During the early hours of July 14, 2024, [[Josh]] had a meltdown while streaming on Parti with [[Tony]] and [[Alyssa Manzella|Alyssa]]. The meltdown was triggered by a [[Frybagging|frybagger]], and Josh became very self-injurious, even started [[Self Harm|biting his knee]], slamming walls and even trying to eat a plant. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1lzh4r6/tony_starts_a_late_night_live_josh_gets_frybagged/</ref>

== Background ==
The stream began with a drunk Alyssa teasing Josh, claiming she was from Staten Island and mocking Josh by saying he wasn't from the Bronx. In response, Josh singsonged that Alyssa was from Jersey and said he hoped she would get sent to France. The situation escalated when a bystander fry-bagged Josh, who was already agitated. Josh told the fry-bagger to go get his head chopped off and threatened to send him to Italy. Another person fry-bagged Josh soon after, prompting him to run out and threaten to send them to Italy as well. He began repeating his catchphrases and threw something at them from below before Tony intervened and pulled him away.

At this point, Josh entered a full-blown meltdown. He intensified his behavior by hitting himself in the head and biting his hand as Tony tried to calm him down. They walked into a hotel, where Josh continued screaming his catchphrases, bent down to bite his knee while ascending the stairs, and had to be stopped by Tony from hitting his head again. Despite this, Josh struck his head against a glass door, withstanding the impact and yelling, "What did I do to them!?!" He then exclaimed that he wanted to go to Italy and, when questioned by Tony, bit an aloe plant and said "I don't know."

Josh continued to scream about being fry-bagged, repeatedly bit himself, and hit his head. As Alyssa tried to restrain him, Josh said she was hurting him and eventually kicked her. Alyssa retaliated with a kick, causing Josh to scream and attempt to attack her again before Tony intervened. Josh’s aggression then turned toward Tony while he screamed that Alyssa kicked him and repeatedly shouted, "WHY DO I ALWAYS GET HURT!?!"—before ironically biting his own hand again for 30 seconds.

Despite Tony’s attempts to calm him, Josh continued hitting himself. When someone mentioned calling the police, Josh said he hoped he got convicted for the [[4th Of July Arrest|felony]] he committed the week before. Tony then ended the stream.<ref>https://parti.com/video/94219</ref>

{{CW}}{{Doxxing}}{{SpecialMessage|Message=For more information on Daniel Larson's full saga, please check out our partner wiki, [https://wiki.lolcow.city/daniel-larson/Main_Page Daniel Larson Wiki].}}{{Infobox|image=DanielNYC.jpg|imageDesc=Daniel as seen around the time of his IRL interactions with Josh|name=Daniel Robert Larson|Knownas=Danderson|timeActive=c. May 2021 - c. April 2024|DOB=November 15, 1998|HeightnWeight=5'10" (177.8 cm), 119 lbs (54 kg)|Nationality=American|Race=White|Gender=Male|Arcs=}}{{Quote|quote=God left me unfinished.|author=Daniel, speaking about himself}}

'''Daniel Robert Larson''' (born November 15, 1998), is a 26-year-old mentally ill internet personality and convicted criminal who claims to be a singer-songwriter, celebrity, fashion model, and President of the [[United States]]. In 2020, Daniel gained a sizeable following due to his unusual style of content, unorthodox appearance, and erratic behavior. As Daniel's popularity increased, more and more people began to exploit his gullibility which led to delusions, meltdowns, and eventually intervention by law enforcement. The constant trolling resulted in Daniel having very high levels of paranoia, which would lead him to further spiral into lunacy. Daniel is known to have autism, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and, most notably, schizophrenia,<ref>https://wiki.lolcow.city/daniel-larson/Daniel_and_mental_health</ref> there is also a lot of evidence to suggest he is a pedophile.<ref>https://wiki.lolcow.city/daniel-larson/Pedophilia</ref> He also claims to be engaged to former ''America's Got Talent'' star, Grace VanderWaal, despite having never met her in person. Like Josh, Daniel gained prominence as a [[lolcow]].

After [[Josh Block|Joshua]] and [[Michael Quinn|Quinn]] met Daniel in May 2023, during the [[Michael Quinn Era]], Daniel mostly fell out of relevance in the lore, though he still maintains his own following despite being institutionalized for nearly a year.

== Early Interactions ==
In May 2021, before Daniel and Josh ever met in person, Josh announced that he would sign a record deal with "Daniel Larson Records," and collaborate with him to make a new song, however Josh canceled the deal shortly after he discovered Daniel's past.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@daniellarsonrecords/video/6959726072116071686</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/n7gchb/breaking_news_joshua_aka_worldoftshirts_has/</ref><ref>https://archive.org/details/a1hk6irp8tx61</ref>

Josh warned viewers to avoid Daniel at all costs and that he needed to be canceled. It is unknown how Josh was made aware of Daniel Larson, however it is likely that trolls reached out to him and claimed to be part of "Daniel Larson Records."

In May 2021, Daniel posted a TikTok in which he responded to a viral video of Josh screaming the lyrics to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z. In his post, Daniel says, "This message is to World of T-Shirts. In New Yorrrk!''"'' On January 3, 2023 Daniel posted another video in which he says, "This message goes out to Joshua, World of T-shirts. You need to go back [[World of T-Shirts|to selling t-shirts]] because you are not ready for this industry."

== Daniel in New York ==
Upon hearing news of Daniel’s plans to travel to New York City, fans and [[Michael Quinn]] wanted to see a meet-up between the two figures. On Reddit and TikTok, many people attempted to convince Daniel to find Josh and fight him. While it seemed neither were interested, Michael Quinn and both of their fan groups certainly were. The consensus was that even if this did happen it is likely that Daniel would back out, to the disappointment of many.

Later on, 'fans' would continually harass Daniel about doing a collaboration with World of T-Shirts. Many fighting with him, or taunting him by claiming that Josh was on his way to his current location, as well as a plethora of other creative ways to try to get under Daniel's skin.

After Daniel arrived in New York City, trolls attempted to arrange an 'accidental' meet-up between Daniel and Joshua. Daniel was sent to multiple locations that Joshua frequented, being under the impression that Grace VanderWaal would be at these locations. Josh expressed multiple times on TikTok that he does not wish to meet Daniel, and even had to leave establishments after Daniel was likely to show up at.

After the Daniel had an incident in Little India Bodega, Josh posted a TikTok in front of the bodega, announcing that Daniel Larson got punched in the nose at the Bodega, and that he, World of T-Shirts, runs New York City.

== The Meetup ==
[[File:Meetup.png|alt=Two specimens have a playdate|thumb|Two specimens have a playdate]]
On May 10, 2023 after Michael Quinn and Daniel had met two days prior, Quinn got Daniel and Josh to finally meet. Caught on film, as Daniel walked through the doors of the Starbucks at the World Financial Center in downtown New York. Daniel is visibly smiling in the video. The tension of the moment quickly faded as the two shook hands despite all the online arguments, Joshua then recorded his well known rendition of "Empire State of Mind" with Daniel in the background gleefully waving to the camera. The two discussed Josh's [[Alcoholism|drinking problems]], and Daniel's experiences along the west coast on a TikTok livestream.

== Cameo Feud ==
Around May 29, 2023 after creating a Cameo, Josh got an order in which a Daniel Larson fan paid to have him say that he was dating Grace Vanderwaal. Mistakenly however, Josh said that he was doing Grace instead. In what appears to be Daniel's response, posted around the same time, he announced that both World Of T-Shirts and Michael Quinn are banned from all of his concerts.

== Continuation of Drama ==
Daniel claimed Josh and Michael Quinn were creating "beef" with him on July 25, 2023.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/159tra6/found_this_on_daniel_larsons_youtube/</ref> A day earlier, he expressed wanting Josh to be sent to North Korea.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/158sm2r/the_president_has_spoken/</ref> On August 5, Daniel claimed that "''Rorld''" of T-Shirts' penis fell off after he went skinny dipping in the Hudson River.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/15jegrv/how_did_daniel_get_this_info/</ref> On October 8, Daniel said "Fuck you, Michael Quinn!"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1730ev3/daniel_larson_calls_out_quinn_for_his_hypocrisy/</ref> and called out Michael Quinn's alleged control over Josh, emphasizing his alcoholism.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/17pjexn/bros_keeping_tabs/</ref>

Josh was aware of Daniel's probation in November 2023. On December 20th 2023, Joshua and Michael Quinn would do a sit down interview with BowereyBoi. When Daniel Larson was brought up, Joshua said that Daniel was nothing but trouble and when asked to describe Daniel, Josh would say "BAD."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/18mfadx/world_of_tshirts_throws_more_shade_at_daniel/</ref>

On December 28th 2023, in a YouTube community post, Daniel once again blamed Michael Quinn for Josh's alcoholism and says Quinn harrasses him (which many of his fans would probably agree with.)<ref>https://archive.ph/OoLJC</ref> In February 2024, Daniel reacted to Josh's [[Subway Arrest]] and was surprised, again blaming Quinn with being involved.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/Daniellarson/comments/1ahg0sw/daniel_blaming_michael_quinn_for_joshua_block/</ref> On April 23, Daniel would state that Josh's "charges" needed to be lifted and Michael Quinn to be "charged" by the "court's".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1cbk256/daniel_larson_speaks_up_again/</ref>

Fish Stomping Incident

2025-07-10T06:56:41Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Boborilla

{{CW}}{{Credibility|subject=[[Joshua Block]]|reason=Joshua has provided conflicting statements about the incident, raising doubts about his credibility. This applies to all claims made regarding the fish and the circumstances surrounding the event.}}{{Transcript Needed}}
{{Quote|text=I'm gonna bash his brains out!|author=Josh while stomping the fish}}
[[File:Fish Stomping Incident.png|alt=Josh, gleefully torturing and murdering an innocent fish.|thumb|Josh, gleefully torturing and murdering an innocent fish.]]
Perhaps the earliest and most infamous incident, the '''June 2021 Fish-Stomping Incident''' occurred when [[Josh Block|Josh]] was filmed stomping on a live fish until it died, while laughing gleefully. This footage, posted around June 2, 2021, quickly gained attention online. In the video, Josh appeared to show little concern for the fish, smiling and seemingly enjoying the act, even making cruel jokes while doing it. This event is widely regarded as possibly the earliest example of Josh’s disregard for life and [[Animal Cruelty|animal cruelty]], marking a significant moment in his online history. This event is also notable as it occured during the [[Coffee and Boba Era]], before the [[alcoholism]] began.

== Background ==
Josh was at the peak of his mainstream TikTok fame at the time of this incident, having recently appeared on [[Sidetalk]], where he declared, "I got Louis Vuitton because I'm [[BANNED]] from the Gucci store."

==The Incident==
[[File:FishStompVideo.jpg|thumb|Screenshot from the viral video of Joshua stomping the fish.]]
The incident took place near the intersection of W Main Street and Holbrook Road in Patchogue, New York. A fan who had recently caught a bluegill fish approached Josh and asked him to release the fish back into the water on video. What was intended to be a lighthearted or wholesome moment instead turned into a disturbing episode that would tarnish Josh’s public image.

Instead of releasing the live fish, Josh grabbed it and ran a few steps away before violently throwing it onto the ground. He proceeded to stomp on it repeatedly while laughing, a behavior rarely seen from him. He then picked up the fish and slammed it onto the pavement multiple times, making comments such as, "The dirty pond isn't right for you" and "I'm gonna bash his brains out." Even after the fish was clearly lifeless, Josh continued to stomp on it. He concluded the episode with a macabre joke, calling the mangled fish, "your tuna salad." The fan who handed him the fish initially laughed awkwardly but quickly grew uncomfortable, audibly expressing disbelief and distress.

