Duty Calls

Hosted by

Josh's mother and younger brother were a mess. His mother drank too much. His brother got arrested a lot. Josh hadn't lived with them since he was nine, and they didn't play much of a role in his daily life — until duty called, and they took over his life.

Josh told the sequel to this story at TAL's live show in 2014.
