just to add: If your post is related to D&P then this does not need to go under off topic, even if it's a completely different discussion from the one occurring.

Also, as to not lose new discussion, the last post from the previous thread.

I'll start with:
-they'll talk more about the live gaming (maybe even give a date of when they'll start.. lol no that's too much)
-Phil will do a terrible Scottish accent
-they'll insult Canada when talking about geoguessr

Just trying to manage expectations :D

Just trying to manage expectations :D
- Dan adds 'dingdong' to at least five separate phrases, at least one of them sounding euphemistic
- they'll talk more about live gaming but only to say they're 'practicing' or the software is tricky
- Dan makes a sexually suggestive comment about anime boy/musician/actor/Troye Sivan, Phil pretends not to hear it
- They actually insinuate that their posting schedule has been slow all of August because of a one hour interview they're doing at the end of the month
- Dan seeding an excuse for not doing his liveshow next week either

[offtopic]why is this thread not 'sticky and cherry scented' c'mon guys :lol:[/offtopic]

i'm hoping tonight's live show is good - I can't watch it live but I'm in desperate need of cheering up after I exceeded my own limits of projecting onto Dan by punching an entire pint of water into my MacBook... kill me now.

Off topic,
thanks for the warm welcomes a few pages back (God these threads move fast), everyone is super friendly here. Glad I stopped lurking and started posting :)
I am on the edge of my seat for today's live show, I love Dip n Pip interactions period. I could watch THEM watch paint dry. Keeping my expectations low though, as usual. I expect they'll announce their interview, and i expect we won't get to see any new angles of the house :(

Everyone on Tumblr is theorizing they've gotten a dog, but I just really, really don't see that. Sigh. These boys keep me on my toes for sure.

Dan, baristas and muffins are just the epitome of traumatic awkward, poor boy.

Adding to my liveshow prediction: Dan spends an inordinately long amount of time talking about the muffin tweet, while we suffer and wait for him to say something we actually care about.

This awkward Dan tweets (or at least most of them) just so coincidentally happen before a liveshow. I'm sure he/they have more stuff to talk about, and I'm not saying that he does this to have some content but, that's exactly what I'm saying. :roll:

I wish you were wrong, but let's face it, that's exactly what's going to happen.
My prediction: Phil will plug their merch (they just sent out a newsletter about discounts) and Dan will make fun of him for it.

Edit: Am I the only one that thinks the stuff they tweet about doesn't actually happen? I get the #relatable #awkward brand but... if it's all real, my god, I would never leave the house if I were them :lol:

Yep, that's definitely another thing that's going to take up some of the ls.

Once again, the Dan and Phil school sale comes AFTER schools are back in my country. Great :(

I usually get excited for their liveshows, especially joint ones, but I feel like they will definitely plug the merch (and the new notebook that conveniently comes out before people go back to school) and talk about dan's totally awkward encounter at the coffee shop. That and the talk thing they're going to be in. Honestly, I'm kind of bored of them right now, not sure if it's necessarily the content because we do get quite a bit. Who knows, I can't really articulate myself right now as I woke up from a 3 hour nap and my eyes hurt. To put it simply, I'm just a bit like 'meh' like I could take the content or leave it. (I feel like it is mostly Dan at this point, but I can't put my finger on why.)

Yep I feel the exact same. Conveniently had an 'awkward moment' for them both to comment on for a good 10 minutes. Maybe this is it, it's become predictable and that's why it's boring to me. Who the hell knows.

I'm sure quite a few things they tweet about either don't happen or are in some way exaggerated. Bit like those tumblr story ending with 'and then they all clapped'. Obviously awkward things do happen and they seem to happen more often to some people then others but I think they might make stuff out as more awkward then they seem. Like maybe the first part of the tweet was true but Dan's reply was made up? Idk though, could be all real or all fake. They are good storytellers so when they retell tweets in videos or liveshows I like to take what they say with a inch of salt.

Yes to all of this. Plug merch, talk about safe zany tweet, plug the interview coming up, light bants, the end. Brb while I cry. I'd do anything for an actual spontaneous not scripted joint live show!

At least they confirmed Phil was also there and had to suffer through that awkward pun as well. In what world was Dan's reply not completely strange? That boy, I stg.

Speaking of the LS, anyone else having a lot of lag/disconnects? I usually watch on Tumblr but it's been unplayable so far.

It's like they've got a checklist based on IDB predictions and they're going through it. Deppy read IDB confirmed *illuminati thingy*

Edit: Dan spoke briefly about the walk on Tuesday, but when asked who he went with, he said 'you don't know them'.

idk why but Dan's annoying the shit out of me. Can he shut up and let Phil speak for two seconds on his own liveshow?

That's the reason the LS was delayed - they were just hoping for us to come up with more content to talk about ▲

I hope they talk about something that isn't directly related to something they've tweeted already.

Okay they've covered the new merch, Perkins interview, and awkward muffin story. There's a lot of time left!

I find it hard to watch. He always interrupts Phil, even when Phil is talking about his own video!
