Winter is so last season and now spring's got you looking at pictures of tank tops with hungry eyes. Your algorithm is feeding you cutoffs. You're thirsty for the sun on your shoulders that perfect hang on the patio. Sundress those sandals you can wear all day and all night. And you've had enough of shopping from your couch. Done. Hoping it looks anything like the picture when you tear open that envelope. It's time for a little in person spring treat. It's time for a trip to Ross. Work your magic.
Dan
I almost leaked my own nudes the other day.
Phil
Dan, you need to stop doing that.
Dan
Instagram is out to get you psa. Have you heard of instant yes, it's terrifying. Explain it.
Phil
There's a new feature where it's like, hey, share what you're doing right now.
Dan
Fucked up.
Phil
A camera appears, you press, take the picture and it sends it out to everyone. You don't even get to look at it.
Dan
It instantly.
Phil
Which they give you no warning for.
Dan
I know that's the name.
Phil
They don't tell you.
Dan
It happens so fast and it just sends it. So I have a rotted brain and I can't do anything without a noise to keep me from thinking.
Phil
Nothing.
Dan
Because my own thoughts are terrifying.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
I had a shower. I was drying myself. I had propped my phone up on a towel rail.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
And I was just gonna let the reels happen.
Phil
Sure.
Dan
Bit of towel action, bit of the reels. Classic. Part of my morning.
Phil
Classic.
Dan
And then I saw, oh, try instance today. And I think, what's that? So I just tap it, give it a go. The front camera's right there. And I'm like, oh, what's that happening? On apps when you double tap the front camera, it spins the camera around.
Phil
Dangerous.
Dan
So I tap it and I have fully just taken a pic of my entire wet, naked body. And I don't know what the fuck you're picturing, but I was not standing sexually in a steamy bathroom.
Phil
Oh, my gosh.
Dan
I was stood. Just relaxed.
Phil
Was your knob fully out, Dan?
Dan
Wet? No, my hair was like, all over the place.
Phil
You can send that to everyone.
Dan
Towels tucked between my crack like a tail. I don't know what the fuck that I was doing with that. And so I lurched for the phone, and in an instant. Yeah, Instagram. I put airplane mode on. And then I'm just going, oh, my God. And just to be safe, I've got my finger on the screen. The app hasn't moved yet. I still see the photo. Swipe it closed before I can do something else.
Phil
I'm stressed.
Dan
And then I sit cold, wet ass on the tiles, and I'm just like, who did I just send my wet body to?
Phil
Well, who could it. If it's anyone that follows you back,
Dan
jacksepticeye doesn't want to see that. Zach Polanski. I mean, maybe Zach. I don't know, but he's busy. I don't know what Zach Polanski's doing, but there's fucking weird mutuals going back all this time.
Phil
They don't all want to see the hog.
Dan
So I turned on airplane mode, and it didn't go through.
Phil
Oh, my God.
Dan
But I swear, my life flashed before my eyes.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
So to any of you watching this right now, my beware, Beware. I saved your life.
Phil
Three, two, one.
Dan
Happy Hard Mondays, everybody.
Phil
Happy Hard Monday to especially you listening right now. Should we do an instant?
Dan
Fuck all the people watching on YouTube.
Phil
Should we do an instant.
Dan
Should we do an instant right now? You think you're funny, do you? You play with my trauma too soon, Phil. Like the Titanic. Too soon.
Phil
Sorry.
Dan
You with your clothed, dry privilege.
Phil
I know.
Dan
Jesus Christ.
Phil
I sent one and then I got nobody liking it.
Dan
I felt that's worse than leaking your wet cock.
Phil
It went out. I know.
Dan
That is fucking devastating, but don't say wet cock. What's worse than your moist, damp nudity is posting an instant and no one gives a fuck.
Phil
To be fair, I've got 350 mutuals and none of them liked it.
Dan
We're gonna have to hit you with a classic.
Phil
Yeah, you could have liked it. That must have popped up on your phone.
Dan
Cheryl, I'm gonna be real with you right now. I don't watch your Instagram stories.
Phil
Why?
Dan
Because I'm fucking in them. Okay? I don't need to know what you did today. You were sa.
Phil
I was sat in a taxi doing a cute little tongue out face.
Dan
I'm sure it was great.
