Over time the cravings will go away, it may be difficult at first but if you power through you start to realize you can live sober and it will become effortless.
I drank while watching this and I hate that I abuse alcohol. I don't drink everyday and I don't feel sick when I don't drink but I hate how my mind races when I'm sober. I need to like myself better. I'm not a bad guy, I don't know.
@@sean-ew2qv the alcoholic mind is always looking for reasons to drink, you're feeling anxious, you're feeling depressed, stressed, hopeless, whatever it is your going to stay in those feelings to help keep you drinking. If you want to get sober and deal with your feelings, insecurity, trauma, whatever it may be your mind is going to do everything it can to talk you into drinking especially during the first weeks but if you keep yourself busy with other things, force yourself to deal with any problems you may have, eventually you'll start to feel confident that you can leave the booze behind, and with the strength your mind will stop being as negative or hard on yourself bc it's not going to work like it used to to lead you to drinking, you'll just start feeling better and being able to enjoy life naturally.
This is becoming one of the best podcast around right now. It’s soo thoughtful. Ted & Woody are great at making the atmosphere relaxed and it enables a feeling of trust within the room. It allows the guest to open up without being prodded and poked, and it’s just so good to both watch and listen. Every episode is genuine. Love it.
These 3 human beings have been in roles where after the movie/series is over, a depression sets in to the viewer. I never thought how much harder that would be as an actor who has to part from their ‘family’ after filming ends. Thank you all for the stories you help tell 🙏🏼. Good to see Woody again, this podcast has me watching Cheers every night before I go to bed lately as a form of comfort viewing ❤
Have to admit wasn't too sure how often I'd watch this show, but it has quickly turned into one of my youtube highlights. And this episode is a particular favourite- needs a part2!
These two (Ted and Woody) have become my favorite interview podcast. They never talk over their guests like the majority of celebrity interviewers do. (Yeah, talking to you Conan). Great interview with Josh.
Conan is a comedian, first and foremost, if there's a joke in something, he will find it and make it. Conan doesn't talk over very serious sections of the interview
At last. Truth and real honesty in a natural ,respectful conversation with real 'well known' people .Devoid of showbiz wanna be comedic hosts. No filters or ego ,total respect, love and courtesy for each other. Yet able to be open with personal questions and share. Packed with wisdom and humour. Pure gold thanks.
I was a social drinker it had its ups and downs. When my brother passed, I quit. I've been sober now and drug free for almost 10 years, and considering some disabilities have more control over my life than I have ever had. My property is paid off. My car is paid off. im not wealthy, but I am debt free by the grace of God.
The fact that Josh brought up Jason Sears and Rich Kids on LSD made me practically leap out of my chair. Dude is a real one who never forgot his humble beginning
What a life Josh has had. His mother sounds fierce, Great guy, actor, writer, father, human Being Josh Brolin is. Thank you Ted and Woody, Team Coco . Love you for putting these pods out here on the YT.
Did you know he once beat his wife because he was mad he didn’t get a part? How do you deem that guy a ‘great human being’? Given EVERY advantage in life and he still beats women when he gets upset.
@@DABA2024yeah I don’t agree with his great comment nor yours that sounds like you’re saying he’s terrible. He’s human and makes mistakes and bad decisions. It’s about moving forward and not making them same poor decisions
@@DABA2024why would you say he beat her like it was a fact ... it was a misunderstanding and Diane lane said herself she didn't want him arrested but the officers arrested him anyway . Google is free plus that was 2004 they stayed married until 2013
There are a few actors i really love listening to (when they talk in interviews, podcasts, etc ) , josh is pne of them. He's very expressive and articulate.
I agree,I pulled up a seat while I really wanted to get my own Carbonated Water !Wonderfully Funny. Even when I was not laughing I was smiling the entire time. 🙌❤️
Great interview! I can’t imagine there are two more comfortable in their skin dudes in Hollywood than Josh and Woody. And Ted has always been a really likeable actor/guy too.
There's no way Wahlberg could have pulled off being a young Tommy Lee Jones in Men in Black III. Josh Brolin did it perfectly. So good I actually thought it was some sort of AI CGI with his face and voice....
@@ecorona9552 I know right haha 🤣 ... I actually forgot to put the word "any" in front of Wahlberg because you're right, it doesn't matter. None of them could have pulled it off as good as Josh Brolin did...
