Fawdz

Daniel "Dan" Peifer (born ), better known online as Fawdz or Yeahdudehaha, is an American YouTube musician, gamer, and vlogger. 
He is most known for his popular Minecraft videos with his co-host and friend, Tony (also known as SkitScape). They usually played Minecraft but they also played other games such as Grand Theft Auto IV, Draw My Thing, and Chivalry. He also played many games solo, such as Façade, Limbo, and Happy Wheels, just to name a few.
He grew up in Fox River Grove, Illinois and quickly gained an interest in video games, specifically RuneScape. In a moment of realization and existential crisis about playing too many video games, he became motivated to teach himself how to play the piano and thus self-improve at something. His name "Fawdz" comes from multiple corruptions of the word "food" amid the filming of a RuneScape video with SkitScape. They together proved to become a celebrated set of let's players.
A list of his videos, series and Let's Plays includes:
* Balloono

Fawdz moved to Schaumburg, Illinois to live with Skitscape in 2013. During Dan's break starting later that year, he moved to Fort Collins, Colorado to study plants and linguistics at college.
Wanting to return to YouTube, he assumed the name "Yeahdudehaha" and started a new channel, though simultaneously keeping his older channel stocked with vlog updates to keep his loyal fans from thinking that he died. This new channel was conceived in an attempt to more cleanly break from Machinima and start fresh. On this Yeahdudehaha channel, Dan and his friend Paul ran the Fawdcast; a podcast where they talked about music recommendations, world news, and fan questions. After ceasing production of this podcast in 2018, Fawdz took another break.
In this time, Fawdz had an occupation driving a box truck that delivered medical supplies to hospitals. He enjoyed this job as he could listen to many podcasts in peace.
Starting in late 2020, Dan now mainly streams to Twitch on a roughly daily basis. His streams usually last over an hour and are in the same great style of content that he's always made. They feature general chatting, original music, synthesizers, and of course a lot of gaming.
Remaining in Colorado, he now lives with his girlfriend and makes a living by flipping synthesizers on the market and livestreaming. His "Yeahdudehaha" channel was renamed to "fawdcast" to suit its repurpose as a channel for Twitch VODs.
Since the start of his streaming, he has taken an big interest in Soulslike games and some first person shooters.
