It's because people with autism who pick up on drugs or alcohol are more likely to develop an addiction than someone who's neurotypical, which is the exact reason why I don't plan on picking any of those up
Guy with ASD here; op is right. A big reason why a lot of people with autism turn to the bottle is mainly as a way to handle the stress of a world that you can’t understand. However, this is obviously not a good way to release stress, especially if you may have medication in your system that helps you get through the day, as well as other factors. It’s important to not only drink responsibly, but find alternative ways to relieve stress.

As an autistic person myself, I’ve dealt with my share of “trolls”. I’ve dealt with a lot of them on Facebook and it was really affecting my mental health. I decided to stop going on facebook and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. People don’t realize how much trolling has an effect on people especially when their minds are already fragile.
i get trolled allot as someone with moderate to severe Autism there really mean and i often dint realise it. and it hapoen alot in on discord and i am glad that it dont have much anymore
There's 86,400 seconds in a day. At the rate you're talking about, one billboard could make just under a quarter of a million a day and over $84 million a year (not accounting for special days like holidays and celebrations that they'd probably jack the price up on).
I’m just speculating here, but considering that it’s a tourist hotspot AND the sheer amount of traffic, it’s probably actually MORE lucrative to price it like that. I’m sure people do proposals, jokes, etc. nonstop and pay a way higher rate (not total price) than a Fortune 500 company would to advertise. If you can fill 24 hours with that nonsense you’re making unbelievable money.
Stalking an autistic kid around and literally torturing him is insane. Sure he's a weird wacky internet personality but he's clearly in need of guidance. People are sad, that's gotta be some of the lowest shit I've heard of.
honestly, the comorbidity of alcoholism and autism is so depressing. you've got something which makes someone awkward, shy, and out of place in many situations, and a drug which is well known for bringing your walls down and undoing all of those social issues temporarily. tack on the unawareness of social conventions, such as how to act correctly and respectfully when you're intoxicated, or appropriate times of day to be drinking in the first place, as well as alcoholic drinks being so accessible, socially accepted and in such a range of tastes that very few sensory aversions aren't catered for, and you have a recipe for really nasty, difficult to stop habits. i've never considered myself an alcoholic but even as someone who has lower support needs than WOT seems to have i've fallen into that trap of drinking to stop all these issues i experience, no matter what time of day, or how much alcohol it'd be appropriate to drink at several points in my life. it's just sad seeing another autistic person gradually killing themselves through what seems to be an effort to just break those issues down that he's had his whole life, as well as the newer ones he's found after being in the public eye
Hey, just wanted to say same. I wouldn't say I have an addictive personality but my drinking habits do increase wherever social demands conflict with my nature. I'm self employed now so I can go outside at off peak hours, don't have to drag myself out of focus constantly for my boss's or colleagues whims, don't have to be in a bright, chaotic environment and analyse my body language and tone constantly to keep up with work politics. I rarely drink or feel the need to take substances at all these days, but when I had a "normal" job and a regular friend group that liked to hang out together after work, i'd need to drink a lot just to prevent myself burning out and going non verbal, which would simply cause everything to collapse. A lot of health conditions i've had since i was a little kid have even fallen off the radar now. I hope things are going okay for you and if they aren't, I hope you know there's a chance.
@@morgantorium thanks for your kind words :) i’m in a great position now. i’m not one of those preachy potheads but cannabis does wonders so alcohol is hardly on my mind except socially. it’s just not many people seem to consider that autism and substance use disorders are unfortunately a match made in hell. WOT is falling off hard, as do several other autistic individuals that end up being in the public eye. i think even chris chan used to drink a lot at some points, and i believe in sonichu public intoxication was grounds for jail, as well as their constant preaching against it until they took the plunge and tried a long island iced tea in ‘chris’ big night out’. obviously the ones in the public eye are probably gonna be a lot worse off since it’s a whole different world of issues but it really shines a light on how poisonous unhealthy substance use can be for autistic individuals edit: not for the faint of heart but i think alcohol was one of the main reasons for chris chans ‘self inflicted taint wound’ (VERY strong content warning if you want to look it up for whatever reason)
I’m autistic and I almost became an alcoholic for that reason. If I didn’t live with my parents who were observant, I would’ve been like him now. Now I barely drink.
