I love how Tony Hawk rather than getting treated like a traditional celebrity is almost like a cryptid. It’s like nobody ever expects to actually see him. You didn’t meet Tony Hawk, it was a Tony Hawk sighting.
Man, Josh is such a damn good interviewer. Watching Tony be stiff for the first like, 5-10 minutes of 'Ok I'm gonna get asked all the generic Tony Hawk questions' to being fully open, relaxed and laughing at it all is amazing. Josh just has that charisma to get everyone talking and open and willing to show their true selves.
Is it weird that I really like Josh interviewing guests for last meals, but I hate him during Mythical Kitchen shows? I just feel like he is trying to be obnoxious there and ruin dishes when he is in team challenges. Like... Lilly should have a cattle prod to keep him in line levels of sabotage.
@@JoshParker Not weird. The different shows require different energy from Josh. In meals from the past, his co-host is the more wacky and unpredictable one and he's just cooking and occasionally chiming in with banter. Just preferences.
Terry Crews, and now Tony Hawk. Mythical picks some incredible guests, and these two men are both examples of amazing men who never let their fame destroy who they really are inside. Mad respect to Tony Hawk and Terry Crews.
I'm not even five minutes into this, but when you brought Logan out as an expert in the specific aspect of the meal he was serving, I just had to tell you that I would love to see more stuff like this. Finding a local business owner who specializes in something that a guest has requested and bringing them on is such a fun idea. I really hope you do it more in the future.
Could not agree more. Humble, casual, intelligent, connected to his fans and the general public... We need more like him. Stop making stupid people famous, make more Tony Hawk's.
Little case study on perspective I'm thinking of now. USA rejected Tony's young skating style while Japan flew him out to be on a show showcasing especially talented kids. Fast forward some years and now Japan is pumping out young skaters into the pro scene, we got 9 year olds in the Olympics now competing vs USA adults... And beating them... Kind of like Tony did.
I'm not a skater, never picked up a board, but Tony Hawk Pro Skater is such an important game in my life, at a time when I was the most care-free. Thank you Tony.
Same. Spent tons of hours as a kid playing THPS. Of all the games that I played in my 30 years of existence, all THPS games made me so happy and excited on a certain level that can’t be topped. Thank you so much, Tony.
I'm sad at how far I had to scroll to see someone mention that. I'm so pumped. I grew up on the early THPS games. Mainly 1-4 and THUG. I really hope they can get back to what they were back in the day.
My biggest flex is that Tony Hawk went skateboarding with my dad and his friends for a day! Its so cute that he still talks about it all the time like 30 years later :))
I'm so happy Josh mentioned Rodney. Rodney is basically the father of modern skateboarding and simply the creator of it, down to the boards we use today.
Gonna sound old but I remember having a Rodney compilation video on my MySpace. The Clash song Train in vain playing. Buying an Almost board because of him. Rodney and Tony Goats never forget
Would've been intense too. There would've been some Crab back and beer,some roasted bone marrow and defo some roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and I hope he'd have a final pack of Marlboro.every condemned man deserves a final cigarette. X
I love going back to his old shows and just listening to him talk. Always interesting and so engaging. Used to watch Parts Unknown with my dad as a kid.
He’s such a humble, great guy-I really feel he doesn’t get enough credit just for being a stand up dude who has a true love for the sport. So glad to have seen this episode!
Tony Hawk helped build a skate park in my tiny town of Myrtle Creek, Oregon like 20 years ago (population 3,200) and we all felt so loved and seen! He’s an actual god of the skate world. Even for bladers like I was.
I'm consistently WOWED by the guests. I typically do not watch anything to do with celebrities, but this, I'm watching every single one. Josh is going to be remembered as the foremost trailblazing interviewer in our generation for his insightful, unique questions and intimate approach. You won't see an interview like this anywhere else.
After losing a legend like James Earl Jones, it’s important to remember to give Legends their flowers while they’re still here. Tony Hawk is everything you Hope & want him to be.
