    I thought the thumbnail was a Doctor Mike video, then Josh appeared and I thought I was hallucinating 😂
  • @thegamingdogwr
    Finally , Dr Mike and GMM / Mythical Kitchens cross over but we need a cross over in Last Meal .
  • @Hellofrosh
    The fact that y’all put a betterhelp ad on this after Mike has stated in podcasts that he’ll never take the sponsorship for ethical reasons is so amusing to me
  • @MagiusDel
    Opinions are like casseroles - they're usually thrown together from whatever you have lying around and far too often end up only being half baked!
  • @Nvenom8.
    If you look closely, you can see Mike dying a little inside when they started talking about chiropractics and wet cupping.
  • @shapeofsoup
    Coke zero is so much closer to regular coke for me that I don’t even crave regular coke anymore. When Diet Coke was my go-to, a taste of regular coke would be my undoing. With Coke Zero, it doesn’t even faze me. And that’s my justification for my Coke Zero addiction.
  • @katiesfarmhouse
    When I got sober 37 years ago, I told myself that I'd never worry about drinking Diet Coke- allowing myself one "vice". I'm now 65 and still drink probably 5-6 Diet Cokes per day. Not dead yet!
  • @vee6761
    I wish this had been more of a conversation with Dr Mike than what felt like a question and answer session where he came in and out of their conversation
  • i sincerely appreciate what dr mike does in terms of highlighting the difference between correlations and causation, and it was so fun to see him chat with nicole and josh! i work as an academic editor so i deal with research all the time and whenever someone sends me a link to an article headlining about the latest link between variable xyz and alzheimer's (my grandmother has it and people think they're being helpful) i get so frustrated because these news articles ALWAYS involve a factually inaccurate takeaway from the actual research findings.

    Everyone who ate tomatoes in the 19th century died.
  • @dianaw4072
    I switched from regular cokes(about 1-2/day) to zero sugar soda and ended up drinking less and drinking more still water with some La Croix here and there. I’m down almost 20 pounds in 3 months and this video just helped me realize why. 😂 I think it does make a difference. 😅
  • @Ella.N
    Doctor Mike is a legend! Josh and the mythical crew need to make a Doctor Mike last meal video.
  • As a Minnesotan, I love that Josh added that we call a casserole a “hot dish!”
  • @benwaymire1594
    as a medical student and long time fan of gmm, i never thought i’d see the day where my favorite medical youtuber and my favorite mythical food people would come together to create a funny yet informative masterpiece
