Quad Recording Studios

Quad Recording Studios is a recording studio where Joshua has recorded several of his tracks (which ones?) and has streamed multiple times. Josh or Mr. Based are not welcome back: Josh has been SWATTed numerous times, and there was a commotion in November 2024 when Mr. Based brought Alana to the studio who lost her phone. The engineers have been subject to numerous harassing TTS.

Lost Phone Incident

On November 15th 2024, Mr. Based and Josh met a young woman named Alana at a bar a night before this incident on stream, and they got talking. The next night, Mr. Based was able to convince Alana to come to his apartment to be featured on the livestream in order to get some content with Josh. They all planned to go to Quad Recording Studios for Josh to record some songs. As were in the taxi going to the studio, Alana realised that she didn't have her phone on her, and she became very concerned. She checked the taxi but it wasn't there. She requested Mr. Based and Josh to help her find it, asking to go back to the apartment, and then to use their respective phones to access her Apple account and Find My iPhone (something that could be done within 5-10 minutes), but the two declined every request and wasn't interested in helping her, with Mr. Based saying that she's probably left it at the apartment and that shouldn't be concerned, and Josh making up excuses to not give her access to his phone. Mr. Based tried to justify his unwillingness to help as that he paid $700 for the studio time and were already one hour late. Understandably, Alana became very withdrawn given that she was with these two men that she's only known for about 24 hours. Text to speech donations started coming in real time warning Alana that Mr Based is dangerous due to his notoriety of immoral behaviour towards young women, referencing Julia Sumnicht and accusing Mr. Based of hiding her phone intentionally, and pointing out that both Mr. Based and Josh were being unreasonable and indifferent to her concerns, which made her increasingly uncomfortable.

Alana, who now effectively has stay with Mr. Based and Josh in the studio, due to the possibility that her phone may still be in the apartment, told Mr Based that he was being rude and insensitive to her situation. Mr Based told her that she "ruined the stream over her phone", and he prioritised filming Josh over listening to what Alana was trying to convey to him, cutting her off mid-sentence to focus on Josh.

In a glimmer of humanity, concerned viewers used TTS reassuring Alana that they looked back at the stream footage and saw her phone on the table in the apartment, and that Mr. Based did not intentionally hide it, which was true, although wasn't confirmed at the time. Mr. Based seized on this opportunity and asked viewers to donate $200 to "kick her out" and go back to the apartment, cutting short the studio time, in which a $200 donation came through, but he was apprehensive about going back immediately, telling Alana that she can wait outside the studio in the lobby until they were done recording "in 25 minutes", effectively kicking her out.

Fortunately for Alana, the sound engineer gave access to his phone to access Find My iPhone, and offstream she got her phone back and was ok after this incident.

In summary, this incident really demonstrated how uncooperative and apathetic both Mr. Based and Josh are towards women, and was a big turning point for many viewers on their opinion on the two.
