Early career[]
Josh joined YouTube on August 4, 2013. He started his channel by uploading GTA 5 gameplays. Josh's first video on his channel is of GTA 5, where he did a mission where he had to take out a weed factory and save Lamar in the process. His first three videos were of him completing missions in GTA 5 and the following 2 videos were about playing around in the world of GTA 5. His channel had a decent start and at the time, Josh was great friends with Brad (TheGamingLemon) from which Josh got a boost in subscribers.
2014-2019: Robust[]
In 2014, Josh met Jelly in Gamescom 2014. He later joined the gaming group Robust, replacing founding member Aquib, and made videos with Jelly and Jordi (Kwebbelkop). The group played many games such as GTA V, GMod, Gang Beasts and many others. The trio became popular and even became members of PewDiePie's short-lived YouTube network, Revelmode.
Outside of their gaming videos, they also made numerous vlogs and Q&A's together. Their most famous vlogs were uploaded in December 2017, when the trio "moved" to New York City together, but got "kicked out by the landlord" after only 6 days living there, as they were too loud. In reality, the trio confirmed in their reunion on the two/thirds podcast that they were just renting an AirBnB, and the "landlord" who informed them was actually one of Josh's staff. While the series was made as a joke and as a reference to the "vlog week" of other prominent YouTubers at the time, many viewers believed that they moved in, and was even brought up in a video by SunnyV2 about Kwebbelkop.
2019-2022: Recording with Jelly and Crainer[]
In September 2019, Josh played Golf It with Crainer, who was previously known for collaborating with fellow gaming YouTubers Lanceypooh and SSundee. Later on, he started recording gaming videos with Josh and Jelly in place of Kwebblekop. Also at this time, Slogoman was rebranded to just Slogo. Jelly, Slogo and Crainer started many gaming series. In May 2022, Slogo removed Crainer's YouTube link in the description of his videos, implying that Crainer stopped recording with the group. In November 2023, Crainer was allowed back into the group, and the three of them started recording together again.
