"Visual white noise" is SUCH a good way of describing the view going past on a bus trip. There's something so weirdly calming about it. Loved this talk, looking forward to more!

[@GreenWolfDen]

I am yet to be disappointed [ey!] about a Chloe/Dan collab.

[@sugarlady16]

Please. Please. Start. A. Podcast. (Please).

[@rachelc1868]

I second this😍

[@aisling_90]

Third this 👌🏽

[@ravenhairedminx]

fourth this. I could listen to you two talk for hours

[@helenjames6982]

Fifth this

[@erinpennington19]

“I haven’t had an idea since lockdown started” BIG MOOD I’ve done one year of A-Level and there were very few thinky-thoughts throughout that time, not gonna lie

[@Nyanga456]

I definitely thought Dan said Erotic rather than Neurotic for his one word that defines him...

[@DanLayton]

Not untrue

[@alexfido2935]

Watching this, I'm left thinking it is a fucking SHAME Chloe wasn't a regular on the Man Time Podcast. The one episode she was on is still my absolute favourite episode of any podcast ever, and the chemistry and the hilarity of you both is fantastic, and I would love to have that on a regular basis.

[@hsimpson6581]

I would have been in for an hour of this "SMALL Talk" 12min was so not enough.

[@nudgificator]

Something about the way Chloe read the wildlife question gave strong Bill Bailey vibes.

[@rachelc1868]

The rejection story reminded me that I also got rejected from uni the first time I applied and the best thing I learned from that was " rejection is redirection ". One year later I went on to study a different course that I loved and even got to go on exchange to Canada which was the best year of my life. I'm now so so glad I got that rejection because I may never had made such amazing friends on the other side of the world! It's funny how things work out in the end!:) .... hilarious video I love you guys' friendship I can't help but laugh with you

[@DanLayton]

That's a GREAT mantra!!

[@ellameyer742]

Do I drink? No. Do I know either of you in any capacity? Also no. Does this video make me want to have a pint and reminisce about old times together? Yes.

[@TheTomLees]

I'd like to make it known that when Chloe started saying "My default setting is just..." an ad popped up and the first word it said was "MONEY!"

[@zoejenkins3641]

This video gave me the same feeling as meeting up with a few close friends after lockdown. You know that moment when you get to sit back and observe people that you respect and care about have a great laugh and a chat with each other and you’re a part of it but you’re also just appreciating how great it is. It just feels so lovely. Great video guys and thanks for giving me that feeling again!

[@DanLayton]

thank YOU, this was very nice to say

[@hollyabbott2769]

I love the conversation about how lockdown has impacted creativity and focus, it is a fascinating thing we've all shared yet all our experiences are unique. Mad. I really do love this series x

[@Ermlet24]

You've instantly made me want to go catch the bus, not even check where it's heading, just see where my body and mind ends up. Thanks for capturing a lovely chat, not spon by conversation cards.

[@KateDStephens]

Totally agree! I've just started swimming which has the same effect as the massage situ. Or so i thought. There was a man also swimming in the pool the other day who brought a dictaphone along and would stop every so often to pause and record his thoughts. That's next level.

[@koplomps]

Dan I know this is your video, but god I've missed Chloe. Lovely to see you two ❤️

[@hazelpaulband]

i love your friendship. a lot. you guys are great.

[@pouredoutmywindow]

This is why it takes me ages to read a chapter, as soon as I’ve read past the first paragraph I have a million thoughts I literally feel my brain open and don’t realise I have a book in my hand but I’m staring blankly at the wall for 10 minutes at a time I look crazy and am often reminded by my parter

[@alicenham]

My favourite duo to hear talk about anything... You never disappoint, always make me laugh and feel a bit human for a time. Thank you for that

[@una_10bananas]

Ye might have the best friendship I've ever seen, this had me cracking up and agreeing and everything, brilliant conversation 🥰

[@Meg.01]

I was soo excited at this notification, you two together is such a treat, the pancakes and syrup of KZbin

[@kryptotastic8556]

i adore you guys to bits. ive been watching your PMS series along with everyone elses and im craving for that content again.

