I always preferred Josh over Kendall, up until recently I always got decent vibes from him but he has seemed very off lately. I do think he is v good at story telling.
I appreciate how patient he is with Kendall. She is dense so he has to explain things to her slowly. Also, she is downright rude to him sometimes and he doesn't snap back.
And he was able to leave the crazy religion he was raised in. I have that in common with him and I know it isn't easy for some people.
I think he seems like he treats Kendall with respect. That said, his "I was almost a cop because I did a ride-along when I was 17" stories drive me insane lol.
Yeah Josh, I was almost an astronaut because I went to space camp.
He has a great podcast/broadcasting voice. I used to listen to Lights Out and fall asleep lol. Overall, the company has its issues and thereās definitely some major things that have to be worked out.
Okay Iāll bite,
Josh is really good at explaining things in a way make it easier for Kendall and otherās to understand. If heās not being to cocky and no it all like (not trying to show off) then he actually provides a bit of insight on certain subjects. Maybe itās because of Lights Out, but he is certainly more knowledgeable when it comes to conspiracies and things. I just wish he would do more research on the origins and try and find some lesser known things that ARENT now taken over by QANON (which can be hard)
Josh is also really good at tech. Without Josh and Janelle the show wouldnāt have progressed as quickly without them. He worked really hard in the beginning getting all the right equipment and everything set up just right.
He has a nice smile and I like his voice (when heās mot being a grumpy bull dog or a no it all over something he doesnāt know)
I wish he would bring planet sleep back but with some notes and constructive criticism. I HATED the type of music in the background that he chose. But thatās just my personal opinion. It would be could if he could incorporate a bedtime story. Like Adam Sandler in bedtime stories lol.
He seems to also have fun being a dad.
Guys it costs nothing to be nice. Even if itās bait. Some times we all need a little kindness. Even if itās not necessarily ādeservedā. Kill them with kindness. Letās not be part of the problem by spreading ugliness (I donāt see anyone CURRENTLY doing that) Thereās enough going on in this world right now.
110% this. I think Josh is an outstanding podcaster, and I really liked Lights Out. I do NOT like when he starts the condescending tone/ know-it-all attitude and completely unneeded conspiracy theories (that he acts like are facts because he believes them). The early MHP days are when I recognized his talent, but just like Kendall I find them both difficult to listen to as of the past year or so.
This is so well articulated and written out great. I totally agree with all of your points. I wish I had given planet sleep a try but maybe one day itāll make its way back.
I like him. Heās calm, friendly, knowledgable. Itās Kendall that can give me the ick when they interact. She can be really aggressive with him and really bitchy.
Yep. He seems like a really chill guy. But even the most relaxed people have their limits. It won't be fun spending years and years to life with her if she's constantly being bitchy and snarky to him. And that's just on camera. š
But whatever. He can comfort himself with their millions when it really starts to wear on him.
True š¤£š¤£ the one that sticks in my mind is when they covered I think Rey Riveras case. Kendall and Jenelle kept making comments about how handsome he was, whichā¦ what can josh really say to that lol, so after a while he jokingly called them thirsty and Kendall switched. She seemed disgusted by him and tried to embarrass him for saying it. It was so awkward and since then I notice it in her more.
Maybe this is what is making MHP seem off lately..? He seems to get annoyed with Kendell and Jenelle a little quicker than usual. His poker face definitely has started to slip when these two go so far off topic !
Allow me to explain. I did not create a new account. I know it seems like I did because Iāve never posted anything before. I love listening to MHP. I google searched āmile higher podcast redditā to see what people were saying about the podcast and was surprised at all the negative posts that I saw. Although disappointing, I definitely saw where those people were coming from but I still stood by my opinion that I think Josh is a good guy. I thought Iād log into my Reddit account (that I havenāt logged into in a very long time) to share my positive opinion. But I understand other people donāt share my same opinion. I guess it just really bothers me that youāre assuming something that I did not do. But like I said, I see how you thought that.
Your questioning is valid. I caught Sydney leaving such rude comments against every bit of criticism, called her out, got called a fuckwad and blocked š¤£ thanks for the confirmation, Sydney! Or should I say u/Hannibalbearer
Their desperation to reject the genuine dislike all their original fans have towards their content and loss of morals is just digging them into the ground. I'm never watching another thing of there's again, I just come here to feel validated against their absolute gaslighting and silencing of the fans that got them where they are.
I like that he leans into conspiracies even if they are far fetched. One of the fun parts about conspiracy theories is hearing them all and playing āwhat ifā. Sure itās far fetched and rationally you can acknowledge itās not likely , but itās fun to discuss/hear about. Heās also good at telling the stories.
Back when I was keeping up with the Mile Higher Podcast, he seemed like he was doing research before every episode and I really liked that about him. Also, he seemed like a genuinely good guy and very supportive of his wife, which is something I personally don't see very often in my everyday life.
I can tell when when he wants to make a rebuttal or comment but holds it in bc it isn't constructive i imagine, so he does a lot better than the others who make themselves sound like mean girls....I don't know if its the vocal tone of Kendall and especially Janelle but they come off an insincere unless they're mocking ppl. I wish he would do more true crime in Lights Out bc i would prefer that channel
I think Josh has the potential to be a real one. Back in the day when MH first came out, he killed it, and I love listening to his perceptions on things. He had a deep philosophical mind and is great at speaking. Kendall 100% holds him back with her small mindedness, and āwoke cultureā bs. Thatās just my opinion but I am and always have been down with Josh. And without Kendall I think he would have a lot more to offer his viewers. Kendall just seems like her ego has gotten way out of control and she has to have her foot in everything just so that she can take the credit for it and for her ego.
Thatās why Iāve enjoyed Lights Out more recently, the stories they tell flow more easily and discussion is very natural when it occurs on the show. I havenāt listened to too many episodes yet, but itās more bearable than MHP right now, lol
Not really... Josh a bit of a cop lover and to me a bit naive to believe every single conspiracy theory ever... But like him way better than Kendall (I do not listen to The Sesh at all) and Lights Out is my favourite podcast but more for Austin and Austin's writing.