==Response from Fans==
{{Quote|He accused me, he framed me. I apologize.|||author=[[Josh]], half-heartedly addressing the fish-stomping controversy during a livestream.}}The incident became widely criticized, and Josh later responded with several apologies. Josh's initial response was defensive and [[Compulsive Lying|inconsistent]]. In various videos and livestreams, he claimed the fish was dead, accused the fan of trying to exploit him, and said he had been dared to act. In a separate video, he asked the public to move on and stop the backlash. At one point, he stated he would "call the police for bullying me" and expressed concern that the controversy would ruin his reputation.

Many viewers speculated about Josh’s mental state, with some suggesting sociopathic tendencies due to the apparent enjoyment he displayed. Others attempted to rationalize the behavior by citing his autism or suggesting the fish was already dead, though the video showed clear signs the fish had been alive.

The controversy escalated when a New York City hotel Josh was staying at was SWATted after someone falsely reported a bomb threat during his livestream. This led to Josh being kicked out of the hotel, though the manager later apologized and provided compensation.

=== Ban ===
Josh's primary TikTok account, @worldoftshirts, was temporarily banned following mass reports, prompting him to post a tearful apology on an alternate account. The apology focused largely on his desire to recover his account rather than expressing sincere remorse for his actions.

=== The Livestream ===
Josh’s livestream response became a focal point of the incident. In it, he oscillated between defiance and pleas for forgiveness:
* "I was set up by the guy recording me—it was a dead fish, I swear!"
* "You can’t cancel me; I’ve got a monopoly on NYC roaming videos!"
* "Just forget about it, stop hating on me—I didn’t mean it like that."

Throughout the stream, Josh appeared agitated, repeatedly asking viewers to drop the issue while doubling down on his claim of being framed. The livestream only fueled further debate, with many viewers unconvinced by his explanations.

===Aftermath===
Following the incident, Josh faced significant online backlash, with users accusing him of animal cruelty and questioning his character. His apologies were met with skepticism, particularly after his TikTok comment about being "dared" surfaced, which many saw as an attempt to deflect responsibility. The swatting incident added another layer of chaos, though it was quickly resolved with the hotel’s apology.

The event marked a turning point for Josh’s online reputation. While he retained some supporters who accepted his "set up" narrative, a larger portion of the community viewed the incident as a clear example of his disregard for accountability. His claim of an NYC roaming video "monopoly" became a point of mockery, and the controversy lingered as a stain on his digital presence.

[Joshua is on a livestream, addressing the fish-stomping video. His tone is defensive and erratic.]

Joshua: "Alright, listen up, everyone—I’m tired of this hate. That fish? It was already dead, okay? The guy recording told me it was dead, and I was set up! This was a total setup to cancel me!"

[He pauses, looking at the camera with a smirk.]

Joshua: "And guess what? You can’t cancel me. I’ve got a monopoly on NYC roaming videos—nobody does it like me. So just forget about it, alright? Stop hating!"

[He grows more animated, raising his voice.]

Joshua: "I didn’t even do anything wrong! They dared me to do it—someone dared me! And now you’re all acting like I’m some monster. It’s ridiculous!"

[He sighs, running a hand through his hair.]

Joshua: "Look, I’m sorry if it upset you, but it wasn’t my fault. Just drop it already—I’m not going anywhere!"

Traveling

Aviv: Reverted edits by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Boborilla

One of [[Josh Block|Josh's]] well known desires/[[Autism|stims]] is to visit 30 countries, and as a result he has recently taken up travelling. Although Josh appears to enjoy his vacations, he is nearly always harassed by trolls, which usually results in a crashout. Josh usually spends most of his time sitting at the hotel bar drinking and ordering seafood, instead of actually seeing the place he is in.

In early September 2024, shortly after coming back from [[San Francisco]], a video of [[Josh Block|Josh]] surfaced showing him standing in the middle of a train carriage full of passengers in [[New York City]] with his penis exposed urinating into an empty red Beatbox carton while staring down.

''Main article: [[United Arab Emirates]]''

On April 8th 2025, Josh flew to Dubai in the [[United Arab Emirates]] for a vacation, he had previously announced in April 2024. Upon arrival on April 9th, Joshua was denied entry into the country by the Dubai authorities for unknown reasons, but likely due to arriving there drunk, or his history of assault and public indecency. Joshua was deported from the country and arrived back in [[New York City|New York]] the following day.

=== Venice Beach Detainment (May 2025) ===
On the 16th of May 2025, Josh was briefly detained, either due to him attacking multiple people on a pier or due to swatting.

'''Alex Novell''' is a New York-based filmmaker and documentarian known for his work on internet personalities, particularly within the World of T-Shirts saga. He gained attention for featuring in streams with [[Joshua Block]] and [[Mr. Based]] before producing the YouTube documentary ''The Twisted Tale of Mr Based & WorldOfTShirts''. With over nine years of experience in video production, motion graphics, and social media content creation, Novell currently serves as a Senior Video Producer at Media Matters for America. His documentaries have sparked both praise and significant criticism within online communities.

== Background ==
Alex Novell graduated from New York University, where he studied film and media production, laying the groundwork for his career in storytelling and visual content creation.<ref>https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-novell-80673210b/</ref> Early in his career, he worked as a freelance video editor and motion graphics designer, contributing to various digital projects. This experience shaped his skills in narrative development and technical production, which he later applied to documentary filmmaking focused on internet culture. His professional journey led him to his current role at Media Matters for America, where he produces high-quality video content for media and advocacy purposes.

== Documentary Work ==
Novell’s documentaries often explore the lives of controversial online figures, blending exclusive footage with in-depth interviews. His key works include:

'''''WorldOfTShirts: Living with Autism and Alcoholism in New York City'' (April 12, 2024)''':

This film profiles [[Joshua Block]], featuring a detailed interview with Block and additional commentary from [[Michael Quinn]]. It examines Block’s struggles with autism and alcoholism amidst his public life in New York City. While some praised its candid approach, others criticized it for potentially exploiting Block’s vulnerabilities for viewership.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ixvWNsa6ks</ref>

'''''The Twisted Tale of Mr Based & WorldOfTShirts'' (November 1, 2024)''':

Focusing on the dynamic between [[Joshua Block]] and [[Jason Itzler]] (Mr. Based), this documentary tackles themes of exploitation, alcoholism, and the pitfalls of internet fame. It includes rare footage of Itzler and has been lauded for its investigative depth. However, critics have accused Novell of bias and sensationalizing the subjects’ struggles, with some labeling the work as opportunistic.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUlMBuqgATc</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/1ghl3q1/the_twisted_tale_of_mr_based_worldoftshirts/</ref>

'''''Other Works''':

== Controversies ==
Novell’s career has been marked by several high-profile controversies:

'''Alleged Assault by [[Jason Itzler]] (August 2024)''':

While filming for ''The Twisted Tale of Mr Based & WorldOfTShirts'', Novell was reportedly assaulted by [[Jason Itzler]] with a tripod, sustaining facial injuries. The incident followed Novell’s attempt to record Itzler without consent, escalating tensions after Novell uncovered a police report linking Itzler to the death of [[Death of Julia Sumnicht|Julia Sumnicht]]. Photos of Novell’s injuries circulated online.

'''Ethical Concerns (May 2023)''':

The Gatestone Institute published an article accusing Novell of deceptive practices, alleging he misrepresented himself as a current New York University student to secure resources or interviews for a documentary. Though unrelated to his recent work, this claim has cast doubt on his ethical standards, prompting debates about his credibility as a filmmaker.<ref>https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/19681/alex-novell</ref>

== Community Engagement ==
Novell actively engages with audiences on platforms like YouTube, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter), where his work elicits a wide range of reactions:

'''Positive Feedback''':

Some community members commend the depth and exclusivity of his documentaries.

'''Criticisms''':

Negative sentiments are equally vocal. On r/WorldOfTShirts, a user described him as “insufferable” despite acknowledging his documentaries’ quality, while others have accused him of exploiting vulnerable individuals like Joshua Block for personal gain. Comments often highlight perceived arrogance or ethical lapses, with one user noting, “He’s just profiting off other people’s misery.”<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ghbpdl/the_twisted_tale_of_mr_based_worldoftshirts/</ref> Another user labeled him a "greasy weasel looking fuck."

Novell frequently shares updates and clips on X, amplifying his visibility and fueling further discussion.

Doozycruz's content primarily consists of trolling people in New York City, he could be classified as a "nuisance streamer". Doozycruz is of White Brazilian and Sephardic Jewish descent.

Doozycruz first came into the WOTS universe when he began sniping [[Jason Itzler|Mr Based]] in various locations in and around the East Village in New York City. The first few interactions were of Doozycruz plastering posters with Mr Based's wanted poster. Mr Based promptly assaulted Doozycruz in Washington Square Park in a later incident. Doozycruz's first interaction with Josh was in the [[Liquid Josh Meltdown]] where he imitated Joshua while wearing a captain's hat, Joshua began running in genuine fright, almost getting run over by passing vehicles. After this, Doozycruz became a notorious [[Trolls|troll]] and continued to snipe Josh in various different circumstances.

Doozycruz then sniped Josh a second time while he was streaming with Mr Based and Carldo. The following crashout is now known as the "[https://communities.win/c/IP2Always/p/199huknWTQ/doozycruz-stream-snipes-mr-based/c Pizza Crashout]" and is widely considered to be one of the greatest Joshua Block crashouts yet.

Since then, Doozycruz has on occasion sniped both Joshua and Mr Based.

Doozycruz is a friend of fellow troll and live-streamer S0gekng.

OneSonic is an IRL [https://communities.win/c/IP2Always IP2] livestreamer who has streamed with [[Joshua Block|Josh]] on multiple occasions. OneSonic was one of [[Mr. Based]]'s early IRL streaming collaborators, and according to Based 'discovered' him and helped him start streaming. There was conflict between OneSonic, Josh and MrBased for spoiling the ruse of their party's escape from [[Quad Recording Studios]], while [[Doozycruz]] waited outside to accost Josh.

== Signficance in the lore ==
OneSonic was part of the harassment of [[Alex Novell]] that led to Mr. Based's warrant and violation of his restraining order.

OneSonic introduced [[Letty]] to Josh and Mr. Based.

He has streamed with [[Doozycruz]] and [[S0gekng]] on separate occasions outside of his streaming activities with Mr. Based. As of April 10th, 2025, OneSonic has broken off ties permanently with Mr. Based due to his bad reputation effecting his career prospects as the Fishtank Live crew told him to stop associating with him.

{{Stub}}

There are many characters in the World of T-Shirts universe that interact with [[Josh Block|Joshua Block]] in a specific manner in order to elicit [[Meltdowns|a reaction]] from him. These characters are colloquially known as '''trolls''', some of which are small streamers attempting to increase their following.

== Douglas Skates ==
{{Main|Douglas Skates}}
'''Douglas Skates''' is a YouTube prankster from Las Vegas, who has successfully caused Josh to have a major crash out on each of his two trips to Vegas, both of which became content for Douglas' YouTube channel. He has also made other Josh Block related videos, such as one where he blasts the audio of Josh's crash outs in a library.

==Doozycruz==
{{Main|Doozycruz}}
'''Doozycruz''', a.k.a. Doozy, is an IRL IP2 live-streamer on the YouTube and Kick platforms. Doozycruz primarily makes content walking the streets of NYC interacting with homeless people and intoxicated bar patrons. Doozycruz is a notable troll and nuisance streamer within the NYC IP2 IRL live-streaming community.

On many occasions, Doozycruz has streamed his interactions with Josh, often resulting in crashouts. Joshua is extremely [[Josh and Mental Health|paranoid]] as a result of this, and considers almost every person wearing a ski mask to be Doozy.
==S0gekng==
'''S0gekng''' is a live-streamer on Kick known for IRL IP2 live-streaming content as well as desktop "War Room" streams. After one of Mr. Based's arrests, S0gekng approached Mr. Based's apartment window and demonstrated that it was unlocked.

