Wow, what a crazy journey it’s been! Thank you to Josh for being such an incredible collaborative partner and brother (yes we are actual brothers) and thanks to all of you for your amazing support over the years. This is a big change after six years on the Brothers Green Eats channel and it didn’t feel right to just move on without sharing a little bit about what I’ve been going through over the last few years as well as the changes that are coming to this channel. I’ll be releasing one video a day for the next week on the subject of change and transition and then I’ll be back to food content on Monday (I swear).

On the one hand, I do see why people don't feel the need for a 5-part series of videos explaining why Brother's Green is disbanding: most are here primarily for the food videos and that's what they want.
However, viewers sometimes forget that Mike and Josh are also REAL PEOPLE, struggling with real life challenges. A 5 minute video just briefly touching on the bullet points of the breakup would feel like it is not doing justice to Mike, Josh and Brothers Green because it is something they struggled with personally behind the scenes WHILE they kept pumping out content over the past year(s). It might have been a bit chaotic and random at times, but that was also the beauty of it as we saw the dynamics between two brothers trying to collaborate and continue building something that was beautiful and worked for many years, but we were also witnessing a very relatable and inevitable facet of life unfolding where two people grow apart, struggle with accepting this and ultimately deciding to go their separate ways.
Mike and Josh are the authentic part of UA-cam that I enjoy watching, and if they want to share their stories of their personal journey (cooking-related or not) I'm here for that (cooking techniques and life lessons, what more can a girl ask for!?). They are showing us a part of them that is usually reserved for close friends and family: exposing their vulnerability and sharing their personal struggles with millions of people on UA-cam. This is not easy. So, before you guys start sharing your (negative) opinion and feeling entitled that they should 'stick to the cooking videos cuz that's what I wanna watch', think about the real people who are creating these videos that you watch on UA-cam and have some compassion with their personal journeys.
Thank you, Josh and Mike for being true to yourselves and taking this big step and most of all, letting us be privy to this journey. I look forward to seeing how you both grow in your own ways! ❤️
I had to pin this comment to the top! Thanks Cindy Yee for the kind words. I'm certainly not nearly as good of a writer as you (I'll stick to visuals) but you just really nailed this and I appreciate it big time!
@@LifebyMikeG Thank you! I don't normally comment on videos but I just had to on this one. It's just too easy to be a keyboard warrior and shoot out criticism instead of uplifting each other and showing support. So, I just wanted you guys to know that there are people like me out there that appreciate the content that you put out. Keep the visuals coming! 👍
@@misscindyee well us creators are real people and we certainly appreciate people like you who comment in!
I love this comment, couldn't have worded it better myself! 💖👍
Thank you for this Cindy, I really appreciate your perspective on the importance of this for Mike and I.
But don't delete the old content please!!! Just so I can look stuff up I regulary cook!
He said in the comment section of the breaking up video that they old videos would stick around.
It generates too much money to just throw it all away just because the channel is changing. I hope both brothers will have nice upcoming experiences, and hopefully people will be mature enough to understand that as viewers they are not entitled to anything. You watch if you like it and if not then watch some other video or head to another channel and opt for one of their videos that specific day the content here wasn’t a good fit.
Dear god, please don't stick with the name Pro Home Cooks. You are way more creative than that Mike.
Yes, I am still watching the old videos, it's taking me a while, please leave them up
I'm the one who topped your comment from 999 likes to 1000... hi 🖖

God bless you and Josh in your new roads. Thanks for all the knowledge you guys share here!
Name should remain the same. Just remember to know where channel came from
A philosophy video a day for a week seems like quite a lot. We're fine as long as you keep making food content. We don't need an extended mourning period but if you do, go for it. See you in a week.
Weston Thompson maybe it’s what they need.
Brothers Green Eats looking forward to the new direction!
I started watching you guys while I was in college. I think it was just the perfect timing that you guys were also making cooking videos for college students. Definitely a big inspiration for me to start experimenting with all kinds of food. Now, I'm a professional sushi chef and have my own cooking channel here on youtube nearing 100k subs and starting to inspire others in my own way. Looking forward to your future content!
This is mega cool
Now you are at 450k i see :) congrats!
Good luck brother on this journey, its been incredible sharing it with you, here is to years more of glorious cooking!
