Dan's YouNow liveshow - 20 December 2016 :
2.29 - dan is not in his room because it is too messy to tidy.
9.04 - “for lots of people out there you know they might have family problems or personal health issues. christmas isn't the perfect thing everybody wants it to be..” this was really nice to hear and i think this reason, in addition to what it means for them doing gamingmas, was the main motivation behind it. you can be cynical and say it was for the money and obviously that is a part of it, but hearing all that he said during this ls made it clear that gamingmas was meant to bring happiness to them and their viewers.
9.43 - “i’m tired, you’re tired. i could be making deep, existential videos on dinof right now but no, i’m quite happy making dorky videos on the gaming channel. it’s what i need right now.” i loved his attitude towards making dinof videos during this ls. he seemed like he wasn’t stressed about making them and right now he is happy about what he is doing on youtube with dapg.
12.53 - *sniff* “sniff” i love that both him and phil sometimes do this thing where they say the word sniff after doing it.
13.23 - “i feel like a lot of people don’t understand the branding joke.” i feel like this is true and a lot of people aren’t understanding what the “rebranding” joke/mentions are. it seems dan can't do anything without people assuming it is part of a new brand. to me, "post-baking-universe" means a change in their behavior to be more themselves and less of the brand they created leading up to tatinof.
16.28 - pete wentz unfollowing him on twitter story which i find hilarious if he was unfollowed for the “kink tweeting.”
22.09 - choking on a boiled sweet story.
27.47 - kanye discussion. very interesting and thoughtful answer imo. expressed what a lot of people are feeling right now about how confusing kanye’s actions are in relation to things he has said in the past and he has “temporarily unstanned.”
31.31 - passionate pokemon sun/moon discussion.
36.00 - passionate the walking dead discussion.
39.08 - “get a proper piano that works and get some piano lessons again.”
40.49 - “it will make me depressed because i was just a terrible teenager that never had any fun romantic experiences..” because he says he has “never had any fun romantic experiences” i don’t think he meant romantic as in idealistic, i think he literally meant romantic.
44.46 - “i just feel stupid when we don’t do things right. i feel like i’m missing out on all these easter eggs and it’s overwhelming.” i know the gaming channel does ruin their enjoyment out of certain games so i’m glad to hear that he is going to play the undertale genocide route on his own time just to enjoy it. i always wish they would play games with a story on the gaming channel but hearing his thoughts about how overwhelming doing games like this is, it makes sense that they choose not to do it.
45.25 - “i’m really looking forward to 2017..” it's good to hear that he is looking forward to the new year and seemed happy about having a stress free transition to the new year. having no huge plans for the future is probably nice after the busy year they have had. he could have been negative about things ending and having nothing to plan, but he said it in such a positive way that i believe it is actually exciting to not have a huge project and just focus on youtube for a while.
51.16 - snorting a bead story.
54.22 - “i’m really, genuinely looking forward to 2017… now that all of this crazy stuff that we’ve been up to has been finished.” he sounds optimistic for the future, i'm really looking forward to what 2017 means for them .
55.01 - “we’re scared to commit to any travel plans..” interesting they aren’t committing to traveling for even playlist, but it could really mean anything.
