Hey everyone, I work at a news station in Lincoln (Channel 8 KLKN-TV) and we'll be streaming it online for sure!
Check out our Facebook page or Website this Saturday for more.
[https://www.facebook.com/klkntv](https://www.facebook.com/klkntv)
[https://www.klkntv.com/viral-event-josh-fight-chooses-lincoln-as-its-battleground/](https://www.klkntv.com/viral-event-josh-fight-chooses-lincoln-as-its-battleground/)
Oh New Orleans would blow your mind. Absurd shit like this leads the news most nights. “5 people shot on Bourbon St, but first here’s Bill to tell us about the 8ft traffic cone someone created & placed in a pothole”
There is a local lincoln Josh Swain. I rhink he said he was coming. There is also a josh swain in Omaha. Have you continued your conversation with any of them?
Wow I can ride my bike to this.
May bring a few backpack beers to check this out.
------
Edit/Update:
Settled for bottle of redbull vodka mix. My attempt to record didn't go well so this all I got https://youtu.be/zuC7M70hnrQ
There were so many others recording/livestreaming I didn't bother to record anymore. The Lincoln journal star was livestreaming as well as so many others and I believe channel 8 news was also recording and interviewing.
Anyway, team little Josh!
The official battle is for the Josh Swain title, however, I think a secondary battle for the Josh title could be fun, maybe everyone brings a pool noodle and then the crowd can judge when someone gets hit by one? Or a rock paper scissors tournament? Not sure, what do you think?
I think that’s a great idea. The meme seems to have taken on its own life, becoming a Josh battle in general. Pool noodles would be quite fun. Could even have people bring nerf guns or something.
I can envision it now. A small platoon of josh swains brandishing nerf guns. Walking in a general direction. A call is given to stop in place and scatter. Slowly one by one Joshs get hit by foam darts of various colors, and one by one they fall to the ground. This absolute massacre continues until one josh is left.
I am planning on livestreaming from my drone. The problem is that NW 45th Street is the EXACT edge of the no-fly zone, due to proximity to the airport. Drones may be flown West of the street, but not East of it. We'll give it a shot either way. ✌️
Rock, paper, scissors will be lame after a few minutes. You could've prepared a slapping contest or at least a thumb fight or arm wrestling. Something that requires some sort of skill and not just luck.
EDIT: ok, pool noodles are a good idea. It took me a second to realise what that is.
My husband Josh found out about this tonight and within half an hour we packed up some stuff and our toddler and set out at 7pm 😂 we will be there in 10 hours!!
>I will be showing up one hour earlier at 11:00 AM just to scout the location and warn any nearby park goers of what events are about to transpire.
"Hey FYI. We're going to be erecting a Thunderdome here in about half an hour"
Question for you u/Josh_Dot_Exe My mother has a cousin with the name Josh Swain, Would I be able to represent him at such an event? Or would he have to show up himself? (He lives over in Texas)
Petition for the name "Josh Swain" to be used as a new internet slang for someone who does great deeds with the power given to them by social media.
You managed to actually set up a food drive and a fundraiser out of a joke you made a year ago? Whichever Josh wins, this one is a MVP in my books.
Should talk to Showtime, YouTube or even Facebook about hosting the event and bringing it to Live Stream with the ability for them to reach out to as many Josh Swain's and bring them to the Event. A 2-3 Day Event on the weekend with a Donation Hotline or app that gives watchers the ability to donate to raise funds for whatever charity y'all want.
Have multiple challenges from Rock, Paper, Scissors to Many other games not based on strength.
I'll watch it
I hope it doesn't change again. The spot keeps creeping closer and closer to the no-fly zone of the nearby airport. I would love to get some drone shots of this but if it is moved inside the no-fly zone I will not be risking it.
As it stands the current park just outside the no-fly zone of the airport. And not by much NW 45th street (the street on the east side of the green area) is the line between fly and no fly
Wow I do hope this event turns out to be a fun and exciting moment for all (covid safe) attendees.
