  • I interviewed Danny Duncan who is as one of CZcams’s wildest creators - but he’s also one of the smartest. Years before MrBeast launched Beast Burger or Feastables and Logan Paul and KSI sold out stores with Prime, Duncan was crashing Zumiez’s website and selling out Tilly’s and Spencers with his popular merch line Virginity Rocks.
    Danny Duncan shared untold stories about his early years (like living with Chris Chann in LA, working with Jason Lee of My Name is Earl), all the businesses he’s started (From 16 Handles to Good Sport), how he’s been able to sell $150 million of merch, and why he's not exactly just the "bad boy" people think he is. We were also joined by his manager Stefan Toler who had a lot of amazing stories to share.

      I'm 49 and I've not heard of Danny before today and now, I'm a huge fan! My mom was an alcoholic too so I understand completely what you're talking about...I'm a creator here in Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park if you'd like to say hi 😜🌄🐻

      Cool and all buddy but you're still weird 🤷‍♂️ I remember seeing back then it was over a dozen little humans 🥱 and you still not said a word about it
      Speak about it or something man, i used to be a fan. You obviously did not just never see multiple poIice reports 😂 Why do you ignore something like this? 🤯
      On a real note, after watching this video, i empathize with your childhood with an aIcohoIic family, and economic insecurity. It would make sense how that could cause you to not understand ethicals of relationships. (At least from what i know, i'm not a doctor 😂) If you came out and explained your past in relation to your relationships, and how you are moving better now, a lot of people who know the situation would forgive you
      But for the time being, how is anyone supposed to know you not still seeing more little humans on the side? I understand a lot of people on the internet don't understand forgiveness, but simultaneously, a lot of people do. But without apology for your horrific actions, and confirmation you would never do something like it again, what is there to forgive?
      There is very little worse in this world than those who take advantage of little humans, and from all i know right now, you are one of them 👎
      Lanny luncan 🗣 i guess you really is youtube's "bad boy" 😂

      Just because she was an alcoholic doesn't mean she wasn't a caring mother... He just recognized she had a problem but apparently he still always felt loved by her... There are functioning alcoholics and that's what I'm thinking his mom was...

      These internet kids play up how "hard" their upbringing was for clout. It's the "I was raised in the streets" BS people would say in the late 80s and 90s, only repackaged for clout with post-2000 internet babies.

Regardless of what he was doing i was always keen to the heart he had. Danny loves being wild and enjoying life, but he also has an incredible sense of self-awareness and its very evident. Its been so fucking awesome watching danny succeed and i hope he continues to do so. A lot of us have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of what he has done with his life, and some have even benefitted from his generosity. Give em their flowers while they're here.

      @@Billionaire1998 Yeah because it makes sense to buy a 10 million dollar home that provides the same as the 400k home. Just pay more in taxes, cleaning fees, maintenance, just to flex. You can’t be more illogical. Bigger house doesn’t mean better in a lot of cases. Think outside of the materialistic mindset you have.

      ​@@Billionaire1998 I just watched that video yesterday of him surprising his mom with the house. She had bought a house for her and her kids previously but unfortunately lost it. His goal was to buy her that house back. The new owner wanted 200,000 more than the value so he found her a bigger house with more land than has enough room for his sister and her daughter as well. Now they all have a beautiful house. It's VERY clear his mom wanted her original house because it was sentimental. Now they have a bigger house with more land they have made a home. And I would guess this home is more important to her for sentimental reasons than any other "bigger" house.

      ​@@Billionaire1998 and if you actually watch his videos he gives A LOT back to the community and others who can use the help. As a single mom (with 3 successful adult children) who has always put my kids first I can understand her completely. I don't have 💩 but the pride I have in my kids/grandkids and what they have achieved and do for others makes me rich! I don't even have a car right now but smile every day because my kids and grandkids are healthy and happy. His mom's happiness with memories and sentimental memories is exactly why this young man hasn't changed and become a egotistical brat and helps others with his success. No parent is perfect, we all have faults and struggles but she clearly instilled values and family focus in her kids
