I know that you've had celebrities like Tom Hanks, but this is someone I've been idolizing since I've been a preteen. Serj was such a great guest... It is crazy how soft spoken he is considering his vocals are so intense. I'll continue playing my guitar dreaming that I'll by as creative enough to come up with a riff as good as System of a Down.

It used to be Hot Ones that was the go to interview show on KZbin, not any more. Last Meals is an instant watch for me every time now. I love the vibes, the connection with the guest through balancing serious topics with levity and great food. No punishment, no challenge, no dramatic sound effects, just chilled times and a great look into the mind of the guest.

[@skribblestyle]

Hot Ones still pulls the guest in to a state of vulnerability and gets them to be a lot more "raw"; no filter, all extremes, which has its charm. It has its own strengths, but I definitely agree, I much prefer this more relaxed and comfortable style of conversation and every video is an instant watch.

When I was around 6 or 7 in 2007 I moved halfway across the nation. I learned about SOAD when I was going through my dad’s cds and I immediately loved them. As I got older around 11 or 12 I learned that they broke up and I thought I would never see them live. I moved to California in 2018 and I was in Malibu and we’re leaving this ice cream shop and out of the corner of my eye I see Serj!!! I was ecstatic. I didn’t end up going up to him due to the fact he was with his family. I didn’t care I didn’t go up to him seeing him from afar was fine!! Then in 2020 I was gonna go see them live!!!! Then Covid happened and they don’t have any concerts lined up. I hope to see them soon!!!

Something about Serj' character and how he conducts himself always makes me emotional. He makes me feel secure within myself and I feel warm. He simply shows me the peace that I strive to achieve. I get choked up because I wish I had this type of personality around me growing up. I love his influence, his message and what he believes in. I purposely waited to watch this because I didn't want it to be just a quick watch. I wanted to be calm serious and ready. This was an amazing interview and I enjoyed every second.

I love this so much. When I was a lost angry middle schooler, this person shepherded me through so many weird times. And to see him as a calm, gentle grown up continues to provide a drop of peace in an ocean of dumb. Mr. Josh, you asked Serj about lightness making heavy things heavier, but the inverse is just as important and harder to find for the inexperienced. You cant really understand joy and levity and peace until you've stood in the darkness. I am really glad that you have found this useful, meaningful, important, and yeah, silly, work to do.

New favorite last meals episode most def. Serj is such a genuine and warm individual. Great interview Josh, keep it up with these amazing episodes!!

[@Prindlco]

This is by far the most moving, and in depth interview I’ve seen Josh do! Josh clearly grew up with Serj’s music the way I did. Amazing conversations

[@ingridbmangubat]

I want Serj to read MY coffee ✨ holy hell I think that coffee reading caught Josh off guard! That was just such a gem ✨

[@emilyireland2968]

Can I just say that I have grown to love Josh in this format. He asks the most amazing questions and he really connects with the guest. Nicely done Josh!

I have never been more inspired and humbled by a piece of media in such a long time. Serj just seem's so full, so... whole of a person. A wisdom that belies his years. Content, Respectful and Honest. When he said "my wife" to the one person dead or alive to share a meal with. It honestly broke my heart but filled me with such warmth to see a man so in love with some one, to just say it. Wow, this man actually gives me hope for the future. As always Josh smashing it out of the park with the questions, i hope this show blows up and we start getting more and more people to come on the show.