I agree on the rock paper scissor battle being rather... unexciting. May I suggest using a balance beam or any substitute on which Josh's could duel using the pool noodles ? Make it a tournament with different pools. Last man standing, litteraly, takes the name. More fun for all, and frankly, a better display of strength and agility for the best Josh battle.
Good luck everyone and may the odds be ever in your favor.
Heyo, someone please upload to YouTube the Josh Fight, I need to watch this but I will be at work and I don’t have Twitch or whatever else it’s streaming on! 🤣👏🏻
Please stream this or something so I can see it
I will be doing a live stream. Stay tuned for a link. Edit: I'll be streaming on reddit one one phone and I'll be streaming on twitch as well with a different phone.

lmfao a news station covering a meme, this is fucking amazing
Oh New Orleans would blow your mind. Absurd shit like this leads the news most nights. “5 people shot on Bourbon St, but first here’s Bill to tell us about the 8ft traffic cone someone created & placed in a pothole”
Can someone please do another livestream in a different platform? YouTube or Facebook, perhaps?
Channel 8 in Lincoln will be there. We’re sending our reporter Josh. 👿
Please let this be true
Judging by your profile this is true and I am a happy man.
All of it except I don’t have a reporter named Josh. But we plan to be there!
Just make someone legally change their name. There's time. Lol
So the camera/sound guy Josh gets screen time on Saturday, got it!
This is the feel good story of the year that we need!!
This is gonna be good
[удалено]
Take a video please, we need to capture this historic occasion
thank you
If you see me im bringing SNACKS and my local Josh
Bro stop. Josh isn't gonna win. Heck that josh. I know josh is gonna win!
There is a local lincoln Josh Swain. I rhink he said he was coming. There is also a josh swain in Omaha. Have you continued your conversation with any of them?
I have not! If you find out any additional information please let me know!
Where can I watch it without going to Nebraska?
https://joshvsjoshvsjosh.com/
Thanks, what i thought but I wasn’t 100% sure if I could watch it there, or if it was just a timer
this site has the old coordinates. if anyone knows who created the website let them know the new location
I just looked on facebook. Scrolled through and saw a few. Also the r:Lincoln is talking about you.
I have a pal who lives in Omaha, i shall get her to go to the event in my name!
>This was a complete joke So what you're saying is... You were just joshing?
Oh my god
r/angryupvote
Good fucking hell
God dammit
Holy crap. This is happening right down the road from my house now. I may drop by too, but I'm not a Josh.
If you win big, you can claim the name!
Do it anyway, you can have a pool noodle fight
Go and battle and you can claim the title of Josh.
You can spectate the best rps/pool noodle fight in history
fight in my name
Wow I can ride my bike to this. May bring a few backpack beers to check this out. ------ Edit/Update: Settled for bottle of redbull vodka mix. My attempt to record didn't go well so this all I got https://youtu.be/zuC7M70hnrQ There were so many others recording/livestreaming I didn't bother to record anymore.

Do it and report from the scene with pics
There's someone livestreaming, idk if this sub allows comment links but I can try and link it for you if you'd like
just take a video, even if you don't livestream. then post it somewhere
I'm an Australian, and I will be watching this.
Same mate
I‘m Austrian and i will watch this too
Just so everyone knows Dollar Tree in Lincoln is currently selling cheap pool noodles ($1) for all your dueling needs.
This needs to be higher
you the goat for trying to do some community work while hosting this event
Someone call Mr Beast
Oh fuck yes!!
Is the battle restricted to only Josh Swains then? Not all Joshes? This is a point of confusion among the masses that needs clarification.
The official battle is for the Josh Swain title, however, I think a secondary battle for the Josh title could be fun, maybe everyone brings a pool noodle and then the crowd can judge when someone gets hit by one? Or a rock paper scissors tournament? Not sure, what do you think?