Wow this guy is somehow simultaneously extremely depressing while living a life more interesting than anything I've ever done. Wish I had the balls to just spend all my money on food and traveling while living in the moment.
Sure... but 20 years from now his liver will be fucked, his brain will be damaged, he'll be broke. And he'll watch old videos of him and think, "I don't remember any of this." Not exactly "living the dream".
Josh likes to go to a bar that is not far from me. He walks down the quiet suburb at 2am screaming. Its like a quest to find him and meet him when he comes, but I hope he gets help. It is sad to see him drunk 24/7
As someone with a family history of ASD and ADHD i can not process the thought of Josh being out in the wilds of NYC... this is straight out of a horror movie for ASD. Being touchen, shouted at, followed, stalked.... And then the alcohol of course... I can not enjoy any of this, i'm glad you documented it tho.
Worldofalcoholtracker was how I got word of him. As a reformed alcoholic, it broke my heart. Everything and everyone around him seems to be enabling his self destruction and will lead to him dying of liver failure before 30. Pray he gets the help he needs 🙏
As a recovered alcoholic and pill popper who is also autistic, it also breaks my heart to see how far he’s fallen, even if he’s generally considered as a bad person.
Basically just the usual lolcow stuff, the internet bullying some poor autistic guy and it all getting massively out of hand from there. However like Daniel larson or chris chan, there's no argument that he "deserves" what's happening to him. As someone on the spectrum, I find the treatment of josh by the online community (and the people of new york) disgusting. There is a fundimental lack of perspective from the general public in these videos that I've never seen before. These people are ruthless to josh dude, he's CLEARLY on the spectrum, even if you don't know about autism, it should be clear he's mentally impared in some way by his speech patterns/manurisms and to like... not harass him/to cut him a little slack when it comes to not always following social conventions, but nope, shouting at him, following him, stealing his hat, etc seems to just be a big laugh to tiktok. Also it's sadly very common for autistic people to succumb to addiction, these videos just show why, when you live in a world that you don't feel like you belong in, it's easy to want an escape, I can only imagine it gets 1000x worse when you're famous and constantly being harassed for photos and being trolled etc. Frankly I worry for josh and I hope his situation gets better.
Yep sadly as an autistic I'm a weed and nicotine addict 😢 Got introduced at 15 and it's the only thing that makes me feel normal and not wanna stim til I'm in pain
I recently discovered your channel and just wanted to say that I really appreciate that you consistently call out people for their shitty behavior, regardless of their role in the video. A true mark of quality.
Can’t wait for the onlyuseblade and worldoftshirts crossover to happen I could imagine Joshua Block saying fire sales while blade is on the couch saying figured it out dude your poor dude scram 🔥🔥🔥🔥
18:37 ... getting serious Jeffrey Dahmer vibes here. When he went fishing with a friend and caught a small fish, he apparently stabbed it repeatedly with a knife until it was basically sushi.
Yeah but arguably there's a difference between the emotions behind it. Dahmer derived pleasure from doing that to the fish where as josh was probably trying to be funny but because of his disabilities he doesn't understand real animal cruelty isn't funny Edit: only watched the initial slam before responding maybe bro is a little psychotic
@@highmaxedoutlife6285 To your edit: yeah, just like Dahmer. Josh seemed to get a real kick out of it as well when he stomped on that fish. He took it further than he needed to just for the sake of being funny.
Only came across this channel this morning (I’m from the UK) and I’ve been binging since 😂. Amazing content dude, you’ll hit a mill subs and more in no time! 🖤
I know were all here to oggle at Josh, but i think a special derogatory shout out should go to all the losers that hover around him. The guy isnt great, but i cannot think of a bigger waste of time and output of negative energy to doing any of this. Especially that guy who stalked him around the whole city. Thats goes beyond sad, beyond scummy, to just straight psychopathic. Josh and many of these lolcows may be awful, but theres an especially sadder existence to those who build a career parasitically off these guys
Yes it's so effed up that someone decides to stalk and harass him all day. That's a big problem I see with these lolcows. The people who go after them. What kind of pathetic human being do you have to be to go out if your way to to go after them? It's always more disturbing than the lolcow
As an Aspie, alcohol had me by the fucking throat for like 2-4yrs. I wouldn’t be as awkward and things felt like “smoother” but the reality was I was just piss drunk at any given time and couldn’t see how bad I was.

