Q: I ask Dan if there are any specific examples of a clash/fight with that particular teacher - Truth be told, I dislike how I asked that question. Even in the few minutes following actually asking it, I disliked it. I think I was trying too hard to lead Dan into saying something that I wanted. I really wanted Dan to tell me a scary story where he got into an actual scuffle/fight with that teacher. | Q: I ask Dan if there are any specific examples of a clash/fight with that particular teacher - Truth be told, I dislike how I asked that question.

A: Yeah I mean the way he would teach the class was like as if it was like so our classes were like 45 minutes long, which is like the normal classes you would get at a normal school. So it was like a normal day where you would go to class A then move to class B things like that. So you wouldnt have the same teacher. the bad thing about i didnt like the way he was teaching it because i was going to his class, we would start maybe after 10 minutes right so we only had 30 minutes left of class and he would just be y'know, he acted like everything was not his job. he would give you your paperwork and expect you to teach yourself (inaudible). I don't think we really clashed or anything, I think it was just like, I would go to class with memories of like the day previously i would be in a bad mood, he would already be in a bad mood yknow what | A: Yeah I mean the way he would teach the class was like as if it was like so our classes were like 45 minutes long, which is like the normal classes you would get at a normal school.

Q: Do you have friends your own age at the Tennyson Center? - This clip contains an interesting parallel to Chris Chan. I recommend you watch it yourself first to see what it is he says. | Q: Do you have friends your own age at the Tennyson Center? - This clip contains an interesting parallel to Chris Chan.

Q: Was the Tennyson Center a violent place? | Q: Was the Tennyson Center a violent place? | ||
A: It was a very very violent place um and then I mean they had one room I guess to where its like um a brick room, they call it. Um and it had a window so i guess its um if somebody breaks a window they call the police I never did that i never broke a window, um i never brokw door or anything like that um but supposedly the school what they called time out rooms and I was like always i was always thrown in the time out rooms for like crying obsessive crying or u know not like stupid things not cooperating with the teacher i was put (inaudible) but like other clients, other students would actually like go into the room and the staff are afraid to use physical restraints to where they cross your arms, you probably seen people do this, seen it to where they have to like they have to get 4 staff that their jobs are to watch over those rooms and i seen it where they have to get 4 staff onto one person and their job is to because (inaudible) school their job is to try to stop the police from entering. So they tried their hardest not to call the police. So if it takes 5 staff to calm somebody down and a full 2-3 hours to do so they will try to do that... which is crazy and i seen it to where its that bad and they actually locked down the school so they like literally said okay we're not going out for recess right now because | A: It was a very very violent place um and then I mean they had one room I guess to where its like um a brick room, they call it.

Q: How exactly did you and Bob meet? - In my opinion, the most important contribution I have made to the DLR lore. I finally clarified Bob's origin story. Prior to this, it was widely believed that Bob and Dan's grandmother were long-term partners. I.E. they had a sexual relationship. This was said to explain Bob's dedication despite their lack of a blood relationship. I knew there was no real proof of this and decided to confirm the truth. Bob just saw Dan as a kid who needed help and has tried to help him ever since. People always say they don't understand why Bon just doesn't abandon Dan. Personally, I think Bob just sees Dan as a young kid who just needs help. A real tragedy if you just think about it. | Q: How exactly did you and Bob meet? - In my opinion, the most important contribution I have made to the DLR lore. I finally clarified Bob's origin story.

A: So at the time I wasn't with my grandma, right so I heard that things (inaudible) for custody at the Tennyson Center. Then my grandmother, my mother, my biological mother um and my dad all got came into a lawsuit, right. Um of who wants custody type of thing, right. My grandmother um Nancy, was her name um she decided to move to Colorado for the time being during the uh I guess you would call it the court case lawsuit custody battle hearing whatever. And my grandmother had two options, to go back to California or to stay here in Colorado. My grandmother made the decision, since I lived in Colorado at the time to stay here in Colorado, right. And so my grandmother won the custody case and um at that time I was still staying at the Tennyson center, in and out of foster care, during the custody stuff. And during that time I kind of did you know what I wasn't supposed to do, but I mean if you don't do something like that you don't always grow, right. Sometimes you do something across the line a little bit. So I told bob about my grandmother at the time. And I was like i know this is not ok, I don't remember what i said. But I literally said if there is a way we can stay in communication, that would be great. And it just so happened that it worked out. | A: So at the time I wasn't with my grandma, right so I heard that things (inaudible) for custody at the Tennyson Center.

Q: I refocus Dan on answering what kind of relationship Bob and his grandmother had. ( | Q: I refocus Dan on answering what kind of relationship Bob and his grandmother had. | ||
A: There was like a friendship a little bit, yeah the board games in my bedroom which I don't always play anymore because i don't have anyone to play with because bob is like, getting older. I mean we could probably play it but it wouldn't be the same anymore um because its not I mean here and there its ok you know what I mean but the same (Inaudible) closer to my age. Bob and I you know would play board games, so the three of us definitely had that type of friendship together. | |||
Q: Subject change time! I'd like to know more about your time between leaving your Grandmother's house, and downloading TikTok. What was life like in the group homes before your fame? The ending of this video provides context for, and leads directly in to the next one. | |||
A: Well I wanna say that it was very boring. It was a lot of the same stuff that Tennyson center kinda was. It was, I wake up in the morning right, and instead of gong to the Tennyson Center, I would go to a day program. And it would be five days a week. And like I said it would be things like going to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science or the Denver Zoo, or going to the park. Maybe go hiking in the mountains of Denver, Colorado, right. Pretty much just said all the options right there, right. So you know once doing that five days a week for a year, just over and over again gets super tiring. You end up not liking going to the Denver Zoo, even with your own family. You've seen it so many times your just like, ok what am I going to actually see here? Like if you don't have a purpose to go there its not the same. And so its probably one of the biggest things that I didn't like. As far as my life, the provider, or whoever I was staying with right, it was like I didn't fit in, it was like I.. I know this sounds crazy for me to say, but right now I'm speaking very fine, and I know what I'm talking like.. (Clip ends for some reason) | |||
Q: This was unprompted. Between the last clip and this one I did not ask any questions. Dan volunteered this theory and I think it's telling about some deep insecurities he has. On some level, I think Dan is aware that he's retarded. I jus think he can't personally accept that and instead is trying to silly his was out of being disabled. YOu can see more of this in his car videos with Bob: Bob will say pretty clearly that Dan is deficient and largely unable to do things on his own 0 That'll upset Dan and he's vehemently deny it. The sound going off halfway through is my timer that I had originally set up for this. | |||
A: I.. people try to say that I have autism. I don't always think that its autism, I think its PTSD or post traumatic abuse, neglect because of what I have been through, right, right. So sometimes I feel like I panic at times that I shouldn't, and if no one arounds me know like what I need or communicates well with me, then it doesn't help at all, it turns into arguments. | |||
Q: I ask Dan here to speak more on the custody battle. It wasn't known that his parents made any effort to gain custody so I was deeply curious to find out more. No clue if he's telling the truth here as he prefaces it all with he has no clue. You can be the judge. This was the longest clip out of all of them and even at 720p needed to be slip up into two parts due to file size (It's four minutes and four seconds long) | |||
