I enjoyed that in a weird way that made my face hurt sometimes with cringe!
FYI Cornelia has an insta story right now saying "Thought I'd answer your questions about our family trip in the comments under my Granny Flat post between 19:30 and 20:00 GMT tonight. Only polite questions plz."
Thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I trust you guys to not be rude or invasive!

Okay I've been out of town/AWOL for what feels like forever (three days and then I worked the election yesterday as a poll worker) so here's my catch up thoughts:
- Phil's Halloween video didn't super impress me but it's Phil and his face and I appreciate that he tried so hard to give us Halloween content even though he doesn't seem like he's in a place (either physically or mentally/emotionally) where making content for us is his top priority. We got fun pumpkin carving from Google and we got Phil scary stories and we got a main channel video so I'm not gonna really complain except to say that I just miss the Dan spark that we always associated with Halloween content.
- Phil and Harold! That video was hilarious to me, I loved it so much more than the first one. Though I did make the mistake of checking out Harold afterward and he's basically an older version of Adrian so I don't think pharold would work long term. Phil would get a whiff of his first raw vegan low sugar breakfast and nope out hard, running back into Dan's arms and also to his sugary cereal.
- Phil's squid game short was good but further convinces me that he's in the right place sticking to youtube. I don't think the general public would react to his tiktoks well. I hope we get more original funnies like that from him though. I will take them all and sit upon my hoard of bite sized Phil content like Smaug with his gold.
- The Isle of Man trip - Cornelia's answers weren't super revealing except that she referred to where they stayed as the Granny flat and indicated that it was Martyn with the childhood memories of there. My theory: Phil's grandfather died in January of 2020 and it's not like the past two years have probably been a great seller's market for an island that wasn't allowing people in or out for most of that. I think that M&C stayed there with Freja. (And maybe Dan and Phil? Or maybe not, maybe Phil required staying with his mum bc he's Still The Baby, No Matter What.)
- Dan. Still exists? We assume. Who knows. Not us!

I watched the business part of the new video this time cos Harold was good to listen to. The cooking was fun, though I’ve never seen falafel shallow-fried before, I have a fun memory of watching an 11-year-old deep fry them in a tiny kitchen at a local summer camp I worked at cos he had the experience, and all was fine, but I was prepared to grab him and duck or run if the oil caught fire. I have seen too many movies. Also saw him all grown up on the bus years later, bearded and all, he smiled at me, was nice.
Anyway, Phil, yes. I’ve been loving all his stuff, actually thought the punchline to the squid game one would be different cos he always makes a mess, but obviously the actual one was also very Phil.

Oh wow, I really think you've cracked the mystery! Secret project video upload is imminent?? I wonder if that's what his photoshoots were for as well.alittledizzy wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 7:59 pm So Jessica Kellgren-Fozard posted this on her community page on youtube:

I love the premise of this YT campaign. I wonder if it will be a fundraiser as well. Dan's was, and right now ASAPScience and Jack Harries and a bunch of other folks are doing different shows related to environmental issues that also has a fundraising component. YT seems to really be sinking money into original projects like this.
Phil needs to put us out of our misery and tell us what it is, that sounded like such a perfect fit. It’s going to be a pretty huge coincidence if it’s not, given the timing of the announcement and the connect to hometowns.
Edit: could this be the first part of a bigger campaign?

Joe and Zoe filmed for Who Do You Think You Are so they aren’t involved in this Youtube project. I’m not completely ruling Phil out but he wasn’t named in that tweet that came from the managing director of UK Youtube and even with his lessening fame he’s still far from unknown so Idk. It’ll be interesting to see what happens because I’m definitely curious

He heard you.
"If you're left-handed, ask a friend."
"Why am I left-handed?"
"Everybody makes mistakes."
It was good to see his face. The topic itself doesn't do anything for me as someone with zero minecraft knowledge other than what was in their gaming channel video but I love those glasses and the jumper on him so at least he was nice to look at lol

Definitely agree - the content doesn't do much for me but it is nice to just see him every few days. I think he looked tired in that video, so I hope he's doing okay.
I'm also looking forward to the next google peak season video. It's in the playlist as unlisted (they got wise to us getting it early last time, clearly) so I guess it won't get posted until the middle of next week.

I miss joint content so much!
While watching this last video I kept thinking of how Dan would have reacted at hearing those thing - his screams and 'Phiiiiiiil'

I wish there was a graph that showed Dan’s social media activity mapped against his project/merch releases...just to show how ridiculous a pattern it has become.
I’m guessing we’re due for his next generic snark/thirst/emo tweet where he’ll leverage one of his responses to say “SOON” to whatever he’s ‘working’ on.

I stumbled across this in a thread on the Animal Crossing subreddit and just thought it was really funny

Did Phil change thumbnail and title of his squid game video?
