Another HP vid! Warms my lil fangirl heart. <3 When I saw the video was 10 minutes long, I was curious as to how they stretched it out bc it took me all of about 30 seconds to take the quiz myself. (I got a dolphin, which I was disappointed with at the time, but now that I see some of the other options people got, I guess it's not so bad :lol: ). The boys reacting to the animal videos was cute, even if it was just time filler.

Kind of unrelated, but I just impulse bought a ticket to TIIT as a christmas present to myself. I wasn't going to go, as none of my friends are Dan and Phil fans, and I felt weird going by myself and being in my mid-20s. But I checked the website just for shits and grins and there was one seat open in the third row after the VIP section, and it was just too good for me to pass up. It still hasn't really sunk in that I'm actually going to see deppy in real life :faint: If anyone is going to the St. Louis show, maybe we can say hi!

Question about the tour below, I didn't want to take up too much space talking about it since it's not a current topic
I think I remember Dan saying something about audience participation being a thing, but only if the person wanted to? Can someone confirm this or tell me if I imagined it? lol
Normally I would never volunteer myself for that, but I think deppy will be an exception :-D

I definitely recall him saying something on Twitter about there being no forced audience participation. It's likely going to be audience participation in the same vein as tabinof.

The last Pottermore video was surprisingly good imo just because of the pure banter so that's all I really wanted when I clicked this and they delivered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lazy, low effort and somewhat pointless? Yeah, I can agree with that and totally understand the negative reaction I saw some people have towards this. Despite enjoying the first one, my initial reaction when it popped up on my phone wasn't very positive either. A standalone video on a very short quiz... bruh. But like I mentioned yesterday, while I love all the content we get with Gamingmas, I'm at the stage where I'm also a little overwhelmed and this is kinda of like a nice break without being an actual break? I didn't have to concentrate on gameplay to see what the hell is going on (I kinda struggled with that yesterday tbh I kept forgetting who was who) and also pay attention to what they were doing and saying. I just gotta look at them answering questions and some good bantz between them. It's honestly just what I needed and wanted today. The googling cracked me the hell up, it was such a blatant and unashamed attempt to push that shit over the 10 minute edge, but I also couldn't be mad because D&P reacting to animal videos could be an entire new series and I'd live for it.

Good Lord, I have gone soft. My reputation of being a critical stan found dead in a ditch.. but it's been on life support almost the entire year. Maybe it'll be revived when D&P go on tour and potentially leave us in a drought again.

Back to the video, here's commentary:

- is2g their gaming room lighting is getting worse?? It's so ugly. At this point they look more washed out than a kpop idol in pictures after a fansite edits them to erase all the melanin out of their skin.
- "It protects your from the succ." Leave it to Dan to somehow make Dementors kinky. Phil's "Oh." and uncomfortable giggle :')
- "I think the deer is Harry's dad, which is weird. Literal spirit daddy." 1) It's a stag. 2) You think do you? It's only a minor plot point in the series no big deal you fake fanboy you. 3) Don't compare Patronuses with the concept of spirit animals and definitely don't stink your daddy kink in there.
- "The questions are timed, don't say this isn't gaming people!" lmao at this self awareness. :thumb:
- The butterfly comment reminded me of the time someone photoshopped Dan's face on a butterfly as seen in ISG 1.
- "You're full of salt." "Ok yeah thanks bitch." :rofl:
- Dan doesn't tackle things head on and wants to always stay safe. Yeah, we know... *ahum*
- Soul or not, Dan doesn't need to worry. As long as he keeps staring all fond and soft at Phil on a daily basis those Dementors will stay the hell away from him.
- The 'your mum' jokes have really made a comeback recently and idk how I feel about that.
- UUUUUHM. Do you see how Phil's fringe is a bit messy there?? That shit looks 10x better than usual. Sadly only a second later he 'fixes' it. Boo. :sideeye:
- "Petranus." omg they're actually 10 year old..
- "It says Better With Headphones." "Fine, we did it wrong." Phil seems a bit suprised by his own sassy tone and laughs it off.
- "That sounds like a recipe for choking. And not in a fun way." Daniel "I Don't Have A Choking Kink" Howell everyone.
- Dan is very sure that Phil serves rather than protects and I'm very interested in this.
- All of NSFW Phannie Tumblr just got cancelled, turns out D&P are actually vanilla as hell. None of this rough shit. I'll cancel myself too I guess.
- Phil shares with us that he doesn't wanna be in any danger, forgetting that we already know he's the most non confrontational human being on this earth.
- Phil chooses sometimes because he doesn't like the word Forever, and Dan fills in with 'it's a bit of a commitment'. Am I the only one who thought of Phil's little 'marriage is just a piece of paper' thing from a few years back? #phandivorce is only a matter of time :')
- Phil is the heart, Dan is the mind.. they're truly a perfect pair :garbage:
- Siberian Cats are so gorgeous :love2: I don't remember what my Patronus was, but it wasn't a cat and I was pissed about it.
- Dan being a cat anti again. Fight me bitch.
- Phil wished he had a Siberian Cat that hoots because then he'd be a very rich man. CAPITA£ESTER.
- Yes Phil! Come to the cat side! Screw those pesky allergies of yours, cats are worth it.
- Video still didn't hit the 10 minute mark so they just plugged the tour again.