[@DanLayton]

I've watched a LOT of PMS from various people this year! I miss it too

[@kryptotastic8556]

@@DanLayton oh, how did it feel watching yourself living a pre pandemonium life? sounds like it'd be a weird kind of FOMO lol

[@mvwinf]

does this mean chloe's my good friend? I'd love that 😊

[@TheCharleyparley]

I love watching you guys chat it’s very calming

[@abbystevely7018]

a Duck couple = a Duple thank you for coming to my TED Talk

[@raikaparzella]

I missed You two together. It’s just this sort of conversation that relaxes me and excites me all the same

[@dubbie7879]

YES FINALLY SOME MORE DAN AND CHLOE

[@anna-maymoon1001]

The bathroom is a wonderful place - leave your phone out of it and do your normal boring bathroom stuff and your brain will be on fireeee (depending on time of day and if you've had enough sleep) idk I think we fill our world with so much noise that it's hard to actually think about thinky things?

[@sophiaannarose]

Oh my gosh, I love this. Videos like this is what KZbin is all about, and they’re so rare now! More, more, more please!

[@sophiaannarose]

I’m having such a bad day and have watched this 3 times for comfort. THANK YOU DAN & CHLOE

[@albablabla]

I could seriously watch you two talk for hours. This is such a treat!

[@annierebekahhh]

I just want to spend a week with you 2, honestly you seem to have the best anecdotes 😭😂

[@Wurmland]

After a horrific day coming home to this really lifted my spirits, thanks Dan :]

[@DanLayton]

Here's to tomorrow

[@emskistay]

The duck improve had me cackling 😂

[@ksongbird]

I love the implication that birds are not animals. (I would also love if you two did a podcast)

[@rachelc1868]

Hey Dan just wanted to say your videos are really cheering me up at the moment. I'm stuck at home with covid and they are really helping. Hope you're doing ok and staying safe 😊

[@Laura-hc1to]

I absolutely ADORE your videos with Chloe. And just you and Chloe in general to be honest. Two of the most talented, criminally underrated people on KZbin 💜

[@timepatches]

good bloody lord i needed this video today

[@laurafox9157]

Talk about cut-throat, I went to a teaching interview where there were 4 of us on one day and one girl got sent home just after lunch before the interview stage 🙃 absolutely terrifying!

[@SmallBlogV8]

1) There is not a more enjoyable duo on KZbin. 2) The bit about lacking presence and not being able to properly build up to and subsequently process a movie without travelling to a designated Movie Place reminds me of how I've been feeling about remote therapy.

[@greensleeves42]

I forgot that two story busses are a thing in europe and was briefly so confused by the sudden scene change with the statement "especially when you're upstairs"

[@Lubenskii]

I am a simple woman. I see a video with Dan and Chloe, I instantly like it

[@valerieel2131]

God, I just love the way you talk to each other. 10/10 conversation. I aspire to communicate with my friends/family like that, but I feel like it takes SO MUCH energy and one person or the other always clocks out or isn't as invested in the conversation as the other one is. I will keep trying tho. Thank you for that x

[@Maryam-mz7jo]

A NEW DANIEL J LAYTON VIDEO AND WE GET CHLOE LET'S GOOO

[@9thgalaxy778]

This brought me so much joy. I'm back in lockdown where I live (and have been for the past seven weeks) so it was so nice to just watch some chill banter between mates.

[@averyriel]

i absolutely adore you two together

[@janisc3683]

I feel that with the allowing your mind to wander travelling somewhere.

[@Hattie2334]

I cannot express this enough: this is my favourite KZbin duo in all of the KZbins. So happy to see yous back together 🌟

[@olivernichol2640]

"I'm at mercy with the person with the magic hands" - Daniel J Layton, ... time.