Phil
I thought it was cool.
Dan
I thought you thought you were concentrating on something and Phil just sat in a cab going.
Phil
I mean, I do that a lot in Facebook.
Dan
I mean, we've seen all the Hunks that are on your Instagram reels. So that's just what I assume.
Phil
You're sat in a cab going salivating on my phone.
Dan
So you were sending an incident and over your head.
Phil
Yeah, I'm gonna try it with my ass out and then see who likes it then.
Dan
Alright, look forward to that scandal. Why were you in a cab, Dan? Phil, speaking of being wet, we were
Phil
going to the Chelsea Flower.
Dan
What the fuck is that? Everybody on earth says it's a show. It's a flower show. Dallas and Chelsea flowers. No ship. It is a competitive gardening event. Yeah, who knew that landscaping was an esport? Wait, wait, sorry. If something is real, it's not an esports, it's just a sport. I'm actually not familiar with that game.
Phil
Literally, you could basically walk around, have some Pimms, look at some flowers and feel all fancy. I got a new shirt with flowers on it. Aw.
Dan
Phil ordered a new shirt with a flower on it and he feel looked really nice. I ordered some new clothes and they didn't ship.
Phil
You had such a meltdown.
Dan
I ordered them on a Thursday and then on Friday I checked to see if the next day delivery would happen and they didn't send them until Monday. Well, guess what? The event was on Monday and you
Phil
were like, what am I gonna wear? My hair's a mess.
Dan
Okay, Phil, what are we gonna go here?
Phil
Yes. Dan had a full meltdown before we left.
Dan
We both had full social freakouts in relation to this event at different times. And you freaked out first.
Phil
Well, my first freak out was welcome.
Dan
Welcome to Psychology with Dan.
Phil
Phil, we got. It's like you might be on BBC News talking about gardens. I don't know fuck all about gardens and anything like that. So why am I there? Like an imposter?
Dan
I was excited for this because a year ago we and a couple friends went to this gardening show. We don't know anything. Phil can barely keep a cactus alive. No, but you just go to this gardening show, you day drink, there's a load of old people, you dress up with your friends. And the reason I like it is because I appreciate design.
Phil
Oh yes, he loves a rusty waterfall.
Dan
It is competitive gardening. People spend hundreds of thousands of pounds sponsored by evil banks on the most crazy gardens from the year 3000 you've ever seen. Yes. And if you're just someone that appreciates art, it's just fucking cool to see the best gardeners in the world kicking their pussies all the way up the wall. Yes, there's medals, there's literally prizes. Where like the gold medal. Flower arranging. Who doesn't want see what the Royal Horticultural Society has awarded the Gold medal of Vaz to.
Phil
I'm into all of that.
Dan
Exactly. So it's a great day.
Phil
Lick licking.
Dan
What?
Phil
Lick my ice cream.
Dan
He's got an ice cream.
Phil
Look at my plants.
Dan
It was the press day.
Phil
I was scared.
Dan
Last year we went as punters. It was a bit gross because it
Phil
was a lot of people.
Dan
There was a lot of people, like, elbow to elbow with a lot of old people.
Phil
But this was press day, when celebs go and there's loads of press there interviewing people about gardens.
Dan
It is a big social event in the calendar. It's a big deal for glamorous people.
Phil
David Beckham, Benedict Cumberbatch, Joanna Lumley.
Dan
Yeah, we saw Joanna Lumley in the flesh. Ethereal.
Phil
I don't deserve to be in the same room as Joanna Lumley.
Dan
I mean, it was an outdoor space, so you don't deserve to be in the same earth as Joanna Lumley.
Phil
I know. None of us do. We should all stop breathing right now. But I was just nervous. Claudia Winkleman was gonna walk up to me and be like, phil, how do you propagate your cactus?
Dan
You're here today because you love gardens, right? Name a garden. No, name a grass. Phil, Esther, you are here on the press day of the Royal Horticultural Society show. If you can't name 10 fucking breeds of daffodil, Kamala Harris, we're gonna shoot you.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
You're gonna die right now.
Phil
So that was my freak out. I was just worried.
Dan
I was excited for this event.
Phil
I was worried about it.
Dan
And then Phil was like, we can't go. We're not meant to be there. And so I had to go. Phil, I was looking forward to this, okay? I've been looking forward to this all year.
