Hard Launch Podcast Ep #41 Did Dan's Grandma know we were dating (PLUS BONUS QUIZ WITH VERONICA)

it's gonna change everything when dan and phil learn how axolotl is actually pronounced

i got a baby doll as a child and named it "baby" it had a birth certificate and everything, my parents had to write baby on it lol

Veronica was absolutely delightful would love her back in the future!

We need more of Dan’s Nana on here, she’s a delightful woman

genuinely the best episode of all time what a queen and the lads are on their best behavior ha

Not the Ai speech bubble….

"They're alright" BAHAHAH

shes so sweet omg i love her

Loving the special laugh Dan has in front of his Nana, as if he’s trying to suppress his usual shriek

willem van oranjeeee ben ik van duitsen bloed phouse

Its an honest shame she can’t be on every single show

Is that an ai text speech bubble in the thumbnail 🤨

nice to see that ‘what can I say’ is genetic

god i love veronica so much

I am SO late but I’m absolutely obsessed with Nana! 🩷🩷 also calling your grandpa popsie is so fucking cute

"Oh you CAN"T get rid of the pig" Veronica loves that thing lmaooo

GRANDKID ROUND UP

PASSWORD:

I WANTED CAST FOR U NAT AND TRIN

YES GRAMMA

WY

MARI GRANDMA IS GRANDPA NOW, THANKS GRAMS 👀

MY CHRIS

I WANT YOURS, PHIL

CHECK INSTAGRAM DM FOR cHARMED: nEXT gENERATION rEBOOT PLEASE 🥰

I’ve never seen Veronica before. I love this woman so much

nana howell getting lit on that buzzball

Once I was stopped in airport security for a thing of lube, in the same ziplock bag as my vibrator. The TSA lady and I just starred at each other

LOL I have to be honest when I saw Dan and Phil labeled on the website as Darkly Funny and Adorably Eccentric it makes me think of the Game Oblivion and the two halves of the shivering Isles Mania and Demenia but in a good way. Veronica is awesome though and I am so glad she came on the podcast!!

I was talking to my former partner's mom about seeing Dan and Phil. She booted up this specific podcast and told me she liked their vibes. Have I converted her into a phanny?? 😭

Veronica has a friend who is literally Uncle Colm from Derry Girls 😂

We all love Phandma ❤️

makes me miss my grandmother. She passed when I was in highschool, I wish she could've lived long enough to have talks like this.

I'm gonna need queen Veronica back as often as possible she makes me so joyous

"If your life was a movie, what genre would it be?" "It would be a mix of drama and horror" I LOVE THIS DIVA

Veronica is iconic please have her Bach again

dans nana calling me dumb for buying the patreon humbled me in a way i can’t even begin to describe but i feel like was needed

This was so lovely and made me so happy but also a bit sad since I lost both my grandmas this year and miss them a lot! Veronica is a joy to watch and an Icon besides though and I had fun!!

veronica can u adopt me too i don't have a grandma

Dan is so lucky to still have a Nan at 35 years old and for her to be so loving and accepting. So happy for him. This must have been such a surreal experience

need her mental wellbeing

she's my number one gay icon

Nana Veronica is absolute peak grandmother vibes. Her cadence, delivery, and the way she sits remind me so much of my own late grandmother. Even the way she says "oh you were lovely" about child Dan is the same--just a different accent, as my granny was Irish. Hug your nans, everyone 😭

if a twink twerks in the woods and there's no one around to hear it, does it make a sound?

Dan please let Nan react to your fashion choices x

Every time I see Jacob Elordi's face it freaks me out, cuz I worked on a shitty short student film with him in my last year of uni, when he was just a cocky 17 year old lmao

"6 girls and 600 sailors.... it was absolutely fantastic" VERONICA 😂😭😅

Plz have Chani on 🙏

I LOVE YOU NANA

This is wonderful thank you guys

loved this thanks nana

pls react to the cheetah video essay https://youtu.be/ssMPpTjjU4Q?is=a114iVKIwjSOPr1d

SOUTH SHIELDS & NCL mention ♥️

the speech bubble scaring me with those AI looking lines near 'tell'

hi besties im selling 3 tickets to the Houston show if ur interested pls message @_marianareyes_ on twitter😁🫶

Best. Guest. Ever. 👏

Best episode thus far?

veronica saying her life would be part drama, part horror, then being very elusive as to why… and THEN revealing she had a puppy that got run over and she blames her dad for that… i'm starting to see why she said horror

41 episodes and our username still hasn't made an end screen🥀 been here since day 1, how many pham members are there?🫪 fr tho not actually upset, it's fun looking for our username at the end - they clearly have the best fanbase !!!

