Before The Grumps - Arin Interviews Danny

[@de4d86]

Dan: *tells entire life story* Arin: That's great man.

[@Fourzifer]

In his defence, Arin had already heard the absolute majority of it off, and later on, Grumps.

[@piccolojunior9820]

I mean...it was wasn't it?

[@indefinitepain-benightedio3811]

Looking good Piccolo.

[@Zombiffix]

CupofJello I'm sure Arin's heard most of it since they are besties. This was more for our benefit.

[@shadovvwolfie790]

Arin only cares about Avi.

[@ardrinaheireann6661]

I hope when Arin and Danny get older (like late 60's early 70's) and they still do the show they should rename it to Game Gramps

[@Fernsss_]

That would be awesome lol

[@defghui]

or they could make the show in the bathroom and call it Game Dumps.

[@MoodyBlues2077]

They could make gay porn together and call it Game Humps.

[@guyinthecorner0]

RetroThe GameBro *Gay Humps

[@otakumarcus]

Hydrogen_ilm and when the Grumps have kids, they'll take over the show and make it a family business

[@glasspaps]

Dan: I'm sorry, I feel like I'm talking too much about myself Arin: ...That's what we're here for Dan: Oh, right I love you, Dan

[@nero9978]

Darius Vi Brittania We all love dan. Danny is love. Danny is life.

[@tonyhakston536]

Get Danned.

[@maggiemccauslin1084]

I thought that was sweet

[@PerfectCell9]

Dan is so wholesome… Love that guy

[@timestopMachinist]

Danny has the most comforting voice

[@heatherharris8682]

Yes! I'd love for him to do some asmr.

[@timestopMachinist]

I mean I would just have a conversation with him...

[@heatherharris8682]

ImNoBanana Fair enough 😁

[@carl_consumer.of.reality]

timestopMachinist why do u think everyone loves NSP??

[@SRLovesPandas1]

He sounds like the perfect radio deejay

[@Rydiante]

"That's always been my personal issue with like, science and math. If there's one answer, somebody else can find it. But if you're creative, if you're in the arts, you're doing something totally unique and there's a million answers, and no one can do it quite like you can." So much inspiration.

[@adrianstegmeier9110]

Rydiante it is but id like to say a lot of science is art there's always a better way a faster a more accurate way that a new brain, a new perspective can find not everyone can do that. Even finding the simplest way or connecting all the theories in a specific way no one else has ever thought of its special. And a new person is going to ask a question never asked before another person might find an answer and what i like most is how connected it is across the world where two countries may be political rivals but Russia and the US will never seperate their space programs quantum computing is being worked on by Chinese by Americans and Canadians and French it's like being able to appreciate old Japanese paintings and Italian baroque music it relates to everyone everyone can appreciate it. The art may not be in the answer in the final piece but the art is in the journey in the process.

[@mopeyzoolion3451]

We just have the problem of 'art' being a subjective matter, there is no correct answer to if it 'is' or not, get it too wrong and no one will understand or care.

[@Shlungoidwungus]

Sure, there's one answer, but the answer isn't anywhere near as important as the question. Anyone can ask a question and eventually get an answer, what is almost infinitely harder is asking a question worth answering. That's where the creativity of science and especially mathematics comes into play. The creativity in those disciplines is not front ended like music or literature, it's at the bedrock of their lasting capability. Math wouldn't have lasted 3000+ years if there weren't creative people asking "why not," all the time.

[@joshwhite-pullerofstrings9518]

Rydiante I wish I was like that but I prefer math for some reasob

[@KyanosBFF]

That part actually made me tear up

[@dumbfish97]

Does Danny is before Grumps?

[@titaniumoddity4699]

Billy Kane Who knows does Danny Avidanny is stoner before Game Grump.

[@aranockcooke98]

Billy Kane the rumor come out

[@SamsomiteMight]

Billy Kane 🤔

[@bananaunicorn2757]

Billy Kane yesh indeed

[@sour_trout]

Is just speculation but maybe indeed...

[@jonochrome]

"The reason I went into advertising is--" **immediately cuts to advertisement**

[@HeroSword_P]

Jonochrome Hahahaha thanks for making me laugh at midnight.

[@prince_-ol6cf]

Jonochrome same

[@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf]

Ya that happened to me too!

