:44 - Dan sets ground rules; they will not repeat, talk about, or ever remember the last show that happened.
1:38 - Phil's mum sent them the biggest Easter care package ever.
2:22 - Danger Men at Work pop quiz.
3:12 - Dan doesn't like creme eggs.
3:42 - Dan is curating a vibe of entertainment but not fear. Don't be braced for the chaos. "You have your people. We're your people."
4:28 - They talk about the weather.
5:04 - Back to Dan and his hate of creme eggs. His tongue has changed and he can't handle that much sugar anymore. Phil bites his creme egg, and they talk about hot cross buns.
7:10 - They talk about the 'more boxes' instagram story Dan posted.
7:36 - Dan is bleeding right now, because he's signing a lot of books. (About ten thousand pieces of paper on it.) Dan procrastinated signing them until the day they were due. Phil also forgot when Dan's book comes out.
9:22 - Dan had a sensitive weekend and spent the weekend logged off. Danny's tea topic: how does social media make you feel in the good ways and the bad ways?
10:57 - "I know that you are less neurotic than me, Phil." Phil thinks he's gotten better at consuming social media. He found it stressful for a while if he clicked on trending topics or something that wasn't part of his bubble. He likes his replies and seeing what his friends are tweeting and that's the bubble that he enjoys being in. He won't even click things he likes trending because he'll see opinions that make him stressed.
12:40 - User message: likes twitter because it's a sense of community you can't get in real life.
13:26 - Phil would have been deep into the Buffy fandom. He was on Buffy forums chatting to people. (Dan shades forum. Phil defends that there's still forums out there.)
14:00 - "You're never too old to be in a fandom." Phil won't share what fandom he might jump into.
14:25 - User message: follows the dodo for happy animal videos and good news movement on instagram.
14:50 - Dan feels like he has to follow celebrity and politics to stay informed and his problem is not having a nice bubble.
15:42 - Phil talks about how instagram gives him people with unattainable looks. Instagram recs him a shirtless guy ("lol Phil's gay shirtless guy") whose head isn't real. Head is photoshopped on and facetuned. The vision of what is being presented is not that person and it makes Phil look at himself and go why don't I look like that.
17:48 - User message: person is getting their phd in this topic.
18:22 - Dan thinks that user has 'me energy' bc he knows all about mental health but has the worst mental health ever.
19:30 - Dan has information overload issues. He needs to be more chaotic, also with posting.
22:20 - User message: listener uses twitter eleven hours a day. Dan comments on how their phone must be plugged in all day.
20:46 - User message: if you make things it's nice to see other people get involved and just ignore all the people that are really mean.
21:44 - There is a whole chapter about social media and mental health in his book.
22:20 - Phil is trying to spread more likes. He used to think he should like something but wouldn't want to like two in a row.
23:20 - Phil got instagram scammed. They lured him in with a picture of a cool hoodie and then realized it was not a real website.
24:30 - Dan has been spending a lot of time delving into his youtube aglorithm. He usually just checks his subscription feed but loves what youtube thinks he should watch, and lately it's weird. Random meme videos that are three seconds long.
25:16 - Phil thinks the algorithm has been changed to be better because he's getting things he would click on. They've both been recommending a dog grooming youtuber with a good ASMR voice.
26:28 - Dan asks users to send in weird stuff youtube recommends to you. Phil specifies stuff you actually watch and think 'that's for me.' Phil gets Arthur compilations and Dan is mad because Phil didn't even watch Arthur, he wasn't a CBBC child. Phil also mentions the 'give him to me' weasel.
28:00 - User message: falling bread and waffles.
29:00 - User message: rats doing weird things, like yawning and smiling and clenching their fists in rage.
29:30 - Phil keeps getting 'will it flush' which is just a toilet and a guys hands. He puts things like 1000 m&ms down a toilet to see if it'll flush.
30:30 Dan's right now: Girl with dogs, hedge hog playing jazz, Formula 1 cute moments. Boring boomer dad sport and yet Dan has stumbled across a lovely cute girl edit of some bromance. It's a whole fancam cute moment. Dan's obviously falling into a bucket there. And a video of someone that's built a house in New Zealand.
31:30 - Phil: Their house got finished, what's that like. Dan: Bruh.
31:50 - Dan wants space. Sometimes he just doesn't want to be in the same room as Phil. They agree that it would be good if there was one more room.
32:00 - Phil's: Tom Holland falling off of a chair, what happens if you get coronavirus, and lots of toilets flushing.
32:48 - User message: guy making pools.
33:34 - Phil's last one is hamsters escaping mazes. Dan used to build mazes out of paper for Suki for enrichment. Phil used to do it with video types, and he had the sky restaurant at the center of the maze.
34:35 - Dan's grandmother had to talk to him about how he keeps doing chores to get money for plastic shit for his hamster.
34:59 - User message: someone keeps getting piss kink tiktoks. Dan stops the message halfway through, then plays it again.
35:51 - Phil's tiktok kink: paint mixing. That was Dan's job at the hardware store.
36:50 - User message: someone watched an entire fifteen minute video about people fishing for special crabs.
37:15 - Dan spons the subscription feature and money going to charity.
38:42 - Dan's Tuesday game: Dan in the Pan. He wants people to suggest their favorite food and Dan will give it a grade... is it in his pan or is he throwing it at the wall? He starts off by tossing creme eggs.
39:45 - "Phil turned up for work today." re: Phil suggesting the Dan/flan rhyme.
40:05 - Dan gives creme eggs a C, and broccoli an S tier. He hated broccoli as a child because British mothers in the noughties didn't know how to cook and his mum would put it on the plate with no seasoning. Phil says it's a B, but a good B.
41:36 - Pineapple on pizza. Dan says it is not in his pan. It's a D tier food.
42:01 - Mushy peas. Dan loves a mushy pea, and Phil doesn't. "This... this is the divorce right now, live on Stereo." Phil doesn't like baby food pre-eaten by a bird and poured into his mouth. Phil's tongue wants a real pea. Dan: Something about your youtube recommended about that person's tiktok feed.
43:01 - Licorice. Phil loves it. Dan does not, and tells Bella to take her money back.
43:51 - Curry. Dan gives it an S tier, best flavor. Phil says they had curry yesterday. Phil couldn't have it for breakfast, he needs sugar in the morning. Phil's specifices they're talking about Indian curry, though he loves a Thai curry. (But not for breakfast.)
45:11 - Buttered ramen noodles. Butter and a little garlic powder with ramen noodles (water drained). The both think it sounds good, though Dan adds wrong and dirty. Dan points out they have all those ingredients.
45:55 - Dill pickle spears. That is in Dan's pan, and Phil despite being a massive homo doesn't like gherkin. Insert all the sexual innuendo here. Phil will put one in his burger but wouldn't chew on a big pickle.
48:00 - Shoutout section. One person is listening with their girlfriend, one person is recovering from covid, one person can't ride a bike.
50:45 - Phil thinks bikes are scary. Dan realizes he has never seen Phil ride a bike. He thinks it would be like a horse trying to use a unicycle. Phil gets nervous on roads, and Dan makes him promise to never get on a bike.
51:45 - User asks Phil about linguistics. Phil liked forensic phonetics best.
52:58 - They try to do danger men at work again.
53:00 - Someone from Australia thanks them for starting their day.
