Hey guys, I just hope 2019's treating you well if you're a good person
that-that came out a bit weird, sorry.
i'm sure you're a great person and even if you're in some moral grey zone just aim for the light
2019's treating me well, actually.
for the first few weeks of january i thought;
'you know wot? i'm gonna have some private philly time'
now that sounded better in my head...
private philly time? just. some. relaxing.
funny thing about being a human isn't it? that you can go through all of this stuff,
and not realize how tired you are until when you stop, your body goes
AHHHH
i just went into full shut down mode like, phil is not responding. press restart.
so here i am. this is the first thing i'm doing. peeking outta my moss ball. and coming back to youtube.
and the first thing i wanted to do was get rid of the (vicious slap of bed) bed
i'm sick of the bed had enough of the bed. i wanna spring clean, i wanna refresh. i just want it to look different
'but phil wE LOVE THE BED WHY WOULD YOU GET RID OF THE BED'
um...
that was intense
many reasons.... (thinks of said 'many reasons')
(chuckle) i was like- i said many reasons then my mind went completely blank
uh- firstly, its a bit weird having a tripod and camera and lights just facing your bed all the time
umm... (chuckle) that's always raised some questions when people have visited the house when they don't really know what i do
looks a bit like a porn set and- its a little bit sexy isn't it? like
(seductive voice) 'hello. welcome to my boudoir'
some people are like 'phil, are you mature now? do you hate bright colours?'
nO! that's not true.
this is me. like, i love bright colours, i love this aesthetic
bUT, i'm just gonna tweak it a bit.
also, it's doing my back in. i'm also not scottish so i don't know why i did it in that accent.
but yeah, i'm constantly hunching over and i dont wanna turn into mr. burns from making videos sall that time like this
i need some back support in my life. [i need some parental support i mean what who said that]
sO, i thought it was time to graduate from a bed, to a chair.
*dramatic music*
that's exciting, new background. i decided to tweet you what do you think my background should look like?
and of course you guys delivered, so lets have a look at what you said.
97% of you said a dog
should i just become a dog channel? [yes pls] lets just- just forget me and just put a dog of the screen and see what happens
*jazzy music*
@dumbassphilly great username. thank you.
'one of these fun guys'
whenever i see one of these in front of a car dealership i feel like its going to detach from its platform and wrap its wobbly arms around my neck and choke me to death [kinky]
lex said 'just recreate this'
and then- (chuckles) Melanie said 'bUT THE PIC IN THE BACK IS HIM WITH HIS EMO HAIR'
'YES'
you really want (giggles) that to be my background. just like-
i dont' wanna be reminded of that bird nest that used to be on my head.
oooOOoohhh amy (attemps pronouncing capricious) whAT DOES THAT WORD EVEN MEAN?
that's one of those words that i see all the time and im like 'yeah i know what that means' but i dont, like lets be honest.
(singing amazing(phil)ly) english language degree is coming into full use.
capricious. given to sudden and unaccountable changes of mood or behaviour
thumbs this up if you just learnt something.
'cause i sure did.
uhhh- no. why do you hate me, amy?
ooOOoh, rhiannan. there we go. first good inspiration. cactus fairy lights! i like those!
but i do have an actual large cactus light somewhere so maybe i could utilise that.
'a bitch' oh- (chuckles) @darlingbakugou 'candles's.
there'll definitely be more than one candle in the background otherwise i'm betraying my whole personality.
a lot of you said plants, including rosie. you said 'all the houseplants you've killed'
what- just have a houseplant graveyard behind me?
i think i need to find some kind of plant that doesn't die, or maybe a fake houseplant.
@smallbookling said 'the goddamn pickle'
(v intense saying of 'nOOO' whilst the yodeling pickle does it's native yodel)
both freddy and kenzy said ' a lava lamp'. i would actually like a new lava lmap so lets have a look. what can we find?
wall lava lamp. i'm foreseeing a concussion and me being covered in melted wax so no.
i mean if that didn't cost 9 million pounds it would be pretty amazing
these are all so satisfying to look at i kinda wanna eat them
do you get that feeling like that you just wanna like put it in your mouth
uh- (giggles to heaven) i'm gonna go with- oOOoh yeah.
that one is tickling my not-yodeling pickle.
i'm gonna go with that. neo.
okay, lava lamp. thank you.
uh... (laughs) that is an actual masterpeice
i hope that meme never dies
is it already dead? i hope it's not dead.
uhh- oH NO. tommo, cat. cAT NOOOO.
'cool cloud lights like this' said lissa.
ooOOOooh that is amazing
wOW THEY'RE Big. okay they're a bit too big for my room..
that'll be 757- good try... elin. [elin you are me queen and i love you]
megan with free dan and phil in your name. why- why do we need freeing? what happened?
uh- (giggles) do i wanna know?
chesquik? ugh, i could almost gag. that is the worst thing ive ever seen
liss says ' a giant d-' eemonitisation.
and no, that would not look appropriate for the aesthetic i'm going for.
so, thats some inspo. right, now let me have a look at the shops.
plant pot bluetooth speaker? i feel like thats too many things in one. sometimes i dont trust things when they are too many things at the same time
like , what are you hinding? why can you do so much?
firebox is usually cool to find cool stuff, like a penis pillow. that is not gonna go in my background
llama planter. old dan meets new phil?
i love that spyro the dragon controller holder- thiS IS NOT the time. i'm not shopping i;m shopping for a background.
dinosaur lamp. yEEESS.
i'm feeling this, guys.
i love dinosaurs and i love this colour so that is going straight in my pocket
is it's face a bit phallic? maybe... i dont care...
penis dinosaur, come to my house.
ugh 'helping hands wall decorations'? that is so creepy. what are they helping you with?
