Phil reminisces on his single emo-boy era and Dan gets into ear-play. Plus BONUS yap where Dan roasts Phil's school report
Comments (523)
such a man centric view. girls who attend single gender schools and historically women's colleges thrive in classroom environments because they are not competing with or being compared to men. there is one billion pages of research on this.
the ball death w richard at the end sounds more like y'all's danganronpa execution more than a saw trap + i'd know, i'm a massive fan of both, bhahaha
I’m crying!! That’s my favorite cereal omgggggg!!!
They are both so incredibly wrong about the jacket situation. I vibe with Dan's more but I know that when I actually do someplace I am Phil😅
Got fuckin profiled at the MRI-ist's😭😂
They are both green!!
dan and phil Skins philm club when...
Dan with the dying music thing is so me (I’m diagnosed with ocd)
this was a great episode
Idk how true it is, but I heard that that's the reason Andrew Garfield didn't get the third movie, was because he was pushing for a bisexual Spiderman. Idk if that's a PHACT or a fact
I said 3 jackets 😂
26:40 Phil come on we used to have staples in the uk until they became ryman (also dan pls if u haven't get onto casiopea they are an amazing jazz fusion band)
W Dan's love of rollercoasters: i watched a youtube video of a news segment where they were talking about the x2 rollercoaster at 6 flags and apparently it's given multiple people like adult shaken baby syndrome. This is my anxious brain making sure u guys never get on that one
1:53 phil: "should we do an erotic one?" Begins
Have dan and phil ever done the is my blue your blue test? Bc I think that would help them a lot...
Okay now we need a “can we name 100 Pokemon” video
when dan said "phil is quite a horny person" i never thought id get flashbacks to growing up in a house of 5 as the only person who doesnt find austin powers remotely funny
42:56 POKEMON VGC MENTION i also watched worlds the finals were insane (and the one battle where two protects won the match)
The mugs are green and light green
i’m sorry Dan but those are both green - that’s a greener turquoise don’t come at me for it i refuse to say it’s blue
it's teal pleazeeeeeee i am on dans side for colors here in no world is that green
Phil....I hate to tell you this... but you CANNOT tie up shoelaces. I don't even know what that attempt was xD

As someone who went to a religious all girls high school - can confirm, just intense psychological warfare. Also didn't realise/come out as gay until after my first year of uni, probs cuz of *the fear*
Absolutely love beat of the week. I love love love when people rec new music. Thank you ♥️
Im actually really excited for when you guys are old and bald. I’m hoping one of you will do a comb over with hair still on the sides but bald right on top of ya noggin. Dan could get the golden pig tatted on top of his head and Phil could get sister Daniel
For Me I have these pool shoes that have a rubber bottom on them that I use around the house that way I don't step on anything but I'm pretty much barefoot except for that. So, Yeah, definitely bedroom shoe guy here.
With the cereal and water, I only use a TOUCH of water to lubricate the cereal and bring out the taste. It's not swimming in it lmao that's nastyyyyy
I stg your intrusive thoughts sound like my OCD thoughts
dan making me feel seen with the university hoodie, as a fellow try and failer who still has uni merch😔 £50k of student debt and all i have to show for it is some university of kent merch💁🏼♂️💅🏻
(no hate to kent uni, they were incredibly supportive and accommodating, i just have a toxic combo of mental illnesses, autism, & adhd💅🏻🤪🧝🏻✨)
Can you guys please post an update somewhere about the San Francisco tour dates? All of the others have been rescheduled but the SF dates just say “venue moved” with refund options and nothing else.
Everyone who had tickets to SF should have already received an email about the new show in SJ
The mug is teal.
Has anyone listened to Coffee Break Spanish? Is that Caragh this Caragh??? They sound identical!
I went to an all girls school & now work in an all boys school. Can confirm everything Dan said is bang on 😭
Phil, I love you but only about 6 unis in the uk use a collegiate system… so it probably wouldn’t work for most people to ask what college you’re in
Also, hard agree Pokémon is for adults. We had a Pokémon sponsored event at work and it was aimed at children (they got to collect stickers of five different Pokémon) but children young enough to like stickers didn’t know about Pokémon, and kids that were old enough to like Pokémon didn’t care about stickers. We mostly had adults coming in and collecting the stickers or encouraging their kids to collect the stickers.
If there is any way for them to see this, I never got my membership card 😭 I was forced to move right around when they were shipped out and I never realized they were shipped and I didn’t get one!! Please help them see that so maybe I can get mine. I’m so devistated
I’m sorry what school does ARCHAEOLOGY at year 10??? Wish I’d gone there.
I think they meant that looking into the past and digging up the report from Phil’s childhood was archeology, not that he studied it in school
If anyone is missing the Beat of the Week from last week's episode, I highly recommend Neve Cariad (on YouTube and Spotify). Their song 'Jigsaw' was particularly good live but unfortunately hasn't been released yet :(
At Portland hard launch!
I got laser eye surgery last fall! Eye stuff can be scary, but it was the best decision I've made lol
Ayo has anyone else’s membership card not arrived yet?? I’m in Australia so like I get it but I wanna flex it
I just said thank you when Phil said have a good sleep, cause I am in fact, going to bed 🛌
the cup is not turquoise, blue, or green. it's teal 😪
it's mint, teal is much darker and bluer
Moomins mentioned, meet you at the market square!
Is it necessary to do the erotic Jesus bit 😔 not all Christian’s are like the awful judgmental ones , you either respect ppls individual beliefs and faith or you don’t
When I’m driving I frequently think about “what if I get in a car accident while this is playing” I think it’s totally normal
I think I am all three genders… bald, weird ANDDDDD definitely gay
I work for the company that makes the Sniff moomin mug and the official colour is turquoise.
That saw theme song melody by phil was exquisite
I felt weird I felt bald I felt gay.
this episode was extra good idk how to explain it
Hey! Anyone going to the Denver show? 🥰
Watching this while waiting in line for hard launch is truly a whole new experience
the Macklemore reference was so on the pulse , lads
Omg, for once Dan actually called a color more accurately than Phil
i think the mug is blue but i always think things are blue and other people think they are green so
I have shoes that I wear outside, crocs I wear for when I'm cleaning/after working out and I have slippers that are strictly my inside shoes
That’s like sea foam green or mint green. Sorry Dan, but I’m with Phil on that one
Just being able to go get an MRI… the American mind cannot comprehend… $2000 after insurance. I’m glad that he was able to get one, of course.
