This section documents the events that have occurred thus far during Daniel Larson's travels following his departure from Las Vegas. This arc is ongoing, so edits/additions can and should be made as the arc progresses. Daniel's first stop: Phoenix, Arizona
Arizona
Phoenix
Daniel arrived in Phoenix, Arizona on March 18th during an unspecified timeframe after taking a bus from Las Vegas, Nevada. The first video that was uploaded after his arrival was a Cashapp shoutout after receiving donations from his viewers. Throughout the day, Daniel would upload more shoutouts following 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, he can be heard rapping random statements such as "I stand up here next to the sphinx" and "I can't wait to taste the cat in the witches brew". Daniel would then proceed to make a video stating he is no longer taking Latuda, a medication that is 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".
Daniel would go on to make a video stating 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 heading. 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". Daniel replied, "I am". In another community post that night, Daniel would comment that after going to Tucson, his next destination would be Houston.
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 to Tucson, Daniel updated his views on his current financial situation. According to him, he had $50 in his savings account and -$40 in his checking account. Daniel requested $150 in order to travel to El Paso, Texas. Daniel would later upload a series of videos where he can be seen eating cookies and cream ice cream while displaying the box it came in. In this video Daniel says, "These are amazing, if you haven't tried them you should try them". Daniel would then make a video saying, "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 lip and face.
While in Tucson, Daniel interacted with many strangers, who we 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 5 men, who also appear to be fans of Daniel. Daniel would then post photos of his food at a restaurant onto his Youtube community page (Daniel Larson NYC), stating, "My dinner tonight fully free and on a fan". More photos and videos streamed in from Daniel of 3 different strangers he had connected with. These strangers could be heard talking to Daniel, asking him what he needs like snacks, lotion and shampoo. They do not purchase any of the items on camera, but it can be assumed they did after the recording stopped. Also, an unknown fan bought Daniel a tent, which he would carry around with him.
Benson
On March 21st, Daniel uploads a video where he is walking down the side of a road, and he explains some things that happened recently. Below is the video and a quote from 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, the subreddit was able to find where he was based off of a video he recording just before the one mentioned above, where Daniel is at a veteran's memorial. Members of the reddit found the memorial on google maps, and it was in Benson, Arizona, only about 50 miles away from Tucson. Daniel uploaded more videos in this town as he was walking through it, and in a lot of the videos it was hard to hear Daniel due to the wind, so some of the information he was trying to give to his viewers was lost. Below is another quote from one of the videos. Please note that the video ended abruptly, so the last sentence is not a full sentence.
"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-"
Texas
El Paso
Early in the morning, on March 22nd, Daniel posted a video in which he is in a parking garage. He explains that he got on the wrong bus, and instead of going to Roswell, New Mexico like he intended, he ended up in El Paso, Texas. He reveals more information, which is shown below.
Another thing that happened was someone called "Si". Daniel posted on his YouTube community page about a person named "Si" threating him while in El Paso, Daniel followed by making claims such as:
"Si stop texting me"
"Si stop messaging me or I will fix you and your family on TikTok to the FBI and tell the fans to press charges"
"Okay I need police my location just got breached I'm getting death threats and kid nap threat's from Si"
As of March 22nd we know nothing about who "Si" is or what he is saying to Daniel other than Daniel replying to a comment saying "He's a troll".
Another situation that happened in El Paso was 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 saying 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, saying that it was one of his fans. He also clarified that his tab was "fully paid". Daniel made another video a bit after that though, stating that the police let him go. 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 uploads 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, and he showed the shoes he currently had on camera. A little later, he uploaded where he is boarding a bus, the one he would use to get to his next location

The next day, on March 23rd, Daniel Larson was spotted in the downtown San Jacinto plaza park in El Paso, Texas near a JPMorgan Chase bank walking to the nearest bus station circa 12:30PM MST. When he got to the bus station, he was speaking to an old lady, probably asking for directions. That night, Daniel takes a bus to Big Spring, Texas.
