An Epic Battle For The Name Josh Takes Place In Nebraska

Hundreds of people just gathered in a park in Nebraska to settle once and for all who gets to keep the name ‘Josh.’

It all started a year ago when pandemic boredom hit college student Josh Swain who started messaging all the other people who shared his name on social media, challenging them to a duel. Cut to this weekend where hundreds of people showed up at a place chosen at random to fight it out with pool noodles.

The winner was five-year-old Joshua Vinson Jr. who was honored with a paper crown and hoisted in the air for all the other Joshes to see.

The originator of the plans Josh Swain also took on another Josh Swain in a “grueling and righteous battle of Rock, Paper, Scissors” and earned the right to keep his name.