S0gekng was contracted to give [[Jason Itzler|Mr. Based]] the lawsuit papers filed by Alex Novell, but Mr. Based decided to stay in his apartment for hours, eventually calling the ninth precinct of the NYPD in the East Village to promptly arrest S0gekng on undisclosed charges. S0gekng did not commit any crimes during his livestreams, and was released shortly afterwards.

== Zokmonkey ==

One of the countries that [[Josh Block|Josh]] has visited in the past.

Josh visited Paris twice.

== Red Kiss Incident ==
One notable incident happened at night on March 28th during Josh's multi-country trip to Europe in early 2024.

Josh went to a 'bar' known as the Red Kiss, in [[wikipedia:Pigalle,_Paris#:~:text=Pigalle%20is%20famous%20for%20being,Pig%20Alley%22%20by%20Allied%20soldiers.|Pigalle]], a well known Parisian red light district that features many sex shops, theatres and adult shows. Josh uploaded a video to TikTok of himself with the 'bar' in the background, and a caption reading "Got Price Gouged in Paris", complaining that the 'bar' charged him "€100 to hookup and get a cocktail", and it was a "rip off". As Josh was complaining to the camera, you can see two women in the background just outside the 'bar' looking at him, with one of the women throwing tomatoes at him with some force. All the while in the video, Josh is seemingly completely oblivious that he is getting tomatoes thrown at him.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftshirts/video/7351540582877121834?q=joshua%20block%20paris&t=1751448289883</ref>

There was speculation at the time on what Josh could have done to have had this happen to him; his poor [[hygiene]] and [[Autism|stubborn nature]] being a good contender. Although as his [[sexuality]] has evolved, with Josh being later involved in various other [[Doll Incident|questionable]] and [[Gianna Jean|morally insufficient]] sexual activities, in hindsight this incident may have been caused by Josh sexually assaulting someone in the 'bar', although this is just speculation and is not confirmed.

On Google Maps, there are [https://maps.app.goo.gl/4mgKSZ8GVPk1PHNd8 multiple reviews left by World Of T-Shirts fans] referring to this incident.

On the 27th of September, 2024, [[Josh Block|Josh]] and [[Jason Itzler|Mr. Based]] visited Coney Island whilst live streaming.

Despite lacking any musical talent, Josh frequently shows up to recording studios (usually with a manager), and records sloppy autotuned covers of songs that have the words changed so the song is about alcohol, or something alcohol related. Josh's most well known songs include [[17:00 Somewhere]] and [[Whiskey Neat]].

Many of the songs that were recorded and processed at [[Quad Recording Studios]] were livestreamed with [[Mr. Based]], featuring countless crashouts and incidents, in which led to both Josh and Mr. Based to be banned from the studio in January 2025.

'''Lonzo''': Aye Josh, what you do, you got a misdemeanor?

'''Josh''': I was- I trespassed... into the back of, like, the train car.

'''Josh''': I was doing this thing, you know, urbex. You know what that is? It's a very, it's like a social media trend.

'''Josh''': I snuck into the back of the train car- You know, urbex? Like, that's when you basically explore, like, abandoned places. Or rooftops. Or somewhere where you're not supposed to be.

'''Josh''': They arrested me. I had to, I got fingerprinted. I had to go to court.

'''Josh''': They let me off with a deferred adjudication. You know what that is? That's like when you're, you just have to be good for a certain amount of time. And it'll seal it.

'''Lonzo''': Hey, Josh. Was you- you was nervous when they arrested you?

'''Josh''': I was shaking.

'''Lonzo''': You were shaking? Like, did you pee yourself?

'''Josh''':I was like, what's going- Like, so I was in L.A. the night before my court date. And I took a red-eye home so that I could go to my court date. And I was shitting myself in that courtroom.

'''Josh''': I didn't know if I was going to go to jail. Or they could have, what they could have done is they could have put me on probation.

'''Josh''': And I wouldn't be allowed to leave. You can drink. But you can't leave, like, the state.

'''Josh''': I never went to, like, actual jail. I was just in, like, the holding place in the station.

'''Josh''': They kept me there for two whole hours.And I was like, what the hell's taking so long?

'''Lonzo''': And you still had it on though? Did you have the Gucci belt? Did you have it?

'''Josh''': I didn't have any of that yet.

'''Lonzo''': What did you have?

'''Josh''': Just a cell phone, an iPhone, a [[The Captains Hat|hat]], and my wallet.

== Mugshot ==
[[File:JoshMugshot2024.jpg|thumb|Josh's "mugshot" from the arrest.|271x271px]]
A mugshot was "released" following Josh's arrest, but it's safe to assume that it was fake or staged:

* Josh was visibly smiling; but Josh later claimed he was "shaken".
* There was no actual source for the mugshot.
* Mugshots are rarely released in New York, plus Josh was never actually incarcerated.
* The look of the mugshot is not consistent with other New York mugshots, (for an example, see [[Mr. Based]]'s<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1j594qc/sad_based_hours_ha_jason_mugshot_from_2502_arrest/</ref>) especially the massive drop shadow.

== Court Date ==
Immediately following the arrest, Josh confirmed he had a court date in mid-February, eventually confirmed by the community looking up public records.<ref name=":0" /><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1arv6ex/josh_is_officially_in_the_nys_court_system/</ref> However, Josh was in California at the time, and confirmed having to take a "red-eye" flight home.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1arxi7r/joshs_response_to_having_court_in_the_morning/</ref> Josh attended court and his case would be dismissed following 3 Manhattan Justice Opportunities (a restorative justice program) meetings; in other words, Josh did not suffer actual consequences from the arrest and merely got a slap on the wrist, likely due to his [[autism]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1askpb2/everything_went_well_in_court_today_just_3_mjo/#lightbox</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1asczil/josh_has_to_attend_3_mjo_meetings/</ref>

Homeless Arc

2025-07-10T06:55:59Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Boborilla

The Homeless Arc was a period from early to mid 2024, where [[Josh Block|Josh]] was frequently without accommodation and resorted to sleeping in trains and subway stations.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fbgk7y/homelessness_should_be_a_crime_the_edit_youve_all/</ref> This Arc occurred between and during the [[Michael Quinn Era]] and the [[Mr. Based Era]]. It should be noted that while Josh currently has hotels to sleep in every night (courtesy of [[Mr. Based]]), he still does not have permanent accommodation, which means he is still technically homeless.

The Homeless Arc was filled with [[Meltdowns|incidents]], [[Arrests & Encounters with the Law|encounters with law enforcement]], and vagrancy.

Josh and Mental Health

Aviv: Reverted edits by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Jblock

{{HealthDisclosure}}{{Stub}}[[File:Josh Goblin Face.png|alt=The face of a man who has mental stability and inner peace|thumb|The face of a man who has mental stability and inner peace]]{{Quote|quote=THERE'S MEN AFTER ME! THEY HAVE KNIVES!

No one is after you Josh!|author=Josh and Mr. Based}}
It is well known that [[Josh Block|Josh]] has [[autism]] which results in stimming, significant learning disabilities, difficulty reading emotions and social cues, and odd behavioral patterns. He also is afflicted with paranoia, believing there are people lurking everywhere waiting to get his passport or murder/kidnap/arrest him. Many believe that he may have bipolar disorder due to his sudden and frequent mood swings, or possibly schizophrenia as he has had [[Hallucinations "Make it stop" Incident|hallucinations]] in the past and has believed that [[16/9/24 Incident|men were after him with knives]]. Josh is also known to [[Self Harm|frequently harm himself]] and others.

Josh is prescribed Seroquel, an antipsychotic used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression. This is one of few items Josh considers essential.

Josh is also afflicted with [[alcoholism]] and a strong [[Josh's Nicotine Addiction|nicotine addiction]] that he satisfies by regular smoking, vaping, and zyn use. He has also used [[Galaxy Gas Stream|galaxy gas]] in the past which resulted in him hallucinating bright flashes of light.

== Addiction ==
{{Main|Josh and Drugs}}
Addiction is a neuropsychological disorder characterized by a persistent and intense urge to use a drug or engage in a behavior that produces natural reward, despite substantial harm and other negative consequences. Repetitive drug use can alter brain function in synapses similar to natural rewards like food or falling in love in ways that perpetuate craving and weakens self-control for people with pre-existing vulnerabilities. This phenomenon – drugs reshaping brain function – has led to an understanding of addiction as a brain disorder with a complex variety of psychosocial as well as neurobiological factors that are implicated in the development of addiction. While mice given cocaine showed the compulsive and involuntary nature of addiction, for humans this is more complex, related to behavior or personality traits.

Josh displays classic signs of addiction, which include compulsive engagement in rewarding stimuli, ''preoccupation'' with substances or behavior, and continued use despite negative consequences. Habits and patterns associated with addiction are typically characterized by immediate gratification(short-term reward), coupled with delayed deleterious effects (long-term costs).

== Paranoia ==
Paranoia is an instinct or thought process that is believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety, suspicion, or fear, often to the point of delusion and irrationality. Paranoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs, or beliefs of conspiracy concerning a perceived threat towards oneself (e.g., ''"Everyone is out to get me"''). Paranoia is distinct from phobias, which also involve irrational fear, but usually no blame.

Josh is always in a constant state of paranoia, and holds a belief that there are people everywhere waiting to steal his phone, passport, money or personal effects. This possibly stems from [[trolls]], who frequently harass or threaten him, and leak his location.

On September 6, 2024 Josh stated he was going to purchase a firearm. This statement was most likely due to his persecution complex.[https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jzkfon/throwback_to_josh_contemplating_purchasing_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button]

== Intermittent explosive disorder ==
Intermittent explosive disorder (IED), or episodic dyscontrol syndrome (EDS), is a mental disorder characterized by explosive outbursts of anger or violence, often to the point of rage, that are disproportionate to the situation (e.g., impulsive shouting, screaming, or excessive reprimanding triggered by relatively inconsequential events). Impulsive aggression is not premeditated, and is defined by a disproportionate reaction to any provocation, real or perceived, that would often be associated with a choleric temperament. Some individuals have reported affective changes prior to an outburst, such as tension, mood changes, and energy changes.

Josh is known to fly into a furious rage within seconds, which usually ends with him [[Josh and Violence|throwing or smashing objects, or hitting/kicking/biting someone]]. One notable example is the [[Thanksgiving Meltdown]].

== Hallucinations ==
{{Main|Hallucinations "Make it stop" Incident}}
A hallucination is a perception in the absence of an external stimulus that has the compelling sense of reality. They are distinguishable from several related phenomena, such as dreaming (REM sleep), which does not involve wakefulness; pseudohallucination, which does not mimic real perception, and is accurately perceived as unreal; illusion, which involves distorted or misinterpreted real perception; and mental imagery, which does not mimic real perception, and is under voluntary control. Hallucinations also differ from "delusional perceptions", in which a correctly sensed and interpreted stimulus (i.e., a real perception) is given some additional significance.

In some past instances, Josh has experienced hallucinations (Notably the [[Hallucinations "Make it stop" Incident|"Make it stop" Incident]] and the [[Galaxy Gas Stream]]).

== Pathological lying ==
{{Main|Compulsive Lying}}
Pathological lying, also known as pseudologia fantastica (Latin for "fantastic pseudology"), is a chronic behavior characterized by the habitual or compulsive tendency to lie. It involves a pervasive pattern of intentionally making false statements with the aim to deceive others, sometimes for no clear or apparent reason, and even if the truth would be beneficial to the liar. People who engage in pathological lying often report being unaware of the motivations for their lies.

Josh is known to lie about getting sober, and is often encouraged by his handlers to lie.

Josh and Sex

2025-07-10T06:55:56Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Vxir

{{CW}}{{Stub}}
{{Quote|quote=They put the condom on me.|author=Joshua Block}}

The '''sexuality''' of [[Joshua Block]] has been a matter of debate within the community, with most believing that Josh is unlikely to be straight/heterosexual.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1iwcrt9/what_is_joshs_sexual_orientation/</ref> For a long time, the most common speculation is of him being asexual, as he shows little to no interest in sex whatsoever. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/s/X8opjonqHD</ref> Despite this, he seems to be more comfortable around men than women.

