I'm only just into the audio but I'm pretty sure Dan did not call the two II lights on stage phallic like he normally does... really seems like he was on best behavior for the in-laws!
Relevant tweet: So I'm thinking for Dan 'the physical embodiment of politeness and grace' is like a 50% reduction in dick jokes.

lets be real, the boy has got some real will power and self-restraint to be able to reduce his THIRST™ to a mere 50% when hes right next to a literal embodiment of all his desires

Multiple reports on twitter about Phil accidentally saying "our bedroom". Not sure about the context yet or if it's confirmed, guess we'll wait for audio
Yes i'm bored fite me
Looked through twitter and Tumblr and still haven’t found the context to this so I doubt it’s true just demons fantasizing
I'm dubious about it too. Hopefully we'll have audio from the show to clear it up.
I was there, and I'm pretty sure that didn't happen.
(if anybody knows which part of the show that apparently happened in(?) I can check back the audio if you like)
Also, to clear up that other thing (some) people are mis-quoting / taking out of context from tonight -

Question - What form of torture would make Dan confess everything?
Answer - Phil leaving him alone for an hour
[Dan] - "are you kidding me, that's not what would make me confess everything that's what I dream about at night, release me"
[Phil] "but I did have to teach you how to use a bottle opener earlier so I think you need someone nearby"
[Dan] "ok wow well I have to teach you to just frickin' turn a tap on over a cactus"
[Dan] "so i guess we both need each other"
I was pretty sure it wasn't real or it was in context but I like to report the Twitter rumours and see how wild they can get each night :lol:

That spoiler thing I saw going around with full context and I was wondering how long it would take before people took it out of context and turned into a thing

The family discussion is interesting, but I think there's some bias around with how someone perceive their relationship around those years in particular. I always thought their families knew from early on, Phil's probably earlier than Dan, but still before Dan moved to Manchester. He went to visit Phil /they saw each other somehow basically once every 10 days, I can't imagine their parents didn't question it at least once, especially since they must have known some of their money was funding those trips. I would imagine once it turned into something more serious they knew
Will probably never be over the BONCAS and the beauty of Phil Lester.

lmao good job there howell, gotta hve a good impression to the lesters....but it does make me wonder,
ill make this one spoiler-free, i think it should be fine? all these talk about their family members coming to their shows makes me think things. im just wondering -if deppy really ARE dating (i mean, is this even a question now in 2018) - how much does their family know? and when did they tell?

im just looking back at their past years and how they talked about stuff, like obviously it was never mentioned by them so we could never really know. but what if they were still closeted to their families like circa 2010~2012? it would make sense considering how stressed they were back then. and what if only certain family members knew? what if none knew at all? theres so many factors. im not really wanting to dive deeper nor do i want these questions answered, i just think its an interesting perspective to think about in terms of their journey to feeling more comfortable with their own selves and their mental health in general throughout the years. it makes me sympathize more towards them. im sure theyve struggled with their own set of problems behind the scenes, that we, as fans, dont really get to see.

all in all, im just happy for them right now.
I always thought Phil's family always knew, or at least knew since it became serious, because let's face it Phil is a mama's boy. I feel like he tells his mom everything. I think Dan's parents were maybe told later. This isn't because I have some preconceived notions about dan and his family that the phandom love to speculate about but it's mainly because of tweets from around 2009 that made it seem like dan's parents didn't like him traveling to visit Phil. But dan mentioned in a liveshow that back in 2011, Phil came down to Wockingham with him for his mom's birthday so I feel they had to be out by then. Like it's kind of hard to explain how a platonic friend will travel all the way from Manchester with you to celebrate the other friends' moms bday.
ETA that when I say family I'm only talking about their parents, siblings, and maybe dan's grandma since they are really close. Phil has a ridiculously large family, based on what he has said, so I really doubt that they were out to everyone.
We barely know anything about their family dynamics, so I don't see how we can say anything about these things that goes beyond, basically, fantasizing what they could be sharing or not with their families. How long did it even take to know Dan had a brother? Martyn and Cornelia, we at least have a twitter account. But none of them really have a habit of talking about private matters with their family. We know they exist, we know they've visited each other's family and they sometimes get a mention here or there but it's a couple of words at best without any of the necessary context to interpret what's going on.
Are they out as a couple to their families? Well no, I don't think they're dating (just soulmates) and I think their families know them as good friends of their son. Which they live with and which they are building an incredible career with, so I do think they realize this person is important to them more than your 'average friend' you introduce to your family.

If this isn't allowed here feel free to move it but...

I MET THEM AND IT WAS AMAZING OMG :dead:
They're so, so nice in person. We were one of the last people to meet them (I was number 103) and a group of us got taken into the room where the M&G was happening and they came out from behind their backdrop and thanked us all for coming and Dan said 'nice hat' to me (thank you to @thephandommenace for the early 23rd birthday present that got senpai to notice me). Can I just say the Phil's glo up is so much more evident in person?! Fucking hell.

