Danny Richardson

===Background===
Danny Richardson was the first co-host of The Whole Fucking Show. He originally was only a listener to Kevin Scampoli's previous work. They developed a relationship, and then built what is known and loved today. During his time as co-host Danny was known as the more easygoing of the two. Their two on air personalities balanced eachother out. Together, they were able to produce 144 episodes.
===Departure===
Danny Richardson announced his leaving on episode 146 of TWFS, titled "Goodbye Danny Richardson ". In it, Danny explained why he no longer wanted to co-host TWFS. His reasons were essentially that TWFS was becoming a "Job", and it wasn't fun for him anymore. From this episode came the in/famous quote "I got too close to the sun". Danny decided to move on with his own podcast called "My Black Friend " In the episode, Kevin and Danny were on good terms, but sometime in between episode 146 and 147, it all fell apart.
===The Aftermath===
On episode 147 titled "Lame-o ", Kevin berated MBF and Danny himself. Kevin gave a pissed off response to the entire situation, and his point of view on everything. After whatever happened behind the scenes, the two do not associate with eachother. After Danny left, Vleeties took the position of co-host, and TWFS took off. Danny went off to create his own project, and Kevin's product achieved new heights in success. 
=== Legacy ===
Danny was named as the first member of the TWFS hall of fame. Following his departure Danny was looked at as a figure of ridicule and used as a punching bag during future discussions. While The Danny Era is one that will not be forgotten, the audience was able to move on and continue enjoyment of the discussion without his presence.