In late 2024 and 2025 onwards, Josh has become more sexually active - including non-consensually motorboating [[Gianna Jean]], supposedly losing his virginity to [[Claire]] on two occasions, and simulating violence and oral sex on a [[Doll Incident|child sized doll]]. The recent events suggest in general that Joshua has inadequate control over his sexual urges, and many in the community have speculated that he even may harbour pedophilic thoughts and tendencies - although it must be stressed for the sake of neutrality that Josh has not been known to have aforementioned pedophilic characteristics in the past, and the [[Doll Incident]] may have been a clear demonstration of Josh’s mental deficits and lack of social awareness due to [[autism]].

== Background ==
''See also: [[Wikipedia:Autism and LGBTQ identities]]''

[[Autism|Autism spectrum disorder (ASD)]] can influence how individuals perceive, express, and interpret social and romantic relationships. Autistic people may experience sexuality differently due to variations in social communication, sensory sensitivities, and cognitive processing.

In other words, since Josh is autistic, his understanding and experiences of sexuality and romance will be notably different than non-autistic people's.

== List of incidents ==
The following is an incomplete list of moments related to Joshua Block's sexuality or romantic life:

* Josh has explicitly claimed he's never had an erection in his life, also claiming it's because he's never had a girlfriend.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fpkgiq/josh_cant_get_hard/</ref>
** More recently, he claims he doesn't know why he can't get an erection.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jifgy5/i_dont_know_why_i_cant_get_hard/</ref>
* Josh has been famously [[BANNED|B-A-N-N-E-D]] from Tinder, so he moved to Grindr, a LGBTQ+ dating/hookup app.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1i6xnts/on_grindr_but_not_gay/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13rbde0/grindr_on_josh_blocks_phone/</ref>

** In one instance, Josh seemed unusually excited from seeing "nude guys dancing", then proceeded to stim.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/133vzui/josh_realizing_hes_at_a_gay_bar_then_resets_to/</ref>
* Josh posted a video unintentionally featuring gay porn being played on TVs at a bar.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1is72ju/back_when_the_captain_posted_gay_porn/</ref>
* [[Mr. Based]] asked Josh if his penis was circumcised, to which Josh replied "probably".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jj5mvl/based_asks_josh_if_hes_circumcised/</ref>
* During the [[Danny Duncan]] collab, Josh appeared to be fascinated after Danny began urinating in his direction.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1i0v7lj/gay_confirmed/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1i109rm/danny_duncan_pees_on_josh/</ref>
* Josh had created an [[Social Media Accounts|OnlyFans account]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/12septp/guys_its_real/</ref>
* In a visit to [[Netherlands|Amsterdam]], Josh notably went to the red light district, where "they put the condom on [him]".<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/15uih89/joshua_lost_his_virginity_to_a_prostitute_in/</ref> Josh apparently paid €100 for a handjob, and refused to pay €200 for sex.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1gnbqxg/the_infamous_amsterdam_hooker/</ref>
* Mr. Based is obsessed with Josh losing his virginity, to the point where he's hired a "girlfriend" for Josh, [[Claire]].
** On January 15, 2025, Josh supposedly lost his virginity to Claire.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1i2f82l/joshs_virginity_gets_taken/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1i2kd6x/josh_block_losing_his_virginity_summary/</ref>
** On April 6, 2025, Mr. Based streamed with Josh and Claire again, this time where Josh supposedly had vaginal sex with her, after Based provided a Magnum XL condom and two rhino pills.
* Josh "motorboated", physically assaulted and 'searched' [[Gianna Jean]] on stream.
* Josh dismembered, hit, undressed, spanked and simulated oral sex on a [[Doll Incident|child sized doll]].
* When Josh went to the red light district of [[France|Paris]] in March 2024, he was thrown tomatoes at him by a woman by the door of a 'bar'.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftshirts/video/7351540582877121834?q=joshua%20block%20paris&t=1751448289883</ref>

Compulsive Lying

2025-07-10T06:55:55Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Jblock

One of [[Josh Block|Josh's]] signature traits is lying, exaggerating, or fabricating stories, often to enhance his image or avoid responsibility. This behavior aligns with compulsive lying, a habitual tendency to deceive without clear motive, and is evident in several documented incidents:

===Stomping A Fish To Death (June 2021)===
{{Main|Fish Stomping Incident}}
In this incident, Josh claimed the fish he stomped was already dead and that he was "set up" by the person recording him, asserting he was "dared to do it" to shift blame. However, evidence contradicts this, showing he purchased a live fish and expressed intent to "smash its brains out," indicating a clear fabrication to evade accountability.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMfExZ1SVXE</ref><ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHJzNHzNxWQ</ref>
===Financial Inconsistencies (April 2024 and September 2024)===
Josh has made inconsistent statements about his finances. On April 19, 2024, he commented on TikTok, "I owe 9k I have a payment plan now," and later, on April 22, 2024, said, "I don’t know if I’m gonna have the money to travel anymore," suggesting financial hardship.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1c616fv/josh_owes_irs_9000/</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftshirts/video/7359423955356159275</ref> Yet, on September 5, 2024, during the [[Harassing The Homeless|homeless harassment incident]], he boasted, "I have a career, I’m successful," only to later claim, "I work seven days a week, I work my butt off and only make $5000 a month. Do you know how poor I am? I live paycheck to paycheck." These contradictions suggest exaggeration or lying to manipulate perceptions of his success or victimhood.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fagk0x/and_he_wonders_why_he_keeps_getting_assaulted/</ref>
===LIRR Spitting & Screaming Attack (April 1, 2024)===
[[Michael Quinn]] claimed Josh was attacked by "thugs" trying to steal his phone, hat, and wallet on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR), and that Josh "flexed and roared like a beast" to defend himself. Videos, however, show Josh spitting at teenagers and screaming, with no evidence of an attack against him. A Reddit user reported Josh was locked in the bathroom briefly, after which he overreacted by spitting and screaming, suggesting any narrative of victimhood Josh may have supported was exaggerated or false.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1btphoq/josh_spits_at_someone_on_the_lirr/</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@elleasiaxxx/video/7353133172940426538</ref>

These examples highlight a pattern where Josh fabricates or exaggerates stories, whether to bolster his image (claiming success or a "monopoly" on NYC roaming videos), avoid blame (fish incident), or garner sympathy (financial struggles). Additional instances may be detailed in community discussions, such as the Reddit thread referenced below.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1flaod4/nobody_asked_for_it_but_heres_the_worldoftshirts/</ref>

=== Lying About Attacks (May 2025) ===
While streaming with [[Tony Bame]] across [[America]] during the [[Tony Bame Arc]], Josh was seen on camera consistently lying about being attacked with knives, having people threaten to steal his rolex, passport, or phone, and being hunted down by [[Dom Bertucci|Dom Bertucci's]] thugs. It is unknown if Josh lied about these things on purpose or if he has [[Josh and Mental Health|deluded himself]] into believing it.

{{Contact|Considering they are all estranged from him, contacting them will not even produce any useful information, and it is likely they have been harassed enough already.|subject=any of Josh's family members}}

[[Josh Block|Josh]] has several '''family members'''. None of his relatives are in contact with him, except [[Grandpa Block]].

Not much is known, even about his immediate family. The little information Josh has revealed about his family [[Compulsive Lying|cannot be taken at face value]], however, this article will attempt to identify as much as possible.

== Grandpa Block ==
''Main article: [[Grandpa Block]]''

Grandpa Block is Josh's grandfather and last relative he is in contact with. At the age of 14, Josh's mother died due to ovarian cancer, resulting in Josh moving to Patchogue, New York, where he was taken in by his grandfather, who became his legal guardian. Grandpa Block is featured in a few of Josh's older videos, often chastising him for his antics.

== Laura Block ==
Laura Block was Josh's mother, who died due to ovarian cancer.

== Allen Block ==
Allen Block is the father of Joshua. Josh frequently claims that his father is a drug addict who abused him and then abandoned his family. Josh also states that his father is currently in rehab.

== Jacob Block ==
Jacob Block is Josh's older brother. They are no longer in contact, possibly due to the fact that Jacob is rumoured to be schizophenic and living in a group home.{{Citation Needed}}

Michael Quinn Era

2025-07-10T06:55:51Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Boborilla

The '''Michael Quinn Era''' refers to a period in [[Josh Block]]'s life when he was under the management of [[Michael Quinn]], spanning from late 2021 or early 2022 until mid 2024, when Quinn was replaced as manager by [[Jason Itzler|Jason "Mr. Based" Itzler]], starting the [[Mr. Based Era]]. This era was characterized by significant shifts in Josh's behavior, including the onset of [[Alcoholism|alcoholism]], frequent public [[Meltdowns|meltdowns]], and chaotic incidents. Quinn, as Josh's first manager, played a pivotal role in shaping his activities, notably encouraging ventures like the unlicensed [[The World of T-Shirts Experience|NYC tour business, "The World of T-Shirts Experience"]].

== Meeting Josh ==

Quinn first became involved with Josh Block sometime in late 2021 or early 2022. Quinn claims they first met after Josh asked him to "collaborate on [[New York City]] content" on an unspecified social media platform.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1745bu9/the_actual_story_of_how_quinn_met_josh/</ref> Their relationship marked the beginning of a transformative and tumultuous period in Josh's public and personal life.

== Characters ==

=== Josh Block ===
{{Main|Josh Block}}
Josh Block, a TikTok personality, was the central figure of this era. Under Quinn's management, his behavior became increasingly erratic, often fueled by alcohol consumption and public confrontations, leading to a series of high-profile incidents.

=== Michael Quinn ===
{{Main|Michael Quinn}}
Michael Quinn, known simply as Quinn, served as Josh's [[Management|manager]] during this period. He was instrumental in directing Josh's ventures and frequently shaped public perception of Josh's actions through social media commentary, often framing Josh as a victim or hero despite controversial events.

== Incidents Involving Michael Quinn ==

Quinn was directly involved in or associated with several notable incidents during the Michael Quinn Era, highlighting his influence over Josh's life and public persona:

=== Influence on Josh's Alcoholism (2022 Onward) ===
Quinn's entry into Josh's life coincided with a noticeable increase in Josh's alcohol consumption, which became a recurring theme in his public incidents. Critics suggest that Quinn's management style may have exacerbated Josh's descent into alcoholism, contributing to a "darker turn" in his behavior during this period.

=== Encouragement of Unlicensed NYC Tours ===
Starting around early 2023, Quinn encouraged Josh to establish "The World of T-Shirts Experience," an unlicensed tour business in New York City. This venture led to numerous chaotic encounters with the public and authorities due to its lack of legal authorization, marking a significant point of Quinn's influence over Josh's activities.<ref>https://worldoftshirts.weebly.com/the-world-of-t-shirts-experience-428700.html</ref>

=== LIRR Spitting & Screaming Attack (April 1, 2024) ===
On April 1, 2024, Josh was involved in a disruptive incident on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR). Quinn posted several TikTok videos claiming Josh was attacked by "thugs" attempting to steal his phone, hat, and wallet, asserting that he had taught Josh to "flex and roar like a beast" as a defense tactic and suggesting Josh take up karate.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelquinnjagg/video/7353119000303471918</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelquinnjagg/video/7353126094821657902</ref><ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelquinnjagg/video/7353128067071593770</ref> However, videos later surfaced showing Josh spitting at passengers and screaming, contradicting Quinn's portrayal of events.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bvq61x/my_angle_of_the_buildup_to_the_lirr_incident/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1btphoq/josh_spits_at_someone_on_the_lirr/</ref>

=== Public Statements and Social Media Management ===
Throughout the era, Quinn frequently used TikTok and other platforms to comment on Josh's incidents, often attempting to spin narratives in Josh's favor. For example, during the LIRR incident, Quinn's posts portrayed Josh as a victim, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelquinnjagg/video/7353119000303471918</ref> This pattern of social media management was a consistent feature of Quinn's involvement, shaping public perception of Josh's actions.