Best of luck to both you guys
Best of luck to the both of you
It's a highly respected decision! I wish you both the best!
@Gerry Freeman crazy hippie
Good luck to both of you glorious hippie brothers! Subscribed to both! Wish you all the best!
Why is everyone bashing Josh so much?! I LOVED his $3 a day thing. I love both of you and you both bring different things to the table. Will miss this chapter, but new things to come!
I loved that series too! I think that's when I first hit "subscribe". But I like Josh's sandwiches and fermenting too so I will not be clicking "unsubscribe"
Whoops I meant Mike's sandwiches and fermenting. Typing faster than my brains works!
No bashing here at all, I have enjoyed quite a few of the videos, very inspiring, it's sad to see them part, but I would much rather have them be happy doing what they like
Duuude those videos were legitimately incredible. I think its just that his passion was more for music and that showed kinda.
bc Josh at 33- 34 years old that is having a mid-life crisis or maybe its the drugs? Idk either way he rather experiment with drugs or dance in his living room or dump his wife!!! How Mike is the younger one is beyond me.
I said a while back and I'll say it again: Mike taught me to understand the process, and Josh helped me appreciate it. Two sides to cooking you can't have on their own without being a bit lost.
I look forward to seeing the future of the channel.
This. I couldnt think of the proper way to explain how both teaching styles worked together. 😊 thank you
Well-expressed.
Ryan Perrin well said. There seems to be an awful lot of discussion about preferring one style of content over the other and it’s unnecessarily divisive.
While I have always appreciated Mike’s cooking chops, quality and penchant for learning, if the purpose of TBH was to INSPIRE LOVE FOR COOKING then for me it has been Josh’s optimistic attitude and “if you had fun cooking it it was worth it” approach - Cooking Technique VS Cooking Philosophy.
This whole process has made me feel like I have to choose between these guys and it’s pretty clear to me who I’d rather hangout with.
Sorry, man but the last few rounds of content are riddled with Mike taking passive aggressive judgements at his brothers approach. He blends it in with generic compliments but it’s paper thin.
Maybe it’s because my brother and I are similar ages apart and I can relate to Josh as I am the older sibling and have the more gregarious personality between us.
@@Harry-ju8yw I think both of them have definitely had that issue, but I'm sure it's hard. I'm still going to watch both, but probably Mike the most because I don't know that I care as much for the stuff Josh does on his other channel. Nothing against it, it's just not what I want. The sandwich and fermentation videos from Mike were amazing, and that's what I love about his stuff.
This sums it up perfectly, I think.
I Loved Brothers Green, and when I saw your new channel a week ago and came over here. i am in my 70's, I was a chef for years, I have a culinary degree, and I have really enjoyed every thing you did, so here I am, You are very innovative, I love that. i think your being so transparent makes all of us admire you more.
It was YOU that really gave me the chops to bake sourdough bread. The way you simplified the process in your small kitchen with an everyday stove it told me that I could do it too. All the best to you as you move forward. Thank you.
I lived in a kitchen that small, shaped the same too. No window except for the end door opened onto the dining rm with a window. I cooked for my family 3 meals a day in there. It IS possible. Love your vids!
Passionate organized brother with goals to achieve vs older brother in search of happiness and peace. You've both came out of your cocoons.
Ignore all of those negative comments. Both you & Josh are great and I will continue to follow you both! Everyone is allowed to grow, change, and evolve. Best wishes to both of you! (Just don't take the old videos down or I will be heartbroken!)
This split is called individuation. You both represent two different outlooks on the world, yin and yang, left and right brain, rational (organized) and imaginative/spiritual (spontaneous). I admire you how you could work together and create so much beautiful and yummy food. The energy that was created between you got this production started. That is of great value. You BOTH are equally valuable. I hope you keep in touch, there is so much more to come.
Hearing about this process is gold. Thank you for sharing.
Same, this is exactly what I needed to hear. I'm in a similar (albeit much smaller scale 😅) situation.
I remember when you both were on Chopped. It was amazing to see your progress from the channel to chopped, and solidifying your game in cooking. Much love!
I feel sad reading some of the comments here... I understand people come for the food, but Mike and Josh are people too. Two brothers doing this for years and years under the scrutiny of millions of people. It takes a lot of physical, mental and emotional capacity to do so and endure.
