== Background ==
 
=== "Part 1" ===
The events followed a previous livestream on July 19, where Josh and Based visited bars in Manhattan before abruptly ending the stream after Josh became agitated over Based interacting with strangers. The July 20 streams began the next day.
 
== Streams (Timeline of Events) ==
 
=== Initial Stream (Part 2) ===
Mr. Based began the first livestream of the day, though the short, initial segment was lost after his phone reportedly restarted. The surviving "Part 2" stream began with Josh already exhibiting severe impairment, including slurred speech, confusion, and difficulty standing. Approximately 41 minutes into the broadcast, Mr. Based explicitly noted Josh’s intoxicated state. Despite this, he provided Josh with Twisted Tea and Beatbox beverages, both containing high alcohol content.
 
At '''56 minutes''', Josh attempted to stand but collapsed onto a small table, clinging to the kitchen sink to avoid vomiting. Mr. Based dismissed concerns about Josh’s condition and suggested they leave for a haircut. Josh struggled to walk, stumbling repeatedly as they exited the apartment.
 
==== Leaving the Apartment ====
[[File:Josh in the road on his back.png|alt=A drunken fool fallen in the road, screaming his lungs out.|thumb|A drunken fool fallen in the road, screaming his lungs out.]]
Less than two minutes after departing, Josh urinated in public on a Manhattan street. Mr. Based expressed visible concern and redirected Josh back toward the apartment. During this effort, Josh confusedly asked, “Oh, you’re Mr. Based?” before breaking free and falling into the road, narrowly avoiding traffic and screaming at the top of his lungs. Mr. Based helped him up, but Josh insisted he was “fine” and demanded they proceed with the haircut.
 
Mr. Based briefly left Josh unattended on the apartment steps to retrieve an item. Upon returning, Josh continued shouting “Let’s go!” A group of fans approached, leading to a chaotic interaction where Josh attempted—and failed—to physically drag Mr. Based away, due to stream snipers calling out Based. A bystander woman engaged Mr. Based in conversation, temporarily shifting focus from Josh, who was later seen hunched over his phone.


Josh began melting down on the steps, and was clearly hallucinating (due to the seroquel and alcohol he drank) screaming phrases like “MAKE IT STOP!” As Coldplay’s "Viva la Vida" played (misidentified by Mr. Based as "Bittersweet Symphony"), Josh continued to freak out. The woman speculated Josh was under the influence of heroin. Shortly afterwards, two NYPD officers arrived. They assisted a resistant Josh indoors, where he repeatedly declined hospitalization, citing lack of insurance. He was placed on a couch, ending the stream.

Josh and Based 20 minutes before leaving the apartment, unaware of the chaos that would follow

Josh continued shouting “Let’s go!” A group of fans approached, leading to a chaotic interaction where Josh attempted—and failed—to physically drag Mr. Based away, due to stream snipers calling out Based. A bystander woman engaged Mr. Based in conversation, temporarily shifting focus from Josh, who was later seen hunched over his phone.

Josh began melting down on the steps, and was clearly hallucinating (due to the seroquel and alcohol he drank) screaming phrases like “MAKE IT STOP!” As Coldplay’s "Viva la Vida" played (misidentified by Mr. Based as "Bittersweet Symphony"), Josh continued to freak out. The woman speculated Josh was under the influence of heroin. Shortly afterwards, two NYPD officers arrived. They assisted a resistant Josh indoors, where he repeatedly declined hospitalization, citing lack of insurance. He was placed on a couch, ending the stream.

Josh Passed Out (Part 3)

A subsequent brief stream showed Josh unconscious on the couch. Mr. Based appeared momentarily, expressing unease about broadcasting Josh’s condition, before ending the broadcast.

Josh Wakes Up (Part 4)

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 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.

Mr. Based initially refused to pursue him, citing low battery, but later found Josh slumped on a sidewalk, claiming to await an Uber's arrival. The stream cut off as Mr. Based attempted to return him to the apartment.

Emergency Services Intervention (Parts 7 & 8)

Final streams showed Josh unconscious again on the couch. Mr. Based reactivated TTS and media-share donations, which played memes, loud alarms, and a seven-minute rendition of "Taps". Emergency services arrived after a viewer’s 911 call, with obscured footage showing responders assisting Josh. He was reportedly taken away in a police car, though this was not filmed. Mr. Based later claimed they had been “swatted,” though authorities returned to investigate without making arrests.

Aftermath

Viewers debated the cause of Josh's extreme behavior. Some suspected he had been drugged by Mr. Based.

The next day, Josh attempted to retell the events, claiming that he had to get stitches from hitting the head on his concrete (although this was immediately proven false on the same stream). Josh also had no memory of what had happened, then confirmed that he had taken 400mg of Seroquel, claiming "it's not that bad" and that his psychiatrist assured him it wouldn't harm him.[1] A few days prior to the incident, Josh had been seen taking the medication on stream, according to viewers.[2]

The general consensus among the community was that the massive amount of alcohol Josh drank, mixed with the seroquel, caused Josh to be extremely incapacitated, erratic, and have brief hallucinations.