Big Spring
On March 24th, Daniel arrives in Big Spring, Texas. Early in the day, Daniel claims that he has lost his debit card, and spends the rest of the day searching for it.
On March 25th, Daniel uploads a video with his debit card, claiming it has been returned. He claims that it is no longer working. Daniel then posts multiple videos of his lunch that he purchased, including mozzarella sticks and a cheeseburger. Daniel uploads a picture of a man sleeping with the caption "Tell this guy to stop stalking me" on his Youtube community page.
Around 11 pm, Daniel uploads many videos talking about an emergency occurring on his Youtube community page; the emergency was that he was receiving dozens of comments from trolls. In the videos, Daniel claims that he is currently communicating on the phone with Ivan, who told Daniel that he is delusional and is not in contact with Tina Vanderwaal. Daniel claims that the conversation escalated to a fight because Ivan would not let Daniel speak, which led to Daniel telling "Ivan" to never contact him again. Daniel posts a video claiming he is calling the police. Daniel immediately uploads a video claiming that he received word from Ivan's wife, Paula, that Ivan holding Grace Vanderwaal at gunpoint and trying to make Grace date Ivan. In another video, Daniel claims that he is being told the same thing by someone claiming to be Grace. Daniel posts two videos claiming he was sent cease and desist letters by both LBI Records and Columbia Records, and also states these letters confirm his prior employment with these companies. Daniel proceeded to post 47 videos over an hour, talking about all of the information above. Throughout these videos, he switches back and forth about his association with Grace and Tina Vanderwaal multiple times, along with also switching back and forth on the legitimacy and current statutes of the restraining order they have put in place on him. He also claims he was fired by his manager. In two videos, he mentions Michael Quinn and Worldoftshirts.
On March 26th, Daniel posts multiple videos of his breakfast, nacho cheese chips, and an energy drink. He then uploads a video claiming "Gus Fring's" donations did not go through. Daniel updates his Youtube community page that he is in another crisis. Daniel's posts indicate that he was under the impression that he was communicating with "Grace", who was attempting to blackmail Daniel into giving her his social media passwords, through threats of physical violence. Daniel then leaves a comment that his debit card is working again, but missing around 60 dollars. He announces he is going to go get lunch. On the way, he posts multiple videos of a dog, complaining it might attack him. He also states that he "will fucking murder that dog" if it tries to bite him. Daniel then uploads a video of a company car, which ultimately causes fans to find his location. After announcing his location has been breached, Daniel states he is going to a new location.
A little bit later, Daniel uploads a video of someone off-camera, holding a phone. The video documents a phone call with a person claiming to be the security from MGM who kicked him out. Daniel asks why he was kicked out and is told he was kicked out because he has scabies, is a pedophile, and likes children. Daniel claims that is not true. The caller then referenced the Pinterest boards. Daniel alleges this was taken care of legally and that his social media was hacked in 2021 and he won a court case. The caller then asked Daniel to donate $10 to which Daniel claimed his management was in charge of his finances. The person who is holding the phone asked Daniel if he would take a picture for $5, to which Daniel responded "No". The video then cuts to Daniel frantically running toward the front door of the restaurant. He proceeds to film the vehicle that he claims the person from the beginning of the video entered. He shows a red pickup truck. 4 hours later, Daniel uploads a video alleging he took a bus and is now in Wichita, Kansas. This is impossible as Wichita, Kansas is a 17-hour bus ride. Later in the day, Daniel makes multiple posts to Tiktok and Youtube claiming that he has been stalked by a white pickup truck for the past few hours. In the videos, Walmart signs can be seen in the background. Daniel then announces that his location has been doxxed again. In another video, Daniel claims fans are calling the Big Spring Walmart to have him kicked out. Daniel also claims a man is waiting outside for him with a gun.