Just finished binging pretty much all of your videos. I had them on in the background as I work from home. Idk what it is but there is something so intriguing about all of these stories/people to me. Keep up the great work!
Hell yes gonna enjoy this after work Edit: After a couple fat dabs and some honey bbq wings this was the perfect end to my night. Really great research and you covered all the key topics I feel are important to Josh's story. The bluegill incident and his public freakouts are definitely disturbing and annoying but he definitely doesn't fully understand the consequences behind his destructive actions, like drinking or yelling in public, and should be in the care of adult protective services. With that being said, I agree with you that groomers who take advantage of vulnerable adults (Ryan the Lion, Josh) like Michael Quinn have a special place in hell. I think there's enough info and bad things he's done for you to do a future video on him. He definitely has an interesting backstory as you touched upon and there's a lot of evil stuff he's done: he's a racist, misogynistic, narcissistic chronic liar who enables Josh's drinking problem, he's been racist to irl people on live and dropped the n-word-hard-r bomb a couple times, and livestreamed a passed out girl who was most likely drunk. There's rumors about even worse allegations but they are just that so I won't delve into them but let's just say it has to do with his affinity for young women and the high school he was a substitute teacher for. Love the video and look forward to your future lolcow coverage per usual 🫡
Josh is not a bad person but more a person with issues that need to be addressed, comparing him and Daniel Larson was a disaster and i hope pne day he does find the will to become sober, autism or not hes a fun watch!
I feel so bad for him, he speaks like a child and probably has the mental capacity of one too. Thank God that there are some people who are actually nice to him.
To comment on the Times Square video - those prices are if someone has the billboard space for a full day. There are options to rent out for only minutes. One of my good friends rented one of the billboards for all of a few minutes promote his community play. It only cost around $40.
as someone with autism, i feel for him. I struggle with alcohol consumtion like drinking too much. And the fact that no one in his life is actually trying to get him help. It saddens me to see his decline, a decline that couldve been prevented.
i like that you always mention how messed up the trolls making these people's situations worse are in your documentaries, as well as your knowledge on how autism affects these people.
OK so a couple of people in the comments have already pointed this out, but what the hell is that in the background to the left of Josh's shoulder at 5:30? It kinda just maneuvers in and out of the camera view. Looks really spooky.
12:13 me personally i dont think thats true, I believe Josh understood the exploitative nature of these interactions, but he doesnt know how to deal with it. Amazing video as usual tho my guy 🙏
I love how his excuse for stomping tf out of a fish is that he wasn’t paid for the video so the video shouldn’t have existed anyways like that makes it better 😂
It’s sad I use to drink like this. I drank like this for 10 years. I’m 7 years sober now but I remember being where he is right now and I just feel sad. Also there is a huge link between mental illness or neurodivergent minds. I have bipolar 1. It used it to regulate
@@Trahzy It's diagnosed by levels now apparently, so he's ATSIE LV2, probably. By which I mean, there's an imperative overriding anything else: a pure self-interest. They can be incredibly capable or even pr3datory to turn their disadvantages to various forms of profits: IE: social interactions are supposed to be a big problem?

He's extremely quick to point out who "good (gives me sympathy and clout)" and who "a bad/hater (gives negative feedback&criticism and no stuff gained)". Don't be fooled, that's all.

Must be something in the water. Probably why DC is such a cesspit.
As an autistic person myself, I’ve dealt with my share of “trolls”. I’ve dealt with a lot of them on Facebook and it was really affecting my mental health. I decided to stop going on facebook and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. People don’t realize how much trolling has an effect on people especially when their minds are already fragile.
I have massive anxiety it's at time debilitating people use to pick on me about it . I ignore it now but I know how it can be .
❤️
i get trolled allot as someone with moderate to severe Autism there really mean and i often dint realise it. and it hapoen alot in on discord and i am glad that it dont have much anymore
Hope your doing good brother 🙏💪
Internet is not your personal hugbox.

W comment, love that damn show!!
