Arcs Involved:

Anthony Colombo, better known online as Tony Bame, is a TikTok influencer and Josh's most recent (and controversial) handler, taking Josh on a booze fueled tour of several cities and livestreaming with him on Parti. Prior to meeting Josh, he mainly filmed pothole videos in St. Louis. At one point in his life, he was part of a marijuana trafficking organization, which earned him probation for drug conspiracy charges. He also had a few minor acting roles. It is alleged that he has a child and is considered a deadbeat father.

It is alleged that Tony Bame has a felony conviction, and could not follow Joshua to Montreal after his Boston trip. Mr. Based is known to not like Tony.

Life Before Josh

Not much is known about Tony's upbringing and his childhood, as he has not shared much about his personal life on social media. The earliest information known is that Tony attended (and possibly graduated) Christian Brothers College High School, a Lasallian Catholic school in St. Louis. He pursued a career in film, and while he didn't land many roles, in 2018 he did end up starring in a commercial for Autohaus BMW, a car dealership in St. Louis.

On January 3, 2023, Tony posted a video expressing his distaste with a pothole in the middle of the road in St. Louis, starting the video with "St. Louis City, wouldn't you know it?" This was the beginning of what essentially is Tony's initial claim to fame: Tony will go somewhere in St. Louis (or somewhere else once in a while), call it the worst (or best) thing in America, and continue with his video. The format netted Tony some attention on social media, mostly within St. Louis, as well as with local media. The attention wasn't all positive, as some St. Louis residents were annoyed with his antics, as well as it being alleged that Tony would block lanes from drivers to film his videos. Despite this, Tony continued making videos and continues to do so in the present.

Josh Meeting Tony

Josh first met Tony during his trip to St. Louis.

Miami

Josh and Tony livestreamed on Parti in late April, they attended a hockey game.

Chicago

Josh and Tony livestreamed on Parti in early May, they attended a baseball game. Tony had to stand up for Josh multiple times against various local trolls, including a man who threw vinegar on Josh, and another who touched Josh's buttocks.

Los Angeles

Josh had a massive meltdown on the 4th of July of 2025 and was arrested. Tony has been trying to control Josh's alcoholism since then, and rarely streams with him, ending their massive Parti deal in January 2026 when they began to stream on a gambling website.

After Josh went to rehab, Tony gained access to his Instagram accounts and began posting old photos of Josh on it.
