Just gotta say the way Miranda avoided answering the question about the wedding was masterful 😂 class act

I love that Miranda never fed into the drama when being asked about the wedding. She just changes the subject to just being happy for Josh and his wife as what they deserve. She's so sweet.

It seems like Drake sees D&J as the golden years but Josh sees it as a huge chunk of time when people were just mocking him for his appearance. To an extent, I feel bad for both of them. Drake can't let go of the past and Josh possibly doesn't want to relive it.

After watching Quiet on the Set... It seems to me Drake wanted to stick with Josh because he genuinely enjoyed being around him. It helped him escape the demons he was fighting at the time. Josh meanwhile felt like he was playing second fiddle and would never be able to get ahead and Drake was just using him. In a way he was, but for positive reasons. These two need to fix what happened between them.

“I was born during the Great Depression.. my mother’s” I DIED 🤣

"Speaking of feet, let's get back to Nickelodeon" 💀💀💀

Drake becoming wildly successful but exclusively in Mexico sounds like the kind of weird plot point they would have on an actual episode of Drake and Josh 🤣

Josh's script speaks volumes. "Josh and Drake" was a role reversal - he was making a fool of Drake to the extent that he felt "Drake and Josh" made a fool of him.

Miranda has always been so mature and positive when it comes to the media asking her uncomfortable questions. Love her

Mocking people for their size is disgusting. Mocking a CHILD for their size is EVIL.

The problem I think is that Josh never had the guts to tell Drake that he was just a co-star. Everyone in the comments seems to be putting Drake in this stalker, too attached field but it honestly just seems like Josh never told Drake, "look, I don't want to do anything with you past that." because Drake wouldn't have been hanging on so much if he would have just came out and said he wasn't friends and didn't want to be.

I’ve noticed Josh has a history of being really mean-spirited towards Drake meanwhile Drake has only ever said positive things about Josh even when he didn’t get invited to the wedding he never attached Josh’s character or made jokes about his career the way Josh has done to Drake. I honestly don’t like either of them, Josh for how two-faced and disingenuous he is, and Drake for his sexual misdemeanours.

I think it’s a great idea for the reboot to be reversed roles as adults. The unpopular kid is now a successful adult and the popular kid is struggling as an adult in real life. Idk about the idea Josh pitched, but there def could have been something.

As much as Josh appears to be a nice guy, it does seem like all the social media training has gone to his head. Like every interaction is a calculated step in his career. Drake is overly sentimental and untruthful as well but both of them give me a phony vibe, tbh.

So.......who's here after watching the Quiet on Set documentary?🙋🏽‍♀️

Miranda knew they were all weird, made her money, and left 😂 queen shit

31:50 Dude, Miranda is such a sweetheart. She didn’t want to create more drama, and gracefully avoided the question.

Throughout this entire video, you can really see how one sided everything is, even today. The sad look on Drake's face when he says Josh is always busy, but he'll be ready for a reunion whenever. The fact that he had a podcast called "Drake and Janet," completely copying the font and stylization of the original show's logo, even the Josh impersonator at the end of the Latino TV show. It reminds me of the episode of Drake and Josh, "Josh Is Done." Throughout the whole episode you see how Drake takes Josh for granted and is completely irresponsible, and Josh finally has enough. At the end of it all Drake finally admits what all of us I think knew all along: Drake needed Josh more than Josh ever would need Drake. EDIT: Just wanted to say thanks for all the likes and feedback on this!

I love how Drake’s wife is acting like she’s has had a 16 year long feud with josh herself.

I think it's a really interesting dynamic. To me, as someone who never watched the show and is looking at this from an unbiased perspective, it seems to me that Josh is a deeply angry person who was unwilling to confront that anger throughout his early years. This, at least to what I can see, comes from him being typecast as a child actor as the "Fat funny friend" and placed beside Drake who was typecast as "The handsome rebel." In real life, it looks to me that Drake didn't realize how bad the typecasting was, and never understood why Josh hated the show so much. And because he never realized it, Drake pursued a friendship with Josh after the show ended - which acted as a constant reminder of a time in Josh's life that he despised. That being said, Josh's choice to write a reboot script at all seems like a backhanded response to the Fan's constant longing to see the duo get back together. It was like he said, "Okay fine, you want a script, let me write you a script," and then began to bash his former co-star's life and fans from every angle imaginable. The choice to write Mexican stereotypes is incredibly revealing to Josh's character as a person, and while I don't agree with Drake's constant pursuit of Josh, I think Drake was being entirely naive. I think he saw them as friends, while Josh didn't - and Josh's resentment denied him the ability to be gracious enough towards Drake to tell him the truth and have them both move on. I also have to add that Drake's allegations are interesting as well - since he doesn't come across as someone who is violent, just someone who doesn't know where the line is with people.

