Your Father is naturally humble.

Your laugh is your dad's laugh. Peas in a pod. Such a privilege to be invited into someone's life. Thanks for sharing.

Wow!!! Super proud of you Josh. Your parents are amazing people. Next time please bring Carol too. We need to hear how she felt during your addiction.

"You were a normal kid" proceeds to jump from the roof into a tree 😂😂😂 loving this so far!

I've never been an addict, but I had so much emotional challenges, after my car accident in 1987, that left me with traumatic injuries; I definitely couldn't cope well with it. Still after almost 35 years, I can only get used to the rejection and devastating pain. To get to the point, during your very real and intimate interview with your dad, I could only sob and sob. Your dad is a super father, that loves you so much. I couldn't stop looking at your eyes. Your eyes were clear; with so much hope and care. Your father's eyes were full of love and admiration for you. This is how G-d must feel about His children. 💜💜💜

You're both so cute. You have the same sense of humour and laugh. Thank you dad for being that dad that focusses and praises your son for who he is now. So awesome!!!

Meeting your Dad here is wonderful You are both gentle, funny, kind, intelligent, and compassionate I love your podcasts and watch everything you post!

This is easily the best podcast in SA.

My goodness, that father is just so sweetest, softest and loving Daddy ever. Such an affirming bloke .

Loved this. So raw, so honest. We need to have more open discussions like this. I guarantee you Josh, you have already helped so many people by putting this out there. Your Dad is Amazing. I love his humour and you can just see how much he loves you and how proud and supportive your Family was, and last but not least. You wanted to change, so huge kudos to you. May you go from strength to strength with your podcasts. You got Talent Bruv❤

What drugs were you using? You don't mention it also would've been interesting to hear how much money you took from your parents including all the cars. Awesome content 👍

Thank you for sharing your story! Your dad is an incredible man.

So proud of you Josh! Your dad is amazing and so is your family. My dad struggled with addiction and watching as a family member is very difficult. Thank you for sharing your story. My dad has recovered...6 years!!!!! I balled my eyes out on my wedding day because he was sober and conscious to actually dance with me. Keep on being awesome Josh!

You are brave to share your story, well done for opening other people's eyes and giving people a different perspective on what you wnet through and how you overcame it. WELL DONE BROTHER KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Love the fact that your so open and you've taken ownership of the horrible things you did and your such a role model for alot of young people and I love watching your videos been a supporter since day one! Keep it going Josh!!

Thank you for sharing. What an inspiration both you and your dad are. Tony is a legend 🙌

Well done Josh! And with the support of a dad and family like that you can only excel.

I've had the privilege of meeting you Josh and I know you're a legend! Why have I not seen this podcast sooner? Nonetheless, Proud of you brother!!!!

Congratulations on your first podcast! What an incredible story too. Well done.

Awesome start to the podcast, Josh. You've got very good energy for this and I'm excited to see how the rest go!

What a way to honor your parents. Your testimony is amazing. Love these videos. Your platform is awesome. Enjoyed it so much.

Wow, what an amazing journey! Thank you for the podcast. The first of many I hope. Family…… where would we be without those who love us so unconditionally!

This was beautiful to watch...! I'm glad your relationship has recovered fully as well

This is one of the realest conversation i have seen in my entire life. the father is so honest and yet emotionally intelligent.

I love the relationship of you and your dad! You have such a cool dad!

Yay! Huge congrats on the recovery, and for staying close to the rents :) Such a great podcast

My new favorite RU-vid channel ! Keep up the good work. So proud that it's SA .

I loved the honesty and I think I can say that we are all so proud of you both! Can’t wait for the next episode 🎉

I love this thank you for being so real.

❤ Well done on recovery Josh. Your content is gut wrenchingly humble and genuine & delivered in the best storytelling. I'm transported from giggling to getting a lump in the throat within seconds. Your Dad is amazing. Looking forward all your content 💯🤍

This is crazy, this was your first podcast! From one recovering addict to another, stay strong buddy and focused. This was an amazing and funny video

This is beyond beautiful, ❤️🙌, and so I pray to God as I also start my very own podcast. Inspired

Great first episode, looking forward to more!

Congratulations on your first podcast Josh. Really enjoyed it

Another awesome video. I started watching all your videos...you doing a great job brotha!

Great topic Josh, the focus is usually always on the addict but not what the loved ones go through. Working my way through your podcasts, interesting journey and you should be very proud of yourself for getting in front of your addiction and being the person you are today. Well done Josh's family for standing by him, not all families are as understanding or close enough to offer the same level of support, nicely done guys ♥

Great job. This is the 3rd vid of yours I'm watching. I like your perspective

Really enjoyed this. So real and uncontrived
