== Important Locations ==

=== Hoyt–Schermerhorn Street ===

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.

=== Mr. Based's Apartment ===

'''Mr. Based's Apartment''', owned by [[Jason Itzler]], is a notable location on St. Marks Place in the East Village, Manhattan, [[New York City]], frequently used as a setting for [[Josh Block|Josh]]'s livestreams. The apartment has gained attention for its cluttered, eclectic decor and its role in Josh's online content, often marked by controversial incidents.

=== Durgey's Bar ===

'''Durgy's Bar''' is a dive bar that is a frequent streaming location in the [[Mr. Based Era]]. Formerly named '''The Area 140 First Bar''', Josh and [[Mr. Based]] refers to it as "Durgy's" or "Durgy's Bar" after its owner, Michael Durgavich.

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.

On April 10, 2025 Mr. Based was arrested inside the bar for violating the restraining order protecting [[Alex Novell]].

== Notable Incidents ==

=== Stomping a Fish (June 2021) ===

''Main ~~article: [[~~Fish Stomping Incident~~]]''~~

Josh’s NYC saga kicked into high gear when he stomped a fish to death, grinning and saying, "I want to smash its brains out." His later excuses—he was "set up" and dared—didn’t stop a hotel swatting fallout, setting the tone for his city tenure.<ref>https://worldoftshirts.weebly.com/stomping-a-fish-to-death.html</ref>

=== Train Piss (August 28, 2024) ===

''Main ~~article: [[~~Beatbox Incident~~]]''~~

Back from San Francisco, Josh whipped it out on a subway to refill a Beatbox carton with urine, dubbed "The Captain dropping his barnacle anchor" by fans. Censorship led to an artistic redraw.<ref>https://worldoftshirts.weebly.com/train-piss.html</ref>