POKESPE MENTIONED (AGAIN) HOORAY
My mom has a brand new pair of sneakers for only inside the house. I just think that’s weird
Every episode I'm yelling at my phone like, "Dan! Let Phil talk!" 🤣
hard mondays: the only time in the week my adhd and autism lets me just sit and watch something with my full undivided attention🫡 -🧝🏻
Well I’m going to look and see who didn’t listen to Dan about not drawing fan art 🤣
the mug is not blue, it's DEFINITELY green, it's not even got a SHADE of blue. the only reason i would accept it being called blue is because of the guy wearing blue
Where's my chronically ill gang that was nodding along to everything Daniel was saying ✨️
dan and pill pls grade my a levels
Someone’s absolutely making fan art of one hand Dan
Watching this from my Labor & Delivery room.
as a mexican, i AM hard for september
The next time I see you guys it will be TOMORROW IN PERSON. 😭🩵💜
i always agree with Dan on the blue/green and yellow/green arguments but then I see the comments being like he must be colorblind. justice for the color gradient inclined
FMK: Gay Phil, Weird Phil, and Bald Phil.
In Dan’s defense, I also regularly think “damn, what if this is the last song I hear before I die or wreck my car?” Typical Tuesday drive to work 🤷🏼♀️ Question: if one song got stuck on repeat while you wait for the ambulance, does that ruin the song forever?
I need a spiderman that swings both ways
as someone with epilepsy i've had a few MRIs in my time and they never get any less scary. last time i went (for a scan unrelated to my brain) they didn't let me listen to music though and it was so dang torturous 😭
in high school i told my english teacher i was applying to columbia university and he said “have you considered state school”…
my beloveds 🫂
Loving the energy this week! And 'dry your eyes mate' haha
kinda a long shot but is anyone going to the seattle show 👁️👁️ im going alone and would love to hang out w peeps in line and make new phriends :3
As someone who went to an all girls school, "intense phychological warfare" is an understatement. Trauma was had. -100/10 do not reccommend. Idk what school is like now, thankfully its almost a decade behind me, and it can stayyyy there in hell where it belongs.
Dan i'm so sorry this is in fact another case of your lowkey colorblindness I fear it's getting higher key
Every day I am more and more convinced that Phil is colorblind
Dan,,, You HAVE TO try and name all Pokemon, there is a website for it where you can do and time it
My autistic ass eats cereal by only putting a small amount of cereal in the bowl, then a small amount of milk, eat, then add more cereal and some more milk, eat. Repeat until satisfied
Welcome back phroducers your laughs have been missed 🫰🏼
name 100 women except this time it’s name the first 151 pokemon
i was offered music for an MRI once and she asked what genre I wanted to listen to. I said kpop and after the longest pause she said "...we don't have that."
2:30 confused by Phil’s jumper …. Phil went to the University of York, which is in northern England, NOT York University, which is near Toronto, right?
1:36 it is the new year. If this is posted the day after recording, it was recorded on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. L’shanah tova.
If you want to know how your blue/green limit compares to the average, check out https://ismy.blue/
Bald, gay, and weird, did you mean trixie and katya?
In middle school they brought two of the dance dance revolution machines to my gym class for two weeks and we all took turns
being intelligent, gay, and neurodivergent is the surefire method to getting emotionally abused by your teachers growing up istg
y'all need to do the turquoise quiz to settle what yall perceive as green/blue!! https://ismy.blue/
kids wouldn't survive playing the older pokemon games where you had to grind so much for levels and there was NO EXP SHARING
Phil, I support you packing coat options and Daniel YES HE DOES NEED COLOR OPTIONS
never wrote real-people fics before but kinda considering writing a Positive High School Experience au now that this has been officially discussed
As someone about Dan’s age, the fact that he still rides rollercoasters makes my back hurt
As someone who went to an all girls school it was a 5 year psychological torture session. I also came out as a lesbian in 2011 when I was 14....that was a mistake
They’re so boyish and chic in those hoodies
them always standing on business about taking shoes off is giving me both asian and ocd representation I feel seen 🙂↕️❤️ (I do actually have ocd lmao)
As someone working in a school now, we take the queer kids very seriously! We allow social transition, there are mechanisms to have names informally changed, and the queer kids talking about their same sex partners are treated the same as the straight ones. Assemblies directly mention and address homophobia and transphobia alike, and our PSHE lessons cover what to do if you're questioning your identity. It heartens me to be part of the staff body making school that much more tolerable for queer children, not least because it is so different to my own experience in even just the 2010s.
I’m gen z and in a very liberal area which I think has something to do with it but thankfully at both my school and college you didn’t get bullied for being gay or trans (that was very uncool to do and literally no one cared) but you *could* get bullied for your theatre performance being bad and I find that beautiful (not rly, but I’ll take it)
diversity equity and inclusion ❤️
Dan and Phil forgetting that they've talked about this specific report card before and talking about it again is like Trixie and Katya in the last season of Unhhhh XD Such full circle magic <3
My wife and I are so Dan and Phil coded it actually weirds me out sometimes. We literally just had the same disagreement about that exact same blue/green colour the other day. I feel like every week I see you having the exact same situations as us. For example I'm the one who wakes up yelling scary shit in the middle of the night, waking her up and then going back to sleep :-)
sorry Dan that mug is indeed seafoam green
They're both green Dan #teamphil #PDAengage 😆
The more I listen to hard launch the more I am begging Phil to see an ocd specialist lmao
Gay Phil, Weird Phil and Bald Phil. Teenagers are fucking great 😆
sorry dan but 5 coats for an international trip over several months is low-key SO valid 🏃🏾♀️
"Mum can we go to Butlins, yeah fuck it, you got Diarrhoea" my stomach actually hurts wtf 😆
We have one bisexual and that’s Loki which lowkey did autocorrect to. It was meant to be
Can’t believe I’ve been called this as a woman from Virginia
Unsubscribing if there is even one criticism of High school Musical ❤️
We had a tuberculosis outbreak at my high school. In the United States. In 2011. We made the national news.