You can get a 15 second ad for like 40 bucks in times square which blew my mind cause you'd think the shit would at least be 200
There's 86,400 seconds in a day.
At the rate you're talking about, one billboard could make just under a quarter of a million a day and over $84 million a year (not accounting for special days like holidays and celebrations that they'd probably jack the price up on).
I’m just speculating here, but considering that it’s a tourist hotspot AND the sheer amount of traffic, it’s probably actually MORE lucrative to price it like that. I’m sure people do proposals, jokes, etc. nonstop and pay a way higher rate (not total price) than a Fortune 500 company would to advertise. If you can fill 24 hours with that nonsense you’re making unbelievable money.
Stalking an autistic kid around and literally torturing him is insane. Sure he's a weird wacky internet personality but he's clearly in need of guidance. People are sad, that's gotta be some of the lowest shit I've heard of.
L
Lolcows are popping up so frequently lately, almost staggering. looks like it's gonna be a busy year for you and others like you, Nick!
honestly, the comorbidity of alcoholism and autism is so depressing. you've got something which makes someone awkward, shy, and out of place in many situations, and a drug which is well known for bringing your walls down and undoing all of those social issues temporarily. tack on the unawareness of social conventions, such as how to act correctly and respectfully when you're intoxicated, or appropriate times of day to be drinking in the first place, as well as alcoholic drinks being so accessible, socially accepted and in such a range of tastes that very few sensory aversions aren't catered for, and you have a recipe for really nasty, difficult to stop habits. i've never considered myself an alcoholic but even as someone who has lower support needs than WOT seems to have i've fallen into that trap of drinking to stop all these issues i experience, no matter what time of day, or how much alcohol it'd be appropriate to drink at several points in my life. it's just sad seeing another autistic person gradually killing themselves through what seems to be an effort to just break those issues down that he's had his whole life, as well as the newer ones he's found after being in the public eye
Hey, just wanted to say same. I wouldn't say I have an addictive personality but my drinking habits do increase wherever social demands conflict with my nature. I'm self employed now so I can go outside at off peak hours, don't have to drag myself out of focus constantly for my boss's or colleagues whims, don't have to be in a bright, chaotic environment and analyse my body language and tone constantly to keep up with work politics.
I rarely drink or feel the need to take substances at all these days, but when I had a "normal" job and a regular friend group that liked to hang out together after work, i'd need to drink a lot just to prevent myself burning out and going non verbal, which would simply cause everything to collapse. A lot of health conditions i've had since i was a little kid have even fallen off the radar now. I hope things are going okay for you and if they aren't, I hope you know there's a chance.
@@morgantorium thanks for your kind words :) i’m in a great position now. i’m not one of those preachy potheads but cannabis does wonders so alcohol is hardly on my mind except socially. it’s just not many people seem to consider that autism and substance use disorders are unfortunately a match made in hell. WOT is falling off hard, as do several other autistic individuals that end up being in the public eye. i think even chris chan used to drink a lot at some points, and i believe in sonichu public intoxication was grounds for jail, as well as their constant preaching against it until they took the plunge and tried a long island iced tea in ‘chris’ big night out’. obviously the ones in the public eye are probably gonna be a lot worse off since it’s a whole different world of issues but it really shines a light on how poisonous unhealthy substance use can be for autistic individuals
edit: not for the faint of heart but i think alcohol was one of the main reasons for chris chans ‘self inflicted taint wound’ (VERY strong content warning if you want to look it up for whatever reason)
I’m autistic and I almost became an alcoholic for that reason. If I didn’t live with my parents who were observant, I would’ve been like him now. Now I barely drink.
“I’ll sue you for $1 million” has to be my favourite WOT isms 🤣
"I can't afford a lawyer!" is another great one.
Wow this guy is somehow simultaneously extremely depressing while living a life more interesting than anything I've ever done. Wish I had the balls to just spend all my money on food and traveling while living in the moment.
Sure... but 20 years from now his liver will be fucked, his brain will be damaged, he'll be broke. And he'll watch old videos of him and think, "I don't remember any of this." Not exactly "living the dream".
Seeing this notification pop up immediately made my day better 🙏🏻 keep up the amazing work!!