I liked the video! I don't mind that it's obviously low-effort given that they're literally filming, editing and uploading a video every day for almost a month, so it seems understandable to me. Plus, the last few videos have been great in my opinion so this is fine. I'm easy to please though, I love Harry Potter (despite my absolute disdain for J.K Rowling, truly the biggest letdown of my life) so I was keen to find out what their patronuses were and it was overall an entertaining vid. Although I had to laugh at the absolute gall of Phil and his capitalist ways, incredible :') 7/10

(also totally unimportant but i feel the need to point out that a stag is a deer, so technically dan and phil were not incorrect when they referred to harry's patronus as a deer, they just didn't clarify that it was a male deer. anyway.)

1:04 - "the succ"
1:24 - Phil making fun of how Dan is mumble-speaking.
1:32 - Dan asking Phil, "Who's your spirit daddy?"
2:18 - The quiz tells Dan think of his best memory, Phil asks Dan if he's going to share that. Jumpcut away.
2:21 - (Dream/Discover/Dance) Dan picks dream. "I guess."
2:32 - (Sweet/Salt) Phil says Dan is full of salt. "Thanks, bitch."
2:37 - (Think/Feel/Sense) Dan overthinks the 'think' answer and misses the question.
2:50 - (Over/Under/Around) Dan would go around/think outside the box. He doesn't tackle things head on, he sneaks around the side.
3:15 - (Free/Safe) He picks safe instantly. Phil agrees he'd always want to be safe.
3:27 (Hope/Trust/Love) Dan picks trust because the other two are pointless without it.
3:39 - (Frost/Dew) He goes back and forth between them then settles on frost, because dew is nice to look at but not touch.
4:00 - Dan gets an eagle owl.
5:03 - "Patranus."
5:14 - Phil is afraid he'll say things about himself that he doesn't want to.
5:22 - "Stop saying patranus."
5:38 - Phil says his happiest memory is being on a roller coaster and eating popcorn at the same time and we're just gonna skim past how I thought he said peeing on a roller coaster at first and was here for this new kink revelation.
5:45 - Dan thinks popcorn + roller coaster sounds like a recipe for choking "and not in a fun way."
5:46 - (Seek/Protect/Serve) Phil goes for 'protect' right away. ("He protecc. He attacc.") Dan disagrees and says Phil is definitely a 'serve' though Phil argues he's quite protective.
5:57 - (Rough/Smooth) Phil loses it at this question and you cannot tell me his mind went anywhere besides sex to begin with. He picks smooth. Because he doesn't like the feeling of rough objects. And for no other reason. (The Philly doth protest too much, but moving on.)
6:10 - Phil's expression when he says, "I'll go with ROUGH." is so flamboyant and also so great.
6:12 - (Lead/Save/Escape) Escape. He doesn't want to be near any danger. Dan: "Phil wants to escape the pressure of answering these questions."
6:23 - He takes it back to the 'rough' question.
6:33 - (Forever/Sometimes) Phil picks sometimes, because forever sounds scary. Same, dude. Same.
6:41 - Phil dramatically reads 'it's forming, it's forming' and for some reason Dan says "It's coming?" and then starts to say "The way you read that sounded like-" but doesn't finish the sentence.
6:47 - (Mind/Heart/Spirit) He picks heart, because he goes with his heart over his mind which is sometimes a bad thing to do.
7:15 - Phil gets a Siberian Cat. Dan: "a lazy housebound creature that appreciates nothing and scratches you if it doesn't get its own way. i think that is so true."
7:28 - At this point Dan and Phil realized that this quiz was definitely not enough to film an entire video and move on to fill two minutes on wikipedia because life is meaningless if you don't get that ten minute ad break.
7:46 - Dan says Phil could be an agile jumper with his body type.
7:57 - Dan comments on Phil's impressively large, full tail. Heh.
9:05 - Magestic, beautiful, elegant - the complete opposite of Phil, according to Dan.
9:23 - Bad #spon segue. Dan can't handle it, just starts talking over Phil.
quoting all this because YES. there were so many moments to unpack! phil saying he's afraid he'll reveal something spontaneously he doesn't want to? dan's answer about love and trust? protect/serve? free/safe? took long picking 'think', because he was thinking? a smorgasbord of psychoanalysis lol. (agree phil was flamboyant at that one part, i love when he's lose enough to get like that). 6.41 was filth! dan was for sure interpreting phil as saying "i'm coming, i'm coming" - dan trailing off his sentence was telling.