Best episode ever

fix the hard launch patreon playlist or i will make a g*n out of two pieces of paper and a pencil

Nana remembers golden pig but not Phil's emo hair

To see Dannys lovely grandma made my heart swell, I just lost my Abuela this month so this was so sweet to see 💖🤍

28:41 i had a friggin hernia as a child and i have a crazy deep navel now. I picked a bunch of dead skin out of it a while ago and it was disgusting and also exciting

VerICONICa

veronica is my new inspiration in life <3

absolutely obsessed with nana i need her back immediately

I love her so much omg, reminds me of my own grandma. My boyfriend gets to all her grandma as well ^^

i'm of course 100% here for Veronica and would defend her honour with my life but i will not take connor storrie slander. he is not a 6/10, thats just objectively not true.

She is so gorgeous!!!

6 girls and 600 sailors killed me😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

honestly I would watch a million episodes with veronica

I understand Phil with the unread notifications😭 I have 36 unopened messages and 77 missed calls…not to mention the notifications for social apps😭

Veronica is an f-ing icon 👑

if either of you get unexpectedly ill i do absolutely need veronica to come back to the phod <3

veronica was perfect podcast guest

the lava lamp looks like gore 😭

you guys either aren’t deranged or we both are because my childhood blanket and stuffed animal cat were named blankey and kitty lol

Shout out to grandmothers my nanny pays for my Patreon every month!

til that prawn cocktail is what folks from utah, usa, call “fry sauce”

Never getting over 6 girls and 600 sailors at a technical college.

fun fact : never heard "bouton" for nipple, usually it's a button

can i have the labubu if u dont want it #please #please

Love love love Veronica and other grandparents who were ahead of their times! 🙌🏻 I’m so glad Dan had Nana Veronica in his life growing up! Not sure how he would have coped without her influence otherwise 🥳💜

Hey idk where to put this but I still never got my membership card I wonder if they are still shipping out?

This was such a wholesome episode! 🥰💕

As soon as Nana brought up church I thought of Sister Daniel but I was kinda relieved that they didn’t bring her up, that’s not something you just spring on your grandma lmao

Nana is so chill 🫶🏼 Thanks for bringing her in!

How could there be at least four folks working in the studio that day and not a one could be bothered to sort Veronica’s lovely flouncy collar?! It’s all can see.

let phil wear shorts!!!

The fact that they didnt say keep it or yeek it is a crime

big fan of nana

bring veronica back quarterly or as often as she would like to. /demand

i’m so fucking scared of the lava lamp but I can’t stop looking at it??

Can she come every week

i adore this episode so much

Watching this instead of studying for the LNAT exam tomorrow morning, very Dan in a way.

I find the dynamic between Phil and Veronica absolutely adorable and worth protecting

i was lowkey not excited for the guest episode but nvm 😍😍😍

dan's mog just looks like he's in pain from a bad taco but it was a valiant effort nonetheless

i love you guys but Mrs. Veronica STOLE THE SHOW, I missssed her! what an icon

Their postures has never been better

Rip The Queen but Veronica is the only Queen of England we need

Anyone else take the quiz? It's quite adorable! I was godsmacked that I turned out to be more Dan than Phil. The descriptions is super cute. Highly recommend any phannie heading over to wikiHow for maybe the first time in a decade.

The way she just adopted Phil 🥹 I aspire to be everyone's nan some day

i see exactly where dan gets his entire personality from, what an icon

"the queen is dead" NOT MINE! Long live, Veronica

This made my day! Thank you for bringing Veronica and being you ❤️

Veronica is an icon, and she must be protected at all costs.

