Dan & Phil Part 48: Exposing themselves via fidget spinner

[Awesomesauceness]

Heya!

This is kind of my first post here, so I'm quite nervous, but I've been reading IDB for quite a while and thought I'd delurk a bit to post? You guys really are the best! All of these discussions have been so intriguing and I've loved hearing about everyone's opinions on Dan and Phil! (*´꒳`*) The polite discussion and civil disagreement is so nice to read, and I end up learning a lot from the discourse. I've learned a lot about things like the importance of privacy, feminism, politics, gender and sexuality and other miscellaneous things about society that I honestly did not have exposure to before IDB, so that was really cool. So I owe it to IDB that I've now decided to educate myself on these things and stop spending my time playing video games and looking at memes. (〃ω〃) So I guess I've got you guys to thank for helping me become a more mature person? In fact, IDB actually makes my day sometimes and I've really started to look forwards to seeing what you guys have to say.
♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

Needless to say, IDB has made me a hardcore fan of Dan and Phil, and IDB as well? To be honest, I'm so glad I found this place because Reddit can be hard to read sometimes. Not that reddit is bad or anything! Things get quite aggressive there sometimes haha. m(._.)m

Also, about Dan's video (I know it was a few pages ago and I'm so late, but I wanna chime in anyway), I quite liked it! Not my favourite, but definitely appreciated something other than his usual stuff. I'm excited about the rebrand! ٩( 'ω' )و I didn't like the pacing and structure of it though, as some of you guys mentioned from before, and the scripting reminded me especially of my first long English research essay this past term (those ten pages killed me) which earned a C. *and also earned my English teacher telling me I'd probably never get a 5 on the EngLit AP so...* Therefore, my reason for disliking it may simply be placed on bad school memories ( YES summer!).

Anyway, sorry about the super long post! I don't even know what I was saying really, (=´∀｀) but I hope you have an awesome day and everything!

Edit: Oh no, this is on the top of the page? Ah, sorry you guys have to see this!

Hello everyone, new one here too! Like a lot of people, I've been lurking for a few weeks now and I'm finally ready to get involved in your madness ahah!
So prepare for the unnecessary long post with a poor level in English (it saddens me to say that although I understand almost everything in English (books, movies, etc), I still struggle to speak fluently and make terrible mistakes ).

So, I was a huge fan of D&P from 2012 to 2014 until I stopped watching them regularly (I was entering university and stepped back a bit from youtube). I don't know how I ended up getting back to it (about 3 months ago) but now I'm deep, deep in it. I discovered the gaming channel + TATINOF + TABINOF + DAGO... lots of material from the last two years!
I also just found out about all the shipping and phandom. You could say I was just a casual fan before. So I don't know yet how I feel about them being in a relationship but I love reading the conspiracies and theories about it!

I'm so glad I found this forum because it's soooo calm and articulate and respectful and nice. I've never been a fangirl/twitter/tumblr kind of girl (not that there is anything wrong with any of those things, it's just not my style), so I'm really glad to be able to follow people with a similar interest in a very respectful and calm manner.

I'm just quickly gonna sum up my thoughts on a few subjects that were discussed recently.
- About collabs: I love Tyler and Louise collabs (like almost everybody it seems).
- About the gaming channel: since I just found out about it, I had some fun watching a lot of the videos, mostly the recent ones. I LOVED the Undertale series and I find the Sims very relaxing. I haven't dig in the earlier stuff yet (2014-2015).
- About Phil's video: I found it very funny, I loved how Phil reacted to it and dealt with the spon. Even though it was a very random spon for AmazingPhil imo.
- About Dan's video: I really liked it, but I totally understand all the reactions around it. But I've never really been into memes or reddit myself (I used to go on 9GAG a lot a few years ago but I stopped when I realized how sexist it was). I'm really looking forward to see how he deals with the rebrand!

I have a few pointless remarks while it's calm inhere:
I have no idea if it has already been discussed in the forum before because I wasn't here when it came out, but I listened to the audiobook of TATINOF last week and I spotted some minor differences with the book itself. Some differences were logic, like to make it more fluid while talking, but there are two that I found a bit weird:
- At one point, but I can't remember the page I'm sorry, Phil changes “while my mum was cleaning up the mess” to “while my mum was asking me to clean up the mess”, or something along those lines. It's funny he changed it but I like the fact that he did. What do you think?
- In “the Urge”, Dan changes “the bed” to “his bed”. Like it's Dan's bed you know, leaving no confusion about it. Cute.

