I've forgotten what a lovely interview this is.

Only Daniel James howell would wear a longsleeve black sweater and black jeans in the summer (I know it's technically spring but you get the point) in Texas. What will we do with this boy?

I saw the address on twitter and I reported it. Since they live in an apartment/flat, I believe that they're safer than they would be living in a house since a fan or stalker would need to know exactly where they're located in the building and would probably need to ask someone for a key to get in. I personally think that this may be another reason to not buy a house just yet because it would be a lot easier for someone to track them down and terrorize them. I believe that they might move in a couple of years from now, when their YouTube fame has kind of died down and they feel comfortable living in a normal house.

Of course, that may not be the reason at all but I would just personally feel safer living in an apartment than a house if I were famous and had rabid fans as they do. I'm also sorry if I got any of the terminology wrong or anything about flats/apartments, I really don't know much about them other than they're multiple resident buildings. (Why do I always apologize about my posts? Nevermind that.)

We should definitely be getting a ls or a video today, right? It's been three days since Phil mentioned filming.

I have a question to the community.

People keep mentioning Dan's "staring" at Phil as a lovely element of their romantic relationship (and no, before someone brings it up I understand it is not brought forth as end all type of phan proof, but it is definetely interpreted in romantic context, complete with references to Phil being uncomfortable with public staring).

This has always been so utterly perplexing to me. Like, of course Dan looks at Phil while Phil's talking / being the center of attention or the major subject of conversation. Isn't it just what all people do when talking to someone? Or at least the absolute majority of them? Why is it suddenly denoted as "staring"? Is looking at the person talking in conversation for the duration of their statement out of the norm in UK? I feel like I am missing something here or y'аll gone full

That is a really nice interview indeed. Sadly we don't get many of those.

Thanks for linking to that Guardian review. I had never seen it before, and it's really awful, the comment section is great though.

I agree with you in general, I don't think Dan looking at Phil (or staring) when he is talking is a proof of anything blablabla (though I can't personally deny he sometimes watches him with borderline adoration) but have you seen the gif from that Huff post interview that started this topic?? Phil wasn't talking at all and wasn't the center of attention, in fact the interviewer was. So if Dan was watching that guy in the monitor behind Phil, it makes perfect sense, but if he was actually staring at Phil during the whole introduction it is rather weird honestly. And I am not even sure it is "weird" in the sense "oh so cute he is watching his bae". More in the sense, "run Phil run that guy is a serial killer and will probably cook you".

I'm so happy that we got a new video.

Off to watch it now.

I'm only halfway through and I'm already cracking up. Damn the meeting I have to go to!

Okay let's see what this video is about

I swear to god every time I ask a question there's new video.

...I shall use this power wisely

Okay that was worth waiting for. Well done Phil that was good.

"got to stay on brand" they know us well!

I'm loving the concept. Super unique, a bit strange and very entertaining. Good job Phil! But seriously where does Phil go on the internet to find this shit? LOL

Edit: Phil poking Dan was too cute, I watched it like 8 times

cockies

I'm never letting this go, ever.

(the video was superb)

I'll admit. I am trash. I loved the video. Ugh. Y do they do this? I am starting to get over them. It was so funny (mildy accurate). Thank you to whoever dropped that$5.

omg, I'm halfway in the video and I'm laughing too hard, mostly because there are so many topics we discussed here that I literally had to pause to get some water.

I'm not done with the video yet but I like it so far !

::innocently looks at phone after hanging up from serious work call::

::notices little bird icon::

What th-



I know, I'm late but gonna grab a cool drink and settle into it in the next fifteen minutes or so. See y'all on the other side!

Actually cry-laughed. YESSSSSS!!!!

Much pun, very branding.

If there had been one more euphamism, I might have died laughing.
although the forced ones made eme want to die a little. "special feeling"? really?
can we appreciate this face for the circumstance as well?


lol @ dan's "are you leaving that in"

I keep on feeling like they have certain things they tend to do over and over again in their collab vids, since the tour started - I mean, all the way back when the uk tour started. Am I alone? existential crisis joke, phil euphamism and dan catching it/looking shifty eyed, references to old branding (lion, llamas and such), etc? not that they dont tend to fall into ruts, but its getting annoying.

THIS,

SO
MUCH.

I mean I swear to god, we have discussed so many of these here.
I have so much to say but so little willpower to type.

Dan's duckface is what I subscribed for

I loved that video so much. I laughed way too much.
Phil poking Dan was just great.
Need to watch it again, so many great moments.

Innuendos and puns from phil 10/10 "pound into " #philtops
It was a nice video, a little persona heavy with the existential crises, but they were cute and Phil poking dans face and being a mum made it worth it

"Only works when he has to," Looks like somebody looked at his uploading dates.
