Aww, Phil's school friend Mark is back to do photography! I wonder if he'll only drop in for a few shows (like last time) or if he'll be a regular tagalong?

[ratlad]

oh boy, dan made a joke in the monster pops video when phil got condensed milk all over him and that's the first thing i thought of...
they're re creating the milk fic, of course.

ooo, what if he's a crew member now or something?

A little late on the drink discussion but it looked like the makings of an Irish coffee to me; coffee, whiskey, and baileys Irish cream. It was just the first thought that came to me.

Also yeah I’m glad I’m not the only one whose mind went there.

I love this! I like that Mark's back and Phil is giving him promo on his IG story!

It's nice to see the return of folks from TATINOF. That's when you know they're trusted and appreciated. :')

Not gonna lie, I’d love it if he was there for the whole tour. I’d love another DAPGO style book full of nice tour photos and domestic goodness.

[Catallena]

I think it'll only be for a few days. They mentioned filming and stuff only happening during the first few shows right?

[liola]

Oh I hope he shares some good pictures because I actually really loved DAPGO so much!

Also yeah add me to the list of people whose mind went there at Dan's instagram story especially because he was the one filming it Lmao

[knq]

I can't believe the first show is so soon! It hardly seems worth coming up with complex theories when we'll just know from the first audience members so soon.

And I don't even know how to process this more than daily content. Is this how regular people in 2018 use social media? Show people what they're doing every few hours? Or is it a celebrity/YouTuber thing? I'm shook.

Did I use shook right? I'm feeling very out of touch today.

Edit: Also also also, Instagram stories are naturally mirrored or something right? Because Phil's utensil's are on his left and I feel like he's the right handed one. I'm not like 100% sure after the re-branding to Phil & Phil though.

Oh right, good point with the lactose intolerance bit, how did I forget? (Though Gurnsey milk is A2 and perhaps he could tolerate it, it is more likely that it’s a non-dairy product in this case).

My reaction to the mess on Phil’s shirt was just a big sigh.

Yay Mark!

[rizzo]

Incredible, what these IG stories have done, isn't it? Not one fan (that I've seen) has bat an eyelash at the fact that our last video was almost a week ago. (I recognize that a live show is also content, but idk. I feel like this was was last minute to clarify more about TIIT and if there were no IG Stories, fans would probably be complaining at this point.)

My point isn't that I want another video, it's that I hope this entices D&P to continue doing IG stories even after tour ends. Or, at the very least, don't let this die out for while...

[alittledizzy]

If Phil is any kind of self-respecting lactose intolerant person........ he regularly says "fuck it" and indulges anyway. (Also, he probably can get away with some milk/dairy in a day. Different types of dairy definitely impact me differently, but within what I intake on a daily basis I know how much can go in my coffee, I know if I want ice cream or mac and cheese I just gotta only pick one and adjust what goes into my coffee, etc.)

It really depends on the person. I rarely share that way, though did record a sort of DITL via Instagram stories right before Christmas. I make YT videos though, so knew it’d be something my followers would be interested in.

Stories are mirrored when the front camera is used. The utensils look correct though. He’d be using the fork in his left hand (and knife in his right).

[somethingsketchy]

Do other countries not have lactose-free milk? Where I live, no one with lactose intolerance would use dairy-free milk alternatives without being vegan because lactose-free dairy products are a lot cheaper.

[flarequake]

We do have it in the UK, but I’ve usually only seen soya milk offered in hotels. It’s less likely to be tea in his second cup since he already has coffee, but if they asked in advance, a hotel could probably supply something different.

[wiccamoody]

Ooo the stage looks great! I'm on the hype train tbh

[flarequake]

They both look so good, so does the set. Dan’s even looking relaxed (no hand gestures).

[liola]

They look amazing, the stage looks really cool and professional and futuristic and I'm officially excited! Bring on the spoilers I can't wait

[autumnhearth]

Alright seeing the zoomed in pics I take back my thoughts on Phil’s white shoulder stripes. They look great against the set and emphasize his broad shoulders.

[knq]

@topdanhowellmemes Oh... oh right. *returns to spooning ice cream from carton to mouth* I know about table manners. Definitely.

Dan's looking especially pretty in his white shirt. I'm really not a visual person but that stage does look pretty cool.

I was watching a bunch of video compilations by oqua last night and I was wondering if anyone's ever made one of the times when Dan responds to a mistake by getting really quiet instead of really loud. Examples: he accidentally hit Phil in the face, didn't guess Buffy, didn't want to talk about the spa incident, made a wrong click in the first 2 seconds of the Impossible Quiz... can anyone think of others?

[rizzo]

Mother of pearl, Phil looks good. Dan too, I guess. But damn, Phil. The posture, the quiff, the confidence.

Excellent catch, Howell.

@topdanhowellmemes Oh... oh right. *returns to spooning ice cream from carton to mouth* I know about table manners. Definitely.

I’m confused, is ice cream meant to be eaten out of something other than the carton?

The set does look amazing! I can’t wait to see content filmed (in whatever format) on it.

[so_cheesy]

I don’t dig the white stripes on Phil’s shirt, they look like there’s an outline photoshopped around him, making his shoulders look funny. Or maybe it was intentional to enhance the contrast between him and the background?

[wiccamoody]

bless this close up picture, they look so good hot damn
