Q: Did you have a teacher that you didn't like/didn't like you? Any stories? - Dan also acknowledges that the Tennyson Center has since closed here (It is now closed and is in fact still open). | Q: Did you have a teacher that you didn't like/didn't like you?

A: Yes um..there was one teacher that I literally couldn't even stand in class. It was like...like he was a history teacher and um I just didn't like him at all because it would be like i would walk into the class and I'm a happy guy I'm very talkative and his attitude would be like ok class sit down. It would seem like he has his own mental health issues and he shouldn't be working at a mental health place, right. He definitely had a short temper and he was there the entire time I was there which is surprising enough because he is from what the entire school was a hated teacher in the school and I mean he did kick out half the student by the time the class ended so it's (inaudible) yeah, I was like one of them that he actually told me to leave his class and I like literally and its like why would he eve do that, when i tried to speak up about it because I go to school there as a y'know my own mentally health right my mental health issues of course they (inaudible) student, so it was like his real concerns weren't actually being heard and i actually found out that the | A: Yes um..there was one teacher that I literally couldn't even stand in class.

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 | 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 wouldn't have the same teacher. the bad thing about i didn't 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 I'm saying and those 2 bad moods did not really work so what would happen was i would do anything and anything i could just to get out of the class and his response was don't even come to my class which...what am i supposed to do. | ||
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.

A; Yeah I had um kind of crazy to say this but i literally had 2 i had about 3 friend, really close friends um and what i remember is like um i remember just like them being a lot smarter than me at the time so they were probably 3 of the smartest kids in the entire school so | A; Yeah I had um kind of crazy to say this but i literally had 2 i had about 3 friend, really close friends um and what i remember is like um i remember just like them being a lot smarter than me at the time so they were probably 3 of the smartest kids in the entire school so for me to be hanging out with them and getting along great made me feel like i was it made me feel like i was higher rank than the rest of the school (inaudible) the good sides and bad side sometimes because i felt like by doing that i literally had power over the school hanging out with the 3 best kids of yknow the school including me (inaudible) just gained yknow like everyone else really kind of hated me at that point um | ||
Q. Were you bullied at the school | Q. Were you bullied at the school | ||
A: I was probably one of the most bullied in the school, yeah so on the Disney channel i think it was there as a tv show called Danny phantom so one of the things everyone would do is mimic you know as a way of hating on me calling me Danny Phantom like hey | A: I was probably one of the most bullied in the school, yeah so on the Disney channel i think it was there as a tv show called Danny phantom so one of the things everyone would do is mimic you know as a way of hating on me calling me Danny Phantom like hey Danny phantom you know and actually say it like that to on purpose to piss me off (inaudible) say that, call me by my regular name and I mean like it was going viral in the school um so it was I was screwed basically that became one of the biggest things in the school, you call me Danny phantom you were basically a bully um kind of like Quacko yknow if you say the word Quacko in the Daniel Larson fanbase, you were a troll its kind of like that. um but yeah um that was one of the big things that happened with that i was on the school bus getting bullied to the point where i would sit all the way in the back of the bus and anyone that sat back there with me would literally try to kick me because i mean i guess there's nothing you can do on a school bus, the driver was driving, if there was a fight the fight would happen every single day after a mile after we leave the school the school bus would pull over along the side of the road and um call the police every single day so there were days where I was 5 hours delayed and didn't get home until 8 or 9 o'clock and the school gets out at like 2:30 so for me to get home after dinner and then its like, what are we doing for dinner or kind of jacked up. | ||
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 | 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 broke 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 there's an incident outside so they do recess for the entire school in the gym. i mean it was that type of environment and i mean i didn't like it because i felt like i didn't even fit in because i was hanging out with i mean in a school like that 2 of the...probably of the most well behaved people in the school just doesn't feel right. | ||
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: Well I wanna say that it was very boring. It was a lot of the same stuff that Tennyson center | A: Well I wanna say that it was very boring. It was a lot of the same stuff that Tennyson center kind of 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. | Q: This was unprompted.

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. | A: I.. people try to say that I have autism.

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) | Q: I ask Dan here to speak more on the custody battle.

A: ( | A: Yes, because my mother and my dad, I guess I'm not fully sure of their story because I was never really told anything and it was kind of a family secret. So its something that I don't even know to this day. Um its like a big mystery to me. But I guess my mother and my father were in a divorce or something like that. Ok, or they were never even married to begin with, I don't know. But, my dad still lived in California while I was living with my mother in Colorado, right. And social services I guess is what put me into the Tennyson Center when they found out about the abuse. So it was really in the end it was a legal battle between am i safe enough to go back to my mother or should I be put up for custody which I think my dad tried or my grandmother. One of the two wanted me up for custody. And they were speaking up about it at the time, right, abut my mother. And so what that ended up happening was my dad got involved and was like, "Come live with me in California." And then my grandmother was like, Daniel doesn't even know his dad, I know Daniel lot more because I'm was one of the closest people to him when he lived in California, my grandmother got involved, right. As far as the court, they were trying to figure out who would be the best fit for me: my dad or my grandmother. So my grandmother moved to Colorado and said that my grandmother would stay in Colorado because I'm used to Colorado after a year and a half, right. Then my grandmother, the court basically said easy win. And (Inaudible) to this day your grandmother's a bitch because she won you over just the fact she had money. She didn't actually raise you well, because if she would've raised you well, she would've taught you right from wrong, she would've taught you skills. And it was like, I mean my dad is right, but I mean I can't blame my grandmother for that because I didn't know my dad that much, right. So, I feel like every one has their own feelings, um and it is what it is. (Inaudible) couldn't get to my father, just like I want to get closer to my mother, because the entire situation was just screwed. It's you know a situation. I really want to get closer to them but now that I am, I mean, its easy enough to say now, 1 billion views, and I am only growing more and more and more. I get spotted in public on a daily basis, not every wants be affiliated in that. And that's a new struggle I have to get over. And I'm slowly losing Bob because of my popularity like Bob is paranoid sometimes of being in public. So, It's run while you can. But yeah, that's what's going on in my life. | ||
Q: Just curious, was your grandmother on your dad's side, or your mom's side? He actually gives some really interesting info here, turns out his mom is adopted and she never knew her biological parents. There's a large lag spike here and unfortunately, we miss what I think might've been something interesting. Such as life. | |||
