This is probably stupid but I’m confused about the premise of dystopia daily. At the start of the video, he says “in this last part of the episode” but it’s the start of the episode? He also said it’s the end of the pilot - which is usually the first episode in a show but this isn’t the first video in the series. So is he considering each of those videos to all be part of one “episode”? Does that means the series is over?? (I assumed Louise was filming one with him though..?). I like having content to watch but I don’t get it.
I’m confused by those things as well. I’m wondering if he’s making some sort of joke by these things being blatantly incorrect, or if he’s just trying to be casual and not make everything perfect.

He had mentioned somewhere that every couple of videos would comprise one "episode," so maybe now the pattern of video type starts over. Everything thus far was filmed together, and now the next set will probably be what he filmed the other day.

I think he might have explained it in the first video but each 'episode' consists of 4 segments, each in a separate video. I think the theme of each segment might be consistent (ie. monologue, guest, doing youtuber-y things, whatever you'd classify today as). I thought it made sense at the beginning when I assumed the segments would be posted over consecutive days or something but now, not so much. It's basically just a series of videos he will be posting during the tour that have rotating themes lol.

This definitely makes the most sense to me, and it lines up with what he's had time to already film since we know he did at least two days of DD filming before leaving for Canada. So we'll get Louise as the next guest. He also had people show their "blunder years" photos and dating profiles, so those are two ready made segments he's probably already filmed, and he mentioned more 'mascots' coming so he probably got someone with a dog or some other cute animal for another eye bleach section.

Man it's weird to realize Dan is actually busting his ass now. I mean, I think he always was aside from depressive periods, but now we can see the results of it and he's filming a lot.

Apparently I'm triple posting. Anyway, community update from Phil!
AmazingPhil wrote:CACTUS KINGS
How are we doing

If you want a mental image, I’m not sat under a canopy of burnt orange leaves, I’m actually in the office with the blind closed and breaking all social norms by eating a night cornetto.

(I went for strawberry btw) (for some reason I’m on a cornetto kick at the moment) (broken up with nobbly bobblys sorry) (magnums are C tier don’t fight me on this)

So where’ve I been? I had a mini summer break from youtube stuff! Not for dramatic reasons I just like to take a break over summer if I can. Well I say a break - I have been buzzing around in the background helping a certain curly haired fiend.

Firstly I have been helping out behind the scenes (and in front of the scenes) a bit on Danny’s new show Dystopia Daily, which if you haven’t seen you must immediately close this and watch it and come back.
You are back.
Hello again.
Hope you enjoyed!

The new video has an adorable cat called Bird and saying hi was totally worth having an allergic reaction and violently wheezing for the rest of the day.

It was cool seeing Dan’s vision come to life and when I walked into that set it was literally like I’d walked into his actual brain. He didn’t actually tell me what to expect (except for preparing for the game we were playing) so I think that added to the chaos… I still don’t think the aubergine water was a good idea.

I’m also HOME ALONE as Dan has set off on his space mission. (get a ticket now if you can) Will I thrive alone or start rocking back and forth in a corner while talking to my hand? Only time will tell! I’m very tempted to start filling the house with colourful or metallic objects (..or both colourful and metallic) will they be shaped like pigs? Only time will telll. Will I keep saying ‘only time will tell’ at the end of every sentence? Only time will smell.

What is Phil watching this week??
I’ve dipped into the new 'Rings of the Rings, Rings of the Ring' and I’m kinda enjoying it! It’s nice to watch something a bit PG for once and go on a lil adventure with some dwarves and elves. They’re all VERY BRITISH though, I don’t know if it’s because I’m British but these are some real British British people.

Also checked out the new 'Dragon of Thrones' and I’m pleasantly surprised given how miffed I was about the original’s ending. As soon as they started playing that theme music I was like ok i forgive u have my cash.

Health wise I’ve had about 10% of improvement on the dizzy front so i’m taking that as a win. Let’s keep that spinning glass half full. I’ve got another appointment in a month so fingers crossed I get somewhere! (if I can walk in a straight line lol lol)

ANYWAY my conetto is now at the delicious tiny end bit so I’ll sign off and appreciate it in peace. I feel like I could have got a spon from cornetto out of this post.

Hope your first few days of October are going swell and I’ll see you SOON(ish)

you are the weakest skink
goodbye

p.s i’ve got a video coming at some point featuring a guest! A special guest? Depends who you’re asking! I haven’t started editing yet so it may be in a week or so!

Just received my VIP deets for the Toronto show, I can't believe it's only 3 days away! In case anyone missed Dan's insta story, I just checked and there are still a couple of the new VIP tickets available: 2 in row G and 7 in row H, plus some VIP upgrades for anyone who already has tickets. See y'all Friday :loveeyes:

Why am I genuinely so stressed over Phil's health have I gone parasocial

On related reasoning I relate so much to having something that just makes doc after doc no matter how expensive and famed shrug and say "idk man sucks to be you". So. Sucks to be Phil and I painfully sympathise

I'm so happy to have an update from phil, more than just a formulaic tweet. Good for him for taking a break, he probably needed it. And I think it's fine if he wants to be a stay at home husband for a while when Dan is away making Content.

But it's very rude of him to talk so much about the (superior) strawberry Cornetto when it's no longer available in my country :evil:

Again, I feel like Phil is being SO LOUD about his love for Dan without saying much in his membership post.

I really hope when he's in Portland, Oregon he goes to Baby Ketten karaoke. All the rooms are different themes and they make completely original cuts of indie songs, stuff you can't find anywhere else as karaoke songs. Also it's all vegan bar food.

I don't think he'll have time while he's in Portland because I think he's hitting seattle the next day, but darn.

Portland's karaoke scene is so over the top weird (puppets, stripper karaoke) that the NYtimes wrote about it.

Is there an issue going on with this site? My IP was banned for about 2 minutes. :(
Well, anyway, if not, probably doesn't hurt to let y'all that help run this place know what happened. :D

(And on a related note, how cute was Dan's smile the last like 15 seconds of his latest video. <3 )

He put it on twitter AND instagram with added angles from the audience. That was a performance of a lifetime and he's showing it off lol

An article about Charlieissocoolike coming out on pinknews described the comings out of other british youtubers at the bottom and I chuckled at how they described Phil.

Some examples he just liked from waay back, but there's just an absurd amount all mixed from random times - I'm confused:

I think twitter actually may be bugging out. I've noticed other accounts (e.g., charlie mcdonnell, lex croucher, zach kornfield) that have apparently liked a bunch of seemingly random old tweets, or at least thats how it appears for me

also lol @ the fact that this is my first post on this forum despite having lurked here since the gg days