I followed you from Hungry and was ecstatic to find out you brothers had your own channel. I was in college and your videos mean a lot to me, taught me so many things. I noticed how different the two of you were, and watched you brothers change, grow and interact and react differently over the years.
I started to really realise you guys are people when there's marriage and you guys started living apart, doing your own thing, then Josh made his healing videos and talked about his journey and now this. Both of you are probably a few years older than me so it freaked me out a little how stark changes could be in life. It's like looking in a mirror of the future of what it might be for me. I mean, to embrace real life, observe how relationships change, getting out of comfort zones, battling our inner selves and things like that.
I applaud you brothers' courage in facing all this. If talking it out into a multi episode series is what you guys need to be better and stay strong, then please do so.
I wish you brothers a beautiful journey ahead. Stay safe, healthy and always strive for your happiness. Much love ♥.
Love your promotion of vulnerability. Every new journey starts with wobbly knees because of the potential for failure but the truth is - there is no true failure - every step is part of your evolution. Cheering for you!
Prayers for the relationships in your family with your friends and thank you for including us on your journey through life. We love you both sooo much-
Mike, I’m a new subscriber and I just want to say I truly love the content! Specifically, I love the length and style of the videos. Most cooking videos/channels are very recipe based and you really discuss concepts in depth and as a home cook honing my skills, I appreciate this approach so much. I love the content and keep on going, brother!
I still refer back to your older videos for tips and recipes all the time. You’ve given me knowledge and encouragement. I always thought cooking rules needed to be followed and you went against them in good ways. I cook for my family mainly my two boys, they help me at times and you’ve been apart of nourishing our lives. Thank you.
Mike, I know this video was hard to make, but I am so glad you did. We love your channel, we love you, and when I say we, I mean all of your fans that have watched your videos. After this video I really feel that you're not just some random guy making cooking videos, it feels like you're our friend. And we are all your friends too. Thanks for opening up to us. And thank you for everything
Didn't like the idea of 5 more videos on this. But actually looking forward to seeing the journey of change you have gone through. Keep the videos flowing as you want.👍
I came to Brothers Green when you each had your own episodes. I liked the dichotomy of the views and approaches, nice to see each of you finding the voice and passion that keep you inspired and moving forward. I am going to stay subscribed to both.
Good luck to Josh and Mike.
Excited to see you guys continue your journeys.
Actually, I think it's great that you're exploring this. No matter the age, we all go through these growth and change periods. And I for one enjoy listening to people talk about going through these transitions. And it's nice, isn't it, that those of us growing and evolving aren't alone in these journeys? To each their own, but I don't think this is overkill. I appreciate the thoughtfulness here. It's the same level of thoughtfulness you put in your cooking.
thanks for the comment Jennifer. I'm glad you understand where i'm coming from. This isn't easy for me, cooking videos are much more comfortable but I couldn't move on without discussing this stuff. I put a lot of effort into this little series so I hop you enjoy!
I 8 to
This makes so much sense. The part about change being inevitable and that it is tough to deal with it. This gives me hope! Thanks for sharing!
The fact that he didn't start this video with a giant sigh is so respectable
FYI Your brother has your channel under his channels tab. Maybe you can put his under yours😉
I love that Josh had like 7 different hairstyles and Mike has had one overall 😂
The first several videos I watched of Brothers Green were of you alone. When I finally saw a video with Josh I was like, oh, I guess that's the brother. I'm looking forward to the future of the channel... and Josh's channel too.
I'm a baby boomer..recently discovered your channel and I LOVE it!..You have inspired me to become a great ( better) cook during retirement..thank-you for teaching me..
It was your fermentation video that got me into the kitchen again. Thanks for all the inspiration, I'm looking forward to more great content!
PLEASE DONT delete videos of Josh in them. Or is Josh moving his videos to his own channel?
I think Josh said that this is what he is going to do.
I joined the channel quite recently. My first real experience was the sandwich series, which I loved. I think it was brilliant .
I will definitely stick to the channel, whatever the name becomes and keep on watching your cooking videos. I am actually excited to see where you are going to take all of us and what goodies you are going to prepare for us.
I think the sky's the limit for you, i have loved your solo projects, hope you do more like the sandwich series for example. But no matter what i look forward to seeing what you come up with. Also i wanna say i really like Josh too, and hope his new channel will be great.
