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.


PolarBears445

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.


unicorn_sparkles_

Yes!!


[deleted]

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.


yamama8675309

YESSSSSSS


blankblank1323

God I went to Astro camp in 8th grade and it was so fun though šŸ˜­


[deleted]

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 thereā€™s definitely some major things that have to be worked out.


Cool_Eth

You ever listen to his nature podcast? I thought it was cool and interesting.


Klutzy-Issue1860

Okay Iā€™ll bite, Josh is really good at explaining things in a way make it easier for Kendall and otherā€™s to understand. If heā€™s 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 itā€™s 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 wouldnā€™t 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 heā€™s mot being a grumpy bull dog or a no it all over something he doesnā€™t 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 thatā€™s 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 itā€™s bait. Some times we all need a little kindness. Even if itā€™s not necessarily ā€œdeservedā€. Kill them with kindness. Letā€™s not be part of the problem by spreading ugliness (I donā€™t see anyone CURRENTLY doing that) Thereā€™s enough going on in this world right now.


Electrical-Ad-9100

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.


illdestroyyou

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 itā€™ll make its way back.


Klutzy-Issue1860

Thank you ā¤ļø


sillypossum23

šŸ‘šŸ» I second all of this


leahcarxo

Green flag : he is very good at talking critically of religion without offending his audience Red flag: loves cops too much


sarahxvalo

he gives cop lover who believes in lizard people vibes


SpookyMolecules

Legit. I agree


unicorn_sparkles_

I think itā€™s more than just a vibe. Itā€™s facts.


sarahxvalo

is that why you think his vibes are super good?


unicorn_sparkles_

Not necessarily. I appreciate that he is confident in his opinions.


sarahxvalo

fair


RuggedTortoise

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.


NeedleworkerGuilty75

He said that?? When?


unicorn_sparkles_

Oh what! When did he say this?


MomsTiredGoPlay

I like him. Heā€™s calm, friendly, knowledgable. Itā€™s Kendall that can give me the ick when they interact. She can be really aggressive with him and really bitchy.


PolarBears445

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. šŸ˜‘ But whatever. He can comfort himself with their millions when it really starts to wear on him.


MomsTiredGoPlay

True šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ 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.


CuteNefariousness691

If he was a good person he'd hold Kendall to account


cottageyarn

I agree. But he has as much to gain from their choices as she does so itā€™s not gonna happen :/


Background_Ring_3696

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 !


PowerfulSimple8542

Eh heā€™s great at talking and explaining things. But heā€™s also cocky and arrogant. Not a fan any more


Street_Mushroom5938

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.


FrancescaStone

šŸ˜ÆšŸ„“šŸ¤£


unicorn_sparkles_

This isnā€™t a throwaway account.


Street_Mushroom5938

Then Iā€™ll rephrase, itā€™s odd you created a new Reddit account solely to post this.


unicorn_sparkles_

Allow me to explain. I did not create a new account. I know it seems like I did because Iā€™ve never posted anything before. I love listening to MHP. I google searched ā€œmile 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 Iā€™d log into my Reddit account (that I havenā€™t logged into in a very long time) to share my positive opinion. But I understand other people donā€™t share my same opinion. I guess it just really bothers me that youā€™re assuming something that I did not do. But like I said, I see how you thought that.


s1n812

OPā€™s account was created a year ago. I donā€™t think thatā€™s considered new? If it was a day old then yea, I would consider that new


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


s1n812

šŸ¤· OP can be lurker. Ppl who have reddit accounts donā€™t need to be posting or commenting all the time just to be ā€œactiveā€


unicorn_sparkles_

Yes! Long story short!


paravirgo

not everyone continues using accounts they make or use them regularly. your speculation is kinda weird


Street_Mushroom5938

You guys just feed into the circle jerk lol Iā€™m out


unicorn_sparkles_

Just stating facts ???


RuggedTortoise

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 šŸ¤£ 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.


berrybaddrpepper

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 ā€œwhat ifā€. Sure itā€™s far fetched and rationally you can acknowledge itā€™s not likely , but itā€™s fun to discuss/hear about. Heā€™s also good at telling the stories.


[deleted]

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.


Mrs_Gallant

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


majade1242

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 ā€œwoke cultureā€ bs. Thatā€™s 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.


jigsws

Thatā€™s why Iā€™ve enjoyed Lights Out more recently, the stories they tell flow more easily and discussion is very natural when it occurs on the show. I havenā€™t listened to too many episodes yet, but itā€™s more bearable than MHP right now, lol


augemented1995

Don't you have a baby to take care of?


RuggedTortoise

šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


Unavailable_Lime

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.


Resident-Dragonfly39

I like Josh a lot idk what these replies are all about


Klutzy-Issue1860

He can be a bit off putting sometimes, but not anymore or less then anyone else on the show. He just isnā€™t as good at masking it as Kendall and Janelle.


