Dan & Phil Part 79: calm down there bub

Sat Nov 24, 2018 8:10 pm

Don't know why this is the tweet Dan decided to go all in with replies to, but some cute ones:

(No one who has to say their toes are innocent actually has innocent toes, right? That's not something you should need to specify.)

I keep getting logged out both on pc and phone. It happens quite often when I'm on my phone, but on pc just today.

oof, i was just logged out.
dan should wear the bunny slippers every time he goes to stand up so he can avoid water puddles. socks being worn around the house is uncomfortable! unless it's very cold and you have thick fuzzy ones. those are valid.

Wow, there are many seats left available in Brazil. Probably due to it being such short notice? Sucks if they don't end up with a sold out show.

I feel like they probably knew they wouldn't sell out the Brazil show, and that going was more a point of pride. Most of the people I saw most upset about them potentially canceling weren't actually from Brazil (out of curiosity I did a spot check of people who were the most vocal tweeters about it once) and therefore weren't going to be buying a ticket anyway. They didn't price the tickets in a profit-making way, either - I have a feeling like maybe BBC gave them a budget for some kind of premiere event and this is just how they used it.

And like I said before, it makes me even more impressed at how determined they were to follow through their word to the best of their very limited ability. They're gonna put on a small but great show for some very lucky fans.

Oh, definitely. I kind of assumed they weren't looking to make profit at all, considering ticket prices. I feel happy that not only they tried so hard, they also are going only so that they keep their promise and make their fans happy. It's great.

Now... *clears throat*

Also, they might not have that many people following them in Brazil or at least people that are able to travel and pay for the tickets. Last year when they announced they wanted to include Brazil and Mexico on the tour I was pretty surprised. I'm Mexican and I have never met anyone Irl that likes Dan and Phil. I know there are Mexican people that like them, I see them manifesting at Tumblr and Twitter but there might not be that many. There is a language barrier I know it wasn't such a big deal in other not English speaking countries but people around here are... pretty bad at English, so is more likely they will watch youtubers that speak Spanish, also Mexican sense of humor is very different (not better, but different) from what they do. And the whole economic situation, many people wouldn't be able to afford to go to Mexico City and pay for plane tickets + hotel + food + transportation, I know I wouldn't have been. I'm guessing that Brazil is in a similar situation: they have a fanbase but the fanbase is not big enough that it wouldn't matter if some can't afford to go to the event -even if the tickets are selling at a reasonable price they would still have to pay for everything else if they are not from São Paulo-.

According to an IRL tweet the festive socks are "nearly sold out" - it looks like the only thing that sold out right away was the bracelet. Do you think people bought less festive stuff, or they just had a better idea of how much to initially order this time around?

Also, any guesses on when they'll fly out? I wonder if we'll get a day of delayed domestic instagram stories to throw people off the scent.

kavat · Sun Nov 25, 2018 2:45 pm

I feel like they would like to have a few days in Brazil as they haven't been there before. My guess is that they fly out on monday or tuesday and back on friday, and perhaps a jetlag fuled pinof filmed when they get back.

I have a feeling Dan didn't get that many bracelets, which makes sense since it's something different and not really festive themed so he wouldn't be sure how much they would sell. It was also very good priced so that made it even more sellable imo i'm sad it went sold out so fast!

As for the flyng out, it's a pretty long flight, even with no layover it's still 11 to 12 hours. My guess is on tomorrow but if they don't do a liveshow today I wouldn't be surprised if they left today tbh, the show on Wednesday is early so I don't think they will arrive the day before, it wouldn't make much sense when they don't have a strict schedule.

lesterchuu · Sun Nov 25, 2018 9:30 pm

i @ replied this to dan but ill also say it here, if they dont show up wearing a bunny costume like the emoji dan used, ill be disappointed jk

Sun Nov 25, 2018 9:43 pm

Was...... was that a tingle reference?

thestigdrivesamini · Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:05 pm

Thank you phil for letting us know that you don’t need viagra. Appreciate the information

Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:06 pm

That liveshow was so ridiculous and also soft and domestic. I can't wait to rewatch it, I might even do timestamps.

ratlad · Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:06 pm

"it made us not talk for two hours so we had to stop"
wow....... i can go DAYS without talking to my family and friends, but these two dorks can't stand staying silent for an hour?

i'm glad i'm not the only one who was thinking this.

thespacecat · Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:08 pm

That was an enjoyable liveshow; but did you know they did surgery on a grape? (sorry)

"Honey, you've got a big storm coming" I can't wait for Phil to get Dan back.

The sudden cut off at the end though lol.

wiccamoody · Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:09 pm

Is it even possible at this point for them to be more cute and domestic with every liveshow? Apparently so. My thoughts as it when on are below

Ataraxia25 · Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:12 pm

it was amazing! i say that every time but they're were so flirty! so flirty and happy and relaxed and giggly! i hate them. god i loved it.

intoapuddle · Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:13 pm

I feel so fond after this liveshow I'm surprising myself

That’s exactly where my mind went..

glitterintheair · Sun Nov 25, 2018 10:20 pm

I know many people would love solo liveshows, but really.. the joint ones we're getting this year are a treasure. They're so adorable and soft and domestic.

I'm stuck on that 'we didn't talk for TWO (2) hours' thing, by the way. Like, as if it was something groundbreaking for them and it reminded me of that time Phil talked about not seeing Dan for 10 hours. They're so lame, I love it.
