Dan & Phil Part 94: Year of the Rats

[Catallena]

[alittledizzy]

I still don't love the react videos but I'll take surprise!Phil ANY DAY.

(Also love that they're still splashing him front and center on the thumb nail. Never change, Fine Bros.)

[flarequake]

They had ZHC on the thumbnail and then changed it, bit rude. He’s an artist whose channel grew pretty quickly, he’s very energetic (he’s in the aqua top and hair with his gf in pink, some bright spark commented that they were Wanda and Cosmo). It’s an interesting one, Phil makes a good point about ‘it’s a joke’, also I wonder how much of the daily briefings he’s watching since he noticed something when Boris Johnson was on.

[Catallena]

If you just wanna look at Phil and don't wanna suffer through the YouTubers React, I got you covered

[Phanshy]

Obviously Gerald has heard about the Phan divorce and has come to claim Phil as his own. Pherald forever.

[alittledizzy]

I can't find the ig stories compiled on twitter so we'll have to wait for Catallena to work even more magic tomorrow (btw - BLESS YOU for that react compilation, I did not wanna have to watch that whole thing) but Dan and Phil giggling over ghosts in their flat... love 'em. Yeah, you can barely hear Dan, but I don't care. Taking it anyway. Made me smile. It's a win.

Thank you!! I tried sitting through the first couple of minutes of that but noped out. The whole premise is just very cringeworthy.

Now if we could just have 20 more minutes of Dan and Phil ghost hunting, I'd be one very happy gal.

I'll edit it in a bit! Cutest Instastories we've had in a while

you know what gets me every time still?

this.

this gets me.

Phil just. Filming Dan shirtless in their bed. The spot Phil was in before clearly rumpled with the covers pulled back beside him.

i literally devolve as a human being every time i remember shit like this.

i feel like i probably have a daily epiphany of thoughts like: "can't believe dan actually told us phil is his actual soulmate" and "can't believe we used to just let phil boop dan's nose like that was OKAY TO DO"

one of the few things these days that brings me an immense amount of joy. i love them so much.

other things that bring me joy? catallena's compilations. bless you for making those, you're a GEM!

[greenergrass]

Gerard way just followed dan on twitter according to someone on the mcr subreddit. This is of no relevance to anything lol I just imagine this would make dan pretty happy (or stressed after the pete wentz situation lol)

(I assume this is a new follow anyways but weird since gerard hasn't used his twitter in years but maybe he just uses it to follow other people? I don't know, the person on reddit had a screenshot of their notifications today but I don't know how twitter works. Anyways, it doesn't really matter, just thought I'd share this fact while not much else is going on)

[alittledizzy]

[noodlebum]

Oooh what's this? Love Jessica too

[rizzo]

I spy a Wirrow connection...

This is exciting!

[liola]

First of all Jessica and dnp in the same thing makes me happy and reminds me of vidcon.

But also..What is this? Is it for YouTube premium only? Are they going to stream in the same room or one in the living flat and one in the gaming, is it all at the same time I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

(If they're not live streaming together.. I'll be sad. Even if it's to maximize entertainment in case it's something that lasts throughout the day, that is just the nature of my sadness over joint content)

Timestamps for the latest liveshow:

:00 - Phil opens the liveshow with his tongue sticking out for ultimate cute.
:24 - He's five minutes late because his computer was updating and he couldn't stop it.
1:17 - There's some not-green-screen showing; the immersion is ruined until he fixes it.
2:51 - If he's in a forest, he needs to see a slight bit of humanity or he feels scared. He's fine with someone but he doesn't like to be alone in a forest.
3:24 - Owl talk.
3:34 - He used to live near a forest and climb trees. Usually with friends but occasionally he'd go alone.
3:51 - More owl talk. An owl did it.
4:04 - Owl story from when he lived with his parents.
5:00 - "A bird in the night is inherently in darkness which leads to unpredictability." Wisdom from Phil.
5:22 - He talks about his tik tok coffee video.
7:13 - He's doing "a lot better today." Talks about hitting his head on the corner of the cupboard.

"I think because it was a corner it was extra impact, maybe. Anyway, it was fine straight after - it hurt, obviously - but then the next day.... there was a massive lump on my head here, just beneath the quiff. Behind the quiff. I don't know how it happened, I'm just a clumsy fool. Anyway, behind the quiff. I had an egg on my head but it felt like a pressure. It felt like there was pressure all the way down my scalp. So I had a headache for two or three days but when I was lying on one side of my head it felt like the pressure was like pressing the bump in my head. Uh - anyway. I'm fine today. I googled it - do you know when you get paranoia - because head injuries, if you like, have one - they can be serious. I get paranoid anyway so I was googling it like, concussion. What's going on with my head, am I okay. But on NHS it's like - is there clear fluid coming out of your ears and nose? No. Is that like literally your brain is coming out of your ears and nose? Have you been sick, and all this - all the check list was like, no, I'm fine. And also it was like - if you take a paracetamol does it go away? I took a paracetamol and it went away. So I was being a bit overdramatic, but you know when you get paranoid. I felt really dazed for the next three days. But it's good to be cautious."

