• [1:04] Phil explains why he wants to change his video background. He says that it’s a bit weird having a tripod and camera and lights pointed at his bed all the time because people who visit who don’t know what he does thinks it looks like a porn set. He also thinks it gives his videos a bit of a “sexy” vibe. Phil says he’s not changing his background because he’s maturing and doesn’t like bright colors any more. Finally, he says that sitting on a bed while filming videos hurts his back.
• [3:20] Phil reads out “a bitch,” the name of a Twitter user who made a suggestion for his new video background. For many reasons, I find this moment utterly hilarious!
• [4:05] Yikes. Just...yikes.

  P: That one is tickling my not yodeling pickle.

• [4:46] Phil censors the tweet below suggesting that he should put “The giant dildo” in his new video background. Twenty-four seconds later, he says “penis,” and, on his screen, he shows products like “Grow A Dick” and “You Make Me Horny Gift Wrap.” I can’t say I fully understand why a dildo is such a big deal.
• [6:07] Phil contemplates whether he wants a statue of a naked man doing a handstand in his background. Unfortunately, he decides against it.
• [6:55] Phil reveals his new video background. There’s also a noticeable change in how the audio sounds. The sound reminded me of the time when Dan zoomed Phil around the apartment in an office chair.
• [7:08] Phil says Dan helped him put together his new video background.
• [8:33] Phil leans down, showing the chair he’s sitting on. To me, it looks like the old green dining chair from Dan and Phil’s old apartment that was highlighted in TABINOF.
• [8:41] Phil says that a fake plant/tree branch that he bought for his new background was a flop. He says that it’s literally flopping and droopy and that it has performance issues.
• [9:15] Phil talks about how he’s enabled channel memberships on YouTube.
• In the video description, Phil has his merch link pointing to danandphilshop.com, which is still okay since the Daniel Howell and AmazingPhil shops are still “smooshed together.”
