Upon hearing news of Daniel’s plans to travel to [[Travel Arc|New York City]], fans and Michael Quinn wanted to see a meet-up between the two figures. On Reddit and TikTok, many people attempted to convince Daniel to find Joshua and fight him. While it seemed neither were interested, [[Michael Quinn]] and both of their fan groups certainly were. The consensus was that even if this did happen it is likely that Daniel would back out, to the disappointment of many. | Upon hearing news of Daniel’s plans to travel to [[Travel Arc|New York City]], fans and Michael Quinn wanted to see a meet-up between the two figures.

On May 10, after Michael Quinn and Daniel had met two days prior, Quinn got Daniel and Josh to finally meet. Caught on film, as Daniel walked through the doors of the Starbucks at the World Financial Center in downtown New York. Daniel is visibly smiling in the video. The tension of the moment quickly faded as the two shook hands despite all the online arguments, Joshua then recorded his well known rendition of "Empire State of Mind" with Daniel in the background gleefully waving to the camera. The two broke bread together and discussed Josh's drinking problems, and Daniel's experiences along the west coast on a livestream. | On May 10, after Michael Quinn and Daniel had met two days prior, Quinn got Daniel and Josh to finally meet.

Since then, Daniel has been long since "''B-A-N-N-E-D''" from Cameo while Josh continues to make money, yet still scamming customers by mostly making videos under 5 seconds. This is a clear example of how if Daniel gave the bare minimum effort into doing Cameos he would still be on the platform. | ||
