    This was seriously great. I love the fact that he's a really humble guy who just wanted to make something that would make his partner happy. The insane success didn't break or change him. He didn't try and milk it. Kept it pure. Bravo, Josh. Thanks to MKBHD for sharing his story.
  • @kaarteeek
    Respect to Josh for absolutely nailing typethealphabet in just one try. I'd have loved to see him try thrice. probably my best WVFRM guest ever (and I've been here since episode 1 smh).

    Whatever prescription drugs Andrew took right before the show, keep em’ coming! He was hilarious in the beginning with the mug and the film peel.