Listening to this podcast, it’s so cute hearing the subtle similarities in the way Dan and his Nana speak

Request to have Phil’s mum on the phodcast as well please :D

hearing your nana talk about you this way amidst coming out is making me tear up she sure does love you so much dan 😭 and i hope you love being adopted by nana phil that was so sweet 🥹❤️

Veronica is the realest

SHE SAID WHAT CAN I SAY

Do you think when Dan checked Phil’s unread texts he had to stop himself from saying “six seven”

WE LOVE YOU VERONICA

when my first boyfriend told me he loved me i said "i know" and then broke up with him a week later 😭 it was a summer camp relationship so we'd only been dating a month and i thought that was too soon anyway (and i wasn't in love with him)

I need Veronica to have her own podcast

can i have veronica in my pocket for just a bit. like can i take her to work for moral support 🙏🙏

My soon to be husband moved in together at 6 months! 💛 We'll be together 8 years Oct 7 :") also our wedding date!

Yayyy!! Nana’s here 🥰🥰🥰

Actually love Nana so much, what a classy broad <3

Forget a Rhett and Link collab with D&P. I need a Charles Neal and Veronica collab

I love Veronica! I hope we see her again.

that's it, we've won

Phil's mom as the next guest!

Five minutes in, I am OBSESSED with Veronica and I want to be her when I grow up (Also when I was about 5 I used to get my gran to play an Actimel CD-ROM game and I'd say "Clique mamie, clique!" (aka "click gran, click") because she didn't know what to do) (As a born-and-raised French person, I am sorry to report that Veronica's French class lied to her and "bouton" just means button, nipple is "téton")

Fav episode so far

No wonder Dan talks like that hahahahha

Queen Veronica needs to be a returning guest

I was not ready for "stay hard" from Nana.

Veronica is truly an icon ✨️✨️

We need more old people like Veronica in this world

CHAT I WENT TO THE SAME COLLEGE AS VERONICA?!

18:23 SOUTH SHIELDS MENTIONED RAAAAHHHHHHH

DAN HAS GEORDIE BLOOD CONFIRMED 🤍🖤

VERONICA BEST PHRANDMA

The pain i felt when she gave Connor a 6 😭😭😭

I ALSO still have a stuffed bear that my Nan gave me when i was born that I called Teddy and i also had a unicorn that i creatively named Unicorn (they got married)

Incredibly wholesome, I love it 💜

Veronica does give some Lady Bracknell energy, in the best way

That was the cosiest episode ever

Hi Dan and Phil. Dan, your mum is the same age as my mom. However, I am much younger. Just wanted to let you know.

Thank you for coming on the pod Nana Veronica!! 🥰🫰

Veronica is the phandom's grandma. A queen, an icon, a legend. Let's all collectively make sure she never has to buy herself a cup of tea ever again.

guys is this is the first time they passed the no piss challenge

I don’t think I can forgive her giving Connor Storrie a 6/10 😭

Honestly would love to see Dan and Phil learn to line dance from Nana Veronica

so funny how straight dan and phil are sitting particularly right at the start of the ep, so nervous looking. episode was great and veronica was a delight once more

The joy in Phil’s face and the annoyances in dans when Veronica says Jacob elordi would go for Phil is so fucking funny 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I loved this episode so much. Veronica is a gem and we love her. She's so funny - witty and sarcastic and sweet, I love her candor too. Just a delight. And it was so lovely hearing an outsider's perspective on your relationship - super parasocial. Also hilarious to see you both on your best behavior and explaining everything and including her in everything. I loved it. The lethal lore drops and things she said though. Devastating in the best way. Learning a bit about Veronica's life too though was lovely. Absolutely dying at the 600 sailors and 6 women situation where she met her husband for example. Little Dan is the cutest ever and I want to protect him at all costs, even if he cheats at cards (don't worry Dan, I did similar things and my grandma let me get away with whatever I wanted). Just an excellent episode and of course I'd love to see Veronica again sometime in the future.

Veronica has now officially become everyone’s adoptive grandma. Sorry guys, I don’t make the rules.

Veronica is truly such a legend

Not the lava lap violently shitting while Veronica is telling her French story

veronica might have phil beat for funniest person in the world

FUCKING PRAWN COCKTAIL CHIPS HOLY SHIIIIIT!!! i LOVE THOSE SO MUCH!!!

Obviously we were going to be excited about Dan’s Nana… but separate and aside from Dan, she was just incredible. It all felt so effortless and relaxed. It was such a beautiful thing to share with Phans

omg 5:07 that’s my name

this lady has incredible comic timing lmao

DAM still no mention in the random followers 🤔

I love Veronica!! Best first guest for sure! And you heard her Dan, you've GOT TO keep the pig 😂 Hope to see her back on the podcast again. Sincerely, a daft patreon supporter 😂🫶

i love her so much i need her back after tour 💗💗

oh veronica the woman that you are. i hope she knows she is so loved

We love you nana!!

