Too much/many when the sentence includes both countable and uncountable nouns?

I've learnt that "much" is for uncountable nouns and "many" is for countable nouns. Can I say "too many [countable noun] and [uncountable noun]"? Or do I have to say "too many [countable noun] and too much [uncountable noun]"?
