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. [1]

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.[2]

When the group was ordering food, "Mustard Man" approached them and showed them "fan art" from the discord server, further agitating Josh. "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.[3]

Aftermath

As the group was exiting the mall, Jack was "panic ordering Ubers"[4] 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".

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. [5]

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"

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

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