Dan & Phil Part 77: getting that d........vitamin

[sonicgreen]

Thanks you two @autumnhearth @Ataraxia25 for the IDB anniversary wishes
...aaand im the top of the page

[autumnhearth]

Yay @sonicgreen so glad to have you with us! And you too @Ataraxia25

This is a bit random, but I was comparing DNA testing services and reading about 23andme when this made me do a double take: ‘23andMe was founded in 2006 by Linda Avey, Paul Cusenza and Anne Wojcicki, ex-wife of Google founder Sergey Brin, to “help people access, understand and benefit from the human genome.”’

First I’m not sure why I thought the company was founded by Priscilla Chan, I guess all the jokes about Zuck owning their DNA (which yeah, you can share your results on FB, but you can also keep it private).

What is more interesting to me than Anne Wojcicki’s ex-husband, is that her sister, Susan, is the CEO of YouTube. Phil’s mom’s nurse friend my ass. It might not have been an official spon video, but I would bet lots of YouTubers were sent the test.

thaaaaaanks!

alos, okay, this summer i did the exact same thing and i was also surprised by the fact it's not her company! i'm pretty sure it was dan or phil who said that the company was owned by Priscilla Chan, (i guess because otherwise why would i remember that)

and going also a bit random here : there is this conspiracy that google want to have as much info as possible about us and use youtubers to urge us to do these tests as well. (for reference, i got this from one of Shane Dawson's conspiracy videos)

I thought one of them said it too and I wouldn’t be surprised if they got the two confused. I searched the forum to see if it was discussed. I guess I’m off to rewatch the vids and corresponding liveshows.

Before today, I never really realized the lengths to which I was willing to go to watch a liveshow live... Personal story time under the spoiler:

Picture it: I was talking on the phone while driving to the airport. Generally speaking, I’m against looking at your phone while driving, but I happened to see that Phil had tweeted about a liveshow as I was hanging up. I realized that I was going to arrive basically as the liveshow was starting...not so ideal as I was scheduled to arrive about a half hour before my flight took off. Foolishly, since Phil had sent the original tweet, I believed that the liveshow was happening on his account, so I had his YouNow profile up as I was pulling into the airport parking lot. Dan tweeted as I was walking into the airport, and I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t getting the video. I kept refreshing as I walked up to security, but there was nothing.

I got through security as quickly as I ccould, and I finally had the presence of mind to check the home page of YouNow. Sure enough, the stream was there, and it turned out it was on Dan’s account. I watched the stream as I walked to my gate, and I waited until the last possible moment to board, thinking I’d lose reception once I got on the plane. Thankfully, I didn’t, and Dan and Phil said goodbye about two minutes before the flight attendant said we had to switch our mobile devices to airplane mode. I’ve landed now, and it looks like I only missed the first six minutes of the show, so, all in all, I guess it worked out pretty well.

Long story short: I wasn’t able to take notes during the liveshow for timestamps like I usually do, but I plan to do that tomorrow morning. I definitely saw some things worth highlighting!

oh gosh that was quite an airport rush scene lol
tbh same, i was halfway on my break and i kept refreshing but it was alreayd 5 minutes past the time phil said theyd do it so i was internally going like "oh well i guess i wont be able to watch it then" but i was thankfully wrong

I'm glad I'm not the only one who made this mistake! As promised (to no one in particular), here are my highlights from yesterday's liveshow:

• [1:05] They talk about donating a bunch of stuff to charity.
• [2:00] Phil says he’s a Londoner. Dan pulls some faces.

  P: I’m fully London, mate! Let’s shine your shoes and get ourselves some fish and chips.
  D: I’m offended, and neither of us are from London.
  P: Hey, we are! I--I’d--I’d say, when you live most of your life, like... How long has it been? Like, how many years have we lived in London?
  D: Six?
  P: I think we could say we’re Londoners now.
  D: Maybe.
  P: Shine your shoes?
  D: I feel like you’re being highly problematic, Phil.
  P: I'm not! I'm not.

• [3:23] After some encouragement from Dan, Phil drags a large bamboo plant into the shot. Phil says it’s like an Instagram filter. Dan complains several times about Phil ruining the carpet.
• [7:06] Dan and Phil act out themselves seeing Interactive Introverts from the perspective of the audience for the first time. It sounds like they might be their own biggest fans.
• [9:24] Dan sasses Phil.

