A Tour Of My Plants! (living and dead) - 22 June 2020

Holy serotonin boost! That video was everything I wanted and needed it to be.

Some unfunny commentary without timestamps because that's too much work:

- First things first, it seems Phil's hair has largely sorted itself out after the massacre. Good for him!
- I love how there's no real reason for Dan to be filming the intro since it could've just been done in Phil's normal corner with the tripod, but he was already there and he needs to earn his keep somehow so he might as well. And also it makes phannie hearts beat a little faster.
- Phil drinking out of that bucket got me laughing out loud for the first time in like a week. And I just love the way he looks up at Dan during that bit. Not the camera, but Dan. God, I've missed third wheeling with them like that.
- The merch is nice and very Phil, but not quite my thing. The cactus cushion is really cute and original though.
- Dis Bitch is needy drama queen. Dis Bitch is actually Dan as a plant.
- I had that magic bean thing but forgot about it after a few days oops.
- Norman's tank is technically a house plant. Sure, I guess.
- Aw look at the awards sitting next to crunchy bonzai. Good times.
- Phil says 'hot guy' first because he gay, but also mentions a girl because he's inclusive like that.
- That's a lot of booze. I think. I dunno what a normal amount of booze is.
- arse-sthethic
- Phil's cure for plant performance issues: stay hydrated (merch link in bio).
- Biscoff is for weak people who have never experienced the joy of putting actual Speculaas cookies on bread. Such is my Dutch opinion.
- I find it hard to believe anyone compliments that fake hallway plant of all things.
- Phil trash talking the Jurassic Park plant had me rolling.
- They're just gonna move when the last bathroom light breaks aren't they? Gas Leak and Storage Room 2.0
- Confetti cannons literally get everywhere. I set off a bunch of of those with my friends once and for the following 3 years we would regularly find bits of confetti behind, between and under literally everything in the living room. I'm impressed that it's just one bit of confetti there.
- Ah, my favorite empty fridge. Now with less plant in front of it than when they were still trying to fool us.
- That peace lily is a monster holy shit.
- The Mario plants lmao. Sure that counts I guess.
- Oh to be a plant that has been with DnP since they moved to London. The things it must have seen.
- What's with all the jokes about the plants having performance issues? I bet they tell each other these jokes all the time and just giggle uncontrollably like the goofs they are.
- The maple is my fave she's gorgeous.
- A fish, a squirrel, a pigeon? DnP are the gay Disney Princes we always wanted them to be.
- Hello there Dan's foot awkwardly shuffling out of frame! That's joint content right there.
- I love Steve. I've grown attached. What a chill bird.
- Dan is not human confirmed.

So that was Let's Talk About Houseplants!: The Movie and it was *chefs kiss* perfect. I'm gonna rewatch it another 5 times now.

timestamps but specifically just for stuff in their flat and me commenting on it.

:01 - The long storage/bench/shelf thing seems to hold Norman and his various foods and other essential fishie things, the big painting (was that a Bryony one too?), the oil slick candle, and a terrerium.
1:48 - This Bitch. The needy plant, located beside Norman's domain.
2:19 - Magic Bean that grew out of a can and maybe is dead.
2:29 - Highlight of the video: Norman shot. Grassy boys. Mossy boys.
2:37 - Bonsai! On top of the games shelf, along with their awards collection. Boncas, a Radio 1 one, the golden headphones.
2:47 - Tiny Terrerium #1, the Quiet Hot Guy/Girl. This seems to be sitting on a floofy cushion and I'm guessing that's not where it lives, so they probably moved it for the shot.
3:00 - Terrierum Big Lad. Looks like an angry hand. Good shot of some of their board games.
3:09 - The partier plant, surrounded by the booze.
3:22 - Beast. Zee plant. Zee Zee plant. Zed plant. It's got Zeds in it. A monster. Coffee book on the table beside Phil.
3:48 - Golden Pig. (is not a plant)
3:51 - Arse-thetic dead plant corner - located on top of a shelf by a window. Terrerium full of crispy boys and also a parrot, a bonsai that Phil has a lot of hostility towards, the burned out birthday candle that made Dan cry, another candle (with the most basic candle packaging but can anyone identify it?)
4:11 - Crotch blooming flower with some performance anxiety. Sat near one of their endless windows and the chair. (Chair is by the tv? I see something that gives a time readout - this bit was filmed at 5:49 pm - and also what looks like a gaming console.)
4:35 - Lotus crunchy biscoff spread and bagels. You can't see Phil in this shot which makes me wonder if he realized he was like 20 seconds under the ten minute mark and looked around for something to film. Warburton's brand bagels, if you're curious.
4:41 - The under stair plant. Cool shelving under their stairs - there's another candle in the cube beside the fake plant.
4:53 - Fake tree thing in the hallway. Bad lighting there, very yellow. It's such a stark difference from the abundant natural light of the upstairs.
5:04 - Dilophosaurus plant. Too eager, Phil doesn't like it. He films this bit by the stairs but doesn't show us where it normally sits.
5:20 - Darkened bathroom succulent. Lights are broken and he can't be bothered to sort it out. Is this the office bathroom? I think this is the office bathroom.
5:45 - The office! Aka where Phil did his liveshows. Red chair. Dan's D. Plus a bottle of something... that looks familiar but I can't remember what it is? Classy lady plant that Phil forgets about and is covered in a layer of dust.
6:16 - We've relocated! Filming flat fridge magnet cacti. Wombat and parakeet still fucking. Someone tell them take a break. Maybe encourage hydration.
6:28 - Peace lilly. Jesus of plants. He's had it since 2014. Also the table and chairs colored from the old flat.
7:02 - Pirahna plant flowers! Cute.
7:09 - Phil's filming area. Yodeling pickle; not a plant. Cactus; not a real plant. Crotch unobstructed shot of Phil in shorts with his legs spread, for anyone interested in that. Old faithful plant - he's had it since they came to London. Plant is DIRECTLY against the wall in the corner of the room.
7:45 - Balcony plants; Japanese acer, Phil is very proud of it. Second acer that's trying but not succeeding.
8:16 - A squirrel laid (buried) an acorn and is growing an acorn (oak) tree, which live for a thousand years.
8:45 - Strong buddy Greg that is also an insect sanctuary.
9:05 - Phil doesn't know what's going on with this plant.
9:07 - The secondary highlight of the video, Steve the Pigeon. You can kinda see a shot of their balcony lounging area here.
9:28 - Dan's toe.
