Thanos, finally! Thanks for another incredible season, Spice Lords—what was your favorite episode?

Dave Grohl was great. He took the show over lol. Get Dom Tomato 🍅 on there

He’s Cable, too! And Agent K!

Get me on the show :) your new series that host cute commenters

I literally forgot he was Thanos! as I am more accustomed as him being Sean Astin's big brother in Goonies.

Leslie mann was a good episode 👍😊

sometimes the guests just get it, and this was one of those times. Great questions as always Sean and props to Brolin for going with it and making an awesome interview. (also another week, another guest compliments the questions 🔥)

Make another No Sleep I beg you

The king of Lofi himself

@Paz 😘😘

opposite of dj kaled

He’s the rare case of celebrity who is exactly as he looks. Stoic, intense, intelligent and committed. And funny too😂 loved this one

where did you get all of those great characteristics to become so loving and genuine? josh: "at the gettin' place"

Me too

You think i curse too much? *Calmly eats*

Yeah…and the “do you think I curse a lot” 😂😂😂

Hello there how are you doing? Nice meeting you here.

That instant feeling of pride when a celebrity compliments Sean's question. I'm here doing the dishes and smiling as I was the one who was complimented. Josh is so humble and cool. It's that kind of person you wish you were friends with.

Actually in a recent interview in REAL ONES when Shia LaBeouf tells that when he was on the edge, gun in his hand and have to call someone or this is it. Call'd Sean Penn, he said he is fair away in a movie shout, but he call Brolin and he will call you. Then they meet and Brolin come and helped him. (Look it up, amazing story.)

Dude is the definition of “calm, cool, and collected.”

What did you expect. Dude is literally THANOS cuh 😂

No, he's a survivor

I’ll never get tired of guests being impressed with Sean.

@clairebanner

same

What do you mean same?

@Josh Brolin Dee is referring to my comment.

He's like a spicy Nardwuar.

The only interview where the guest thanks the host and actually means it

I didn’t expect Josh Brolin to be my favorite guest ever on Hot Ones, but here we are... Phenomenal episode

Right that will keep them coming for the questions

him and paul rudd have got to be my top 2 people who have ever been on this show!

YES! Isn't weird how people surprise you?

Shia Labeouf surprised me.

Samee

I just adore Josh Brolin, the way he talks, his warm energy and anxiety. He's so real, genuine; lets himself be vulnerable. And funny as all get out. I think this is my favorite episode.

God, the editor is always on top of their game. From the smallest perfectly timed comedic sounds, to them appearing in the Soul World with Da Bomb taking the place of Thanos. I'm truly in awe. Great work.

Josh Brolin is the King of Hot Ones guests! I wish I could like this episode 100 times. He crushed this challenge and what great back and forth talk and questions! One of my favorite Hot One's episode of all time.

This was probably the best episode I’ve watched so far. Josh Brolin is a certified Cali boy, and he’s a super chill dude. Great friendly character. He could mash with anyone.

what does "Cali boy" means ?

"I've never felt as clean as you look" is an all time quote/compliment.

Their exchange was perfectly balanced, as all things should be

It has literally been 3 minutes…

Wonder what it cost him….

@Tejas Chaudhary yeah I'm like, how would you know? I think OP is a time traveler 🤔

@Tejas Chaudhary watched it on 15x speed for maximum efficiency

you watched a 27 minute video in 1 minute!

From all the episodes i've watched, I like how Sean mirrors whatever the guest does to make them feel more comfortable. Whether it be breaking down and drinking the milk, stretching, whatever it is to help the guest experience the pain and the remedies as a group, even though he likely doesn't need it.

I love how just about every guest Sean has on, they are genuinely so impressed with his questions. Sean you are great!!

This is one of my favorite Hot Ones. Brolin seems so open and honest about his life and down to earth.