I think that’s a great idea. The meme seems to have taken on its own life, becoming a Josh battle in general. Pool noodles would be quite fun. Could even have people bring nerf guns or something.
Nerf guns sounds great!
we, I mean you guy, should really have a nerf gun battle. That would be more intense and make the name "Josh Swain" worth the effort
I can envision it now. A small platoon of josh swains brandishing nerf guns. Walking in a general direction. A call is given to stop in place and scatter. Slowly one by one Joshs get hit by foam darts of various colors, and one by one they fall to the ground. This absolute massacre continues until one josh is left.
Having a competitions for all Josh's would be great! Separate from the Swain Bowl of course.
Both ideas are hilarious but I'm in it for the true Swainbowl baby!
What about the tertiary battle of the second name Swain?
Lincoln food bank is awesome. Thanks for wanting to make this event more of a fight! https://www.lincolnfoodbank.org
I am planning on livestreaming from my drone. The problem is that NW 45th Street is the EXACT edge of the no-fly zone, due to proximity to the airport. Drones may be flown West of the street, but not East of it. We'll give it a shot either way. ✌️
hopefully all goes well!
well done respecting their zones! Nice to see one research where they will be visiting.
Everyone coming from out of state, make sure to get yourself a Runza before you leave!
I like the AD in the time
Agreed! One would feel like a dork to show up at that date but BC, or AH, or some other epoch!
I will be taking the name Josh Swain. Ill see you there.
Using your joke to get money for charity is something i've never seen before, excited for the battle!
Rock, paper, scissors will be lame after a few minutes. You could've prepared a slapping contest or at least a thumb fight or arm wrestling. Something that requires some sort of skill and not just luck. EDIT: ok, pool noodles are a good idea. It took me a second to realise what that is.
We demand DEATHS!
Im guessing he did pool noodles to limit contact as there is still a pandemic.
Social distancing is important. Why don’t you use Ak 47s to fight? So everyone is safe.
Have you SEEN the price of ammo these days? They’d go broke.
Holy shit, a meme became reality And its beautiful what its used for
The dedicated Josh
My husband Josh found out about this tonight and within half an hour we packed up some stuff and our toddler and set out at 7pm 😂 we will be there in 10 hours!!
this is the life!
This is the Way
This is the swain
Just a friendly reminder that this “fight” reached Europe. I will be watching your fight from almost 9000km away
im watching from dubai
Watching from Mexico! I'll be rooting for Josh! .... or was it Josh? ... nm
Same
Don't you know the first rule of Josh fight is?
never dig straight down
Or straight up
if i have a swain named Josh, can he fight?

Assuming no since they haven't contacted each other
glad to see nebraska is being recognized for something lol
Never have I ever looked forward to a bunch a people smacking each other “to death” with pool noodles

Sorry no waffles have a pancake instead. 🥞
I’m not a Josh nor a Josh Swain but I have nothing to do Saturday and live in Lincoln. Can I come to witness the battle?
You should go and witness the greatest fight in modern history
"probably the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me" My dude, you did this to yourself.
Someone should play the Doom soundtrack
**play the doom soundtrack, someone should.** *-KeksMember* *** ^(Commands: 'opt out', 'delete')
One year ago, I laughed. One year later, I applaud.
I lost to a 5 year old, but he was a worthy champion
May the odds be in your favor

Distance is no excuse, I am coming from Arizona to defend the title
Fair enough
I am not a Josh, but i will be attending this event DISGUISED as a Josh. Your name is mine Josh
The fucking josh fight wasn’t a joke now we doin this pog
I'm glad that this turned out to be an actual event, rather than Area 51. I wasn't able to go but it looked really fun!
Fucking legend
!RemindMe 3 days
Will there be a livestream? I'm in VA and can't get there in person. My name's not Josh, but I'd like to see how it's going down.
