About the rooms- I don't think it really means anything- they live together and have separate rooms so it's not really significant. If I wanted to get all conspiracy about it then I would agree that we didn't see personal items in Phil's room- all very tight camera shots and no glimpses of his balcony or bathroom. Could be its not his room, he could be dating one of the tour managers that was with them at the wildlife park, or the boys could just be trying to gaslight us by having separate rooms on the day they planned to film because it's not like they decided to do this ditl spontaneously and they know we are on to them. Who knows still didn't take away from the cute.

My favorite parts:
Phil eating the Timtam's
Phil getting chased by the emu
Dan getting his hand slapped by the kangaroo
Dan holding the koala- he was so excited
The sound Dan made when he saw Phil's picture- it sounded like he thought it was the most adorable thing he'd ever seen

(Basically 90% of the video)

Another quick question... why is Phil waking up in the same shirt he wore all day?

Regardless of how rich you are, if you're traveling with your best friend (mind you, a best friend you can't spend 5 seconds apart from), why would you get separate rooms? I just find that strange. I'm not too serious about them lying. They could very well be in different rooms. I just don't understand why? Even if platonic, it doesn't make sense.
I've had time to think about this and the only logistical thing would have to be the jet lag? Phil might wake up early than Dan so even if they had a twin room, Phil would've woke Dan up and Dan wouldn't have been happy. Especially with room service. Also, is Dan still coughing? If so that could be a very vailed excuse to not share a room with someone. Another thing is that the hotel didn't offer a two bedroom suite and because of that, had to settle for two rooms because of one of the two possiblities listed above.
Or it could be that they just got the room for that night because they knew they were filming a ditl that day, who knows? All I know is, I'm not doubting them as much as I was and I'm not as confused.
This was my very first thought. If they are, in fact, in separate rooms, this was planned in advance. They new that Koala day would be a DITL.

Omg that was incredible, I felt like I was watching a home movie like the whole time. Like, mooching around a wildlife park and rolling around on the floor felt very much like the content one of my family's home movies would have. Amaaaaazing. Loads of little natural laughs and chill vibes, but still really funny - 10/10.


Phan-related shit under the cut for those who don't care for it or want the discussion of the vid itself derailed by us balking about sleeping arrangements:
It takes a LOT to make me doubt they're together these days, and this video did. I actually had to pause it when he was knocking on Dan's door like... oh wow. And then I was thinking in my phan-centric universe how could I justify them sleeping in separate rooms without sounding like a delusional shipper, and I couldn't. That hotel offers two-double-bed rooms so its not like their hand was forced by the fear of someone finding out they shared a king room with separate rooms being the only alternative.

I don't really buy the 'wanted some space' explanation - if you take a step back, its kind of reaching. Don't get me wrong, I wanna reach too, but realistically I don't think that's likely particularly for them.

So I tried to watch the rest of the video in the 'they're just friends' mindset and its so weird?? It may just be years of my perception going a different way but I just really struggle to read them as platonic.

That lead me on to thinking that wow, eventually one day they may well move out separately and how weird that will be and just ...????? wtf someone talk me down

Since the two of them are one sneeky sneeky shits I wouldn't be surprised if one of the rooms are Martin & Cornelias. Or they just had two separate rooms this time, no biggy
Loved the video! Like any other day in the life videos of theirs

...Pina colada *caugh* *caugh* ;)
Hahaha Dan sure loves his leopard prints
I really hate that weed shirt of Dan's! I thought it grew on me but resonantly but he' s wearing it every single time! It needs to go in the trash, it looks too worn out and just no! And damn that boy needs to learn to pack suitably for the weather, and he just "recovered" from pneumonia, sigh. And because of the Phandom he can't wear or borrow phil's clothes anymoe because we will all die smiling/crying ourselves to death lol. They might not had spent eating breakfast together this time, but they did spent the whole day together... when did they watch the anime? must be sometime waay past mind night? haha well they spent the next morning together then? lol

-sorry for the lowstander english

I really enjoyed that vid! I love animals and yesterday I went to a place like the one they visited so it was a really nice surprise for me :D

All the Phil shots in this vid tho I love him so much, that boy can't look bad. The angel moment omg and I also adored them with koalas, Dan was such a cutie and Phil looked so excited. I know I would feel the same, life goals for sure!

I feel like there wasn't that much going on as in the japan ditl but I guess they really didn't have time/energy to go to a lot of places like on that one. It did warm my heart that they were dining and watching their tv shows together just like at home. Whatever they are, I admire it as I'm sure I would have murdered my friend/partner if I spent so much time with them.