My admiration for Josh Brolin just sky rocketed after this episode, what an awesome and humble person he is, truly a legend 🙌🙌🙌

What truly makes this show is the in depth questions that chris asks. Josh was in shock at the questions. It lets everyone see them as people and not celebrities. Its very cool to see the guests talk sincerely and deeply about some of the things that they are asked. SO GOOD!!

His name is sean

Going the whole episode without a single question about the Avengers has to be a testament to the dedication you put towards the research into the guests, and we appreciate you for that. Thank you.

I mean... I'm a massive Avengers fan I wanted just one question...

@Erick Chinchilla reality is often dissapointing

Honestly wouldn't be surprised if it was the last question, but he didn't ask a question for the last dab I don't think

@acegambit777 epic reply lol

or the Goonies

Always love when guests are caught off guard by how great and well-researched Sean's questions are. Definitely shows that he's a cut above most interviewers.

I always love how much the guests love being asked such abstract questions.

Hello there, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.

Josh Brolin has to be one of the coolest celebs ever. He has no airs, doesn’t ever come off “holier-than-thou”, and seems really down to earth. Also, this interview was one of the best I’ve ever seen, Hot Ones or otherwise. What a great guest!!

Hello how are you doing today it’s nice meeting you here

Hello there, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here.

Hi nice meeting you

Agree that he has to be one of the best guests I’ve seen. Love seeing the celebs actually really truly enjoy the interview. Love that Sean is able to surprise them with great questions that trigger nostalgia or deep answers. Love the chemistry he is able to make with each guests. And of course love the comedy that naturally happens in a situation like this. Sean and his team have really created something exceptional here with hot ones. I wish them so much success and a long future of doing this show.

Mr. Brolin is just fun. A down to Earth guy, great sense of humor, intelligent. A joy to listen to. 👍

I LOVE it when guests are blown away by the quality of the questions asked and the research that went into making those questions. This series is top notch and Sean is such an incredibly talented host! Well done.

I will never get tired of guests getting impressed by the depth of Sean’s questions.

Sean Evans best interviewer all time

this!

Also props to the team

It truly is the best part of the show. If it was just the standard movie questions it would have become boring a long time ago. Sean and the team do a tremendous job on research. Love it when the guests are impressed!

Always got them nardwuar vibes. You love to see it

This guy is a Gem. A real down to earth type of guy.

Josh Brolin is a stud, he never disappoints. He can't be in too many movies. Fantastic episode.

My dad grew up in the same area as Josh Brolin, he told me to watch this one and I can't stop laughing because of the similarities I see between them. Josh seems like a really cool personable dude, he seems like a lot of fun honestly

Sean and Graham Norton are the Kings of interviews. They ask amazing questions that you don't hear over and over. This was great.

hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.

It is so much better when the guest actually eats the wing, in entirety. Josh B rocks this! He is one of my favorite guests ever.

"I don't ever wanna do tonight talk shows again" well said, Brolin. I think we all feel that way after seeing this show

Love you and your work bro!

petscop 2

SIMOOOOON! What a treat to see you here.

you know alot of quests have sayd that before. so not surprised.

you are absolutely right. I love that celebrities talk about his show, the best host ever.

What makes me happiest while watching these interviews is the adoration and admiration they have for Sean because he puts in the WORK to get to know these guests. They truly see, almost every time, that he genuinely cares about the celebs and their responses. That takes true talent.

hello, how are you doing it is nice meeting you here.

You guys need to start thanking the team more. Sean is the interviewer yeah, but I have strong doubts he's the only one doing research and compiling the questions

This was a genuinely good episode, I didn’t miss a word. They both made each other even funnier and more interesting lol

I finally got the chance to sit down and binge watch the season and this was my all time favorite episode!! You know, I have to say, the back and forth, give and take of the interview was fascinating to watch and reminded me so much of The Graham Norton show (which I adore as an American)!! Sean, outstanding job, as usual, bringing out the best in an interview!

I love josh Brolin the dude is like the definition of cool

I love that Sean is so good at his job that people that Have done thousands of interviews are actually impressed.