[@vierots]

moments like this make me a little sad i don't get ads bc that sounds hilarious 😭 cosmic comedic timing is top 3 fav forms of humor

[@taylorduchannes782]

People keep commenting about how all Arin says is "Hmmm... yeah.... wow. Okay" and I think people feel it sounds like he doesn't care, but the way I hear it is Arin giving Danny a chance to talk about whatever he needed or wanted to talk about. Instead of cutting him off or furthering his own questions/agendas he just let Dan talk. And I think that's awesome

[@orangeman3220]

2 years later and ill respond with yes, I agree.

[@tastypotato9272]

People just like to use every single thing arin does against him

[@newchallenger238]

29:17 describes it the best

[@killpuddle9977]

I'm glad he is doing that because I get to hear Danny talk.

[@boundarkness]

And also, the public truly doesn't know how Arin is with the camera off. He may actually be a more leveled person without having to perform for something.

[@SCHOENINGB]

Dan... your grandfather changed the world... But you have changed the worlds of many, including mine. Same goes for arin. My life is difficult, and game grumps has made it much easier. Thanks

[@carl_consumer.of.reality]

JBgaming Danny is my hero, NSPand GameGrumps really inspire me.

[@sociallyineptrecluse8756]

JBgaming his grandfather co-owns a modified patent that changed the medical field. however he is not the sole owner/inventor...

[@SCHOENINGB]

K lol

[@TheZavinskiStories]

Arin: "You did it all yourself." Danny: "It was a team effort." Me: Aww, they love each other so much!

[@boyinaband]

That thing about leaving a band feeling like breaking up with a girlfriend is so so true

[@criance2990]

Whoa, Boyinaband listens to game grumps : o

[@ArgusJord]

Ryoko Tsune He was ON AN EPISODE OF GRUMPCADE.

[@s_murphy_games]

Oh, hi dave

[@ximontrespalacios1257]

Boyinaband It is worse when you leave a band and "leave" your girlfriend at the same time. Kids, don't have bands with your SO. Lots of thing could go wrong.

[@MarissaScalero]

Oh wow!! You and Dan should really collab together sometime. That would be SO awesome. :D

[@lydiarodgers]

every time dan says he's 37 i refuse to believe it he's such a child

[@wackaj1299]

Lydia same here, he looks so young and acts like a 20 years old

[@fishfish6135]

I think he's more laidback, but he;s certainly more mature than a 20 year old.

[@LordCuckoldacus]

Very good Sam

[@rowanm1111]

+Sam Jones sexy and baby was used in the same sentence, describing the same human

[@fishfish6135]

thedemidod hetalian It was in an episode

[@imogendevey420]

it would be so awesome if Dan interviewed Avi

[@thelonewolf191]

Imogen Devey EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[@imogendevey420]

thelonewolf191 we would need a remix of the Avi confusion noises

[@sisbox3785]

+Imogen Devey Uuuhhhh

[@Rykiniafan1]

interview goes like this: "avi can i interview u?" "eeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... okay bye"

[@saraelizabeth2532]

oh my god...the possibilities!!!

[@shaurmiath6719]

Jesus. I'm 29. I'm listening to Dan talk about being 29 and how hopeless he felt then. I'm a writer, comedian and a singer, and I just find myself asking "what's the point? I'm already this old and I've got nothing on the board to show for it. What am I gonna do at this point?" And I see Dan, and I look at all the things he's done since, and I feel this fire igniting inside of me. Like, I can do it. I can be something. I don't know if you'll ever really see this, Grumps, but thank you so much for putting this out. I'm going for it. Wish me luck, guys! Good luck to you all, too!

[@ohok8970]

It's never too late to show the world what you got.

[@deececassius482]

Go out and dry hump the future dude!

[@rev0lve638]

Promise us you won't pre and lose that flame, friend

[@PumpkinChi]

Keep om rocking mate :)

[@mookooy]

Sorry but your life changing realization is muddied a bit by your ahegao profile pic

[@samueluy6586]

Danny is to me what Kurt Cobain was to him. I cannot admire him more. Great guy. Nothing but love for the man.

[@jaykay0401]

Definitely! Kurt Cobain was my #1 idol before I found dan! Dan has become bae!

[@cameronmcgee2527]

Sami The Salami The best thing is that he isn't a part of the 27 club, despite having such a low point at that age.

[@joeclark6413]

Same here

[@raccoon_goth]

Same here, man

[@eckitronix]

And Danny didn't have to die by age 27, and he's one of my biggest inspirations myself and I'm still like "wait he's 40-something?" and he still is absolutely one of the coolest musicians I know

[@lordcosby6364]

i feel like Danny's life would be so great to be put into a movie.