during my first ever mri for cancer treatment the music cut out after barely a minute so i just had to lay there listening to the giant pringles tube go CLANG CLANG CLANG for the duration.... not the most comforting of experiences when you have only ever seen this thing used on tv prior 🥲
another day another slay
Extra advice: great convo starter when i was at uni was having a name sign on my door, if ur in halls u can get some cheap poundland craft supplies n a magazine and make a name sign w ur flatmates
im afraid im with dan on the mug debate. it may not be *blue*, but it's the bluer one, therefore "blue" :/
As you age your perception of colors changes!! Shades in between green and blue look greener to older people, aswell as bright pink and orange looking more similar to one another. So no need to fight, Dan just has to age into it ig
tiffany blue
I mean this with love, PLEASE stop being sponsored by Whatnot. It's a terrible place for fraud, gambling and AI slop. You have enough power and money to get to decide who does and doesn't sponsor your content, you don't need whatnot to sponsor you.
I think all the time about if I got into a car accident, what would be playing obnoxiously loud on my car speakers, and there’s a 98% chance it’s Dan and Phil talking about piss
I can see how it could be called blue in a Miku blue sort of way, otherwise it’s definitely a seafood green.
Hate having a thought and I come here and Daniel Howell says it out loud
We NEED more lore on the phil trio (gay, weird and bald)
As someone who went to an all-girls school I can confirm this is eeirly accurate 🤣
Wait Phil did ARCHAEOLOGY?!! What kind of badass cool high school did he go to??? (Also yes I studied archaeology in university and postgrad but have never heard of it as a regular school subject, that's awesome.
I had an MRI the other day and got to listen to Seventeen, I was so happy when the tech said they could play kpop lol~ The last time I had one they only had basic options, the downside of listening to your favourite music though is you have to stay still and can't sing 😅
I think based on the description of music they said they like they’d love the persona games’ sound tracks 🤓
Can't wait to see Beat of The Week filled with either BABY BABY BABY BABY (P3) or YOU'LL NEVER SEE IT COMING (P5)
I once had an argument with my best friend in WH Smith’s because he said “I’ll get a yellow one” and picked up the bright green and he is colour blind so I said that’s green and he wasn’t having it. He didn’t believe the label on it, which said green, was right even.
lesbian who went to an all girls school here! i got bullied out of going into the changing rooms because the straight girls were scared i was staring at their tits (i was 14)
I got outed to my entire school at 16... it was 2014 and people acted like they didn't know lesbians exist... we broke up after two weeks and I might be a little traumatised still :D
I definitely think about regretting my music choice if I were to die in that moment, not sure if it makes it normal though soz
Dan I respect what you're saying about us in our 30s enjoying Pokémon however my 7 year old nephew can name them all, their types, their moves - they're the new generation 🩷
My first bonus yap🥹
Ok, so I work for a student housing charity, Unipol as the Resident Wellbeing Coordinator and I reaaaaaally want to share the uni advice that you spoke about on the Patreon. Literally, the ideas you suggested (if you're in halls leave the door open, preplanned questions about the course etc) because literally, so helpful! I know this is a long shot but it there any way you could share just that clip - I know it's on the patreon but it would definitely help so many students! We can then reshare it on our socials - and im willing to bet lots of other accom providers and unis that we link in would probably share it too!!!
As a person who works at a shop that sells pokemon cards, I can say it is equal for kids and adults, but the kids dont care if you get the chaser they just want the pictures
Still not in random follower list.
My experience at an all girls school was just that we all made out with each other 😅 didn't really get the psychological warfare experience
in what universe is that (obviously green) mug blue?? certainly not in the one we're currently in but ok dan
not to distract from the curry incident but at 0:25 the lava lamp looks like A LITTLE GUY MOVING HIS LITTLE GUY BODY thxsomuch
Dan is correct about the mug in that context I’m sick of this green slander, everything that’s not pristine blue just gets called green NO 🙅♀️
for someone who's convinced they can kill a cheetah, dan gives us way too many reasons why he can't
When I had an MRI for what turned out to have been a sinus infection half a year earlier, I just listened to the radio and they had these prism glasses that made it so I could see down myself into the room in front of the "Tube". Yes it was loud but it was not so bad actually, but maybe I am just not so scared of such devices.
Omigosh Merch reveal, I'm particularly obsessed with the "HL Fragile Handle with care Hoodie"! But the jacket is fire honestly, black fire on white background that is, GOTH(tm)!
that mug is 100% blue. in an opposite situation, i would not understand if that was referred to as « the green mug »
Dan you and I are the same when it comes to clumsy incidents. The energy of this podcast episode is unhinged. Living for it. "Inside mind thoughts" incredible 10/10. Wanting to be in each others minds...you want to merge into one person so badly. I desperately need you to read my favorite book series. Dying at you both having medical situations before you go on tour. That eye procedure sounds like a lot. Dying at the name of that MRI playlist. I never get to have music whenever I get an MRI which is annoying. I just get the ear plugs. Glad everything is ok, but the 15 pills a day thing would be so annoying. The set is incredible. I can't wait to see it in person. The merch is so good. And photocard s3! I can't wait. Ok the coat debate. I agree you need to bring one or two. You should bring one though, so Dan you're insane, but 5 is also a lot so that's insane too. But I get where Phil is coming from. You're going to different places where there's different weather and sometimes it changes drastically. A vagina woman - incredible. I'm totally into a bi spiderman. That would be so good. Love hearing your school stories - viagra school, Phil's various hairstyles, reinventing yourself over the summer, incredible. Shitty teachers are truly the worst. I had my fair share of them when I was in school too. I went to an all girl's school and you definitely get some of that psychological warfare, but honestly I think it depends on the school. Aww thinking of time travel and multiverses. You definitely would've gotten on. Ahhh HSM for philm club! So excited. Such a good choice. So I want to add an extra layer to the shoe debate, people with chronic illness and disability might need to wear shoes in the house. I have a house pair of shoes and an outdoor pair I alternate between. Phil and his neverending shoelace saga...I can help with that. There's a magical knot that works so well on your laces that they never come undone. Cereal and water is a no from me, but I also hate milk in cereal. I just eat it dry. Phil's report is hilarious. Bald, weird or gay Phil. Why not all 3? You and your color debates kill me every time. It's like a sea foam. But yes of the two it's more blue. I'd watch a video of you naming all the original Pokemon. I love that Dan gave Phil an either or scenario and Phil was like hold my ribena we can have both. Love it.
