This episode of the phodcast felt like reuniting with an old friend <3

(I miss his skits from the 'reason's why dan's a fail (yay!)' era every day)

(24 feb, 2026)

rewatched the shut up im talking dan and phil feature today and i really like how many moments there are where dan and others refer to phil's authority (or expertise i guess) and phil is giving really good and heartfelt advice too, on what it means to pursue something creatively and forming an actual community of audience that stays and grows with you

dan answers specific questions to the hiatus and burn out and authenticity but more often on how it is Phil who speaks on more about Youtube broadly and to give advice and on being the #1 believer of Let's Try This Before Fully Giving Up

it really is a nice episode and i think very good representative of Dan and Phil beyond the bits they do; the efforts the beliefs and the smarts going into building a successful (and important!) career out of something that wasn't even conceivable when they started

#special mention to how keenly dan listens every time phil speaks too #like yes they do admire each other and see each other's potential and caliber more than anyone else #no interruptions in sight lol (but he does fail to resist the gremlin in him during the patreon which was hilarious)#dan and phil #phil lester

ant-the-ant

Guys, it's getting toxic again

We all know the couple's pose was a big scary deal for them, plus Phil has recently become more stressed about his hand placement, even asking people not to comment on it at some point (I think flower show pic).

So the moment they finally hit a relaxed pose with no awkwardness and no hand issues, people find other things to nit-pick, like the fact that they seemingly only know one pose (which, if you look at the video, is just not fair anyway), or something about the angle of Phil's head.

Yes, the hand thing has been funny in the past, but banter comes with nuance and I feel strongly that people overshot it here. Let them fall back on their safety poses if the one thing they do differently that night is a big and scary deal. Joke about poses another time.

If you think it's "not that deep", kindly move along - the fact that I'm posting it means I think it is.
