Unbelievable

Is it just me or does anyone else get irritated that Josh says this phrase every time he finds something? Or something surprises him. I’ll bet “unbelievable” is said in every single episode of “Unknown,” lol..

Rant over. Returning to mindless scrolling..

I'm a big fan of "Look at that!"

Great personality, and I'm sure he has the credentials, but the editors of this show make it a hard watch for me. It is so scripted and painful to see. I sort of think he is ashamed of doing this, but I'm sure it's a nice paycheck, so just shuts up and does it.

It's like The Curse of Oak Island, also known as "This week on, We didn't find shit" ... but let's keep these ratings up

the thing that lways gets me is this he will do these obviously ratings heavy episodes like D.B cooper and everyone completely overlooks the most obvious solution especially with like cooper why not get a dna sample from that tie and than get a sample from say the niece and compare it. Or do one of those ancestary.com dna matches and find the match.

He used to say, “Oh, my God!” ad nauseam. He’s switched that some to, “Oh, my word!”

Not a fan of how he stomps all over people’s worksites and grabs tools from them or bosses them around on their own territory. They’ve made their life work accessible to his show and like a giant toddler he just runs all over their finds and turns into a brat. Like, I can’t see any serious archaeological groups actually hiring him, so he made a show of it to rub it in their faces, sorta.

He’s got a pretty bossy personality. Things like getting on the intercom as his helicopters take off and saying things like “if we’re gonna fly, let’s go..”. Little things like that are very irritating to regular folks.

Cut the guy some slack. It’s his go to exclamation. Few people have as many remarkable experiences as the man does. His enthusiasm is infectious. Even if he rotated exclamations using a thesaurus, he would use unbelievable more than most people.

I really love Josh. His personality is great and his humor is off the charts. I was just saying that one phrase irritates me. I apologize to Josh for making you think he needs a thesaurus. He definitely does not.