Phil
I know.
Dan
I don't need your negative vibes.
Phil
I'm sorry.
Dan
And so, Phil, to be fair, you locked in.
Phil
I did. I locked in. I got a new shirt and I felt like I was cool.
Dan
And on the day of it, you had positive mental anxiety.
Phil
I was like, yeah, let's do it. Let's get out of the BBC.
Dan
And then I freaked the fuck out on the day because my hair wasn't cooperating.
Phil
My hair's not working.
Dan
I can't be the only one. Are you ever not, like, just doing an event and then your hair just doesn't work and you're just going, I look fucking stupid. I had a Classic my hair looks stupid. Meltdown.
Phil
I'm gonna shave my head. It's horrible.
Dan
I showered TW to reset my hair.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Because to be fair, I have curly hair. It just does what it wants. I dry it, and then I wait and I go, okay, you're doing this today.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
It didn't work.
Phil
You looked fine. You were just having a meltdown.
Dan
I got fully soaked. Almost showed everyone my dick on Instagram, which didn't help the emotional level.
Phil
Bad day.
Dan
Soaked again. And I looked stupid again. I put so much hairspray in my hair, and then I tried to wash it out, and it was just like rubbing concrete on the top of my head.
Phil
They had a dildo garden.
Dan
Yeah, they did. So brands sponsor the installations to pay for it because it's expensive. So there were some people that did,
Phil
like, a sexy love shed, butt plugs and begonias.
Dan
And it was sponsored by Lovehoney. And they did have. Yeah. Roses and roses.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Amy. Amy.
Phil
Beads.
Dan
I don't think there was beads. It was beads and seeds. Very good.
Phil
That caused an uproar with the.
Dan
The old people were aghast at the idea that sex is supposed to be pleasurable and women can buy things that know where the clitoris is. How dare they. Get away from my cactus.
Phil
And you know the ironic thing? Half the people visiting had a butt plug already. Right up there. Kinky little freaks.
Dan
Okay, so far, we've only established that, like, Benedict Cumberbatch and Joanna Lumley were here, so not. Johanna, you are now cancell. Benedict butt plug. That's what they call him in the streets.
Phil
We're gonna get liable. No, he didn't. I don't.
Dan
Liable. Yeah. I'm liable to choke you out on this male podcast.
Phil
Wow.
Dan
So, no, we had a nice time. The reason we were there on press day is a lot of people do gardens for charities to raise awareness for good events.
Phil
Lovely.
Dan
So young minds who I've proudly been involved with supporting for, what, like, 10 years at this point?
Phil
Yes.
Dan
Let's not think about that too much. Had a garden that was celebrating the fact that young people need to touch grass.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
No. No. It's not a joke.
Phil
No, they do. It's important.
Dan
Wow. Really?
Phil
No, they do.
Dan
Young people, they have no spaces anymore. Okay. They took them all away.
Phil
It was a worthy cause.
Dan
It was.
Phil
And we met grass. We met some of the young people that made the garden.
Dan
They actually planted it.
Phil
I learned about a tree, and this
Dan
is why it's called. It's metaphorical. They're like We've got a rock split in two with a tree growing between it as a metaphor for how you can rise from mental health crises. Oh, my God. We've got that freaky tree that's growing on its side, showing that you can be someone that was born growing on your side and you can do whatever you want and look beautiful.
Phil
I was definitely born growing on my side. I got a sexy picture as well, didn't we? Sat on the floor like that.
Dan
Sexy.
Phil
Yeah, I looked hot.
Dan
Well, as you know, Dan and Phil are in their Getty Images era, desperately trying to cover up the 2016 Radio 1 Teen Awards. And so when a man came up to us and said, dan and Phil squat on this pavement.
Phil
Don't meme my fist, though, please, because it was a general hand resting on my knee. It's not a fist.
Dan
A man went up to Phil and said, pose now. And so he just had to do something.
Phil
That's how I sit naturally.
Dan
So despite us both having total meltdowns, me almost leaking my nudes and Phil having a weird fist. Horrible things to put together. We survived going outside.
Phil
Yes. Another fist. So you might have noticed there was no ads last week because I was dressed as a cheese. None of them wanted to be part of it.