I just know Nana got lit on that buzz ball later XD

Looking like the Try Guys with a serious conversation on that couch

Veronica is media trained

loving the first guest ever, already want her back

I love how she has genuinely the most satisfying voice + accent of anyone ever. No matter what she says she sounds proper and she makes me feel fancy just listening.

She's so lovely!

I used to watch the VHS "cleaning" tape.

veronica i love you queen 🫶

The way Nana gasped when Phil asked for dirt about Dan 👀

I can't express how much Veronica is just a beautiful angel 🥹❤️

In all honesty, no silly Billy, it is so nice that your grandma is so supportive of not only you, Dan, but Phil as well. She truly seems like a genuine soul who just loves her grandkids so much. It makes me miss my grandma because she was cool af too. I’m sorry you guys felt you had to hide for so long but I sincerely hope you both have now realized just how loved you are by your families and your phannies :)

I bet young Dan never thought he'd be sat with his boyfriend and his grandma on a podcast making gay jokes and laughing together <3 We love to see it

I would love to see Veronica on the pod again!! She's amazing

This episode made me so happy. The boys on their "best" behavior for Nana, but you could genuinely feel the love. 🥰 Please have her back very soon!!

Tell Veronica that she has friends in Canada. I think she'd enjoy hearing that.

what did ben spiller want with dan at the house of commons 😭 why’d we just glaze past that 😭

Trying to work out if they haven't got to my hard launch yet or they just hated it 🤣

Shrimp cocktails are still big in America weirdly around Christmas a lot

Veronica. Legend and Icon.

the icon herself is baaack ❤ always really enjoy hearing her take on things. in a world so negative, she radiates positivity and acceptance.

She’s so sweet, she makes me miss my grandma 💕 she had a similar vibe

i adore this woman

Veronica on Hard Launch healed something in me that I can't explain, this was such a good episode 😭❤️

They sit further apart on the inflatable couch than they do when gaming 💀😂

Dan just reaching over and pulling Phil's phone out of his pocket is the most domestic thing they've done on camera lol

She’s so chill I love her

get veronica an emo axolotl challenge

next time Dan is out of town, bring back Mrs. Nana for a Special Nana and Phil episode! I adore this woman

She has as much aura as Ian Hecox’s mom

Veronica is so iconic, what a lovely woman ❤️ please bring her back sometime!

they’re displaying incredible posture with nice shirts on and no mention of piss whatsoever. bring veronica back for more, she’s like our own personal Richard

the Queen is not dead

I want to be Veronica when I grow up 🫶 absolute icon

from the genuine bottom of my heart best possible guest outcome

That was beautiful and not a single mention of piss

pro-gay, line dancer, clocked Dan and phil from the beginning, anti-AI- I've genuinely never fucked with an old person so hard before

veronica permanent third host when? i want her here all the time. dan and phil and veronica

Veronica is so cool

nana keeping the pig!!!!

When Dan grabbed Phil’s phone out of his pocket 💀

Very funny to see Dan crashing out over the sun/moon trope. It must actually be so bizarre to have thousands of strangers insist with absolute certainty that they can define your personalities, and then use such infantilising language as well.

I love her

Thank god Veronica is here, there’s been too many males in my male podcast

Veronica is an icon! Love her!!

Veronica 😍

We love Veronica

I love Veronica's way of speaking, she sounds so proper and calm and makes it even funnier hen she says something so deadpan

me and my boyfriend we together for like not even four months and i had him in my house multiple night a week just there while i was working lmao. his family got covid while he was over so he just stayed for a week yahooo. i love hard and fast

Emotional!!!!!!!!

this is officially the cleanest episode of this podcast shoutout veronica

Como van a Mexico (escribiendo en español para que se acostumbren): ame el episodio principes, no se como haran para mantener los hard mondays durante el tour, pero estare esperandolos xoxo

Veronica and Phil go line dancing video when??

Tell Veronica we love herrrrrrr

veronica needs her own podcast

Why is Dan always trying to gatekeep Phil wearing shorts 😭 Let him show off his legs! Dan gets to do it why not Phil too

I also have no grandparents so can Veronica also adopt me🥹 I would listen to her talk forever, she's so lovely!