@@peezdocJosh Brolin in men in black 3 was my first movie seeing him in and I thought he was so great at that character because I loved men in black growing up. I saw 1 in theaters around my birthday, which was kind of a tradition (we saw inspector gadget and wild wild west because they came out ON MY BIRTHDAY but different years. My dad and I went and saw x2: xmen united because nobody else wanted to and our birthdays are literally two days apart.) Everything about Brolin playing that character was perfect. Wahlberg, although I think he plays a great mark Walberg like character, could never pull that off. I even think he was too mark Wahlberg to play Sullivan from uncharted. Josh Brolin would have been a better Sullivan, especially with the mustache, which I KNOW he could grow.
I LOVE how he talks about how his mother was an animal rescuer. I love that SOOO much. She was such a fine person. I rescue animals but what SHE did was so important and so HUGE.
Thanos was a well written character.. But Josh’s voice is clearly why Thanos is such a great villain/character to watch again and again!! This was a great conversation!!
I’ve just found this podcast while searching old Conan episodes. Damn, do I have a LOT of content to catch up on. Ted and Woody, along either Conan, are some of my favorite humans on the earth. Thank you!
His mom is from my hometown. She fascinates me because I've lived here my whole life, and I've never met someone with that kind of energy and personality. Farah Faucet, Selena, and Eva Longoria are also from here, but I would have loved to have met her. Sounds like an amazing person from other stories I have heard Josh tell.
This podcast was extremely entertaining , Josh Brolin , is an incredible story teller … Ted , and Woody , didn’t interrupt and listened with real feeling …
Loved this so much. Love the intimacy and Ron is and joy and acknowledgment of the good and the bad. Just fantastic man. I currently live in Rochester, New York and it was wonderful to hear a connection and I had to look up Anthony and I really wish I was able to appreciate and see the theater during that time
I knew Josh's older children in Colorado Springs in a babysitting coop so I remember Eden as a baby that was a lovely part of my 5 years in Colorado Springs and I think I did not see Josh in a film for awhile but Milk was brilliant for one. Well done staying sober!
Quick story. Ted and Josh’s dad James made an early 80’s, made for TV movie for NBC called Cowboy. It was filmed in my hometown of Maypearl Texas (about 30-40 miles southwest of Dallas) population at the time was a whole 460 people. I was about 9-10 years old and remember it well. Had some star players in it, Randy Quaid, Annie Potts amongst a few other smaller names. I just remember it was so cool seeing these people in town. Several scenes were shot with our property in the background. It was a popular filming location as other movies were filmed there over the years. A version of “Of Mice and Men”, “Ellie”, and “Pure Country” with George Strait and Susan Sarandon. It was a popular little county. Good times.
Josh is definitely a dream uncle, like if I had my pick of anyone, I would pick him to be my uncle. Not only was he in the goonies which I watched religiously as a kid, everything I’ve seen him in since he has perfectly blended in to the point I don’t realize it him till it’s over. I love him!!
@@DABA2024 which is why you don’t idolize individuals, I haven’t heard of that accusation, but if it’s true I am extremely disappointed and disgusted in him. I guess I should clarify that I love the persona he has presented, but if he did what you said, then I love the persona and hate the person.
@@FlubberGamer @DABA2024 Yeah, I feel sorry for Diane Lane. Apparently he treated her badly after she helped boost his career... and since then his career has blossomed while Diane Lane has been forgotten. A truly unjust shame.
Wow, what a great conversation. I've always liked his work, but I've never heard him in a long form conversation like this. He's a great storyteller with what comes across as a genuine openness. I loved the story where his mom had the guy go into the cage to feed the lion. And the story where Ted's wife Mary pranked Josh by having his pants taken in a little bit at a time so that he would think he was gaining weight was also great. I had read somewhere that George Clooney had done the same prank to Matt Damon on a movie they were working on. It's a great prank.
What a fantastic 6° to Kevin Bacon. Woody, Ted and Josh. Cheers and No Country For Old Men. This is a f’n amazingly mix. Absolutely love all three of these dudes. Podcast perfection.