Off topic but I want to address all my thoughts to everyone in London and England. I'm am truly horrified to hear that there has been another attack last night, and even more horrified to see how the medias are treating the killer (as if he's not a terrorist).
I wish you all a lot of courage and have faith that you will be able to stay strong and love each other. Please don't let all these terrible terrible things tear you apart.
I know for a fact that terrorism can mess up a country. In France it's fucked up at the moment, even though it doesn't look like it. I'm hugely displeased by politics in my country because it's all about hate and exclusion. We have some new laws that are incredibly unfair and I believe people didn't protest because the government tells them these laws are here to protect them, and a lot of people fear another attack (there are also a lot of racism and Islamophobia going on of course).
Well sorry for my rants about politics but I'm quite invested in it haha! Also there were some elections yesterday so it's still fresh (26% of turn-up among 18-24yo...)
Anyway, love and courage to you all.

Sorry for a totally pointless/offtopic unnecessarily long post! Hope you're all having a good day right now.

Welcome new folks Awesomesauceness and Hal

Thank you for such interesting first posts! If I wasn't being naughty and doing this while at work, I'd respond properly but I'm sure others will be along soon

[Awesomesauceness]

Heya!

Thanks DatCog for the welcome! And welcome, Hal! Here's to happy times of delurkment. (๑>◡<๑)

I totally forgot to mention collabs! My favourites are always Dan's collabs with Tyler, never fail to make me laugh. I really like Dan's collabs with Phil too, the two make some great stuff together. ♪( ´▽｀)

I'm putting some stuff under spoilers because it's long and pointless. And frankly, I shouldn't be criticising Dan's concision in his videos because my writing has more all-over-the-place-ness than his. (≧∀≦)

Yeah, I get where you're coming from Hal. The world honestly feels quite screwed up, but doesn't it always? Things are quite uncomfortable in both America and Hong Kong, because trump and despite taiwan's legalisation of gay marriage not much has changed. It kinda sucks that in one place I'm being shouted at on the streets to go back to Asia, and in another place I'm being pressured to get into a prestigious college, study finance/law and marry a rich man. Frankly, quite done with both and I seriously miss my peaceful childhood spent in good old Canada. I'm probably biased though, and am just complaining about irrelevant things from the perspective of my privileged life.

The London/Manchester attacks were terrible, and it's so nice of Dan and Phil to help out through charity! London was especially hard for me, since I have family there and I still worry even though they're all ok.

Also, anyone here sad that Dan tossed the maltesers in his rebranding? I feel like no one can understand my love for them anymore (and my despair at their absence in America and NO, whoppers just aren't the same).

Hola new people! Always cool to have people join in here

I'm wondering when the next gaming vid will be out. Phil said they haven't filmed the Sims yet yesterday, so my bet is some filming today? They'll have to film a lot of vids over the next few weeks to post vids whilst they're at vidcon.

Are there any games y'all want them to play in particular (in case they're lurking). I'm always up for more story-based games (or The Stanley Parable, it's hilarious and meta - I have a feeling they'd love it).

Just so you know, as of January, they sell Maltesers in the US! So far I've stumbled across them in BJs, Walmart, and Walgreens.

Welcome Awesomesauceness and Hal!

I'm excited about the rebrand! ٩( 'ω' )و I didn't like the pacing and structure of it though, as some of you guys mentioned from before, and the scripting reminded me especially of my first long English research essay this past term (those ten pages killed me) which earned a C.

Honestly I think the bolded line is exactly what I want Dan to take from the feedback to this style of video; obviously it's never going to happen that everyone feels the same way but this is the most consistent response I'm seeing. People support the change of direction, just not how Dan executed it this time.

- At one point, but I can't remember the page I'm sorry, Phil changes “while my mum was cleaning up the mess” to “while my mum was asking me to clean up the mess”, or something along those lines. It's funny he changed it but I like the fact that he did. What do you think?
- In “the Urge”, Dan changes “the bed” to “his bed”. Like it's Dan's bed you know, leaving no confusion about it. Cute.

