It isnt just that. The one dude is scamming him and basically making him drink. His mind has to be so shaped into "everyone is trying to take my money" that it will take a long time to get over it.
@@WyattMcFeelzbecause he’s in too deep. an autistic individual coming out of an addiction is harder than coming out of an addiction as a allistic individual. he doesn’t know any better, and he does it because he feels love.

In recent years the exploitation of the mentally vulnerable has only upticked. Especially these exploitative "handlers" who's best interest is to continue their subject's descent for content reasons. It's like the internet forgets these are real, vulnerable people, and not some metaphorical macabre train crash to tune into.
Ya and the pattern seems to be for the public to find some recent or past mistakes of the person to justify trolling a mentally handicapped person essentially indefinitely
yeah...I've just watched a Mutahar video where he talked about a Kick Streamer(because ofc this platform would be the one) who took a homeless woman to a restaurant and then ditched her when the bill showed up. Leaving her, someone who doesn't really have any money with said bill. and the chat was loling and whooping and spamming with the "Laughing Spanish Guy".
It’s despicable. I’ve been following the saga through sources like oompa but I refuse to engage with any of it. Really the saddest display of humanity on the internet I’ve personally been able to witness myself.
@@rachaellj5781this is just a less bad Chris Chan situation. Not trying to downplay the Josh Block stuff, it’s disgusting, but it’s funny how history rhymes.
What you're watching is literally the abuse of a person with a mental disability. Ive worked with, and have taken care of, ppl exactly like Josh for about 6 yrs now (and others that are also physically disabled, and have mental illnesses). What ppl are doing to Josh is The textbook definition of "Abuse" of the mentally disabled. If ANY one who worked in the field I work in was doing this with Josh they'd be immediately fired, arrested, and charged with abusing a person with mental disabilities, and never be able to work in that field ever again.
51:13 I’m a recovering alcoholic and I’ve tried stopping cold turkey twice, it never worked I always ended up in the ER. You gotta take the chance you’re given to get out of that mess, it’s so worth it.
Cold turkey from alcohol when you are a heavy drinker can be deadly! Do NOT try to go cold turkey unless you plan on going to the ER and being admitted for a few days. They will detox you safely and monitor you. Never ever try cold turkey when you're a heavy alcoholic! My word of advice for anyone that sees these comments. But kudos to you OP. Glad you got better. 🙂
Thats rough, I've done it a few times before the last one stuck 4 years ago. First time full cold turkey was the scariest time of my life! then I had to taper myself down to never do that again! Never hallucinated before before that point.
Hey, I’m also an addict and I really messed my life up before I saw the light and turned it around with more than a decade clean and a successful military career to now being a business owner. I say this not to brag but because I agree with you. I feel this is a special case cause nobody can get clean/sober unless they themselves want to but what happens when the addict has a mental handicap? Like can he realize he has an issue and if so can he do the hard work needed to get sober? I know people with a handicap are just as capable as anyone but I do think it may add some level of challenge or difficulty. What are your thoughts? Also congratulations on stopping the drink mate!
People like this refuse to stay offline unless someone takes everything away from them and keep constant supervision on them. Daniel Larson was homeless for 2 years and still figured out how to be in constant communication with people, found food and shelter, once they get obsessed with “being famous” all that matters to them is being online as much as possible.
@@Cloudy_Jones yeah but Josh can actually support himself financially AND his own tik tok doesn't post anything much worse than him just posting what's he's drinking.
okay granted I'm only a little iver halfway through the video but I can't help but think of Josh's Grandfather. Like just imagine watching your boy, someone you love so much and clearly went to bat for many times, only for him to be led down a bad path from others. I don't know how he's doing, but I really hope he's okay too. I can't imagine how worried he is if he's seeing this.
@@HewhofightsWmonstersa grown *autistic* man. Someone without the same decision making capabilities as someone who is not on the spectrum. Genuinely the dumbest thing you could’ve said. Go work at a foundation for the mentally disabled and treat them like that, you’ll be terminated in under a week.
Exactly. I have entertained the thought of starting a channel myself but I know 10000% people like this would comment all over my stuff and I'm just like, nevermind lol. I really wish I could too. I've got some great ideas.
