Genuine affection between two men is a privilege to witness
Brought tears to my eyes.
Absolutely!
So well said, so well said.
❤
Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety for you Mr. Brolin. Keep on staying on the straight path to clean living.
heck yeah! he absolutely nailed playing cable in deadpool 2, has a great attitude and I will pick up his book!
CONGRATULATIONS!🎉
Woopity dooooo
14 yrs here and it was the wisest decision I ever made. Sober brothers, keep your eyes on the prize.
Congratulations and thank you. Having grown up with alcoholics when I attended an AA meeting with a sober friend she asked me what I thought. It was the best Christmas of my childhood. It's like all that got fixed.
Amen. Congratulations. 😊
Congratulations
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰👍👍🤗🤗
10 years for me, what a gift
You go!
Congratulations!🎉
Nice job, Betsy.
CONGRATS!!! 🥰❤🎉🥰🎉❤
Congratulations. Bless you.
that was the sweetest, most manly thing ever - two grown men comfortable with themselves, and each other, to show true affection & respect. lovely, just lovely.
Congrats Josh! Almost 1 year for me. Best year ever!
Excellent. I am at almost 7 years and it is great.
Amazing! Love seeing guys love on each other and it not be weird. Very natural and honest.
That's how you know you're boys
They are both confident enough they don't worry how it looks to other people. They know themselves.
Congratulations sir 35 years for me
It's because of tender (and hilarious) moments such as the one where Mr Brolin sits on Stephen's lap and gives one of the best answers EVER to such a personal question that LSSC is the best talk show around.
Six years for me! What a lovely interview ❤
Congratulations. Keep on fighting the good fight!
Congratulations Mr. Brolin on sobriety for 11 years! 28 years for me and one of the best decisions I ever made!
I'm the same age as Josh and just hit 18 years sober. I'm happy for him and it absolutely brings your life together in ways that you didn't realize were missing. He seems like a good guy.
Congratulations on 18 years sober! That’s an incredible achievement and a real testament to your determination and perseverance. It’s amazing how much clarity and fulfillment can come from living alcohol-free, especially when you look back and realize how many pieces of your life come together once you remove that barrier.
Josh Brolin’s journey seems to resonate with a lot of people for similar reasons-he’s open about the fact that sobriety gave him back parts of himself he’d lost sight of, and it’s clear he values the second chance. Being around the same age and sharing that sense of renewal probably underscores how “good of a guy” he is in your eyes. Your story is also a reminder that everyone’s path is unique, but the common thread is how rewarding and life-changing recovery can be. Keep celebrating every milestone; your journey is inspiring!
11 yrs. Good on you mate. I'm coming up to anniversary 4. A real game changer.
Stephen & Josh... such a sweet chat. Mom, Mountain Lions & Sobriety. Congrats on Anniversary Josh.
Stephen Colbert was my family's waiter at the Italian restaurant Scoozi in Chicago in the early 1990's and he was my Dad who has passed away said that Stephen was his favorite waiter at that time. Great memory. Cheers now from Australia to You Stephen. 🍺😺
what a cool memory and connection...thank you...RIP
Amazing 🎉am on day one of sobriety wishing I get 11 years like josh 👍
Keep on truckin'
18 months here, stick with it - it does get easier. One day at a time 🍀
@@a_bode1 Thank you
@@a_bode1 Thank you
@a_bode1 one moment at a time for me...
Awwww... So sweet that connection between Josh and Stephen... Adorable! Real men!
Always love Josh’s positivity and quirkiness. 3 years sober myself and I’ve never felt better.
Good on you, staying sober. Truly. Awesome.
Josh is High on Life and that's Wonderful!
I think it’s time for every interview to take place on Colbert’s lap
funny but his wife might get a bit miffed with some of them!
@@leward7788 was going to say the same thing
Dude! Nov. 1st, '24 was ⭐MY 11 YEARS SOBER ⭐ Anniversary! Obviously, this means I'm as cool as Josh Brolin 😎🤣
No sorry Tabetha. You're way more cool ❤
Well done!!!
@@nfboogaard I am kinda awesome, I'll admit it 💪😁👍
This is EXACTLY why I love these two!
Bless you Josh Brolin for staying sober 11 yrs good 4 u!
Oh boy, I needed that again. Last time Mr. Brolin was on was just enchanting and joyous and this didn't let me down. What amazing men.
My favorite Colbert interviews are Josh Brolin. I can’t help but smile ear to ear.
Ah, smiling ear to ear, you say? That’s a lovely image, but allow me to gently burst your bubble-unless you’ve undergone some serious modifications, a la The Joker from Batman, it’s biologically impossible for a smile to actually stretch that far. Let’s unpack this scientifically and, well, absurdly.