I'm always interested in why the people I admire do what they do and what their journey looked like, and it's always really cool to see the human side of people, so i'm looking forward to the next few videos. And it goes without saying but I am absolutely sticking around the channel! I'm not an adventurous cook, just a fan of food, and your content always keeps me hungry. Keep doing your thing Josh ❤️
I always got the impression you were more into teaching food and your brother, teaching music. Your brother’s content is sometimes about life and philosophy too, whereas your is strictly about the food, so I think it’s a great opportunity for you both to go down your own paths and create some cool new content :)
I’ve learn a lot from your solo back to the basic videos from how to hold a knife to how to make perfect rice lol I’m excited to see what’s next! You’re the man, thanks for continuing the channel.
Each brother has his own talent and passion and so glad each brother is shining in his own truth. They should appreciate and support each other.
i appreciate the back story in the channel. I have been a sub for less then a year and didn't really know all of the background. Very interesting but sad to see the split up.
Look forward to seeing what both of you guys are going to do!
Hey Mike, I really really needed this right now. Both of y'alls videos were the reason I got into cooking and became much more willing to try things that scared me and go out of my comfort zone and to fail! I'll be here for whatever direction you decide to go in and I wish you the best of luck in your split.
glad to help
While I've always loved the dynamic between the brothers this guy is the reason I subscribed to the chanel. I've always found his solo content to be educational, entertaining and inspiring. I'm really looking forward to see what comes next!
I've followed Brothers Green for years and it really did make a huge difference in my home cooking confidence. I'm a lot more improvisational, and love experimenting with different foods and methods of cooking, and a lot of that, I think, is due to you guys. Thanks for everything you've done over the years to inspire home cooking and for keeping the channel going. I love the evolution that you've brought forward! Keep it up!
the sandwich series was awesome. i’m looking forward to the new chapter.
i will really miss Josh though. i really liked his improvisational cooking techniques; it taught me a lot. i hope he continues to make food content on his new channel and hopefully make a few guest appearances on your channel.
I realize your channel has been on for awhile, but I just found you a few months ago. It's been great to go back to the earlier episodes and watch you grow as a chef, a presenter, and as a person. Not taking anything away from your early years, but I think you've made a very positive change by moving out on your own. I truly enjoy your channel and have tried quite a few things you've instructed. Thank you and best wishes for many many more years!
I know this is 2 years ago. But I recently found this channel, and as I’m diving deeper into it, I’m suddenly watching some college content, and I was thinking to my self what a major (positive) shift and more natural it is to see you on your own - though it was fun to hear you two ping pong - It’s so obvious now that this was the best thing to happen. Probably for both of you.
Anyways, I’m so glad I found this channel, you inspired me to actually start cooking. I’m a young dad of 2 girls and they deserve better than my inspiring lacking food. I’m really gratefull.
Thanks for you. Regards
I still have wear my Brothers Green t shirt! Been with your 2 for a LONG LONG time! Good luck to your both because at the end of the day- food, in all it's glory, is the part of life that gets us through the good, the bad and everything in between.
Explanation as to why he decided to take over the channel starts at 11:40
Thank you, 5 part series... Gimme a break
People like u matter
Mvp
I'm lost. Was it because he wanted to do solo videos, and they were doing well?
Thnx man u save my time
Thank you so much for this video. I know you are going through a change and it feels kind of like I am starting to go through one in a certain aspect of my life as well. Hearing you in this video really made me feel better with the scariness of change. I’m glad things are working out with you and hope to watch more of your videos. I just wanted to let you know that your words, your videos, your dreams, have really helped me in some fashion or another and I’m starting to look forward to my change and honestly to keep seeing where yours is going. Thanks!
Mike, you're the man! Thanks for talking about all of this and being open! So excited to see where you and Josh both go from here. Here's to more sourdough bread :)
Man this is bittersweet because you both have such good vibes and it’s always sad to see that split but I’m excited to see where the journey takes you both! Hopefully to a place where you’re both happy and comfortable on that path. ✌🏻
but all the videos will stay, yea? It's huge database of knowledge for me.
Masakirahati second that - I would love for the videos to stay on the channel!
they've said before that they won't, which is really sad. either they'll get reuploaded on Josh' channel or he'll do his own patreon or sth
Mike said in the comment section of the breaking up video that the old videos would remain.
