1.7.15 Reddit Q&A

1/9/2015

Text transcript from Michelle (edited by Amanda) from Josh's Reddit Q&A:

from JediJav91 "What was the most creepiest thing you experienced on Destination Truth beside the creepy ass doll island?" Josh -"Spending the night at Chernobyl is probably top of the list. Worst. Idea. Ever."
from Krustic13 "In Expedition Unknown will we see working cars, airplanes, and boats? Part of me hopes not. It was part of the magic in DT." Josh - "I can personally assure you that the global fleet of craptastic vehicles will continue in Expedition Unknown."
from Angermoen "Destination Truth had a lot of humorous moments but what's one time that you were really, truly scared?" Josh - "Every time Ryder rented me a car."
from Ednemo13 "I loved your book and laughed out loud about "Whore Dice". As I was in the hospital at the time, my wife got the honor of reading this to me while I was horizontal. My question is: Did you do all the writing in the book? (Which was very funny and well done). And Do you have any plans for another book?" Josh - "I did write the book! Every word....Unless you hated it, in which case, it was ghost written by M Night Shyamalan. It turns out that when you're trying to write a book, it's easy to spend a lot of time procrastinating on the internet. Like. A lot of time. I've seen every YouTube video. All of them. ALL OF THEM. My girlfriend had to drive me all the way from Los Angeles to Santa Fe and back while I typed on my laptop just to finish the first draft."
from Jemmani "What is the worst thing you have eaten? And what is the worst? Thanks for all the good work, you entertain and educate in a great way!" Josh - "Balut. It’s…well…it’s the grossest food on earth. Don’t believe me? Ok. Here’s the menu description. It’s an overdeveloped duck egg that’s boiled and eaten in it’s shell. It’s like eating an egg, but inside, there’s feathers…soft bones…a beak. A BEAK. Hide your kids. Brace yourself (link to image of Balut provided by Josh) It’s the only food I’ve ever eaten on camera that I then immediately threw up."
from Andytheg "I loved Destination Truth and thanks to Hulu+ I was able to watch every single episode so I can't wait for Expedition Unknown! What was the most meaningful expedition you had on Destination Truth, the one that you still think back on most fondly or maybe with the most fear?" Josh - "For me, the most meaningful was probably our trip to remote corners of Antarctica. It was like going to the moon - something I never dreamed I'd have the opportunity to do and one of the most jaw-droppingly beautiful places on earth. Magnificent desolation."
from Wafflesnsyrup "How can I get a job like yours? Also: swoon." Josh - "There aren't a lot of openings for "Professional Mystery and Monster Hunter and part-time Ghostologist," but the fact is, I got my job by becoming passionate about travel. Get a passport and get out there. Travel always leads to totally unexpected friendships, experiences, and connections. Opportunities for employment will follow. Trust me."
from Beckettfan03 "Hi Josh!! Can't wait for the new show! Me and my dad will be watching!! Here's a few questions!! I've investigated many places and my top 2 are waverly hills and Sloss furnace. Have you done any "truthing" at those places and did you find anything? I've asked you this in person but you were very vague... Did you get the analysis back to know if that was a unicorn or not? I've experienced a lot of activity on a case once and it has stuck with me ever since. Any case that has truly stayed with you? Any chance on a return trip to the island of the dolls? Thanks for doing this!! Hope to meet up with you again soon!!" Josh - "We're looking at 100% unicorn."
from Pronouncedspenco "Josh, when is the next time you'll be in or around Maryland, or D.C.? Definitely hoping to get an autograph. Also, if you were a yogurt, would you be fruit on the bottom, or stirred?" Josh - Going to be in D.C. for the Travel & Adventure Show on March 7th. Hope to see you there! (link to events Josh will be at) And....stirred?
Minerva8918 "I didn't know this was a thing! I'll be there! Thanks for the heads up!" Josh "Thanks! You'll recognize me because I will open by asking you that question again, and by my kind eyes."
HandofGod02 "Nice Bio-Dome ref lol" Josh "Yes! Hoping someone would get it."
RustyDarkstar76 "What's up with bigfoot? Can we actually get down to a real hunt for him, using tech and dogs?" Josh "What IS up with bigfoot? Seriously.
Phazeiserotic "How crazy was it getting spooked in Antarctica? And what do you think of those crazy Bigfooters who are about to launch a blimp over the wilderness to find the beast?" Josh "Bliiiimp. Why didn't I think of that? Come on, Gates. Get in the game."
PSlimitation "Have you ever explored the illuminati?" Josh "(*shuts drapes...rips phone cord out of the wall) What a weird question. The Illuminati aren't a thing. They aren't listening. They aren't everywhere. So. Let's all just cool out. Because, again, the Illuminati aren't a thing."
Rabid_chocobo "I'll be the first one to ask - Would you rather fight a Horse-sized duck, or 100 Duck-sized horses? Please answer this, it is important to Reddit." Josh "100 duck sized horses. All day long. Period. End of story."

on January 4th, Josh was on a podcast Coast to Coast AM. Michelle was kind enough to do a transcript:

Notes from Coast to Coast AM - 1/4/2015 1 a.m. to 2 a.m.

There will be 12 episodes
Lost City in the Jungle of Cambodia
Mayan underworld in Mexico
World's Most Valuable Art Work (WWII)
Captain Morgan's Lost Flag Ship near Panama

[Paraphrased Q & A]

Will - Johnson City, TN: Curious about the Island of the Dolls- what was your feeling on the paranormal part of the Doll Island? Josh-Mike the sound guy came totally unglued. Heard a noise, though he saw something, went bananas and broke equipment on his way out of the shed in his flight response. Really creepy things were happening there.
Kevin - Bellingham, WA: Any developments on the Ark of the Covenant? Josh-Something we looked into, part of the problem is there are a lot of dead ends with stone doors in front of them. We have no access to these places. Not enough on the story. We don't want to rehash what people did before. Maybe in the future we can look at it.
On the differences between EU and DT: Josh- At it's core, it's about adventures. Every story is just really cool. Sometimes they have a dark edge to them and that makes them more interesting. I'm like a kid in a candy store.
Q- Are you focusing on more historical mysteries? Josh- yes we are. The frustrating thing about DT was forcing half hour content. You'll learn more about the back story of a legend or mystery
Q- Any past compatriots on EU? Josh- On folks from DT, it has been asked a lot. Like Ryder who is my girl Friday, we'd love to have it happen in the future. So stay tuned!
Hunter- from SC: What destinations will you be going to this year? Josh- Viking Sunstone. Vikings were great at navigation and the legendary Sunstone helped them do that. We'll be going to Norway to investigate. Also traveling to Myanmar (Burma). We're looking for a massive golden bell that was stolen from a Pagoda in a river.
Coleen- Rockland CA: Have you kept up with the Lagina brothers with their Oak Island pit? Josh- With a show devoted to it, I will keep following it, but we won't be delving into it ourselves.

Thanks Michelle!
