Dan & Phil Part 8: Clickedy-dick

[Lain]

So basically the only consistent thing everyone can find is that buses don't come with two bedrooms.

That's the only conclusion I could come to, yep.

I will never be tired of the bus talk until it's figured out for sure. Does this one you found come in red? They appear to be travelling in the red one, or at least they got out of it in Jacksonville.

(Also, I love that we're just trying so hard to find the thing they described to us... two bedrooms in at least a kind of similar bus... and yet... it's nowhere to be found... )

I could only find one in red (like, cherry red), but it was another 12 bunk!

I'm sure given a few more days (and a few more bus sightings), we'll have completely debunked Dan's tweet.

[sweetmm]

Dark maroon is the bus on whereas the dark blue/black is the crew as the crew guy tweeted that bus. I had seen many tour bus and had never came across one that has 2 bedrooms, I think when Dan tweeted he forgot to put a comma in the sentence

I'm waiting for a phanrazzi photo of all their vehicles together; seriously it is quite impressive as they are sponsoring their US Tour and they doing it big

I gave up on searching for buses cuz I found out that Prevost LeMirage XLII Entertainer series are just shells, inside is up for conversion. So we have no way of knowing the layout UNLESS we find out where they rented the bus. But i'm sure we can because we are sherlocks.

But normally they come with 12 bunks or 6 bunks + a room.

Yeah I realized a lot of the inside is up for conversion but just given everything that needs to fit inside a bus (sitting area, kitchen area, bathroom) the conversion options are limited. You basically have the option for a bedroom plus bunks or only bunks and I've never seen one converted to have the second bunk area also be a bedroom. (Or the front lounge area be a bedroom.) It's not impossible, just seems unlikely given the information we currently have.

But the real question is, is it possible to convert the queen bed into two single bed?

Well, if we agree that a bus with two bedrooms doesn't exist, at least one of the busses has to be a one-bedroom-and-several-bunks layout.
The other one could be the same or only bunks.

What i would like to know is how the people are divided on the buses.

I'd like to believe that they wouldn't make martyn and cornelia sleep in bunks, because martyn is about as tall as they are and he is part owner of IRL, that has to count for something. That would mean that the second bus is the same layout and Martyn+Cornelia are in the bedroom there.
So IF the second bus has a bedroom too, that means have to share their bus with strangers, i don't think they can have a bus alone.
IF the second bus is only bunks, then Martyn and Cornalia could be in the bus with them and the rest of the crew would be in the second bus (12 bunks could probs fit all). In that case, maybe they have sofas that turn into beds for Martyn and Cornelia? Then they all have bigger beds and don't have to sleep in bunks.

So many possibilities and it's none of my business, but i really want to know

EDIT: And if they make a video, they could pretend one of them has the bedroom and the other sleeps on the sofabed, and ignore that Martyn and Cornelia sleep there. That could work.

All this bus talk. Need to properly read it all.

Funny thing is some of the phandom might not even know what a VHS is haha

Jokes aside but this might help. Looking for a bus with a VHS player.

Quick note: the stage set and lighting equipment is pretty elaborate for this show, so having two tractor-trailer / 18 wheelers to transport all their gear would not surprise me. Re: the tour bus(es): while it's fun to speculate who will ultimately win the battle for the bedroom, keep in mind that tours typically use hotels for catching real sleep and showering, interviews, etc. when the schedule allows. Anyway, the crew bus might be on site more often providing support at the venue, while the star bus rolls up at the appropriate time. But there are so many variations to the formula - it just depends on their needs.

there *are* tour buses with two bedrooms, rare as they are - I'm sorry I don't remember who originally linked this & looking for it'd be hell - http://senatorscoaches.com/#prettyPhoto: if you look at "star coaches", there's bunks, bathrooms, lounge areas and 2 bedrooms, but I have no way of knowing if it could all fit in the bus they've rented.

[phamnotof]

well... dedication, I suppose?

[akui]

Seriously I believe they have two 6 bunk + 1br buses, they are not monsters, Matynelia also deserve double beds. And it's more efficient if Martynelia take the merch crew and half of the procution crew, while deppy take the other half of the production crew, their flipside manager and securities. Plus IRL Digital what IRL Digital, more like Lesters Ltd amiright

The 6 bunk I linked to earlier has a VCR.

I for one don't believe it.
It would just make much more sense to share the room, even if they are just friends. At least that is what I would do.

[PolarFox]

Poor Dan's body, if he has to sleep in a bunk. Also ofc he let his youtube senpai have the better room

Yeah, seriously someone send them a guidebook of how to be platonic friends, do they have no real life friends or what, this is even more suspicious than sharing a room.

I'm just gonna believe that, because all i see there is pictures of different buses and none of them look like they have a second bedroom, guess i'm blind
EDIT: I understand the intense denial of the sleeping arrangement, because if the phandom thought they are sharing a bed (platonic or not) they'd lose their shit, i'm sure. But yeah, it's a bit over the top
But just imagine, you have been careful to always get seperate beds when travelling together to not look suspicious and then you run into a situation where sharing a bed is kind of inevitable, i'd be overcompensating too.

I give up with these two. Honestly I do.

I'm exasperated and you know what my headcanon is now? They're bullshitting the people they're touring with and therefore aren't even lying because they're keeping up appearances with these people on the bus.

[alittledizzy]

I hope the tweet is just because they realized they fucked up answering the fan yesterday and needed to get a firm response out there ahead of more questions.

And I also hope that's the end of them addressing it, because I get why and I'm sympathetic to them not wanting to deal with all the questions, but ugh.

They really have no clue how platonic friends behave. Maybe that is what you get when you only ever hang out with other couples.

I just can't see any logic in responding to, and/or bringing attention to the separate bedroom AGAIN.

Because they want to keep up the appearances so that Martyn have to squeeze inside a bunk? Well screw them.

Not sure whether this been posted here

basically all of his @replies were about it, so I suppose it might have been an attempt to move on? not that it worked, but...