[@QuarkGamingLLC]

Lord Cosby it would be AMAZING( It's a reference to what your name references)

[@micahneale7063]

Lord Cosby especially when all dan did for like a year was smoke pot and play morrowind. what an epic montage that would be

[@0768E]

No.

[@MrGamernova]

Game Grumps animators, Get on it!

[@lordcosby6364]

Andrew Lenz Thanks for noticing! :D

[@davidtuma9067]

I went into this expecting comedy and all I got was inspiration. Now I know that this is not likely to be seen by you, but listening to this both makes me reconsider my goals and just simply more determined to achieve them. Danny, for me personally, you've got an idol status.

[@SpecialJess2]

and then you fall asleep and forget to be determined watch more youtube and eat breakfast

[@davidtuma9067]

Jessie TheMedic Excellent point.

[@Madalf-the-fool]

Michael Beuer I think it's truly incredible how there's a lot of people living similar lives but in different ways if that makes sense. I feel like I'm at exactly where Danny was at when he was 22 and I what I have learned from everyone else's success is that I get inspired and I feel hope because I know things will turn out great!

[@davidtuma9067]

Jacob Desciak I certainly hope things will turn out well for you. ;)

[@lissi4052]

Dan does NOT look his age.

[@aidztube8928]

"If there's one answer, somebody else can find it. But if you're in the arts, it's creative, like you're doing something totally unique, and there's a million answers, and no one can do it quite like you can." -Dan Avidan, once again showing why he's my idol

[@hivemind8927]

[@trevorgrover5619]

Shit, Dan is interesting to listen to.

[@accountformc4801]

Trevor Grover he really is

[@Howesenberg]

I come back to this video whenever I need a mood boost, he's a very inspirational dude.

[@therealdutchidiot]

And here I am, rewatching this stuff right before some less than fun stuff is about to happen and it just has me wondering; how on earth could anyone ever hate Dan?

[@TheShortGirl666]

I still can't believe that I didn't like Danny just because he was taking Jon's place. I'm really sorry, Danny.

[@lillith7257]

Mina the Bina people who do that make literally no sense. Especially since he was only there for like a year. After maybe 2 years if you needed it you should have easily gotten over that long before this point. But there are people who to this fucking day still say that shit. Jon just felt like arins clone. He really took off on his own and became his own thing. I can't fathom how asinine you have to be to feel that way.

[@Fasulord]

just two dudes As a fan of the original grump duo who took a long time to get used to the new crew, the simple fact was that the audience for the show was, and still is, very young. 12-14 yo kids losing a great thing that was very funny abruptly and with (still, at least as far as I know) almost no explanation, was jarring and weird. Then factor in that younger people don't deal with change well on the average, and you get conspiracy theories and Danny hate.

[@Fasulord]

Some people came for jon, or became fans of jon because of the grumps, and when he left they lost interest, or thought the show had lost something, It isn't retarded to still want something from the past, it's just the nature of nostalgia.

[@lillith7257]

erasergun it isn't retarded sure At first But to take this long to get over nostalgia is in fact retarded Besides Jon does better on his own If they don't like GG now they've wasted their time Danny is way more a part of the show now that it's been like 5 Or so years That's why its retarded Jon barely left an impact of one total year Nostalgia even dictates it takes far longer for that to be a factor as time is the necessary component It is retardation to claim that it is nostalgia. It is retardation to go this long and still complain It is retardation to have vitriol hate for someone just because he isn't someone they like. Someone who has been here longer It is retarded to still complain to this day that this isn't their GG If they didn't get over it by now That's them purposefully being obstinate. That's them complaining about absolutely nothing. At this point why are they still here? Why complain? Its been more than a few years since Danny has joined. Meaning it should of been apparent that Danny was here to stay. Jon moved on So should they The end.

[@Fasulord]

Okay dude, you win this argument. Congratulations.

[@Ikarusu]

Basically any Game Grumps video but without gameplay.

[@EmileeAria413]

And less comedy, technically.

[@anturanx]

MrLegendofLP and less screaming

[@QuasarKnightGaming]

I hope Danny knows he DID change the world. He's touched the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people and makes a positive influence for millions. Thanks Danny!

[@sin_decent]

Dan is actually the person who made me realize I wanted to go into comedy. I can't thank him enough for how he inspired me.

[@SheepProd_YT]

QuasarKnight Dan's incredibly humble, given my impressions of him, so I think even if he saw the evidence that he had changed the world, he still wouldn't believe it

[@jimbo6239]

I honestly thought that this was like a job interview from early 2013 with Arin and Danny

[@BrentWigginsWords]

I'd watch a documentary of Danny's life, narrated by Danny of course. Danny also interviews great; he answers so many questions in one sitting.