September 16th Incident

2025-07-10T06:55:49Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Jblock

{{Quote|quote=3, 2, 1, I'M DEAD!|author=Josh jumping off the stairs}}
[[File:Josh 16-9-2024 Meltdown.png|alt=Josh panicking and yelling gibberish due to threats from Dom Bertucci|thumb|Josh panicking and yelling gibberish due to threats from Dom Bertucci]]
On September 16, 2024, a TTS sent by a viewer threatening to steal [[Josh Block|Josh's]] phone on [[Mr. Based|Mr. Based's]] stream, along with others, caused Josh to have a meltdown cumulating in him screaming out the n-word.
=== Prior Events ===
In a livestream, Mr. Based took Josh to a recording studio so that Josh can record [[Music Career|the very first version of Forever Drunk]], prior to the newer version recorded at [[Quad Recording Studios]]. While at the recording studio, Josh spotted a bottle of wine at the table and proceeded to pour all of it into a glass. While recording the song, Josh kept saying "do it again" every few seconds. While the engineer edited Josh's cover, Josh proceeded to drinking most of the wine. He then vomited some of it in the bathroom and poured what little wine remained on the glass as well, while Mr. Based facepalmed himself.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1glolqg/monstrous_wine/</ref><ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fj3cu0/josh_puking_in_the_recording_studio/</ref> The sound studio engineer ended up disabling the internet so that Josh and Mr. Based would leave. Because of that, Mr. Based would claim that this was “the worst studio in America”.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fqx9l7/first_forever_drunk_recording/</ref>

=== The Incident ===
While outside, Josh had a major meltdown, potentially his most intense crashout to date, caused by a viewer TTS threatening to steal Josh's phone as well as beat him up. Josh then stimmed about being from the Bronx and not being able to afford a lawyer while emoting and biting his hands. After Josh calmed down, Mr. Based received a call from a troll, in which he told the troll that he was going to block them. Afterwards, [[Dom Bertucci]] sent a TTS stating that he will call off his goons if Josh would do a [[Galaxy Gas Stream|galaxy gas stream]]. Josh then stimmed again while threatening to kill Dom Bertucci. Mr. Based then told Josh to "break character" and asked where Josh's Uber was as well as asking Josh if he was interested in going to a strip club. Dom Bertucci then sent another TTS threatening to steal everything Josh owned. Josh then ran around, throwing his [[The Captains Hat|hat]] on the ground and jumping down some stairs. When someone told him to chill, Josh then proceeded to call the person [[racism|the n-word]]. Mr. Based then started cut the stream as he was angry by Josh's racism, to which Josh apologized. The last audio heard on the stream was Mr. Based begging an unknown person not to kill them.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fimquc/josh_crashes_out_says_n_word/</ref>

===Aftermath ===
Mr. Based then proceeded to record him at least twice and posted the videos onto TikTok, where it got re-posted onto Reddit. In the first video, titled "Josh Crash Out", Josh was seen doing a kick. Whether the kick managed to hit a person or not is unclear. The unknown person then told Josh that he had ten seconds. After Mr. Based told Josh to run, Josh proceeded to be in a screaming and running frenzy on the streets of [[New York City|New York]]. Josh then tried to break into a store by kicking due to a fear that [[Josh and Mental Health|the unknown person was chasing him with knives]]. He then cussed a man who was barring the door inside the store. Mr. Based then apologized to the man. Josh then states that there are men after him as Mr. Based stated that it as all in Josh's head. Josh then got out of breath and then walked with Jason. In the second video, titled "Freak out!!", Mr. Based asks a random passerby to calm a stimming and emoting Josh down, to no avail. Mr. Based suggested to the passerby to give Josh a hug.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fin9p2/91624_incident_the_supercut/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button</ref> Josh would proceed to have another major incident the [[17/9/24 Incident|very next day]].

American Dream Mall

2025-07-10T06:55:46Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Aviv

The American Dream mall is a large shopping mall and entertainment center in East Rutherford, New Jersey. [[Josh Block|Josh]] is very fond of this mall and visits it frequently.

{{Quote|author=Josh, when talking about Douglas Skates|quote=That evil witch, Douglas Skates}}

[[Trolls]] are continually on a crusade to provoke and anger [[Josh Block|Josh]]. This article lists some notable incidents.

== Incidents ==

=== Douglas Skates Las Vegas Crashout ===
''Main article: [[Las Vegas Crashout]]''

During [[Josh Block|Josh's]] first trip to Las Vegas, he is stream sniped and harassed whilst streaming on TikTok by YouTube prankster "[[Trolls|Douglas Skates]]". Josh freaks out when Douglas keeps following him, leading to Josh threatening to call the police and yelling "I'M BEGGING YOU!", a line which has since become iconic in the lore. Josh then proceeds to run away whilst in a panicked state.

=== Liquid Josh Incident ===
''Main article: [[Liquid Josh Meltdown]]''

The Liquid Josh Meltdown was an incident caused by the streamer [[Trolls|DoozyCruz]], who dressed up as Josh and stream sniped him on November 26, 2024. This resulted in a brief chase through the streets of New York, and running into unfortunate establishments. Later, DoozyCruz caught up to Josh in a pizza restaurant and stream-sniped him again, repeatedly [["Put the Fries in the Bag"|fry-bagging]] him. This resulted in Josh crying and having a meltdown, being aggressive toward DoozyCruz and screaming "[[Josh's Catchphrases|I want to go home to Italy!]]".

=== "There's Men after me with Knives!" Incident ===
''Main articles: [[Dom Bertucci]] and [[16/9/24 Incident]]''

On September 16, 2024, Josh had a major meltdown, potentially his most intense crashout to date, caused by [[Dom Bertucci]] threatening to steal his passport. Josh was seen on the streets of New York screaming, running around in a frenzy and trying to break into a store due to a fear that unknown men were chasing him with knives.

Ahoyt

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Gamer

{{Quote|text=I invented Ahoyt. So essentially I wear a [[The Captains Hat|captain's hat]], I go to Hoyt-Schermerhorn station, and I say Ahoyt. So essentially, captains say "Ahoy", but I'm wearing a captain's hat at Hoyt-Schermerhorn station.|source=Josh's explanation behind Ahoyt, 2024<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftshirts/video/7363859565986778410</ref>}}

"'''Ahoyt'''" is a term coined by [[Joshua Block]]. The word is a blend of "Hoyt," referring to the [[wikipedia:Hoyt–Schermerhorn_Streets_station|Hoyt–Schermerhorn Street]] subway station in New York City, and "Ahoy," a nautical greeting in reference to Josh being known as the "[[The Captains Hat|Captain]]".

== Background ==
Joshua's obsession with Hoyt-Schermerhorn likely has to do with him creating a video in reference to Michael Jackson's "Bad" music video, which was filmed at the station. In the video, Josh donned a black wig and leather jacket, and filmed himself dancing around the station, lip syncing the song.<ref>https://youtu.be/a7oNZnZqWbs?si=cQttCBExuxLtSZfc&t=267</ref>

== TikTok ==
Josh regularly posts videos captioned "Ahoyt", always starting with a view of the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway platform, switching to a selfie view of himself inside the station. Then, having moved outside, Josh flips the camera to show him walking down Hoyt Street or the otherwise surrounding area of the station.

== Instagram ==
Josh regularly posts selfies of him at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn St. subway station, captioned "Ahoyt". The community has used these photos as an aid to compare Josh's constantly deteriorating state at different points in time. This has been ongoing since 2021.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/183zoui/2021_2022_2023_in_ahoyts/</ref>

{{CW}}{{Stub}}{{Quote|text=YOU FUCKING N****ER! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! I'M FROM BROWNSVILLE! I'LL FUCKING BEAT YOU UP! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU! I'LL KILL YOU! YOU N****ER!|author=Josh yelling}}
[[File:Brownsville.jpg|thumb|Joshua as seen during the incident]]
The "'''Brownsville Incident'''" refers to an incident where [[Joshua Block]] loudly and angrily yells the [[Racism|n-word]] outside West Fourth Street–Washington Square station in Manhattan on March 21, 2024.

== Prior Events ==
On that day, Josh was on his phone arguing with a possible [[trolls|troll]], during which Josh mentioned beating the caller up and then waiting for the police to arrive. He then stimmed about going to [[Italy]]. Afterwards, Josh proceeded to argue with a man, who told Josh to shut up<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bkpg1n/full_context_of_josh_saying_the_nword/</ref>, and according to Josh, "tried to assalt[sic] me."<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bkfxzl/josh_on_why_he_said_the_n_word/</ref> At one point, according to Josh, the man [[compulsive Lying|allegedly]] proceeded to "pour [[alcoholism|beer]] in my fave[sic]".<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bkfxzl/josh_on_why_he_said_the_n_word/</ref> Regardless of what happened next, Josh then went into a [[meltdowns|crashout]].

== The Incident ==
Josh then proceeded to yell the n-word and made threats while waving his body around, which were captured in at least two videos. Videos were taken down from TikTok, but got posted on [[r/WorldOfTShirts]] prior to the takedowns, becoming the most upvoted post on the subreddit of all time.

The first can be seen on https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bkmwhw/i_know_this_has_been_posted_already_but_why_i_ask/ , where a man snickers while Josh says the n-word.

The second more infamous video can be seen on https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bl0jb0/josh_n_word_in_nyc/ , where Josh calls someone the n-word and threatens to beat them up. A homeless man, possibly the same person Josh argued with earlier, tells him to shut up.

== Aftermath ==
Shortly after the incident, Josh then approached two people on the street and [[Finances|begged them for money]], which they refused to give, causing Josh to cuss them out. Josh then proceeded to scream about how he hated [[United States|America]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bkpg1n/full_context_of_josh_saying_the_nword/</ref>

[[File:Tokyo abduction.jpg|thumb|Josh getting dragged to the police station]]
On February 15, 2025, while in [[Japan]], [[Josh Block|Josh]] experienced a public breakdown involving screaming and self-harming behavior, prompting police intervention. He was temporarily detained following a citizen's arrest but was not formally charged, with the situation resolved after police discussion.

During Josh's Tokyo trip in early 2025, Josh was seen yelling, bashing his head against a wall, punching [[trolls]] inside a restaurant, and attacking various people. This behaviour eventually led Josh to be forcefully restrained and dragged to a local police station by a Japanese man, which resulted in Josh screaming his lungs out and stating that he can't breathe, possibly mocking George Floyd.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ipdmtz/innocent_man_gets_abducted_in_tokyo/</ref> [[Arrests & Encounters with the Law|Josh was briefly detained]] and released after being questioned.

[[File:Stephens Green Incident.png|alt=Josh chasing down someone who told him to put the fries in the bag|thumb|Josh chasing down someone who told him to [["Put the Fries in the Bag"|put the fries in the bag]]]]
On January 10th, 2025 during the [[Travel Arc]], Josh had a major [[Meltdowns|meltdown]] in Stephens Green in Dublin, [[Ireland]]. Fans filmed and provoked Josh by yelling [["Put the Fries in the Bag"|"Put the Fries in the Bag!"]], causing him to attack, chase, and threaten to murder multiple people.

== Buildup to Incident ==
During Josh's visit to Dublin in January 2025, he spent much of his time wandering the streets and going from bar to bar. Occasionally, locals would recognise him and attempt to trigger him, but to no avail. While travelling around the city on January 10th, Josh visited various landmarks, posting his location on Instagram and unknowingly allowing [[trolls]] to find him. He eventually gathered a large group of people following him, which would eventually cause the crashout.