I’ve often thought about the intimacy between the actors in making movies/plays, and how cool it would be. It’s a bit envious I must say. It seems to be unique to that profession. But, alas, I became a counselor. A much different setting, whereas it wasn’t ethical to get close with your clients. That could be difficult, especially when you clicked with someone. Such a great conversation-thanks guys. Blessings. ✌️
The mention of Anthony Zerbe. I love Anthony Zerbe. But because he pops up on old westerns like Gunsmoke. Not familiar with much of his work, but everything I read about him tells me he's respected in the business.
There are people that have not had the pleasure and pain of growing up with true characters. Listening to Josh makes me glad there were others beside the unique weirdos I came up with.
Seven years sober and the only times that I've even thought about having a drink was after some stressful interactions with my parents. I do miss the tacticle quality of a cold beer after a hard day at work. But not the drink itself... just the fact that somehow a cold beer *seems* colder than a cold soda or other drink. Or maybe it really is colder? Maybe a beer cooler can be set to a lower temp without freezing the contents? So if the drink companies can figure out some kind of drinkable antifreeze, that would be great! 😂
In this interview, Josh Brolin is a philosopher. He talks implicitly of being enlightened, and this only comes from experience and maybe more specifically one who has led a phenomenological approach to life. At 18min and 42 seconds, he mentions that the first half of his life (45 years) was lived one way (e.g., risky, not sober), and he says of this new path of his life is like a second life. Although often attributed to Confucius but not found in his writings, the quote "We have two lives, and the second begins when we realize we only have one" has real roots in the philosophies of Jean-Paul Sartre or Albert Camus who explored themes of life’s meaning, the inevitability of death, and the importance of living authentically. Josh sounds like an avid reader and writer of philosophy. In his movies, a great actor! In real life and socially, I bet one feels enlightened having spent time with him. Great interview, Ted and Woody!
Those same feelings come up for everybody in life. Name a scenario with a colleague, or friend or a group of people thrown together out of necessity even, from 10 or 50 years ago. Comes a time we want to re-live those times. Often we never get the chance.
Josh you need to write and create a limited series about growing up with your mom. Your adventures and how you could love a toxic personality. It doesn't mean the person is bad although they certainly can be.
😄😄😄 Josh is A LOT; definitely his mother's son (according to what he himself has said), but it's absolutely delightful. He's the most fascinating dude: funny as hell, tells absolutely ELITE stories. I don't sense pretense at all, and that's saying a lot for someone who grew up in the shadow of Hollywood. He and I would get along...FAMOUSLY? (pun intended? 🤔) I'd more than likely have to take calculated breaks away from this crackling, lightning storm of a person, but I'd always return, because I HUNGER for this type of authenticity but my introvert brain would be like, "PHEW! 🫨😵💫🫨😮💨" Lol! Great interview, Ted & Woody! 👌🏾
The story about your mom having a condition where she just laughs hysterically at inappropriate times is something I totally understand. I have that same condition, I’ve laughed when people fall or get hurt, inappropriate but I can’t help it.
Who would've thunk, That catchy phrase in the Cheers theme would've lead to this. I never thought a lot about Ted. None of his roles ever made an impact on me. Though I'd seen much of his work. I gotta say this is a good thing. Woody elevates it.
Wow, really substantial fare this week from all 3. I get it, woody isn't the weekly, punch a clock kinda guy, neither am I, but the show really gets a lot of soul when he and Ted are in it together.
I had an experience with a bear in Colorado. It was an experience like what Josh Brolin was describing. It was close, and I was in its territory, but I survived because I knew how to make eye contact without too much as to appear threatening, but not so little as to seem like a cartoon caricature of a steaming chicken ready to be devoured! LOL! I packed my tent, and that bear was about 25 feet away from me just watching me, He followed me maintaining that same distance all the way down a mountain at a walk for about two miles. I looked back occasionally, and it was there following me. When I reached the river, I looked back, and it was gone. It was just escorting me out of its territory. :)
@jmirig2612 - My mother and Josh's mother, Jane, were very close. Privately, she was very outspoken, smart, quick-witted, and funny as hell. And stories, forget about it! As far as Hollywood, she appeared to know where all the bodies were buried. I enjoyed every moment I spent with Jane and respected her very much. Everyone close to her was deeply affected by her tragic death. I think about her all the time and of course, she would be beaming with pride over Josh and the actor and father he has become.
