The Untold Story of Danny Duncan: YouTube's $150M Bad Boy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- I interviewed Danny Duncan who is as one of RUclips’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.

thanks Jon ❤️
Love you Danny boy ❤️
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" 😂
You know we love you bro❤
Danny find Jesus👑 He is the Creator you want to collab with
That’s heavy.. growing up seeing your mother being an alcoholic and instead of hating her or despising her you just want to help her and give her what she couldn’t give you. Takes a good heart
It takes a great heart. Idk if anybody else noticed but I noticed the same thing. Most kids would be asses and not help the mom
It depends what they do some will beat you obviously people won’t accept that
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.
Don't buy it for a second
P lol🥺😲😇😇👻😇😇⛷️🧞🧞🧞🧞🧞⛷️🧞🧚🧞⛷️🧞🧑🦼🧑🦼🤾🤾🤾🤾⛰️☘️ll
The interviewer in this is phenomenal. Amazing questions that I’m sure everyone is curious about. Even the follow up questions were perfect.
Thank you Chris! Means a lot to hear with all the prep I put into it 🙏 hope you enjoy the other interviews on the channel too
Danny is surprisingly tactful in this conversation. He must have invested in some good media training. Smart guy, I've gained respect for him.
Why is it surprising? And why did he need media training? He deserves more credit than you think.
I'm sure he gives a shit about your respect for him.
Whats up Czs world love the videos
i love how danny can show his true feelings and emotions and express it in front of the world it's amazing.
yea and treat people like your pets because you have money to pay them off, i mean what a hero amirite 😂
@@Gacho96 Jesus loves you just keep listening to everything you hear and choose to hate you will go nowhere in life
@@rain3635 Jesus isn't real 😂😂😂😂. Spineless
@@Gacho96you do realize that everyone around him has the choice to leave right? Clearly they don’t have it to bad if they stick around him
@@Gacho96 They make fun of it themselves.... i mean look at jake even raising the money he wants for some things 😂
I fucking love Danny. As someone who’s also come from poverty this is the first creator to actually make me feel like I can break the cycle by believing in myself.
You can
@@danny Legend
@@dannycan i too?
@@pratham9765 Absolutely and I believe you will!
I'm a 50 year old man living my childhood again through Danny's videos. He's freaking hilarious and seems to be a Lovely Guy!!! Wish ya'll the Best!!!
Awesome I love this!
Danny Duncan was the first youtuber I could ever watch. This kid is one of a kind. He’s a true natural. It’s been a pleasure to watch this guy grow.
I just watched %100 of this video so easily, super entertaining and interesting the AVD must be insane
So happy to hear that!! Haha I'll keep you posted on AVD
Tryna be just like this man
This is the best interview
@@youshaeithat desert with Danny sounds awesome I ain’t lame but I’m respectful and I’ve watched him for a good 7 years
who tf puts the percentage before the number
2:40 into the video and I have a whole other level of respect for Danny. His personality he has played online has always been jokes and the nothing really bothers him vibe. Like to see him open up I related on a personal level. We’re all human at the end of the day
I have alot of respect for a man who goes on front of millions of people and lay it all out. Well done Danny
It’s actually cool to see Danny vulnerable. He plays such a macho bad a dude you forget he’s a real person. I feel like I actually met you today Danny. I’m a huge fan brother! So proud of you man
Danny is a str8 up genius. Not only he became successful himself but made his entire circle become successful and too. Incredible story, happy to be a loyal follower of his.
Danny is honestly such a good human being. At first, i thought he was an asshole, still is kind of but that's his humor. His good deeds and all show who he really is and I praise him for being so strong
a persona is nothing when you have done all the amazing things that this man has done for many communities. ASSHOLES 4EVA!!!!