Mythical Kitchen and Josh, you all have become one of the best interview shows out there. Between this, Terry Crews, and many more are just amazing interviews. Also the food and effort you go to get the food and prepared is impressive.
Tony is another goat, great choice for the show. One of my fondest memories as a kid was meeting him in 97 at a little expo/demo he did in Cincinnati. My dad took me, he never took me ANYWHERE. I watched him skate for a couple hours (there were quite a few other skaters there too of coarse) and then I waited in line for 30-45 minutes while he took pictures and did autographs. I had this big speech in my head and I was going to tell him how much I loved watching him skate and how much he influenced me, and I was going to invite him to my house to eat a home cooked meal because I knew he had been on the road for a while and when it became my turn I said”ugh ugh c-c-c-could you please sign my hat?” That was it. I was star struck and so amazed that I had technically just met a legend of my misfit sport that my brain went blank. Lol
"in just doing side quests now" when i play Skyrim i only did the side quests. I finally beat the main story over a decade after it came out and i bought Skyrim when it released. The side quests are the most fun.
Tony Hawk had so many influences on my life it's hard to quantify. Not just skating but when he talks about music... Rage Against the Machine getting blasted into my room was my first real introduction into politics and the world as a whole. I remember starting up THPS2 Christmas morning and Guerilla Radio came on and I listened to that song on repeat for days. My parents would have never bought me or let me buy an album with parental advisory. But THPS was the side street to music and culture I had no exposure to. Tony Hawk is forever sealed as my favorite skateboarder and every time I hear him talk I'm reminded of what a good guy he is. Top notch episode and top notch guest. Have not been more excited to see an episode since the Tom Hanks epic meal dropped.
I've never been a skater, but I've *literally* enjoyed just about everything Tony Hawk has released, taught, spoken about, etc. over the last few decades. MOST especially his skating basics tutorial video which he posted some years ago (fairly recently).
Tony Hawk has reached the ideal level of fame, well respected well known and only gets stopped by fans tomention he looks like Tony Hawk which shows how famous he is without being bothered too much. I was a BMX rider back then but him and Mullen made skateboarding look so much cooler.
I'm still waiting for Caitlin Doughty (Ask a Mortician) to have her last meal and just listen to her and Josh have a really deep conversation about death because both of them have fascinating perspectives
I know nothing about skating, skate competition, the x-games, skating in the Olympics.. but i know Tony Hawk, and I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Well done.
I might be overanalyzing and interepreting too much into it, but it really felt like Tony Hawk was a little closed off in the beginning. Telling the same stories and phrases that he's known for; like he's a a wind-up toy for quotes you can put in an article. Massive props for Josh for breaking the ice and getting through to the guest(s)! Turned out to be another banger.
Thank you for this insightful comment I'm few mins in and was trying to decide if it s worth the watch, that was helpful(and what I was hoping for to happen further along :) )
with the way Josh interviews, I fully believe he'd be able to get Kendrick on here one day. Kdot loves when interviewers research ahead of time so that there can be a meaningful discussion; he likes the DEEP conversations, not just generic Q&A's, and I full believe that Josh can pull it off. The interviewing skills always amaze me.
Okay, so I don’t know if Mythical Kitchen reads comments all that much. But for these last meal episodes I think them showing clips of the people they interview almost as “flashbacks” would be so awesome. Like when he is talking about moments like the trick he pulled off or whatever. If there was a flashback to that whether it be a recording or photo. I would love to see it!
There might be an issue regarding copy right on that though y'know? Like I'm sure they were able to get that footage from Hawk himself cause he's just got a library of all of his stuff like that that he owns but people like Terry Crews his stuff is probably owned but a larger company that would absolutely slam the copyright button on the MK crew
That won't go well with this format at all, a documentary style interview maybe, but this show is all about the good moment with foods while talking about life. I wouldn't trade the exclusive footage of them eating/talking and emotions that you can see on their face with something that already exist on the internet.