It's awesome to upload vids. It's just fun to make them and be able to see them easily. Ya can lurk but don't hide yourself behind a wall. Unless you're a child, then ya be very careful. Adults be careful too :)
I mean oompa is autistic too, it depends on the person and the right accommodations in place. I don’t think I would ever be able to do something like that myself but some people are more fit for things than others
Alcoholism is a serious issue I dealt with from the ages of 15-17. Seeing this happen to Josh and how it’s basically encouraged by some viewers and peers of his is so horrific.
Sorry but 2 years is not alcoholism, that's just a sip lol. By that logic 90% of the people on the planet were alcoholics. But yes alcoholism is a serious issue, and I'm glad you stopped before it became a problem.
@@scottm3988 I had a few mental health professionals say it was alcoholism or the very beginning of it but I see what you mean. My personal experience was drinking daily to get through the day and I didn’t seem to have the ability to stop. I see that with Josh in a way. He is just constantly chugging alcohol, if he’s offered a drink he can’t say no, he has withdrawal symptoms etc.
It makes me kinda sad seeing Josh the way he is now especially with how much potential he had when he was younger. He reminds me of a guy I knew in middle and high school that was very similar to josh. The only difference was that he didn't use any social media. The last I heard of him, he got a job,I really hope he's doing better than Josh is.
This is what Josh needs and what he’s not getting. He needs a 4 day stay at a hospital for alcohol detox. They’ll provide him with the proper medicine and nutrients to make the withdrawal comfortable, safe, and nonlethal. After that this dude needs at least 2-3 weeks under surveillance in a mental health facility. During the stay at a mental health ward or a “psych ward” professionals will be able to test out meds and fully evaluate him to get him back to his old self. I really hope this dude can get help, he’s young, there’s still a life ahead of him if he makes a change. I’ve done a detox at a hospital followed by a short stay at a mental health ward before and it really reset my life for the positive. Just hope he can get the game help.
I feel like Adult Protective Services (APS) would likely be able to intervene and help? Since it is all recorded and is capable of being reviewed, it could classify as abuse against an adult with a disability? Especially if he is not capable of independent living...
they may not consider it as such if he doesn’t have a co-occurring intellectual disability. i’m autistic myself, moderate support needs, and i wouldn’t be protected from harm unless i had a co-occurring intellectual disability.
@@Scrimblescromble There is no evidence he has an intellectual disability. Autism itself can be very debilitating without a comorbid ID. Keep in mind, ID means an IQ
It’s much more difficult and nuanced than that. If Josh is able to make money, feed himself and manage personal hygiene, APS won’t get involved for poor life choices. The stipulations for APS are in place so that individuals with disabilities who are just making independent choices others may not agree to aren’t subject to undue revocation of their autonomy. Josh seems to fall in the “support gap”, support needs significant enough to clearly need guidance, but low enough that he cannot be forced to into a residential or independent living facility.
As someone with a nicotine habit, Zyn and other nicotine pouches have been great. Went from smoking, to vaping to this, and nicotine pouches are by far the easiest to control, at least for me. Withdrawals still happen, but nowhere near the level of cigs or vapes. I obviously wouldn't recommend it to anyone without nicotine dependence, but as a harm reduction replacement it's very effective.
@@jasonbrooks217The police are an awful idea. They're terrible at dealing with any neurodivergent people this has been shown in the past. There are specific services you can call where people who are specially trained in defusing situations and talking to specifically neurodivergent people can help instead. A cop is more likely to shoot
@jasonbrooks217 no. Not the police. The people that deal with adults with mental disorders or learning disabilities. Police are often the WORST to call for people like this as they have no training on hiw to handle people with things like autism, ocd etc
There are state and federal laws against exploiting vulnerable adults, and that umbrella includes adults with developmental disabilities like Josh has. This abuse and exploitation can be reported to the local Department of Health and Human Services or the Department of Social Security for whatever County Josh resides in. If anybody has this information, please call and have somebody go check on him/open an investigation.
52:34 this is publicized abuse, exploitation, and torture…. I’m so heartbroken that he’s been brainwashed into believing he is how they treat him… most especially what they tell him he is or isn’t. He has NO ONE to remind him who he is and they’ve destroyed his identity… I hope he sees his art and maybe a teacher. Maybe he needs to watch the documentary…
This is so sad. Some autistic people are more vulnerable to addiction, so it’s not surprising he got addicted when he became old enough. Hope someone helps him.