I was actually so hyped to see her on the pod, LOL. Her love for Dan is sooo adorable and I love her support for Phan. That's Dan's bestie!!! <3 🥺🥺

Bless Veronica. This woman is so funny

so happy to be here

she's the queen of the united kingdom

Amazing! Lovely! 10/10!!! 😊❤️

You know what we need? You know how in England the queen did a speech on Christmas? I feel like we need a Christmastime nana episode each year 😂

Make sure she knows we love her this was so sweet😭 My grandma's crazy religious, homophobic and transphobic wish we all had a Veronica in our lives 🖤🖤🖤

iconic

i liked this episode because i didn't have to hear dan moan

Please make sure Veronica knows just how much she is loved by the Phandom. 🩷

dropped to my knees at walmart thank you queen veronica for grazing us with your presence!! 😭😭🤍

This was lovely, I hope she comes back soon!!! ☺️💖

Literally why is she so iconic

I love Dan's grandma she's hilarious 🤣❤️

Veronica is LOVELY and this was an absolute treat

veronica liking the golden pig and dan being upset about it is so funny

Veronica is such a calming presence on the phod, i love dan's nana

i'm jealous of people who still have their grandparents :C my gran died almost 12 years ago. y'all with living grandparents better appreciate them

NANA VERONICA WAS THE ONLY RIGHT ANSWER FOR FIRST PODCAST GUEST THANK YOU

"It was 6 girls and 600 sailors. It was absolutely fantastic." Nana Veronica, I love you so much

Veronica is such a cool and awesome person! 🥹✨

this is her show now

Veronica is so fun and kind. I love seeing her interact with Phil. I hope she’s in more videos 😊

Veronica really said the phloset was glass

Veronica!!! 💓

plz hsvr hrt on more

Return of the Queen, happy Hard Monday

new fav podcast episode we love you nana howell

Is it me of does Dan sound more ‘proper’ around Veronica

I've never seen either of them on better behaviour 🤣🤣

Nana deserves a quarterly feature on the pod!

Insane how noticeable the difference in Dip's and Pip's skin color is when their arms are next to each other lmao

What a legend

this lady is such a matriarchal diva. i love to see it. she is so effortlessly cool and clearly knows her mind, it always makes me smile to see people with their families

‘U out mog me in every photo’ *cue proud smile to camera* Phil’s so performative and I’m living for it

The most iconic to ever do it

Nana had Dan spitting all over the microphone. 😹

Watched this at work😝

first time im busy during a hard launch and its the most important episode yet 😭

Don’t feel too bad about moving in at 6mo I moved in at the 3week mark 💀💀💀

I need a Popsie reveal - who landed this QUEEN 😫❤️

Veronica being from South Shields is so cool, yes girl represent north east ✨

an icon

the crossover between me being in veterinary school and this podcast episodes means I know exactly what should be in a horse semen analysis center 😭

Hate to say this but "bouton" means "button" but it also means clitoris not nipple. It's even funnier! (Loved the episode, love Veronica, she can come back anytime)

Veronica is a queen. And the dynamic between the 3 of them is golden 🙌🏻

MVP

best episode yet!!

We love an unproblematic queen 🙌🏼

DREAM GUEST ON DA PODCAST?! 👹 probably Veronica.

‘Can I call u nana’ fucking kill me

I love Dan studying Phil’s waist some people probably thinking 😉 and Dan being like “this fucker took my belt”

oh veronica is such a delight! I wish she was my nana too <3

Phil wearing a belt because Veronica was coming in 😭🥰

I love her.

Omg they are on their best behavior (especially Phil, my heart)

this is The phodcast episode of all time

I too hope that it will be sometime soon, not a long time, that Veronica will speak to us again!!🙂‍↕️🗣️

I audibly gasped when Veronica gave Connor Storrie a 6.

literally can’t focus on the phodcast bc the gender fluid is freaking me tf out

love of lots to Nana! Thanks for being on the pod!!

someone clip veronica saying "what can I say" it runs in the family

Dans grandma and his grandfather meeting each other sounds like my grandma studying to be a teacher and meeting my grandfather while he was studying in the military university( this was in the ussr)

ik obviously dnp are well acquainted with veronica but its so assuring to see them in a video with someone else (aside from say, louise or pj) where they dont feel pressured or nervous about what the guest is going to say, dnp just seem so calm and chill and relaxed here and i really love that for them, having this space to call their own that THEY get to control first and foremost <3

I am completely charmed. Your Nana Veronica is a fantastic guest, quite charismatic. She has passed on her comic timing to Dan.