I don't think Wahlberg would have been nearly as good as Brolin in MIB 3. Brolin has a certain vulnerability and more layers than Mark does. I'm a fan of both tho. Josh talking about his mom is so funny. Great talk fellas!
how they talked about movies or tv shows. being so close for a short time , like on a movie maybe 1 to 3 months and really bonding hard and sharing those emotional moments on sets and in the trailers. then being on a sitcom for however long its lasts. BEST of friends.. or well..lets be honest. some humans don't get along. but it reminds of of all of us really. I mean acting is the only profession which we all watch.. we all watch these guys work. sports players and actors, or musicians. but actors every week on TV you know. but its also the same for us. got that job at that company back in the day and you had a blast with those co workers and lost touch. or you went away to college and made those friends for 4 years... or you went to live over there for 2 years and were super close to that person.. then GONE!!! lost touch... and 20 years later you run into that person... yeah... life is cool... JOSH cracks me up with meeting the EX.. I am like that too.. " wow hows it going? how have you been?" LOL my friends think I am crazy for wanting to remain friends with my exes LOL...
Being someone who drinks a lot, hearing josh brolin being so sure about not interested in drinking anymore… it’s very encouraging…
Over time the cravings will go away, it may be difficult at first but if you power through you start to realize you can live sober and it will become effortless.

It's the sugar. Start replacing it with those Natures drinks like Mango Tango. ITS THE SUGAR.
He has to say that. He is a known wife-beater w a free pass because ‘alcohol’.
Josh has one of the coolest voices.
all I think about when I hear him speak is Thanos lol
It's a No Country For Old Men reunion!!!! One of the best films of all time. Woody and Josh were beyond fantastic on screen together. So compelling
100% agreed

It blows my mind that Marky mark is a successful actor

Zerbe. As T.Spoon Hunter was amazing, and the fact that they are best friends, fills my heart with joy. Young Riders was epic
Knew him from my youth. Centenial mini series. Popped up in American Hustle

What a great interview..... the last time I saw Josh was in the Goonies where he was 17 yr old. Wow what an eye opener.
Such a great episode!
What a great conversation, all 3 of them are great people
It is like army buddies . Long life friends that see each other every 10 years maybe.

Team Coco is rocking it with putting together and affording these podcasts. :)
Coco is a class act.
Josh is one of the modern greats, for sure. Such a dude.
Love that Josh and Woody reunited! Can't believe, they haven't seen each other since the Oscars.
There are people that have not had the pleasure and pain of growing up with true characters. Listening to Josh makes me glad there were others beside the unique weirdos I came up with.
Hope they continue their friendship by hanging out more ... thoroughly enjoyed them 👏 ☺️💟
Truly enjoyed this conversation very very much.
Close your eyes and you can listen to Thanos speaking 😂

Seven years sober and the only times that I've even thought about having a drink was after some stressful interactions with my parents. I do miss the tacticle quality of a cold beer after a hard day at work. But not the drink itself... just the fact that somehow a cold beer *seems* colder than a cold soda or other drink.

What a great personality. I can relate to his remark towards to end about always being happy to meet old friends, even when inappropriate. 😆
I Almost forget about all the great episodes of Cheers with Ted and Woody It seems like a lifetime ago.
It is. I remember my brothers friend telling us about it & we decided to watch it outside on a portable B&W on our patio one summer 😂

This was a super emotional episode, so lovely to see all the love here.
Only the Brave is one of my favorite Brolin movies.
Those same feelings come up for everybody in life. Name a scenario with a colleague, or friend or a group of people thrown together out of necessity even, from 10 or 50 years ago. Comes a time we want to re-live those times.
Often we never get the chance.
The Young Riders, i was such a big fan of Josh playing James Hickok.
Very fun interview!
JB is one of those guys who seems like he would be a blast to hang out with, him and Jeff Bridges would be on the top of my list to have dinner with.
Unless you’re Diane Cannon.
No Country for Old Men is one of the greatest films of all time!!!
I just realized: I Love Laughing !
(G'all Darn-it these are good pieces!)
Love how he pronounces Toronto the way Canadians do or Ontarians
Josh you need to write and create a limited series about growing up with your mom. Your adventures and how you could love a toxic personality. It doesn't mean the person is bad although they certainly can be.