[@lou1478]

This is fucking AWESOME. Arin is smart, concise and great at interviews and follow up with questions. Danny is just charismatic and beautiful as always. Rock and roll.

[@Bincle]

I feel like if every Grump gets an interview, Danny and Brian are going to be the most interesting.

[@Bincle]

Damn dude I don't have time for all of this :O

[@TheClassyCharmeleon]

But Barry though

[@kenway2333]

supersizedkitty Suzy and Arin might be interesting as well

[@JoystickStereo]

+Jacob Bailey I had already watched all of the interviews. Arin's and Suzy's interviews were, in my opinion, the greatest out of all of them.

[@Matthimeo]

Brian's was really interesting, not many people get PHDs in theoretical physics, go onto become a professor at a university, and then give it all up to dress like a ninja and play video games for a living

[@CompositeCreativity]

Joshua Anderson These podcast interviews were-and still are-on Soundcloud to listen to. Vernon tweeted about it over the summer. I think they're only putting these on KZbin because it's probably a case of not enough people listening when the podcasts were put out there months ago.

[@Syntherus]

Yuiop Morgul I'm 21, my mom is 45, and my dad is 50. 40 might not be old but there's such a thing as old for being the parent of a child of a certain age. I'd say your 20s is the prime age range to have kids. Once you hit 30 and older you're having a kid late in life and the closer you are to 40+ the closer you are to being an old parent.

[@extraextra8021]

aw man, the part where dan talks about his religious performance at 13yo and his grampa's pride got my eyes waterin q_q its so heartwarming to know that his grampa as a holocaust survivor got to experience that. its bittersweet cus he has this wonderful gift to live to see his culture pass on but also tragic that he went thru something so horrible that his culture was nearly wiped out.

[@misteryA555]

Prince Charmling There was a story I heard once. Someone said that when they were young they were making a lot of noise in shul. An older man shushed them, but an even older woman- a holocaust survivor- told him “Don’t you dare shush them! I never thought I’d get to hear children making noise in shul again!” That story gives me goose bumps

I'm convinced Dan is the reincarnation of an ancient musical sex wizard. He is filled with the wisdom of his clan of old. Lost tomes exist in the deepest caves somewhere in Israel. Sacred texts that tell of his 10,000 person orgies and his music that shattered mountains.

[@nomadsstuff1770]

It was Danny's voice that crumbled the walls of Jericho

Day after day, Dan earns my respect more and more. He truly is my hero. Especially because he really can motivate people and put a smile on your face at the same. All of which, just by being himself.

[@SomeGuy-lx4wk]

Also, I would love to see an interview of Dan interviewing Avi.

[@cribbd7355]

Ruben van gijsel this was on SoundCloud? something like that. they tweeted it a couple months ago

[@beastfighter1]

They posted this series of podcasts to Soundcloud before this video, so that's how I've been able to listen to it.

Hey Guys, a german here (yeah I know, inb4 nazi jokes) I really appreciate you doing this, seriosly. It already helped me a lot. Im stuck in a university degree of law which takes about approx. 8 years and thats all Ive done in my adult life. I can really realte to Dan in feeling shackled unto social conventions of "you have to get a steady income job" so I myself never dared to pursue my dreams of creative output. I always wanted to be an actor or comedian and wanted to move people with my music, so... long story short, very much to relate to, thanks for bringing that up, Daniel Avidan, you godlike piece of fine ass.

[@killerslowpoke]

Dick jokes and other forms of toilet humor are nice, but it's this really down to earth stuff that really sticks with me more than anything I hear from this show. It's a good change of pace to hear some of your favorite creators on KZbin just get really real and genuine with their friends and their audience.

[@rwbyistrash603]

Video: *Shows Dan pouring his heart out to Arin and the audience* Up next: Shows Arin and Danny in berry suits staring at eachother

[@Mike_Ka-Chowski]

in an alternate timeline, Game Grumps is hosted by Jon and Dan's ex-Skyhill Bandmate

The answer is don't think about it.

[@pizzalover346]

That’s a big animator colab

[@Kailova07]

Danny's story is really inspiring to me, since I just chose to drop from a 4-year Mechanical Engineering degree and take the 2-year General Studies degree I've already earned so I can pursue music composition and production, and some amount of performing I suppose. To see the amount of crap he's been through and the person he is today is incredible, especially when I'm dealing with my own crap and I'm not even in the thick of it yet...

ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli Of course I will. I'll fail over and over again, and every time will be another lesson learned, leading me one more step closer to success. And I may not reach some high level of success in music, but you'd damn better believe I'll give it all I've got, and I assume that's more than you can say. Go troll somewhere else.

[@taalis2741]

Still waiting for them to do something like this again. So relaxing. I come back and listen to this episode like twice a year xD

Danny is 40 now... i remember watching this, 3 years ago, i love Danny so much

[@DragonIllution]

I've recently Re-discovered gamegrumps and all the other crazy things they do and there is a lot of Dan's stories that resonate with me. I'm in that point where I dunno if I have just accepted my demise and that i'll never launch off of this dead end where i'm at. I love animation, just like Arin, it's what I've always wanted to do. But now i'm 36 and I feel like I have absolutely nothing to show for... Hearing Dan's story gives me a glimpse of hope, but with everything that's going on, plus i'm latino, everyday those dreams feels further and further away.

[@shane1718]

I feel you, I really want to be a singer but I don't know how, I know how to sing I just want to know how people could listen, I want to release a song on my channel but I don't have a mike, and I don't know how to edit and record properly, and people only come to my channel because I animate when I only really wanted to do KZbin for gaming and singing, but I'm scared people won't like my songs, and I'm only 13

[@DragonIllution]

@@shane1718 My friend, You have nothing to loose and everything to gain. At age 13 what you need to do is face your fears head on. Go for it. Sing your heart out. Use Smule for example. Make covers with a twist on KZbin, share with friends and receive every feedback, good or bad and learn from it. There will always be room for improvement. Now, me? I'm 36, I have other responsibilities, I have others who depend on me and my income. However, I'm still trying, doing little things here and there and it's been fruitful. I haven't given up yet.

[@shane1718]

@@DragonIllution thank you, and your right, your animations are amazing and beautiful, don't give up, and I learned some things in my life, and now I tell you that age doesn't matter

[@vilespecter]

This interview was honestly cathartic and inspirational, and I wish I could have found it back when it came out but I had no knowledge of Game Grumps then. As a musician it's like Dan is telling me "what you're doing is ok. Keep going. It's okay that the other stuff didn't work out."

[@mishy1654]

Jesus. Danny's story is just so amazing and inspirational. despite the hiccups he still managed to become THIS influential and successful in basically life. One hell of a success story

[@Therealgibz]

I honestly wish I had discovered you when you were unknown because I love your music, but I'm so appreciative to have it now. You're the man dan, from one nj native to the other.

[@McKeelix]

"What am I doing, I could be dead right now!" I feel this.

[@NixKyoimi]

Omg, Danny is just so inspiring. I love his story and it really let's you know it's never too late to start. As someone who is really scared of being too old to do anything it really gives me hope.

[@TheVaporeonrules234]

He's just so wise. He's been so many places and done so many things.

[@Pigzit]

As a 13 year old listening to this, I really feel like my life will be much more open to me, because this shit is really changing and entrancing. I really don't want to be an adult, but this makes me feel more welcoming of the world and growing up.

[@Bones-and-Coal]

"We all obsessively explore the things that we love" *looks at KZbin history, which is a solid wall of Game Grumps videos*

[@ainasong]

Dan tells his earliest memory... Me: My earliest memory is of myself sitting in a high chair in my grandma's kitchen. It's someone's birthday, and my mom sucked the helium out of a balloon, made a few squeaky choking noises, and pretended to collapse behind the island counter. I remember screaming and crying for my momma, and eventually she jumped back up, laughing. ... I had always believed that to have been a bad dream from my early childhood. Until in a random conversation I recalled it out loud, and my mom laughed, saying she couldn't believe I remembered that. Damn it, mom.

[@jupiterstevens-hill7331]

Danny is very soothing.

[@parus_1671]

okay so... a friend of mine said that i remind her of dan of the game grumps... i'd never heard of him before but today i've been watching some videos and oh boy am i _honored_ if i really have something like this guy has. he's got a new fan now

[@frosthawk9136]

Whenever I feel lost in my life, I come back to this podcast. For a few years I’ve done this. Listening to Dan tell his experiences and hardships gives me hope for my future. Thank you for this, Arin and Dan!

[@MrMoptop2]

14:00 Danny: "My granddad invented the body electrode with his partner Dick Berman..." Arin: "What? I didn't know that." *tfw you can remember things Danny told Arin better than Arin can*