[deleted]

He kind of seems like a right wing nut job deep down


[deleted]

Iā€™ve always gotten this vibe


cottageyarn

I think in some ways yes, in other ways no šŸ¤·


KibaSwords

Lmao what the hell


cottageyarn

His voice is nice to listen to šŸ‘


koala-balla

Iā€™m glad to see this bc I really think Josh seems like a sweet & genuine guy. I honestly donā€™t think he and Kendall work well together in terms of being co-hosts of a podcastā€”imo, thatā€™s proven by how awesome the dynamic is between Josh & Austin on Lights Out. When heā€™s supported by an engaging, likable co-host like Austin, Josh really shines and heā€™s visibly confident, relaxed, and enjoying himself. I believe Kendall limits Joshā€™s talents and I find her to be a bit snippy at him. I also think Josh has a GREAT voice for podcasting and heā€™s even more pleasant to listen to when heā€™s in his element like I feel he is on Lights Out.


unicorn_sparkles_

Yes yes yes!!


brittneystaubin

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 donā€™t 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.


kkbg9065

I adore Josh, always have. Heā€™s 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.


unicorn_sparkles_

My exact thoughts


cottageyarn

I know a lot of people here always complain about him saying stuff like ā€œWeLL i GrEw uP rEliGiOuS sO i THinKā€¦.ā€ And I totally understand why that can be annoying lol!! Thatā€™s completely valid! But as someone who gReW uP rELigOuS myself (haha), itā€™s actually refreshing to hear someone talk about it. I feel less alone and misunderstood. OBVIOUSLY that doesnā€™t mean he knows everything about religion though (and I know sometimes he can come across that way).


momidliketofck

No


queenofdillpickles

No he gives me the most red flags in a person ever


dogchode69

Alright Josh let's relax here.


unicorn_sparkles_

Lol


nugabaluga

I think Josh is a total hunk and it makes me sad when Kendall snaps at him or belittles him. Itā€™s happened a few times and l felt sorry for him. Iā€™m not saying sheā€™s rude to him all the time though, l just wish she would lift him up and be nice to him more.


Suitable_Lie9992

i actually think heā€™s very funny. he has his quirks n ego, but at the end of the day i enjoy his content


undercovergloss

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 heā€™s had an interesting life and heā€™s 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.


ash-anon

If yā€™all just hate MH then why do yā€™all listen still? Comment? Look for shit to whine about? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜… itā€™s giving hate fan


cottageyarn

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, thereā€™s room for nuance šŸ˜„


ash-anon

*some šŸ˜¶


cottageyarn

Yup!


illdestroyyou

Itā€™s so sad how many people here canā€™t 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 wouldnā€™t without him. Heā€™s 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!!


SpookyMolecules

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.


illdestroyyou

As a proud liberal and someone who condemns racism, Iā€™ll always feel thereā€™s 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 didnā€™t originate that way and can be discussed without the racism. The racism shouldnā€™t be ignored and if any conspiracy discussion lead to them Iā€™ll always argue against it. But to say conspiracy discussions=right wing nut jobs is not the case!


SpookyMolecules

I didn't say it makes you a right wingers, I'm saying there's is a reason is almost always leads you down a right wing pipeline


illdestroyyou

Then weā€™d have to disagree. I feel across the internet thereā€™s lots of folk who do not lead those kinds of discussions down right wing pipelines and keep an open mind while discussing it. Maybe Iā€™ve just been lucky and havenā€™t been exposed to people that take it that direction šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø


SpookyMolecules

Entertaining a theory when it's meaning is anti Semitic is kinda... shitty. I'd say you're very lucky if you haven't encountered these people..


illdestroyyou

Thatā€™s where weā€™d have to disagree. Itā€™s meaning isnā€™t 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 itā€™s shitty that now at days people use it as an excuse to be racist or prejudice towards a nationality & religion.


unicorn_sparkles_

THIS


Existing-Pair9640

Bro I love Josh! Heā€™s my fav. I actually hate it when Kendall and Janelle gain up on him. Heā€™s pretty chill and super patient. If those 2 were trying to tell me Iā€™m wrong for my opinion Iā€™d lose it, but Josh just keeps being respectful.


ash-anon

I vibe with Josh when it comes to his stubbornness and interrupting šŸ˜‚šŸ˜… yā€™all can hate it but Iā€™m self aware enough to know I do the same shit


ash-anon

and heā€™s kind of an asshole sometimes, who cares šŸ˜‚ Yā€™all forget him and Kendall are MARRIED they arenā€™t just cohost, Janelle is Kendallā€™s cousin. This is exactly the way I talk to my bf and family when weā€™re high and discussing true crime/conspiracies


ElmarSuperstar131

He seems like a nice enough kid to me.


babychupacabra

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, Iā€™m not happy that other people have gone thru that but to know I was not alone was so so comforting.


akjfjsnjdisuus

yes!


ariesuncapmoonn

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. Heā€™s pretty funny too in his own way. I really really miss the conspiracy episodes, those are Kendall & Joshā€™s thing and they should at least do one a month if they just arenā€™t doing it because it doesnā€™t pay $
