Video Game YouTuber P2istheName, Born Philip Enewally, Dies at 26
The news was confirmed by the Los Angeles Coroner's Office, which listed Enewally's place of death as 'the mail room,' presumably in the building where he lived. A cause of death has not been given.
News of Enewally's death shocked and saddened many of his friends in the YouTube influencer community. Enewally, who was known for his video game walkthrough videos of titles like Fortnite and NBA 2K series, had only recently launched his own clothing line, Don't Mind Us.
'My good friend @P2istheName has passed away… wow,' wrote YouTuber COLETHEMAN on X. 'I'm honestly at a loss for words. He was always so kind to me and gave me so much content creation advice. May he rest in peace. This breaks my heart.'
Podcaster Walter Weekes also memorialized Enewally on X. 'RIP To A Real One, we would talk about real estate and content creation behind the scenes! P2isthename!' he wrote.
'He was a super positive, happy dude, really good energy all the time. So it's really sad that he had passed. So RIP to P2 man… some prayers are with him and his loved ones and his family,' said @yoxic in a video shared on the platform.
In a 2020 interview with VoyageLA, Enewally said that his competitive spirit is a throwback to his childhood, when he played several sports including basketball and football. 'Seeing all this growing up planted a first place 'mentality in me. From football, to me starting my clothing line in high school – it all helped me to find my entrepreneur side,' he explained.
YouTube came a little later, after he graduated. 'I saved money from the job I worked at, then quit when I had enough money to afford my YouTube equipment. I went to school and did YouTube at the same time glancing both. Then when YouTube started popping off, I eventually dropped out,' Enewally added.
Enewally's mother died of breast cancer when he was 12, a loss he said 'molded me as a person.' He was then raised by his dad, a probation officer who emphasized education over everything. His dad didn't 'immediately' approve of his YouTube career, but eventually came around.
Enewally was also thoughtful about his skills as a content creator. 'I think I specialize in understanding people's emotions. When I post my videos, I have the ability to turn someone's day around just from me jumping around screaming, inserting so much energy into the viewer,' he explained. 'Filming and editing videos is an art because as an creator, you have the ability to make someone laugh, scare someone, make them think, make them smile, it truly is an exotic feeling.'
Philip Enewally was born April 23, 1998, and raised just outside of LA. He attended La Mirada High School for his junior and senior year and told VoyageLA he often visited Cerritos Park East as a kid. He also said the Cerritos Library 'is the greatest library in the World.'
'I have all types of memories in this place. Everyday after school waiting for my parents to get off work… I was here doing homework and watching YouTube videos. This is the place that made me want to be a youtube,' Enewally explained.
In one of his final videos, Enewally revealed he was moving from Los Angeles. He planned to move to Atlanta, Georgia.

Jessa Duggar waited a week before naming her newborn son. Here's what she chose
The Duggar family tree has grown by one — and now we know the name of the newborn baby. Jessa Duggar, the fifth child and third daughter of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of '19 Kids and Counting,' welcomed her sixth child with husband Ben Seewald on July 26, per her Instagram. The reality star turned influencer has since been telling her birth story in a series of YouTube videos. In the third installment of the series, published Aug. 8, Jessa Duggar joked that they should name the newborn baby boy 'Pork Chop' because he weighed 10 pounds, 1 ounce at birth. 'But since that's not on the name list, what else?' she said in the video. As Duggar and Seewald were sitting in the hospital, they were trying to decide between Owen, Edward and Calvin for the first name and Patrick and Athanasius for the middle name. On Aug. 11, Jessa Duggar released the fourth installment of the series and revealed that two of the first names made the cut — but neither of the middle names did. The name they chose? Edward Owen Seewald. 'We liked the sound of Edward from pretty early on in this pregnancy,' Seewald said toward the end of the video. The name was also a big hit with the couple's other kids. 'We always like historical names, too, so there's some historical significance with Edward,' he added while name-dropping preacher and philosopher Jonathan Edwards and King Edward VI of England. According to Behind the Name, Edward is an Old English name that means 'rich guard' via the elements 'ead,' meaning 'wealth,' and 'weard,' meaning 'guard.' Other historical baby names for boys include Henry, William, Charles, George, Richard, Thomas, James, Robert and Francis. As for Owen, Seewald said he was drawn to the name because of John Owen, one of his 'favorite theologians.' Owen either means 'well born' in Welsh or 'yew tree' in Irish, per Behind the Name. Both names were included in the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 most popular boy names of 2024 with Owen ranking 26th and Edward ranking 228th. The couple are also parents to sons Spurgeon, 9; Henry, 8; and George, 19 months, and daughters Ivy, 6, and Fern, 4, according to People. While they have since settled on a name for baby No. 6, Duggar and Seewald said that it took them nearly a week to come to an agreement. At the beginning of their Aug. 11 video, the couple are in the hospital when Duggar asks her husband if they've settled on a name. 'We've been trying,' he responded. 'But Jess is on the pills and her mind is foggy. She's a little nervous to pick a name when she's not thinking as clearly as she could.' By the time they were ready to pack up and leave the hospital, their baby was still without a name. 'They told us we have nine days from birth to let them know,' Duggar said. 'Hopefully it doesn't take that long,' Seewald added. In the car ride back home, Duggar said leaving the hospital without a name gives them an opportunity to try out each of the names on their list for a day or so to see how it fits. 'Sometimes you've just got to see their face and maybe even test some names out for a few days,' Seewald said. 'But we finally made up our mind.' According to Jessa Duggar, kids Spurgeon, Henry, George, Ivy and Fern were on board with the name. 'The kids are very excited. They were rooting for Edward,' Duggar said.

