Dan's reaction to phil spelling supercalifragilisticexpialidocious totally gave me "PHIL LESTER YOU'RE A GENIUS" energy

If I lived in London and forgot to put the bins out at 2am, I'd probably want someone to come with me too.

Let me just change this to:

If I lived in London with Phil and forgot to put the bins out at 2am, I’d probably want him to come with me too so I wouldn’t have to stop looking at that wonderful face.



Dan being the most supportive of Phil, even if it means he has to wear The Crocs just gives me life tbh. They really do have the cutest relationship.

[kavat]

dnp are the kind of couple that takes the bins out together at 2am and I am not sure how I am supposed to feel about that.

I sent in a voice memo and was like "Why were BOTH of you taking out the bins at 2AM?"

Like...WHO does that?

They really have a talent for mentioning things in passing that just leads to more questions. Why would you take out the bins at 2am? Why do you have a metal ball on your balcony??

Just a lil IDB birthday #spon - we added a few new designs to the Redbubble shop! They all come as stickers but if you ever want a design on anything else Redbubble offers just let us know and we can make sure that's available too!



(Also stay tuned tomorrow for our update involving forum finances! Spoiler: you folks are amazing.)

[alittledizzy]

I gotta admit I find myself not super enthused to listen to that show again just because the secondhand embarrassment hit strong - I think Dan's story seemed way worse to me than Phil and I think it comes down to the fact that Dan's story involved having to explain something to another person with no real way to explain yourself out of it, while Phil seems to have gotten away with just him and Dan knowing about his embarrassment?

I also question the head of marketing for Harper Collins just dropping by for a chat DURING A PANDEMIC I mean in general I don't want anyone to ever drop by for a chat but why would you show up unannounced to someone's house in a situation like this? You can catch up over zoom.

The user stories were just a nope. Sorry people you're all valid I just have too much sympathetic anxiety over things like that. If someone else wants to do timestamps, please do, though!!

[starsandshards]

happy birthday IDB

i got such secondhand embarrassment from the stereo too, i struggle with things like that. i debated recording one of mine but thought better of it. i can't tell a story without rambling on and i'd just embarrass myself before i even got to the actual embarrassing part!!

Trust me - if your bins are only collected fortnightly (as is the case for some bins in London) and you remember at 2am they're getting collected in the morning, you be putting them out at 2am.

Who's the one saying "docious, docious" while Phil spells supercalifragilisticexpialidocious?? 40.43 in the IDB's stereo video

Phil

[Levitating]

Ah, lol! It completely did not sound like it to me; don't know why!!

[kavat]

While we''re in celebration mode here, Phil uploaded his first video 15 years ago! Let's appreciate baby Phil and his beautiful northern accent

[Levitating]

OMG HE'S THE CUTEST!

I alway had the impression that he did not post that "suddenly" but he had actually built up a community somewhere before Youtube? Is it right?

[inanerat]

I'm overwhelmed and a wee bit emotional about how much of his vibe is still so similar. Like just talking about what's going on in his life, asking random questions he doesn't know the answer to, switching topic constantly.

He's come so far but still the same Phil

[sorryimnotclever]

Coming out of my year long lurking hole to give ya'll some timestamps that no one asked for I only made it halfway because it took longer than an hour and I'm tired

Sorry for lack of capitalization, spelling and general format, i am on my buggy phone keyboard! Also this is my first time doing timestamps and i probably gave too much detailed information which is why im tired hehe

I love the timestamps!!

I forgot about the bread thing - god that's so domestic it hurts. It's so weird to remember that even five years ago that story would have been something they'd hesitate to share.

[alittledizzy]

Oh look they turned their router back on!

Dan's super cute.

[noodlebum]

They must be running out of possible ideas for the name of the stereo talks by now, I'm struggling to think of a catchy pair of words for them

[Megancita75]

Does anyone with publishing industry knowledge know how soon to Dan’s pub date would reviews appear in trade pubs? The week of? After the pub date?

I love isolating idiots

I was trying to think of something to go with 'gays' but the only thing I could think of was 'going nowhere gays' as in like, they aren't leaving the house, but it just sounds rude, like they're unsuccessful or something (which they very much aren't)