Now phan talk:
I feel the same as Lurktacularr, I really don't want to justify the room situation because I feel like I'm reaching too much. Ngl it was a downer to watch Phil walk all the steps and say he'll check on his neighbour. I kind of have stopped thinking phan is real lately, at least from Phil's side and I think I will enjoy the vids a bit more if I'm not getting sad by phan denial moments like the one this had.

For some reason that makes me feel better about Dan and Phil not sharing rooms :lol: makes me feel as if he could of actually used Martyn's room or something, I hope so. :(

Room shit again:
I must say from watching the beginning again, it is weird as fuck. It felt weird on first watch but I was so busy waiting for Dan's appearance that I was sort of side-tracked. The two probably go hand in hand, ironically.

I dunno, I'm still not convinced but coming from a non-delusional place as per my last post, even then it still looks weird. As rizzo says - Phil, you 'just woke up' and you're 'yawning' but you've clearly got up and got dressed (probably showered) we can see your shirt you dumdum.

Also if I was with my bestie and she was in the room next to me I wouldn't be sat in my room eating breakfast on my own either. They even eat together when they're at home lol.

So yeah something seems off on second watch. As I say, still not convinced at all, but not entirely either

That was probaly the funniest, sweetest and most adorable thing they filmed this year. It was cute and fluffy and next to everything I could have wanted, a god-damn day in life, I've waited for one for so long and - and it made me feel like shit.

Like utter, complete shit. And I guess I can't compartmentalize as well as I thought I can, because I couldn't enjoy a second of that video.

And, you know, a fandom hasn't made me feel this bad in a while. And I've done that, I've done a fandom like that, and I don't know if I can again, to just be waiting for things to change.

Because regardless of whether I actually am a delusional idiot child or they're just drawing a new line I thought they were over for a long while now, I - don't wanna feel like this. I thought they were in a better place, I thought -

I don't know. Between the room, the breakfast, the two women walking with Martyn and Cornelia so conveniently barely in shot for people to speculate about...

It didn't make me feel good. And I don't need a YT fandom as a consance source of creeping doubt and uncertainty, I've got the rest of my life for that. So. You know. Gonna take a few days and do some thinking, I guess.

I don't know. I just -

sigh.

Home movie vibe is a great description, that was the sweetest, fluffiest video they've possibly ever made. I still can't quite believe I just saw Dan herding geese and Phil hopping alongside a kangaroo (what's wrong with their pronunciation of emu btw? That's how I say it too). Dan holding koala, Dan holding baby, the only difference is the fur and claws.

I'm intrigued by Dan lying on the floor with his feet up on the bed as if he's relaxing his hip flexor muscles. I have lower back trouble and I'm meant to do that as the hip flexors get too strong from overwork and the muscles that are meant to be working just sit there getting weak. I don't just roll backwards without a care, though, that would not help things.

Room situation could be any of many reasons. Maybe they don't want to fuel the ship fire, even want to quell it, or haven't thought about it either way and just wanted their own space what with jetlag, coughing, who knows. I tend to go along with them being together and not much sways me either way. Whatever's going on or not, with how they've tried to cover it up, then stopped that and relaxed, who knows what's real and what's easy to misinterpret? I haven't much energy for trying to figure it out, I just find them adorable and watch everything they upload with the fondest smile the whole time :roll:

Also last night one of my rl friends discovered how addictive they can be. Yay Pokemon, she's been playing it and was bored so my "I'd recommend YouTube but I get watching tall geeks chasing Pokemon isn't for everyone", accidental reverse-psychology ftw.

Completely agree with all of this.

I'm trying not to think about it too much, but I'm really starting to doubt phan and that makes me really sad. I don't want to think about it. :( :( :( ughhh why do i do this to myself

Probably this whole thing is reaching, but my thoughts because 'we totally slept in separate beds like platonic neighbours' isn't enough to deter me:
I'll admit I thought we were seeing a loosening of their grip on the 'bros and roommates TRUE' company line recently, but then the unfortunate (to me) bus tweets happened right before starting a large US tour. So I've pushed that idea away, they're going strong with the 'we're friends' for the time being. (Which isn't even a lie, whatever else they may or may not be, they're friends). Now this is the video people will look at as a little capsule in time of their Australian leg of the tour.