I love how Veronica just is all in on what dan does

Veronica 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

6️⃣7️⃣ unread texts, you say?

Veronica is so based

I never thought I'd see them behave themselves. so proud of yall.

Queen Veronica!!

the most VIP of all VIP’s to ever VIP ✨👑

You know what though now that it’s been said I can actually hear a little bit of the northern accent in Veronica’s voice! We love you from the North Veronica 💖

Veronica is such an icon and i love her.

Veronica may be one of the most effortlessly charming, witty and sassy people I’ve ever encountered! Love when she visits 😊

me, crying because poor dan was worried about spoiling christmas and easter by telling everyone he’s gay :((((

bonjour veronica, tu slay totalement, tous mes compliments depuis paris ❤️‍🩹

Phil on his best behaviour is quite adorable

the most wholesome and funny episode, so iconic

I feel so seen i currently have 1,850 unread texts 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

as someone from dc that being the 🐷’s response to the ~pump device~ is so fucking accurate lmao they really have nothing better to do

lovely we need to speak with Veronica again soon

she’s such an icon

This episode was absolutely *LIT*

this was such a wonderful experience for a listener who (like phil) has lost all their grandparents; especially being trans and wondering how someone of veronica’s generation would be with my existence. anyway big love <3

I need Veronica to have her own segment. What an absolute diva.

best episode ever

Dan looking in the camera like he’s in the office when he wants to read himself is frying me

best day of my life

this episode was honestly PEAK 🙂‍↕️

sending this to my mom for an example of what unconditional love can look like (this is a joke I cannot)

“straight away” 😭

The Labubu D:

my husband and I were long distance (for a max of 7 hours time difference) for 5 years!!! it absolutely can work 🙂‍↕️

I had 3 main guesses for the first Hard Launch guest: Dan’s grandma, Phil’s mum or Louise.

I'm dead "there were 6 girls and about 600 sailors. It was absolutely fantastic" I love her 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nanna stanna, bring Veronica back as a regular plz

“Well you don’t get it from your grandfather.” Veronica is a goddess and I love her 😂

Love your nana :) Great episode

This was beautiful to see. Thank you! ❤️

😭😭❤️❤️

she has theee most british humor ever i love her

Early ep?? In for a TREAT

I WAS FUCKING RIGHT IT IS DANS GRANDMA

She’s just such a delight

When I see Veronica, I see my future and it's bright!

Veronica reminds me of my Mam in all the best ways 🩷

Week 41 of waiting for my name in the patreon credits :/

shoutout dan interrupting church with such insightful commentary that the patrons yearn to bring him in front of parliament

Yes please let us talk to Veronica again soon, Dan!

Amazing no notes

That’ll be LIT Phil 🤙🏻

What a brilliant lady!!

Veronica we love you 🩷

We love you Veronica!!!! You are the moment and thank you Dan for introducing us to this absolute icon she makes me miss my grandmas!!!!

ngl I'd watch the dan-and-phil-less veronica pod 🙇🏻‍♀️

Veronica looks so nice in her pink dress, and what a lovely necklace! Great ep

I hope I give just a fraction of what Veronica gives, shes so iconic

veronica is so sweet 🥺 thank you dan for sharing your nana with us all 💖

Veronica is an ICON. You guys have to screen shot the comments and send them to her so she knows we love her.

I feel like Dan has the 2 funniest people in his life in the same room with him and he can't stop smiling and snort laughing and I love that for him. 🥹

this was so enjoyable! thank you for sharing nana 💜

This episode was so lovely, I lost my granny a few years ago and Veronica reminds me so much of her - what a brilliant first guest! ❤

the phabubu 😔

This is the most excited I’ve been for a hard launch episode since they came out.

Just want to say how horrifying and coagulated the lava lamp is thanks guys

well this was lovely

oh she is absolutely darling

Veronica is an absolute icon, thank you for this treat!