== Incident ==
While aimlessly wandering on his vacation in Dublin, Josh was accosted by a group of [[trolls]] inside [[wikipedia:St_Stephen's_Green|Stephens Green]], where he was provoked due to use of the [["Put the Fries in the Bag"]] phrase . Bystanders recorded him spending several minutes threatening and attempting to chase down the culprits, swinging his arms at people, and shouting nonsense, until he made his getaway in a taxi and went to the Guinness Storehouse.

[[File:Mustard Tiger.png|thumb|alt=Tony Bame getting doused in mustard by "Mustard Man"|[[Tony Bame]] getting doused in mustard by "Mustard Man"]]

On June 3, 2025, while visiting the Town Center at Boca Raton with [[Jack Doherty]], [[Alyssa Manzella]] and [[Josh]], [[Tony Bame]] was doused in mustard by a tie-dye t-shirt-wearing Discord user. The assailant, now known as “Mustard Man,” caused this altercation. <ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1l2pciy/tony_gets_attacked_with_mustard_full_clip/</ref>

== Background ==
Prior to the incident, Josh was already having a meltdown after having been phone-fry-bagged by Jack's brother Michael, while they were pulling up to the mall. The meltdown intensified when an individual now known as "Mustard Man" arrived in a vehicle and "greeted" Tony with a "How you doin' Tony" using a megaphone before the group entered the mall.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QETofOjLwQ</ref>

When the group was ordering food, "Mustard Man" approached them and showed them "fan art" from the [https://discord.gg/worldoftshirts discord server]. While Josh himself didn't seem to pay attention to the images, Tony & Jack both reacted with disgust, Jack uttered "Ew, that's disgusting" after being shown picture of him "giving head to Josh" by "Mustard Man", while this was happening, Josh grew more anxious and agitated. "Mustard Man" proceeded to light up a "joint" in the food court after getting dared to do so by Jack and his cameraman, even offering Tony to take a couple of hits, which Tony refused though.

During lunch with Josh, Tony, Jack, and Alyssa, he returned and squirted a bottle of mustard on Tony, allegedly citing Tony’s lack of “good content” as the motive. The majority of the mustard landed on Tony, with minor splashes reaching Josh and Alyssa, while Jack remained unaffected. In response, Alyssa threw her drink at "Mustard Man", who raised a chair defensively as Tony pushed him away. The incident was recorded from Mustard Man’s perspective via a Discord voice chat and later uploaded to Reddit by another user. Although Josh was only lightly splashed, he reacted as though he had been the primary target, claiming damage to his passport and other belongings. As the group entered a family restroom to clean up, Mustard Man quickly left the premises. Shortly after exiting the restroom, Josh was fry-bagged again, triggering a second meltdown. He screamed repeatedly, insisting he had been the main victim of the mustard incident, prompting intervention by mall security before the group exited the premises.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1l2p7uf/comment/mvuo0ci/</ref>

== Aftermath ==
[[File:Mustard Hair.png|thumb|[[Tony Bame]] doused in mustard, entering the family restroom]]
As the group was exiting the mall, Jack was "panic ordering Ubers"<ref>https://parti.com/video/85255</ref> in order to flee from "Mustard Man". Tony, Alyssa, Josh & Casey, who acted as their cameraman during the trip to Florida, got in the first Uber and left for an unknown destination, meanwhile Jack & his crew ubered to the other side of the mall in order to retrieve their party bus/van from the car park. On their way back home Jack was complaining about Mustard Man to his girlfriend Christiana, who wasn't present at the time of the incident, she didn't seem to care much about it, responding with her own "drama" about "somebody being mean at Starbucks".

Sometime after getting back to their Airbnb, Josh took the first shower in a unknown, but assumed to be long period of time, finally forcing him into putting on fresh change of clothes.

Later the same day, Tony went live with Casey and Alyssa went live on Casey's Parti account at about 4 or 5am local time to complain about the situation and rewind after the stressful day by getting drunk on wine. <ref>https://parti.com/video/85376</ref>

== Motivation ==

"Mustard Man" stated that his motivation behind the "Mustard Attack" was "Tony's failure to produce good content", as can be heard in Jack's livestream, following the incident "Mustard Man" wrote on discord "I went after tony not even josh 😂 I got no issue with josh I want the best for him"

[[File:Mustard Motivation.png|thumb|center|"Mustard Man's" motivation behind the dousing]]

This marks the first time Tony was the target of a troll instead of Josh.

== Reactions ==

=== [[Michael Quinn]] ===
Michael Quinn reacted by suggesting that "Mustard Man" might've actually been the "drink tracker guy" because of his "saucy behavior" & "signature squeeze".

At this time, Josh was claiming to be getting caffeine withdrawals, hinting at the later descent into [[Josh and Drugs|addiction]].

== Coffee and Boba (song) ==
Josh released "Coffee and Boba" at the end of 2020, a song where he expresses his self-proclaimed addiction to coffee and boba tea.

== End ==
The Coffee and Boba era's end would finally come when Josh turned 21 in August 2022, and began drinking [[Alcoholism|alcohol]] instead of coffee or boba.

'''The Area 140 First Bar''', more commonly known as '''Durgy's Bar''' or just simply '''Durgy's''' after its owner, Michael "Durgy" Durgavich, is a dive bar that is a frequent streaming location in the [[Mr. Based Era]]. The bar is often referred to by its common name only on the [[subreddit]] due to Reddit's policies against doxxing and Josh and Mr. Based mostly refers to the bar with its common name in a feeble attempt to deter trolls. There is an Ipswich Town FC flag on the wall of the bar which can frequently be seen in the background of the streams.

Durgy's Bar permits the livestreams from Mr. Based. Some streams featured the bartenders remarking how their affiliation with Josh was good for business, but many patrons loudly object to having cameras pointed at them. On some occasions Josh flees into the bar to seek refuge as he's being pursued by [[trolls]], bringing a commotion inside. Josh has vomited all over himself in this bar once and the next day returned with a $100 tip for the bartender who had to clean up the mess.

At one point, [[Josh]] stated that he was getting an apartment in New York and was planning on having Durgy as his roomate.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jzl3wv/josh_is_moving_in_with_durgy_area_140_first_bar/</ref>

{{HealthDisclosure}}{{Quote|text=Sober is boring I want to party like the college kids|author=Josh in a TikTok comment when told "Being sober is cool", June 2024<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1dsk3bi/this_is_just_normal_college_partying_guys/</ref>}}
[[File:Josh liquor.jpg|thumb|A plush of Josh with '''liquor''']]
Josh has gained significant attention online for his rampant '''alcoholism''', which has come to be his defining trait as a lolcow. His addiction has led to numerous [[Josh and Health|health issues]], including daily headaches, vomiting, slurring of words, neuropathy, pancreatitis, and other illnesses. Despite claiming to have only a "[[Compulsive Lying|mild problem]]" with alcohol, Josh drinks daily, often to the point of vomiting, passing out, or being arrested. His intoxication frequently results in assaults, destruction of public and private property, and shouting racial and discriminatory slurs.

== Origin of Alcoholism ==
Before turning 21, Josh visited [[Mexico|Cancun]] and tried his first fateful sip of alcohol, becoming completely intoxicated on the same night. After returning to [[America]], Josh waited until his 21st birthday to drink again, and since then, he has descended into a continuous cycle of heavy drinking. His alcoholism became particularly pronounced during the [[Michael Quinn Era]], starting in late 2022 and early 2023, when his behavior took a darker turn under the influence of his manager, [[Michael Quinn]].

== The Shakes ==
By mid-2023, Josh was already exhibiting shakes (tremors) in the morning due to alcohol withdrawal.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13j34e1/so_how_long_until_he_gets_the_shakes/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/15enwpi/has_he_ever_addressed_his_alcohol_shakes/</ref> These shakes were more noticeable as the year progressed.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/174cph6/the_same_shot_4_months_apart_the_shakes_are_very/</ref> Josh is strangely obsessed with asking random people if they also have the shakes.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jqya6u/why_is_josh_obsessed_with_talking_about/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1evonym/captain_asking_a_waiter_about_the_shakes/</ref>

== Denial ==
Josh will deny outright being an alcoholic in various forms, including:

* Claims he's not an alcoholic, just a "problem drinker"<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jauwuw/he_finally_admits_hes_an_alcoholic/</ref>

He will also occasionally admit to being an alcoholic and/or brag about his shakes.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fen1mr/the_shakes_are_what_keep_the_ship_afloat/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/18y2an7/josh_on_live_bragging_about_having_the_shakes/</ref>

== Taste of Alcohol ==
Despite heavily drinking, Josh clearly does not enjoy the taste of light beers and even heavily mixed, sugary drinks.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1bius07/a_little_gag_with_each_sip/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1gefxh4/really_enjoyed_that_sip</ref> Josh struggles to drinks shooters<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1gzx4e5/the_way_it_goes_down_so_smooth/</ref> and hard liquor.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1f182vs/every_sip_is_pure_bliss/</ref>

== Notable Drinks ==
Some notable drinks that Josh frequently consumes:

* Twisted Tea
* Fireball shooters
** Notably, in September 2023, he purchased a giant bottle of Fireball at a Circle K in [[Texas]], receiving over 755k likes on TikTok.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@worldoftshirts/video/7276280437222411566</ref>
* 99 Banana shooters
* Smirnoff Ice Wine Coolers

== Drink Tracker ==
{{Main|Drink Tracker}}
Josh's alcohol consumption was tracked beginning in late 2023, yet Josh claimed it was harassment, despite Josh posting and bragging about the drinks himself.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/18mfvgs/josh_feels_harassed_by_the_drink_trackers/</ref>

== Notable Incidents Related to Alcoholism ==
Josh's alcoholism has led to a series of well-documented incidents, many of which occurred during his travels or public appearances:

=== Pissing On A Store Window (May 3, 2024)===
Recorded slurring his words, Josh urinated on a store window, with urine flowing across the sidewalk, demonstrating his lack of inhibition while intoxicated.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1cjt3hc/pissing_in_the_street/</ref>

===Cruise Shoe Vomit (October 28, 2024)===

[[Joshua Block]]'s finances can be described as "questionable at best". Josh is in massive amounts of debt, while he constantly boasts about a a dubious six-figure income.

== Income Sources ==
The following is a list of Josh's known sources of income:

* [[Parti]] deal
** Josh has claimed that he makes around $2000 a week from fulfilling his 10 hour streaming quota with Parti.<ref name=":0">https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jygx73/josh_explains_how_much_he_makes_a_year/</ref>

* A small portion of TTS income from being featured on [[Mr. Based]]'s streams
* TTS donation income from Josh's LiveBeam
* [[The World of T-Shirts Experience]]
* An unknown portion of earnings from [[Sebastian|merch sales]]

Former income:

* Part-time jobs (see section below)
* TikTok Live income
* TikTok Creator Program (now requires videos to be 1 minute long)
* [[Tony Bame]] sponsors / partnerships / meet & greets (not currently ongoing)

== Claims ==
Josh's income claims have skyrocketed from thousands a month, to making six figures a year. Below is a non-exhaustive list of claims Josh has made about his income:

== Paycheck to Paycheck ==
Josh has frequently described himself as living "paycheck to paycheck," even though he does not receive regular paychecks or a salary. His lifestyle includes frequent international travel and reliance on alternative income sources such as Cameo and Parti, which provide earnings inconsistent with typical financial hardship.

