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

Its very clear your dad loves you a lot bud. You lucky to have such loving parents. Enjoy and cherish them while they still around. Good luck to you. Keep coming back. One day at a time <3

mate that "brick" grazed you, and it'd not have caused braindamage nevermind death. I love what you do but it should always report facts

The birds well let say they werent to bright

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

Damn bruv I cannot believe this. Dope content wish I opened up to my dad. He tried.

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 ♥

My goodness, that father is just so sweetest, softest and loving Daddy ever. Such an affirming bloke .<3

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

Pt.2 with your dad please Josh or mom as well.

I feel like you're just like your dad

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!!!

Your dad is so dope, yall look alike so much, but this was definitely an amazing podcast :)

My brothers went thru a jackass movie phase too 🤣🤣 my mum would lose her mind every time she'd come home 🤣

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!

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

Did you go to Harmony clinic in Hout Bay?

Your Father is naturally humble.

Do you know Dean Furman, He really really looks like you.

The Bafana Bafana captain 😂

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

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

Do you ever regret the things you made your parents go through? What are you doing now to repay their generous hearts that loved you unconditionally? For me, I see narcissistic personality traits that you even use their property for your podcasts.

How about you MAN up, go out and face the world by renting a studio somewhere instead of repeating the same manipulative traits you did over the years. YOU ARE REPEATING THE SAME THINGS and the sooner you realise that, the BETTER!!!

Your dad seems very sweet and has been patient with you for YEARS! Time to MAN UP!!!!

What was under that tree....

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

Thank you thank you thank you, much love, cant speak now........to emotional

wish that everyone learns from this, in a good way.

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

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!!!!

Man ur on to something with this podcast keep it up 💪

When did you start using?

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

This is easily the best podcast in SA.

great content

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!!

Brilliant Josh!

I’m curious besides weed what drugs did you do

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. 💜💜💜

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

Love your podcasts bro these are amazing

The videos cracked me up🤣

This is amazing to witness. I hope one day in the future you will remember I was here from the start 🙏
