Heya playas.
This is The Josh Speaks.
You're watching The Josh Speaks.
You see ever since I started making my transition from being half man to half amazing, a lot
of people have put me under fire for it.
And some of the things they've pointed out is my characteristics, my behavior, my clothing
style and the way I treat other people.
So what I really want to talk about today is what's called the Dunning Kruger effect.
Imagine you're hanging out with your friends at a bar and you're singing "Don't Stop Believing".
You know, you hit it, all your friends clap for you, everyone's excited.
And upon that excitement, one of your friends comes up to you and says "Hey dude, you should
audition for American Idol".
And you're standing there doing your horrible rendition of "Don't Stop Believing" in front
of INSERT AMERICAN IDOL JUDGES HERE.
And they tear you apart and tell you how bad of a singer you really are.
Wait a minute, all your friends told you you were good?
That my friends is the Dunning Kruger effect.
It's this belief that some people have that their mediocre talents are actually better
than what they may suppose it to be.
But the Dunning Kruger effect doesn't only extend to stupid people, It also extends to
smart people too.
Because the people who are actually educated in the fields that are knowledgeable are too
afraid to showcase it.
And this fear is sometimes what holds them back from making videos and publishing their
own individual books and pieces.
But let's tie it all back now to the Cult of Josh and why I'm wearing this robe.
So glad of you guys to join me today.
We're gonna go over a few ground rules.
You see time and time again people have come to me and said you know, you're really just
trying to mislead people.
You're trying to hook them in with your stories and your routines.
You're trying to get them to believe something that's not real.
I'd like to welcome you both to the cult of Josh.
Here is your initiation rings.
Take these plastic rings and heed them.
But don't let people know they're plastic.
Convince them it's stainless steel.
I've got a lot of comments saying that people think these are plastic rings and that it's
fake.
Or the neck pieces that you've seen me wear from time to time.
And these neck pieces you should wear.
These are our boyfriend destroyers.
We will use them to trick and lie and manipulate all the women that we can.
And a lot of people think my whole Hilary Duff thing is just for attention or that I'm
just really immature.
Each of you shall wear these ridiculous high school teenager t-shirts.
Because they will fit your gimmick.
But I don't like Hilary Duff.
And I don't like Pop Tarts.
Neither do I but who cares.
Now I am just like everyone else.
I'm no better than anyone else.
I will never make that claim.
You will never hear those words out of my mouth.
I'm so much better than everyone else.
Both of you, remove your hoods.
Unacceptable.
Your hair should always be in the Caesar cut style.
I want you to push your hair down now and go wet it.
And the reason for that is because I don't have all the answers.
Every single video I make is just things that I learn.
You could be teaching me.
You should be teaching me, where are your videos?
I've even heard people complain about the fact that I call myself The Josh.
Hey guys, have you ever heard of The Rock.
I got it from him.
Good.
Now each of you do my pose.
Excellent.
What's your excuse?
I can't raise my eyebrow.
That's ok.
There are quick fixes for that.
I'm a man made up of ideas.
Ideas that have been around since the dawn of time.
All I've done is collect them and present them in video form.
I am The Josh and underneath that I'm just Josh.
I'm just like everyone else.
Excellent.
Now for your names.
You shall be called Josh Jr. and you shall be called Venti Josh.
It's Starbucks for Large.
And maybe you could stop focusing on me just for a minute and try to focus on yourself
because when it all comes down to it, I want to see you succeed.
Like this video if you know who you are and you're proud of yourself.
As always guys, love and peace.
Rule number one, we will use our powers only to trick girls.
Rule number two, we will pretend that we know everything.
Rule number three, we will repeat the same stories over and over.
Rule number four, all the words I use in my videos you shall repeat, verbatim.
Rule number five, we will repeat the same stories over and over.
And rule number six, if you think you can turn it off, you can't.