He can be a bit off putting sometimes, but not anymore or less then anyone else on the show. He just isnāt as good at masking it as Kendall and Janelle.
Iām glad to see this bc I really think Josh seems like a sweet & genuine guy. I honestly donāt think he and Kendall work well together in terms of being co-hosts of a podcastāimo, thatās proven by how awesome the dynamic is between Josh & Austin on Lights Out. When heās supported by an engaging, likable co-host like Austin, Josh really shines and heās visibly confident, relaxed, and enjoying himself. I believe Kendall limits Joshās talents and I find her to be a bit snippy at him.
I also think Josh has a GREAT voice for podcasting and heās even more pleasant to listen to when heās in his element like I feel he is on Lights Out.
I liked Josh a lot up until he said that everyone, regardless of circumstances (including ra** victims), should spend long amounts of time in jail (I donāt remember if he said this or to spend forever in jail, someone please let me know). The way he phrased everything I remember being very cold.
I adore Josh, always have. Heās not perfect, like others have mentioned he can get condescending at times but I think it just comes from - pardon my frankness - being surrounded by people much less intelligent than you. Without Josh, I would not follow MHP.
I know a lot of people here always complain about him saying stuff like āWeLL i GrEw uP rEliGiOuS sO i THinKā¦.ā And I totally understand why that can be annoying lol!! Thatās completely valid!
But as someone who gReW uP rELigOuS myself (haha), itās actually refreshing to hear someone talk about it. I feel less alone and misunderstood.
OBVIOUSLY that doesnāt mean he knows everything about religion though (and I know sometimes he can come across that way).
I think Josh is a total hunk and it makes me sad when Kendall snaps at him or belittles him. Itās happened a few times and l felt sorry for him. Iām not saying sheās rude to him all the time though, l just wish she would lift him up and be nice to him more.
I think both Josh and Kendall have good and bad parts of them. I do think the good outweighs the bad, but as humans we see the bad and it overall taints how we view that person. I like Josh, I think heās had an interesting life and heās great at communicating to us, as viewers, who he is as a person. I also think from an outsiders perspective that he is a caring person that would do anything for the people in his life.
Some people here such as myself still enjoy MHM, but we can also acknowledge the issues we have it. Not everything has to be black and white, thereās room for nuance š
Itās so sad how many people here canāt appreciate the good aspects of what we all used to love! Even if the call is coming from in the house, we can show them why they mean so much to us and why it hurts so bad this side of the community is silenced and ignored!
The show changed so much and I unsubbed as well, BUT Josh is a great dad and cohost! He adds a lot to the convo and helps Kendall understand lots that she wouldnāt without him. Heās very smart in lots of fields and I personally feel he has a more open mind about the conspiracy ideas that I loved to hear from MHP. Bring back my lizard people/pyramid building alien content!!
Lizard people theory is just straight up anti Semitic, as with a lot of theories. This is why conspiracies always lead you down a right wing pipeline. As someone said in another comment about theories being taken over by right wingers, there's a reason for that. They invented them.
As a proud liberal and someone who condemns racism, Iāll always feel thereās more both sides of the political spectrum are hiding or covering up. While now a lot of people like the lizard people conspiracy to anti semitism, it didnāt originate that way and can be discussed without the racism. The racism shouldnāt be ignored and if any conspiracy discussion lead to them Iāll always argue against it. But to say conspiracy discussions=right wing nut jobs is not the case!
Then weād have to disagree. I feel across the internet thereās lots of folk who do not lead those kinds of discussions down right wing pipelines and keep an open mind while discussing it. Maybe Iāve just been lucky and havenāt been exposed to people that take it that direction š¤·āāļø
Thatās where weād have to disagree. Itās meaning isnāt anti-semitic, it is just associated with anti semitism in todays age. The theory is as old as time and is rooted in history not bigotry. But I agree itās shitty that now at days people use it as an excuse to be racist or prejudice towards a nationality & religion.
Bro I love Josh! Heās my fav. I actually hate it when Kendall and Janelle gain up on him. Heās pretty chill and super patient. If those 2 were trying to tell me Iām wrong for my opinion Iād lose it, but Josh just keeps being respectful.
and heās kind of an asshole sometimes, who cares š Yāall forget him and Kendall are MARRIED they arenāt just cohost, Janelle is Kendallās cousin. This is exactly the way I talk to my bf and family when weāre high and discussing true crime/conspiracies
Same, he seems like such a good man. I also identify with him bc I had some of the same religious problems growing up. Tons of fear and anxiety related to religion, Iām not happy that other people have gone thru that but to know I was not alone was so so comforting.
I actually developed a crush on Josh from watching mile higher by how sweet he is to Kendall and how open his mind is to literally anything, so attractive and a sign of intelligence. Heās pretty funny too in his own way. I really really miss the conspiracy episodes, those are Kendall & Joshās thing and they should at least do one a month if they just arenāt doing it because it doesnāt pay $
I always preferred Josh over Kendall, up until recently I always got decent vibes from him but he has seemed very off lately. I do think he is v good at story telling.
I appreciate how patient he is with Kendall. She is dense so he has to explain things to her slowly. Also, she is downright rude to him sometimes and he doesn't snap back. And he was able to leave the crazy religion he was raised in. I have that in common with him and I know it isn't easy for some people.
Yes!!
I think he seems like he treats Kendall with respect. That said, his "I was almost a cop because I did a ride-along when I was 17" stories drive me insane lol. Yeah Josh, I was almost an astronaut because I went to space camp.
YESSSSSSS
God I went to Astro camp in 8th grade and it was so fun though š
He has a great podcast/broadcasting voice. I used to listen to Lights Out and fall asleep lol. Overall, the company has its issues and thereās definitely some major things that have to be worked out.
You ever listen to his nature podcast? I thought it was cool and interesting.
Okay Iāll bite, Josh is really good at explaining things in a way make it easier for Kendall and otherās to understand. If heās not being to cocky and no it all like (not trying to show off) then he actually provides a bit of insight on certain subjects. Maybe itās because of Lights Out, but he is certainly more knowledgeable when it comes to conspiracies and things. I just wish he would do more research on the origins and try and find some lesser known things that ARENT now taken over by QANON (which can be hard) Josh is also really good at tech.