😄😄😄 Josh is A LOT; definitely his mother's son (according to what he himself has said), but it's absolutely delightful. He's the most fascinating dude: funny as hell, tells absolutely ELITE stories. I don't sense pretense at all, and that's saying a lot for someone who grew up in the shadow of Hollywood.
He and I would get along...FAMOUSLY? (pun intended? 🤔) I'd more than likely have to take calculated breaks away from this crackling, lightning storm of a person, but I'd always return, because I HUNGER for this type of authenticity but my introvert brain would be like, "PHEW! 🫨😵💫🫨😮💨" Lol!
Great interview, Ted & Woody! 👌🏾
The story about your mom having a condition where she just laughs hysterically at inappropriate times is something I totally understand. I have that same condition, I’ve laughed when people fall or get hurt, inappropriate but I can’t help it.
Love this too and no way could Mark W be a young Tommy Lee. Brolin got Jones gruff down ❤
Three brilliant gentlemen, hilarious ❤
Young Riders was a fantastic show!
Thanks
Love this podcast wow
That was awesome!
This made me a Josh Brolin fan
With all due respect Josh Brolin is one FINEEEEE man 😍
Great Interview
Two of my favorites actors on a talk show. Brolin and Harrelson. I must say that they represent my ideals of a man.... 😍🤩🤪🥰
Who would've thunk, That catchy phrase in the Cheers theme would've lead to this. I never thought a lot about Ted. None of his roles ever made an impact on me. Though I'd seen much of his work. I gotta say this is a good thing. Woody elevates it.
Wow, really substantial fare this week from all 3. I get it, woody isn't the weekly, punch a clock kinda guy, neither am I, but the show really gets a lot of soul when he and Ted are in it together.
5yrs sober and even my worse days I don’t think about a drink. 18:59 I feel
Hey Ted, get your own channel!!!
I agree but it's also nice that the guys of team Coco are working close together, like a family.
Love these guys
Love this podcast ts like watching cheers reunion everytime lol
Love these guys. People, lives. Interesting.
What an engaging podcast this is!
I had an experience with a bear in Colorado. It was an experience like what Josh Brolin was describing. It was close, and I was in its territory, but I survived because I knew how to make eye contact without too much as to appear threatening, but not so little as to seem like a cartoon caricature of a steaming chicken ready to be devoured! LOL! I packed my tent, and that bear was about 25 feet away from me just watching me, He followed me maintaining that same distance all the way down a mountain at a walk for about two miles. I looked back occasionally, and it was there following me. When I reached the river, I looked back, and it was gone. It was just escorting me out of its territory. :)
ROUND is a shape!!!😂😂😂
Josh is cool as hell man. 😊
This was amazing.
Josh’s mom sounds like she was a whole lotta fun!!
@jmirig2612 -
My mother and Josh's mother, Jane, were very close. Privately, she was very outspoken, smart, quick-witted, and funny as hell.
And stories, forget about it!
As far as Hollywood, she appeared to know where all the bodies were buried.
I enjoyed every moment I spent with Jane and respected her very much.
Everyone close to her was deeply affected by her tragic death. I think about her all the time and of course, she would be beaming with pride over Josh and the actor and father he has become.
Love Josh!
I don't think Wahlberg would have been nearly as good as Brolin in MIB 3. Brolin has a certain vulnerability and more layers than Mark does. I'm a fan of both tho.
Josh talking about his mom is so funny. Great talk fellas!
how they talked about movies or tv shows. being so close for a short time , like on a movie maybe 1 to 3 months and really bonding hard and sharing those emotional moments on sets and in the trailers. then being on a sitcom for however long its lasts. BEST of friends.. or well..lets be honest. some humans don't get along. but it reminds of of all of us really.
I mean acting is the only profession which we all watch.. we all watch these guys work. sports players and actors, or musicians. but actors every week on TV you know.
but its also the same for us. got that job at that company back in the day and you had a blast with those co workers and lost touch.
or you went away to college and made those friends for 4 years... or you went to live over there for 2 years and were super close to that person..
then GONE!!! lost touch... and 20 years later you run into that person...
yeah... life is cool... JOSH cracks me up with meeting the EX.. I am like that too.. " wow hows it going? how have you been?"
LOL my friends think I am crazy for wanting to remain friends with my exes LOL...
Josh Brolin was the best SNL host of modern times