but omg the rough part? wth was that. phil was full-on giggle attack and dan was doing that gorgeous thing he does where his smile is so wide he has to angle his head down in embarrassment. they left it in post editing, despite the utter transparency of the moment, definitely feels like they're shedding major skin.

i guess we know how Phil likes it, now? wowee.
peekatyou wrote: Sun Dec 10, 2017 6:34 pm - 1:56 – I bet Dan thought the moment where Phil spots two mating pigeons wouldn’t be included in the video, hence he didn’t bother to react. That was quite amusing, I strongly believe we saw a little bit of real life Dan there, which we don’t really get in their videos – they’ll delete any millisecond of them not being entertaining.
I have nothing to add, i just really like this observation.

First: me waking up and reading mermaid blood's posts: :inlove:

Second: there’s a post going around tumblr about Dan and Phil doing a podcast, and it’s interesting to me - but I don’t want to piggyback on it since the post is funny and my thoughts are more analytical, so this seemed like a better place to discuss it.

Basically -I get wanting a podcast, because podcasts are a really good way to get a solid chunk of listening time and to hear them talk about things together we don’t normally get to hear them talk about. We lost that with the demise of the radio show.

But would you actually want to see them do a podcast over a liveshows and the gaming channel regularity? The implication of the tumblr post would that it would be better for them to have a podcast than do shitty gaming videos, and I think I disagree- but on top of pure personal preference, I don’t think they would.
“Advertising: on average it’s about a $50 / CPM. 50,000 downloads and you make $2500. Only the top 1% of 1% of podcasts get 50,000 downloads per episode but the number in that 1% of 1% will get higher.”

(From here.)

If you think our lord and savior capita£ester is going to trade 1-2 million monetized views (plus spons) on a platform they’re well established on for roughly $2500 a week for a weekly commitment, even with ad sponsorship, then nahhh. The ‘shitty gaming views’ are only shitty to hardcore fans, they still rake in the views. And the podcast would only appeal to hardcore fans, which is a very limited audience, at least to begin with. There's a chance they could catapult into the top 1% of 1% but it's highly, highly unlikely. People who make that much money off podcasts are mainstream recognizable names, which they are not.

The absolute dream would be a podcast on top of everything else - but that’s unlikely since Dan and Phil are greedy with their time. They don’t even consider it worthwhile to maintain an actual regular liveshow schedule, every month at least one of them is skipping out. So it would definitely come at the expense of either liveshows (possibly realistic) or gaming videos (extremely unrealistic). As much as I hate the premium questions in liveshows sometimes, I still feel like the chance to hear them talk individually for an hour a week (give or take their no show weeks) is more valuable than a podcast and I feel like the gaming channel is a less intensive and easier way for them to make the money that keeps them on the platform.

They also seem actively uninterested in doing podcasts themselves. They've never been a guest on even one and nobody can tell me that they haven't been asked (nay, begged) over the years. I think the fact they make such a point of saying that their liveshows can just be listened to 'like a podcast' means they're aware of the demand and are trying to appeal to that need without actually changing anything. Like 'oh people like podcasts? Well this is basically a podcast so uh you're welcome enjoy'. Anyway I hope whatever people are talking about or wanting is a video podcast (could you link the tumblr post?), because I'm here to look at their faces first and foremost. Like do whatever content you want guys as long as there is Ample Face.