@@tkthefirst298 I get that, but I was thinking since this has to do with “last meals” aka death, if they did just a couple small flash backs to photos or a small snippet of what they are talking about kinda like how they say life flashes before your eyes. I think it would be neat! I love the show as it is though, I just was thinking outside the box is all, not like they have to do it haha!
Binged 4 of these today. First time watcher. Certain guests have amazing taste in last meals. What is the most impressive is the quality and attention to detail of the staff cooking the meals. You can see it is hot. You can often see it was made from scratch using techniques and recipes that make it taste amazing. I watch partly for the amazing interview skills and partly because the cooking out shines any cooking show you see on cable TV. Great job team.
"Thats adding real stakes to it." "No, its adding certainty." What a mind set. Reminds me of the same sort of required confidence that Alex Honnold sometimes talks about with freesolo rock climbing. Hed be a great guest too!
Man did I ever need this, thank you so much for bringing me back to my child hood, I grew up in the same area as this man, seen him so many many times in the 80's, never got to actually speak to the him but skated at the same places just wow thank you I haven't thought about any of this in 25+ years
I was 11 yrs old at my friends house when they ordered Pizza Hut and on top of the pizza was a playstaion demo for Tony Hawk Pro Skater. We ate and then played the demo until at least midnight trying to beat each others scores. Times I'll never forget.
The 90’s/2k’s were the best time. Josh always looks like he is still living it. T shirt, chain necklace, middle part. Classic. Definitely a blink182 fan.
Tony might actually be the coolest person alive. So well spoken, so humble, funny, talented, generous, and sincere. An incredible role model for multiple generations.
Josh has become one of my most favorite interviewers that's out there. And as someone who is 51 and grew up during the height of the second wave of skating to my life now, Tony Hawk is incomparable.
I teared up when Tony described the skating environment within the skate park and Olympics...everyone cheering each other. This sport has come so far. What he endured at such a young age and to still be at the top is a testament to his mental health. My love for his commitment to not only the sport but the commitment to enjoying something that someone loves has to be a lesson. So glad that Josh had Tony on. This interview is my favorite. Tony Hawk is a legend. Icon. Tony Hawk will always be an American staple.
Tony hawk is such a legend and so humble. He’s a natural introvert and that shines through but you can tell through his answers how he truly is, he cares about people and his family and the importance of talent justified. He’s literally a god and founder of modern skateboarding and all he wants is to see that live on, he doesn’t want to be known as just some famous guy, he wants to be remembered and be an influence to the people that matter in his element and wants the next generation to thrive and shine and take on the mantle and push the envelope to the next big thing, and that’s the workings of a true genius. Legends never die and Tony Hawk will always be a legend.
Mythical Kitchen has been on fire with these last meal episodes, thank you for the great watch, the terry crews and this one are definitely my favorites.
His "adding certainty" by having his wife with him is very similar to my reasoning behind tossing my kids high in the air: I tell my wife, "There is a zero percent chance that I fail to catch them, because if there's any chance that I fail, I will; therefore, I've determined that there is not."
Met Tony Hawk and a bunch of other legends back at X Games 2011 (sometime around there) and what i remember was just how well loved he was and how kind he was. So glad i have that X Games board with his signature and a few others. Also, they got their own Brisket Carver for this episode? Just amazing lol
Tony’s thoughts on “what do you think happens when you die” is exactly what happened when a family member of mine passed a little over a year ago. The community, friends, family, and even strangers, are all rallying together to build a skatepark in his honor since it was his favorite thing to do. And his life philosophy is the slogan for the campaign, so we can all remember to live like he did ❤
As a child of a very supportive father, who maybe didn't teach me the deeper lessons or emotional security, I am astonished at how well Tony has turned his life into a something so incredible. I haven't exactly made that turn for myself, and still love my father, but seeing someone who has struggled with their own actuality and emotions without having it built up is so inspirational. Everyone deserves that strength.
