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
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!!
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.
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.
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 is what masculinity looks like, being vulnerable, having accountability, and constantly trying to improve yourself. Terry is such a great role model
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
@TvMaNightmareHD damn you're taller than Mike Myers.. but still his biceps are immaculate I don't think he could be looked down to cuz he's a juggernaut
This is BY FAR one of the best interviews I have seen to date! When someone you idolize can be vulnerable and realteable, THAT says something. Thanks to all the "Crew"
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.
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. ❤
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
@@cody3335 Since you don't seem very intelligent let me dumb it down for you you entitled genetic misfire. Its a saying originated from hail (Ice from Clouds) know being for very dense / hard. Its commonly misspelled / confused for the biblical hell but has no correlation or connection with religion.
I’m a male SA victim and Terry gave me the courage to pursue help. Seeing someone so strong and masculine and someone I really look up to go through the same thing I did and have the strength to come out about it? Damn. Really helped me get through the trauma
If no one else has said it, I am so proud of you for coming forward. As a childhood SA survivor who just put my monster away for life, I know how terrifying that can be. I hope you get the justice you deserve ❤
Man this episode genuinely made me cry, just because I relate to a lot of what Terry was sharing about his fears and insecurities as a youngman growing up in a world that forces us to be tough. 50 minute episode for you, but a lifetime of lessons taught for me. Much appreciated to the both of you
Just wanted to say I find it so funny in a good way that you're talking about relating to these insecurities about growing up in a world that expects you to be tough... and your pfp is a cute kirby in a Ferrari hoodie lmao. You keep rocking that kirby, brother!
“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! 😂
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."
In a time where so many things are coming to light about celebrities and the dark deeds that they do behind the camera, this wholesomeness and genuine heart that Terry shows is much needed. Great video!
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.
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.
This, by far, has been the best episode for me. We can all relate to at least one of the stories he told. The meals were based on different phases in his life, and you can tell how he savored each bite. Showing appreciation for the memory as well as how the food was cooked was so refreshing to watch. Such a great episode to watch!
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😂
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 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
And he has some seriously good insights. His biggest fear is VERY atrocious to live. I'm an adult now, I made money, worked, struggled hard to get many things I needed. Unfortunately this is roughly the time when genetic sickness is becoming severe, I have low diastolic blood pressure all the time, I feel exhausted physically and mentally... despite having now the possibility to do all that I wanted to do all my life. Hearing him say it's a great fear, I feel sort of vindicated? That someone as powerful as him could understand how it is and comprehend, while most people don't. It felt kinda nice :)
Wow. What a profound episode. I did not know Terry had such pivotal events in his life and it's visibly moving to see him recall what he experienced in his childhood as well as his adult years. He's a very kind soul and I wish nothing but the very best for him and his family. Terry just radiates with positivity.
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.
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
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
Terry is so relatable and I love how he talked about his past and growing up and therapy. It's just amazing to see someone like him open up and be so soft. I love that man and he needs to be protected at all costs
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.
One thing I love about this show is how he humanizes them . They’re not celebrities, they’re not being interviewed for publicity. He shows them the kindness and respect and lets people be vulnerable and I love it ❤
Never realized it before but it’s very true that the guests they get never seem to be promoting anything. Press tours are just part of the job for actors, so I don’t blame them for it, but it does always feel like they wouldn’t be doing an interview unless they have something to sell. So it’s refreshing to have an interview series that exists solely for interviews, instead of being a platform for media promotion.
Terry is the kind of man who's always there when you need him. I feel like hugging him every time he talks about something exciting from his life or his past.
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.
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.
"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
One of the absolute best interviews ive ever seen. Huge respect to you for doing your due dilligence about him before and for asking him tough questions
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.
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."
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.
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.
Coming from a household with an abusive father the connection I feel to the stories he experienced is beyond crazy. Multiple times I teared up and choked. Awesome to see that no matter what backgrounds you come from you can prevail and be successful and break the chain of abuse. Terry crews is one of the greatest.