Miley Cyrus' Wild House Party Video For ‘We Can't Stop' Hits One Billion Views on YouTube
Everything's coming up billions for Miley Cyrus. The singer is celebrating the news that her fifth video has crossed the one billion views mark on YouTube. The latest track to reach that hallowed height is Miley's 2013 lead Bangerz single 'We Can't Stop,' the party-starting anthem written and produced by Mike Will Made It, P-Nasty and R. City, with additional lyrics from the singer and a sample of Doug E. Fresh's hip -hop classic 'La Di Da Di.' The turn-up tune topped out at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of release, notably blocked from No. 1 by Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' — Cyrus and Thicke would perform a legendarily raunchy, suggestive medley of their respective hit songs at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. More from Billboard Miley Cyrus Says She's Got Something 'Really Special' Planned For 'Hannah Montana' 20th Anniversary Zoë Kravitz and Mom Lisa Bonet 'Destroyed' Taylor Swift's Bathroom Looking For Pet Snake During L.A. Wildfires: 'I Was Panicking' Tool and Weezer to Headline Australia's Good Things Festival Despite some grumbling about the suggestive content of the 'We Can't Stop' clip at the time from critics struggling to wrap their heads around the then-21-year-old Disney star's transition from kid-friendly pop singer to hip-hop adjacent provocateur, the video blew up right away. It set a record at the time on Vevo for most views in the first 24 hours, then another record after getting hitting Vevo Certified status for 100 million views in just over a month for a visual Billboard described at the time as 'subversive, mesmerizing and unhinged.' The Diane Martel-directed video definitely painted Cyrus in a whole different light. Wearing golden grillz and writhing on a bed in a white bra and hot pants, it finds the singer surrounded by friends who eat sandwiches made out of $100 bills, building french fry skulls, twerking and butt-slapping, pretending to slice off their fingers and dirty dancing with giant teddy bears. From scenes of Miley in a fishnet bathing suit making out with a doll wearing a similar outfit to the singer smashing a giant beer bottle piñata filled with hot dogs and winking drug references to 'dancing with Molly', the loud and proud debauchery finds its thesis statement in the refrain, 'And we can't stop/ And we won't stop/ We run things they don't run we/ Don't take nothing from nobody.' Cyrus had previously crossed the one-billion views mark with 2013's Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 'Wrecking Ball,' as well as 2009's 'Party in the U.S.A.,' 2013's '23' with Mike WiLL Made-It, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J and her other No. 1 hit, 2023's 'Flowers.'

The ‘Womanosphere' Is Booming. No Wonder Katie Miller Hopped Aboard.
Katie Miller, who is married to one of the president's most powerful aides, sat cross-legged in a tank top and bluejeans, facing her new YouTube audience. 'Welcome to my living room,' Ms. Miller said, as though doing her best imitation of an 'MTV Cribs' guest star. 'You may be wondering what I'm doing here, hosting a podcast.' What Ms. Miller was doing here is a tale that goes back to early June, when Elon Musk, who was then her boss, began publicly feuding with her husband's boss, President Trump. Immediately, Ms. Miller's position seemed to many observers awkward and potentially untenable. How would she serve Mr. Musk while being married to Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff? She would not. Last week, Ms. Miller announced she had left Mr. Musk's orbit to follow in the great American tradition of starting a new show. 'This podcast is meant to be in my own words,' Ms. Miller told The New York Times, adding that she had 'no thoughts on monetization yet,' meaning advertising or paid subscriptions. Her target audience is conservative women, she said in her introductory video, particularly working mothers interested in healthy living. 'There isn't a place for a conservative women to gather online,' Ms. Miller argued. Except there is — and it's booming. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
