== Summary of Incident ==

On July 20th, Josh showed up at Mr. Based’s apartment drunk. They shared drinks together before going to get a haircut, and on the way, Josh urinated on the middle of the sidewalk, then fell into the road and started screaming. Mr. Based called off the haircut immediately and took him back to his apartment stairs, where Josh sat for a while. A group of girls showed up, and Mr. Based chatted with them.

They shared drinks together before going to get a haircut, and on the way, Josh urinated on the middle of the sidewalk, then fell into the road and started screaming. Mr. Based called off the haircut immediately and took him back to his apartment stairs, where Josh sat for a while. A group of girls showed up, and Mr. Based chatted with them.

After Josh sat there for some time playing music, a girl walked by and began talking with Mr. Based. During the interaction, Josh began screaming and moaning, yelling "MAKE IT STOP!!!" and "HELP IT STOP!!!", clearly hallucinating (which is later revealed to be due to him consuming a large amount or seroquel). Mr. Based attempts to calm Josh, but to no avail. The girl questioned Mr. Based on if Josh is withdrawing from heroin, to which Mr. Based responds, "It's just pure alcohol".

Line 16:

Mr Based leaves the apartment some time later and runs into some police officers, who have been summoned by the restaurant next door due to Josh's lunacy. They tell him to go back inside. Mr Based sneaks away and eventually finds Josh sitting in the street waiting for an Uber. He convinces him to come back to the apartment.

Josh ends up back on Mr. Based's chair, where he falls back into unconsciousness. Authorities eventually come to the apartment, where they escort Josh away.

Line 44:

An unknown time later, a "Part 4" stream resumed with Josh still unconscious. Six minutes in, Mr. Based FaceTimed [[Michael Quinn]]. At Quinn’s suggestion, Mr. Based threw water on Josh to wake him. Josh regained consciousness but remained disoriented, yet still reacting aggressively to TTS donations that mocked or provoked him.

==== Assault and Escape ====

At 24 minutes, two individuals arrived for Josh’s scheduled [[The World of T-Shirts Experience|NYC tour]]. Josh demanded order confirmation and grew increasingly agitated, eventually striking Mr. Based. The guests attempted to escort Josh out, but he stumbled down the apartment stairs, fell, and screamed uncontrollably. After striking one guest and Mr. Based, Josh fled into the street.
