Dan & Phil Part 48: Exposing themselves via fidget spinner

[adequate duck]

because Dans ':Dan' doesn't exactly look neat (Though I am aware Dans handwriting is so bad that if the enigma code had been written down in it we'd still be trying to crack it)

nah we would just get oqua to read it. she's the world's second best dan cryptography expert.

Gimme that preorder link Philip and take my money.

Damn YouTubers and their book deals

[000dia000]

Something i just noticed: In the video linked some posts above, at around 12:10, Dan said something like "L.A. traffic, here we are for 3 weeks".
More secret holidays planned?

They've had enough holidays

[argo]

I hope I'm doing this correctly

I just have to say I drove down to Vidcon yesterday from the Bay Area and was running very late. I kept joking to my mom that maybe D&P were stuck in the rush hour traffic like us lol I made it to Vidcon registration with 10 minutes to spare so I was able to see the panel last night

Their story had me howling w laughter because it was so relatable. Anyway made it to Vidcon woo!

[SquishPhan]

Somehow I am not surprised that this is what happened. I would not like to travel with them.

Gimme that preorder link Philip and take my money.

Same.

I took that to mean he meant sitting for 3 weeks in the traffic tbh.

[flarequake]

Yeah, that's all he meant, though it sounds like the universe is telling them to stay at home.

[fondsmiles]

I saw some really lovely high quality pictures of them doing their talking bit on stage yesterday on twitter, thought I'd share the beauty

do you guys think there'll be a new gaming video today? I am kind of really hoping for one

Welcome! It's awesome that you got to see them live. I come from a small town so traffic isn't really an issue. We're so spoiled, we get road rage if we have to sit in traffic for more than 2 minutes. LA sounds like hell, especially during VidCon.

Those pictures are gorgeous, 10/10.

And I hope so! I've been feeling a bit of a content drought for some reason, so my poor friend (who is not a D&P fan) has had to go through another round of, "BUT LISTEN, HE PREDICTED HIM WITH TAROT CARDS. TAROT CARDS!!!" on Snapchat. Her patience astounds even me.

My God Phil is so attractive - I never used to have a thing for Phil but recently (I blame flarequake's photo)

I think there could be a new video today - we've not had one for a few days, it makes sense they'd've shceduled one, I don't think it'll be Sims, maybe it'll be another DvP?

Hehe he looked particularly stunning in the Going Deep About Aliens video.

He really, really did (I did not watch it twice just because of his face)

despite having all that airport panic, they truly were glowing!

okay i love dvp but i'd much rather they play a co-op game... please lads. i do like dvp's but,, co-op,, working together,, domestic arguments - i crave that shit.

also, i love when dan and phil are on stage and dan does that really subtle gesture towards phil to tell him it's his turn to speak, perhaps with a lil microphone movement, and eyebrow raise, sometimes he just looks at phil (in the "can phil express an opinion" panel) and phil just nods at him - yeah i'd like to formally announce that is now my kink, thank u for ur attention.

[somethingsketchy]

[offtopic]While we are waiting for a potential new video, I just wanted to wish Happy Midsummer to everyone celebrating it! [/offtopic]

edit: Aren't they supposed to have a meet-and-greet soon, btw? That might mean there will be no video.

[kenzieisnotonfire]

[flarequake]

All this stuff they get given is hilarious (and daft, they even got Calvin Klein underwear). Ironic that water, possibly the most useful thing, is also tiny.

[droopy]

I was about to say, that water bottle is hilariously undersized. I'm not sure why I find it so funny, but I do.

[flarequake]

It's just halfway to being generous. Also Dan has big hands so it would look extra tiny.

[autumnhearth]

Happy Midsummer to you somethingketchy! Welcome new folks! Goodness Phil is gorgeous, I have also been recently more attracted to him. He looks great in that shirt, that he had time to put on. I think Dan is just really attached to that oversized sweatshirt.

So I don't know why I just put myself through this hell (I guess I wanted to fully process the story to make sense of it, even though I know time is blurred and it's all about the entertainment value), but I just spent my morning and afternoon transcribing their segment.

Really grateful for that better quality video, I couldn't stand the other livestream. Still, I have a freaking headache. (No bleeding out of my eyes or throwing up though.)

So here you go. If anyone was able to understand more of the two Benedict Cumberbatch mentions, please let me know! I think that was pretty notable, plus Dan's bedside drawer and internet history. Love the teasing.