Josh Block is to be protected at all costs and we all must join the coalition to get him sober 🥺 His mom would want us all to give her boy a hug. He probably misses her so much 😢
19:22 I never once thought I’d ever actually feel inspired by something related to Josh Block… this is legitimately heartbreaking. He had overcome so much and was loved by the right people… The internet truly is a blessing and a terrible curse on humanity.
as someone who is autistic myself but more high functioning, this almost genuinely made me cry. esp. after seeing how happy his teachers and grandfather was.
Speaking of Candy, my SourBoys Lil' Guys arrived this morning! So tempted to open them and get stuck in - but I also got an email to inform me that my other order is on its way, so I'll have to hold off until then so I can do a proper 'unboxing' ... Gah!! The temptation!!
Just got my SourBoys order in the mail and im so stoked on it! Got some wicked bonus flavors with the early access:)) They will make amazing side gifts this christmas, if I dont eat it all first. Cheers Caleb and the lovely "L" who packaged my goodies
You did very well to cover this very complex human and situation. I on behalf of RUclips would like to thankyou bro ❤ this kept me viewing till the last second 💯
You know what got me to almost NEVER touch alcohol in my adult life? I grew up around alcoholics, and I didn't realize it until highschool. I think drinking is a dishusting trait, however having drinks with friends ON OCCASION is different. Last drink i had was a year ago on my son's birth
To the editor: thank you sooo much for playing every clip ever made of josh singing "In new yoooorrkkk! Concrete jungle where dreams are made of! Theres nothing you cant do!!!" So wonderful hearing that screamed at every mention. You rock! Lol jk love ya!
Caleb, I appreciate what you do and the content you cover in cases like this. I see and hear what you do, and it's very kind. I will continue to support you and your great sour candy company 🎉
Scary how people can just get into his life like that. As a small creator on Tiktok I'm so careful about letting people into my personal life. I get so many scammers and trolls trying to sign up with their companies etc. I'm blind and people see it as a targetable weakness but my lack of trust in randos serves as a strong filter. Josh and Daniel's experiences should be used as training info for social media mods and protective services. This new style of abuse slips under the radar which is scary.
Dude you’re a legend. You are wise beyond your years and your attitude towards every topic explored, is spot on. Keep it up brotha, you seem to be the only role-model material on this platform that I like watching, ima show your channel to my nephew.
I haven't heard of this young man before this video, but this is truly one of the saddest things I've seen on RUclips. My heart just breaks for him. If he were surrounded by better people, his life would probably be completely different.

OG Naruto, nice 🙂
as someone who is autistic myself but more high functioning, this almost genuinely made me cry. esp. after seeing how happy his teachers and grandfather was.
remember him coming to iceland bunch of kids (and some "grown men") messing with him constantly and stole his hat sad to see. dude needs help
42:43 he exploits people too
He would honestly
Freudian slip
When oompa sang ny, reminded me of that dude in the fisher king who sang "LYYYYYDIIAAAA YOU'VE WON A FREE VIDEOSTORE MEMBERSHIP LYYYYDIA" lol
Mr Based is an actual demon. His rabbit hole is actually insane like he got a girl killed.
Thankyou caleb for bringing awareness to these people
Daddy Oompa is backkkk 🔥 🔥 🗣 💯
He never left
I hate Alcohol. I think it brings out the worst in people!
Lost my gf because of this fcking poison. It doesn't worth it
Hey oompy you should make a video on a halo iceberg because I think that would be cool and I know you like halo and stuff
Also I love your candy
Speaking of Candy, my SourBoys Lil' Guys arrived this morning! So tempted to open them and get stuck in - but I also got an email to inform me that my other order is on its way, so I'll have to hold off until then so I can do a proper 'unboxing' ... Gah!! The temptation!!