I want Nana to know she's the reason I re-subbed to Patreon (and remembered to get out of the Free tier lol)

Lovely chat with your nana Dan, brilliant episode ❤️

let veronica run the phodcast during the tour, she is an icon

H-how many unread texts? 😏

I AM FINALLY ON THE PATREON SHOUTOUT!!

we need veronica on the phod at least annually, this was so nice i love her <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

God, I love her.

thank you veronica for making my day (also to those two other guys i guess)

Is she willing to adopt me…. Her energy is so warm I think it would change me and make me a better person to spend time with her

The boys in their nicest button up shirts because nana is visiting 🙂‍↕️

Aaaah I loved this

This is the best guest podcast episode ive ever seen, Veronica is an absolute queen, so iconic and funny ✊️❤️

Miss Veronica's voice is how i would imagine the queen sounded

So if Dan ever speaks in Parliament or House of Commons, he takes three guests: Phil, Nana, and that guy from church with a red beard. And I could easily see Dan giving a speech about mental health funding or inclusive community building or music education, and so on - so this does not seem even remotely impossible.

paid patreon membership for the dan and phil pod, call that dapht

Can't believe we got Veronica!!! We're so up!!!

The Woman, The myth, The icon: VERONICA

happy families unlocked a deep deep memory holy crap

Veronica is a natural at the podcast, this was so wholesome

Dare I say best podcast ep?

nanna could definitely hold down the episode for a week if you needed a break on tour xox

truly a woman of integrity, intelligence, and energy

veronica is the best

That was so nice episode, loved it!

Im glad that Veronica is also a golden pig defender, as we all should 💛💛

BEST EPISODE. Invite Nana back ASAP!

Veronica my queen!! We are not worthy

Nana did her own version of “what can I say” they must be related

Only seconds into the Patreon bit and DRAGGED by Veronica

BUZZBALL BUZZBALL CANON EVENT me and my friend bought a massive one on thursday, like the size of my head, and spent a lovely evening Pondering the Orb. it tastes like absolute trash but it's an orb. it's bright blue. you just. you have to

QUEEN 👸🏻 👑

The phlava phlamp went from looking phallic to looking like evisceration after a traumatic car accident

This was, in fact, the greatest episode to date.

Oh Veronica how we love you

Loved Dan looking directly into the camera. Yeah you shouldn’t settle for the first guy you meet. Yeahhhh (PS: I did the exact same thing)

I love Veronica baddddly

that's not just mother, that's GRAND MOTHER! 🙌

veronica is such a gem please bring her back soon

Veronica is so based omg

This was the best! Veronica is so funny, excellent choice for a special guest!

thank you dan's nana, you've brought joy to my day!!!!

When I was a child I had a multicoloured teddy bear and I shit you not, I called him “Different Coloured Teddy” so, I see you Dan

Love how they don’t argue about who’s turn it is for Richard in front of Veronica

obsessed

So prawn cocktail sauce was just mayoketchup this whole time?

She's actually the best woman ever omg

I honestly would not be opposed to Nana becoming a stable part of Hard Launch quite frankly

Mrs. Veronica is amazing and I love her and she is an ICON.

Kathryn and Phil roasted by Veronica over their belly buttons lol I hope you feel iconic!!

Thanks Nana Veronica

Veronica is Dan in like 60 years

She’s such a gem

Unbelievably jealous that the phroducers got to meet the legend that is Veronica

I imagine dan was just taking a cheeky look and realized "this mf has my belt"

i'm obsessed with Veronica

Nana and her harem of sailor men, a love story

Things I've been pulled aside for by airport security that wasn't a bomb: 1. A sealed case of beads (for making bracelets for the TO show!) 2. My vibrator (which I had to explain to the security man at 5am while insanely hungover)

my childhood plushie was a horse named “moo” because i forgot the sound a horse made 😭😭

We must protect Nana at all costs she’s so adorable

she’s so chill how does she do it

F

What an absolute icon of a woman

I love Veronica's voice she sounds like a female Sir David Attenborough

Veronica is the best. Loved the episode

Also, to each their own ... my parents got married after 6 months. They just had their 25th wedding anniversary. I came along not long after their wedding, while they were both still in college. They have 8 kids together. When it happens, it happens. They are both Gen x/Milennial cuspers and very close to Millennials.