Omg, good catches! I've listened to the audiobook two or three times through but I've only read the actual book once so I totally missed those. That's hilarious - especially the Dan/bed one. I do remember grinning a bit at it being 'the bed' when I read the story the first time around.

Welcome Awesomesauceness and Hal!

I saw what happened to the girl in Virginia and to the mosque in London. What the hell is wrong with people? I'm sorry to anyone here who might be a Muslim and have to deal with people like this.

They are also available at Target. We bought a bucket, loved them and want more. (I've never liked Whoppers). Good to know about Walgreens, there weren't any at our local CVS. I understand putting that stuff behind him, but I am sad he wasn't part of for the ad campaign for the US. When a shortened version of this popped up as an ad on YouTube I was bitter.



Cat whiskers background much?

(The kiddo wants to try the white ones but it's looks like their discontinued. I can't even imagine.)

[lishachi]

First of all to Hal and Awesomesauceness! Hope you have a good time here.

Second, has anyone else got their Manchester t-shirt from the dan and phil shop? Mine came today in a really obscure package and had no label/receipt from IRL Digital or anything about the shop at all. I was so confused when it arrived (Also I got a large and it's super super big, like...a tent. I'm wearing it to bed so it's fine, but it's more like XL than L haha)

Phil's liveshow was cute, love how he asks why people want him to 'clean them' but laughs every time a 'dad' or 'daddy' mention comes up. Mhm. I see you Phil. (It could also be due to embarrassment but I'm amusing myself thinking it's otherwise.)

Last sims vid was a bit boring but I love that Dil is pregnant. Like fuck, that's an extra human they need to look after now, they'll have to extend the house, make it a room, all while keeping the other 3 alive. I pray for them, but also pray they can't handle it, because I apparently want to see them angry/frustrated. For once.

[confusedpanda]

Loving how many responses to this are "but you have air conditioning in the new flat" and honestly, that was my first thought too. It seems like we're not realizing he's probably somewhere outside.

[Hal]

Thanks for all the welcomes!

Yeah, I get where you're coming from Hal. The world honestly feels quite screwed up, but doesn't it always? Things are quite uncomfortable in both America and Hong Kong, because trump and despite taiwan's legalisation of gay marriage not much has changed. It kinda sucks that in one place I'm being shouted at on the streets to go back to Asia, and in another place I'm being pressured to get into a prestigious college, study finance/law and marry a rich man.

The London/Manchester attacks were terrible, and it's so nice of Dan and Phil to help out through charity! London was especially hard for me, since I have family there and I still worry even though they're all ok.

You're probably right about the fact that the world has always been kind of screwed up, it's just that I'm becoming more and more aware of it as I get older and I read and discuss about politic and social issues. Since I can't deny that I'm privileged (being white, straight and having a supportive family who has enough money to pay for my education), I'm just starting to be aware of all the inequalities and injustices of this world (even though I know I'm still way too western-Europe centered). And it makes me sick!
I was also referring to the reactions after terrorist attacks, as we've had quite a few in France since 2015. And I really hope that the (new) UK government doesn't make the same mistakes as the French one did back then. Because we are still suffering from these bad political decisions and it has devised the country even more than before.
I think yesterday's legislative elections (to elect the members of the National Assembly, almost like in Britain a few weeks ago) is a good example of how the people are sick of politics right now: 57% of the population didn't vote yesterday! It's a record in French history and even old folks are starting to get sick of it. That's why UK elections made me so so happy: seeing young people turning up to vote and having left-wing ideas being represented rejoiced me more than you can imagine!

It must be hard having to deal with what you're talking about, I hope you're managing it okay!!
And you're right, shout out to D&P for raising money for charity!

I saw what happened to the girl in Virginia and to the mosque in London. What the hell is wrong with people? I'm sorry to anyone here who might be a Muslim and have to deal with people like this.

This sickens me so much. I'm horrified by how Islamophobia is starting to be normalized and even institutionalized in many countries. I mean have you heard how some big medias and politics talk about Islam sometimes, if not all the time?