Dan
Yeah, I wonder why. Do you want to be associated with cheese and ham?
Phil
Do you know how much censoring we had to do? I didn't realize it was flapping up so much.
Dan
Everybody say thank you to the editor who Phil asked to do multiple rounds of editing to cover up the. How do I say this? Cheese covered penis.
Phil
No, Dan, we're trying to get into the ads. We're trying to be classy.
Dan
Matt, stab a stick. This is literally the segue into our first sponsor. Just ignore me.
Phil
More buses come at once. We got three today, and here's the first one. Thank you, all of us. And you know what, Dan?
Dan
What?
Phil
I might go outside and feel more alive because it's concert season.
Dan
Okay, I see what you did there.
Phil
Yeah. Shout out to our next sponsor. SeatGeek. Oh.
Dan
The number one rated ticketing app for
Phil
music, sports, and even musicals that should be starring me.
Dan
Broadway. No way. Who's on tour right now? Hazza Camped up in msg.
Phil
Hazza. Bts. The Dallas Symphony Orchestra performing top Maverick.
Dan
You just read that off the screen?
Phil
No, I didn't. I already got my tickets.
Dan
I wrote that down because I saw that, and I was like, oh, cool. That's random. Maybe I want to go see it.
Phil
Sweaty men, hopefully.
Dan
All sorts going on.
Phil
Anyway, Seatgeek rates tickets from 1 to 10, so you can see how good se.
Dan
I like it. When you go to see an orchestra show, sometimes they have seats behind the orchestra so you can see people tinkling the ivories. They should do that at more concerts.
Phil
They should.
Dan
The tickets behind BTS.
Phil
What are you gonna see then? The BT ass.
Dan
And we're rating at a 10. Thanks, Seatgeek.
Phil
Well, concert season is about to kick off, and to make it even better, you can use code DAN&PHIL10 for 10% off your SeatGeek tickets. What was that? That's 10% off tickets with promo code DAN&PHIL10.
Dan
Make sure you click the link in the description to download the app and have the code automatically added to your account so you can use it later.
Phil
Thank you, seatgeek. Thank you. To our next sponsor, Whatnot.
Dan
It's the number one livestream shopping app. Oh, I love some live shopping.
Phil
It's really, like, intense and fun. You could be into beauty, vintage fashion, collectibles, movie memorabilia. I'm more of a collectible guy. You saw me when the LabuBoos came out. I went wild.
Dan
I need to keep you away from it. Yeah, let's just see what's on. Okay, we need a category.
Phil
You've got to buy the first thing that looks good for me as a present.
Dan
You were talking about gems the other day.
Phil
I want a gem.
Dan
Okay, someone's doing one here that says crystals, cats, and chaos.
Phil
Ideal. Hey.
Dan
Hey, Hayley, we're gonna hop in the chat.
Phil
Can you get me a gem that brings me good luck and also makes me hot?
Dan
Gem girlies. Is there one that does that out there?
Phil
There must be.
Dan
I don't know.
Phil
Ooh, a spider.
Dan
Jasper Quartz Tower.
Phil
That sounds ideal.
Dan
It's his and his crystal quartzs. Oh, I feel like we need it. They are 6 or 7 inches. Let. No, the pounds.
Phil
Oh, the cost.
Dan
Jesus Christ.
Phil
Should we get one?
Dan
I'll bid. Oh, Phil, it's happening.
Phil
Are we getting it just like that?
Dan
We bought an edgy quartz towel.
Phil
Our gem is on the way. It's easy as that. If you want to give it a go, you can use the link below or scan this QR code to get $15 off your first purchase anywhere on the app.
Dan
Plus, for the USA girlies, they are giving away $500 in credit. If you just follow the account using the link or the QR code, you'll be autom. And the winner will be announced in one month.
Phil
Happy shopping. I'm drooping today. My microphone keeps flopping down.
Dan
There's a pill for that.
Phil
What is that?
Dan
What, can we get a sponsor?
Phil
Yeah, we.
Dan
Can we do that?
Phil
What are you saying? If we did a spawn, we just have to take the pill and see what happens.
Dan
They do like you to show that you've used the product.
Phil
Oh, yeah. Phil, make sure you're wearing the tightest pants.
Dan
That one's for the cheese suit.
