 **No, you shouldn't.** There is no good reason why Josh should be interviewed on your podcast or your YouTube channel.\\
 You will not be gaining fans, you'll gain the attention of trolls which mostly inhabit his "fanbase," you will uncover the ire and scorn of his entire fanbase for very transparently attempting to use Josh as a springboard for your internet success and tapping the glass. Aside from that, Josh is a day drinker who doesn't understand the concept of a schedule. The likelihood that you could wrangle him into showing up on time and being cognitively functional is very, very unlikely. More so, if your intention is to uncover new information you'll be similarly disappointed, as that's extremely unlikely to occur even if he's sober, which is also extremely unlikely.

 ==== Can I contact Josh to do a documentary? ====

 Josh was, at one point, an interesting young man. He had aspirations beyond his means, goals that he incrementally moved towards in his own strange ways. Every year presented a new saga and a new chapter in his life, fraught with strange characters and even stranger twists. He placed some measure of effort into the things he did, be it his beloved bicycle, his dummy Shon or his music career. He was more confidence yet more aware of his faults, not afraid to admit he had them. Josh was an interesting guy by all accounts and the Trappped documentary showcases this perfectly.
-**Josh isn't that person anymore.** Josh is now a balding 30-something who has neither the confidence nor the passion to pursue anything, much less a woman. His life is at a virtual standstill, Josh applies no effort to finding a job or pursuing any form of education, he spends his days eating copious amounts of fast food and drinking himself to death at all hours of the day. His passions lay dormant in his apartment, gathering dust from a bygone era. //His source of money, wand making, literally grows on trees and he still can't be bothered to put in the effort.// Josh wants to literally do nothing all day.

 ==== Is there any places that people can talk about Josh? ====
-**There are places, but they are often inhabited by people who only wish harm to Josh.** Outside of Josh's thread on KiwiFarms, the number of communities built around talking about Josh have dwindled in recent years. Due to the lack of neutral moderation, many devolved into hate-filled circlejerks consisting of people worse than Josh planning various ways to get him in trouble or killed. There was even a period where members of the KingCobraJFS subreddit attempted to DoorDash him so much vodka that he died of acute alcohol poisoning.\\

 ==== Can I give suggestions on how to troll Josh? ====
-**No.** Josh has been on YouTube for close to __fifteen years__ and for every year, he has been trolled. Whatever plan you have to troll Josh, he's already seen it and it's not going to work. Your plan isn't fresh or new, Josh has suffered it before or is so wary of trolling efforts that he'll see it coming a mile away, if his white knights haven't already. Keeping in mind how futile the effort is, the only person who can truly and effectively troll Josh is Josh. Josh is, unfortunately for him, his own worst enemy and will routinely ruin his own plans and the plans of others, suffering almost no consequences. You can't beat Josh at his own game, so don't try. Just let him exist and do the work for you.

 ==== Why is Josh called The BOY/a boglim/etc? ====
-**Results of troll interactions.** the nickname Boy/BOY comes from a stream where Josh went live after seething that someone had the audacity to text him "You'd better not go live, BOY!" \\
+**Results of troll interactions.** the nickname Boy/BOY comes from a stream where Josh went live after seething that someone had the audacity to text him "You'd better not go live, BOY!" as well as a long-running joke where trolls would pretend to be Homedad Clint. \\
 The phrase "Boglim" comes from a feud between once-friend-now-nemesis [[characters:CoolTaste]]. During one of the feuds, CoolTaste attempted to type "Cobra is a goblin" in a comment. However, as CoolTaste's vision is basically on par with a mole's, this would be misspelled as "Cobra is a boglim". And thus, the meme was born.

-Due to Josh's lack of general accountability for anything he does and his Aspergers, at many moments he has the sensibility of a teenager. He's cognizant enough to recognize what he's doing to himself and completely able to understand that he's at fault internally. He will even admit as such initially or when he's intoxicated. Publicly however, he will go to any lengths to blame anyone and anything that isn't him in any scenario, regardless of how ridiculous the excuse may be. Beyond that, Josh views the world through the lies he's created to justify it.

 Josh also has Bipolar I Disorder. During his childhood, he maintained a proper schedule of medication and he attended counseling regularly. He was, as his father said, doing quite fine until the age of 18-21, where he dropped all of his medication and therapy in favor of self-medication with substance abuse. It's clear Josh has had a cognitive decline, what's not clear is if this is the cause for it. Josh has subjected himself to years and years of substance abuse, fumes, a sedentary lifestyle and a lack of education.