I went up with my girlfriend (the infinitely more photogenic one of us who isn't wearing the lion hat) and they hugged both of us, thanked us for coming, and asked what we wanted signing. Then I asked if I could say something to them and said thank you to Phil for making videos because after a really bad mental health night in August 2012 my friend showed me an AmazingPhil video and said it was impossible to be sad when watching his videos and thats something I still stand behind 6 years later and he said thank you and was just so sweet :garbage:. And Dan was pretty much beaming at him and then I said thank you to Dan for talking about his mental health and dropping out of university because it inspired me to tell my mum I was dropping out and going to the University of Manchester and that was the best decision of my life because I met my girlfriend there. And he looked really touched that I said that to him and then my fucking girlfriend had to tell Dan I asked her out with a meme of him...

...and because its Daniel Howell he was like 'oh my god what meme' so I showed him and he was like 'oh my god what have I done to the world' :lol: and then he asked us if we wanted photos and he took the one decent one (minus my fucking moonface - I need to lose weight fml) where they both look STUNNING and then a second one where he somehow captured me laughing so hard I was full on blepping :facepalm2: and then they said bye and we got our VIP bags and waited for our friends to be done.

And because @somethingsketchy is amazing for her photo we got a group photo with the 6 of us and Dan was like 'even my arms aren't long enough for this one' and got one of the crew to take the picture for us. I said something like 'I'm the shortest so I'll get to the front' and Dan was like 'I'm tall so I'll get to the back' and we got a group picture with Dans fucking peace sign in it :lol: I am truly blessed. (he even mentioned doing the awkward peace sign)

Honestly it was amazing. Like they're both so tall and huggable (but you didnt need me to say that and I'm glad I didnt say that to them) and they're very, very sweet in person. And Dan had stubble that wasn't visible in pictures so what I'm saying is that its a good job Phil wasn't wearing his glasses because otherwise I would have literally died.

and we had front row tickets to the show as well which was just incredible. I was nearly fucking crying laughing in parts, especially because (putting under a spoiler but its not really a spoiler?)
Dan legitimately accidentally kicked the stage and I thought he was going to fall over at one point
and the ACTUAL spoilers - including an Infinity War Spoiler...
DAN WITH THE TRUTH BOMBS ABOUT THE LOKI AND THOR FAN FICTION like you could hear the crowd be like 'oh my god no' when he said that'll be sad now :lol:

and the bit with the beach ball was amazing because I ended up with the 'G' from Purple Gimp

and HOW THE FUCK DID DAN NOT KNOW WHAT PHIL GOT HIS MUM FOR MOTHERS DAY 2006 - me and the girl next to me were like 'its a monkey in a cage' 'DANIEL ITS A MONKEY IN A CAGE'

oh and I will forever be in love with how Phil got a slingshot and bow and arrow mixed up. Iconic.

AND HOW DID I FORGET. The beginning sequence. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES. The amount of Phan satire I am living.
all together yesterday can be summed up best in the words of Dan Howell,
Image

and I am so, so grateful to Dan and Phil and their entire team for making the experience so wonderful.

@sparkle loved reading your M&G story, very sweet, especially what you and your gf told them (and your moon face is adorable btw).

Looking forward to reading more stories here, though I suppose I should check out the sub forums for show reviews.

Yay Lester women!

Yay supportive SBFASF!
(super best friends and soulmates forever) People who have been to more recent shows, did the “super” get dropped?
I only hear Laurel :shrug:

It is indeed a day off for them.

I’m so tired.

Thanks! :') honestly it was perfect, and thank you. My girlfriend is definitely the more well dressed out of the two of us though :lol: as soon as I met them I was like 'MUST TELL EVERYONE HOW ADORABLE THIS WAS' also they sound slightly different in person which threw me off initially. And all I remember about hugging Dan was how black his outfit was, and how soft it was :lol:

thank you :lol: I'm amazed I got everything out and didnt becoming a blubbering mess which I was worried about because they do mean SO MUCH to me and have for years (and thanks for the moonface love. I really should post the outtake here though because Dan really did capture me at my worst)

re:familything - i know i was the one who brought it up but i was going at it aware that everything is just a speculation. we will never know how it really is because we never witnessed it ourselves - and even then, they arent obligated to share private things to us fans. i brought it up because i thought it could be a possible stressor from behind-the-scenes back then and in contrast to how they act now. im sure they have been close to their families in their own way, im not denying that, but sometimes there are things you wouldnt share or have trouble sharing with a loved one - especially with lgbt. to me, i find it compelling because i have a hard time sharing my thoughts to my own family (like my mental health), so to think that there is that struggle and that theyve overcame it, is inspiring. and @liola is right, there IS going to be some bias from us because we only see snippets of it. sometimes they could be unreliable narrators as well.

anyways, im #teamlaurel

@sparkle omg your story of meeting them is so sweet!!!! You and your gf are adorable! I was really hoping that people on idb would post pics if they meet them, as i always think its so cool to put faces behind the usernames i see so often! :D

re: yanny vs laurel. I hadn't heard about that yet when i first woke up this morning (and I always check deppy stuff before anything else oops) so I was like wtf are these boys talking about :lol: When i first listened it sounded like yanny, but I agree with Dan i can hear both. Its like the dress color thing -- you just have to focus more on which one you're looking/listening for

@sparkle thanks so much for posting about your II experience! I've been thinking I want to hear more stories/reviews (and see more pix :lilheart: ). Hearing about Dan's stubble is exactly what I want more of. :fan:

I've copied your post over to the thread for the show. Anyone should feel free to do that, and if you've been, tell us about it either here or in the show threads!
