-D: I mean it’s as dodgy as it sounds tbh, isn’t it?
-P: Yeah.
-D: Social media strangers?
-P: Social media… [moves on]
6:17
-D: “Sit on the Internet, talking to strangers. Are you being groomed, Phil”?
-P: I wasn’t being groomed.
-D: That’s how it worked probably.
-P: That was.. yeah a little bit of that. (!!)
7:54
-D: “Let’s just try being creative weirdos on the Internet the whole time!” It was scary but then I think we err... it all worked out.
8:03
-P: I think by making more videos together we developed more of a viewership of people wanting to watch Dan and Phil videos. [That’s… a very carefully put understatement of a century Philly. And the word “ship” still made it there lol.]
8:46
-D: “For us it was years and years of nobody watching..” (that’s bs Dan)
9:52
-P: I try not to think about what the audience want but what I would enjoy making. (Oookay. If you say so. You sure?)
10:45
-D: Phil kinda… fell into comedy. (That’s an interesting observation.)
10:50
-D: ..relatable topics.. (Phil takes a sip.)
Beside the point, but the glass looks like a shot glass in Dan’s giant hand and it made me lol when he was talking and waving it around. Also funny that when Dan was answering questions for himself he was often interviewing Phil within those answers.
12:01
-P: You can get a lot of ads on that one. [a 14-hour long monologue]
-D: [makes a «stop it» gesture]
12:36
-D: That’s going to be in 5 years. The inevitable break-down. [The Dark Phil who had had enough of the internet].
13.00
-P: He’s already the Dark Dan.
14:00
Phil essentially walked right into the making money topic. Good one lol.
16:46
Dan boasting how self-sufficient a youtube creator (i.e. him) is. Then waffles for minutes.
20:00
Throwing in Radio One mention as a show-off. Lol, regarding where Deps and Radio One are at now and how they parted.
20:50
-D: We had six and a half minutes with 1D in the toilet. (No context needed.)
Dan is blushing, sweating, waffling for a long while expressing some rash unfinished thoughts.. I saw that before.. in hundreds liveshows. Sue: hmm.
26:30
They’ve had conversations with BBC 3, BBC Comedy over the years, and it didn’t work out for various reasons. (Did Dan mean casually chatting to Bryony or actually some projects?)
28:30
That was pretty eloquent way to express why the global access to content is where the entertainment industry has progressed to. I’ll give this to Dan.
29:20
D&P complimenting on the Bake-Off with Sue. That was cuuute.
30:00 - ish
Dan showing off, throwing in mentions of working with stage show producers and book editors.
32:12
-S: This generation is very open about anxiety.
-D: [Literally takes a sip. Lets Phil talk.]
33:20
Phil is so cold-blooded about negative comments. (Definitely a vampire.) Dan thinks he is weird.
34:07
Sue loves Dan’s “We were born in the fires of the Internet”.
34:47
-D: People aren’t afraid of sharing their vulnerabilities. (Speaking very generally here, Dan.)
39:06
Phil doesn’t look impressed with the "how old you are" question. Lol his face.
Phil thought everyone will stop watching on his birthday.
Dan speaking for the audience: “We still love you”. Aw.
41:43
D&P obviously aren't commissioners of TV channels, but they managed to waffle about it with the positive message at the end.