== Employment ==
Surprisingly, Josh was actually employed at a few points in time. He worked as a janitor at a high school (seemingly during the [[Coffee and Boba Era]]).<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1f615rw/i_spoke_to_someone_who_knew_josh_from_his_janitor/</ref> There are also conflicting reports indicating that he worked at either Burger King or Dairy Queen.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/13r125r/so_why_was_josh_laughing_at_this_man_doing_his_job/</ref>

== Taxes ==
For the 2023 tax year (filed in 2024), Josh reported owing $9,000 to the IRS, having to go on a payment plan (which Josh happily informed his audience about.)<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1c616fv/josh_owes_irs_9000/</ref><ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1c610mc/federal_income_tax_4_easy_payments_on_klarna/</ref> According to [[Alex Novell]], Josh asked [[Mayor Flanagan]] to pay off $3,000 in back taxes that Josh owed and was apparently unable to pay, which Flanagan agreed to.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ex9aov/apparently_mayor_flanagan_paid_off_all_of_joshs/</ref> Josh confirmed he was on a payment plan again for the 2024 tax year.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1k08oxl/tax_day_announcement_from_captain/</ref>

== Debt ==
Aside from owing the IRS money, Josh has a surprisingly low amount of credit card debt (for someone who makes "$400k a year"), reportedly having 2 cards, one at $1,500 and one at $1,200, both maxed out.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1iyel6u/josh_has_less_than_3k_in_his_account/</ref> Josh once confirmed that he only makes the ''minimum payment'', to the point where his balance does not go down.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1b694aa/new_debt_arc/</ref>

One of the cards that Josh has is a ''Capital One Platinum MasterCard'', designed for individuals with a "fair" credit score, a.k.a, an entry level credit card with low limits, no real benefits, and a high interest rate.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1cyu54p/finger_nails_need_to_be_cleaned/</ref>

{{CW}}{{HealthDisclosure}}[[File:Josh drinking fireball on train.png|alt=Josh covered in blood, drinking a fireball on the train.|thumb|Josh covered in blood, drinking a fireball on the train.]]
[[Josh Block|Joshua Block]] has had many physical health incidents due to his deteriorating [[Josh and Mental Health|mental health]], [[Alcoholism]] and transient lifestyle which include wearing the same outfits for weeks on end without taking them off.

==Hemorrhoids==
At one point, Josh got hemorrhoids and bought Preparation H to relive the itch. During a livestream with Mr. Based, Josh proceeded to apply the cream to his butt with his bare hands in a public sidewalk<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1jhhprw/josh_applies_preparation_h_on_the_sidewalk/</ref>.
He also sat on his hemorrhoids, causing pain, on another livestream, but listening to the song Fish Heads donated to TTS helped relived his pain<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ffod55/josh_sits_on_hemorrhoid_but_is_swiftly_calmed_by/</ref>.

==Pancreatitis==
On February 21, 2025, Josh was admitted to the hospital for Pancreatitis after an altercation at the [[American Dream Mall]]. Upon being discharged from the hospital, Josh appeared to be heavily sedated and complaining of stomach pain. He admitted to being given benzodiazepines however it is unclear whether these were administered to sedate him or to prevent alcohol withdrawals. Days later, Josh claimed that the incident was food poisoning from eating dog in [[Japan]]. Following this incident, Josh often complains of stomach pain, however he continues to blame it on food poisoning.

== Neuropathy ==
''Main article: [[Neuropathy]]''[[File:Josh Reply.png|alt=Josh describing his morning routine.|thumb|Josh describing his morning routine.]]
Josh often complains of a pain and tingling sensation in his hands, consistent with the symptoms of Alcoholic Neuropathy. As a result, he is known to carry and regularly apply pain relief ointments.

== Gum Disease ==
Over time, Josh has developed severe gum disease from a lack of brushing his teeth, and from [[Josh's Nicotine Addiction|daily use of zyns]], which are known to cause damage to gums. Notably, on a stream where [[Jason Itzler|Mr. Based]] made him brush his teeth, Josh was seen spitting large amounts of blood.

== Monkey Pox ==
{{Main|Monkey Pox Scare}}

In 2024, Josh was brought to a hospital by Mr. Based due to a severe rash, nicknamed "The Scarlet Rot" by fans. While in the hospital, Josh was mistakenly diagnosed with Monkey Pox.

== Swollen Eyes ==
In May of 2025, Josh was seen with red and swollen eyes, possibly caused by his rampant alcoholism.

Animal Cruelty

2025-07-10T06:55:16Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Jblock

{{CW}}
[[Josh Block|Josh]] is well known to be cruel to animals and has a general disregard for most living things, he has been filmed [[Fish Stomping Incident|stomping a fish to death]], thrown a fish out of an open window, and frequently threatens to hit or eat [[Bambi]] and [[Frankie]], kicks Frankie, and asked [[Danny Duncan]] if he could shoot his pet emu.
== Incidents ==

=== Fish Stomping Incident ===
{{Main|Fish Stomping Incident}}

On the 2nd of July, 2021, Josh was filmed stomping on a live fish until it died, while laughing gleefully. This footage quickly gained attention online. In the video, Josh appeared to show little concern for the fish, smiling and seemingly enjoying the act, even stating, "I want to smash its brains out." This event is widely regarded as possibly the earliest example of Josh’s disregard for life and [[Animal Cruelty|animal cruelty]], marking a significant moment in his online history.

=== Chicken Cannibalism ===

Josh had a short-lived hyper-fixation of feeding chicken to chickens. He would go out of his way to purchase cooked chicken, then trespass on a farm and feed dead chickens to living chickens. [Date Missing]

=== Cat Stomping Threats ===

In early June 2023, more rumours circulated about Joshua killing a cat. On 3 June 2023, Josh was recording himself talking about how he wanted to stomp on another fish, a blue gill, and then stomp a cat to death.

=== Threats to kill Frankie ===

While TikTok livestreaming to 3,000 people on August 24th, 2023 when on a train, Joshua brought up [[Jason Itzler|Mr. Based]] and his dog. He then threatened that he would "kill" Mr. Based's dog [[Frankie]].

<ref>https://archive.ph/CPyEv</ref>

=== Hurting Mr. Based's cat Bambi ===

On October 6th, 2024, whilst at Mr Based's apartment, [[Bambi]] the cat walked across Josh's leg. Joshua quickly and violently shoved Bambi into something made from glass. Josh claimed that Bambi "scratched" him. Mr. Based then replied that Josh "Could've killed her".

Bambi, however, did not appear to have scratched Josh, making this yet another [[Compulsive Lying|suspected lie]].

=== Desiring to kill Danny Duncan's pet Emu ===
On a YouTube video published January 13th, 2025, Joshua asked if he could kill [[Danny Duncan]]'s pet Emu. When Duncan responded angrily, Joshua responded with a smile, "I didn't know [it was] your [emu]."<ref>https://youtu.be/o-WTQX4un7I?t=1188</ref>

=== Eating a 'Golden Retriever' in Japan ===
Josh reported to Mr. Based, after returning home from [[Japan]], that he tried an illicit 'dog cafe' where they served cooked dog meat, and he had eaten what was told to him to be golden retriever.

=== Throwing Fish Out of a Window ===

In a 2019 [[TikTok]] video that circulated on [[Reddit]] in April 2025, Josh was seen holding a goldfish in a plastic bag that he then tossed out of an open window on the second floor of a building. Josh claimed that it was simply just a bag of water in the TikTok comments page.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1joowpq/josh_put_a_goldfish_in_a_bag_and_threw_it_out_a/</ref> Possibly inspired by this incident, [[Douglas Skates]] bought a bag with a goldfish to gift to Josh in 2025 as a peace offering. <ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1k8l39v/douglas_skates_worldoftshirts/</ref> While getting the fish, Josh questioned on how he was going to feed it.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@youngdoogla/video/7498558839281683743</ref> Douglas claimed that Josh accepted the fish and named it [[Jason Itzler|Jason]].

{{CW}}{{Stub}}{{Quote|quote=YOU DESERVE TO BE DEPORTED BACK TO MEXICO WHERE YOU BELONG!!!

I don't think they're Mexican, Josh.|author=Josh and Mr. Based (directed towards a crowd of African-American male youths)}}

[[Josh Block|Josh]] has displayed on multiple occasions that he holds racist biases, and is known to use the N-word frequently.

== List of Incidents ==

=== May 2020 ===
During one of Josh's earliest TikTok livestreams on May 22, 2020, he said the N-word on stream to thousands of his followers. He did this by emoting his face around with a sinister grin, then dimming the lights and letting the word be unleashed. <ref>https://worldoftshirts.weebly.com/n-word.html</ref> He later claimed that he never said it.

=== N-Word, Porch Monkeys, Whipping ===
On May 25, 2023, Josh recorded a video of himself saying several racially aggravated words, such as that he didn't like when his "n**ros disobey me". He then went on to say "When the porch monkeys disobey me, i whip them". <ref>https://worldoftshirts.weebly.com/n-word-porch-monkeys-whipping.html</ref> Audio from a leaked phone call from Josh to his grandfather was released where Josh claimed he only said it because "Quinn wasn't there" and that his knew it was offensive to say. Grandfather Block was unimpressed with Josh's actions and said Josh had been "cancelled".

=== Reykjavik, Iceland ===
On June 13, 2023 while on vacation in Iceland, Josh was streaming when someone took his hat. He whined and moaned for several minutes before trying to track down the thief, saying "Track this immigrant fuck down". He said this about a native Icelandic man whilst he, an American, was in Iceland.<ref>https://worldoftshirts.weebly.com/immigrant-in-iceland.html</ref>

=== Kyoto, Japan ===
Around February 14th, 2025, Josh was filmed calling a Japanese cab driver an "Immigrant fuck." He said this about a Japanese local, whilst he, an American, was in Japan. [https://x.com/WORLDOFCLIPZ/status/1890807659252560119]

Autism

2025-07-10T06:55:13Z

Aviv: Reverted edit by Hungerbackson (talk) to last revision by Jblock

{{HealthDisclosure}}

Among a multitude of other [[Josh and Mental Health|mental issues]], [[Joshua Block]], known as World of T-Shirts, has '''autism''', or '''autism spectrum disorder''' ('''ASD'''). His autism manifests through frequent stimming behaviors, such as hand biting, repetitive phrases, and physical gestures, often triggered by stress. Additionally, Josh exhibits hyperfixations on luxury, travel, transit systems, lawsuits, and exotic foods, which dominate his attention and content creation.

== Diagnosis and Background ==
Joshua Block's autism was confirmed by his [[Grandpa Block|grandfather]] in an interview, noting that Josh was initially placed in a restrictive school track due to his condition but later excelled in standard classes, achieving honor roll status.<ref>https://greaterlongisland.com/meet-joshua-block-a-recent-patchogue-medford-grad-who-attracts-millions-on-tikt/</ref> As a TikTok influencer with nearly 4 million followers, his autism influences his public behavior, often seen in his comedy videos, live streams, and vlogs centered around [[New York City]].

== Stimming ==
Stimming, or self-stimulatory behavior, involves repetitive movements or sounds used by individuals with autism to self-regulate or express emotions. Josh's stimming behaviors include:

=== Hand Biting and Chewing ===
{{Main|Self Harm}}
Frequently observed under stress, such as on July 27, 2024, when he chewed his hand before a physical altercation, and on September 17, 2024, during a violent outburst involving kicking people and damaging a car.

=== Repetitive Phrases ===
{{Main|Catchphrases}}
Josh compulsively repeats phrases like [["Put the Fries in the Bag"|"Put the fries in the bag"]], which can trigger aggressive reactions when echoed by others, as seen in incidents on September 9, 2024, and August 23, 2024.

=== Emoting and Physical Gestures ===
Described as exaggerated movements, Josh "emotes" during confrontations, such as stomping and gesturing on October 19, 2023, after a public dispute, or performing a "Leprechaun shin kick" on March 17, 2024.

These behaviors often escalate in high-stress situations, contributing to his documented public outbursts.

== Hyperfixations ==
Hyperfixations are intense, prolonged interests common in autistic individuals, often dominating their focus. Josh's identified hyperfixations include:

=== Luxury ===
Josh's behaviors highly suggest a fascination with luxury items or lifestyles, even early on. For instance, his [[World of T-Shirts]] store had a sister site called "All Things Luxury", and in various videos Josh has suggested that he lives a lifestyle of luxury<ref>https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshua-block-87381114a/</ref>, despite the fact that objectively, this could not be further from the truth.