So many new people will be coming over into the Dan and Phil world once the tour video and documentary are released, right? More eyes. If they didn't want to say they were more than friends to the audience they already had, why would they want to announce it to a whole new group of people just falling into the rabbit hole? Also, who the hell are they touring with right now, outside of Martyn/Cornelia/Mgr-Lady? We don't know the crew, D&P probably aren't that close with them. Why not get two rooms for keeping up appearances with strangers and to establish their narrative in the DITL vid they knew they would be filming? People flipped the fuck out analysing the bed situation in their last DITL (Japan), people have been creepy trying to analyse the bus-bed situation on the US tour (even after they so indelicately brought up the issue themselves... good one guys). "Hey Dan, how about we just shut this shit down before it starts and clearly just have two rooms?" "K." Nobody can say they pushed the beds together, nobody can question the shower situation, they drew a clear line. For noobs, nothing 'questionable' to see here.
Too ? Don't care lol. They'll need to be caught dating other people before I'm swayed, soz.
Thanks and have a great day! Oil me

For me it doesn’t really matter if they actually didn’t share a room or went through a lot of effort to make it appear like they didn’t share one, it left a bad taste in my mouth. I felt like it was a very deliberate showing by them, very in contrast to what happened in the DITL Japan one.
Every time I think they are opening up more, they go ahead and take steps back. It just gets a bit tiring.

Still enjoyed the video, because how I can I not with so many cute animals. Also I thought that Phil was looking very good.
But it’s not my fave DITL vid of them.

So, let's get our Sherlock / tinfoil hat mode on. Sorry not sorry for this long post.

Image

Before the Analysis: Phil with glasses and stubble + Dan 100% ready to be a dad + Cute animals + unexpected DITL =

- WAKEY WAKEY

As you all have already mentioned, they made really, really clear this time they had slept in different rooms, so there would not be any speculation about it here...really? Like Rizzo noted, when Phil woke up, he was wearing the same shirt he would wear the rest of the video. It is known that he sleeps without a shirt and two videos ago he recorded himself like that, so this sudden modesty? is a bit...

Image

This, and those close shots of Phil when he was in his own room, as if to avoid us to see anything that wasn't his face, pancakes and the wall picture, seem a bit off to me. However, benefit of the doubt yadda yadda.

- THE 101 IPHONES.

When Dan opens the door, we can see his MacBook on the bed, as well as what it seems to be an iPhone being charged. But then...Dan checks the time with his iPhone. What's the thing on the bed, then? Or does Dan own a "work" iPhone and a "personal" iPhone? Or someone was in the room before?

Image

- THE CONTACT LENS SOLUTION?

There is a small white and blue bottle of what it seems to be a contact lens solution on Dan's room, on the corner the table next to the door. Can't think of anyone who uses contact lenses...oh, wait. Of course, this is purely speculation and I might be horrendously wrong, so place your bets.

Image
Image

And when Dan is about to show us that lovely, lovely T-shirt...the bottle disappears.

Image

- THE MYSTERIOUS WOMAN (#phandivorced totes)

And for all the antiphan / phangnostics ...who is the blonde woman? She has been seen in some pictures with fans, and she went with them to the zoo.

As much as I enjoy DITL videos and think they are full of very genuine D&P moments there are also elements to them which are obviously very set-up and Phil awaking in the t shirt he wore all day and having breakfast solo before checking if Dan was awake & wanted to eat with him was one of them. For one it's called a DITL of Dan and Phil and two when planning to spend the day with someone surely it's more practical to see if they're hungry before you eat yourself so you don't get stuck waiting for them to order and eat their breakfast after you've had yours.

So yeah there is no way Phil had not already interacted with Dan that morning before he went to "check" if Dan was awake on camera.

And while I don't know what to think about the room situation I do think they were making an effort to ensure their was no room for speculation on the room situation... like Phil focusing on the different wall pictures.... perhaps he just liked the art... perhaps he wanted to make sure no conspiracy theories that it was all one room reared there heads.

so many feelings in just one video. i am overwhelmed.
even though i have no right to, i was actually a bit angry and dissapointed seeing the two separate rooms. my shipper heart was broken :sobs: :sobs:

and then seeing them in the park with all the animals Everything was cute. so adorable and funny. phil was so breathtaking beautiful in the natural light. the scenes with the koala, the kangaroo and the bird chasing phil killed me. so cute. i love phil and i love animals. even dan was kind of cute in some moments. DITL are the only content we get to see glimpses of him without his ugly persona. it happens only once a year for me to like dan but the little antiphan devil inside me was trying to ruin it, my phan heart was still aching :|

and to finish me off the last 8 minutes with them hanging out in dans bedrooms together for no reason and acting like enamored idiots. Suddenly everything was fine phan is real and i am just waiting the moment they buy a house, a dog and have a baby
like if you want me to stop shipping you please try not to spend every waking hour together. maybe if you stopped acting so infatuated with each other then maybe i would buy the whole two separate rooms... #antiphan proof

honorable mentions (and moments that kept me sane a phannie):

sitting dangerously close smelling/eating tim-tams.3:00 why is your faces so close give each other some room to breathe please
phil with the koala. so beatuful 8:04
phils face and dans giglle 9:04
the kangaroo kicking dan 11:25 (that kangaroo is my soulmate)
the bird chasing phil 12:05
phils "put some clothes on DUDE" 14:20
phil eating and dan filming him(CUTE) 15:10
dan high-key loving phils koala photo 16:33
phil low-key calling dans personality sassy and daring 17:36
phils pedagram :o

Nah I actually agree with you. When I first watched I was just kind of consumed by the surprise of it, but per my last post having watched again, something does seem off about it.