Daniel goes live on Tiktok, documenting his adventures around the city. Daniel begins the live by hiding behind a shopping cart at Walmart. He claims that the white pickup truck is in the parking lot, waiting for him. He says that he notified security of the situation. He also claims the owner of the truck strategically parked it to have a complete view of the parking lot. Daniel also alleges that before he started his live stream, he tried to leave the store but the white pickup truck began to follow him, so he returned to the store. An employee can be heard telling Daniel that he checked the parking lot and there is not a white pickup truck in it. Daniel exits the store and shows the parking lot for "evidence". The white pickup truck is not there, but a black pickup truck drives past Daniel and parks in front of the store, which makes him suspicious. Daniel hides behind a vending machine. Eventually, Daniel decides to flee to a neighboring gas station and runs across the parking lot. While he is running, Daniel claims that a white car sped through the parking lot, and he believed it was attempting to catch up to him. Daniel enters the gas station and asks the cashier to call the police because he claims two cars stalking him and sending him death threats on his live stream. Another employee offers to make the phone call for Daniel. Daniel then proceeds to tell the employee about his internet fame and goes into detail about his alleged stalkers. He gives the employees details on the trucks, and the cashier accompanies Daniel outside to look for the trucks. According to both of them, the parking lot is clear. Daniel returns to the gas station building and continues to watch for the black pickup truck. He then claims that the white car is back and shows an employee. Daniel is then told to leave the store. Outside, multiple customers and employees assure Daniel that he is safe. For the rest of the live, Daniel walks around and gives a motivational speech. He talks about his Autism, his family history, his similarities to Donald Trump, and his fanbase. Daniel apologizes for "messing up" and doxxing people in the past. He also acknowledges the Pinterest board incident and claims he was hacked. During Daniel's monologue, he documents himself walking close to and trespassing on the edges of properties. In one yard, a dog barks at him. He yells at a dog and immediately crosses the street, almost getting hit by a car in the process. During the live stream, Daniel starts running, multiple times. Each time he claims to see or hear something suspicious. He eventually goes to a Whataburger and asks if he can use an outlet so he can call an uber. Daniel then immediately ends the live stream. The live stream was uploaded to Youtube by user Acid Gat.
On March 27th, at around 1 am, Daniel goes live on Tiktok again. He films himself walking through the city and talks about his previous safety concerns. Daniel says he talked to some local business owners, and that they said all of the gunshots Daniel thought he heard, were cars and Fourth of July fireworks. It takes Daniel a few minutes to realize it is March. Daniel proceeds to talk about how many police officers there are and films them as they drive by. At some point, Daniel jogs over a bridge. At one point Daniel states that his Uber app is broken, so he is walking back to the gas station he has previously been at. Later while walking along a street, he films a police car doing a U-turn toward him. He claims the police car parked near him and the officers were watching him. Eventually one of the officers approaches Daniel, who films the interaction. The police officer tells Daniel that the station received multiple calls about Daniel. Daniel tells the officer about his celebrity status and Tiktok. The officer tells Daniel that after he heard the calls, he researched Daniel and had been watching his live, and decided to find him. The officer also tells Daniel he is free to go at any time and is not under arrest. The interaction was a very positive one. After saying goodbye to the police officer, Daniel announces he is going back to the gas station to charge his phone and order an Uber. Daniel ended the live stream shortly before arriving at the gas station. Almost immediately after the live stream ends, the location of the gas station that Daniel went to, is posted on Reddit. Daniel makes a few posts telling fans to stop calling the location he is at. The truck stop was spammed with calls from fans, some attempting to make the staff aware of Daniel's reputation and presence, others simply requesting to speak to Daniel. One person reportedly got a hold of Daniel, but the conversation was cut short after Daniel got mad at the caller for referring to him as "Danny Boy" and "Danderson". Eventually, the truck stopped picking up calls.
An account claiming to be Tina Vanderwaal leaves multiple comments on Daniel's Youtube community page, causing him to have a breakdown. Later in the day, Daniel uploads multiple videos of him having a conversation with a fan at the truck stop. The fan buys Daniel a four Loko. Daniel later claims that his location has been leaked and the truck stop received a lot of calls about him. After posting a screenshot with his email pictured, Daniel also claims his email and YouTube page have been leaked and hacked. Daniel goes live on Tiktok and claims he is running from an assassin in the white pickup truck. Daniel ends the live after announcing he has received a threatening text. Daniel immediately uploads a picture of the text messages, a stock image of a gun, and the messages "I see you" and "You can either come to the white truck to negotiate or else". The video was quickly removed from Tiktok. Daniel claims to have called the police over the text messages. Daniel claims the police took him to the hospital, however, this has yet to be found true. Eventually, Daniel got on a bus and left Big Spring.
