How Andrew Hales Changed Danny Duncan’s Career (LAHWF Interview)

Рет қаралды 95,648

Күн бұрын

In this episode, we interview one of the OG KZfaqrs who helped shape Danny’s career. Andrew started out doing prank videos for years but has since transitioned into more of an interview style with his “Chatting with” and “People on” series while still doing the occasional prank or social experiments. We talk about the highs and lows of Andrew’s career and how he has gone about dealing with the mental health associated with that.