(strange voice) jUsT a LiTtLe TiCkLe
see, the room wasn't complete until we get a flying flamingo above our heads
has science gone too far
that leopard is not being payed enough
im into that pencil pot, but also it looks kinda painful for the dog.
i wanted something to put a candle in and this is really cool its got metallics and blue and green
so that- add to trolley (giggles) how british
(british accent by british person) i'm gonna put that right in my trolley
if that giraffe table wasn't 260 pounds i would put it right in my basket
(singing) do i want naked handstand man?
(contemplates decision)
probably not...
right, what's some kind of vase to put some real plants in?
i'm loving that but it's the wrong vibe
okay, that looks awesome. that could be like, the centre-piece of everything
definitely want one of those.
oh, you could get it in red as well. hmmmm, no i like that
okay, ive added a few things i didn't film because i want a few of it to be a surprise
um, but i think we're ready.
so we just need to wait for the post person now to deliver them.
i'm just gonna be sat by the letter box like
*mysterious music*
hopefully it wont all take too long i think it was like, 2-3 days [weird flex but okay]
so, i'll see you in a few days.
unless i die. hopefully i wont die
see ya
so when i take my hand off the camera i'm gonna be in my new place and also magically 3 days older.
aaaannnnddd hERE I AM!!
five days later, things took a lot more time to arrive then i thought they would
but, (demonic phil) check it out
im in ma new home (giggles)
(chuckles) orrr new piece of wall
but yeah! what'd you think? i hope you like it, i like it.
thanks for your suggestions i think its come out very well.
and im impressed with myself for putting this together.
with a little bitta help from danny boi
i mean, this was probably a mistake.
have i not learnt my lesson from having plants in the background?
im sorry if [when*] you slowly die
lava lamp was a great choice, if you ever get bored of me talking you can just focus on that blobbing in the background.
(a blobbing lava lamp)
so a little tour of the shelf of dreams, which was a steal by the way. it was 18 pounds!
what a bargain (continuously slapping said shelf)
we got the balls™. you might remember them from our old apartment
got a scented candle burning so if we ever get a smellivision in the future you could have a good old sniff of that.
these two are a match made in heaven. that went really well. i'm loving this vibe.
this i think is the thing im most impressed in. this looks so real!
if i havent told you this was fake you would totally believe that this is a real cactus
and it doesnt spike you so you can cuddle it at night
this guy's kinda blending into the background soo i might change him to something- dont listen, you're valid.
and then lion, of course because i would never abandon my child.
there was one disappointment which i think im just gonna have to show you.
remember the vase, the vase i was so excited for? the centre-piece of the whole look?
(phil of the past) t h e c e n t r e - p i e c e
well....
*sLAP*
whAT AM I GONNA DO WITH THIS?!
oh timothy, i'll display my single blade of grass.
it's so small! i had no- like, this is a lesson in read the dimensions, people.
because- are you serious? is this like a joke gift?
i also got this crappy (giggles) thing.
i was like 'oH mY gOD i can put that inside the pot!'
i'm obviously still learning when it comes to interior design because this was a flop.
literally, its flopping, look how droopy that is.
performance issues.
but apart from those fails i'm very happy!
so for the channel, nothings gonna drastically change. i'm still gonna make things that i enjoy making.
i might try some new things out, just like dipping my toe into the river to see if there's any crabs.
that would be a bad thing, what's a good thing to dip your toe into?
there's any honey that you can... lick off your feel
this is- i shouldn't do metaphors
also, if you guys have got any video ideas you want me to make this year, leave them in the comments below!
'cause you've always got greats suggestions.
yeah, i'm just really excited to get beck into it now. after my little resticle
uh (giggles)
um, another thing that i've done is enable channel memberships, so if you wanna stand out in the comments
you can now have little cactus symbols next to your name
and the longer you have it the better symbol you get until you unlock
~*~THE GOLDEN CACTUS~*~
which i may have spend an entire say designing.
also you get emojis, im gonna do some merch discounts for you guys and ALSO, im going to be posting some exclusive things in the community tab
it's optional, im still going to be posting on all the other websites as well but i thought i'd add this for people who want it.
so if you wanna check that out there's a link below.
also, amazingphilshop and danielhowellshop are still smooshed together until february
so if you wanna get 20% off anything in any of the stores just enter the code 'HAPPYNEWYEE' at the checkout
and (giggles) sorry that was my idea
and you'll get 20% off
so im gonna go now, i hope you're all good. make sure to subscribe to my channel if you wanna see more of my face [i know you want to]
in this... space.
and i'll see you next time, where i hope this plant will still be alive.
wish me luck.
goodbye!
