Can alter egos, make us more confident? – Let’s talk about that. ((Intro Music)) – Good Mythical Morning – And welcome actor and comedian whose first one hour stand up special is out today on Amazon Prime video. It’s Trevor Wallace. – Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. – Do one of these. There it is. – That’s from Jeff Bezos himself. Amazon money now. – He told us to do that. – Yes, with his brain. – Congratulations on the special. – Thank you. – You’re known for playing a lot of different characters on the internet, right? That’s something that a lot of people have seen, I’m sure. And science shows that playing characters can actually make you more confident. And is that why you do it? – Yeah, because then you can blame somebody who’s not yourself. – In what you said. – Yeah. – I didn’t say that. I was channeling somebody. – It’s like a wholesome schizophrenia. I don’t know if I can say any of these things on here. – Yeah, you can say all of these things. – And more. – Well, because we can blame you. For saying it. – Is it me or is it a character? – I think, that was you. I mean, were you Batman? Oh, no. I was playing a Trevor. If he didn’t have a loving family, which I do. I have such a loving family, so. So that would be. – Trevor from a broken home. – Yes. – Science calls it the Batman effect, it is a proven scientific concept where adopting an alter ego can enhance confidence and determination while reducing anxiety. And, you know, I guess you don’t have to be a comedian to do that. You can just be somebody who wants to give a speech as Batman? – Right. Well, let’s test the Batman theory. You want to do that with us? – Please, let’s do it. It’s time for I Am Vengeance. I Am the Night.