@@conan_der_barbar
They didn't say that. They said in a reply to you that the videos would stay.
Exactly! I found out about this because I was looking for them! This is ridiculous.
Simple and creative! This is why I liked your channel and shared your videos with my daughter and it interested her to cook at home and learned how to save money.
I just need the cooking dude and if you’re gonna do that - I’m in. If it’s with your brother or just you or a friend whatever - cook your heart out and your subscribers will be here for you.
I rarely leave comments on youtube vids but I love what you're doing, man. I'm a big fan who shares the passion for cookery and really appreciate the things you've shown me.
Wow, this is like a rite of passage in life...keep going both of you love the documentary on the journey and the new one begins!!!
I’ve loved all of your past and present content. It’s sad that josh isn’t around anymore, but I can tell cooking means a lot more to you. I will watch ur content until the day I die 😊
What a history! Looking forward to your ‘new’ posts. Changes get easier over time.
We all have a story. It’s nice to share and compare. Each person’s story is just as compelling as even a famous person. We’re all just human beings. Love ya big guy. I’m retired living with my Chinese wife. We love to cook for each other. As you said, you pick up the karma of the person who cooks what you eat.
Thanks for sharing all these details. It's inspiring on accomplishing goals and getting unstuck, which happens to everyone!
we all get stuck at some point! thanks
@@LifebyMikeG You didn't have to share these details, and people that love your cooking videos would stay, but I think it also helps build another layer of connection with your viewers to open up about it, so bravo to you for doing that!
Hey Mike! I've been tuning in since 2014 or so. I'm happy that you're still creating amazing content. Once I noticed your sourdough videos on Instagram I had a feeling something different was coming. Love how gracefully you're embracing change and I appreciate you filling us in. I will always love Brother's Green for what is was, but I dig what's going on here! Peace and happy holidays.
I always respect people who have the courage to let personal evolution happen. It is not without emotional risk, yet it's the fertilizer of health.
Hi! I only came across your channel a month ago and I've been watching your videos randomly everyday! They're both entertaining and educational! And now that i stumbled on this video, i really appreciate the fact that you opened yourself up to the virtual world. I think it takes sensitivity to be able to create beautiful food. And that's one of the many qualities that you have as a Pro Home Cook! Well done!!! 😄👍
Hopefully we will get sandwich series S2
in the works...
@@LifebyMikeGWOOOO
thijs mesman I freaking loved the sandwich series
MrAlcides283 im doing Keto rn so cant eat it, but love to watch it lmao
@@7HYS. There are keto answers to sandwiches, keto bread substitutes, sandwich fillings without bread, etc.
This was a super real video. Thank you for being so open and authentic.
I'm going to be completely honest. Over the course of the last 2 years or so, whenever Josh and Mike 'separated' on this channel, I really only watched Mike's videos. For me the had much higher quality and they were more interesting for me. I will stay with this channel but I probably won't subscribe to Josh, his videos just don't vibe with me. And that's ok.
Couldn't agree more. Mike FTW
Agreed. Mike was still teaching us to cook. I'm not sure what Josh was doing. I've also checked out some of the videos on his new channel and they're just not for me.
Definitely agree
I found this channel like 9 months ago (when I began learning to make sourdough) and all I ever ran into was Mike’s content after I subbed. Then I ran into Josh’s solo cooking vids on here and I was like “am I on the wrong channel?? Man..this channel went downhill fast! Who is this guy??”Lol Mike’s content was always straight to the point and very informative with no wasted time. A lot of important info packed efficiently into a small amount of time. After I watched Mike’s content I absorbed it and could just go straight in the kitchen and make the recipe. Josh’s...ehh...not so much... he is funny and kinda entertaining though.
I agree! Josh is awesome tho! But I connected more with Mike!
It was your videos that got me into the channel and I’m really pleased with your decision.
Looking forward to the next series!
The timing of this is in perfect alignment with my own family business issue. This helps! Thanks!
I’m so happy you guys didn’t fall out. Loved the chemistry between you both... If I were your mom, I would be totally proud of you boys. Keep healthy, happy and be passionate where ever your heart takes you... you can’t get rid of me that easy bud.🇨🇦🥸🤣😂
You guys also have very different brands and I think it kinda split your audience. I love and am close to my bro too and have plenty in common but we do have different life goals so it make sense.