Danny def a lovable asshole and if you knew where he was from you’d understand

Danny is so down to earth and knowledgeable, glad you were able to talk to him and share this with us
Hey man I'm a 43 year old male from Tupelo Mississippi. I just wanted to say that Danny you have a beautiful heart. I can relate to the struggle. I have been doing my best to keep 3 kids satisfied. After my father passed in 2021 I have been going through this very complex depression. Danny when I get the chance to see you open up and give back I get so emotional and it gives me inspiration and faith that we're going to make it. My beautiful wife thank God believes in me and with that I feel like I really can make. Things have been tough for us man. Danny thank you for never giving up
You're clearly hoping hell see this and give you money. I doubt your story of woe.
@@robovac3557if he wanted to pitch Danny his sob story he could have more luck directly messaging him and his entourage over and over through instagram,guys just lettin some feelings through a comment and here you come just crappin on it😐gain some compassion in ur life man😂
This is truly the shit that we aspiring creators needed honestly, it’s easy to overthink and over complicate things and Danny has showed us that all you gotta do really is stay authentic and consistent, I’m glad this piece of content exists now ❤️
Matt so glad to hear that man 🙏 that’s honestly a big reason why I left my jobs at RUclips and IG to make more content like this to help aspiring creators. Much more to come 🚀
Nah, has nothing to do with what you just said. Dude sold out, simple. Nothing organic about him.
@@ZxAMobile hater. You don’t know what sell out means
@@zixxer1727 I literally know perfectly what it means clearly if you think I don't then that's all I need to know. You think Danny is your bro?
@@ZxAMobile why dont you like black people
Danny is literally the definition of a rock! such a solid man! we love you Danny
This just goes to show you that truly nothing is impossible. Thank you to both Jon and Danny for a phenomenal conversation.
The first interview I've ever watched and Jon you are an amazing interviewer, not once was I bored, and the questions you asked were very relatable as to what us (Danny's viewers) wanted to hear. I respect the transparency from Danny, the thorough questions and just overall flow. Can't wait to see the upcoming content.
Noah thank you so much man, seriously means a lot to hear that with all the prep that goes into each and every interview especially this one. Hopefully you enjoy the others on my channel as well 🙏
My parents were alcoholics also
I ended up with a drug problem from 8th grade until 4 years ago. Started watching your videos in rehab. I’m now almost 30 and life is better than ever. I haven’t spoke to my father im ten years and my mom and I rarely speak. All I have is my son and my wife. Thanks for the videos @danny Duncan
❤
He you just keep on keeping on I don't know u but I am so proud of you and you doing what it takes for you to be the best version of yourself.I am 48 and been clean for 8 years this October it gets better and better for real
big up bro keep it up
@@bryanhoffman7401 thank you, i can't lie sometimes i get survivors guilt. So many of my friends, including the girl i lost my virginity to all died from drugs. So i struggle with wondering why i'm still here. But all i can do is keep doing my best and being a good father and husband. I've also been getting back in touch with my religious beliefs and just trying to become a better person. Have a good one Bryan.
Everyone sees Danny as a reckless RUclipsr but he’s actually just as kind as any person his motivation is wild to put out content just to enlighten one’s day much love Danny🙏🏽
Love how he’s in touch with his emotions, most men would shrug it off. Mad props to Danny!!
This was amazing. Awesome job Jon ❤
I wish you did this so you won't be struggling and almost broke now
whats yur only fans? @@Ban00
The goat
ur a legend
Damn totally forgot about Andrew hales
I met Danny multiple times before he got famous, and a couple after. Always been the same guy, always been so kind & caring for the people around him too. Bro treated me like a friend every time I’ve ever interacted with him. I love seeing this dude succeed
One of my favorite interviews ever. I'm so used to seeing Danny being the guy he is in all his videos, so seeing him just sit down and chop it up is really cool. I've always known bits and pieces of his story, just from what he's shared throughout his videos, but gaining so much more insight into his entire story is incredible.
Growing up around similar situations, when i first started watching danny it reminded me of some kids i knew, and myself to some extent. 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. Never let someone make you feel bad about appreciating someone.
