I'd like to hear about his day at the Barbican and of course he'll talk about the gaming video but I can't really think what else.
Quick everyone, liveshow predictions?
I'm betting some complaints about the internet, pumpkin spice latte mentions and debunking the moving theory in some subtle way.
Haha I was gonna say he'll sit in the middle of the living room with a lot of furniture and stuff around him, and indeed, there's a shelf visible next to him. As if he just sliiiightly turned the camera to show it

lmao i had the exact same thought. there's never been a more obvious "trying to prove we're definitely not moving. nope. not at all." than this background.
I'm not from the UK, so can someone tell me if 4G is not standard there already? I'd be very surprised if they didn't already have SIM cards and phones supporting that. That would mean that their tethered livestream already was on 4G internet?
Also, that just makes Dan's LS cancellation invalid. This whole internet story is sooo weird. I still think nothing will happen. You won't get me on that train! *protecting myself from disappointment*
This was cute
Also, my predictions all came true: pumpkin spice latte talk, internet complaints and debunking the move (the weird shelf in the background, I'll take it as an attempt )
Loved the story of how Dan scared him in that escape room (guess that was a double date with Bryony and Wirrow for her birthday?).
The internet story DOES NOT add up. Broadband is not the same as 4G.

4G is standard but he means a 4G dongle that you can get from a network (like EE/O2/3/Vodafone) and plug in separately to get WiFi, rather than tethering to one of their phones. Something like this . Saves them using up all of their phone data on a tether.
(they both have iPhone 7s I think so there phones obviously support 4G and 4G tethering)
But if Dan said something about their broadband provider, unless they're on EE which do both and I assumed they were on BT or Sky, I smell bullshit.
i really enjoyed the escape room story! i did my first one of those recently and it was so fun, although theirs sounded much more intense/high quality. it's so fun to imagine them doing one though. can someone please write a fanfic of this, i am so busy lately, i don't have the time ugh
also, uncommon opinion, but i don't really believe that they're in the middle of moving. i don't think it's as clear as it was when they last moved out. i am just waiting and seeing for now.
Phil was saying how it's funny to go up to someones face and stare at their eyes upside down and recommended doing it to your own friend.
Now I'm imagining Dan just sitting on the couch with his laptop and out of nowhere Phil's face appears in front of him upside down (Phil is standing behind behind the couch) just looking into Dan's eyes and Dan's like wtf are you doing with a endearing smile on his face and Phil just laughing
( I've read this over again and it kind of makes no sense idk i suck at explaining)