Okay I'm gonna be real here pham as a teacher I can report school is still dire at times. I teach middle school and the amount of homophobia still shocks me. Kids will fully use gay as an insult if their friend is annoying. Some kids will claim freedom of religion to misgender trans students. Some teachers will claim it's "not that bad". But at least my school has two advantages on that front. 1) Supportive headmaster and admin. 2) Me. Because I will fully drag a kid in front of the headmaster if they misgender someone or call someone gay. I am making my school less homophobic by sheer force of will. It WILL be a supportive environment, damn it. I will MAKE it one. Just fucking watch me. Sorry I know we're supposed to be funny in the comments lmao pretend I made a really funny joke if you need a laugh
watching this male podcast with bonys yap on my lunch break at the job I got with a masters degree 😌 (help i'm in so much debt)
Dan is right about the mugs
brother that mug is Mint coloured. Im from Finland so i have final say
Phil is always right when it comes to colour arguments. I think Dan might have a slight colorblindness honestly.
how did Phil know I’m going to sleep rn
The MRI tech asked me what kind of music I wanted to listen to and I panicked at trying to pick something easy for them to find on Spotify and just blurted out 80s. Ended up great - very soothing and also a bop
What if I died right now and the last thing I heard was this male podcast?
i could only see up to 'bony' in the notification for this & i really thought it was gonna just say 'bony yappy' or some shit
Honestly I think Dan is wrong on the coat thing lmao maybe one less coat for Phil but man they are coming right at the start of fall and it very well could end getting very cold here.😬
Dan saying he thinks about what if this is the last song he hears before he dies and Phil going 😟 while that’s the most relatable thing I’ve ever heard 😭
that scooby cereal is straight gas tho
Yellow Magic Orchestra!
insane energy, top tier episode
i’m so baffled by dan’s reaction as someone who has real fucked up cochleas (genetically) and has constant tinnitus at all times except when i am wearing my hearing aids
same, the only time I got paid that much attention for my ear dramas was when my eardrum burst lol
#BeatOfTheWeek Jade’s album 💿
laughed so hard over gay phil-weird phil-bald phil lore that my dog got up from where she was sleeping and crossed the apartment to stare at me judgmentally for disturbing her
This episode was an absolute gem thank you lads
day 165162612 of requesting a "reacting to Phan edits" video (p.s. doesn't have to be like Phan ship edits, I mean fandom edits in general)
Love a good bonys yap
I an hard launching in the comments that I got my Masters degree this past May
Motherfucker that’s teal (aquamarine whatever)
finally able to watch after work, great episode as always, so excited to see you guys at the seattle show soon!!
Watching this was fascinating as someone who's college semester started a month ago. Like oh yes happy start of school everyone!!! (On week 5)
That mug is teal
the new year convo is really giving Bob & Doug McKenzie 12 days of Christmas
Hey anyone available to go to the show in Seattle on the 16th? I just got diagnosed with mono and can’t go cause I don’t wanna make other people sick plus am dying so I wanna give my ticket to someone. No charge, just wanna give my ticket to a Phan!
no wonder dan likes to wear all black, he can't tell the difference between any other colour
i’m hard as FUCK for september
43:02 "what the ___ do you know about pikachu" was so iconic - if it was 2016 I'd make that a vine!! Also, love how quickly Dan broke his laptop from when he admitted that he held it from the edge of the screen! I had my (mental) bets placed but wow that was so fast!
I love when Phil says have a good sleep because im literally always watching this in the evening
Obsessed with Phil’s energy in this bonus yap
Is this a safe space to admit I lost my virginity in a church parking lot with an emo boy? neither into God nor boys anymore so guess it wasnt as soul fulfilling as one would hope.
I had my first mri the other week and whoever said it sounded like the beginning of i feel like a woman is FUCKING LIAR it sounded like an 8 year old who doesnt know time signatures making absolute dogshit on fl studio
that mug is mint green, i would've gotten that pure blue one if i was told to get the blue mug
One of my irrational fears is that I'll pass out or something while listening to music and my Spotify will play a song that doesn't align with my music taste (e.g. my algorithm seems to think I like Marilyn Manson even though I block literally every one of his songs that it shows me) and then the EMTs will form inaccurate assumptions about me. But I'm fine.
I’m so scared how’d the green one know I was going to sleep
As someone who had a foot/shoes partner in high school, I did in fact own a pair of soccer/football cleats that I only wore to stand on my partner on the bed. This is to sate D&Ps curiosity. Everyone else scroll on 🫠
This Monday felt extra hard. Why they so freaky today.
the moomin mug debacle is the only time i’ve agreed with dan about a color disagreement
Dip and Pip name 151 Pokémon when??
14:54 "yeah i hate the world" Werk werk werk werk werk
I finally made it onto the random Pham patreons with my whole ass government name
That mug is MINT which is a shade of GREEN. Thank you for your time.
The mug is mint sorry Daniel
i went to an all girls school and everyone was either gay and/or the biggest mean girl ever
As someone who works at a drink spot inbetween a catholic girls school and a sporty boys school can confurm they're all stuck in the early 2000s
it’s wild to me that schools in the UK and the US had communal showers for after P.E. Idk about all of Australia but my school did not have showers. you did P.E and then you were sweaty and stinky for the rest of the day 🤷🏻♀️. if you didn’t bring a change of clothes you were doing P.E in your uniform that you then had to wear for the rest of the day. i still managed to get out of most classes cause fuck P.E
Admittedly I’m from the UK and we only had showers in the swimming pool block. We never had showers after normal P.E lessons and like you the kit/uniform thing was the norm for my school…though I was also good at getting out of doing the lessons cause fuck P.E 😅😂
Phil is lowkey giving Mike Wazowski here
Alright, Philly, not too much on the thrift shop
simply that mug is not blue
IM SO EXCITED FOR HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL AHHHH!!!