It’s crazy Sean got through the whole episode without asking a Thanos question. Props to him. This shows how well thought his questions are.

very good point.. he probably knows what most actors are tired of being asked as well

Josh Brolin has good variety of characters. I only see the 90s brolin lol

I want you like your comment but it already has 420 so I can’t ruin it Edit: someone else liked so I’ll like it now

the T-pose in the Soul Stone was the perfect reference...lol

Thank you saved me 30 minutes of my life

Such a good host man, that little solidary sip of milk he takes whenever the guests take one in full panik. We all know he doesn't need that sip but it probably helps the guests a lot to see him drinking it too. Really good episode as always, great job guys.

Man, Josh is pure gold. Everything about this episode is awesome!

I have a lot of love for both of these men. Even more so after seeing how likeable they are while suffering.

Took a gamble with this episode, and it's one of the best I've seen. Josh seems like a real down to earth dude, it's really cool to see.

he’s the human equivalent of what you see is what you get

I did NOT expect this episode to be so fun and wholesome! Josh is truly a very nice guy behind that rugged exterior! 👏

That was my impression exactly. This is now one of my favorite episodes.

Of course, he's a Goonie after all ;)

Wholesome is one of the most overused terms these days. The guy was cursing was the whole time 😂😂😂

FACTS. This was one of the best shows since Gordon Ramsay

@macphee24 😂😂😂

Brolin seems down to earth.... mellow. Not hyped on his own image. His father was brilliant.

I have a new favorite person, Josh Brolin is all in on life. I have never seen anyone fully committed to everything the way he does. Thank you Josh Brolin.

One of the foremost things that pops out from this show and several of the guests have commented on it is that the questions asked are the ones that never get asked.. Keeping it real and fun at the same time shows how relaxed the guests get. Fan forever

I love it the episodes where the guest actually eats the whole wing. When I saw it was Josh Brolin, I knew he'd be one of the good ones.

aw man, this is topping it for one of my fave episodes with famous ppl who are so humble and conscientious. Sean, ya format is amazing and you really do bring the real person out in the interviews :)

I ve always loved watching Josh Brolins movies and to see a show of him talking about himself and how laid back he is just makes that all the more solid!! And licking the board!!! Awesome!!!

The greatest compliment Sean could ever get is being praised for his questions. Which is why so many high class artists are showing up. Amazing.

i love how these guys can be themselves on here and they realize it too, even Josh saying these are the best questions he has ever been asked.

Josh's real world demeanor definitely radiates some Jeff Bridges 'The Dude'.

Right? Right? That's exactly what I was thinking too.

Not just that but he kinda looks like him too, o was thinking he could play him lol

I’m not Lebowski you’re Lebowski I’m the dude, or duderino or duder

I'm 39 and Jeff Bridges has been a celebrity crush for most of my life. Now that you mentioned it, this is explains my attraction to Josh Brolin 😏🤣

YES

What a great guy! Well spoken,educated and a down to earth person! 99% of guests say that this show has the the best interview questions. And I agree.. love this show!

Outer Range, I highly recommend it. It was a very good season one. Great actors.

Outer Range is the superior set-in-Wyoming show 🔥

Easily one of the best Hot Ones EVER. Paul Rudd and Josh Brolin are tied in the best episode, imo

The questions, the guest, the ambient, everything amazing. Nice work Sean

This man is so naturally funny and I definitely didn't expect it 💀

Man, I love how much the guests love the show.. it makes it so real.

The schedule these people go through when they're out promoting movies is pretty intense. Youtube shows are usually awesome for them cause it's way more loose, instead of journalists hammering them with personal questions.

@VGA Port Authority its pretty much. Answer the same questions to promote the movie

I imagine they love the show because it's not just another interview with the same questions they've been asked a billion times already. MAJOR props to Sean and his team for staying original in a world where nothing new is learned from a hundred talk shows.

