Brothers Green, Pro Home Cooks, MikeG… whatever it is or whatever it changes to — you’re still the cool dude that taught me how to make sourdough bread. You have a special spot in my heart! ☺️

I am a Mom of 12, 11 adopted out of foster care and they have expectations of 3 meals a day and snacks. I hate to cook. I have no creative ideas at all. Watching your videos and others on Youtube have helped me so much to get better at something I don't like to do. I have a instapot and airfryer because of you and they get used everyday. It has made my life so much easier and I have actually made some great things and I've found that it really isn't that hard if you have good inspiration. You have provided that and your realness and passion show through your videos. Thank you for sharing your life.

What started as two obviously stoned roommates cooking stuff turned into a gardening and using your own produce to make good home meals type channel. I'd call that a success.

[movieguy]

To those who watch the video, the full thing, you are the ones that will be here forever, always part of the community, because we all know if you watch all the videos you appreciate the work he does more.

[peggyunderhill]

Whatever you name your channel this 84 year old will continue to watch. Good luck.

*Please don’t delete a single video of pro home cooks!* I’m totally here for the new branding and vibe but you’d do us all a disservice to delete the content we have saved to feed our families & learn from. Please keep all the pro home cooks videos. Sincerely, a loyal yt follower.

[magicvibrations]

After the Brothers Green breakup I honestly thought I was done watching this channel, but I gave it the benefit of the doubt and Pro Home Cooks really delivered. If the audience could survive that, surely we'll survive this. I look forward to watching whatever you put out! Also I would love a collab with someone like Gaz Oakley if you ever get the chance, and of course more Josh content :)

You know your gold when you get great comments from the older generation (me included). And your time line is awesome! "Do what you can with what you have" Never be afraid of change, no one stays the same over the course of a lifetime. Good job and great respect to you.

[YOUENJOYLIFE]

congrats brother, big stuff! I enjoyed our Brothers Green days together and so happy to see all the epic changes you've made and the direction you've taken things in your life.

[gwendolinbarnard]

I literally learned cooking from you. I was so inspired seeing you make food from scratch in your small apartment in Brooklyn, that I started making food from scratch in my tiny kitchen in London many many moons ago. Now I have a 'how hard can it really be' attitude, some essential equipment and still the desire to make wholefood dishes for myself and loved-ones, saving tons of money and feeding me well. Thanks so much for playing a part in my journey, I thoroughly enjoyed seeing you grow over the years.

[TheJorgSacul]

I'm 60 years old, and YOU are the one who taught me how to quickly and easily dice a stupid onion with zero effort. I've watched all kinds of other cooks and chefs do it, but your method RULES. I find your shows to be fun, educational, and engaging, and I look forward to your new content. Keep having a great Life!

[JuliaAbud]

I began watching this channel when it was Brothers Green. When it became pro home cooks it felt it was what I needed at that time.
Now, I am buying my first house with a garden and I love that feeling that this channel will evolve to what I need again. 😊 Keep the great job!

[treytwey]

Pro Home Cooks is one the channels that showed me how to cook healthy food, when I got out of college instead of just boxes of pasta or frozen whatever. Thank you for all that I've learned and I'm excited to see what happens in upcoming content!

[nancysueleske]

I am elderly, and we eat plant based for health. In the past I enjoyed many of your videos, observations on ferments, bread, plant foods. Always something to learn and explore. I appreciate cooking that keeps in mind the animals and climate more everyday. Don’t forget to lean into that! Thanks.

[kerryblackburn]

This world is in so dire need of transparency, honesty and authenticity. It's so obvious. You hit all 3 so eloquently here in this "rant" as you called it, but I think everyone will notice and appreciate this video for what it was. I have been around since BrothersGreen and have enjoyed watching you grow. Looking forward to the new adventure of incorporating your gardening into your channel. Good Luck Mike.

[whiteraven]

I found Brother's Green as an exhausted mom trying to find yummy meals my kids would actually eat that wouldn't break the bank. I binged the videos. I can't say I've watched many of your pro home cooks. Even though I am subscribed with all new videos notifications on, I wasn't sure how you got on my YouTube😂. I think I've watched 3-4 videos as pro home cooks. This video has put all the pieces together. Thank you for explaining it! I'm excited to hear that you're pulling away from pro home cooks and letting your creativity go wild again.

[nancyseiler]

I’m heading to 80 now and I can assure you you will have many evolutions in your life. Cuz life is too long to be content with one passion. You don’t wear the same clothes you wore 20 years ago; you won’t wear the same interests — hopefully. If you’re ready for change and seek it, it’s less hard. Looks to me like you are just diversifying. Nice way to evolve. I’m excited for your upcoming videos.

[clsa]

As someone who found you during the Brothers Green era and followed since then - i really do appreciate this full explanation. As much as it is none of my business, things did seem a bit weird and this clears things up in a very healthy way - so thank you.

[dacker]

It took 18 minutes to get to the point. That’s how much I enjoy your videos. The vibe you have created really speaks to who you are and what I hope to learn from you going forward. You’re awesome. Keep growing.

[MeegMaster]

Crazy it's already been 5 years since pro home cooks started. It's been an absolute joy to watch the channel evolve and grow.