I agree, they don't seem to want to do a podcast at all - probably partly for money reasons and partly because they don't feel passionate about the format, which is fair enough.

I love listening to podcasts, particularly while I'm walking or working out so I wouldn't mind an audio-only format if they did ever change their mind (which I don't see them doing). But to be honest, I'm bored of YouTubers, even YouTubers I love, making podcasts of essentially them talking about nothing, or them giving their hot takes on YouTube issues, which seem to be the two genres of YouTube podcasts as I've seen them.

I'd prefer D&P to do a podcast because they wanted to do one, and talking about something they were interested in - e.g. off the top of my head, horror films - because it's always more interesting to hear people talk about something they're passionate about. But that would only appeal to a really niche part of their audience compared to a 'let's sit around and have bants' type of podcast, so it's even less likely they'd do something like that.

lol yeah, they definitely don't want to do a podcast - the only further step they could make would be to throw out an audio version of the liveshow somewhere downloadable. It'd be a shitty podcast but it might appease people.

I'm sorry if I sound a little bit ignorant but: where do you listen to podcasts? Is it on iTunes, SoundCloud, etc? Who are these big mainstream personalities that do podcasts? I ask because it's really not that popular where I come from and I haven't been too familiar with it.

Also, is it listen-only, like a radio show? If so, then no, I definitely don't want that replacing liveshows. Part of the appeal of liveshows to me is the fact that I can see their faces; it feels like talking to someone you "know" (as silly as it sounds) and idk, I like that, as infrequently as they go live.

Both of those are places to listen to podcasts, but there are dozens(if not more) of other places. I use an app, Pocket Casts, on my phone. Yeah, they're audio-only, like radio shows. They're generally free to download, and they're especially good if you have a long commute to school or work, or to listen to something while you do something else, like housework, exercise, or crafting(in my case). But, even the big ones are still fairly niche.

I definitely re-listen to their liveshows like podcasts, occasionally, and that's nice, but I wouldn't want a podcast to replace either the liveshows OR the gaming vids. I don't actually watch many other youtube gaming videos, unless I'm trying to figure out how to do something in a game I'm actually playing. I watch them for them. I've tried other Let's Players and I usually end up bored.

I listen through Apple's podcast app (I guess that's iTunes) but yeah, there and SoundCloud or even just watching on YT. There are as many podcasts as there are YT channels (I just made that up, but there's A Lot). I don't know what 'mainstream' means in podcasting since it depends what you're listening to- there are podcasts for everything, like true crime, tv/movie reviews, pure episodic fiction stuff, everything. And of course there are all the podcasts from comedians/actors/YTers just talking about nothing (which is fine). If you'd like to get an idea of what a YTer one might entail, you could check out a few, like Grace (Not Too Deep) or Jenna and Julien's. Or whoever else you might watch on YT, just google it, at least one of them probably has a podcast, or has been a guest on one. I'm literally watching/listening to Boys Only Club right now. So if D&P did do a podcast (they won't), there's plenty of precedent to do it on video as well as uploading the audio to wherever.

I don't know, do people want them to do a podcast because they (people) think they (D&P) would be more forthcoming in some way that they aren't in videos/liveshows? Because they won't be lol. Maybe there'd be some radio show-esque moments, but those moments I think mostly came from the radio show being live. A recorded/edited podcast would be the same as their joint videos. Planned and performed. Be careful what you wish for and all that. You'll have pry their 'shitty gaming videos' from my cold dead hands.

I think that's my biggest issue with it. People seem to be equating podcast with something more, but I'm pretty sure it would just equate to something less. The liveshows stay engaging for the same reason the radio show did, the spontaneity of them being live and to some extent the viewer interaction that probably keeps it from seeming too routine and predictable for Dan and Phil.

A podcast would definitely be something they could plan ahead and edit into exactly what they wanted. The only way to recapture radio show magic would be... another radio show.