Just got my SourBoys order in the mail and im so stoked on it! Got some wicked bonus flavors with the early access:)) They will make amazing side gifts this christmas, if I dont eat it all first. Cheers Caleb and the lovely "L" who packaged my goodies
Your SourBoys candy is amazing Oompa! Keep up the great work with all the awesome flavors. Pretty cool how far it's come
Under 1 minute I own this channel now
nah.
congrats oomp
Nice to see the new oomp
All hail king retro oomp
You did very well to cover this very complex human and situation. I on behalf of RUclips would like to thankyou bro ❤ this kept me viewing till the last second 💯
Oompaville Josh block video. Legendary mash up
iv only been to 9 countries
Yeah. Even manged to point t a finger at Asmongold in there too. Tho he is taking a break to better himself recently after some personal realization.
Seeing you wear those Leupold hats always blows my mind. They were founded and do their manufacturing in my area, I deliver to them almost daily
I swear his doppelganger is an Australian streamer TuranSpidey..crazy likeness in both appearance and content 😮😮
Alcoholic here. Trying to recover but i still have the shakes and other things. But it's a fight every day. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.
Oompaville the detective
don’t read my name.
Thanks..I loved listening to that verse sung so brilliantly and so many times
I thought my brain was gonna melt on the last New York. Thank you for stopping it Oompa. We are eternally greatfull😮💨
You know what got me to almost NEVER touch alcohol in my adult life?
I grew up around alcoholics, and I didn't realize it until highschool.
I think drinking is a dishusting trait, however having drinks with friends ON OCCASION is different.
Last drink i had was a year ago on my son's birth
This vidoe is poorly edited, its too repetative and stretched out.
That is so heartbreaking. Hopefully he gets the help he needs.
There’s nothing you can’t DO
To the editor: thank you sooo much for playing every clip ever made of josh singing "In new yoooorrkkk! Concrete jungle where dreams are made of! Theres nothing you cant do!!!" So wonderful hearing that screamed at every mention. You rock! Lol jk love ya!
At some point some authority should step in, I mean all the evidence that someone needs to do something is filmed for the public
Caleb, I appreciate what you do and the content you cover in cases like this. I see and hear what you do, and it's very kind. I will continue to support you and your great sour candy company 🎉
I don’t normally get invested in people on the internet but this case actually disturbs me. The people taking advantage of him really upsets me.
Oompa the coverer of the inflooencers
Inflooensters
I love the jump Cuts in your videos props to the editor
I met that guy walking the streets of Houston lol.
This is sad. People exploiting mentally unwell people for giggles, is disgusting and sad. This shows how far society has fallen.
Bro made a movie
I didn’t realize how badly it had gotten for him .. this kid needs real help !!
Imagine if World of Tshirts, Daniel Larson, King Cobra JFS and Chris Chan started a podcast lol
Would watch 😂
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS
Government really should step in.
Thx for covering this oompa. Iys sad to see . Hope people learn
Sorry I’m late to the vid, had lecrose practice, it was my first practice! Wish me luck 🥲
Lacrosse? lol
I read yours like I was French 🤣
@@OdysseyCS8 sorry😭😭 I spell stuff with a “British accent” my friends say 💀
90% of what the internet offers is bad for you.
I am papa oompsie, I am Proffesor DingleRoot
Scary how people can just get into his life like that. As a small creator on Tiktok I'm so careful about letting people into my personal life. I get so many scammers and trolls trying to sign up with their companies etc. I'm blind and people see it as a targetable weakness but my lack of trust in randos serves as a strong filter. Josh and Daniel's experiences should be used as training info for social media mods and protective services. This new style of abuse slips under the radar which is scary.
I’m always ready.
I know you talked about not posting about him but I’m glad u did. This is really sad and I hope he gets the help he needs.
60 views in 14 seconds the fall off is crazy😭
Dude you’re a legend. You are wise beyond your years and your attitude towards every topic explored, is spot on. Keep it up brotha, you seem to be the only role-model material on this platform that I like watching, ima show your channel to my nephew.
I just fell down the stairs please like so I can afford crutches
You ain't gonna make money off comments bro.
@@simiancarroll5167 Hmmm
I can't even finish this video, and I have been a super avid watcher of your videos.
0:42 video starts here
Pretty sure it starts at 0:00 buddy

@@sharkdrug okay
I haven't heard of this young man before this video, but this is truly one of the saddest things I've seen on RUclips. My heart just breaks for him. If he were surrounded by better people, his life would probably be completely different.