I feel for Josh because Drake reminds me of a obsessed friend I had who loved being around me, but they were super cruel. I actually wonder how Drake treated Josh behind the scenes.

I have to agree with Josh that “he had the secret sauce” for Nickelodeon. His delivery has always been impeccable. No pun intended.

Drake's wife has such a weird energy. She feeds into the drama more than Drake himself

I honestly thought Drake was being unfairly labeled the villain in the whole situation due to Josh's online presence and success and with the legal issues with Drake. I think Josh has deep embedded anger towards Drake from his experience during the Drake & Josh era as it was suggested in the end of the video. I swear I'll miss them.

Although Drake is not a victim, I feel like everyone in these comments is just skimming over the Mexican stereotypes in the script that Josh wrote. My jaw dropped at every line that was read. Josh is not an angel by any means, I mean he was besties with David Dobrik of all people. Edit: Obviously the first part of my comment aged very poorly and my heart goes out to Drake as he heals from his childhood trauma. Nobody knew about Drake’s situation until “Quiet on Set” came out and I am glad he is bringing light to the situation. My original comment was posted a year ago. The rest of my comment still stands, Josh Peck is a weirdo.

I've watched several videos regarding the history of Drake and Josh, but I think Drake couldn't move on from D&J BUT also genuinely loved his relationship with Josh. The thing is, Josh felt like he probably lived his whole childhood in Drake's shadow, which is why he downplays his friendship with Drake and whatnot. Both Drake & Josh have... Interesting egos. I feel bad for both of them to be honest, but obviously not everything can be like how it is on screen. It's a shame because their on-screen chemistry was very, very good, even in the random vlogs or videos from way after the show ended. Either way, how Drake ended up is genuinely heartbreaking and gross. So sad for the victims.

Anyone else think that Josh Peck is just as monstrous but better at hiding it? why else would his story of events not match reality?

The dynamic between Drake Bell and Josh Peck is intriguing. Drake clearly viewed Josh as a close friend, a bro. However, Josh does not seem to feel the way Drake did about him. When you become so close with a friend overtime. And when a said friend is not appreciating or thinking of you the same way it hurts. I have a friend name Jacob, and we met in 5th Grade. However during COVID we did not talk for an entire year. What I can say, is that we still remain friends, even though we do not regularly keep in touch with each other. I do wonder though, if Jacob has ever felt the same way about our friendship.

When Josh said “Because while he (David) is a bad person, he helps all of our careers.” At 35:21 that right there went over a lot of people heads just because of the tone that he used.

Can we just appreciate that "I was born during the Great depression. My mother's." is amazing

What I see here is, a guy who always felt like he was in the shadow of his counter part. I also see another guy who understood, that the relationship he had with his counterpart made him extremely successful. Neither of those guys could let that go. As someone who was, and still am, an extreme fan of drake and josh and will still watch the show well into their 20s I understand the mentality behind both parties. Josh was always the butt-end of the joke, and felt like drake was always taken more seriously as a talent. Drake knows and understands that the chemistry between the 2 brought him great success. Drake is holding onto nostalgia while Josh is fighting to keep the past in the past.

In the end, both of them seem to be relatively unpleasant. One is far too focused on recreating his past, while the other was far too focused on redefining his past. In the end, it’s the fans who lose.

Josh seems to be doing very well for himself. It is incredible how talented he was: at the young age of 10. With standup comedy no less.

Drake Bell radiates the same energy as those people who peaked in Highschool and will never let it go EDIT: For those of you without critical thinking skills Drake Bell being a victim of child abuse does not excuse him grooming minors as a grown adult, hope this helps!!!