Hooray I have an A ☺️
Gay Phil walked so weird Phil could have a male podcast 💀
I also just had a colonoscopy and endoscopy. I second Leah, best sleep of my life lmao
Tinnitus baddies rise up ‼️‼️
As a teacher it was super interesting, funny, and also gutting to hear you talk about your school days. I do my best to create a space where students feel safe to be their authentic selves because I know how hard school can be especially for queer kids (including myself).
That mug is mint but I feel like teal could maybe be an acceptable answer.
I am both Dan "Obviously you'd give me the LESS green cup if i asked for blue!" and Phil "neither of them are blue" depending on the situation. Dan for budding friendships, Phil for the long haul partnerships
i 100% agree with dan about the weird thoughts listening to music and being like “oh my god what if i die and this is what i die to”
sorry phil but i agree that if your only two options are green or teal and you're asked for blue you should assume teal
you know it's a healthy relationship when the "fights" are about silly shit like a mug color lol
Is now a good time to mention I've never seen high school musical
Sorry Dan, that Moomin mug is mint GREEN
I think they just tap into their 2010 manchester energy when they wear their uni hoodies. Or maybe it's the steroids. Or maybe it's maybeline
When Dan said “there’s something about being bisexual and flexible” and my husband goes “DAMN RIGHT!” 😂😂 gotta love it
bru dan listening to city pop hell yeah this guy knows BALL!!
I'll hold your other hand Jigsaw take me out I cant
I’m not surprised Phil was wiped out he was BLEEDING OUT.
Phil. We have Staples. In the UK. (Although it’s called Office Outlet now.)
My phusername is finally on the list at the end- this is the best day of my life
Phil! Bring all the coats so Dan has one without having to go to the store. 🤣
something in my house started buzzing as i was watching the tinnitus bit and i was fully ready to believe dan had just manifested ringing in MY ear
Made it 30 mins without a mention of piss. And dan just had to get it in there with "you've pissed my knee"
I’m excited for HSM philm club, I loved it as a kid
The hell is Dan popping into thrift shops. Just steal Phil’s lol
see you in seattle soon dnp!!!!!
✅name 100 women ✅name 100 men ❌name 151 gen one Pokemon
Is the Andrew Garfield news not like 13 years old? Did the phodcast fall into a time slip?
ive seen "Cat" featured several times but i have not been this is so sad...
PHIL IS SO VALID #coatmaxxing
Not that there's a bat trying to ACCESS you right now 💀
"Gay Phil walked so Weird Phil could have a male podcast" 😌
hello we're gonna need hsm1, 2, and 3 then
i went to an all girls school for seven years but was a boy for six of those years and it was great. i got my own bathroom, never had to go swimming, and pioneered an lgbt club with all the other strange little queer folk. plus most people thought it was a win when all my teachers stopped saying 'girls' and 'ladies' to the whole class bc they found it patronising
I'm weird phil
Oh, yeah, that's a steroid buzz
Bony what?
One time on a flight the turbulence was getting intense, I was thinking what if we crash and this song I’m listening to is my last song and it was rock your body by Justin Timberlake. So totally get Dan’s MRI last song fear
Wow, the energy here! Keyed up pre- travel?
Y’all’s hairs are eating in this
consider, cereal in orange juice
When the Jesus talk captions just say (Bloopers) 👀😂
in the moomin mug debate, that first mug has a big blue mouse guy on it, so i would think of the two of them that one was the blue one
really fucking rich for Yapper McYapper to make fun of Phil for not being a quiet person currently
Hell yeah!!!! Hard Monday after the SATX My Chemical Romance Show!!!?🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
just like with twilight, i'll be watching high school musical for the first time through philm club 😂
september is the jewish new year! i think we're correct about that one
Ah I love a bonys yap
This one time, our maths teacher held me and another girl after lesson. She gave us a lecture on copying homework etc and assumed that I was the one who copied. It was just an incredible coincidence that we both got the same answers right, and made the same mistakes.
you know, i actually CAN feel dans steroid energy in this episode. phil might kill him before next week, im scared.
Is Phil rebleaching pre tour 🧐
dan's school was known for the viagra incident well that's better than mine. it was known for being racist. (and i am not white, though most of the kids were)
I feel you phil! I hated PE so much (teacher bullied fat kids) so i took summer gym so i didnt need to take PE in high school
i also count the new year from september bc that's when my birthday is and i figure what better place to start than when you literally started living
The mug debate feels like a soft green blue colorblindness test. It looks like a perfect mint or teal color. Also I went to an all girls hs and my graduating class was so mean aside from my two friends. For some reason the other grades before and after me were so much nicer 😩. My brothers went to an all boys HS and they did indeed have fights all the time.
did bald phil not play gym because he was scared they were going to think he was the ball?
finally found my name is the thank list omgggg
Dan is so right about the Moomin mug, it's light blue!
Beautiful, fated: BONYS YAP on the Boner Boys From Viagra School episode of the male podcast all about being very #Hard every monday....
Phil's hoodie is green, the mug is BLUE... especially when compared to the other green mug. Technically it's probably mint green but it looks blue in comparison!
genuinely some of the worst viewer hard launch submissions.. yall
you do one then danm
Dan needs to drop the name of his best of the week in the description for all of us to add to our playlists after we finish watching instead of pausing mid-bonys yap.
That mug is clearly turquoise/teal 😭
if you guys write a bisexual spider-man can i be him please
my resume is: i have muscle. i am flexible. i can climb. thank u for ur consideratioon. Oh also I have a spider-man suit
wow phil's school report is literally a carbon copy of mine
No good sir, for I have the power of triangles!
hole punch 🥊
Dan ily but the constant interrupting of Phil was a bit much this episode 😭 Please let him speak
hi dan and phil - when my boots are getting use in the bedroom they get a lovely thorough scrub down before and after. hope this helps!
