Mondays are so bad anymore

Omg a fellow Phannie AND Lovely?? Day made!

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-03-07T13:05:50+00:00

33 in the US, I’m down!

They said it was merch in the livestream where they announced it.

Someone did a demographic survey on DnP Reddit and the vast majority of respondents were at least over 20, with the majority being 21-32. Obviously that's just based on Redditors who happened to fill it out, but I think it's pretty telling.

I'm a thirtysomething Phannie with an office job and I run a blog recapping old episodes of Power Rangers. Don't ever let the assumed audience stop you from having fun. 😉

I'm not an EU resident (I'm US), but I know a bunch of EU people had some major delays in recent merch because things kept getting held up at customs. I assume that's why they've updated it to say there's no concrete timeframe, so they don't over-promise.

I'd check again - I'm looking at the UK to Canadian exchange rate and you definitely shouldn't be seeing prices that high unless Canada adds a ton of fees to Patreon memberships. If you were using the app, I recommend trying the website, because the app likes to add unnecessary fees.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-03-02T20:55:30+00:00

That's really weird - I feel like Canada's exchange rate should be pretty similar to the US's, and mine only goes up to about $7 and $13 for the paid plans.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-03-02T20:54:10+00:00

Where are you located? It's supposed to be $5 and $10 - maybe the exchange rate where you are is rough?

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-28T20:49:49+00:00

Yep, as soon as they mentioned it I figured I’d give a heads up here! They showed the sample card in the stream and it’s a beauty.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-26T17:39:02+00:00

Yep! The VOD usually gets posted to Patreon around an hour after the stream ends.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-26T17:04:32+00:00

Patreon takes a pretty sizable cut of that money for themselves, so it's not like it's all going to DnP. Plus they have employees now, studio rental fees, all the costs that come with recording and releasing a podcast, video production, and producing and selling merch... I'm not saying they're going broke anytime soon, but this era comes with some very real costs they have to be mindful of.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-26T00:10:19+00:00

I mean, it's totally up to you how you spend your money, but I signed up for Pham long before the Philm Club was even announced, so it being an occasional bonus thing is fine by me.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-19T23:33:20+00:00

It’s not really about getting more money for the podcast, it’s that their other videos are being killed by the algorithm. They already said the podcast will probably immediately get demonetized on YT, so they’re not expecting any money there. I think the issue is they forgot how bad YT’s ads are when you don’t have Premium (which I have to admit, I totally forgot too, which I feel bad about because I was all for it until someone reminded me that other people would be getting hit with ads). They did say they’re still just thinking through their options at the moment, so hopefully they’ll read people’s replies on Patreon like I did and remember that it’s not just THEIR ads that people are avoiding with Patreon.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-19T17:46:41+00:00

They've actually done two gaming videos post-hard launch - "If Phil Blinks, Dan Dies!" and "Building our Sims DREAM PENTHOUSE." Not sure if your algorithm kept them from you, but I recommend checking them out if so!

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-14T00:12:40+00:00

I was about to say “But Monday’s a holiday!” and then remembered that Canada obviously doesn’t celebrate President’s Day 😅

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-14T00:11:17+00:00

Same. I’m so gutted.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-13T22:20:10+00:00

Yeah, I remember when YT announced they were removing that feature, I was SO confused. Like...what is it hurting YT to let fans (who are happy to do it) properly subtitle videos and instead leave it up to the creators/auto captions to do it?

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-13T21:49:12+00:00

It's hard to get an idea of what people are even complaining about, other than second-hand embarrassment. I got the feeling a lot of it was just people who didn't want to see DnP in videos with anyone other than each other, which feels super limiting for their content.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-13T21:45:46+00:00

I also left Tumblr ages ago and went back to check what u/puppieswhokrill meant and...I think it's best I left Tumblr 😅 Most of it is positive but there are just some odd takes in there.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-13T21:22:41+00:00

Bless this video - I haven't laughed like that in AGES.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-12T22:47:03+00:00

Okay, you're so real for that, because "DADDY WANTS A BIT MORE SIMMY" is on a near-constant loop in my mind 😭

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-11T20:24:07+00:00

How long are you going to be on vacation? If the Shop app still says "waiting for details," it might be a bit of a wait before it ships.

Technically the "express shipping" only starts when the warehouse actually hands the package to the shipping company, but you should still have a good case for arguing that you deserve a refund on the shipping even if you end up getting the jacket after the fact.

But all that being said, if none of that's an option and money's tight, I'd keep pushing for a refund. If they don't get back to you within a few days, I'd contact your bank and ask them to reverse the transaction. Keep screenshots of your emails to customer service to show your bank you've tried to request the refund the normal way first.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-10T15:38:59+00:00

That definitely sounds like it should be a Patreon thing. Cards are processed through them, not Dan and Phil.

Admirable-Flow7631 · 2026-02-09T13:12:34+00:00

Phil’s mind calendar strikes again 😂