I'm wondering when the next gaming vid will be out. Phil said they haven't filmed the Sims yet yesterday, so my bet is some filming today? They'll have to film a lot of vids over the next few weeks to post vids whilst they're at vidcon.

I have no idea about what game they could play since I'm more of a casual gamer myself. But I agree with the story-based games, I like watching there reaction when they discover a story, and discovering it with them (as with Undertale).

Sorry to ask because it may be written somewhere and I haven't seen it: is there usually a particular schedule to DAPG uploading? Like one or two a week on a specific day? Or is it just a surprise everytime?

Also, anyone here sad that Dan tossed the maltesers in his rebranding? I feel like no one can understand my love for them anymore (and my despair at their absence in America and NO, whoppers just aren't the same).

I Maltesers so much. I didn't know you didn't have them in the US, how did you survive before?! I guess we're lucky to have them in France then, though they're quite expensive.

If you have access to a sewing machine it's actually really easy to alter the shirt to fit you! I've done it to a few of mine and I am truely no expert on tailoring - just look up youtube tutorials if you wanna tackle it.[/offtopic]

I got notice that mine shipped on Friday, but it's coming over seas. I was worried I ordered a size too large and now I'm really worried. Oh well, I intended it for curling up on the couch.

Loving how many responses to this are "but you have air conditioning in the new flat" and honestly, that was my first thought too. It seems like we're not realizing he's probably somewhere outside.

Dan and Phil go outside? No, you must be confused. In all seriousness I hope some coolness and rain makes its way to England. It was unbearable here for a few days, but yesterday was pleasant with scattered thunderstorms.

Basically a surprise every time! But when they were away in Australia and Singapore they uploaded a vid every time there should have been a liveshow, so I'm thinking they might stick to that pattern when they leave for 'Murica.

I adored Undertale, I already knew about it because my friend liked it and I had to buy her a lil Sans thing for her birthday in addition to some arty stuff, but seriously that game was amazing imo. I actually waited for dnp to finish it (an entire year ffs) whilst I could've watched another letsplay sigh. Despite that, I think because they're posting more frequently they could do a series without it lasting a YEAR

Malteasers are p good, I always eat the chocolate from around the outside then suck on the centre. I've never tried whoppers, are they really not good? Are there any American sweets y'all would rec?

Also PLEASE can some cooler weather come. I went prom dress shopping today and passed out 3 times in Debenhams, ended up bashing my head on a lil shelf and the first aid had to help me whilst I was just in my bra and underwear... incredibly embarassing

[flarequake]

Welcome Hal and Awesomesauceness! It keeps amazing me there are so many more people joining, phandom is eternal

Poor Dan, this heat is pretty awful. I barely got a thing done before 7pm yesterday, but today with a fan going it's been a lot better, it's slightly cooler I think. I don't suppose Dan ever found a good way to keep cool beyond the air conditioning, all the icecubes down the pants didn't really help.

[adequate duck]

Hello everyone, new one here too! Like a lot of people, I've been lurking for a few weeks now and I'm finally ready to get involved in your madness ahah!
So prepare for the unnecessary long post with a poor level in English (it saddens me to say that although I understand almost everything in English (books, movies, etc), I still struggle to speak fluently and make terrible mistakes ).

welcome! (and to Awesomesauceness too!).

there are so many idb-ers that have english as a second (or third or subsequent) language so you are in good company here. as a mono-lingual english speaker i'm delighted and grateful that so many people push out of their comfort zone to come talk about tweedle-dum and tweedle-dork with us, and i think i speak for the majority (if not all) of the native speakers when i say we would rather hear what you have to say than not.

ps. besides your english is really good, don't worry. your post was better articulated than many things i've seen on the internet written by native speakers.