It is hard to even comprehend that Joshua cannot operate a vehicle 40% of the time
I’m sorry but when he speaks, his deadpan look just reminds me of Fallout 1 and 2 talking heads
Cabbot lmao
Don't be sorry that's fucking hilarious hahaha
Josh likes to go to a bar that is not far from me. He walks down the quiet suburb at 2am screaming. Its like a quest to find him and meet him when he comes, but I hope he gets help. It is sad to see him drunk 24/7
🧢
Oh my frigging gosh stop LYING BUCKO i dont like liers😡👿🤬
LIer here too… I saw people commenting on his videos yesterday begging him to go to Leaky :\
😢
Lol I never wanna hear Empire State of Mind again after watching this video. XD
I’ve never heard an American man sound so unintentionally English using one word “Me” 16:37
HAHAHAHAHAH
i think.. new york is a concrete jungle where dreams are made of.
there's nothing you can't do 😞
*filming himself everywhere he goes*
“OMG HOW DID HE KNOW I WAS HERE!! 🤬😂
I literally cackled at that ngl
As someone with a family history of ASD and ADHD i can not process the thought of Josh being out in the wilds of NYC... this is straight out of a horror movie for ASD.
Being touchen, shouted at, followed, stalked....
And then the alcohol of course...
I can not enjoy any of this, i'm glad you documented it tho.
I think there’s a few autistic people that are loud themselves and like sound
Worldofalcoholtracker was how I got word of him. As a reformed alcoholic, it broke my heart. Everything and everyone around him seems to be enabling his self destruction and will lead to him dying of liver failure before 30.
Pray he gets the help he needs 🙏
As a recovered alcoholic and pill popper who is also autistic, it also breaks my heart to see how far he’s fallen, even if he’s generally considered as a bad person.
From what ive seen. There are times where Josh at best spends 40hours a week sober.
Thats a full time job to be sober.
That’s actually insane to think about
Truth. And Josh isn't even a common name here.
Spending 40 hours a week drunk would be crazy in and of itself. Spending ALL BUT 40 hours a week drunk is actually insane.
@@fynnla.edont call me out.
Basically just the usual lolcow stuff, the internet bullying some poor autistic guy and it all getting massively out of hand from there. However like Daniel larson or chris chan, there's no argument that he "deserves" what's happening to him.
As someone on the spectrum, I find the treatment of josh by the online community (and the people of new york) disgusting. There is a fundimental lack of perspective from the general public in these videos that I've never seen before. These people are ruthless to josh dude, he's CLEARLY on the spectrum, even if you don't know about autism, it should be clear he's mentally impared in some way by his speech patterns/manurisms and to like... not harass him/to cut him a little slack when it comes to not always following social conventions, but nope, shouting at him, following him, stealing his hat, etc seems to just be a big laugh to tiktok.
Also it's sadly very common for autistic people to succumb to addiction, these videos just show why, when you live in a world that you don't feel like you belong in, it's easy to want an escape, I can only imagine it gets 1000x worse when you're famous and constantly being harassed for photos and being trolled etc. Frankly I worry for josh and I hope his situation gets better.
Yep sadly as an autistic I'm a weed and nicotine addict 😢 Got introduced at 15 and it's the only thing that makes me feel normal and not wanna stim til I'm in pain
My exact thoughts. - a sober alcoholic
He’s an adult, if he’s so handicapped then he needs a caretaker
I recently discovered your channel and just wanted to say that I really appreciate that you consistently call out people for their shitty behavior, regardless of their role in the video. A true mark of quality.
Can’t wait for the onlyuseblade and worldoftshirts crossover to happen I could imagine Joshua Block saying fire sales while blade is on the couch saying figured it out dude your poor dude scram 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Haha yes! Would love to see that.
18:37 ... getting serious Jeffrey Dahmer vibes here. When he went fishing with a friend and caught a small fish, he apparently stabbed it repeatedly with a knife until it was basically sushi.
Yeah but arguably there's a difference between the emotions behind it. Dahmer derived pleasure from doing that to the fish where as josh was probably trying to be funny but because of his disabilities he doesn't understand real animal cruelty isn't funny
Edit: only watched the initial slam before responding maybe bro is a little psychotic
@@highmaxedoutlife6285 To your edit: yeah, just like Dahmer. Josh seemed to get a real kick out of it as well when he stomped on that fish. He took it further than he needed to just for the sake of being funny.
did you just compare a mentally challenged person who did something bad to a fish… to a serial killer who also hurt a fish?