This episode of Last Meals is 2 of the most important things in my life crashing together. I grew up in the 80s skating and looking up to guys like Tony and my life now is consumed by cooking and food. This is literally the interview I never knew I needed to see. Amazing.
Tony Hawk has the most pleasant voice. I only ever played Pong and Pac-Man but he had a video game that somehow I was able to really rock. That's when I had coordination. He was a positive role model for my little brother. We had plenty to do in the 70s. Plenty.
THE skater boy?? looking forward to this! just watched your Terry Crews one yesterday and loved it! (would love to see Gerard Way or Hayley Williams (or artists in that realm if that could ever happen ;; )
Josh really deserves as much praise as anyone else for being a superb interviewer. Because part of it is the research to ask the questions, but also being human and present enough to allow people who most times, are meeting him for the first time, to be as open and vulnerable is a skill that is, I daresay, not trainable.
I remember seeing him at the When We Were Young fest and he gave me a fist bump after he just biffed it on the ramp. It was literally the best part of my day that day, not even all the bands I saw. This man is a living legend.
I don't skate much but playing tony hawk as a kid made me fall in love with world design (making custom skate parks in-game) and set the foundation for my love of 3D modeling and game design that I now do professionally. Great game, great dude, great skater.
So good to see someone mention Rodney Mullen to Tony in their video. While Tony is the huge face of Skateboarding you always gotta pay respect to Mullen
I met Tony in Oceanside at a local bar where my barber’s band was playing a show, he bought me a beer and talked to me like a normal guy. He is an amazing person!
Thank you, Tony. For all you've done. I wasn't in skater culture as a kid but me and my friends would sneak into their older siblings rooms to play your games, laugh, have fun. Nothing but mad respect and adoration for everything you did for multiple generations
The fact that Tony Hawk chose Last Meals to be the first time he'd announce that he's gonna release a new game is so awesome. This episode...no, this whole show in general deserves more attention. Just as much attention that Hot Ones gets
What Tony says about changing the relationship with his children is so true. It’s never too late. I had no relationship with my father until maybe the last 12 years and I am 35. Never to late to reach out and change things and be vulnerable show your love to your parents or children
I have so much respect and genuine envy at this point for Josh. Such an excellent interviewer and truly enjoys every single one of these. Dude is just L I V I N man, and I dig it.
Josh is absolutely one of the best interviewers out there.. he really gets into the depth of the humanity of every celebrity he interviews. This is at least the second time I’ve choked up while watching a last meals video. Impressive as hell.
Given all the Mythical to Dropout crossover, I would not be surprised if it happened. That being said, if such an interview doesn't start with "Sam, where are you from[?]" then I will be in the comments.
Dude. The first thing being The Barbeque Pit is WILD. Tony is the man and so nice. That is a deep cut for San Diego and an absolute staple for me. I love it and am so stoked to see this episode.
I love that Josh does his research and makes each interview a unique experience for each celebrity. He makes them all feel comfortable and brings out a vulnerable side of them
Tony Hawk is such an inspiration to me, a 45 yr old skateboarder, skating since the early 90’s. Birdhouse’s Feasters was my first skate video. Thanks for shaping my life.
Fantastic interview.... Tony Hawk is an icon to sport ...Josh is developing in to one of the finest interviewers I've seen (and I'm 61). Kudos and thanks from an ex-skater.
So awesome. I met Tony at Holiday Havoc in 1988. I’m 53. But I got good enough to be amateur. But got a car & well. Now my youngest son is 11 he is really getting into skating. So I gotta roll with him. Thanks for this video. Very inspiring I’ll show my son
I won't lie, I lost a part of myself after a major injury prevented me from skating ever again. Skating was catharsis for me, it's how I let everything go. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about doing it again.