Young elizabeth olsen and josh brolin before he was old in the movie old boy ruined the avengers action scenes

? it would be less real with non-celebrities?

This should become a cable television show! Sean and the crew deserve to get paid. Best questions and the people all seem to have fun…even with the burning mouths, hahaha

You Think he îs not paid ? TV hosts move on YouTube platform, to gain more Cash... he îs ok...

This channel is monetized. Lol. They make BANK. Besides… cable tv is dinosaur tv.

I gotta be honest; the fact that Josh Brolin's voice is naturally like that, and they didn't have to alter it in post-production to get Thanos's baritone is rather satisfying.

I love his voice. And you can see that he is so committed in everything he does, it´s easy to see why guys like the Coens and Villeneuve work with him.

17 seasons?! WOW! Absolutely AWESOME job Sean!!!

Legend. Love a lot of his films but No Country for Old Men and Sicario are on another level. Such an awesome dude.

Fun isn't something one considers when balancing the hot wings of death, but this interview does put a smile on my face.

"I've never felt as clean as you look" is one of the best Hot Ones lines ever 😂

@Nerfherder42 You're absolutely right. Brolin is a legend

This here is what comment sections were made for! Perfectly...

…balanced, as all things should be. ~_~

Hate they cut that line

The team always does incredible research and their questions are so intelligent.

This one made me laugh out loud multiple times. Love this show. Keep it comin

One of my favorite episodes. Hilarious, genuine. Epic job by Sean per usual.

This was an awesome episode. Josh is great. I'm surprised you didn't talk about his dad!

Josh is so cool. That gravelly voice is awesome.

It never gets old when a guest is surprised that Sean knows some obscure/secretive info about them. Love it.

My favourite part

Like the Actor's Studio guy before he passed away.

He’s one of the best present day interviewers

Read My Name

Same!

One of my favorite actors. He is talented and naturally alluring. Great combination for the screen.

I'm binge watching episodes, even though I'm a long time watcher, and this is one of the best I've seen in a while. Love it. 😀❤️😀

Ive never seen guests compliment the interviewer and the questions, and talk about how much fun they had like the way they do on hot ones. I dont watch a whole lot of interviews admittedly, but the ones i see are very much run of the mill. Hot ones does such a great job making sure the questions are unique and interesting and it makes for a better interview not just because the neat questions give is a new perspective on the guest but because the guests seem genuinely excited to answer them.

I actually met Josh Brolin at a film festival in Idaho. Absolutely amazing down to earth kind soul. I talked to him about how I wanna make movies and I had an idea for a movie that I wanted to work with him on down the road one day, and his response was, “Well I’ll see you then kid.” That gave me a lot of motivation

wasn't expecting to laugh this much. one of my fav episodes

Whenever Sean gets complimented for his questions is like a shot of endorphins to the brain.

100% lol

every! time!!

It makes you feel so proud to be a part of this for some reason

You have that “proud parent” moment lol

Authentic. Detailed wisdom. Class. And then in the end, killed it by licking the palate.

So far Brolin is the chillest of the celebs that talks real with Sean. Really enjoyed the no holds barred truth.

I love Josh Brolin. Such a cool dude, for sure. I'll watch anything he's in. Charisma incarnate.

Sean does ask the most ingenious questions…and I like that the guests are pleasantly surprised by them too. Shows that he really does his homework before work. Besides, he never cuts the guest in between… he always listen…unlike some others who try to outdo their guests and show us how smarter they are than the person they’re interviewing. Josh Brolin’s voice though…. 😊 I can forgive him for being Thanos!!!

This show deserves awards for their interview questions. Research team & Seans delivery and banter.. perfection! I LOVE when the guests point out how impressed they are. Great work Hot Ones!

I honestly am upset that this has not yet happened! They should win some journalism award for this for sure! Their preparation makes this show an exceptional spectacle each time. Absolute perfection.