Honestly I'm with Phil on the coat situation...is that not normal? Like the weather in the US is very random and varies not only by place but also by like day. I fear Dan is too used to the consistency of rarely leaving the house weather 😔
As someone who has witnessed and experienced the hell that is female psychological warfare I can confirm it is WILD
that's literally a seafood green mooman mug
omg twinning i spilled instant noodles on my laptop ages ago and my trackpad doesn't work anymore either
So that mug is mint green, and I get why Phil was confused as the Green mug has a blue character so if you say pass the blue mug I would assume you meant the one with the blue character
Great bonys yap guys
Daddies calm down don’t fight their all green
I fell asleep on a couch with a skirt on and woke up thinking there was a mouse in my skirt. I brushed it out of my skirt saying "get out, get out". A bat flopped onto the floor. Not a mouse.
I need more details about this fountain! I can’t picture weird Phil and gay Phil doing hard manual labor involving concrete 😂
guy fawkes in phil’s school houses of parliament or teachers car
i heard ages agp that andrew garfield wanted bi spiderman? this aint new news, lads. but still a great episode
I love when they both make a sound and the captions just- fill the screen. Its great lol
Every MRI I have had is the same, you choose music to listen to during test. Machine starts up and sounds like it's broken! It is so loud you can't hear anything and wait for death! 😂
bonys yap
The gay agenda is taking my straight brother to the hard launch tour so he will watch the podcast and be less scared of bisexual spiderman ❤️
its blue verging on green. light sea foam
Bi spiderman means more people finding out about the Spiderman/Deadpool ship
I'm not even kidding when I say HSM has aged SO WELL! Troy Bolton, didn't care about him at all as a kid, and now he's like one of the sweetest leads. Genuinely, if you love a musical it just gets more camp the older you get <3
that mug is MINT!
What is with Dan and spilling curry 🥀
Another day of asking for you to react to one of the Barbie movies for pham tier. Super excited for high school musical!!!
september is my birth month 🙂↕️
not to give Dan another addiction but if he hasnt, i NEED him to get into pokelike. Its roguelike pokemon and its just SO good.
dan i have my first MRI on wednesday and this pep talk is not helping
in their defense imo the bonys spelling kinda gives just their british pronunciation
im sure dan will hate this but you can absolutely tell he's on steroids in the best way hes so hype in this video i love the energy!!! as someone whos taken medical steroids before... also corticosteroids are not the same type as hormone steroids which people use at the gym!!!
Jewish new year is in fall. I just passed lets week. So september can absolutely bee the besr
Bonys
He knows that whenever he says "don't draw fanart of that" one of us will DEFINITELY draw fanart of that, right?!
i too have experienced the medical spitroast, much love to leah!!
please dont say "service an old lady" ffs
Was watching Hard Monday to avoid working on my personal statement…
Dan that is just a less green green. That is so clearly NOT blue
"its hard listening to someone who watches their hobby youtube videos outloud every day" ... me with my dan and phil 17 yr hyperfixation watching this outloud...
Virginia mention 🗣️🗣️🗣️
omg rly I feel seen r u going to the dc show
Dan, it's mint green! 🤣
I really hope, everything on their laptops is in some cloud 🤦🏼♀️
September sees the two most important Jewish holidays of the year! It’s disappointing that no one can think of anything exciting in September when it’s the Jewish new year!
Sorry but water and cereal? 💀 My girlfriend was like YES and it's the only time I've ever had to walk away from her. Thanks for ruining the relationship 💖✨😂
i genuinely bring like 12 coats every time i pack you’re normal phil
I've also had an MRI before. I had a fracture in my femur and it was so small they needed an MRI to see it. No one knows the cause of my fracture...
i agree HARD on the single sex school thing. i went to an all girls school and dan is right, everyone was SO mean it was insane 😭 also i came out as a lesbian in year 7 and was the first openly queer kid.. and then i came out as trans the next year. both things went about as well as you could expect. also with the not being integrated into society, in many ways i am so so grateful that i didnt have to interact with cis men my age for 7 years but it also left me horrendously unprepared for.. life generally. single sex schools are very strange and outdated and it shocks me they still exist honestly
i sort of go back and forth with it. my school was really progessive both for the era and the location. being at an all girls school was really refreshing bc the girls at my school were super supportive of eachother. the school was super feminist and very sex positive at a time and place where misogynistic purity culture was the standard. i definitely dont think i would have gotten that type of personal and professional support as a woman of color anywhere else. that being said, reintegration hit HARD. i feel like i lost the skill set of being able to protect myself from men. like it made me weirdly naive? less street smart? and much more sensitive. it made it harder to go back to dealing w sexism/ homophobia/ predatory bar culture on a regular basis. i think it was definitely worth it for me but i also dont think i often hear about people w the same experience. generally i hear better from people who went to an all girls school than all boys. obviously thats not always the case tho
Friday night MRI brother
👏.👏.👏.
Question for Richard- what kind of milk do you put in your cereal? Whole? Nut? (lol)
it's not blue it's not green it's miku colour
i also think what if i died listening to this AWFUL song and they find me dead listening to terrible music but its so not normal
See yall in two days!! Can’t wait
entirely unrelated but I keep vocal stimming in my head the duck noise dan made from that one tweet from react to phan twitter that’s like “the ducks in the pond when I pull out the bread”
hahhhh 🦆🦆🦆 if you get this I feel seen
Dan getting an MRI that quick is insane to me as a Canadian where wait times for that are like a year plus
as an asian phannie i feel rly seen by all the stories of dan spilling and dropping asian food everywhere ❤️ a true ally
free marketing for the cuisine
”School is not forever” Unless you become a teacher like i did 💀 (I do love my job tho)
They are in fact both wrong, that mug is in fact mint green, and if Phil had said “you mean the mint one” all would have been well😂
“yaoi smell” dans grandma truly is gone
love u queen
dan and phil pokemon quiz when
the school report is gonna send me I already know
Why is so damn cute that Phil’s response to Dan losing a hand in some messed up imaginary scenario was “that’s okay I’ll hold the other one” 🥺😭
Lesbian who went to an all girls school here - it was shit 👍
big relatability for phannies who were bullied in high school
Best one yet there was no room for thoughts
"some people say september is the new new year" fun fact boys, jewish new year IS in september!! shana tova!
as someone who went to an all-girls school, i can confirm it was all-out psychological warfare. ironically though, lesbians were par for the course and an accepted and established part of the school, and the few people that were trans were generally left alone. the bullying was too high-concept for regular insults.