Damn it’s so heartbreaking to see how drake wants nothing more than them to be together, and how he doesn’t hold it against josh but he’s clearly hurt that josh doesn’t feel the same

It makes sense now why Drake wanted to hold onto that relationship now… he didn’t get to experience it the way he wanted and it was a difficult stage in his life.

I don’t blame Josh for not wanting to continue the “comedy duo” act because he didn’t want to play backup to Drake. Calling yourself Dean Martin and your friend Jerry Lewis is saying “I’m the more successful actor and singer and he is my funny man.” The reason Martin & Lewis broke up because Martin didn’t want Lewis having a day in what they did, and went his own way, which hurt Lewis and ended their friendship. Why would Josh want to follow that lead?

i kind of feel like Josh wrote the script that way and refused to change it so he could be like “well i tried” and not have to go through with a reboot. It really seems like he was pushed into it & that it was something he really did not want

After quiet on set, all of the new information makes all of this even more sad.

Drake definitely clung to an ideal reality in his mind for years, not really thinking about anyone else. And Josh just wanted to move on with his life and explore new things. Drake’s perspective actually reminds me of what it was like to be a kid, and you and your friends would be like, “We’ll move in together, and then move into houses next to each other, and have bbqs every week, etc etc”

Drake saying ‘I can’t believe he’d write me in the script as the bud of the joke’ and not realizing that’s exactly what Josh had to endure for so long literally blows my mind. Yea Josh, it’s ok to have you be the ‘fat insecure comedy guy’ while I was the ‘hot guy who gets girls and is cool’ for your entire life but I can’t believe you told me to go hug myself… like whu? Drake makes me feel so uncomfortable.

We can't act like Josh is any angel now even though the heat is only on Drake. I am 100% Josh is aware of all the gross things the vlog squad does but he keeps his mouth shut so he can still benefit from the relationship

Josh seems to be so two-faced, omg... He says he loves Drake, but he definitely don't. He showed what he thinks about Drake when he wrote that script.

It feels like this is going to need some revising post- Quiet on Set

I feel like Drake has a weird dependency on Josh. Like he seems to feel superior to Josh and needs him around to feel better and relevant.

Seeing their real-life relationship play out the way it has is heartbreaking but sometimes, you outgrow some friends and you go on different paths.

The fact this video was made without knowing the whole story makes this all wrong

Can we appreciate the editing of this video? It was so good and the way the Drake & Josh theme song played at the end of this video was just gold it felt so inappropriate but so right lol. Like this relationship they had across the years was a weird dumpster fire and all we could do is remember what they had onscreen back in the day with that iconic theme song that felt haunting in this vid (at the end)

They have a weird relationship (even before the actual criminal activity situation). But Josh obviously sees this as an old coworker or childhood friend from back home that you enjoyed but have moved on from. And Drake very much has the door open to rekindle the relationship. Neither are wrong but it's a tough situation to be in. Also Josh is definitely wayyyy smarter than he let's on. I mean look how he avoided the whole vlog squad scandal. Not saying he's a bad or fake person but he must know so many secrets about people in the industry and he just keeps it very positive. (I saw a comment that maybe he might have wrote the script badly on purpose)

I don't really think Drake understands that Josh was literally the joke in their original series. Drake got to be cool, everyone like him, and Josh was the fat goof. I don't blame him for not wanting to revisit a time like that.

Excellent work. Held my attention the entire time. Really good pacing and structure. Excellent use of media to support the intended communication.

drake bell is weird but the “I’m always on tour, he’s always at David Dobrik’s house” made me cackle 💀

I seriously remember feeling extremely uncomfortable with Drake constantly making out with girls on the show...I was honestly shocked it was allowed

Thank you for the upload!

Seeing this now after watching quiet on set, makes you realize a lot…..

To me it seems like Drake can’t let ‘Drake & Josh’ the show go. That was the only thing he has ‘successfully done’. Always having to be a pair, but never solo or going into his own adventures. I mean his own podcast is called ‘Drake & Janet’ with the logo being a copy of Drake & Josh. Also why is Drake’s wife trying to act like she is a victim, she never was apart of ‘Drake & Josh’ the show? Has she ever even met Josh, she’s fighting her husbands ‘problems’?

Josh’s standup from his youth is incredible.