@@Joseph-ny5rr thank you , but honestly being raised like that I didn’t become bitter or angry about it. If anything it showed me what not to become and try to be the best father I can be to my children. 🤙🏿 It was a life lesson, not a sentence. I’m glad to hear your dad is your super hero I hope my kids can say the same about me. ☺️
I'm sorry to hear what you had to go through but based on your comments, I can tell that you persevered and have overcome. I'm glad you chose to be better than what your environment was bro. Seriously, I'm sure your kids are happy to have a dad like you!
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.
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!
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!
This is my favorite episode. I didn't skip a single topic. It was so relatable and I felt like Terry was being 100% authentic and candid...when he didn't have to. He doesn't owe anyone anything but he gave so much in this conversation. I wish I could confront my Mom and have the results Terry had. She wouldn't be receptive of it....she probably would never be. I feel like I can't tell her about my life at all.
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 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.
Thank you Terry for being so open, I related to this on so many levels with an abusive father. Had me tearing up to see how you overcame all of the adversity. I already loved you before this, but it really resonated with me on another level. Thank you Josh for letting us see the serious side of such a funny and lovable guy.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
I loved when Terry talked about Star Wars and being able to still feel his mom here. I teared up because yes 🫶🏼 our souls have always been here. I found comfort in that.
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.
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
Why I cry at almost all of these meals is crazy. It just shows how delicate life is. As a child of abuse, I so resonated with Terry. Even after 8 years of lots of counseling, those thoughts and feelings hit hard.
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 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!
This might actually help the best celebrity interview ever. Being able to listen to Terry’s story, and in many ways being able to relate to it, this one hits the heart strings in all the right ways
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.
Terry's balance of vulnerability and openness about his traumas truly is a breath of fresh air and feels so- human. There's no negative agenda, no notion of any of that inauthentic BS that mainstream media likes to shove down our throats, Its just 2 dudes talking stuff out with great empathy, compassion and understanding. I'm glad that I stumbled upon this video and that I was able to "take class" from Josh as while he might not be a certified Therapist, he certainly has a great deal of traits of one!
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.
@@glassofwater281 speaking from personal experience, you might actually get more out of it now than you would have going when you were younger. I went when I was a child, and then again when I was a young adult, and it definitely helped me a lot more that second time. I think it's cuz at that point you're old enough to kind of articulate what it is you're feeling/what you want to talk about/how it's affecting you rather than just 'I don't know, man. I'm 13 and everything feels awful. Please fix it.'
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!
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.
By far one of the most honest, open, and vulnerable interviews I’ve ever watched. I have such a massive respect for Terry now. What an amazing and inspiring human.
I’ve learned my lesson. Never skip a Terry video. You may think you’ve heard everything he has to say over and over. But whatever it is, guarantee you need to hear exactly what he’s saying. He’s a gift to humanity.
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. ❤❤❤❤❤
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
Absolutely loved this. Great interview, great guest, great stories, great messages. On top of that I love that it was almost 50 minutes long. No 30 second clips with sound effects and jump cuts everywhere. Actual real content in a long format feels like such a rare thing these days. This and Rick Beato interviews are so refreshing and packed with content. Glorious!

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
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.

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!!
julius does NOT waste food😂❤
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.

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

@@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.
breaking what cycle? Does Josh refrain from talking about sex or sexual innuendos for once?
As a therapist, i gotta say the interviewer is an excellent listener and utilizes paraphrasing and accurate empathy in an expert manner.

I noticed that! So sweet
Serj is something similar :*)
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.

Hot lights
Like a Keanu Reeves situation
1. Terry Crews is a national treasure 2. i need that food right now
wasswup peacock?
Begone foul brand
Lmao what in the nonsense
Away corporate beast!
Dont even think about buying the rights to this show
"I realized how I could really be free was forgiveness and I've been free ever since." Absolutely beautiful.
0:27 you can tell he was so excited to meet him 😂😂 I would be too this man has multiple lives and I love that about Crews
“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 💙
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."
These stories need to be shared. Plenty of us guys that had to grow up and mold ourselves into the protector against our dads
@@badcornflakes6374wow. You should be so proud of that scar.