I feel u this was my school minus it being all girls 😭 bullying has evolved
Does anyone have the hard launch email for submissions?
hardlaunchpodcast@gmail.com
As a queer who left school two years ago, we're struggling out here. Teachers won't touch transphobic bullying with a ten foot pole, i was attacked inside and outside of school, and sexually harassed for 3 straight years. (Gay trans guy, came out in year 8, January 2022, in a mixed gender school)
You when the universe does that weird thing where verything seems to be a coincidence? I was talking about my old school reports today to someone and my teachers really had no clue! 'Works hard, could participate more in class discussion, but is clearly popular with her classmates.' Really Mrs Blind as a Bat? Bullied no end, sat at the back out of the way, got through exams on pure luck and ability to think critically with limited teacher input but yeah, sure, 'popular', lets go with that!
Not apologising for the typos since there's one in the title, but still, stay in school kids! Good luck to all those off to uni. I loved it and would do it again if it didn't cost the earth now.
Big ups to the editor who saw the comments about ppl wanting to see them react to what the other person is saying, i see you 🫵🫶
Boosting this bc YES I’m so grateful- much improved
Jackets: You need a thin, medium, and thick jacket for the different kinds of weather. Or, to get more space, you can just take the medium and the thick. Technically speaking, you can take the medium jacket with you and take it on and off on days where the weather fluctuates between hot and cold (where a thin jacket would be needed). You can take an umbrella; you don't need a raincoat. You don't need color options, especially if you are traveling, as space is important. Say, for example, you want to buy another coat while traveling. Now you have the space to accommodate that. Think of packing like this: You take the very least amount of clothes you need, with maybe 1 or 2 extra tops, trousers, undergarments, and socks, for in case. Those can be packed in a carry-on or separate from the other clothes in case you lose clothes, forget clothes on accident, etc. But you really want to bring the very bare minimum of what you want, and then you can buy souvenirs or bring back other things you may want to buy. This also stops the bag from being too heavy. Coats take up the MOST room in a suitcase because, rolled or folded, it is a lot of material. But knowing that coats are something Phil likes to collect is something to keep in mind. Where I would say only 2-3 coats is the max for travel (I travel about every 3-6 months overseas and across different countries), it is very different for a collector. For example, I collect vintage dresses. I often bring more than I need. 1-2 dresses for any season is okay, yet I take like 4-6. It's different for a collector.
Watching this in the top of a bunk bed while my friend is falling asleep in the bottom bed is a challenging time (I'm quietly giggling every 5 seconds)
Also dan is right this mug is blue!!! I keep having an argument about this colour with everyone but IT'S BLUE
The mug is green
I hated the standard small talk college questions so to be oh so quirky (😅) I’d ask people what dinosaur they think they could befriend lol 80% effective for making friends in the most chaotic way lol
Phil - I went to your secondary school in the 2010s - lots of us were very gay very out and proud and most importantly very happy!!
"it's not like he would have gone back in the closet", you're absolutely right, Phil, who would do that?
Dude I thought the same thing....
As an American, hearing you guys talk about getting preventative healthcare regularly makes me so mad
Same actually as a Swede, it is of course not by far as bad as in the US since it's mostly free here too, but preventative care is pretty bad here imo, you will only get help if you need it urgently, otherwise they'll brush it off and say "you're probably fine!" ... another thing is that they're really restrictive with anesthetics here, so hearing colonoscopy stories where ppl get full anesthesia is always interesting cause that's just not how it's done here
So Dan is actually right. The is a color on the mug is called Tiffany Blue so you should of handed it to him
Personally if I was going on a tour through a country/continent with many different climates but did not really go outside much, like some peopleeeeeee, probably like one coat would do and one regular jacket. Thoughhhhh extras may be useful if I were to wear them for the shows/ meet and greets
I’m sorry Dan but that mug was mint green
Please react to The Last Of Us season 1 episode 3 on the film club!! Desperate for your reaction 🫠
actively dying my pants for hard launch tour
As a finn! The mug is mint green. Also phil is gonna need his big jacket once you come here😝🥲
one time my friend and i were in a near-car accident and the last song we wouldve heard was superbass
Can confirm ‘single gender’ schools are still shit. But hey. It makes us funny.
hi
Leah sounds like they ate the forever weed brownie
Anyone else still not had their name on a video... literally joined the Pham on the first day.....
bonys
Moomin <3 So exited to see you gays in Finland
I’m sorry Phil the mug is more blue than green
the bisexual spiderman thing has been around the block and back, maybe Andrew brought it up again but he's talked about it plenty
dan getting clocked by the ear-play-specialist not the förGAY Playlist xD
Fun fact: there are MRI machines where you‘re sitting and it‘s fucking agony to sit still for that long!
I need to tell you there’s so much spidey/mbj fanfic and you all need to read all of it
they were bonys here
knowing you guys are gone for months and going to many different cities and climates, I actually think Phil’s 5 coats is reasonable 😅
I had brain surgery last Monday and I have no recollection whatsoever about the first 12 hours. But the anaesthetic sleep was chefs kiss.
We need innovation we need tikka masala kebabs
YES - I'm investing
My rebrand was picking up journaling over the summer, and I fell into it hard and fast. I now have a leather journal system for school, and it's lowkey embarrassing to take it out in class, but it brings me so much joy that I end up not caring. It makes me so much more motivated to take notes while I get this psych degree >~<
Thankful to be a weirdly spelled Maegen. Nobody knows how to spell it my way correctly so they can't pin it on me! And I'm not the basic spelling.
i love a bonys yap where dan doesn’t know how to spell or identify colors 😇😇😇 (side note, that is a mint green which is a blue toned green but it IS green, soz, babe)
ALSO: i also got a weird random muffled sound/tinnitus moment in my left ear this week so i think dan cursed me??
when you rewatch HSM: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTUXHsasm/ I LOVED this analysis!!! would love to hear y’alls thoughts hahaha
The Jewish new year always falls on September, we just had this holiday. So in a way Phil was right about September being the new-new year! 🤣
dan calling phil's teacher a nerd for using the word 'potent,' when he uses the longest most literary words ever, is so funny
nooooo dan and weird phil don’t get killed by the trolley problem incident ur so sexy aha x
You're telling me I'm meeting dan howell on steroids in 4 days
I cant come but I need that jacket, my hen do is y2k themed
SET REVEAL GOES CRAZY I'm so excited to see you guys this friday ahhhhhhh
A from me for this podcast
the concept of your school being referred to as "viagra school" only to grow up and have a podcast that makes everyone hard each monday
HIGHSCHOOL MUSICAL WATCH ALONG ARE YOU JOKING???,!!???