What a great summary to describe the journey of Brothers Green Eats. Thanks for sharing and best of luck to you both in the future. Keep up driving your dreams!
Man I been watching since way before the MTV deal, and I just NOW saw this video though. (Thanks UA-cam). Anyways, really enjoyed all the past content and loving the NEW direction. Would love to chop it up and talk business sometime since I see that's one area Pro Home Cooks has evolved and improved on versus BGE. Anyways, keep it up! Loving the recent air fryer series!
Mike, im really happy you’ve picked up the channel and decided to continue it. I’ve learned a lot from watching over the years and i am sincerely grateful to have had you and your brother teach me simple ways to cook good food through college. I know the shadow of the work you did prior to these videos might feel like it is constantly looming over you or that it will color the work you put out on youtube in the future. I just wanted to say that when you are doing your thing with the camera on, no one is wondering why your brother isnt there. Your acknowledgement of your brother’s collaborative efforts with you is genuine and well intended and it shows. That being said, do your own thing and feel completely comfortable knowing that im not watching your content wondering why you’re the only one in the room. It’s clear you feel the absence more than we probably do. No worries from us, man.
Keep cooking; I look forward to seeing the new videos and your exploration of new food spaces.
thanks David, so many exciting things to come! Cant wait to share them with all of you
U have done a big service by doing this. It has helped me get back on my feet. People change. Priorities change and we must give gratitude for the collaboration that is now lost its steam. Give space ànd part ways
I used to love watching the food network, and cooking channel. I wanted to learn how to be a good home chef. I find that I don't learn anything from those shows. They generally only show competitions. I have no interest in that stuff, so I just stopped watching. I discovered UA-cam about a year ago, and found exactly what I needed. There are so many great shows, like yours that teach me how to cook the basics, and how to make something complicated. Thanks for putting out great content and teaching us the lost art of cooking.
mission accomplished!
I recently was looking for making sauerkraut. You were the one who spoke clearly and laid it out so I could enjoy doing it. I have had fun diving into your videos. I will say how refreshing it is to hear your honesty. None of this pretending. Its not at all necessary! Happy for you!
I was there with you since the midnight munchies days😊 You taught me how to cook👍🏽
I stumbled on this channel on You Tube while I was looking for healthy meals on a budget. This channel never disappointed in that regard and to make it better you and your brother always made it fun and simple. I also like the teaching about fermentation and other techniques because you were teaching about things I am very interested in but was intimidated by. I appreciate both you and your brother and wish you both the best in your respective pursuits. I will definitely continue watching you here. I hope you keep all the content on the channel to date.
yay, thanks mike. I honestly stopped watching just cause of Josh. I just really didnt care for videos with him in it. I just relate more to you and your style of cooking. I look forward to seeing how things improve.
Cheers
With all respect to Josh, I felt the same as you. I only watched Mike's videos. Which just kind of proves that they have two different styles of doing things.
Honestly I only watched Mikes videos too. I watched one of them recently and just thought Josh was such a dick and I was like "who the hell does this guy think he is, treating Mike like that..." ....and then they break up. The kids are always watching Mom and Dad
Hi Mike. I said this recently on Josh's channel that it was obvious you were both drifting apart. I'm glad you both found your new nitch's. I love how you both took the time to share your heartfelt stories and feelings with us. It shows how you truly care about us and want to ensure your followers understand your choices and decision making. It never happens overnight, and it's never easy. I'm happy you and Josh are happy. Can't wait to see what's in store. It's gonna be groovy....I just know it!! Thank you, Mike. Peace and love to you and Josh.❤✌
I want to say I do love your content, and your cooking videos. Your fermenting videos are dope! However this whole "why I left", "why I'm taking over" stuff is overkill. One video from each of you, explaining what's up, is more than enough. A five part series is not anything I'm interested in watching, no offense. I'm worried you may be shooting yourself in the foot with all this hoopla. Guess I'll be back Monday to see your regular content. I know this seems like a snarky comment, but it's not meant to be. Just being 100. Good luck to both of you, and I understand you needing to do your own things.