39:26 "She cooked like she hated him" is such a sick burn lol 😭
😂 malicious compliance is my favorite and you know he meant that. The fact that she’d cook for herself later took me out lol
In a time where so many things are coming to light about celebrities and the dark deeds that they do behind the camera, this wholesomeness and genuine heart that Terry shows is much needed. Great video!
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.
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.
Yes!!!!!!!
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.
This, by far, has been the best episode for me. We can all relate to at least one of the stories he told. The meals were based on different phases in his life, and you can tell how he savored each bite. Showing appreciation for the memory as well as how the food was cooked was so refreshing to watch. Such a great episode to watch!
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
Oh to read this comment and get both excited and confused at first😂
48:55
Maybe that’s why he sang it in white chicks😂😂😂😂
Omg he is HIM
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.
wonderful
thats real
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
And he has some seriously good insights. His biggest fear is VERY atrocious to live. I'm an adult now, I made money, worked, struggled hard to get many things I needed. Unfortunately this is roughly the time when genetic sickness is becoming severe, I have low diastolic blood pressure all the time, I feel exhausted physically and mentally... despite having now the possibility to do all that I wanted to do all my life.
Hearing him say it's a great fear, I feel sort of vindicated? That someone as powerful as him could understand how it is and comprehend, while most people don't. It felt kinda nice :)
Wow. What a profound episode. I did not know Terry had such pivotal events in his life and it's visibly moving to see him recall what he experienced in his childhood as well as his adult years. He's a very kind soul and I wish nothing but the very best for him and his family. Terry just radiates with positivity.
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.
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
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
Terry is so relatable and I love how he talked about his past and growing up and therapy. It's just amazing to see someone like him open up and be so soft. I love that man and he needs to be protected at all costs
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.
Just like he abuses animals
The cycle of abuse continues
@HikingHippo I know you're a troll but shut up.
@@HikingHippo Like i said, we do not care. Go eat your lawn grass and tree bark.
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.
@@jnonymouslove your insight!
One thing I love about this show is how he humanizes them . They’re not celebrities, they’re not being interviewed for publicity. He shows them the kindness and respect and lets people be vulnerable and I love it ❤
actually 🤓
Never realized it before but it’s very true that the guests they get never seem to be promoting anything.
Press tours are just part of the job for actors, so I don’t blame them for it, but it does always feel like they wouldn’t be doing an interview unless they have something to sell.
So it’s refreshing to have an interview series that exists solely for interviews, instead of being a platform for media promotion.
Terry is the kind of man who's always there when you need him. I feel like hugging him every time he talks about something exciting from his life or his past.
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.
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.
"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
One of the absolute best interviews ive ever seen. Huge respect to you for doing your due dilligence about him before and for asking him tough questions
Me as soon as I saw this episode “They had better have given Terry his yogurt”
All in the smoothies man
Terry loves yogurt
99!
NINE-NINE!
@@andriealinsangao613 At least it wasn't the ONE-TWO-TWO and make him sound like a choo-choo train!
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
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.
This was amazing and probably the most real interview iv ever seen.
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.
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.
Coming from a household with an abusive father the connection I feel to the stories he experienced is beyond crazy. Multiple times I teared up and choked.
Awesome to see that no matter what backgrounds you come from you can prevail and be successful and break the chain of abuse.
Terry crews is one of the greatest.
@@Joseph-ny5rr thank you , but honestly being raised like that I didn’t become bitter or angry about it. If anything it showed me what not to become and try to be the best father I can be to my children. 🤙🏿
It was a life lesson, not a sentence.
I’m glad to hear your dad is your super hero I hope my kids can say the same about me. ☺️
@@Joseph-ny5rr and that is what a father is supposed to do. Stand up and defend your family. Your dad sounds like a super hero to me 😃
I'm sorry to hear what you had to go through but based on your comments, I can tell that you persevered and have overcome. I'm glad you chose to be better than what your environment was bro. Seriously, I'm sure your kids are happy to have a dad like you!