God armchair psychologists are exhausting.
Only came across this channel this morning (I’m from the UK) and I’ve been binging since 😂. Amazing content dude, you’ll hit a mill subs and more in no time! 🖤
I know were all here to oggle at Josh, but i think a special derogatory shout out should go to all the losers that hover around him. The guy isnt great, but i cannot think of a bigger waste of time and output of negative energy to doing any of this. Especially that guy who stalked him around the whole city. Thats goes beyond sad, beyond scummy, to just straight psychopathic.
Josh and many of these lolcows may be awful, but theres an especially sadder existence to those who build a career parasitically off these guys
Yes it's so effed up that someone decides to stalk and harass him all day. That's a big problem I see with these lolcows. The people who go after them. What kind of pathetic human being do you have to be to go out if your way to to go after them? It's always more disturbing than the lolcow
You should do an updates video. His new friend Mr.Based has made his life more miserable than ever.
World of T Shirts has been the weirdest rabbit hole to fall down
Ikr. Not a single t shirt review
Nah thats Cyrax
living in cancun for 52 days would be a lot better content than wondering NY drunk
As an Aspie, alcohol had me by the fucking throat for like 2-4yrs. I wouldn’t be as awkward and things felt like “smoother” but the reality was I was just piss drunk at any given time and couldn’t see how bad I was.
I hope you’re doing better now!
I don’t think he’s a bad guy he’s just been exploited a lot
see i can actually feel bad for this guy, considering the fact he ain’t a chomo 😂
tf is a chomo?

I love your channel. You are so kinda when talking about Josh but harsh af when it comes to people like Andy I respect that.
Just finished binging pretty much all of your videos. I had them on in the background as I work from home. Idk what it is but there is something so intriguing about all of these stories/people to me. Keep up the great work!
this existence of worldofalcoholtracker itself is such a statement about this guy
The glue on my hands tik tok is him quoting a song from Phineas and Ferb
Lmfao I'm like 50 miles from NYC and I never heard of this dude 😂 wild .
Wake up babe new lolcow documentary. Thanks bud
Hell yes gonna enjoy this after work
Edit: After a couple fat dabs and some honey bbq wings this was the perfect end to my night. Really great research and you covered all the key topics I feel are important to Josh's story. The bluegill incident and his public freakouts are definitely disturbing and annoying but he definitely doesn't fully understand the consequences behind his destructive actions, like drinking or yelling in public, and should be in the care of adult protective services. With that being said, I agree with you that groomers who take advantage of vulnerable adults (Ryan the Lion, Josh) like Michael Quinn have a special place in hell. I think there's enough info and bad things he's done for you to do a future video on him. He definitely has an interesting backstory as you touched upon and there's a lot of evil stuff he's done: he's a racist, misogynistic, narcissistic chronic liar who enables Josh's drinking problem, he's been racist to irl people on live and dropped the n-word-hard-r bomb a couple times, and livestreamed a passed out girl who was most likely drunk. There's rumors about even worse allegations but they are just that so I won't delve into them but let's just say it has to do with his affinity for young women and the high school he was a substitute teacher for. Love the video and look forward to your future lolcow coverage per usual 🫡
Michael Quinn did earn himself a spot on my coverage list! I totally agree with you and thank you for your support! Super appreciated!
Good comment... but that was so long. You definitely had a fat dab 😂😂
4:42 Why is there someone just standing in the darkness in the doorway 👀
For context he drank the equivalent of a pint of liquor a day for that month
Coming home from college to an upload makes my day damn good, keep up the good work.
You know what seeing him eat bugs made me wretch :[
Josh is not a bad person but more a person with issues that need to be addressed, comparing him and Daniel Larson was a disaster and i hope pne day he does find the will to become sober, autism or not hes a fun watch!
I feel so bad for him, he speaks like a child and probably has the mental capacity of one too. Thank God that there are some people who are actually nice to him.
