitchen team for this episode
Hearing someone talk so candidly about rapture theology hits deep. I grew up in an Evangelical "Baptist" Church and that was a big fear tactic and for a kid from a broken home, that haunted me.
Waking up to or coming home to an empty house evoked so much fear in me as a child, constantly worried that you messed up somehow. The Left Behind series really did a number on a generation of kids who grew up in the church.
SAME! I grew up in the same kind of environment and while I'm really no longer religious, I don't think that "what if I'm wrong" thought will ever leave the recesses of my memory. Fun times
Terry Crews is my official favorite guest up to now. He made me feel all the emotions and it resonated so hard with me. So down to earth. The whole episode was a biography of his life through food. ❤
A biography through food is a beautiful description of this episode and this show in general.
This is probably one of the best last meals so far. Terry is just so open and willing to talk through anything, there's no holding back. What a fantastic dude and fantastic episode.
This was the absolute BEST Last Meal. Josh did his best with his questions and Terry Crews had me in tears. Obviously the Mythical Kitchen did their best recreating Terry's favorites!
I have felt very weak and cowardly the last several months of my life. Felt like I've been doing everything wrong and that I have no hope for myself. This interview and Terry's talk of self fulfillment and knowing how to act for the greater-good of yourself but also those you care most about is utterly empowering. I still feel I have a long way to go, but this man's words as he indulges on some ribs and smoothies is something I hope can change me as a person and as a man. Thanks Terry.
You're the opposite of cowardly. You being able to vocalize that and putting yourself out there proves you are earnest, and earnesty involves a vulnerability, which then follows a necessity of bravery. I'm sorry you're going through a lot, but hang in there. As cliche as it sounds: In the darkest of night lives the brightest star. You got this :) I believe in you!
@@fellbeast Thanks for taking time to respond to me when there was literally not a single reason to. It's comforting to know my comment wasn't left in the void and that a random beautiful human cares about what I had to say. I'll be your first subscriber so I never forget you Mary.
I haven’t been in the best place as of recently but the way Terry talks about taking back your power and his views on life, death, and just living is really insightful and it really makes me want to take back my life for what it is
Terry is one man you can look at and genuinely assert “damn, he earned this” his work ethic, his moral ethic, his self-growth ethic and his positive attitude are always on full display and I respect the hell out of this man.
I just love how down to earth and genuine Terry Crews is. If he was just a regular Joe walking down the street and not famous, he could come across as intimidating just based on his stature, but he is so sweet. Definitely a person I would be honored to have as a friend. Enjoyed this thoroughly.
The quality of guests are ON-POINT lately. Glad to see you guys finally listened. Now it's actually worth watching.
I've been binging Brooklyn 99 recently, and I just love Terry's acting. He never fails to put a smile on my face.
99!
Brooklyn 99 and Scrubs are my comfort shows I get depressed and I will watch one of them from beginning to end..Must have watched Brooklyn 99 from start to finish about a dozen times.
@@macalcord feel the same way about both shows! I only discovered the brilliance of Brooklyn 99 about 6 months ago. Currently doing a rewatch. 😊
@@macalcord i do this exact same thing, i love Brooklyn 99!
Terry Cruz seems like a genuine, caring man. I love that he admits he had to work very hard to care about others' feelings and un-learn toxic traits. Regardless of race, gender, or age, we should all work hard to be better towards others and ourselves like he has. And, we can't ignore the host and how great he us at being honest, understand, and open to learning/growth. One of the best episodes I've seen.
I love you Terry Crews. I am a miniature foodie. And I am in LA.
"It's not your fault but it is your responsibility" I love how Josh included his Last Podcast on the Left fandom in the interview!
Finally, a guest who puts the food in their mouth first! This was great. The vulnerability, the humor, the muscles. Perfection.
Man, Terry Crews is just incredible. I am such a fan of this man, and have been for years. The positivity, the wisdom, the love, Terry crews is the embodiment of what a human being should be. Love him so much.
Terry has me crying over his child hood, this man is so precious and should be protected at all cost!
I kind of always thought of Terry as Funny Muscle Man. This guy has such depth and wisdom and variety and creativity, he's a true gem
I'm lit crying, it's so heartbreaking how violent childhood and environment can do in our brains and hearts, and the strength you need to break the circle. What an amazing artist, athlete and human being. We love u Terry!
24:48 best last meals so far.