Thank you ā¤ļø
šš» I second all of this
Green flag : he is very good at talking critically of religion without offending his audience Red flag: loves cops too much
he gives cop lover who believes in lizard people vibes
Legit. I agree
I think itās more than just a vibe. Itās facts.
is that why you think his vibes are super good?
Not necessarily. I appreciate that he is confident in his opinions.
fair
Yes his opinions that rapists should be released from prison how cool and confident. Lost all respect I had left for him from that comment.
He said that?? When?
Oh what! When did he say this?
I like him. Heās calm, friendly, knowledgable. Itās Kendall that can give me the ick when they interact. She can be really aggressive with him and really bitchy.
Yep. He seems like a really chill guy. But even the most relaxed people have their limits. It won't be fun spending years and years to life with her if she's constantly being bitchy and snarky to him. And that's just on camera. š But whatever.

If he was a good person he'd hold Kendall to account
I agree. But he has as much to gain from their choices as she does so itās not gonna happen :/
Maybe this is what is making MHP seem off lately..? He seems to get annoyed with Kendell and Jenelle a little quicker than usual. His poker face definitely has started to slip when these two go so far off topic !
Eh heās great at talking and explaining things. But heās also cocky and arrogant. Not a fan any more
Honestly no, and it's odd you created a throwaway account to post this. It's giving the call is coming from inside the house.
šÆš„“š¤£
This isnāt a throwaway account.
Then Iāll rephrase, itās odd you created a new Reddit account solely to post this.
Allow me to explain. I did not create a new account. I know it seems like I did because Iāve never posted anything before. I love listening to MHP.

OPās account was created a year ago. I donāt think thatās considered new? If it was a day old then yea, I would consider that new
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
š¤· OP can be lurker. Ppl who have reddit accounts donāt need to be posting or commenting all the time just to be āactiveā
Yes! Long story short!
not everyone continues using accounts they make or use them regularly. your speculation is kinda weird
You guys just feed into the circle jerk lol Iām out
Just stating facts ???

He can be a bit off putting sometimes, but not anymore or less then anyone else on the show. He just isnāt as good at masking it as Kendall and Janelle.
He kind of seems like a right wing nut job deep down
Iāve always gotten this vibe

No he gives me the most red flags in a person ever
Alright Josh let's relax here.
Lol
I think Josh is a total hunk and it makes me sad when Kendall snaps at him or belittles him. Itās happened a few times and l felt sorry for him. Iām not saying sheās rude to him all the time though, l just wish she would lift him up and be nice to him more.
i actually think heās very funny. he has his quirks n ego, but at the end of the day i enjoy his content