"Wet bread is my single favorite food group of all time" THANK YOU JOSH..! I am vindicated!!! I am such a proponent for wet bread that I actually got mentioned on a podcast (FaceJam at the time, now 100% Eat), specifically fighting for wet bread dishes. Au jus, French onion, dip sandwiches in general, a sopping wet greasy burger, tres leches... Wet bread is THE BEST.
the Tony Hawk games are so iconic and so impactful on me. It's one of the games i have plenty of memories playing with my brother and my dad as a kid literally to my earliest memories the Tony Hawk games were there. what a legend i'm glad to see he's so calm about it
I live 3 blocks from The Barbecue Pit, it’s a staple of our community and is some damn good food! Great ownership and staff too. I go there at least once a month. Also Tony is repping San Diego like a champ!
I love how Tony Hawk rather than getting treated like a traditional celebrity is almost like a cryptid. It’s like nobody ever expects to actually see him. You didn’t meet Tony Hawk, it was a Tony Hawk sighting.
This is legit the best Tony Hawk description ever.
It's like a BigFoot sighting 😂you don't know if you actually saw him
Rodney Mullen is one step deeper than that too. Dudes just skating by himself in parking lots in the rain at 3am
@@MichelJPW😂 I heard that on Tony's podcast. Mullen is an enigmatic man to say the least lol
So instead of footprints, are we cataloging skateboard tracks?
Man, Josh is such a damn good interviewer. Watching Tony be stiff for the first like, 5-10 minutes of 'Ok I'm gonna get asked all the generic Tony Hawk questions' to being fully open, relaxed and laughing at it all is amazing.

A guy who looked like Tony Hawk showed me how to ollie at a park in St. Louis back in the late 80s. Thanks, Tony.

I like your pork ribs.
What @TrunkRump said🦅🦅Lets go Blues!
STL❤❤❤
Must be the same dude who wrote that autobiography and showed me the love of skating since I was 10!
I think Tony Hawk telling you in the most polite way possible that you shouldn't push mongo is peak dad energy. Bless that man.
Tony Hawk is the epitome of we made the right person famous. Such a wholesome human being.
Could not agree more. Humble, casual, intelligent, connected to his fans and the general public... We need more like him. Stop making stupid people famous, make more Tony Hawk's.
We didn’t make him famous, his skill and talent is what got him famous. 🤣 what a stupid statement
@@jakejarvis6683 Instructions unclear: We now only have skateboarders.
You are correct, but nobody "made" him famous except for him. HE made it happen.

Tony Hawk stood right behind me at a Nine Inch Nails show in 2009.
Or was it just another white guy
Are you sure?
Another Tony Hawk sighting
Did you tell him he looked just like Tony hawk?
@@Jeremias9453 very. There were a lot of celebrities in the crowd at that particular show.

It’s not cute, it’s tough 😤
Probably running around skating empty pools, nostalgia
Skating with the Birdman is a story that never dies.
I love his go with the flow mindset. "Works for me", "okay if that's what you think" Like not caring to correct anything seems so peaceful.
He's the epitome of a California dude to me. Like a true surfer turned skateboarder. Always taking it easy, nothing worries him
I love that so many guests say 'you've done your research' shows even more how much gets put into the show, josh is one of the best interviewers
I'm so happy Josh mentioned Rodney. Rodney is basically the father of modern skateboarding and simply the creator of it, down to the boards we use today.

Food also brings people closer. Share a meal with someone if you want them to soften up to you, it really works.
I think he was probably just answering the questions that he was asked with the answers that apply to him.
He's also spoken about being an introvert, and had to learn to be extroverted. That makes it hard to open up without some ice breaking.
That’s how he’s always been

Like I'm sure they were able to get that footage from Hawk himself cause he's just got a library of all of his stuff like that that he owns but people like Terry Crews his stuff is probably owned but a larger company that would absolutely slam the copyright button on the MK crew
@@EthanVillanuevaDidn’t even think about it this way, good thinking bro
great thought but it might take you out of the interview itself
That won't go well with this format at all, a documentary style interview maybe, but this show is all about the good moment with foods while talking about life. I wouldn't trade the exclusive footage of them eating/talking and emotions that you can see on their face with something that already exist on the internet.