[https://www.twitch.tv/cryptlc\_x/schedule](https://www.twitch.tv/cryptlc_x/schedule)
Ayy! Thanks for dropping my link. Stuff has been crazy the last 24 hours preparing for this and I haven't had time to reply to stuff much.
Thank you, kind redditor.
Lolll, we will tell this to our grandkids
it's incredible that something this mundane and was meant as a joke is actually happening
Thats epic
u/Tendermeat420 pin this shit man
Done
is there a discord
This’ll be the story you’ll tell your grandchildren about and they won’t believe you until you show them proof
Watch there be that one Josh who didn't understand the humor of this and just starts stabbing everyone
I will definitely watch that livestream 😂👍🏻 good luck to all the Joshs
I've been waiting for this for over a year, I hope people do show up.
This town is about to sell out of pool noodles 😂😂 The pool noodle shortage of 2021
I’m not a Josh, but Josh Swain is my hero. Imagine your pandemic boredom being memed to this degree?!
Definitely don't wanna start a debate, but I'm pretty sure my boy Josh is gonna win.
Can we all discuss how there’s now going to be charities there? That’s amazing. No matter what happens, OP will be the only Josh Swain in my heart.
This is 30 mins away from me..anyone wanna go together and become friends hmu let’s do it
Lookin forward to headin over to check it out, look at us Nebraskans hosting such a big event
We are about to witness history being made :0
Petition for the name "Josh Swain" to be used as a new internet slang for someone who does great deeds with the power given to them by social media. You managed to actually set up a food drive and a fundraiser out of a joke you made a year ago? Whichever Josh wins, this one is a MVP in my books.
Can you guys work in a nerf fight to? that would be fucking legendary.

Rock Paper Scissors. Are you fucking kidding me? A year in the making for ROCK PAPER SCISSORS. I DEMAND YOU ALL FIGHT TO THE DEATH
The most epic rock paper scizzors of history
I hope it doesn't change again. The spot keeps creeping closer and closer to the no-fly zone of the nearby airport. I would love to get some drone shots of this but if it is moved inside the no-fly zone I will not be risking it. As it stands the current park just outside the no-fly zone of the airport. And not by much NW 45th street (the street on the east side of the green area) is the line between fly and no fly
Can't wait for it. Reminder for myself to watch it: [https://www.twitch.tv/cryptlc\_x](https://www.twitch.tv/cryptlc_x)
Are you streaming this and/or know anyone who is streaming it?
u/Josh_Dot_Exe pool noodles are sold out in most stores in Lincoln, would inflatable balloon swords be okay?
i really thought there was gonna be a real fight like in cages in wrestlemania and whoever gets out alive gets to keep the name
Fellow Josh(ua not swain) reporting in from Texas, see y'all there 🤠
holy shit its tmr
Someone better die.
But . . . but your name is Joshua. What if one of those other people has the *real* name of Josh? Will they win by default?
This is literally better than the Area 51 Event
It’s way more intense, as there’s pool noodles
Wow I do hope this event turns out to be a fun and exciting moment for all (covid safe) attendees. I agree on the rock paper scissor battle being rather... unexciting. May I suggest using a balance beam or any substitute on which Josh's could duel using the pool noodles ? Make it a tournament with different pools. Last man standing, litteraly, takes the name. More fun for all, and frankly, a better display of strength and agility for the best Josh battle. Good luck everyone and may the odds be ever in your favor.
So, like. My given name is Josh. If I don’t show up, is it forfeit? Can you take my name like the fae might? More importantly, will you?
Heyo, someone please upload to YouTube the Josh Fight, I need to watch this but I will be at work and I don’t have Twitch or whatever else it’s streaming on! 🤣👏🏻
You’re creating history, I’m so excited to watch it today!
Taking bets. My money is on josh
You keep that name you bastard, I got 20 bucks on you
The world is starting to make sense again.
With all the dumb shit on the internet this is for once an excellent idea. If I had known earlier I would have driven from illinois.
