3:25 “But the thing is, I really wanted to come back and do another liveshow because it’s very important for me to feel connected to you lot and to feel intimate. The problem was when I was doing it every week on a Tuesday, what would happen if I was having an absolute crisis on that day and I was like ‘I have nothing to say, what is life??’ whereas now I’m like ‘I miss you, let’s go through this’ ”
-good for you, bad for me, no points awarded

(chat) Please do these more often
“I mean, I don’t intend to not do these for like a month, like I just did, it’s just I needed to chill, you know what I mean?”
-I love words I know I’ll be able to hold against somebody in the near future, so handy for planning upcoming grudges

(chat) How do I deal with anon hate?
“Don’t have anon on. What year is it? It’s 2018, don’t have a frickin ask.fm or tumblr inbox with anonymity. Nobody needs anonymity, it does nothing other than breed toxicity.”
5:40 “I love the Olympics. I don’t know what it is, but I’ve never really been into “sport” - and that’s like team sport - I don’t know why, it’s just my family never expressed any interest in following any sports, so I never played any, so I was never good at any. I went to school, didn’t want to play it, not into it, and it’s like, I’ve since got into motorsport/Formula 1 in a big way like a couple years ago, but there’s something about the Olympics, I just love it.”
-my family is big into sports and idgaf despite years of their best efforts. if anything, I would blame (if there needs to be “blame” for a lack of subjective interest in a thing?) the school system and the enduring horror of forced competitive group physical activity. no thanks, traumatized and resentful for life, good job “educators”

(chat) when is your next YT video?
“I’m gonna make it this week, don’t worry”
“I have a couple ideas and I’m gonna decide which of them is more fully formed tomorrow, I think”
9:45 “I’ve been so hiding-from-the-world-panicking that I changed my tumblr theme”
12:35 “Talking about great music: I want to formally apologize to the world for how much I slept on Brockhampton in 2017, ‘cause that was just disgusting and disappointing.”

(chat) Do you have a fave constellation?
15:29 “Who do you think has the time to have a favourite constellation? Oh my god, do you think I’m just some person from a John Green book that lies in a field with some terminally ill friend looking up at constellations and talking about how they remind me of philosophers or something? ‘Cause that ain’t me, I don’t know.”
-wait what. has anyone ever seen John Green and Nicholas Sparks in the same room or

(chat) will you do more classic Dan videos?
“All my videos are gonna be classic Dan videos, there’s no plan to change anything up, because I feel that what I want my YT channel to be is me kind of intimately connecting with people via the internet and I feel like me making it all myself - and it looking a bit shit - is a good part of that. That’s not to say I wouldn’t love to do some things that are bigger and better, but yeah, I mean my next video is gonna be a good old regular video of some kind.”