Sweetwater
On March 28th, Daniel made it to Sweetwater, Texas, after staying on his Greyhound bus for a total of 20 minutes and getting off at the first stop. Daniel claims he saw a white pickup truck at the station. Daniel decided to stay at the station due to what he deemed "a security threat". A few people managed to find Daniel's location, as the business name was in the background of a video he posted. Multiple people attempted to get Daniel kicked out, even having the police called to the location, but all to no avail. Daniel was offered $20 to mop the bathrooms of the truck stop, and he accepted. Later that day, Daniel says he will be collaborating with Playboi Carti (the rapper) in Atlanta in a tiktok video. Daniel left Sweetwater later in the evening and headed to Dallas.
San Antonio
Daniel arrived in San Antonio on March 29th. He went live on Tiktok while sleeping at the Greyhound station. During the live stream, an employee awoke Daniel from his slumber and proceeded to kick him out of the building. Daniel was asked to leave due to the business receiving many calls. Daniel uploaded multiple videos of him walking around the city, while simultaneously shouting out people for Cashapp donations. In one video, he shouted out Jeffrey Epstein.
Houston
Daniel arrived in Houston later in the day on March 29th. On March 30th, Daniel uploaded a video of himself being kicked out of the Greyhound bus station. Later, Daniel posted videos inside of the same bus station, resulting in the location being notified of his presence. Daniel was kicked out again, and in one video an employee can be heard telling Daniel that he is being kicked out for calling the police to the location during his first visit. Daniel claims he received a death threat, which was what prompted the 911 call. Later, Daniel posts videos from a business that was identified as Bonchon and was also kicked out after the business received multiple calls about Daniel. Daniel apparently called the police over being doxxed and waited outside. In one video, he claimed the business received a bomb threat from one of his trolls, however all of the customers are still dining in the video, and Daniel is the only one outside. After being kicked out, Daniel goes live on Tiktok, back at Bonchon, where he is kicked out again. Daniel then posts a video of him talking to the police, where he screams at them to "call in dispatch". At the end of the video, Daniel flips them off. In a video posted immediately after, Daniel films an almost empty sidewalk, with just a pedestrian walking a dog. In the video he seemingly out of nowhere screams "BITCH..... I TOLD YOU I WAS GETTING DOXXED!". The police were too far away to be seen, but it is assumed he was screaming at them in the video. Later, Daniel posts a video claiming that during his last conversation with the police, he received a warning that any more calls would result in an arrest and that his internet presence was crazy. Daniel announced that he is "about ready to press charges on the police department". Later, Daniel visits a third location and refuses to pay for his meal, resulting in him being kicked out of the restaurant. Daniel soon returns to the 3rd location and announces that he refuses to be threatened with jail and is back to call the police. Later, Daniel uploads a picture of a receipt from Pour Behavior on his Tiktok. The receipt showed that he purchased $15 Garlic Pasta and $16 Texas-sized nachos with chicken added for an additional $6. After the restaurant threatened to kick Daniel out for not being able to pay, a fan came to his aid and covered the cost of the bill.
Daniel remained in Houston on the 31st, spending his time in a Dave and Busters, which he was eventually kicked out of due to calls from trolls, who located him. That night, he started a live stream while walking through the park next to the zoo. He began getting phone calls from multiple phone numbers, to which the caller made death and rape threats against him, claiming to be the tickle monster, and later, Murk. Daniel became suspicious of a person following behind him with a flashlight, so he broke out into a run and asked a fellow pedestrian to call the police. He pulled up texts to show proof of the threats, and the live ended.