I LOVE when that happens - my favorite time might be stone cold Steve Austin. I want a list of episodes where that happens haha

Couldn’t agree more!!!! Sean gets the most compliments on the subject matter and uniqueness of his questions!!! Definitely award winning show and interviewer in my book!!

@nwbaldi that would be a Loooonnnnggggg list lol

This

I'm late on this one but doing my 0,0001% to help the algorithm because this was a fantastic interview. I just rewatched No Country for Old Men last week and saw this one. What a guy, what a legend of a man. Sean really is the best interviewer in the game. It's been said a thousand times but it is so true.

Man these make me want to watch/listen to a Sean Evans podcast. The interviews are always way more interesting than I expect them to be and almost overshadow the wings

This show got addicting..not a fan of spicy foods..but I LOVE in almost every episode the guests mention how they love the questions..wonder how u knew about this or that..and they really enjoy being there..great concept..👍👍

Total respect for the guests who actually take a bite instead of a nibble. Max kudos the the ones who EAT THE WHOLE WING!!! 🍗🐔

They're all great episodes, but this one really is outstanding. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.

12:08 was the highlight of this interview. Besides the ending when Josh licks the board. The Young Riders is my favorite series, the one that introduced me to Josh Brolin and the fact that he gives credit to the actors and the show as being a big piece of his career and successful part of his career means so much. These days its like people only look to an actors recent works and the small series from long ago get lost along the way. Hearing about a show such as the Young Riders years later is so cool! Great interview!

the fact that josh cleaned ALL the wings too..props to him. Beast.

Dude said he was on a diet and empty stomach, he probably loved this interview lol

Right?? We've seen the toughest of men break and I was instantly curious how Josh would survive! I had no doubt he would make it to the Last Dab but, he's the kind of man who licks the PlaTe when something is THAT good! Dang!

just like Halle Berry with no problem

Snapped 100% of those wings from the universe.

Goonies never die!!!

One of my favorite guests you've had! Neat dude. And Outer Range was a great show!

11:28 sums up this episode and shows how genuine of a person JB is…. Love that 5ish seconds the most out of the whole thing

Love him in general. His respect for good pie just made my day

Interesting to hear them talk about these little situations that most people have experienced before. Like choking on a piece of chicken in front of someone else but trying not to let them know.

Brolin is a legend for eating all the wings fully, double dipping the Last Dab, THEN licking the board that's still coated in it. Also gave a great interview. Probably in my top 3 of all time.

Sean didn't double dip, how often does he Not follow the guest?!?

Josh brolin acting and clearly also his spicy wing eating skills are top tier. No country for old men is by far one of my top 5 movies, his calmness and decisiveness in the things he does really shows through in this hot ones conversation and helps me understand why his performance in that movie was so good.

Well he did say he started on an empty stomach, dude was obviously hungry 😂

Young elizabeth olsen and josh brolin before he was old in the movie old boy ruined the avengers action scenes

@Ocker3 I was going to mention that! 99 times out of a 100, he DOES. He must've been scared. Lol

Josh Brolin = one of the most virile actors ever! Oh, yeah. He was also one of the best guests (contestants?) to appear on this unique show.

By far the best episode and interactions I have watched. Kudos.

I've seen most of these episodes now. I've been surprised. Kinda let down… hardly. I've been amazed & perfectly content. This is my favorite episode, so far. I loved the reactions. Their conversation was very interesting & funny. Josh B. (not sure how to spell his last name at the moment) is a naturally funny guy. I've always liked him. He's a great actor… but now I have more of an appreciation for who he is in the industry. He's a guy that… as far as I can tell… deserves all the good things in life. My favorite episode… right here. Hands down. Thank you, for sharing.

Josh seems like a super cool guy, somebody I could definitely hang out with. Outer Range was fantastic!

Great interview as Always! Keep up the hard work !

I won’t remember Sean for the record breaking number of hot wings he’s eaten, I’ll remember him for immense number of guests who’ve appreciated his questions. He’s different 👍👍👍

Nardwuar