I need you to know I did an honest to god spittake when the words "south shields technical college" came out of veronica's mouth

So we all collectively agree this was the best Hard Launch so far, right?! 😊

Veronica the goat 🤟🏻

I love Veronica so much

DAN HOWELL NORTH EAST BLOOD HELLO? wow knew u were one of us diva...

i saw this upload while at work LET MEEEE OUTTT

As Veronica said, this is indeed lit 🔥💪🏾

Veronica, Queen, the patreon is the best investment I've ever made

VERONICA IS LEGITIMATELY BETTER THAN ALL OF THEM COMBINED

veronica has a really nice voice for podcasts!

get Veronica her own podcast neowww

Truly an honor to be called daft by Nana. 💜

Nan keeping the buzzball... same Nan, same

Dans grandma yay

After hearing Veronica’s voice I am shocked and slightly appalled that Dan was the one with a bbc radio job. I feel like she should be introducing smooth jazz.

there is liTchrally no one else i would have preferred to be the guest

Veronica's shade is unparalleled in quantity and quality 🩷

THE BEST EPISODE EVERRRRR

Veronica tell Daniel he has to let you on the podcast whenever you like

67 unread texts? Phil *disappointed tone*

AMAZING AMAZING WOMEN

I love seeing Dan’s Nana. I would love to have Kath, Phil’s mom, brought on sometime for the podcast!

I found Ribena in the World/Ethnic Food section of my grocery store and I've been obsessed ever since. I think I am the only person that buys it but I don't care.

Pousser my bout de sein up the wall

so sweet that she loves the golden pig🐖

Veronica is a vibe

VERONICAAAAAA!!!!! i hope she comes back

sometimes i wonder if it’s possible to aura farm completely nonchalantly. and then veronica,,

I just need an hour of Veronica stories 🫶🏻

yeeted the labubu… does she know that she just yeeted the queen

Completely bonkers!!!

Incredible episode

The most special guest of all time😊 Hail Queen Veronica ❤️

Congrats on a successful #nopisschallenge thank you Mrs. Veronica 💗

RIP the people chosen to hard launch in front of Dan’s grandma

She’s such ab icon<3

im so obsessed with her

I love Veronica, tell her she can come back as often as she likes!

VERONICA!!!! 🥹♥️

Dan still in Phil’s phone case…. 👀🥹

QUEEN VERONICA

Absolute diva that is Veronica 👏

Thats made me feel very old knowing Im the same age as Dans mother lol

Great episode — looking forward to the first Lester guest now.

my favourite episode so far thank you icons (veronica, mainly)

we love veronica

While we can see where Dan inherited his wit and humor, he clearly only inherited a fraction of it based on this episode with Veronica.

I think this is Veronica's podcast now and Dan and Phil are the guests

“I knew straight away” 😭😭😭

she's so effortlessly funny

But we neeed the mannequin butt

VERONICA!!! 🫶🏻🌟 I adore this woman in how unapologetically she speaks and her dress is lovely. 💗

why are we trying to yeet the emo axolotl, the phild has done nothing wrong

it's so sweet how veronica adopted phil as her grandson

She’s make me miss my Nana, but in the best way. Keep bringing Veronica back🫶🏼

I see where Dan gets all of his personality from

BRING 🗣️VERONICA 🗣️ON 🗣️TOUR 🗣️!!!!

This is making me wish that the regular podcast eps would use the main camera more often instead of cutting to Dan or Phil individually, I feel like seeing them both in frame reacting to what the other one is saying is what makes their videos so fun

i think this is my fav Podcast Episode ever

This is your reminder that if you have a nan, hug her and give her a call/text what have you =)

PEAK Hard Launch guest, no need for any other one!

The best guest

Also hoping to see Phil's bro next!

Nana’s are just the best! 💕 Veronica for PM!

Nana is single handily making me believe that the boomers didn’t ruin everything

Boys please tell Veronica I love her so much

We love Veronica!

Every word out of her mouth shows us more and more how iconic she is

Veronica, what a queen! When I'm old, I hope I'll be as iconic as she is!

As an animal person i must mention that an axolotl is a type of salamander

I named every single one of my baby dolls after myself so I cant judge on uncreative names

she can just take over while you're on tour

where can i get a woke nana in my life?

I have never seen them on such good behaviour and sitting so straight yet acting so gay, it’s freaking me out

Yeet the mannequin 😲

Small✅ Petite✅ Looks alright in a cowboy hat✅

Im daft enought to be here 💸/pos

Veronica with the "what more can I say?" The origin revealed!

I agree, axolotl is absolutely lovely

She's so endeared by the emo axolotl 😭😭 like grandmother, like grandson, huh?