I totally understand, cooking content is what I love and is what this channel will be all about but I felt it was important for me to explain a few things first. I've learned a ton over the last few years and I would like to share it in hopes to help people deal with their own changes that they might be dealing with. If that's not for you, I hope you rejoin the cooking journey next week. Thanks
@@LifebyMikeG And I do want to thank you. Your hot sauce video, Kimchi video and all the ramen and udon videos, I've learned SO much from you! I truly do love this channel, mostly your videos, but please know I made this comment from a place of love not a rude place. I know UA-cam is fickle and algorithms and yada yada yada. I want you both to be successful, and look forward to all the other things I can learn from you💚
@@pinkyfromhaughtfarms6550 you cant be a slave to the algorithms if you want to make a difference on this platform. If you are then your content starts looking the same as everyone else's.
@W Smith I'm not sure why you arent seeing it but I didn't delete my reply. It's still there on my end.
@W Smith I'm not doing anything to you! I only just now saw your comment with an apology of sorts in it. I'm sorry you are having a rough time, I really am. Believe it or not I am a very empathetic person. I'm not trying to be rude or spiteful or anything like that. You are entitled to feel how you feel, just like I'm entitled to feel how I feel. It's not a big deal. We can have differing opinions and still be cordial💚
Can't wait to see your new channel! Thank you so much for teaching my kids and I to be more creative with our meals. I loved the videos about making your meal for week ahead of time and the one on cooking on a budget. Bless you and your family!!
thanks for keeping it real guys. goodluck josh and subscribed to both
You really do have something golden here. I am newly subscribed, I think the first vid I watched was about sourdough. The humanity you bring to your cooking drove me to dig deeper, I was asking myself, who is this guy? how did he get started? And seeing this video filled in some of the gaps. I'm in agreement with many of the prior comments, bring on the food, man, that's your high tide.
Yikes at the negative comments... The fans deserve an explanation and you delivered. Good luck in the future, keep moving forward
I can’t even believe how long I’ve followed this channel. Been here since basically the beginning. It’s so cool to see you guys grow and see the audience grow- I know I have. :)
Very excited for this new direction, it’s exactly my speed.
I have been watching you guys for a few years and really love the amazing content and recipes, life is ever changing for all of us. I am sure you will continue providing awesome content and I will continue watching.
Cool to see you here bruh, big fan of both of your Channels.
@@vegetafinalform9420 Thanks, bro. I love this channel too and can relate to a lot of what he is saying on this video.
thanks Healthy Recipe Channel
@@LifebyMikeG Any time bro, I can relate to a lot of the things you said in this video. Have owned my own business for the past 12 years, a supplement and vitamin retail store. With Amazon killing off our industry I have hung on for dear life and created small studio kitchen in the back of our store to do youtube videos about my true passion since I was a kid which was cooking. We are at the end of our rope and can no longer hold off the inevitable with our business having to close down soon. I am forced to adapt and put everything I got into our channel and doing uber eats and other deliveries on the side to pay my bills. It is a really menatlly tough transition and really hard to change when you have been doing something every day for 12 years. I would go to our store and open every morning 7 days a week. It is a huge part of who I am and scary to turn to a new life. But I know I will be so relieved. Thank you for making this really great and relatable video. Videos like this are very welcomed. :)
Well said
I joined because of your sandwich series. I did not even know Josh was involved for a while. Then it seemed like he was always high and into philosophy bits. I hated that. I love your cooking vids. Best of luck cooking up a storm. I'll be watching.
After reading some of the comments I felt it necessary to add my unasked for 2 cents, because internet. I don't mind all the "why" videos. If I don't want to watch something I pass it by. When you two first announced the channel change I was worried you two had a falling out, so it's nice to learn more about the history of your working together and what lead up to this point.
I'm super down for the 5 videos, I enjoy connecting with the people aspect of the videos I watch.
Respect! I haven’t been active on UA-cam until the past couple years. I discovered you recently and didn’t know about any of this, so it’s good to hear. I’ve only seen Josh in a couple videos & had no idea you used to work together under a different name. I’m glad you both found your paths and I really enjoy your videos! Thanks so much!!