Technically if you're Jewish, September IS the new year lmao so you're a little bit onto something. Rosh Hashanah was this past weekend, happy 5787 to all my fellow Jewish baddies!!
September is new year... new pencil case, new me right?
bonys
dan you have to take that laptop to apple RIGHT TF NOW 😭
dan u should try the pkmnquiz game !! you have to name every pokemon as fast as you can, i think you'd like it !!
how ironic that on the episode Dan says he had a traumatic high school experience, he gets to go to the comment section and get bullied for a spelling mistake
Dan. Will all love and respect. That mug is nothing but green.
Phil Lester putting his english language degree to good use daily.
we maniphested color war today woah!!! now we need to stop maniphesting it because we don't want tour phivorse!!
Keep the couch please
Phil, this is why you just get black everything. It goes with everything. I do understand that different weather situations require different jackets. I own an insane amount of jackets and my mother gives me shit about it all the time. But on a trip, that's excessive.

Aww, animals that get tested for rabies don’t survive :(
ik that made me sad too that poor bat
i think about dying to that song i'm listening to constantly! sometimes it's a bad thought and sometimes it would just be a perfect, cinematic triumphant ending
pokemon being higher than rollercoasters for dan, i know what you are (and same)
phil had nailed down the afab experience of "being on your period" to skip pe for like four weeks in a row in his own way, nice
bonys my yap
it took them about 10 times of saying it before i realized they were saying bald phil not bold phil
they finally made the "i love lying" crop top! can't wait to buy it
will dan and phil ever stop arguing over whether turquoise is green or blue when the whole point of the color is that it's both mixed together?
literally!!
I think cereal with water is a bit too spicy for your british tastebuds
Bonys
In comparison, the mug is blue. In larger context, it is questionable. Robin's egg blue maybe?
That was an good one.
if you had the blue cup instead of the darker green would you still have said the cup was blue?? or would you have said green? 😭
I agree with Phil, those mugs are both green 🫠
7:30 I always think about what if I get hit by a car and my headphones are playing fucking magical girl anime tunes
aquamarine
boner yap
Hard & Bony Mondays for the phatreon
Yes, Dan. I absolutely think "omg if I die and this is the last thing I'm listening to..." Depression girlies!!
You loving Pokemon? Pokemon go is still out there. Just saying
These two are such little freaks <3
I feel thoroughly un-homophobia'd
fun fact jewish new year is in september (rosh hashanah) so you are correct lol
Shana tova! 🍏 🍯
#yaoismell
“Yaoi laptop smell”, “dripping out of every hole”🤣 the beginnings of these are always so chaotic. I love hard Mondays, making my week start better.
weird phil ilysm i would have wanted to be your friend so bad
LIKE it’s actually upsetting a bit😭
Not the förGAYS playlist lmao
Yeah they moved on too quick from that
Not the förGAYS playlist lmao
Just got a voice note from my friend saying she could possibly be teen pregnant. Time to watch some dan and phil
Bonys
The hoodies...phan-ychological warfare.
Why am I getting health information from the hard podcast 😭 wdym Dan Howell figured out my random mysterious short term hearing loss that happened 10 years ago 😭😭😭
this is sending me what is the story behind this 😭
i’m glad i’m not the only one that accidentally says things instead of thinking them
MY BONYS!!
yeah no thats a green mug
Love me some bonys
Insane timing on this dropping while in a counselling session talking about dropping out of university for polytechnic university
it feels like just yesterday dan told us he isnt being careful with his old ass laptop....
Well no doubt about that now
🅱️🅾️♌💹💲
I 100% support young Phil for lying his way out of PE
100% A+ for weird Phil
you’re telling me there was 2 gay phils
*NSFW- Jesus could probably give really good head if he used his stigmata like the grapefruit method
That wouldn’t be head if he’s using his hands
OH SHIT MY FRIEND HAD THAT EYE OP. Literally exact same procedure. He said it feels really weird but doesn’t hurt. For him, they messed up the disk size and THAT hurt but the actual “operation” he said just felt rlly weird
I love BONYS YAP
I understand the start of the new year being January 1. My birthday is at the end of January so I treat the first few weeks of a year as a trial period to get vibe for the year (which made the events of 2020 even more wild cuz the year started out so strong). But September is my new year. It has to be because school starts.
ah yes the bonys yap 😂😂😂
I love the hard launch with the bonys yap
Guess Dan grabbing his laptop by the edge and tossing about was the least of its worries. Curry computer. Yum.
i can’t get hard this monday without veronica here :/
The merch looks so cooooool i can't wait for tour 🥲
me and phil both being quiet and not asking for help in school #twinning
Week 42 of waiting for my name in the patreon credits :/
there’s like 30,000+ people subscribed 😭 so it might take a bit…
It’s my dads
real question is it just the first hsm or all of them 👀👀
the hoodies are going to send me into cardiac arrest
Perfect timing I just got home 😌
the all girls school to trans guy pipeline should be studied
I listen to all my audiobooks at 2x speed but might need to slow this down to keep up, the boys are wired today 😂
bonys yap.
bonys yap
Jesus steamy fanfic was not on my bingo card 😂
That photo of hs Phil looks like he's the main love interest in an early 2000s teen drama
hard bonys
My last Hard Launch before seeing ya’ll in Denver!!
Bonys 💅
bro said bonys yap
ah at last
bonys 🚬
good things come to those who constantly refresh the patreon for 15 minutes
i was a cereal + water girl when i lived at a teen psych ward and they refused to keep around dairy free milk 😭
high school musical on the philm club is crazy cause that was my very first fandom, and then after was twilight. and then you clowns came right after that. feels very full circle 🥲
