I basically just wanna know if they’re here in Manila or not because there’s a super typhoon coming near us and if they’re still not here, the show tomorrow is as good as cancelled already. It has started raining here and it would just continue getting stronger. Manila has lots of low lying areas that could become impassable when there’s slight rains. So there’s even a fear that some couldn’t come tomorrow. I think a lot of Filipino Phannies would just want reassurance that the show would go on, not to stalk where they are. A simple tweet, or even an IG story with a blank wall behind them, just telling us that they’re already here would quell our worries.
We’re literally gonna push through storm-induced rains for them. Least they could do is inform us if it’ll go through or not.

Sorry if I sound so bitter and pissed. I’m already stressing out about tomorrow. 😞

Oh ok yes that changes things I don't know how air travel usually gets effected if there is a typhoon danger I'm guessing it depends on the trajectory of the typhoon and how near it comes to the airport?
This shouldn't be on Dan and Phil really but on their [event managers?] [production company?] somebody who is responsible for communications and or planning, who should timely inform Dan and Phil so they could let know something well before people have to start speculating which plane they took. I hope it turns out well for all the Filipino fans :tu:

Weirding out strangers and laughing at those
Jaundiced and jaded, postured and posed
Not that we’re special it’s just that we’re
Closing in on a place where we might get to be

Something I didn't see anyone mention about the gaming video is after Dan said about the statue "It's got a perfect everything." he looked like he regretted it and was bracing for the phandom to attack or something, just like with the "DiD I deTect a pEnis?!?" thing. So yeah I'm glad people aren't coming for him like he might expect them to.

The typhoon is now within the Philippine Area of Responsibility. It will have its landfall this Saturday but it’s near enough to bring in heavy rains. Flights have been cancelled before over heavy rainfall so that’s our worry in case they’re just coming in.

I saw on Twitter that based on an ig story of a crew, some of the crew were already here 2 days ago. 😔

Eh I think it was comedic regret and he mentioned the penis at the end anyway.

It looks like Martyn and Cornelia will not be joining them in the Philippines. Really cute IG stories from Cornelia though.

@RiriPandaHeart2 I completely understand that concern. I hope we all have an answer in four hours.

And um good tidings from the shop:

They look good :love2: .

I'm still curious to know the reason why they did arrive in Manila just now since they said that the whole tour formed from their original plan to go "for a quest in Manila", and now it seems like they're gonna be there just for the day of their show, but oh well..

That might still be a delayed ig post from the person who met them, but I would have thought they'd planned to arrive a day or two before 12th in case anything happened. Still, they're here now.

I don't think it's a delayed ig post because I accidentally clicked on their ig stories and saw that they were at the airport like 2h ago.

I've seen people point out the "quest for Manila" a few times and I just want to say that I took it as much more of a "quest for Manila fans" than a quest for Manila, I've seen other youtubers comment how big and loud Manila fans are on social media, it wouldn't surprise me if they got quite a few requests during tatinof to bring the show there, so when planing ii they took it into consideration and made it happen, of course with a few bumps on the road but still, if they go and manage to do the m&g I'd be comfortable saying the Quest for Manila was conquered even if they don't get to do tourist stuff.

I'm definitely someone that took it as meaning they wanted to go to Manila, but current circumstances make me think you're totally right and that it was mostly about making sure fans in Manila got to see the show. In which case, I still feel for them because this show seems to be the one that's giving them the most issues all around between the shipping issues, the venue seemingly underselling, and now the weather.

I mean, they flew right during the typhoon started getting in Manila so if that's the case it was dumb. they had a show planned for today, so I'm assuming they had a flight planned for yesterday or at least the day before.

I wonder if along the delayed set they had issues with their visas at this point

I guess I meant more like, better stay in Australia where the weather is still nice, but I get what you mean. Might find out in just over an hour...

Wow, I hope everyone will be safe during this bad weather in the Philippines and that people will be able to make it to the venue. This sounds stressful :(
I'm a bit worried for the boys too. What if their flight to Singapore gets cancelled due to bad weather? They're on a pretty tight schedule, I hope everything will work out.

If my math hasn't failed me, the ls is in an hour. Can't wait!

Last Rize show Dan was uncertain whether they'd be in Manila on Tuesday and Phil shifted the next show to Thursday (in 50 minutes apparently) which sort of makes sense with their travel plans, but also they've certainly made today very hectic for themselves.

Phil said he wished they'd got to see more of Sydney as it was raining when they were there for their II show, so I think at least that far back they knew what their travel plans were. They're just very brave about cutting things close at airports.

@rizzo will try, but if anyone else wants to give it a go that'd be great too! i'm also okay with separate recordings of video and audio, i can hopefully edit them together.

That was tragically short but I'm not unhappy with it.

(I am, however, unhappy that they said only one more liveshow. I know we had the whole convo recently and everyone said they want regular liveshows but I just feel like the options here are 'rize vs nothing' not 'rize vs return to normal solo ones' and I'm gonna miss the fuck out of regular weekly content.)

Wow, how did I space this one? I knew it was at noon, but I started doing laundry and roasting an eggplant instead. Caught it at the beginning of the Truth Bombs, everyone was cute. Phone still got super hot. Looking forward to watching it back later. Thanks to anyone who recorded. I had hoped the ‘banging’ gaming video (was that the word Dan used?) was a hint at Truth Bombs or something, but it’s then Sims which is fine.

I don't know, I'm going to be cautiously optimistic. I really don't think that Rize will let them off the hook already, surely they have a contract for these live shows. That, if nothing else, should make it happen. I hope...
But of course their moods will be different once back home, we will get less anecdotes and more music, shows etc. I will definitely miss tour content.

Idk. I feel like they are definitely done with rize live shows once tour is done but I feel like dan will go back to doing live shows (maybe youtube live shows) but they probably won't be weekly. Maybe bi-weekly. I really can't see Phil going back to do live shows though, except maybe once a month.