Phil liveshow timestamps

:26 - Hottest day of the year.
:39 - People calling him dad is very disturbing but he hopes people got him loads of snacks because he is very hungry.
1:09 - Emphasizes that he is doing his younow on his bed from his bedroom look at his bed frame btw it's his bedroom.
1:31 - Aircon is strongest in the bedroom - if his options downstairs were his bedroom/lounge/gaming room then I wonder if that means we get sweaty mess gaming videos?
1:54 - Hard to sleep with the aircon on, he uses ear plugs.
2:11 - He was very tempted to get delivery ice cream, but the seven pounds for delivery ice cream was a dealbreaker. "That's peak laziness, that is." says the guy who had pancakes delivered on pancake day.
3:03 - He went outside today.
3:09 - Facetimed his father. Got him a tasting selection of jams and marmalades. Also wanted it for himself; had one with whiskey and one with champagne. Hacksaw Ridge and Nocturnal (?).
3:57 - Went to see his family for a big family thing. Saw some of his dad's cousins and they looked just like him. He has a huge family and he hasn't met a lot of them.
4:42 - Family tree journey; mum's father had nine brothers and a sister. Hasn't met any of those great uncles, some kind of family drama and they all moved to Australia except his granddad. He has a lot of Australian relatives. All over 6'2" - in case you didn't know, he's pretty tall. He's 6'2" or 6'3" - isn't sure which one.
5:43 - Onslaught of creepy crawlies.
5:56 - Centipede story; heard a scuttling sound while he was laying in bed and there was a centipede swimming along his floor. Dan came in like "what the hell are you talking about, what's wrong with you?"
6:39 - Forced Dan to watch for the centipede while he went and got a glass. "Dan's not a fan of those creepy crawlies either."
7:10 - You should never google anything. (He googled the centipede.)
7:52 - Moment of Bear Grylls style bravery, he trapped the centipede.
8:11 - Had to finish the maneuver of putting cardboard under the glass.
8:53 - Dan abandoned Phil to deal with the centipede. Launched it out of the window.
9:36 - Phil is now an obsessive centipede checker.
10:06 - His room is a work in progress. Careful camera work not to show more of his room. One painting above his bed, one over the dresser.

11:16 - He and Dan are the only people who like the paintings of tigers (cats).
12:08 - Likes his vase of sticks. The sticks cost him four pounds.
12:25 - Going to change up his set decor every time he makes a video.

13:29 - Movies with his family: Sully. Don't watch it on a plane, don't show it to anyone who has been in a plane incident.
14:05 - Martyn's plane incident. Curious... Martyn's not a fan of planes anymore.
14:35 - Excited for Louise being pregnant. Unexpected but exciting. He told her Phil was a strong name; it could be a little Phil or a Philippa. Or a boy called Philippa.
15:06 - Chat: "Or Daniel." Phil: "NO."
15:25 - Dil is pregnant with an alien baby. It makes Phil want to rip his own face off; doesn't know how he's going to handle two children. Dab was such a handful, how will they handle two?
16:08 - Phil pondering the technicalities of Dil giving birth.
16:19 - Thinks you have to look at something before you name it. His dad wasn't named for two weeks after he was born.
16:38 - The baby coming out of his mouth doesn't sound pleasant but is better than the alternative. No assbabies for Phil.
16:56 - Dan's birthday. Phil had the fidget spinner - was he just playing with it the whole time?
17:17 - "It was no two pound friend present. It was like six pounds. That's how much Dan is worth."
17:33 - He made Dan watch him balance it on his nose. Omg that's adorable.
18:02 - Full twenty four hours of eye pain.

24:20 - Admires his own eyes. Same, Phil. Same.

25:26 - Ate fish and chips with his family.

27:57 - Fish out of water scenes are great, stuff in the island is great, characters/actors are great. He might go see it again.
28:30 - Chris Pine is distracting when you're watching the film, when he's radiating out of his face. How do you achieve that face.
29:01 - When he finds coins on the floor, the date is always 1997. He is being stalked by the year 1997. Illuminati conspiracy. The start of his story. It will be a series. And a movie.
29:45 - They meant weight not money. "Okay. Never mind."
30:43 - Boy puppy baby names.
31:13 - He likes human names for animals.
32:00 - Beauty tips with Phil.
33:01 - Phil dancing to the beauty music.
33:14 - Beauty tip #1 - change your face wash every three or four months, because your skin gets used to them.
33:41 - His face currently smells of tree sap.
33:53 - He does some yoga - downward dog. Total eclipse. Bat. He made those up. But downward dog is a thing. (Yeah I bet it is. Bet you and Dan are big fans of that one.)
34:10 - Next tip: don't spray hairspray directly into your mouth and probably isn't good for your health.
34:19 - Another dance break.
34:30 - Next tip: Drink lots of water.