I’ve always wanted to hear Danny talk straight up. Loved watching this. Such a humble nice guy considering all his shenanigans! Loved this!
I love danny because you can literally see his path to success. It's all documented on his RUclips channel. People see all good, but don't take into account the struggle he faced, inspirational
This. He's really one of a kind
Facts
Really great interview Jon. Your questions really drew out Danny's story and you allowed him to tell it without talking over him (so many interviewers miss the mark here). You also made the interview fun. Like it was a chat with an old friend. Kudos!
Thank you! Tons of prep went into it but I have to give credit to Danny for being so candid and receptive. He really took the time to make this one special.
Your username is funny; I last had a drink • 4d ago
One of my favorite interviews, love the format and the sectioned video is a subtle clean touch
Dude… I’ve only watched a couple of his videos and I enjoyed them but easily forgotten… But after seeing this… I’m totally in now. I’m 43 and still feel like a kid wanting to just have fun and make people around me happy. My new mission in life is to binge watch Mr Duncan’s videos so I can join the family. Dude is a treasure to his community and all of us as a whole. An awesome interview and I’m stoked I watched it all as I’m now a fan. Thank you for doing it and posting!
🌍🌎🌏
Its so surreal seeing someone you went to school with turn into such a great success 😊 Awesome work Danny
Danny's story is beyond inspiring for me personally, as I am also an exercise science major, and aspiring physical therapist. But there is a part of me that has always wanted to be a content creator so I can have a platform that enables me to bring positivity into the world. I cannot think of a role model better suited for me than Danny Duncan himself.
Jon, this interview was incredible and you are so talented in so many ways. As Danny said, stay true to yourself. We love you for who you are. ❤
crazy how open he was with you about money. More youtubers need to be transparent like this and shine how much they are really making so that people like me who want to work in this space dont low ball themselves
Thanks so much for this Jon, Danny inspires me and you are so detailed and thorough in your interview, just subscribed, keep going!
you can tell that danny loves his mom infinitely... his main motivation was to give his mom/family a better life. and he gave her more than she ever could have imagined
How has he not gotten her a better house then yet?
@@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.
I hope you're trolling. Unless you have a huge family then wasting cash on a mansion is a terrible financial decision.
@@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
wow, loved every minute of this. feels good to finally hear about the behind scenes life of the man that’s kept me entertained on youtube all these years. you couldn’t have executed this any better, thank you.
This was honestly an amazing interview. I have an entirely differently level of respect for Danny Duncan now. Thanks to both of you.
The way Danny is so transparent is awesome.. most people are really hesitant to talk about money this was really awesome to see and interesting. You can tell he is very authentic!
Amazing video to watch. I was mostly moved by how Danny staying true to himself and how he continues to help his mom even though she didn't provide him with the best childhood. And of course loved watching u Jonathon doing another honest interview, where u made Danny feel very comfortable answering your questions. Very proud of you.. look forward to your next one.❤👏👏👏👏🤗
❤️❤️❤️
Jon is so good at his interviews. Great material and questions.
Man I love this dude! Just discovered him on this interview, super down to earth and relatable. I live in a trailer in the ghetto, so I really like his story.
This was an amazing first interview, thanks for the great content! This is my first video listening to both of you and loved it!
I always love Danny for his stance on not crossing lines with jokes. and how he stays true to himself it’s not a sellout.
I am so proud of you, i'll never forget sitting in McD w/ you and hearing all your plans for the future dude. I'll never stop being unmeasurably proud of you.
This is the first time I’ve seen any of your footage and I’ll definitely hit the subscribe button. Thanks for the edit brother. Cheers from Tennessee.
Just really started watching Danny. This was a fantastic interview man. Really just two guys kicking it talking bout success in what you love. Very cool
I love his transparency, it makes me motivated to get on my grind
I’m finishing the end of this interview, danny has made an incredible example of how you can get more from less. He’s such a humble person. Very amazing interview. So professional, yet entertaining and enjoyable.
