Dan: Well, Now What?

Dan: Well, now what?

Phil: What do we do?

Dan: So, guys... what if DanAndPhilGAMES just became Dan and Phil?

Phil: What if it was just Dan and Phil with games? 


Dan: What if we just committed?

Phil: To doing stuff.

Dan: What if we put a ring on it?

Phil: Put a ring on the chan.

Dan: We're actually just gonna do Dan and Phil content.

Phil: Yeah, properly. 


Dan: Not that there's anything wrong with the last year of content, because don't get me wrong... Gaming, great. I think we always do gaming.

Phil: 
There will always be gaming, for sure.

Dan: Because let's be honest, playing long horror games as probably the most successful type of content on YouTube.

Phil: But we wanna do more with the channel.

Dan: But we can do more with that.

Phil: So, I think that's, we...

Dan: There's nothing wrong with cosy and casual, okay?

Phil: But what if we had both? 


Dan: But Dan and Phil playing card games isn't the extent of our creative ambition.

Phil: We have more in our brain minds.

Dan: So what does this mean? 
When does this mean? Well, here is the thing, guys, we literally just got back from this tour, and then we've literally been editing the show and preparing for this night, and here we are with you hanging out with this thing. So, uhh, give give us a minute, so like, you know, work it out. I was like, Phil, you know what would be so dramatic?

Phil: What?

Dan: Just hiatus 2? 
Just while we were-

Phil: No, we can keep making gaming videos until we're ready.

Dan: So, if you love the kind of Dan and Phil struggling to make content while they're busy doing something else, laps up more content.

Phil: And we're still in the whiteboard phase, so there's... you'll see, you'll see when it's done.

Dan: Don't get me wrong. 
If you absolutely love the type of shit we've been doing for the last year and a half, we're still going to do that.

Phil: That's sticking around.

Dan: We're just gonna do more other stuff.

Phil: More stuff.

Dan: God knows..

Phil: Alright, I wasn't expecting to talk about that right now.

Dan: What do you mean? 
We promised them tea.

Phil *miming giving the chat tea*: Okay, there's the tea.