I truly enjoyed your solo content and the content with Josh, I feel however like a 5 part series explaining why you guys split up may be a tad excessive. Considering this video was 21 minutes it was already rather hard to watch. Im just being an honest critic when I say, please try to make the next one more concise and to the point and leave it at a 2 part series. I may be totally off but, It seems like from the way you spoke that you lacked belief in your own talent and how interesting you alone could be, but your content has been very good so far just keep that up and you should be fine. Inspire us, a new way took cook or, something to try out.
yeah all of thats coming to this channel but it was important to me to share my journey since were all human and go through the same shit I was dealing with over the last few years. I've learned a bunch and I hope I can help others who might be dealing with something similar. Food videos are back in one week Luk
Forget what this guy is saying, It's enjoyable hearing this backstory etc. If you don't like it don't watch it man. Isn't that easier than demanding that he doesn't make it? Kind of an insane perspective if you ask me.
@@dannyboi7877 If I were a creator I would want my audience to be honest with me, I've watched this channel for ages I'm simply stating my opinion (what comments are for). My intentions were clear, im not "demanding" anything simply stating an alternative that myself and others that took the time to watch the video would appreciate. Would you like to watch 5 x 21 minute videos about something of this nature? Do you believe the average viewer of a food channel would? Keep in mind thats 15 minutes short of being 2 hours of content to summarise something that could most likely be very well explained in a 30 minute well planned video, if not shorter. Although I do wish the best for both Josh and Mike, and see them as complete, complex beings with personalities and lives, I do still believe that a breif summary and look into their (or maybe just Mike's) personal life should not be almost twice as long as your average documentary. If you thought simply reading till the end of my comment was too long im sure you would agree.
That is EXACTLY how i feel Luk.
@@Trick-iT Still Luk, you don't have to watch anything you don't want to watch.
Thank you for your vulnerability! It's very encouraging to see you take the time to explain to us and remain passionate about this channel. Looking forward to the other videos, as well as future food-related ones :)
Not gonna lie, I am going to miss Brothers Green. The goofy brothers in the beginning that grew into more over the years. I enjoyed the videos with you both the most but did watch the solo project videos y’all did as well.
Good luck to the both of you and hope both channels are a huge success. Subscribed now to both and look forward to the content you guys will provide.
Maybe y’all will collab again and bring back a few videos of the goofy brother who just love to cook and entertain with cool stories of your childhoods and life journeys.
Much love and respect!
I watched this while eating a bowl of homemade kimchi fried rice. You and Josh have accomplished your mission without a doubt. I love you guys and I've been watching you guys grow for 4 years now, I remember watching those first few, 4 ingredient recipes and then evolved to the fast food and all the things, introducing me to different cuisine cultures, becoming more open to all these things. So excited for the future Mike, I'm here and always will be.
I originally subscribed to learn cooking and I have learned alot. I have to say that although I enjoyed Josh's cooking as well, I thought he was a bit off the hook sometimes. Keep it professional and keep it on cooking and I will continue to watch. Thanks to both of you for all the great videos in the past and I hope to see many more cooking videos from you on this channel.
thanks for the comment! big stuff coming in the food content game
Josh A Big Thanks.
It's been a big journey for us as well.
It's 4 to 5 years for me looking and trying to make and taste the different ways you did stuff.
So we have grown up with you. And yes we do go different ways. So we are here for both of you. On both channels. Ring that Bell.
This is like one of those hour long work meetings that couldve been an email😂😂
I think all of your longtime fans love both of you guys so we're just happy that both of you are following your own dreams. We definitely won't say no to episodes where Josh guest-stars but I doubt anyone is going to unsub just because it's just you hosting now. Even in your stoner days, all the content that's been given to us has been fun to watch, easy to understand and consistently inspirational.
I think you two are thinking this is a much bigger deal than it is for your audience (the change). You're two brother who each want to do their own thing. Most of us have siblings and totally get it, time to branch out. Can't wait till all these change video's are over and it's back to cooking vids.
hey Pam, change can be a big deal but most people want to act like it isn't. In this case for me it took a few years to really break through. This wasn't about just being in business with my brother,
@@LifebyMikeG awwww - so sweet of you to msg me back! totally get it's a big deal for you two - just giving feedback that it's not for us. I think most of us really enjoy both of you so now it's like a double dose of video's - we get it from two channels now so it's a fun change on this end ;)
I've been subscribed since 90k and it's awesome to see how much growth this channel has gone through. Both Mike and Josh have taught me so much about cooking and now I teach my older brother how to cook thanks to you guys! Thanks for everything! Can't wait to see what the future holds!