=== Travel ===
Josh frequently creates content in various locations, such as [[New York City]] and [[Japan]], with a [[Tokyo Abduction|notable breakdown in Japan on February 15, 2025]], indicating a strong interest in exploring new places.<ref>https://www.tmz.com/2025/02/15/joshua-block-tiktok-has-breakdown-in-japan-police-detain/</ref>

=== Transit Systems ===
Josh regularly posts selfies of him at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn St. subway station, known as "[[Ahoyt|Ahoyts]]". His fixation on transit systems is also inferred from his frequent use and mention of public transportation in videos like the [[Amtrak Train Video]], and Josh showing expertise in navigating New York via the MTA subway system.

=== Lawsuits ===
Josh has shown a heavy fixation on lawsuits and the legal system since at least 2023<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/12l25y6/josh_lawsuit_master_plan/</ref>, while also demonstrating a clear lack of knowledge on how the legal system works. It's likely that Josh sees the US legal system as something that can easily be used to get free money if something were to happen to him. He has made completely empty legal threats to anyone who [[Trolls|harasses]] him, while also constantly bemoaning that he can't afford a lawyer. Fans had once speculated that [[Quinn]] may have gotten this idea into Josh's head.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/136iyqq/a_theory_on_joshs_obession_with_suing_people/</ref>

=== Exotic / Taboo Foods ===
Josh has expressed interest in exotic or taboo foods. The most glaring example of such is Josh claiming that he ate golden retriever dog meat while in [[Japan]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1iqx6kk/golden_retriever/</ref> This was explicitly [[Racism|racist]], as Josh later said he would eat cat if he visited China as "that's what they eat all the time."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1istsve/josh_talks_about_eating_dogs_and_cats_and_frankie/</ref> On a related note, Josh once purchased cooked Chicken McNuggets to feed to live chickens on farms.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1j4akl5/cap_feeds_chicken_nuggets_to_chickens/</ref>

These hyperfixations shape his content and public interactions, often intertwining with his stimming behaviors during live streams or public appearances.

== Impact and Context ==
Josh's autism contributes to his unique online presence but also complicates his public interactions, leading to incidents of violence, discrimination, and legal issues. His stimming and hyperfixations, while characteristic of ASD, are often amplified by stress, intoxication, or external influences, as seen in his documented behavior. Understanding these traits provides insight into his actions and challenges as a public figure.

Los Angeles

[[Josh Block|Josh's]] visits to Los Angeles have become infamous due to a series of [[Meltdowns|crashouts]] he had.

On April 23rd 2025, Josh, [[Jack Doherty]], [[Santos|Santos,]] their girlfriends and other IRL streamers went via a party bus to a wine tasting event on the outskirts of Los Angeles a few hours drive away. A sequence of events including Josh hitting a female (streamer?) and crashing out due to many of the entourage intentionally and increasingly irritating him on the bus to the event, Josh eventually had a major crash out at the event address which involved him hitting people including Santos, and resulted in Josh then getting chased by him. Due to the fact he was getting a taste of his own medicine, which has been rare due to Josh being [[Autism|autistic]], Josh decided to call the emergency services to report Santos and get him arrested. This resulted in the police to attend the address. After some thirty minutes or so of questioning, and Josh getting noticeably concerned about his own actions, the police made no arrests, the event was cut short and they all went back to Los Angeles. All the while Josh was paranoid that the police were following him on the way back.

On July 4th 2025, after his “sober week”, Josh intensely crashed out in Newport Beach and [[4th Of July Arrest|ended up getting arrested]]. Josh was then released hours later.

S0gekng is one of the most notorious trolls in the lore, most famously for [[Rolex Incident|attempting to steal Josh's Rolex on livestream]].
S0gekng was arrested outside Mr Based's apartment whilst streaming and attempting to serve legal documents from Alex Novell for unknown reasons.

[[File:Josh Toenails.png|alt=A goblin living under a bridge has better looking toenails.|thumb|A goblin living under a bridge has better looking toenails.]]
[[Josh Block|Josh]] is notorious for his poor hygiene, as a result of his autism, alcoholism, and [[Homeless Arc|lack of a home]]. He is known to pick his nose, ears, and rear end, not change his clothes for weeks on end, avoid showering, sleep on public transport, and eat/drink/touch filthy items. Many videos have captured Josh walking through the streets covered in his own bodily fluids, which he appears to be indifferent towards. Josh regularly gets [[List of Josh's Tattoos|tattoos]] that he does not take care of, running the risk of infection. Notably in late 2024, Josh's hygiene became so bad that he broke out in a severe rash and was [[Monkey Pox Scare|mistakenly diagnosed with monkey pox]].

'''Douglas Skates''', also known as '''Young Dougla''' is one of the most notorious [[trolls]] in the lore. He is a YouTube prankster from Las Vegas, who has successfully caused Josh to have a major crash out on several of his trips to Vegas, which became content for Douglas' YouTube channel. Because of that, Josh often refers to him as the '''Evil Witch'''. On Josh's first Las Vegas trip in 2023, he was streaming on [[TikTok]], when Douglas proceeded to stream snipe him, causing Josh to have a [[Las Vegas Crashout|crashout]]. [[Michael Quinn]] allegedly sent goons after him, causing Douglas to call-out Michael Quinn for using drugs on Quinn's TikTok livestream, prompting Quinn to end his livestream shortly afterwards.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1hjskrv/douglas_skates_makes_quinn_end_livestream_after/</ref> After suffering yet another Skates crashout, Josh attempted to [[9-1-1|call the police]].<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1g4v5zl/josh_calls_911_over_douglas_skates_full_clip/</ref> He or other people using his name have donated to Mr. Based's streams in order to trigger Josh.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1g6pn4u/everyone_donating_as_douglas_skates_to_piss_off/</ref> Douglas has claimed on Reddit that he got [[Sigmas]], a Josh fan, banned from that site.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/user/youngdougla#res:ner-page=2</ref>

He has also made other Josh Block related videos, such as one where he blasts the audio of Josh's crash outs in a library. He has appeared every time that Josh has been to [[Las Vegas]]. At one point, he was able to trick Josh into thinking that he was a different person named '''Rougla'''. Josh only found out after he left Las Vegas. He has now become Josh's Las Vegas handler. Douglas has gifted Josh [[Animal_Cruelty#Throwing_Fish_Out_of_a_Window|a goldfish]], whom Josh named Jason in 2025, as a peace offering.<ref>https://www.tiktok.com/@youngdoogla/video/7498558839281683743</ref> The goldfish was never seen again after being handed to Josh.<ref>https://old.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1k8l39v/douglas_skates_worldoftshirts/</ref>

Self Harm

{{CW}}{{HealthDisclosure}}{{Quote|quote=I just tried to jump on the tracks... Yeah, I just tried to commit suicide I tried to jump on the tracks... [''sobbing'']|author=Josh immediately after attempting to jump onto train tracks}}

One of the signs of [[Josh Block|Joshua Block's]] poor [[Josh and Mental Health|mental health]] is frequent '''self harm''' in the form of biting himself, banging his head against things, and punching himself.

== Biting Self ==
Self-injurious behavior in [[autism]] involves actions such as biting, hitting, or scratching oneself, often as a response to distress or sensory overload.<ref>https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/behaviour/self-injurious-behaviour/all-audiences</ref> In the case of Josh, an autistic individual, this behavior primarily manifests as hand biting.

Before participating in streams with Mr. Based, Josh rarely exhibited this behavior; one example was a June 2023 meltdown.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1425s1h/josh_meltdown/</ref> However, in 2024, Josh's self-injurious actions increased alongside more frequent meltdowns.

In June, 2025, during an incident where Josh believed Santos [[Broken Nose Meltdown|broke his nose]] with a soft basketball, Josh bit [[Jack Doherty]], leaving a red welt on his skin and causing Jack to wail in pain. Josh explained, "''Sorry, I thought I was biting my own arm.''" <ref>https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKXR9vJO_bk/</ref>

== Hitting His Head Against Various Objects ==
There are a handful of examples of Josh dinging his head against walls, poles, and even the window of a Chicago Walgreens.

=== Nathan's Seafood ===
In November 2024, [[Jason Itzler|Mr. Based]] streamed Josh gently tapping his head against a pole outside of Nathan's Seafood in NYC. [https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1fqyu33/josh_crashes_out_and_bangs_his_head_on_a_pole/]

=== Chicago Walgreens ===
In May 2025, during a Chicago fry-bagging incident, Josh attempted to run head first into a Walgreens window, fortunately, he did not exert full force so that [[Tony Bame|Tony]] could hold him back from getting into this violent altercation with said window. [https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1khg860/josh_tries_to_run_head_first_through_walgreens/]

=== Broken Nose Meltdown ===
In June 2025, two separate incidents occurred at residences associated with internet personality [[Jack Doherty]]. In this first incident, Josh reportedly put his head through drywall following an altercation with [[Santos]], who had thrown a soft basketball at him, leading Josh to believe his nose was horribly [[Broken Nose Meltdown|broken]]. [https://www.tiktok.com/@joshblocktok/video/7510807721290124574]

=== Lost Hat Incident ===
The second incident in June 2025 also involved Josh damaging drywall at a Doherty residence. Josh, being a captain, had lost his second-to-last West Marine official captain's hat on a yacht--an event that sent him spiraling into a full-blown frenzy. He stormed around in a blind panic, attempting to coerce Jack to call the yacht’s owner to locate his missing property, and taking it on himself to call the police. During this incident, there was, once again, a head-shaped dent in the wall. [https://www.tiktok.com/@notpuradark/video/7511202931027266847]

== Suicide Attempts ==

=== LIRR suicide attempt ===
On July 27, 2024, an incident involving Josh occurred near a Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) station in Staten Island. According to witness accounts, the situation began after Josh was reportedly removed from Richmond Republic, a local bar, for allegedly punching another patron. Following the altercation, he became increasingly agitated, shouting about "America being backwards" before heading toward the train tracks in visible distress.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1ee153k/josh_seriously_needs_help/?sort=qa</ref>

Multiple bystanders, primarily teenagers, attempted to intervene after hearing screams in a nearby Wendy’s parking lot. They described Josh as being in an extreme state of distress, stimming uncontrollably for approximately 30 minutes while resisting attempts to calm him down. Josh also called his [[Grandpa Block|grandfather]], informing him of his suicide attempt and [[Catchphrases|continuing to complain]] about [[America]].<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1eeezd8/josh_talking_on_the_phone_after_attempting_to/</ref> When someone suggested calling emergency services, and upon realizing he was being filmed, Josh reportedly became more agitated, kicking one individual and refusing assistance, saying he couldn't afford another hospital bill.<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/WorldOfTShirts/comments/1eeewm3/josh_tries_to_assault_one_of_the_filmers_of_the/</ref>

Several witnesses attempted to physically restrain him, but he continued screaming and lashing out. Eventually, a group accompanied him onto a train to St. George to ensure his safety, though they admitted lacking experience in crisis intervention. The situation was partially recorded in videos posted by the bystanders, some of which were posted by [[Mr. Based]].\\

== Threats Against His Well-Being ==
Josh has frequently made alarming and bizarre statements regarding his physical well-being. In addition to making self-destructive comments, he is known for threatening surreal or extreme alterations to his own body, often involving the removal or disabling of limbs or organs.

=== Removal Of His Hands ===
In a video uploaded on November 28th, 2024, Josh is recorded saying ''"I won't be needing these hands anymore.''" while making karate-chopping motions at his wrist. [https://www.tiktok.com/@wrldoftshirt/video/7442459240549092641]

=== Removal Of His Spinal Cord ===
In a video uploaded on March 26th, 2025, he states: ''"You know what? Maybe I should pay a doctor like $2,000 to damage my spinal cords so that I can't walk. I should pay a Nigerian doctor to disable my spinal cord. I would be happier because I would be in a nursing home, so nobody could bother me anymore."''