I never listen to podcasts so I'm not exactly sure how they work. I do know some other Youtubers do them and I don't know how well those do but if it's true that podcasts generally don't earn a lot of money, I can't imagine Dan and Phil doing them. I also don't believe podcasts would appeal to as many as people as the gaming videos, especially not to casual viewers (aka the majority of viewers).

In addition, I don't get the hate that the gaming channel seems to get from some people. I do agree that not every video is all that great and that they could play a bigger variety of games but I generally enjoy most videos and appreciate the fact that we get to see them together, doing something they like and on more frequently than on their main channels.

I would prefer them sticking with liveshows and gaming videos rather than podcasts. The only way I'd be okay with podcasts is if they were on top of the other things, or if they were filmed as well. But even if they're filmed, I don't think we will be getting anything more personal or insightful than we get in liveshows, so I'm good with them just sticking to the liveshows.

What I'd actually want in terms of podcasts is them being on other people's podcasts, because then there is a chance for a less scripted version, with them possibly being forced (forced is the wrong word, but you know) to answer questions and talk about things they wouldn't usually talk about without being prepared - but this is exactly why they haven't been on any podcasts yet and probably never will, unless they are given the option of full control while being the guest

I do love podcasts I listen to them while working, would I like dnp to do one maybe? If It didn’t interfere with their other content. They make main videos like once a month and gaming videos ones a week. Would I rather a podcast replace gaming videos or live streams no way! Sorry a podcast is a good addition but not a great replacement. All though I love listening to them talk I would rather listen to a live show(they control what they talk about and viewers can ask questions)a podcast would be very minored they would have to stay on topic and be very careful about what is said. Then it would be edited and nothing about it would be genuine. If people want a podcast coz they think they are gonna sit and talk about their domestic life style for 40-60 mins thats not gonna happen. I wasnt around when the radio show was live so I don’t know the love of getting excited to watch and listen to them but I don’t think it would have the same feel.
I haven’t really heard anyone say they want them to do a podcast so would it be something people are interested in?
Would they have the time with their tour?

My opinion if it didn’t interpret their other content now I would be down

Thank you so much for your anwers, @Kimship and @fancybum! I will check out the podcasts you suggested. Also agree that I don't think it gets more forthcoming or spontaneous than liveshows, so if certain people are looking for a more unfiltered D&P, liveshows and some gaming livestreams is as far as you're gonna get, imo.
IF they did anything like that it would have to be more into the future, like after the tour obviously.

And after @alittledizzy 's mention of the radio show I just want that again so bad. I didn't enjoy it live and only got really into D&P when they did their last show; damn took it for granted.

I remember them hinting at something that could happen during the tour to replace liveshows in their joint liveshow promo. At the time I thought podcast. Any ideas on what else it could be?

Thanks to dizzy for the timestamp:

20:17 - Channel schedules; keep gaming rough schedule it has, just as many videos. Some livestreams, or something. They are bringing 'wifi things' out. Liveshows or something different. Phil says: "Something... wait and see. We've got some ideas."

Also has this link been shared? It has quite a good excerpt from his talk at UK On Stage.

Same! It's very touching to read about the impact Dan's video had on his audience/peers and the impact their response has had on him. :happytears:

As I met more of my viewers over the years, I realised they considered me a close friend and an important part of their lives.

He is truly inspiring. Wish there was a video.

Also,

DnP's most liked instagram photos of 2017:
Remarkable that none of Dan's top ones were with Phil, while Dan is in more than half of Phil's top photos.

My favorites are definitely in there; Phil with baby, Phil's oldschool quiff, Dan's donut, the one with the striped top and the masterpiece that is 'fuckboi on a chair'.

I don't know why people go on about dan and phil becoming irrelevant, the gaming channel is dying, so on and so forth. It just isn't dan and phil-its youtube as a platform. I know I've used this example before but they are getting the same amount of view as Jacksepticeye, who has 13 million more subscribers. I think dan and phil are actually doing really well when compared to the likes of other youtubers who have been around for as long as deppy. With people not getting videos in their sub box, to views being calculated differently, I think its actually pretty hard to stay afloat unless you have a semi large audience, which dan and phil do. This is coming from posts I see on Tumblr and Twitter that really start to grate on you.

Yeah I'm not surprised. Dan has more casual followers where as Phil has more followers that care about the ship. Disappointing but true. Also other than the Wimbledon one, all the other ones with Phil are promo for something.