40:24 - Three worst animals: centipedes, mosquitoes, wasps.
40:55 - "I like doing it on my bed as well. Maybe I'll do more liveshows from this room. Who knows."
42:42 - Promoting Dan; Memeing of Life made Phil chuckle.

Hello everyone, new one here too! Like a lot of people, I've been lurking for a few weeks now and I'm finally ready to get involved in your madness ahah!
So prepare for the unnecessary long post with a poor level in English (it saddens me to say that although I understand almost everything in English (books, movies, etc), I still struggle to speak fluently and make terrible mistakes ).

welcome! (and to Awesomesauceness too!).

there are so many idb-ers that have english as a second (or third or subsequent) language so you are in good company here. as a mono-lingual english speaker i'm delighted and grateful that so many people push out of their comfort zone to come talk about tweedle-dum and tweedle-dork with us, and i think i speak for the majority (if not all) of the native speakers when i say we would rather hear what you have to say than not.

ps. besides your english is really good, don't worry. your post was better articulated than many things i've seen on the internet written by native speakers.

Thank you, that is way too nice!


On other note, in his latest Last Week, Tomska talks about Rejects 2! (starts at 15:05)
It's really interesting because it points out of few "behind the scene" stuff, like how brand deals work and how D&P were (not) involved in the process. Would love to see Reject 2 or another sketch with Dan be done one day, because I love TomSka's humour so much!

Though he doesn't come out and say it, this actually does make me wonder if Tinder rejected it on grounds that it was too m/m focused. I mean, a Dancest orgy seems pretty specifically humor based, but if it was Phil that Dan was meant to be going on the date with... or even if that was open ended and just an implication...

Has Tinder done any promo like this with any lgbtq youtubers?

I highly doubt the script would've been rejected because of homosexual content... I don't think homophobia or heteronormatovity are part of tinder "values" (I've never used it, but I believe you can choose what gender you're attracted to). It has most likely been rejected because of borderline jokes or a too sexual content as other have said before.

However you make a very good point asking that question because I can't think of a single LGBTQ+ youtuber who has done this spon, and there has been a lot lately. Maybe they were contacted but weren't interested?