Introductions
D: "You had one job."
0:11 P: "Hi my name is Dan"
0:24 P: "Shouldn't you have introduced yourself as Daniel though?"
0:29 D: "Ok. Ha ha ha. Yeah. Good one. I think that we're intimate enough, as a group of people, that you can just call me Dan. It's okay, I won't get offended."- Dan (Very stiff)
0:40 D: "Hey Phil, I feel like we're all as close to you, what could we shorten yours to?"
0:48 Phil avoids Dan's nickname question and talks about his "thing about stages"
0:50 P: "One time I had my fly unzipped the whole time. Until a mum said 'we saw everything'." does embarrassed cower, walk away.
1:01 D: "You're in the danger zone down there seriously."
1:07 P: "At TATINOF I did fall off the stage, so I've been told I can't go towards any of the edges."
1:14 D: "Its actually the Shamu splash zone." (rude)
1:16 Phil mimes falling
1:19 D: "Well um, we were brought here today to be sort if the wholesome, community, come together, at the end of the night. Dan and Phil... talking on the stage..." (Dan's mic goes muffled, enthusiastic gestures.)
1:33 P: "I'd say it's going to be more of a horror story."
1:37 D "So. Um, some of you may have noticed, that we (think?) we were coming here about two days ago?" (Yes we noticed)
1:44 P: "Yeah"
1:46 D: "So, how is it that no one saw us and we just arrived? We have something kinda terrible to admit."
1:53 P: "Something terrible happened."
2:00 Dan goes to share microphone with Phil. Crowd gets way too excited. Dan decides he'll continue to use his own microphone. I have horrible flashbacks to the ls where Dan doesn't want to sit close to Phil while singing 'The Phantom of the Opera'.
2:07 D: "I have an underwater microphone here."
2:10 P: "That sounds okay."
2:12 D: "Um, well, we have something harrowing to admit. It might not be the fun, peaceful end of the night that you all expected, but the thing that you know from our (stories?) is that sharing our pain makes other people happy. So do wanna share..."
(cheering encouraged by Phil)
2:29 P: "It's gonna be like an exclusive story time with Dan and Phil."
2:36 D: "We are never gonna (mic comes back on) oh hello! Bloody hell! A bit of my inner Ron Weasley came out there. This is something that we will never tell again, so this is an experience just between us (garbled)" (so no, not going to be a main channel video)
2:52 P: "Let's just say- Lets just say what happened."
2:55 D&P in unison: "We missed our flight"
3:00 "D: It is a miracle that we're even stood here right now. And we've had the worst two days of our entire lives..."
3:09 P: "Yes."
3:09 D: "...literally just now."
3:10 P: "It all started with a dream."
3:16 D: "Like any good (horror?) movie sequence that makes no sense."
3:20 P: "Now I had a dream that Dan lost his passport."
3:23 D: "Which I'd never do, because I am incredibly organized."
3:26 P: "Yeah"
3:26 D: "But that's not a very interesting dream."
3:28 P: "I mean Benedict Cumberbatch was there right (garbled, in front of me?)" (cheering)
3:33 D: "I'm sure that that's just a safe for work version for whatever *was* going on in your head, that we probably (don't?) want to know about."
(Yes, Dan! You call your boyfriend out on his male celebrity fantasies.)
3:40 P: "(Something like that?) But that's how it started. Anyway, we woke up the morning of the morning of our flight. Everything was fine. We had a breezy morning."
3:46 D: "You know that's the last (time?) you ever have a breezy morning, when you're going to an airport. You're screaming, everything's on fire, you're panicking, your family's breaking down. But on this day-"
3:55 P: "Everything was going (right?)"
3:57 D: "... so smooth. You have no idea. We were just lazin about. Just like watching three episodes of an anime in the morning, just because we could. (It was incredible.)"- Dan
4:07 P: "(garbled, 'Just when... closes?) the taxi arrives. We were ready. Take the casing down to the taxi."
4:12 D: "It was (like), we had so much time, that I changed my outfit three times. Because... I could go outside looking like this, but I have ten minutes. That's how confident we were."
4:24 P: "And so we were about to walk out of the door, when Dan went really pale. Like the palest I've ever seen him. Like his whole internet history had been leaked (across?)..." (screams from the audience)
4:38 D: "(Oh/no?) That would be nowhere near. Like that would be, I would be dead if that happened."
4:44 P: "You were like this" (Phil imitates Dan standing shocked.)
4:46 D: "It was bad."
4:47 P: "It was bad."
4:48 D: "Umm. It turns out, that I had lost my passport. At the (exact?) It turns out that I was so confident that I was prepared, that everything was fine, that I just hadn't thought about my passport."
5:04 P: "Isn't that the first thing you think of-"
5:06 D: "But I didn't (interrupted by Phil, cheers for domestic arguments) Suddenly it was time to go and I was like, the one thing I'm supposed to remember, I don't know where it is, awkward."
5:18 P: "So this was all Dan's fault. That's what we're saying."
5:21 D: "Woah, woah, woah, woah. There's more to this story, but erm, we went to look for it, uh"
5:27 P: "You said we looked, we had to ransack the house. Just throwing stuff.."
5:30 D: "Destroyed everything."
5:31 P: "I had to look in Dan's bedside drawer. I'm not going to say what I saw in there."
