Daniel continued his travel saga upon his arrival from Las Vegas to the state of Arizona, visiting various cities.
Phoenix
Daniel arrived in Phoenix, Arizona on March 18, 2023 during an unspecified time frame after taking a bus from Las Vegas, Nevada. The first video that he uploaded after his arrival was a Cash App 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 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.
Tucson
Daniel arrived in Tucson, Arizona on March 19th, after taking a bus from Phoenix that morning. Similar to his trip to Phoenix, Daniel did not plan on staying there long, indicating that he would be traveling to El Paso, Texas. After arriving in Tucson, Daniel gave an update to fans regarding his finances. According to Daniel, he had $50 in his savings account and -$40 in his checking account. The -$40 in his checking account is likely due to an overdraft fee. Daniel further requested $150 from his viewers to travel to El Paso, Texas. Daniel would later upload a series of videos of himself eating cookies and cream ice cream while displaying the box it came in. In one of these videos, Daniel says, "These are amazing, if you haven't tried them you should try them". In another one of these videos, Daniel would say, "Oh my god, with all this cookie dough it's so messy, I literally look like I did something naughty", due to the white ice cream being smeared across his lips and face. While in Tucson, Daniel interacted with many strangers, some of whom one can assume are viewers of Daniel. Daniel would post various selfies throughout his time in Tucson with these strangers. A few hours after his first post with these strangers, Daniel posted a video in which he is dancing with five younger men, who also appear to be fans of Daniel. On his YouTube community page (Daniel Larson NYC), Daniel claimed, "My dinner tonight [is] fully free and on a fan". On a few occasions, some strangers would purchase or give items to Daniel, supposedly out of kindness alone. In the videos that accompanied their acts of kindness (which were recorded by Daniel), these strangers could be heard talking to him, asking him things such as what he needed in terms of food, toiletries, etc. Although these strangers do not purchase any of the items on camera, it can be assumed they did after the recording stopped. Later, an unknown fan bought Daniel a tent, which he would then carry around.
Benson
On March 21st, Daniel uploaded a video in which he is walking down the side of a road. In this video, Daniel explains some things that happened to him recently. Below is that video and a quote from it is below the video.
| “ | 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. | ” |
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.
"So, I'm currently on the layover from one bus to another. Apparently the bus got in at 10:00 last night so I didn't get a-"