I like how the only time he doesnt drink is between 5 and 7pm when most people drink wine
To comment on the Times Square video - those prices are if someone has the billboard space for a full day. There are options to rent out for only minutes. One of my good friends rented one of the billboards for all of a few minutes promote his community play. It only cost around $40.
The alcohol tracker ended up not posting about Josh anymore since Josh doesn’t post drinks on TikTok anymore😂
as someone with autism, i feel for him. I struggle with alcohol consumtion like drinking too much. And the fact that no one in his life is actually trying to get him help. It saddens me to see his decline, a decline that couldve been prevented.
His voice sounds just like Daniel Larson. I’d struggle to tell them apart in a blind test.
Just think of them as one who definitely sounds autistic and the other one who sounds like he hasn't developed testies yet.
Josh's voice is noticeably harsher, more stilted and deeper than Daniel's. Hope that helps.
Daniel talks way faster
“Exotic food check!”
Bro it’s literally bugs on a plate 😭
i like that you always mention how messed up the trolls making these people's situations worse are in your documentaries, as well as your knowledge on how autism affects these people.
Bit more than autism going on with these folks
OK so a couple of people in the comments have already pointed this out, but what the hell is that in the background to the left of Josh's shoulder at 5:30? It kinda just maneuvers in and out of the camera view. Looks really spooky.
Shadows
Great video again Nick! Thanks to Enigma i was able to watch it early :) Keep up the good work!! Love your stuff wish I could afford a membership :`)
Shoutout enigma! You don’t have to worry about that your time & support is super appreciated!
Your gonna blow up in subs keep up the great series
Walking onto my plane right now, I see this upload and I don’t have time to download it for my flight. My day is ruined.
Hope you had a good flight and were able to catch up on this "documentary".
The hat steeling thing really didn't sit well with me
29:27 sonic looking around in confusion as Josh notices his hat got stolen has me fucked up 😭😭💀
12:13 me personally i dont think thats true, I believe Josh understood the exploitative nature of these interactions, but he doesnt know how to deal with it.
Amazing video as usual tho my guy 🙏
Younger Josh looks like someone id have been friends with when I was 15 and id find out horrible stuff about years later
Do tell...
I listen to the covid lockdown song on the way to work to get myself pumped up!!! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
I love how his excuse for stomping tf out of a fish is that he wasn’t paid for the video so the video shouldn’t have existed anyways like that makes it better 😂
It’s hard calling him a lolcow, I genuinely feel bad for him
WTF is that thing in his closet that appears and disappears over his left shoulder (right side of screen)? It's creeping me out. 5:08-5:30
Wtf 😮😮😮
It seems to be shadows
Chasing him around new York? That is the Palazzo in Vegas bro
As someone who is going to study marine biology, I appreciate fish. That clip made me sick, even censored.
Blue knows what to do with a drunken sailor
Regardless, I genuinely think people like this guy, he seems interesting to watch and his voice is unique reminds me of a cartoon character.
Come on, we can be honest. We all know a Josh who’s at least kinda like this.
Facts
Just found your channel. Great work binge watching them all!!!
You’re not a nobody to us, Nick.
It’s sad I use to drink like this. I drank like this for 10 years. I’m 7 years sober now but I remember being where he is right now and I just feel sad. Also there is a huge link between mental illness or neurodivergent minds. I have bipolar 1. It used it to regulate
What are the odds Josh saw his quirks as a way to make money?
Touché.
He's spectrally Autostomal, but he's overpowered in abilities, which for example LarsoDaal, comes barely equipped with and only by default.
By which I mean: he's a sneaky little expl0itative [insert the © version of a word used for a cat, except not for a cat]
He is exaggerating for a purpose.
Those types are the... be careful around those. Trust me.
@@lennefujimuraWhat
@@Trahzy It's diagnosed by levels now apparently, so he's ATSIE LV2, probably. By which I mean, there's an imperative overriding anything else: a pure self-interest. They can be incredibly capable or even pr3datory to turn their disadvantages to various forms of profits:
IE: social interactions are supposed to be a big problem? Yeah, generally, but being a centre of attention feels good. Paradoxical, but not really (he's a male). He's extremely quick to point out who "good (gives me sympathy and clout)" and who "a bad/hater (gives negative feedback&criticism and no stuff gained)".
Don't be fooled, that's all.