@@Hirotara much love ! It means a lot. Thank you. 🥹
18:16 is honestly, massive respect for being prepared to be that vulnerable and raw
Terry is such a genuine person. Dude just seems like he doesnt hold any of who he is back
The "no" at 4:44 sounds so heartbreaking small coming from such a huge man.
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 is a world wonder man is just an amazing human, the humbleness and honesty is just heartwarming.
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.
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
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!
This is my favorite episode. I didn't skip a single topic. It was so relatable and I felt like Terry was being 100% authentic and candid...when he didn't have to. He doesn't owe anyone anything but he gave so much in this conversation.
I wish I could confront my Mom and have the results Terry had. She wouldn't be receptive of it....she probably would never be. I feel like I can't tell her about my life at all.
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 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.
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
Thank you Terry for being so open, I related to this on so many levels with an abusive father. Had me tearing up to see how you overcame all of the adversity. I already loved you before this, but it really resonated with me on another level. Thank you Josh for letting us see the serious side of such a funny and lovable guy.
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.
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.
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!
24:00 honestly teared up man that was emotional
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.
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!
18:00 I love Josh trying to find a place to show off his muscles to Terry for his approval. It was so wholesome!
I loved when Terry talked about Star Wars and being able to still feel his mom here. I teared up because yes 🫶🏼 our souls have always been here. I found comfort in that.
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?
@@hails1004I think it’s an episode of a podcast called Blocks made by Neal Brennan
@@hails1004 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.
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
Why I cry at almost all of these meals is crazy. It just shows how delicate life is.
As a child of abuse, I so resonated with Terry. Even after 8 years of lots of counseling, those thoughts and feelings hit hard.
The part Terry talks about his dad made me cry for him no one deserves to go through that i feel so sad for terry bless him
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
I love Terry Crews. He's such a genuine human being. I'd love to eat a meal with him and have a good chat someday.
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!
This might actually help the best celebrity interview ever. Being able to listen to Terry’s story, and in many ways being able to relate to it, this one hits the heart strings in all the right ways
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’m really glad I watched this. Terry Crews just became one of my heroes. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your life with us.
0:00 - 48:55 -> My favorite part of the video
BEST comment.
Terry's balance of vulnerability and openness about his traumas truly is a breath of fresh air and feels so- human. There's no negative agenda, no notion of any of that inauthentic BS that mainstream media likes to shove down our throats, Its just 2 dudes talking stuff out with great empathy, compassion and understanding. I'm glad that I stumbled upon this video and that I was able to "take class" from Josh as while he might not be a certified Therapist, he certainly has a great deal of traits of one!
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
@@glassofwater281 speaking from personal experience, you might actually get more out of it now than you would have going when you were younger. I went when I was a child, and then again when I was a young adult, and it definitely helped me a lot more that second time. I think it's cuz at that point you're old enough to kind of articulate what it is you're feeling/what you want to talk about/how it's affecting you rather than just 'I don't know, man. I'm 13 and everything feels awful. Please fix it.'
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
I always knew I liked terry crews but after this I love him!! He’s so humble and appreciative of everything
What an amazing man. Tough as nails but caring, empathetic. More open than he needs to be. Diverse. Intelligent. The full package.
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!
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.
By far one of the most honest, open, and vulnerable interviews I’ve ever watched. I have such a massive respect for Terry now. What an amazing and inspiring human.
Terry Crews? Say less, I am seated
I’ve learned my lesson. Never skip a Terry video. You may think you’ve heard everything he has to say over and over. But whatever it is, guarantee you need to hear exactly what he’s saying. He’s a gift to humanity.
IS THAT STAR?
RAINBOW NARWHAL BLASTTTT
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. ❤❤❤❤❤
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
Absolutely loved this. Great interview, great guest, great stories, great messages. On top of that I love that it was almost 50 minutes long. No 30 second clips with sound effects and jump cuts everywhere. Actual real content in a long format feels like such a rare thing these days. This and Rick Beato interviews are so refreshing and packed with content. Glorious!