Phil liveshow timestamps

:26 - Hottest day of the year.
:39 - People calling him dad is very disturbing but he hopes people got him loads of snacks because he is very hungry.
1:09 - Emphasizes that he is doing his younow on his bed from his bedroom look at his bed frame btw it's his bedroom.
1:31 - Aircon is strongest in the bedroom - if his options downstairs were his bedroom/lounge/gaming room then I wonder if that means we get sweaty mess gaming videos?
1:54 - Hard to sleep with the aircon on, he uses ear plugs.
2:11 - He was very tempted to get delivery ice cream, but the seven pounds for delivery ice cream was a dealbreaker. "That's peak laziness, that is." says the guy who had pancakes delivered on pancake day.
3:03 - He went outside today.
3:09 - Facetimed his father. Got him a tasting selection of jams and marmalades. Also wanted it for himself; had one with whiskey and one with champagne. Hacksaw Ridge and Nocturnal (?).
3:57 - Went to see his family for a big family thing. Saw some of his dad's cousins and they looked just like him. He has a huge family and he hasn't met a lot of them.
4:42 - Family tree journey; mum's father had nine brothers and a sister. Hasn't met any of those great uncles, some kind of family drama and they all moved to Australia except his granddad. He has a lot of Australian relatives. All over 6'2" - in case you didn't know, he's pretty tall. He's 6'2" or 6'3" - isn't sure which one.
5:43 - Onslaught of creepy crawlies.
5:56 - Centipede story; heard a scuttling sound while he was laying in bed and there was a centipede swimming along his floor. Dan came in like "what the hell are you talking about, what's wrong with you?"
6:39 - Forced Dan to watch for the centipede while he went and got a glass. "Dan's not a fan of those creepy crawlies either."
7:10 - You should never google anything. (He googled the centipede.)
7:52 - Moment of Bear Grylls style bravery, he trapped the centipede.
8:11 - Had to finish the maneuver of putting cardboard under the glass.
8:53 - Dan abandoned Phil to deal with the centipede. Launched it out of the window.
9:36 - Phil is now an obsessive centipede checker.
10:06 - His room is a work in progress. Careful camera work not to show more of his room. One painting above his bed, one over the dresser.
10:55 - Thinks the dresser was too cluttered. He kept the furniture of the people who lived there before.
11:16 - He and Dan are the only people who like the paintings of tigers (cats).
12:08 - Likes his vase of sticks. The sticks cost him four pounds.
12:25 - Going to change up his set decor every time he makes a video.
12:44 - Chased for seven minutes by a wasp at the family thing.
12:57 - Bees are happy to pollinate flowers. Wasps are out of destroy everything.
13:29 - Movies with his family: Sully. Don't watch it on a plane, don't show it to anyone who has been in a plane incident.
14:05 - Martyn's plane incident. Curious... Martyn's not a fan of planes anymore.
14:35 - Excited for Louise being pregnant. Unexpected but exciting. He told her Phil was a strong name; it could be a little Phil or a Philippa. Or a boy called Philippa.
15:06 - Chat: "Or Daniel." Phil: "NO."
15:25 - Dil is pregnant with an alien baby. It makes Phil want to rip his own face off; doesn't know how he's going to handle two children. Dab was such a handful, how will they handle two?
16:08 - Phil pondering the technicalities of Dil giving birth.
16:19 - Thinks you have to look at something before you name it. His dad wasn't named for two weeks after he was born.
16:38 - The baby coming out of his mouth doesn't sound pleasant but is better than the alternative. No assbabies for Phil.
16:56 - Dan's birthday. Phil had the fidget spinner - was he just playing with it the whole time?
17:17 - "It was no two pound friend present. It was like six pounds. That's how much Dan is worth."
17:33 - He made Dan watch him balance it on his nose. Omg that's adorable.
18:02 - Full twenty four hours of eye pain.
18:53 - Had to go to the eye hospital when he had that contact lens thing.
19:21 - Chucked the centipede out the window. Didn't want to kill it, doesn't like killing animals.
20:06 - Knee slap dot com.
20:19 - Attack on Titan! He's so excited. Wants to eat himself; canniphil rise.
20:43 - Wants more Levi. Phil really likes Levi. Is this his Haru?
21:12 - He had "big feels" in the last episode.
21:34 - "How eloquent. English language degree."
22:01 - His mum made the best brownies he's ever eaten.
22:21 - Watched Captain America Civil War for the second time. Hyped for Spiderman.
22:53 - New video; read his old emails.
23:18 - Has a lot of chat logs from AOL in email form.
23:42 - AOL discs. He played frisbee with them.
24:01 - Cracks up again over 'clean us, dad.'
24:12 - "Stop calling me dad, though. Because it's inappropriate."
24:20 - Admires his own eyes. Same, Phil. Same.
24:44 - Doesn't like Love Island anymore. He watched a week of it, that was more than enough of the trash. He didn't realize it lasted for seven weeks.
25:10 - Stopped watching it when they started being horrible to each other.
25:26 - Ate fish and chips with his family.
25:44 - He vinegars the heck out of his fish and chips.
25:55 - Last liveshow for "quite a while" - not back until July.
26:14 - Admits he needs to show waffle restraint.
26:29 - Doing one or two things on stage.
27:17 - He is in a house with air conditioning for the first time in his life.
27:31 - Wonder Woman was incredible.
27:57 - Fish out of water scenes are great, stuff in the island is great, characters/actors are great. He might go see it again.
28:30 - Chris Pine is distracting when you're watching the film, when he's radiating out of his face. How do you achieve that face.
29:01 - When he finds coins on the floor, the date is always 1997. He is being stalked by the year 1997. Illuminati conspiracy. The start of his story. It will be a series. And a movie.
29:45 - They meant weight not money. "Okay. Never mind."
30:43 - Boy puppy baby names.
31:13 - He likes human names for animals.
32:00 - Beauty tips with Phil.
33:01 - Phil dancing to the beauty music.
33:14 - Beauty tip #1 - change your face wash every three or four months, because your skin gets used to them.
33:41 - His face currently smells of tree sap.
33:53 - He does some yoga - downward dog. Total eclipse. Bat. He made those up. But downward dog is a thing. (Yeah I bet it is. Bet you and Dan are big fans of that one.)
34:10 - Next tip: don't spray hairspray directly into your mouth and probably isn't good for your health.
34:19 - Another dance break.
34:30 - Next tip: Drink lots of water.
34:56 - Next tip: when you finish making tea, put teabags on your eyes.

