Travel Arc: Difference between revisions

Daniel's first stop was Phoenix, Arizona, before going to Tucson and Benson. Daniel then traveled to his Texas, where he then went to El Paso, Big Spring, Sweetwater, San Antonio, and Houston. His third stop was New York City, where he'd get into an altercation with a store owner, causing the [[Bodega Incident]], which caused him to gain a scab on his nose that was dubbed "scabfrica" due to it vaguely resembling the continent of Africa.  

Daniel arrived in Phoenix, Arizona on March 18th, 2023 during an unspecified timeframe after taking a bus from Las Vegas, Nevada. The first video that he uploaded after his arrival was a Cashapp shoutout after receiving donations from some of his viewers. Throughout the day, Daniel would upload more shoutouts regarding donations, including one thanking "Ariana Grande" for a $70 donation. Daniel also uploaded multiple videos of him rapping about his travels and his new location. In these videos, his rapping included random statements such as, "I stand up here next to the sphinx" and, "I can't wait to taste the cat in the witch's brew". Daniel would then proceed to make a video stating he is no longer taking [https://www.latuda.com/ Latuda], a medication that is commonly used to treat schizophrenia. Daniel addressed this by stating, "I had to take myself off of the Latuda again because it was making my speech blurred and it was making me more confused to where I couldn't think".

In another video, Daniel says that he needed, "20 more dollars" before he could, "be headed to Tucson (Arizona)." He would post again later that day, showing himself in what appears to be a train, monorail, or subway (though it is not clear what mode of transportation he took). In the video, it appears to be nighttime and Daniel does not specify where the train is headed. It is assumed he was still in Phoenix, Arizona during these posts. Around the same time, Daniel would post on his YouTube community tab (Daniel Larson NYC) that he had, "... just booked my bus ticket to Tuscan for tomorrow morning", ‘Tuscan’ referring to Tucson, Arizona. One account by the name of Noah S. commented, "What are you gonna do in Tucson?". Daniel simply replied, "Transfer". Another comment read, "I thought you were going to New York", to which Daniel replied, "I am". In another community post that night, Daniel claimed that after going to Tucson, his next destination would be Houston, Texas.

}}{{Quote|I'm currently in Arizona, in a small town. Can't say the name of the town, mainly for safety. I was going to go to El Paso, but I'm going to have to cancel that. Yesterday, I was receiving death threats over going to El Paso, so I'm not going to El Paso until I can get security.}}[[File:Daniel Veterans Memorial.png|thumb|314x314px|The subreddit found Daniel based off this video]]Although Daniel never stated the town he was in, users on the subreddit were able to find where he was based off of a video he had recorded prior to the one mentioned above. In the this prior video, Daniel is at a veteran's memorial, which members of the subreddit found on google maps. The memorial was in Benson, Arizona, approximately 50 miles southeast of Tucson. Daniel uploaded more videos in Benson as he was walking through it. In a lot of these videos however it is difficult to hear Daniel due to the wind, meaning that some of what he was trying to tell his viewers was lost. Below is a quote from one of these videos. Please note that the video ends abruptly, so the last sentence is incomplete.

Another situation that happened in El Paso occurred when Daniel was inside of a restaurant. Daniel was doing fine, thanking donors and announcing his "20 song music album that will release in 2025", as well as announcing that the following morning he would be going to Houston, Texas. But then, out of nowhere, he posted a video saying he was, "dealing with the police". Daniel stated that someone called the police to the restaurant he was in. He attributed the call to a troll. Well aware of his notoriety for dining and dashing, Daniel clarified that his tab was, "fully paid". In a follow up video, Daniel claimed that the police let him go without incident. He could be seen walking down the street in this video. He even stated that he, "did a $50 tip because of what happened." The next morning, Daniel uploaded a video from inside a tent, presumably the same tent he was given in Tucson, which he had slept in that night. In the video he stated that he needed new shoes, to which he then turns the camera to reveal his well worn pair. A little later, he uploaded another video in which he is boarding a bus.