Drake talks like he loves Josh so much but he didn't see Josh as a friend, he saw him as a ticket to fame. If the only thing you can say about him is "he was supposed to be the Lewis to my martin" that just shows that you had a vision for success and saw Josh as the way to that.

Wow, I've got so invested in your video. You really did an amazing job storytellingwise. I had no idea about them two not getting along very well

Josh paved a career for himself. Drake can't let a sitcom from 2004 go.

It really is unfortunate how everything unfolded between the two. Drake and Josh’s on-screen chemistry was honestly incredible and always fun to watch. It’s pretty clear to see that Drake has a “peaked in high school” vibe to him where he really couldn’t move on from his time on Nickelodeon which led to him eventually depending on Josh and became the root for a lot of his controversies and eventual downfall. I don’t think Josh is innocent either, where in a lot of cases Josh comes off as disingenuous. I genuinely think that Drake wanted to maintain a strong friendship with him after the show ended but I definitely understand why he wants to distance himself from the show due to the trauma he experienced while he was on the show as well as distance himself from Drake later on with all of his issues and drama. It would be nice to see them reconcile but it seems pretty unlikely now. It’s pretty clear that their egos will get in the way of that happening where Drake plays the innocent card and likes to think that it’s still 2006, while Josh will continue to downplay his friendship with Drake and history on Nickelodeon while he proceeds to be on the iCarly reboot which I think is a subliminal diss towards Drake with the D&J reboot falling through. It’s really just frustrating and petty on both ends

This video needs way more views. Incredible work

False Fact on 37:38 Drake Bell confirmed on the Yordi Rosado podcast that his change of last name to 'Campana' was blown out of proportion; he simply google translated his last name to know what it would be in spanish and was shocked at the news outlets jumping conclusion to him legally changing his name.

Sadly, he was typecasted for so long and it is probably very difficult to break out of that. Josh mentions someone like Zendaya who has been very strategic of what roles she takes, never playing the same type of characters. Her character on Disney also was not a common archetype that is hard to get out of. She was a dancer which is pretty transferable in roles. Someone like JLO was able to break out of the dancer role and get into acting too.

You hit the nail on the head right at the end. Its simply came down to Josh not liking Drake like Drake liked Josh. Josh grew a grudge against Drake for being the fat kid butt of the joke stereotype and it never left him. He hated it so much its literally whats let him to get in shape and once he did that he started feeling himself and happily walked away from what he saw as a bad experience. Sad really. Hope the best for Drake and Josh and hopefully they can both move past their struggling

Great video! New subscriber here! I am looking forward to more videos in the future.

It’s interesting, when I was younger I thought Drake wanted to distance himself from Josh to be taken seriously as a musician but after all the interviews it seems like Josh was the one distancing himself. They have such good chemistry together- what a shame that they couldn’t keep up their comedic duo. I mean Ben Still and Owen Wilson team up a lot, and so does Adam Sandler and Rob Snider. They could have kept it up.

Drake reminds me of the friend I had that literally brings up being the main role in 6th grade every chance she could. She always said yeah you're my right hand and we'll always be best friends. I haven't seen her since high school. When I announced I was pregnant 4 years ago she bit my head off for not telling her first. I haven't talked with her beside through Facebook since graduation. 🤷‍♀️

Josh is so talented even as a little child wow

So Drake irl is basically like Josh in the show, and Josh irl is like Drake in the show. Got it.

listen the way y’all made “i ran over oprah” fade out was so funnnyyyyyyyyyy

The whole wedding situation just seemed so irrelevant. I understood that it’s been several years without being by each others side, but if you aren’t close anymore then you aren’t close. Josh not wanting to invite Drake to the wedding because of their relationship being separated by time is fine! They split apart, it happens. It felt like a overreaction to something really simple, idk.

I think some people just have a hard time understanding that friendship doesn't need to be forever. A lot of times you have a friendship that serves you for a specific amount of time and then you grow out of it. That happens and it's ok to happen.