35:25 - Did not watch E3, but saw Mario video and is excited for T-Rex Mario.
35:43 - Hyped for Black Panther.
35:57- Flat earthers. He is not a flat earther.
37:02 - Steven Universe
37:24 - He deleted Pokemon Go.
38:57 - Air freshener review. Smells like clean t-shirts fell on your face during a thunderstorm. Three stars. He's just not that into it.
40:02 - His toilet smelling like vanilla cupcake gave him conflicted feelings about the toilet.
40:24 - Three worst animals: centipedes, mosquitoes, wasps.
40:55 - "I like doing it on my bed as well. Maybe I'll do more liveshows from this room. Who knows."
42:42 - Promoting Dan; Memeing of Life made Phil chuckle.

thanks dizzy for doing these so often; it probably is quite a bit of work but I enjoy reading them back so much. you always kind of comment and it always makes me chuckle and smile and think.

10:06 - His room is a work in progress. Careful camera work not to show more of his room. One painting above his bed, one over the dresser.

this made me chuckle, even more so that he only discussed decorating two walls of his bedroom. hmm. i guess some people just like it asymmetrical.

17:17 - "It was no two pound friend present. It was like six pounds. That's how much Dan is worth."

I am so very here for joking about their friendship like this. Seriously though, I feel like this is something that's changed recently - they're much more comfortable making fun of each other. They joke that they hate each other, they hit each other playfully in videos, roll their eyes at each other's behaviour, and I don't really think I've noticed that as much before.
For me personally, I only act like this with people who I know are in fact aware just how deeply I care for them, people who I am secure with in my appreciation for them. For deppy, being in the public eye, I guess they also only do this when they feel some level of security that their fanbase is aware of their care for each other. Maybe I am wrong, but for me that would play into it; I wouldn't make fun of someone that I like if I wasn't sure that the many people watching our behaviour could see clearly that it's just a joke. I think that's part of why seeing this behaviour of them makes me so happy: I view it as them trusting that we know they care for each other deeply, so they can easily make those jokes because we know. They let us know. Ugh.
or maybe I am just over-analysing and looking at it too strongly from how I would act in their situation, who knows

25:10 - Stopped watching it when they started being horrible to each other.

he also stated he doesn't like drama, didn't he? always appreciate things like that being spelled out clearly

[nikkii]

deppy are in Anthony's first video outside of smosh!

I highly doubt the script would've been rejected because of homosexual content... I don't think homophobia or heteronormatovity are part of tinder "values" (I've never used it, but I believe you can choose what gender you're attracted to). It has most likely been rejected because of borderline jokes or a too sexual content as other have said before.

However you make a very good point asking that question because I can't think of a single LGBTQ+ youtuber who has done this spon, and there has been a lot lately. Maybe they were contacted but weren't interested?

Just because they're cool with gay/etc people using their app doesn't mean they want to shell out full-value spon dollars on something that will appeal to a minority of their potential customers (and also potentially alienate some of the majority potential customers). Money wins over "values" most of the time, and usually at the expense of minorities involved. There's not much point giving a brand/business the benefit of the doubt (imo).

I think you have a point with this. Can you imagine that happening in a collab with anyone else? To act like that requires the trust that we know that they are joking. It's also part of why I like it so much, because joking about things like that reaffirms that they have a close relationship and make each other happy. All I want is for them to be happy.

I haven't watched Phil's latest ls but I want to give it a watch soon. I've started finding myself drawn more and more towards Phil; I always used to consider myself a fan of both but with a soft spot for Dan and I'm happy that its changing because I love Phil, he brightens up my day. Also I'm finding him more and more attractive as he ages...

[offtopic]also its so stupidly hot today omg. I was stuck on a train journey from hell and wanted to die.[/offtopic]