5:40 D: "Whatever you're thinking it's probably not as bad as what Phil saw ('that was there'? Um Dan did you mean the opposite or...?) But you know there are places in your house that are like, the surfaces where stuff goes-"
5:52 P: "Yeah."
5:53 D: "And it usually doesn't make sense, but it's just all the stuff places, where it could possibly- it's going to be in one of these, you know, the stuff piles."
5:59 P: "It wasn't on the stuff pile." Phil says loudly
6:01 D: "It wasn't on the stuff pile. What do you do when it's not on the pile that the stuff would be on? We were flipping-"
6:06 P: "Meanwhile the taxi man is honking outside, he's blocking the traffic... I'm like Dan what are we going to do?"
6:11 D: "He was threatening to just leave without us, and we were doomed"
6:15 P: "Yeah"
6:15 D: "And then suddenly, in that like sudden moment, I realized 'oh wait I changed my outfit like three times', my passport was in a pair of jeans that is now in my suitcase."
6:25 Phil face palming and shaking his head. "Dan."
6:27 D: "I was like 'ack!' I run downstairs and I, I get my suitcase out and I start looking for it."
6:32 P: "He was emptying his suitcase into the street. His boxer shorts were on the floor..."(screaming)
6:40 D: There were clean, lovely underwear (interrupted by shouting) any other passersby to notice."
6:45 P: "He was holding up the traffic"
6:47 D: "Yeah it was horrendously embarrassing, but no worries, we found it. Crisis averted..."
6:51 P: "We found our passport(s)!" (not sure if it was plural but he definitely said "our".)
6:52 D: "Surely, (something, 'good time') we got in the car. Now this day, I'm sure you saw lots of British people being like 'oh it's really warm at the moment'" (Dan are you doing an American accent to imitate British people?)
7:01 P: "It's soo warm!" Phil growls
7:03 D: "Have you seen that? Well okay, I know if you're from Phoenix, this wasn't... (screaming, England?) but honestly look at how pale Phil is, okay."
7:11 P: "Yeah. I was almost combusting(?) in this taxi."
7:14 D: "Us British people, we are so sensitive to the heat, so on this day, you (don't?) have the air con on in the car, it was like one of those situations that might kill a dog. You know what I'm talking about?"
7:25 P: "Yeah. I felt like I was in a lizard tank. I felt like I couldn't breathe. The windows wouldn't open. And then you had the taxi driver, who was slightly strange. He did know where he was going. It was (like) the first time he had driven in London, and everything was stopped. We couldn't get anywhere."
7:41 D: "We drove past some protestors, he wound down the window and shouted 'Get a job!' Obviously me and Phil being so awkward' we were like..."
(Synchronized hiding behind arms)
7:51 P: "Stop it. No."
7:52 D: "Internally screaming" (high pitched)
7:53 P: "He was swearing at his sat navy and calling it 'love'.
7:57 D: "He was actually..."
7:58 P: "'No, love, we can't go this way'"
8:02 D: "He said some bad things, that we can't repeat."
8:04 P: "Like what does he do to that sat navy when we're not here?"
8:06 D: "It was a generally traumatizing... Wow, Phil. Um, situation. It's okay, because when you book a car, to take you to an airport, you allow plenty of time for the journey, don't you?"
8:17 P: "Yeah."
8:18 D: "So I was looking, and I was like, we've got ages. Suddenly panicked. It had seemed that for some reason, we had left an hour later than we were supposed to."
(Phil tenses up, shakes his head and tries to walk away)
8:30 D: "Why, why was that, why was the car booked an hour later than it was supposed to be?"
8:35 P: "I..." (crowd is groaning)
8:37 D: "No, wait for this, this is a good one, okay?"
8:41 P: "I booked it in the wrong time zone."
8:45 D: "What?!" Dan shrieks
8:49 P: "(something) under pressure."
8:50 D: "(something) British Summer Time, which is plus one..."
8:51 P: "UHHH!"
8:52 D: "Phil literally booked a car in the wrong time zone."
8:54 P: "Anyway!"
8:55 D: "So after the passport freak out I was like 'don't worry we're fine', 'we're not fine!'
9:00 P:" 'We're not going to make it!'"
9:01 D: "'We're so (literally?) not fine right now!'"
9:03 P: "So we were slowly getting to the airport. We were on the clock. We had ten minutes to get there. It was ten minutes before everything was over. We were gonna miss the flight, we were gonna miss VidCon. Then we pulled up, we pulled up to the airport, we ran. I've never..."
9:18 D: "It's one of those things where you literally have two minutes, between this life or death situation. So it comes down to, are you going to run right now, because how much you exercise, is what's going to decide how this situation is going to unfold. So me and Phil are like, 'nothing in our life has trained us for this moment, here we go!'"
(Mime running)
9:42 P: "I've never done so much exercise before. I was coughing up blood, I was (crawling toward the?)"
9:50 D: "(Something) remember last time I went to the airport (something) bloody Bahamas incident. (screams) The last time I tried to come into America I got deported to the Bahamas. Good times. Anyways. So again, I was like, I find myself like crying blood, in an airport, because I've been running so much. And when we see the air hostess at the end of the corridor, and she's just like standing there and smiling (mirror leg crossing). Surely good news, why would anybody be grinning."
10:16 P: "And then with the grin still on her face she said 'Um sorry, you've missed your flight loves.'"
10:24 D: "What do you mean?"
10:25 P: "Woah, woah, wait, wait..."
10:26 D: "How late are we? And she said 'Ohh we closed bag drop two minutes ago, I'm sorry.'"
10:32 P: "Two minutes!"
10:33 D: "What? What?!" (Dan shrieks)
10:34 P: "TWO MINUTES?!" (Phil jumps up and down)
10:35 D: "(She was like) 'There's nothing I can do, you've missed the flight.' So we were like..."
10:38 P: "AHHH!"
10:39 D: "... what? We went into like full on freak out mode..."
10:43 P: "I just sat on the floor."
(Dan looks at him so fondly. Starts to say something.)
10:45 P: "I'm sitting on the floor until you take me on the plane."
10:48 D: "I freaked out, Phil just gave up hope completely.
10:50 P: "Yep."
10:51 D: "Yep. That is Phil's freak out mode. But it was serious, because this flight was supposed to take us here for last night."
10:58 P: "Yeah."
10:59 D: "We thought surely all the flights to VidCon would be full. We've missed VidCon."
11:02 P: "Yeah."
11:03 D: "There's literally no way we can... people are just going to turn up to our meet-up and be like... (both mime looking around confused) Well that was fun, met Dan and Phil, so (screams) We were on the verge of tears, we were (kept?) throwing up..."
11:15 P: "Yeah."
11:16 D: "Everything was terrible."
11:18 P: "Until, we found out there was a very early morning flight. There was two seats left on."
11:25 D: "This is one of those flights, that if you had the choice, you would be like 'why would I put myself through that hell? There's no reason. Who would get on a plane at that time?.' But me and Phil were like..."
11:33 P: "Yep."
11:33 D: "'It's this or (nothing?) Are we going to do it?'"
11:35 P: "Yep. We did it."
11:36 D: "We decided to get on the flight in the middle of the night."
11:41 P: "Yeah."- Phil nods
11:42 D: "So, literally(?), okay, without sleeping, from the day we woke up, which was like an early start for a day..."
11:48 P: "I think I've been awake for about 47 hours."
11:51 D: "I don't even know."
11:52 P: "We don't even know."
11:53 D: "We got on the plane, this plane landed two hours ago. We literally ran through the airport, got in a car, like LA traffic, here we are for three weeks."
12:05 P: "Yeah."
12:05 D: "Ahh! More internal screaming."
12:07 P: "Dan is still wearing the outfit he had on, on the plane."
12:15 D: "If you're wonder why there's, uh, a stain there, I spilled some food on myself. Okay. I slept in this. I've been wearing this sweater for like two days now?"
12:29 P: "I was wondering what that smell was."
12:30 D: "You can smell it from here can't you? I'm sorry."
12:33 P: "Sorry we look like rats, but... we made it to VidCon!" Phil jumps (screams)
12:40 D: "I don't... like honestly, I don't know what you're think from this impression of us, right now, but Phil, how do you feel, physically in this moment?"
12:48 P: "I feel like it was all your fault."
12:54 D: "Okay, I was hoping that this would get us some like sympathy from the audience but see..."
12:58 P: "No."
12:59 D: "No. You think it's my fault?"
13:01 P: "It was all your fault."
13:02 D: "No, I lost my passport, looked for it for 20 minutes, *you* booked the car wrong by an hour!"
13:10 P: "I think there's just one way to settle this, I think we need to ask these guys, alright?"
13:18 D: "I wonder how this is gonna go. Sure alright, lets play the audience blame game."
13:24 P: "Who thinks it was my fault?" (decent amount of cheering)
13:30 D: "Which, I'm just gonna say, mathematically is correct, but you know sure, fine."
13:35 P: "And who thinks it was Dan's fault?" (louder screams)
13:42 D: "Wow. I'm so glad that I didn't sleep for three days to come see you. Can we just agree that really it was all the cab driver's fault?"
13:51 P: "No, it was Dan's fault."
13:55 D: "Okay, what can we learn from this? This was such a horrendous experience, there must be some kind of moral to the story."
14:02 P: "I think the moral to the story is: 'always believe in Phil's dreams.'"
14:10 D: "So it's not 'make sure you've got your passport before you leave..."
14:13 P: "No, no, no!"
14:15 D: "Make sure the guy driving you knows where the airport is..."
14:18 P: "No! It's the dreams!"
14:20 D: "Or like make sure your phone's not like set to like Germany time or something..."
14:24 P: "No! It's the Dreams. (We're?) just waiting for Benedict Cumberbatch to trot(?) past (something)"
14:29 D: "(a bit garbled) If Phil dreams the truth, you should all be terrified. Trust me, that's not gonna (something). So yeah, I mean, was it worth it (for us?) to come all this way... (screams)
14:44 P: "Thank you."
14:46 D: "I (really) needed to hear that!" (Dan squeals)
14:48 P: "Aww"
14:49 D: "You see Dan and Phil and think their going to be like so wholesome and fun and it's like death, pain and suffering!"
(Not sure if Phil just repeats him)
14:58 P: "Hopefully this has made you feel better about (something) with your days."
15:03 D: "(Something, learned?) something important here, we all feel better, we're just really glad we were able to come here and see you all of you..." (screams)
15:15 P: "I hope you all have an amazing(?) VidCon."
(Too much screaming)
15:20 D: "...Have some bants..."
15:25 D: "See you guys."