First, human smiles are limited by the zygomaticus major muscles. These little heroes pull your mouth corners upward and outward when you’re grinning. However, their range of motion is capped by two things:
The structure of your face-skin and muscle elasticity can only stretch so far before your body files a formal complaint.
Your ears, annoyingly static bystanders-they’re not involved in smiling (tragically), and they remain firmly stationed at their posts, far beyond smile range.
For an ordinary human, the maximum smile might hit somewhere near mid-cheek. Sure, you could try to fake it by yanking at your face with your hands, but at that point, you're not smiling; you're auditioning for a horror movie.
Now, let’s bring The Joker into the conversation. His infamous “smile” is thanks to what’s known in the trade as a Glasgow Grin or Chelsea Smile (sounds much more pleasant than it is). It’s less about happiness and more about, uh, creative facial scarring. Not the route you’d take to enhance your charm, I hope.
So unless you’ve stumbled into a vat of chemicals (please don’t) or have an exceptionally flexible face (genetics can be wild), smiling “ear to ear” is metaphorical at best and physiologically absurd at worst. But hey, I’ll give you points for enthusiasm-your smile might not physically reach your ears, but your vibe certainly does! 😄
They love each other, and it’s amazing
I absolutely love their friendship!
Great chemistry.
Congrats Mr. Brolin.
Great interview, Josh! 23 years for me on 31 Oct.
LOL Okay, that was hilarious.
They're lovely together.
this is how genuinely beautiful souls look like!!!
Congratulations on 11 years Josh B.! I am at 25 years and change. While it might not be wise for everyone to reveal their sobriety, I always do because I never know who is listening. It is also a victory to anyone who has been living with *ANY* addiction to hear someone else have a win.
Love Josh Brolin, live and love your life everyone. Existence is too short.
Congratulations on 11 years!! Thank you for all the wonderful performances! From Goonies to Sicario to Thanos to your new book, you’ve given us so much! Always a fan of these two talking as old friends 🎉
I've heard of bromance, but you are not ready for Brolinmance. 😁
I'm ready, even a Thanos Santa edition
Josh is the best bro ever
Colbert don’t disappoint.
❤love you colbert❤
Watching this just made me feel good for some undefinable reason. He has so much confidence and is so comfortable in his own skin.
IMO Stephen has the amazing gift of allowing anyone to let their guard down. Case in point: this interview. This was a real gift to us all
I just love that guy and loved his dad too !
Always love Josh Brolin, what a charming man!
What a great guy, first time I've seen him on a chat.
He was fabulous on Graham Norton, Howard Stern, WTF Podcast with Marc Maron......forget others. He is fun, talented, and just a great man. We need more men like him.
"I just adore you."
Warm fuzzy.
I want to hang out with Brolin. He just seems like a genuine soul.
Happy 11 years sober Josh🎉🥳🎂
OMG I've never loved Josh Brolin more. Congratulations Good Man and all the best to you!👏👏🎉🎉❤❤
Nice to see another person, another man mind you, talk open about their sobriety.
I hit four years back in July. It’s nice. Sometimes it’s a struggle, sometimes it’s real easy.
AWWW!! So sweet bromance! 💕💕
A Josh Brolin/Stephen Colbert interview is always guaranteed to be wholesome chaos.
He is so much better since he stopped drinking……congratulations Josh!! Isn’t life fun??!!! You are such a cool dude!! ❤️❤️
This is most reassuring for me as I’ve just made it year on the wagon. Nice to know I’m not alone. Thank you Mr. Brolin.

The greatest bromance ive ever seen.
Brolin's career resurgence over the last 15 or so years has been one of my favorite things ever. He just seems like a genuinely fun dude, good guy and a real character.
I love him even more now! What an awesome soul❤🎉
Oh man I love him.

You are a good actor 😊
Brolin on Colbert is always must see tv.
It's a tough road but the clarity and hope you feel after being sober makes it worth. I'll be at 8 months sober on Dec 7 but I'm so happy and I don't miss drinking at all.
Oh lawd yes... this was fantastic
Well done Sir 👏 Congratulations
Love, love, love him! ❤
Keep going to all those who have kept going forward well done god bless you all
This gotta be my favorite bromance. That forehead kiss 😂
Goonies never die.
They may get sober, but they never die!!! Congrats, JB.
Love from TX
Wait a goddamn second - you are apparently selling me a moment where I can also sit on Stephen's lap if I claim sobriety - how does this work (without taking something away from Josh)?
First you gotta saunter onstage like a movie star
11 years for me too! Will be 12 in January! 😊😊😊
He is genuinely funny🎉
Josh Brolin! 🤩😘💜
Real man right there.
almost 7 years for me!