More under the cut again
My suspicion is slightly different to yours - from the weird choppy, close-range shots (and clearly set up to some extent re him already being dressed when he 'just woke up') and from the fact we never go back into that room at any point in the video, the theory I would lean more towards is that it was Martyn and Cornelia's room and they didn't actually get separate rooms at all. They got a normal double, knew they couldn't shoot the opener in there so went 'I'm just gonna lie on their bed and do the intro, brb'.
As I say, still not convinced at all, I wish they'd just start the vid a little later in the day and avoid all this, but who knows

Whoever said that it's all about 1 step (maybe 2 steps??) forward, 1 step back with them was right. Sure, they don't owe us an explanation about their private lives, but yeah that was weird. You would think that nowadays they wouldn't be trying so hard to show two separate rooms but hey, who knows, maybe it's the truth right? It could be anything, either real or not..

Anyway, it was a very cute and happy video, they looked so excited to hug a koala and it was beyond adorable

And for all the antiphan / phangnostics ...who is the blonde woman? She has been seen in some pictures with fans, and she went with them to the zoo.

The blonde woman is their manager. Dan and Phil have two managers. Ether one for both of them or one for the tour/planning and one is their main manager.
We're here, we're queer, we're filled with existential fear!

^ Ok, and how do we know that, for sure? I also think she is a manager of sorts, but this thought has no tangible proof, so...

eh, idk if i just got too hyped seeing the title 'a day in the life' bc after watching i didn't think it was that great. it was pretty uneventful but i still enjoyed watching it, seeing them move about in the world.

i knew phil showing their separate rooms would upset some people on here. even my non-phan-believer heart was a lil disappointed. lately they seemed to have been leaving things a little vague but two rooms was v clear message.
i thought that would suppress the fun speculation. but turns out i still get to read theories on how they possibly could have shared a room. or acceptance that they didn't.

some timestamps.
1:15 - c'mon phil, there's not gonna be giant spiders in your hotel room. you're in the city.

1:33 - phil thinking australia is one big desert. his misconceptions about australia are a bit ridiculous. tbh this video in particular made phil appear quite childish/naive.

2:20 - "it's a metaphor for something" dan embracing the balls.

3:18 - a tim tam slam? as an australian i have never even heard of that. is that an actual thing?

6:30 - wow i hate hearing the australian accent. in comparison to her it made dan sound extremely british n posh which i'd never noticed haha.

7:31 - lol dan asking how old the koala is when phil had already told him?
and like what's the deal with thinking koalas are cute? to me they look mean and ugly. wouldn't wanna go near one to pet it.

10:28 - "she's been there for three days." i think made me laugh the most in this vid. or 12:03 about the emu, "it looks entitled." lmao.

13:30 - phil and kangaroo bouncing in sync. amazing. he should have gotten kangaroo as his past life animal.

cute seeing them back in the apartment together, even after spending the whole day in each other's company.
so yeah, it was fine. i'm just happy to get some nice, relaxing content. which is all i want from them and yet when i do get it, i'm not satisfied?

Making my first post here!!! (after lurking on here and GG for ages 8-) )

So thoughts on the video:

- Them in the wildlife park was sooooo cute, I love seeing them with animals

- Seriously how did they not know it was gonna be cold, it's winter...

- ...actually I don't even have any more thoughts on this video even though I really enjoyed it :lol:

Regarding the room situation:

Tbh I did think the beginning was a bit annoying/forced (but I guess phil wanted to show us his pancakes :sideeye: ) - I wouldn't be that bothered about them not sharing rooms though cause they usually do in hotels. (Maybe this time someone else booked for them, or they booked late, or those were the best rooms available - who knows)

I'm another one who thinks it could be possible that Phil was filming in Martyn and Cornelia's room and that both they and had double beds - which wouldn't even be weird from a friendship point of view but obviously that's not something Dan and Phil would ever admit to :sideeye:

When Dan opens the door, we can see his MacBook on the bed, as well as what it seems to be an iPhone being charged. But then...Dan checks the time with his iPhone. What's the thing on the bed, then? Or does Dan own a "work" iPhone and a "personal" iPhone? Or someone was in the room before? Image
THIS is what I live for in the phandom lmao, they totally failed this time too :facepalm: :lol:
