Dan & Phil Part 92: japhan 2.0

[Sami]

I am deceased from all the cute
I genuinely didn't think we would get so much from them but I have never been so happy to be wrong
Phil's little aww over the gay stars erases the disappointment I won't get a ls on my birthday

[wiccamoody]

I feel so fucking blessed to have woken up those insta stories I'm just so fucking happy for them and living vicariously through them. But mostly I'm just happy that they get to live comfortably and make fucking gay jokes! Feels good! Feels organic!

[noodlebum]

Yay Phil uploaded the liveshow! As soon as I'm home from work, I'm definitely going to first watch all their instastories with sound, then watch the liveshow as I missed it, and then finally feel up to date!

[poweroftriangles]

I... I don't know what to do with all this all at once. I didn't expect it and I don't think I'll survive two weeks of gay stars and rainbow ferris wheels and whatever the hell they're doing over there.


also he just uploaded? isn't it kinda late there lol

[parallel]

i am having a bruh moment.

god i literally expected NOTHING from this trip and yet!! they delivered!! every single tweet and ig story is leaving me shaken.

and we are getting video footage of them interacting. gay stars! i love these nerds!

does dan think i'm gonna forgive him for the whole merch debacle by having a romantic holiday in japan? well he might be right!

[likeinlatin]

I've been at a conference on a quite serious topic all day and I need to chill because people are gonna start looking at me funny considering how much I've been absolutely BEAMING at my phone, they are so cute and it makes me warm inside

[Amiaw]

Slightly off topic but Ben Hunte is following Phil on Instagram now too. I’d love for the 4 of them to become friends and hang out with their dog

[Catallena]

Oh my god those Instastories. I am deceased. And my coworkers definitely think I'm insane for grinning at my phone like an idiot right outside of the work floor door on my break because I was too impatient to get to the cafeteria and be a hopeless fangirl there.

I don't wanna curse it but... Japhan 2.0 is gonna be good.

In case anyone's interested, I did timestamps for the latest liveshow, and they can be found below and in the Timestamps threads.

It was good to see Phil, and I’m going to miss him the next couple of Sundays! But I’m also very happy that he’s making time for himself to take a vacation. Here are my highlights:

• The first thing I noticed was that there was some annoying circus-sounding music playing in the background. Phil finally realizes this at [7:50], and he claims that no one in the chat told him about it. (This isn’t true, but I was surprised that more people in the chat didn't complain about it.) The best part of this saga happens when Phil reads someone’s comment in the chat saying, “We’re all clowns in here,” and Phil agrees that he’s also a clown.
• [3:55] Phil shows us Norman Cam, which includes footage of the bubble nest Dan mentioned in the tweet below. Phil says Norman is making this nest because he’s happy and ready to mate with a lady betta fish. At [6:03], Phil is asked why he’s assuming Norman isn’t gay, and he admits that he doesn’t know, bringing up the news that a gay penguin couple are in the process of hatching their second egg.
• [6:25] Phil talks about his new glitch hoodie merch.
• [9:37] Phil says he has filmed his new video, and he thinks it will be out sometime “later next week.”
• [11:29] Phil acknowledges the top fans, including one with the username “IMissDanAndPhilGames.” In response to this username, Phil says:

  P: Great name. Um, it’s always in our hearts.
  […]
  P: If you don’t know--Oh, a lot of you are saying, “What’s happened?” No, nothing’s happened! Uh, go watch my “Draw My Life” if you want more of an insight or the last DanAndPhilGAMES video. We’ve just put it on hiatus for a while. It might come back. It might come back as a different project. We’re just...letting it… We’re letting it sit for a while.

• [12:44] NEWS STORY OF THE WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK: A parrot has recently celebrated its seventieth birthday. Much like when he learned how long snails lived, Phil is shook by the fact that some parrots can live to be one hundred. Because of this story, we get to hear Phil say “Okay, boomer” (a new meme) at [15:42].
• [17:13] Phil reacts to one of his YouTube channel member’s comments saying that they thought chocolate milk came from brown cows. Phil thinks this is understandable, but he questions where all the strawberry and banana cows are.
  
  He then tells a story about how he once got a Yazoo brand strawberry milk drink that had accidentally been flavored banana. I refuse to call flavored milk with an added thickening agent a “milkshake.” He was eight at the time, and he thought he might get a sticker or something if he wrote into them. But he didn’t end up writing them because he couldn’t resist enjoying the milk drink.
  
  Phil tries to sell banana milk drink to people who haven’t had it by saying that it tastes like the artificial banana taste. Despite its rarity in the US, I have had banana milk drink, and it's so gross, especially when compared to an actual banana milkshake made of milk, vanilla ice cream, and bananas blended together.
• [24:12] Phil is asked, “How’s Dan’s fish?” and Phil retorts, “It’s a shared fish.” Phil thinks Norman has a personality. He talks to Norman, and he thinks Norman understands him in a way.
• [25:34] Phil is asked if he has any tips for job interviews. He suggests preparing answers to common questions, and he suggests preparing some questions to ask about the job. When he was working at WHSmith, Phil asked his boss why he had been hired when there were so many other candidates, and his boss said that Phil asking questions about the job made him seem more interested in the position than the other candidates.
• [27:04] Phil announces that he and Dan are going back to Japan for a vacation. They’re not just going to Tokyo this time; they’re going all over Japan, and Phil will be gone from YouNow for “a couple of weeks” due to the trip. Phil’s not going to vlog the trip, but there might be some pictures and Instagram Stories.
• [29:59] Phil acknowledges his top fans again. This time “IMissDanAndPhilGames” has changed their name to “DanHowellismyhusband,” and they are the second top fan. Phil says the name of the first top fan, then says that “people have entered the mix” and names some lower top fans, skipping the second one. At [38:50], Phil says goodbye to his top fans, and he reads this username as “DanHowell’s.”
• [34:55] For the gaming segment this week, Phil returns to a game he previously played called Grow. Phil continues to find a way to work his new favorite subject into his liveshows. As with the last time he played this game, Phil says that the demon in the game makes poops that later turn into monsters.

Do we know so far if they’ve got plans to meet up with anyone while in Japan? When I saw that Cornelia at least is still in London I got extra happy thinking that they are doing a trip with just themselves

I wouldn't be opposed to them meeting up with Duncan and Mimei. And their dog. Because if there's anything that could make Japhan even better it would be a dog.

I'll be sad if they leave Tokyo without meeting up with with Duncan and Mimei and stealing I mean meeting the puppy.

[knq]

Ya think dnp set up an actual Norman Cam so they can check on him while they're away? Phil was talking about installing lights he could control from his phone recently; I wouldn't be surprised if they had some security stuff hooked up too.

[alittledizzy]

Today's Content has started ahhhhhhhhhh.

[obvsly]

pardon my language but fuckin hell i'm amazed. The way this is going I would bet we'll get a joint selfie or two soon enough.

[Megancita75]

I have to laugh at the idea of Phil editing the green screen video on the plane. I can only wonder what the people behind him or walking down the aisle thought he was up to.

[Phantasy]

Audience participation + Dan? Whaaaa? Only in Japan I guess...

[alittledizzy]

oh my god that video is SO FREAKING CUTE

[onceinaugust]

That's adorable

[obvsly]

Phil laughing and cheering openly and Dan posting this knowing we can hear that clearly....

I won't survive this trip, guys.