 ==== Is Josh schizophrenic? ====
-**We don't know, but probably not.** Asperger's Syndrome and Schizophrenia are both disorders of neurodevelopmental origin with prominent genetic factors. In fact, they are often misdiagnosed as the other due to their overlapping symptoms. It's likely that Josh has Asperger's Syndrome and due to his reluctance to seek proper treatment it has steady become much worse. Josh has self-medicated with marijuana and marijuana substitutes for over a decade, he has slowly become a more worse alcoholic and has spend significant amounts of time around spray paint fumes without any sort of respiratory protection, which has likely rapidly accelerated his already deep decline cognitively.

 ===== Sex =====
@@ Line 121: / Line 125: @@
 **No,** but people imply otherwise to troll him and have trolled him with alleged under-age female accounts. Due to an event earlier in his life involving a young female lying about her age and Josh subsequently and quickly ending that brief relationship, Josh is now very explicit about not accidentally dating or sexually conversing with minors. It's entirely the reason why he always specifies adult woman as "of-age women."
+In particular, trolls like to reference the 2020 movie "Cuties" to Josh, insinuating that he's secretly a fan. This started because of the (rightfully placed) disgust that Josh expressed towards the movie. There have been no instances where he insinuated in any way that he liked the movie.
 ==== Has Josh had sex? ====
-**Surprisingly, yes. Several times, in fact.** His exact body count is estimated at 6 - Stephanie, Kayla, Judy, Ami, Summer, and Jessica. We are very aware of this fact because Josh makes it public knowledge every time he has sex, mostly to own the trolls.

 **Clint's trying his best with an ungrateful manchild.** There really isn't a simple answer to this question, despite what many people in the Cobraverse will tell you. Clint has shown time and again that he's willing to learn more about his son's shortcomings and generally help him move forwards in life, despite Josh's best efforts to be as lazy as possible.
-From a factual standpoint, Clint has won a custody battle for a young Josh from his allegedly abusive ex-wife, quit his job to study his son's mental illnesses, saved him from a homeless shelter after Job Corps kicked him out, helped him move multiple times, keeps tabs on his son's activity, replaced his BC Rich Warlock guitar when Josh smashed it in a violent rage, helped him make wands on his lathe, helped budget his funds during questionable purchase decisions(like pressuring him into not buying a SIX HUNDRED DOLLAR RAILROAD BELL), bought him his trailer, and generally been a silent partner in many of Josh's larger undertakings. If that makes Clint a bad dad, then we don't know what makes a good one.

He's not the best dad, but he puts in a lot more effort than many do.
 ==== Why doesn't Clint put Josh in a group home for people with Asperger's? ====
-**The last thing Josh needs is more authority figures telling him what to do.** Josh is proven to be at least mildly self-sufficient - in the same way a non-lethal poisonous mushroom could be considered "mildly edible" - and it's very likely this would destroy any and all rapport Clint has worked to build up with Josh in the last 15 years. \\
+**Clint cannot legally put Josh in a group home without his consent, and Josh will never want to be in one.**

 More importantly, there's no way the amount of masturbation, drugs, and rock n' roll that Josh does would ever fly in a group home. He would be more likely kicked out for blasting Ozzy Osbourne at 3 in the morning for a week straight and drunkenly howling at inanimate objects before 6 months had passed.

 **Homeboys are transient in the Cobraverse.** Unbelievably, not everyone directly connected to Josh is an unemployed bum(Just most of them). Many of Josh's Homeboys have lives, families, or prison sentences to serve. Josh also has a nasty habit of making enemies of his Homeboys - In fact, every named person in Josh's Villains and Foes tab was once a Homeboy.\\
-The only Homeboy it's guaranteed we're never going to see again is Homeboy Alex Anderson, who passed away.
+The only Homeboys we're guaranteed to never see again is Homeboy Alex Anderson, who passed away in 2019, Homeboy Ian, who passed away in 2025, and Homeboy Walt, who also died in 2025.

 **In attracting hot, gothic, of-age, alive women? No.** In replacement of showers? Probably not. Does it even make you smell good? Nobody knows.
+==== Is the current saga the worst one? ====
+**Yes, until it isn't.** Josh is prone to long periods of boredom followed by brief stints of lolcow action. You will go months with nothing new happening, before Josh suddenly goes live for 6 hours, three times in two days.
+==== Why do people keep wishing Josh a happy birthday? ====
+Josh's birthday is March 26th. Josh makes this very clear, and is prone to getting mad when people wish him a happy birthday on any other day of the year.
