I used to watch them regularly in 2016, but I ended up stopping because I didn't find much entertainment value in them. I was pleased to find that I did actually enjoy watching this one! Here are the things that stood out to me:
- The first thing I noticed was that there’s a lamp in the background. You mean to tell me that the tweet below wasn’t 100% serious? I’m shocked!
- [5:43] Some of Dan’s body language in the liveshow today stood out to me. He kept rubbing his cheeks like he does here throughout the whole liveshow, and there were also a couple of points (e.g., [12:40]) where he fiddled with his earring for what seemed like a long time.
- [5:48] There are going to be extras included with the release of the Interactive Introverts movie, including commentary by Dan and Phil. Dan wasn’t specific about what the other extras will be, but Dan and Phil have talked about what at least one of them will be in another liveshow.
- [6:20] Dan says a bunch of information about the Interactive Introverts movie will be released next week. He thinks the information will be released in an AmazingPhil video.
- [8:55] It sounds to me like Dan visited his home last weekend (at least in part) because it was his dad’s birthday.
- [13:58] Dan talks about the Jake Paul series on Shane Dawson’s YouTube channel.
- [16:43] Dan talks about the anniversary of his video “Daniel and Depression.” It sounds like that video is the thing he is most proud to have ever released into the world.
- [17:56] Dan says he has a hard time being sincere and talks about why. I really appreciated this honest conversation.
- [19:00] Dan announces that, tomorrow, for World Mental Health Day, he’s going to release some new merch and donate all of the proceeds to the YoungMinds charity.
- [20:50] Dan says that the “Dan branding font” is Baskerville. He wants us to know that this is definitely not the same font that Harry Styles uses in his merch (which, according to this webpage, is a font called Acta).
- [23:26] Dan wants to step up his game when it comes to the aesthetics of his videos, and he doesn’t know how to do it. It sounds like this might be one of the reasons he doesn’t yet feel ready to upload a new video to his channel.
- [25:29] Dan says he and Phil filmed some videos for DanAndPhilGAMES today, so I guess we should look forward to those coming out sometime soon.
- [25:52] I can’t tell if this is Dan hedging on whether there’s going to be a PINOF or if he’s just teasing or saying something else entirely.
D: “PINOF!” says everybody. Well, it’s that time of year, isn’t it? I guess we’ll have to see...what happens. I dunno, man. *laughs*- [26:01] It sounds like Dan sees himself as a creator/entertainer, not necessarily as a YouTuber, so he doesn’t “feel bad” (as someone in chat said to him) about not uploading regularly. He’ll make videos when he feels like he has something to say, and he’s not trying to be the most popular YouTuber of all time.
- [28:51] Dan talks about this Instagram story where he mentioned that a teenage boy complimented him on his techwear. The Instagram story made it seem like Dan was alone when this incident happened, so I was surprised to learn that he was actually with Phil (but not actually that surprised ).
- [32:08] Dan on younger versions of himself:
D: Uh, “I’m sure you were great.” I really wasn’t. I really wasn’t great. Honestly, I’m--I’m aging like a--something that j--I’m like a Pokémon. I’m just gaining experience and leveling up. Literally, any version of myself from a previous moment in time is just such a steep decline. It’s--It’s crazy, and I guess that’s a good thing. Um, yeah. *laughs*- [33:35] Dan reveals that he’s wearing glitter nail polish! I had been looking at his nails throughout the whole liveshow thinking it was odd how they were catching so much light from the monitor. Now, it all makes sense. It’s too bad the camera quality wasn’t good enough for them to show up better. I know I would have liked to appreciate their aesthetic more!
- [35:16] Dan says that there are no plans for a 2019 calendar. I have already decided that, if they don't release an official one, I'm going to make my own Dan and Phil calendar using Shutterfly or something.
- [36:15] Dan says that he’ll “maybe” start putting liveshows back on danisnotinteresting on YouTube. Even if he doesn’t, he says not to worry because they’ll be on Tumblr anyway. (But I am worried because I hate using Tumblr’s video player to do these timestamps! )