@@tkthefirst298 I get that, but I was thinking since this has to do with “last meals” aka death, if they did just a couple small flash backs to photos or a small snippet of what they are talking about kinda like how they say life flashes before your eyes. I think it would be neat! I love the show as it is though, I just was thinking outside the box is all, not like they have to do it haha!
Binged 4 of these today. First time watcher. Certain guests have amazing taste in last meals. What is the most impressive is the quality and attention to detail of the staff cooking the meals. You can see it is hot. You can often see it was made from scratch using techniques and recipes that make it taste amazing. I watch partly for the amazing interview skills and partly because the cooking out shines any cooking show you see on cable TV. Great job team.
"Thats adding real stakes to it." "No, its adding certainty."
What a mind set. Reminds me of the same sort of required confidence that Alex Honnold sometimes talks about with freesolo rock climbing. Hed be a great guest too!
Man did I ever need this, thank you so much for bringing me back to my child hood, I grew up in the same area as this man, seen him so many many times in the 80's, never got to actually speak to the him but skated at the same places just wow thank you I haven't thought about any of this in 25+ years
Y’all need to slow down two bangers this quick is unsustainable
I was 11 yrs old at my friends house when they ordered Pizza Hut and on top of the pizza was a playstaion demo for Tony Hawk Pro Skater. We ate and then played the demo until at least midnight trying to beat each others scores. Times I'll never forget.
For me, this interview and the Terry Crews one has been... next level. Great questions, great thougtful guests.
The 90’s/2k’s were the best time. Josh always looks like he is still living it. T shirt, chain necklace, middle part. Classic. Definitely a blink182 fan.
that guy kind of looks like tony hawk
Nah no way
Man, remember Tony Hawk? I wonder what he's up to these days
You’re trippin. Stop trippin.
He kinda does🤔
He can't be Tony Hawk he's not riding a skateboard
Tony might actually be the coolest person alive. So well spoken, so humble, funny, talented, generous, and sincere. An incredible role model for multiple generations.
Pretty cool that they were able to get someone who kinda looks like Tony Hawk
Gotta say, tony being more scared of not doing right by his wife rather than actual physical injury is so real of him tbh
Josh has become one of my most favorite interviewers that's out there. And as someone who is 51 and grew up during the height of the second wave of skating to my life now, Tony Hawk is incomparable.
I teared up when Tony described the skating environment within the skate park and Olympics...everyone cheering each other. This sport has come so far. What he endured at such a young age and to still be at the top is a testament to his mental health. My love for his commitment to not only the sport but the commitment to enjoying something that someone loves has to be a lesson. So glad that Josh had Tony on. This interview is my favorite. Tony Hawk is a legend. Icon. Tony Hawk will always be an American staple.
Tony hawk is such a legend and so humble. He’s a natural introvert and that shines through but you can tell through his answers how he truly is, he cares about people and his family and the importance of talent justified. He’s literally a god and founder of modern skateboarding and all he wants is to see that live on, he doesn’t want to be known as just some famous guy, he wants to be remembered and be an influence to the people that matter in his element and wants the next generation to thrive and shine and take on the mantle and push the envelope to the next big thing, and that’s the workings of a true genius. Legends never die and Tony Hawk will always be a legend.
1:36 I love how he laughs so genuinely at his own joke because he doesn't remember it. Classic
Mythical Kitchen has been on fire with these last meal episodes, thank you for the great watch, the terry crews and this one are definitely my favorites.
one thing that separates this interview from many others is how deep an emotional level that Josh brings the guests. I truly enjoy it.
His "adding certainty" by having his wife with him is very similar to my reasoning behind tossing my kids high in the air: I tell my wife, "There is a zero percent chance that I fail to catch them, because if there's any chance that I fail, I will; therefore, I've determined that there is not."
The back to back of Terry and Tony has filled me with such hope and inspiration for humanity its crazy
Met Tony Hawk and a bunch of other legends back at X Games 2011 (sometime around there) and what i remember was just how well loved he was and how kind he was. So glad i have that X Games board with his signature and a few others.
Also, they got their own Brisket Carver for this episode? Just amazing lol
Tony’s thoughts on “what do you think happens when you die” is exactly what happened when a family member of mine passed a little over a year ago. The community, friends, family, and even strangers, are all rallying together to build a skatepark in his honor since it was his favorite thing to do. And his life philosophy is the slogan for the campaign, so we can all remember to live like he did ❤
Tony Hawk, biggest skateboarding legend, a true BEAST!
As a child of a very supportive father, who maybe didn't teach me the deeper lessons or emotional security, I am astonished at how well Tony has turned his life into a something so incredible. I haven't exactly made that turn for myself, and still love my father, but seeing someone who has struggled with their own actuality and emotions without having it built up is so inspirational. Everyone deserves that strength.
masterful move, or serendipitous happenstance, that Josh mentions Tony's 25th anniversary at 25 minutes into the video.
This episode of Last Meals is 2 of the most important things in my life crashing together. I grew up in the 80s skating and looking up to guys like Tony and my life now is consumed by cooking and food. This is literally the interview I never knew I needed to see. Amazing.
i live in vegas and robertos rolled tacos are a staple for me, as well as carne asada fries, and california burritos.
I moved away from Vegas a while ago and I miss Roberto’s so muuuuuch 😢
A California burrito is in my last meal for sure 🌯
Oh man i miss robertos
he's just like us fr 😭
I wasn't expecting a Skate or Die or California Games references, but now my day is better because of it.
Back to back whaaaat?!
Tony dropping the tea on a possible game in the works is SIIIICKKKKK
This was a good pull! Two great Last Meals this week.
Tony Hawk has the most pleasant voice. I only ever played Pong and Pac-Man but he had a video game that somehow I was able to really rock. That's when I had coordination. He was a positive role model for my little brother. We had plenty to do in the 70s. Plenty.
THE skater boy?? looking forward to this! just watched your Terry Crews one yesterday and loved it! (would love to see Gerard Way or Hayley Williams (or artists in that realm if that could ever happen ;; )
GERARD WAY omf I would die of happiness
@@missvanity6371 RIGHT? the interview theme format of last meals would be perfect too cause so much of what they create revolves around similar themes
Josh really deserves as much praise as anyone else for being a superb interviewer. Because part of it is the research to ask the questions, but also being human and present enough to allow people who most times, are meeting him for the first time, to be as open and vulnerable is a skill that is, I daresay, not trainable.
I remember seeing him at the When We Were Young fest and he gave me a fist bump after he just biffed it on the ramp. It was literally the best part of my day that day, not even all the bands I saw. This man is a living legend.
I don't skate much but playing tony hawk as a kid made me fall in love with world design (making custom skate parks in-game) and set the foundation for my love of 3D modeling and game design that I now do professionally.
Great game, great dude, great skater.
So good to see someone mention Rodney Mullen to Tony in their video. While Tony is the huge face of Skateboarding you always gotta pay respect to Mullen
Rodney Mullen is like the Carl Jung of skateboarding
I met Tony in Oceanside at a local bar where my barber’s band was playing a show, he bought me a beer and talked to me like a normal guy. He is an amazing person!
Thank you, Tony. For all you've done. I wasn't in skater culture as a kid but me and my friends would sneak into their older siblings rooms to play your games, laugh, have fun. Nothing but mad respect and adoration for everything you did for multiple generations
Two in one week!!??
Thank you guys so much.
7:18 you might say Tony is an elder SKATESMAN. I’ll see myself out
The fact that Tony Hawk chose Last Meals to be the first time he'd announce that he's gonna release a new game is so awesome. This episode...no, this whole show in general deserves more attention. Just as much attention that Hot Ones gets
What Tony says about changing the relationship with his children is so true. It’s never too late. I had no relationship with my father until maybe the last 12 years and I am 35. Never to late to reach out and change things and be vulnerable show your love to your parents or children
I have so much respect and genuine envy at this point for Josh. Such an excellent interviewer and truly enjoys every single one of these. Dude is just L I V I N man, and I dig it.
This series needs to stay as it is, not touched by any huge tv series. but keep it as natural as this. This is a pure interviews ❤
Mythical kitchen is popping off this week!! Two incredible installments into this great show. Great work
Josh is absolutely one of the best interviewers out there.. he really gets into the depth of the humanity of every celebrity he interviews. This is at least the second time I’ve choked up while watching a last meals video. Impressive as hell.
Id love to see Sam Reich!!
Given all the Mythical to Dropout crossover, I would not be surprised if it happened. That being said, if such an interview doesn't start with "Sam, where are you from[?]" then I will be in the comments.
A Sam Reich last meal would be god tier. Would love to see a Brennan Lee Mulligan one too.
The unhinged energy of Sam/Josh or Brennan/Josh would fuel me for the next 40 years
i would be so excited for a sam or brennan interview
Lol Tonys last words on the video being do a kickflip was perfect, Last Meals just keeps getting better!
He says it's his last meal but knowing Tony he'd just come back and eat it switch stance too
Dude. The first thing being The Barbeque Pit is WILD. Tony is the man and so nice. That is a deep cut for San Diego and an absolute staple for me. I love it and am so stoked to see this episode.
It was probably pretty hawkward but thank you for asking about neurodivergence, I had been curious about that for a long time.
I love that Josh does his research and makes each interview a unique experience for each celebrity. He makes them all feel comfortable and brings out a vulnerable side of them
Damn. They got Logan Sandoval on set?? That dude was on American BBQ Showdown and did awesome. Glad he's got his own place and is kicking ass!
Tony Hawk is such an inspiration to me, a 45 yr old skateboarder, skating since the early 90’s. Birdhouse’s Feasters was my first skate video. Thanks for shaping my life.
I freaking love Tony. We need to protect this treasure of a human being
Fantastic interview.... Tony Hawk is an icon to sport ...Josh is developing in to one of the finest interviewers I've seen (and I'm 61).
Kudos and thanks from an ex-skater.
Terry Crews and Tony Hawk back to back?, damn.
So awesome. I met Tony at Holiday Havoc in 1988. I’m 53. But I got good enough to be amateur. But got a car & well. Now my youngest son is 11 he is really getting into skating. So I gotta roll with him. Thanks for this video. Very inspiring I’ll show my son
I won't lie, I lost a part of myself after a major injury prevented me from skating ever again. Skating was catharsis for me, it's how I let everything go. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about doing it again.
Tony is so humble. I still have my copy of the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater and I love it
"Wet bread is my single favorite food group of all time" THANK YOU JOSH..! I am vindicated!!! I am such a proponent for wet bread that I actually got mentioned on a podcast (FaceJam at the time, now 100% Eat), specifically fighting for wet bread dishes. Au jus, French onion, dip sandwiches in general, a sopping wet greasy burger, tres leches... Wet bread is THE BEST.
the Tony Hawk games are so iconic and so impactful on me. It's one of the games i have plenty of memories playing with my brother and my dad as a kid literally to my earliest memories the Tony Hawk games were there. what a legend i'm glad to see he's so calm about it
This segment of mythical kitchen is second to none.
Incredible, as always. Well done to both Josh and Tony.
I live 3 blocks from The Barbecue Pit, it’s a staple of our community and is some damn good food! Great ownership and staff too. I go there at least once a month.
Also Tony is repping San Diego like a champ!