  P: Hi to Joselina, the number one fan, and also Ellie--Elise.
  D: Uh, well, actually, Ellie--Ellie89--
  P: Ellie--Ellie89.
  D: --is now number one--
  P: Oh, my gosh. It’s like Formula 1.
  D: --then Joselina, then... Oh, wow. You can make Formula 1 references, can you?
  P: I--I’ve been! I know all the facts.
  D: There we go. He’s gone. You--You can say that now.

• [10:12] They had some “friends” on tour, and their group chat was called “Lads on Tour.” Now, it’s called “Lads off Tour.” I'm intrigued.
• [10:43] Dan waves his finger while saying “TBC.” Don't judge me for including this...I thought it was funny.
• [12:03] Phil hits Dan with a pillow.
• [12:09] Dan pulls a ton of silly faces.
• [12:34] Dan sarcastically disapproving of Phil showing/talking about some free stuff they were sent:

  D: They’re getting exactly what they want. They’re getting exactly what they wanted right now.

• [13:01] Phil shows a copy of An Absolutely Remarkable Thing sent to them by Hank Green. There’s lots of fun bants here. Hank also wrote a personal message to each of them:

  D: “Dan, here is a book I wrote. It’s about a young person who gets destroyed by ambition and fame and about robots. Thank you for being such a thoughtful and careful person in the face of the power you’ve been given.”
  ...
  P: “Thank you for being such a good and thoughtful maker of things and communities.”

• [14:58] Dan will make a new “danisnotonfire” video when he “feels it.” (And I say: Good for him!) Phil is already in the “AmazingPhil zone” (a phrase first used at [11:42]), and he thinks Dan is just “touching the edge of the danisnotonfire zone.” They both act out touching the danisnotonfire zone.
• [15:01] Phil makes a face because the magnet is pinching his skin.
• [15:43] Dan and Phil on Joe Sugg:

  
  P: He’s got rhythm!
  ...
  D: *rolls eyes* He obviously has rhythm.

• [17:57] Dan was jealous that people got to eat food during the intermission at the Mumbai show. He grins creepily and keeps getting closer to the camera as he talks about this. I was all about it.
• [20:15] Phil says he’s taking something off because it’s annoying. Dan looks over at him and asks what he’s taking off. Phil says his Spider-Man badge, and Dan gives a prolonged smug angelic look to the camera because he felt that Phil had admitted that he was right about what the badge was.
• [21:55] Nail painting:

  D: “Dan, why didn’t you paint your nails?” Because I had no one to paint them--
  P: Paint it yourself.
  D: --and I can’t do it myself. I’m really bad.
  P: I could do it.
  D: *rolls eyes* We--You did--You--
  P: That would end well.
  D: You did that once, and it didn’t end well.
  P: Hey. I thought I was pretty good.

• [22:43] Dan and Phil have lots of interesting pronunciations of “Schenectady.” I thought they were cute.
• [24:33] Dan asks when Phil’s going to start Spooky Week. I thought this was interesting. Also, there are some more fun Dan faces.
• [26:58] Dan appreciating the Instagram story (reproduced in the spoiler) of Greg Brown from AsapSCIENCE:

  D: He’s talented.
• [28:03] Phil corrects Dan, saying they were finishing editing the movie rather than filming it, and Dan makes even more incredible faces. Great way to end the liveshow, I must say.

Omg, the ig video of Greg and the rose stem gag reflex indeed.

Interesting that one of the 23andme people is the YouTube CEO’s sister and maybe they and Google want more people’s DNA. I mean, maybe they don’t, benefit of the doubt, but if they do, then sneaky sneks.

[Ablissa]

Ummm excuse me you're not allowed to post such cute pics of Dan, Phil. I don't care about the messed up filter, look at his freaking smile. ugh

[glitterintheair]

God, I love this picture so much. Dan's smile is so sweet, he should definitely smile more like this in pics. I mean, look at him, for god's sake!

[kavat]

I fully thought that was supposed to be a lipstick kiss on Dan's cheek. But no, it was just Phil posting a picture of Dan being cute, nothing new there!

[Ataraxia25]

THEY FINISHED IT!!

i love that dan is so proud of themselves and the show

[flarequake]

Aww, I love how Dan goes from loud and obnoxious to soft, he’s sweet. Looks like the ig filter lips want to go back on tour

Even more interesting that she was also previously married to Google co-founder Sergey Brin

[ratlad]

they finished!!!!! hell yes! they better sleep for an entire week straight on a giant memory foam mattress surrounded by fluffy pillows, with an additional feeding tube and catheter.

