"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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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 RU-vid because it's probably a case of not enough people listening when the podcasts were put out there months ago.
"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
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!
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

Fucking Childish Gambino put NinjaSexParty on the map? God fucking damnit. That's too good. Two of my favorite things just somehow got mingled. God fucking damnit.
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.
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.
This reminds me of when I loved tigers as a kid, and everyone thought it was cute, but I still love them in my late teens, so now everyone thinks I'm a furry
My earliest memory was when i was like 3 or 4, i was in one of those big play castle things that are at some mcdonalds, and i got lost in it, and i had to take a shit really bad so i shat on the floor and told no one
I wanna cry. Hey, if anyone sees this shout in the dark, I wanna know I'm not the only one who hardcore relates to Dan's early years struggles. I know this video is a year old, but screw it.
The Real Recording: "Will you call the fanbase slurs?" "...no" "Will you occasionally make slurs we have to bleep out?" "...uh" "Will you constantly demand editing gags?" "I don't even know what that means" "Do you make jokes about Jews?" "I am Jewish" "That solves everything wrong about the last guy! You're hired!"
johnny bravo i noticed it sinced the start. But he just wants to be involved hahahahah by the time i finished writing this comment (about 1 minute) he said every single one of those about 10 times
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.
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
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.
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 RU-vid just get really real and genuine with their friends and their audience.
Ah i love this podcast. Ill never forget the night i was listening to this on a long drive and got so interested in what you guys were talking about i didn’t realize i was going 89 in a 55 and got a hefty speeding ticket.
my first memory is being in the bathtub with my baby brother and he took a shit in the water. It came out of the surface like a fucking shark and I screamed and fell out of the tub onto my face.
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.
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.
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 RU-vid for gaming and singing, but I'm scared people won't like my songs, and I'm only 13
@@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 RU-vid, 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.
@@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
I am legit inspired from Dan's story... I've been wanting to do music since I was a baby, but for the same reasons I ended up in engineering. The fact that he finished his career and then pursued music gives me so much hope. Dan you're great bro, thx
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.
+Luke Dobson maybe he thought he was younger. Dan does NOT look 37. He looks 29. At least to me xD Men also don't usually have a voice like Dan does when they're in their late 30's lol.
I've never heard of anyone who understands what I call my "obsessive episodes" Like when I find something interesting, that's all I care about and I research it and I draw and write and it's just the main subject of my life
Thats what I do with RU-vidrs, like right now with the grumps they're everywhere in my life and I just keep a collection of people I look up to as I get into them.