[@ClaireLeyden]

Ugh this was SUCH a delight to watch, as all your videos are!

[@abbiesmith7612]

I am from Maidstone and I love that two of my favourite YTers are from there. I love your stuff and it's always my go to for a pick me up when I'm down!!

[@sparky99945]

this made my day. thanks for making me smile you two. :)

[@Corinne2197]

You guys have the best energy together, missed these chat style videos 🙏🏼

[@KurtesolWafelosi]

This was great! Thank you!

[@JudithARobinson]

This was so much fun! I love each of you individually, but together you are so much more than the sum of your parts! Your friendship makes me smile so much. Here's to a safe reopening of the world and many more collaborations 😊

[@colecerys123]

I love watching you guys chat that was so interesting and really did make me think about my answers to the questions more in depth than i normally would

[@Dilton94]

This was lovely. I very much enjoy you two :’)

[@laurajones7352]

Love you two together so DAMN much

[@emmarubacava]

I love your guys friendship and I love Chloe’s laugh 😂

[@anna-maymoon1001]

"good for all ages..." 7 year old: "have you used alternative health practices?" 5 year old: "Does eating random stuff count?" 7 year old: "this is why no one likes you" 5 year old "Muuuuuummmmmm"

[@isabellanebs22]

"Which was a disappointment for us all" yes, yes it was Daniel

[@alittlejolly]

I have just bought "the art of conversation" game. I hope you're happy.

[@fox_posting1030]

WHAT A LOVELY VIDEO

[@theprimeoflife9263]

The greatest and truest online power couple in history

[@PagesAndStages]

Oh I love this

[@xarnarappold9711]

Like going to the symphony!

[@shining_faith]

would 100% be here for more Adventures of Harold and Diedre

[@chiarathomas5044]

I really enjoyed this but the moment you said "hybrid engine" and your eyes lit up, I did feel like I was trapped talking to a stranger in the kitchen at a house party.

[@thomasandrewclifford]

Loving the new series, can we pretty please get a Sammy Paul soon?

[@anakinjames]

god i missed you two

[@anahitacordelia1458]

I beg of you to do another conversation starter card video. They are so funny!

[@tamsinjohns72]

Dan and chloe always procuse classic content

[@lulumidget]

You got me tearing up over fucking Brenda, Daniel

[@DanLayton]

Pour one out for Brenda 😢

[@ginime_]

I know she’s super busy right now but I really hope that there’s one of these with Hazel

[@josephineallen1632]

Lol Dan asks if you have ever used alternative medicine KZbin immediately cuts to a nuerofen advert

[@ju13hpm]

I missed watching collabs

[@eleanormurray6228]

I definitely thought Daniel's one word to describe himself was 'erotic' and had to go back and double check

[@kendrafrance2469]

triggered by the cssd audition anecdote

[@mayahicklin732]

U should do a podcast

[@BenPanced]

I'm still trying to figure out who invited Brenda in the first place. I thought she was YOUR friend.

[@b-ridge1589]

I miss buses

[@hannasophia18]

Those rules remind me of my autism psych ''education'' course, and that's not a good thing.

[@megafluff01]

that's my costa!!! random

[@jess-uj6rc]

UNHhhh Ep. 152 - Disappointment

[@SundownerGirl]

As a fellow Starbucks gold tier member, what is your favourite Starbucks order? Not go to, but favourite, as a treat or pick me up?

[@DanLayton]

Okay so my taste has fully evolved as I've grown, and it's gone from being like...chocolate cream Frappuccino with extra whipped cream down through a mocha to a vanilla latte and now I just have a straight up iced latte with an extra espresso. The bitterness comes for us all, mama.

[@justyourlocalrat_]

1:19 well i just lost the game 😬😳

[@Qo0_0]

[@v-mouse]

That are some Rules. Thanks. Nope.