[autumnhearth]

Aww cute instastories, great job boys! What I came here to share though is that I started watching Phil’s DNA Test Results vid and got a Trojan ad taking about so much sexy sex in the world and so many different kinds of sex and if it’s okay if your confused

[liola]

*moving 2.0 tingles intensify*

[rizzo]

*moving 2.0 tingles intensify*

I got those very same tingles.

[glitterintheair]

Hmmm. Hmmmmm.

[LurkingTrash]

The liveshow was so nice! I watched yesterday live but surprisingly I had more trouble with younow than rize, but at least it didn't drain my phone battery while making it so hot I couldn't hold my phone in my hand and you could see Phils face without the stickers; so I rewatched the upload today because I missed quite a few bit and here's my thoughts:

0:21 When will they stop saying they're not ready to have a dog?
1:30 Talk about the apartment feeling too small - I bet they can't wait for the forever home too
Honorable mention to re-buying house plants
2:02-2:30 The many faces Dan pulls while hearing Phil talk here are incredible
3:04 people already pointed this face that Dan pulls when looking at Phil getting the plant but it's legit so cute I have to point it out again
3:27 - 4:04 I was laughing way too loud at them here, like what they hoped they would accomplish dragging that massive plant?
4:14 Dan talking about getting plants away from Phils hands like yes, please, save them
6:50 They are so proud of the tour I'm so happy they deserve to feel like this
12:17 I missed on the live Phil hitting Dan with the pillow but that was so soft and cute
13:14 Hank Green! Talk about his book (I really want to read that, it sound like a good one) and what lovely messages he wrote them! I could write a few pages about how much I like the guy and how his interactions with both DnP and the phandom are always positive, it's so refreshing to see that. (also bonus Dan blushing at the message!)
14:17 bants about a badge, they look like they forgot they are live and we are third wheeling here.
14:31 PHIL, he just said "take your sass back, Howell" and I freaking died! Did anybody catch that? I...
15:57 Dan won't take anyone saying bad things about Phil, not even Phil himself
16:30 "god, do you wanna go or should I?"
17:30 they are cute, that's it, that's the point
20:15 "I'm taking this off" Dan reacted so fast + more bants about the badge
21:05 sassy Phil
24:00 Celebration pizza grease on the sofa, I didn't need to know about that, thanks.
27:15 Yes xmas baking! thats all we want!!!!
27:38 "I love you but I'm hungry" "I'm a lesbian, hi" I just did two double takes there, both got me shook for like half a second until my brain processed what was going on
28:20 whyy do they have to talk fast and at the same time, why do that to non native english speakers? I had to watch it like 5 times to understand everything

Aaaand while I was writing they posted about finishing the editing, so glad, so proud of them, hope they get a bit more of rest now and can't wait to watch it when it comes out

[Amiaw]

Didn’t Phil say that they still had some work to do on the movie - sound mixing, etc and that they would be there for it? If that’s happening next week then we will probably still get content from them for a few more days

[ratlad]

i guess ii really was just a way to fund their forever home.,,, they really did play us like that, fellas! Real Eyes Realize . . . . .

[lesterchuu]

talking about the dna test videos reminds me of that part in dans video where he was being emotional over his genes enabling him to potentially have a "red headed" child...................

[Ablissa]

Dan had a haircut:


Not sure how I feel about it, but his smile is cute af.

As for moving... I want to believe... but it feels like way too soon...

[autumnhearth]

And yet in that haircut instastory... I spy with my little eye... a lamp.

Maybe the clothes donation was to thwart the moths too.

That actually makes a lot of sense. Maybe they had another moth infestation while they were away.

wow how can a human being be so cute and beautiful? i don't know, im emotional i love him so much

[Amiaw]

*moving 2.0 tingles intensify*

I might have missed this earlier but as much as I want to believe in the move I think Dan is referring to the moth and lamp meme with this tweet If all of their lamps are gone in the next live show I'll gladly be wrong though

I think so too, but still. I'm looking forward to a few months of everyone looking for moving hints, it was great the first time.

Anyway, Phil posted an instastory and it seems his haircut was in the moon room