New Jersey/New York City
Daniel’s new managers, including IWishIHadADad, aided Daniel in purchasing a ticket to New York City. Larson’s motivation for this venture is to meet up with Tina and Grace Vanderwaal, which he has been told requested his presence for an investigation. He also wishes to meet Grace face to face. The news of Daniels's flight spread around the community, and while he claimed his flight would be taking place on April 4th, the community inferred that it would be happening on the 3rd, Daniels's previous statement being a misdirection. At around 2:00, he is believed to have passed security. His plane had a transfer at the Charlotte Airport in North Carolina. His flight was due to land in Newark, New Jersey, where he planned to take a train from Penn Station into New York City.
At 7:57 PM, April 3rd, Daniel shared photos of himself inside of an airplane to Daniel Larson HQ. However, the validity of the photos may be questioned as the headrests appear different in two of five pictures, and Daniel looks much cleaner here than he has only a couple of days previously.
Around noon on April 4th, Daniel uploaded multiple videos confirming his arrival to "New York". It is unclear if he meant to say Newark. Daniel uploaded multiple videos of him talking about his number and location being leaked. He posts an unsupported claim that the fire alarms were pulled at the airport as "an attack". Daniel then uploads multiple videos from a subway or train cart, where he is seen punching and kicking his surroundings while freaking out about his information being leaked. Later, a fan posted a video on Tiktok of Daniel in their car, with the caption "IN THE BIG APPLE". Reddit user u/Specialist_Sand8761 posted photos of himself and Daniel, taking credit for driving Daniel from the airport to Jersey City, where he dropped him off at the train station. The user also reveals that Daniel was actively on the call with Olivia Vanderwaal, or more accurately, the troll impersonator spawned from the 3 Days War. Specialist_Sand8761 was subsequently attacked on Reddit for his support towards Daniel.
Others began spotting Larson, and his location as of around 6:00 PM EST was Exchange Place in Jersey City. He took a train to the World Trade Center and was revealed his location, Beats Karaoke in Brooklyn, to the Olivia Vanderwaal troll.
Throughout the 5th, Daniel would be continuously spotted and doxxed in New York City. Fans would continue to find and meet up with him, paying for meals, giving gifts, and even paying for a room to sleep in on the 4th-5th. On the night of the 5th, the Bodega Incident occurred, in which Daniel was removed from a store after being harassed by “Zocmonkey” on TikTok, which led to an altercation between himself and the store owner. He checked himself into a hospital for a black eye and concussion, but no major injuries were sustained.
On April 6th, Daniel announced he would possibly leave New York and head to Kansas, as a Grace Vaderwaal informed Larson that’s where she is presiding. That night, he got a motel to sleep in, and was, according to himself, has armed security.
During Daniel’s time in New York, fans urged him and World of T-Shirts to meet up. This included attempts to lure Daniel to Josh’s location, discussing who would win in a fight between the two, and even getting Daniel to visit Michael Quinn’s apartment. Both Joshua and Daniel were hostile towards each other, making multiple videos denouncing any potential meet-up. Michael Quinn threatened Daniel with a security force, and Daniel, in turn, make many TikToks threatening Josh and Michael with the U.S National Guard, a gun, and to kill him. The gun threat eventually led to the banning of Larson’s TikTok account. Daniel also blamed Michael for ruining his finances, banning his account, and his overall misfortune.
Since the Bodega Incident, Daniel sported a large cut across his nose that he would pick at, causing it to bleed.
Fans joked that Daniel was entering his “anti-Semitic arc” after posting two offensive TikToks, one in which a song from the perspective of Hitler plays, and the other where Daniel hails Hitler. Daniel also posted a video claiming Joshua Block is Jewish.
On April 11th, Daniel posts multiple videos on Tiktok. Fans were able to determine he was at the American Dream mall from the background of Daniel's videos.
On April 12th, Daniel posted on Youtube that he was asked to leave the mall by "twenty troopers" who took him to a train station. The same day he ate a pizza, drank what presumably is beer. Daniel also asks for donations as his "financials are looking too good". It can be assumed he didn't have enough money to cover his tab. Later that day he can also be seen visiting the Borough of Manhattan Community College.