Excellent interview. Nice to see the behind the scenes process of Danny’s work and his life.
It was awesome seeing this. I’ve had some similar things happen and to see that Danny and superstar went through something similar. It’s really opened my eyes. Thank you so much for opening up Danny, and thank you for these amazing questions Jon.

Thank you Gabriel! Yes put so much prep and research into this one 🙏
This whole interview was great. I subbed . Coming from someone trying to grow on RUclips this helped me. Thanks
Great interview! Thank you for showing a Danny that many have never seen before.
There was no way anyone with a good eye and mind couldnt recognize this young man's great character, integrity and big heart💯❤️🙏
He is so humble and low key about the things he do!
This is the first time a watched a podcast all the way through, great video!
Thanks BTD! 🙏
What a great interview brother, Danny is the most genuine dude on RUclips. Wish I knew him just seems like the coolest dude to hangout with
idk how but I just always found comfort in watching Danny just like in this vid. No matter what he's doing he's being real and that's rare nowdays. Much love to yall❤
Feel like a lot of people underestimate how damn clever Danny is, been a subscriber for years and watching your videos always brings a smile to my face. For sure you radiate good energy and it’s nice to see how true to yourself you’ve stayed amongst the money and fame. Godspeed Danny 👍🏻
Danny is one of the most funniest creators today. No one is doing it like him. I love hearing come up stories. Excellent interview…
Such a down to earth man and he is so humble for someone with the amount of following that he has
Danny is such an inspiring person, it would be an honor to meet him.
Danny is the best example of rags to riches in the best way possible. Great guy and super genuine
Wow! One of the best interviews on RUclips! Great job ! Danny’s a great kid! Serving others and staying true to himself! Excellent 👍💪😎🙏❤️
love this video. just subscribed would love to get the chance to fly out and meet you guys. Danny is such an inspiration!

Thanks Chase!! Appreciate you 🙏
I’ve watched him for about 3-5 years he’s helped me through a lot of things
Awesome to hear that
agreed.
Me too man, since I was a teen, always inspiring.
Dinner & desserts with Danny sounds spectacular. Very impressed with this interview. Danny gives so much inspiration🙌🏻
Just liked and subscribed! LOVED this interview! Thank you so much for sharing Danny & Jon. I truly enjoyed listening to Danny's story, it's so inspiring.
Danny’s a rich guy who uses his money to have fun and give back to his community. Love to see it.
Been waiting for this
It’s worth the wait 😉
Forreal me too, last video was so good
That's crazy how i personally don't watch long interviews, but this one really got me ❤
I just stumbled across Danny Duncan. What an amazing young man so funny, handsome, and genuine. May God bless you with continued success, and good health
seeing Danny cry is something I never thought I would see, I love how real he is and not the “boys don’t cry” type
The amount of valuable information this video has brought to me personally is unbelievable i love you both
Thank you! Appreciate you 🙏
Wow can’t believe your channel was never recommended to me, great interview and even greater creators. You’ve earned my subscription!
15 mins in this is great! Love the content included to explain the story!
So glad!
Everytime I’ve heard Danny tell his story it gives me chills. I’m going to buy my mom a house someday just like Danny man.
The best goal 🙏
Danny puts on the goofy fun guy persona but this dude is a genius.
GREAT PODCAST!!! man you killed it
I love this guy he asked all the right questions in a respectful way keep it up man super inspiring
Dinner and dessert? count me in man!
Danny’s like the only creator that makes good merch instead of just putting his own name or brand all over it which is why he he actually makes good money from it
when the merch is based around your videos, no one actually wants to wear them, when you treat it like a normal clothing brand, you make money
Subbed and hit the bell! been watching Danny since he started RUclips, and that dinner with you two would CHANGE MY LIFE
Love Danny and this video was made amazingly. Well put together! I’ve been watching danny since literally 2017! If I get to meet him for dinner that’ll definitely be a bucket list for me