9:18 - "If you do bang your head and you're on your own, that's the thing. I wasn't on my own. For twenty four hours. If you're on your own for twenty four hours, that's when you've really got to keep an eye on it.
9:51 - Kath texted him telling him he was insane for putting banana milk in his coffee. He told her she can't judge it until she has a banana milk coffee.
10:20 - In the UK their main three milkshake flavors are banana, strawberry, and chocolate. Vanilla is a bit more rare.
11:02 - He's been watching the anime Dr. Stone. He's struggling to get through it so it's not his favorite. He watched The Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime.
11:28 - Phil's internal debate about the flavor of soda.
13:27 - "I'm not sponning Coke! I would tell you." (But they can feel free to send him a spon request.)
14:50 - News Story of the Week! Spoiler: It's about a puppy with a bad haircut.
17:40 - Someone asks him if he's seen a Pixar movie, he says he might give it a watch.
18:10 - He asks if it'll make him sad. Inside out was "way too sad." He doesn't feel like crying at the moment.
18:45 - What he's saying isn't important but he definitely does the 'Phil's Corner' voice.
18:50 - He had a good Easter but he misses seeing his family because he usually sees them around this time. He ate some mini eggs over zoom with a gin and tonic. Long discussion ensues about teaching parents how to use zoom and the merits of zooming with Kath's ear.
20:08 - He may grow his hair out instead of cutting it during quarantine. The greasier it is the more it behaves. He washes his hair every day normally.
20:48 - "Even introverts need a bit of human interaction." We're all a bit needing some human interaction, but he's been very social on zoom. Played Mario Kart with PJ and Sophie over zoom. He's trying to hang out with friends via that.
21:42 - Norman Cam.
22:36 - He talks about the Hope from Home charity stream briefly.
25:19 - His community question was about lockdown fails, since he smacked his head.
26:44 - He tells a story about a housemate at university that used to put things in the communal microwave just for fun. "The microwave broke, of course." Once the same guy removed all the hinges from his cupboards so when he opened them they just flew off.
28:07 - Another story about the same guy doing a prank where he filled Phil's bedroom with balloons... except Phil's parents drove him in to help him build a desk and were stressed and wanted to leave as fast as possible. They had to stab the balloons as fast as they could. (His housemates hid upstairs because they were afraid of Phil's dad.)
30:33 - He talks about doing yoga in the past. "I don't think it's for me." He's got no coordination.
31:50 - "If you are stuck at home, why wear jeans?" He thinks it's good to have day pajamas so you can make a transition. (He mentions Martyn saying normal every day clothes is helping him. "To each their own.")
32:30 - He doesn't do pajamas during the day but he has some 'strong' sweatpants. (Comfy sweatpants.) He's also loving the new My Hero Academia.
33:50 - His disheswasher broke but he kicked it really hard and it fixed itself.
35:24 - Animal Crossing chat. He's not sure what he's doing with that.
36:04 - He cheated on Animal Crossing with Cloud but he's finished Final Fantasy remake so he's gonna go back to Isle of Pickle now.
36:48 - He hasn't been going out at all because he gets food deliveries and films at home. He's been for an occasional walk but he hasn't gone out into public. He thinks the government advice about masks in the UK is weird.
40:57 - He talks about mixing up the liveshows a bit. He thinks there's more he could learn with OBS and reads from the chat what people like. Next week will be the last of these and he might go away for a bit and think about it and see what he can do.
43:02 - His favorite board game is still Camel Up.
46:17 - Someone asks him to tell a moving story, he talks about hiring a sketch van service to move from Manchester to London.
47:42 - Phil and his Adult Sweetness Kit-Kat.

[flarequake]

Oh, owl talk and the adult sweetness Kitkat, fun times. We do have more milkshake flavours if you use a syrup by a brand called Crusha, maybe other brands make different things too, idk. I think I first had them with Crusha on holiday in Devon, those were the days.

The stream will be free btw, Susan herself confirmed. So hyped to see Dan and so cool that Jessica’s on too.

[Amiaw]

More info on the streams. It says the stream dnp are part of will be 4 hours and creators are going to tag team so idk if that lends to joint streaming

[liola]

Oh it's so great to know that it will be free! That's amazing and obviously since most shows since to be related to charity makes it so more people can donate. The lineup seems interesting

4 hours and tag team, I don't wanna hold my breath for joint streaming but boy would that be nice, and for charity. I'm curious to know how many people will be live at once and in general, I'd love longer sections with less people.

However I do think that if it's something with teams, like, it would be so much easier to do a live together and bounce off each other.. come on guys we deserve 2020 giving us one nice thing

[wiccamoody]

Fingers crossed for them together omg. I don't see why not, but also idk about the schedules. I'm so hyped for this, and it's a great bonus too as it comes on the day I'm being let go from work for a bit sigh lol

Also very excited to see Jessica too, she's amazing

[plinthofmylife]

please. joint pajama content. please. this is what we all need during this time.

[alittledizzy]

I just saw that there was another ig story last night - why is it so freaking heartwarming to me that they end their day on the sofa watching anime? Like I already knew it but ugh. I love them.

[Megancita75]

I didn't watch the live show (was it uploaded?) but read through the timestamps above and that whole balloon story and people being scared of Phil's dad really made me laugh. And the idea of eating mini chocolates combined with a gin and tonic also is very amusing. I like Phil and his plebe tastes.

I am surprised how much he is staying inside -- getting out a least once a day for a walk is really really nice -- I'm an introvert, and definitely can isolate like a champ, but too much time trapped inside is not great for my mental health.