[lurker]

ah that's awesome autumnhearth thank you for posting the transcript!

[lishachi]

I don't know if this is because I've had 4 hours sleep and I'm seeing things but...what is happening with the jeans? Why is the seam(?) in the middle of his leg? What is anything honestly I'm delirious (Does this even make sense I'm so confused by his jeans now)

Hope for a new gaming vid soon. Not holding my breath, but secretly hoping. Also Phil looks super good, in that Aliens video he looked beautiful. I might have to go watch it again.

[JustMe]

So here you go. If anyone was able to understand more of the two Benedict Cumberbatch mentions, please let me know! I think that was pretty notable, plus Dan's bedside drawer and internet history. Love the teasing.

I agree. Love that it's barely even mentioned even though a year ago even one of these mentions would be all people talked about for days.

Also, honest question; would you go through your (best) friends' bedside drawer? I'm curious.

[droopy]

Wow, thank you autumnhearth, that was so cool to read through! I'm planning on rewatching their storytime at some point, so I'll be sure to have your transcript pulled up when I do.

For the good ol' Benny Batch mentions, I'm pretty sure I heard Phil say something about Benedict riding a unicorn through his dream (the first time the dream is brought up). It would also explain the "trotting" he references at the end of the story. (couldn't find a unicorn emote but I did my best.)
