On August 2nd, 2022 [[Ox]] hosted a [[Twitch]] stream with Daniel while he was staying in a hotel. He intended to prank Daniel once meeting a $100 donation goal. The goal promise was to "Swap the video with a fake nuke warning." [[Ox]] would replace the CNN coverage he was showing Daniel over Discord with a fake EAS alert<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aIcUSd3nkJE&pp=ygUbcmVhbCB0aW1lIHVzIG51Y2xlYXIgYXR0YWNr</ref>. The alert portrayed a nuclear attack against highly populated American locations, including Los Angeles, which Daniel was "within 300 miles of". The donation goal was reached, and [[Ox]] initiated the prank against Daniel. | |||

Upon seeing the EAS alert, he appeared confused, and he became visibly distressed. In a panic, he began frantically writing down notes on a piece of paper and pacing around his room, before leaving from his room to warn others at the lobby of the hotel. | |||
Daniel had already been worried about US and China relations. This likely made him more susceptible to the prank. After learning about the prank, he broke a TV in his hotel room, and has been fearful of China since.<ref>https://v.redd.it/8cq0ywaxkif91</ref>, During the [[UCLA Arc]] this fear was used to manipulate him again. | |||

After returning to his room, he was informed by Ox that it was prank. This would cause a falling out between Daniel and Ox. Ox wasn't officially fired until the following day, August 3rd. Daniel alleged the real reason for firing Ox was because he had received a "restraining order from the "[[Grace VanderWaal|VanderWaal family]]" | |||