Ive always found this so sad. Drake obviously really loved his time on the show and cherished his relationship with Josh who seemed to want to get away from bejng "Drake and Josh", which is understandable wanting to be seen as a more serious actor but dont leave behind the people who were there before. I dont know what hapoened behind the scenes as there could be issues between them that no one but they themselves know about but I will say it always sucks to lose someone you've been so close to for so long just to find out they didnt invite you to such an important event as a wedding. John Stamos' tweet was just childish and unnecessary

I think Josh wrote it to be a “F U” to Drake and to make Drake hate him. He got sick of him and sick of hearing about a reboot. Especially after he pulled all the drama stuff after his wedding and the constant begging for attention I don’t blame him. Drake wanted Josh to be his side kick for the rest of his life. Josh is funny as hell and I always thought he was the attractive one ❤

the tragic noise every time dan schneider is mentioned has me CACKLING HAHAHA

"You know, you remind me of my stepbrother..." "Oh, is he awesome?" "No, no, he's in jail for stalking Oprah."😂😂😂😂

The way Josh have always painted Drake as the bad guy and the one who doesn’t want anything to do with him, while in fact, Drake LOVES Josh and it’s obvious he sees him as family.

I cant help but think Josh was bitter about how he was portrayed by Nickelodeon and is taking it out on Drake.

Drake genuinely cares. The fact that he said it’s not gonna be the same thing as every other reboot at the time. “It’s not us in college” or like “fuller house” the fact that he said that directly, makes me genuinely think this would’ve been a successful project.

Literally an ad break every 4 minutes is CRAZY

Drake just reminds me of if Bojack Horseman was a real person

Drake comparing himself to Dean Martin and John Lennon is absolutely hilarious to me!! Like sir, you think HIGHLY of yourself! Also, interesting that they both turned out not to be the morally upright person people thought them to be.

drake is so obsessed w the sitcom he did in the 2000s truely irl bojack

the editing is so shady i love it 😂😂

Absolutely LOVE your deep dives. Really informative and eye opener. One thing I would like to say is if you could equalize the volumen between the clips and the voice overs, cause I find myself constantly changing the volumen while Im watching the video. Keep up the good work! 💞

i was obsessed with the show and personally always preferred josh, he was/is super talented, never seen old videos as I was a toddler during the Amanda show but from the start wow he always had the talent. also love your videos!

I relate to both of them so much. Sometimes we have a soft spot for people who don't even like us. And sometimes those people have their own situation going on and just want to move on. The people we love aren't ours. 😢.

i find so much justice in this new view of josh. we all loved him & saw drake in the light that josh painted (jealous/bitter). now we're realizing who really was those things & drake is getting the love & support he deserved. i feel for josh..all his childhood emotional trauma. but like, he's an adult + an influencer of sorts + a DAD! it's time to get therapy & heal, my guy. this ain't a good look. & EVERYTHING he does is recorded 😭

Really great video! There's been a lot of manipulation on each side of the argument (Drake's side and Josh's side) trying to turn the narrative in their favor, and I think you did an amazing job at summing it all up, without forgetting any detail. Personally, I don't really believe Josh has resentment toward Drake. I think he really was trying to distance himself from him as fast as possible, following all of the abuse allegations that came up, and exaggerated the whole 'we were never close' thing. Both of them seem very disingenuous to me, and I think we'll just never know the full truth about this. I used to be a big fan of the show, but now I don't have a lot of love left for either of them after what happened. It's kind of sad. If anything, I'm just glad Miranda Cosgrove was not caught in the crossfire and very smartly avoided making any comment on it. Good for her, good for her!

between Josh's ego and Drake's legal troubles, my childhood is in shambles

Drakes wife just seems to love gettin involved, shes smirking and laughing at questions as if she is Drake, she answers for him too like.... girl it aint about you

this is a real 'everyone sucks here' situation lol

so when josh got the part i was like “oh no way rad” 💀

The tweets Drake made about Josh’s wedding were so petty. You can invite whomever you want to your wedding. I hate when people feel entitled to you.

Miranda is such a class act

Josh took out his insecurities on Drake. Being the butt of the joke due his weight had to do with the writers not Drake. I hope with all the details of the new doc that everyone involved is able to heal moving forward .

All Josh really needed to do was just tell Drake it's never going to happen and that he only saw Drake as a co-worker. He wants to move on with his life and hopes Drake would do the same. Literally just needed to have a simple private talk with Drake and when asked in the public just say "It was fun. But I've moved on."

Idk who Janet is but she seems weirdly jealous of the relationship Drake had with Josh?
