yeeees can’t wait!!!
BUT THATS JUST A THEORY
*A GAME THEORYYYY*
Ahhhh I’m so excited
BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY A ANTHONY PADILLA: I SPENT A DAY WITH MATPAT FROM THE GAME THEORIST THEORY. THANKS FOR READING
YAYAYAYYAYA MATPATTT
anthony’s videos usually have a air of professionalism, and not to say he’s not being professional here, but at a certain point this video feels a lot more like two old friends just chatting rather than the typical interview. it’s very fun 🙂
True and I love it!
They have been through a similar YouTube life years and all, also they were very much associated with one another for 13 years with people constantly comparing their appearance Dan and Phil were like the Smosh for the UK
It’s a testimony to the authenticity of the exchange !
Haha yes I was going to say, this video has a different vibe from Anthony’s other videos. Both are good!
Watching these two interact felt like such a healing experience that reached my inner child
I feel like this is a perfect way to actually be an LGBTQ+ ally. Listening and bouncing off of what we actually say. Rather than just screaming “I love gay” “gay people are cool.” It’s so refreshing to see a straight creator actually act in a genuinely respectful way
@Elise Code had the same opinion seeing his interview with non binary people lmao
he’s bisexual
@Hannah Fritz this man is sweeter than honey tf you mean. Is he out?????????????????????????????
Right? It’s so great to feel like a person and not a fetish when being spoken too/about
@And so it begins begone terf
Dan is such a chaotic guest which is hilarious and Anthony just makes it 10x better with his chill personality 😂
Bot
@Kimberly you’re responding to a bot
the contrast made it such a fun interview 😂
As someone who turns 40 next year and is just now embracing my gender identity, I need people like Dan as a role model. Thank you for being you out loud!
❤
@Lauren Gibson excellent advice!
You’re a wonderful, loved, and valid person! Be kind and I love you. Big hugs for you.
@Lauren Gibson W reply hope you’re having a good day
@Veronica R. You too mf 💪😤😤
Really love this video you both have great chemistry. Thank you for this conversation.
wow love u johnnie
dan talking about not wanting to be perceived but also craving attention literally sums up the introvert experience
Fr
@Chad King wrong.
@Chad King You dont know that
that feeling when you want the attention on you, but when it is actually on you, you just wanna run away
No. You just need validation because you’re insecure.
Listening to Dan talk is like getting secondhand therapy
Between the show and You Will Get Through This Night, I’ve experienced such a shift in my mental health. For the first time in my life, I feel like I actually have the tools to make positive, lasting changes on the dumpster fire that is my life.
All this from the guy I started watching 12 years ago for his relatable, “lol random” humour. What a journey
Man, that last part really just drove home for me how unexpected yet incredible Dan’s journey and impact both are. He can genuinely say that he’s helped hundreds of thousands (if not millions!) of people transform their lives. :’)
I remember back in 2013/2014 being 17/18 at college, Dan & Phil’s radio one show was my favourite thing to watch on a Sunday. I would go to the laundry room with my laptop and sit and watch them while I waited for my clothes to wash and dry. Having them be part of my routine helped keep me going when I was in one of my worst places mentally as the routine and the feeling of not being alone meant so much to me then. I’m 27 now and having Dan come back in the last few months to semi regular posting has been great
l
Yesss I was 14-15 then and I watched their radio show a lot. I was sad when it ended lol
Ahh I remember tuning in for their radio show too! I still remember the songs ppl would create fanmade videos for and send in! Dan and Phil’s videos – as well as those of a bunch of other youtubers circa 2012-2014 – likely helped me way more than I realized at the time, bc looking back, I definitely had anxiety but didn’t know that it was a thing others experienced or how to talk about it. Seeing Dan talk about relatable feelings made me feel less alone and distracted me from my own overthinking/thought spirals. And now watching this, I totally agree with Dan that the jokes about depression/mental health helped put some of the mental health terms on the table for me to eventually finally seek therapy in more recent years 🙂 so big, big thanks to Dan for being one of the sources of joy in my life in those vulnerable preteen to teenager years and inadvertently teaching me things about life :’)
One of my tweets ended up on the radio show and I remember being so happy. Still have my screenshot of the last moments of the final radio show too.
i relate so much to that experience!! how beautiful that we’ve all made it this far together
I hope Dan knows how many people he has helped throughout the years. Dan and his community has always been a safe space for LGBTQIA+ people even before he came out and I love it so much.
@shauna linay I’m being perceived 🧍🏻♀️
What’s up I follow u on twt lmao
@Emma McGee We need a collective term for it. I vote for “Curved people” as opposed to “Straight people”
e.g. 1. We need to secure that the Curved community has no violance committed against them.
e.g. 2. Curved people make up 60% of the game’s player base.
@Abeer Zeeshan I’m not sure when, a few years ago, but they mean intersex and asexual/aromantic