Phil
Again, it would be on the Patreon. Well, more things happening in the world. Here's the thing. Do you know I don't read these ahead of time.
Dan
I like surprises.
Phil
It's always a surprise.
Dan
Come on.
Phil
Yorkshire. Street of the Apes.
Dan
Haven't seen that one.
Phil
No, I'd watch that. A local woman has a four foot gorilla statue named Caesar outside her house. And if she doesn't remove it, she could get a 20,000 pound fine.
Dan
Now this has gone quite viral and everyone's like, she shouldn't have to take down her gorilla. And then I saw the picture, it's a fucking massive gorilla. And if you had it in your front yard, it's like, okay, people have gnomes, people have stuff. She built a fucking platform for it.
Phil
It's excellent.
Dan
It's like pride rock.
Phil
Streets need more whimsy. I'm all for keeping the gorilla.
Dan
You're on team Gorilla.
Phil
She was quoted as saying, why should I remove my gorilla? It's not hurting anyone.
Dan
It's not hurting anyone. Yeah, until it falls off your washed platform and kills your husband. But what a way to go.
Phil
My mom would totally get that. Goril, famed for saying, after the James Franco Planet of the Apes movie ended, that is the best film I've ever seen.
Dan
Cinematic history.
Phil
I was like, the best film.
Dan
She loves that letterboxd. Hot take.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Steaming take.
Phil
Six stars. Next one, It's a me, Methio.
Dan
That's the headline.
Phil
A man has been sentenced. I'm a writer. Oh, my God. A man has been sentenced to six years in jail for possession of Mario shaped meth pills.
Dan
Yeah. Serious, Phil. This is serious.
Phil
Why not Luigi?
Dan
Why not Bowser? Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't think we can
Phil
say meth on this podcast.
Dan
Yeah, I'm sure you can. Walter White should have considered it. I mean, like branding.
Phil
Don't take meth.
Dan
Thank you, Phil, for that one. I agree that there should be more adult shapes that are less appealing if they were dropped on the floor is the concern here.
Phil
Okay, Luigi.
Dan
Mangione shaped Dan.
Phil
Oh my God, you're naughty today.
Dan
I'd be like, get in my fucking mouth. Allegedly.
Phil
Stop it.
Dan
Also, I'm joking. This is a comedy podcast. Hey, I'm just being silly. Phil, what is the official hard launch podcast stance on meth?
Phil
Everything's a joke, okay? Don't take meth. Hot new STI has hit the streets. Dermatophilosis.
Dan
It's named after you.
Phil
Philosis.
Dan
Also known as rain rot. That's right. This is a thing. It's been a thing for a while and it's called rain rot.
Phil
Why?
Dan
If you accidentally take a picture of your cock, on instance, you're giving people rain rot.
Phil
Okay?
Dan
No, it's because it happens in damp areas.
Phil
Oh, so where's damp where you could catch that? You have to be slamming in a damp area to get it, I assume.
Dan
Not even slamming. I think it's just kissing. Oh, you just end up with some derma bumpiness in the rubbing region.
Phil
They were kissing in a dirty puddle.
Dan
Look, if you're in a steam room, in a gay sauna, why gay?
Phil
And Phil, anyone could be in a sauna.
Dan
Look, Phil, that is so true. Right? However, this did break out amongst homosexuals in Barcelona. For fuck's sake.
Phil
Come on, guys.
Dan
Oh, my God. But at the same time, look, if you're gonna be rubbing stuff with anonymous people in dark, damp areas, be careful. You've just gotta go in knowing that this literally could happen.
Phil
It's annoying that if you show symptoms,
Dan
just don't go back until it's cleared up. Antibiotics and you'll be fine. You'll get over the rain rot, clear
Phil
it up, watch some porn for a bit. It's fine. Do you know, you could just sit
Dan
inside, but I guess you're just saying don't go back to the.
Phil
If they want to get off. Yeah, it's weird that all STIs and infections in general do bad things to you. Why isn't the one that just.
Dan
Why can't it be fun?
Phil
Oh, I'm glowing a bit.
Dan
Why can't there be.
Phil
It made me a bit taller and I had sex.
Dan
Exactly. It made me feel great for 24 hours and, oh, no, the virus died. Well, that's the world. What a time to be alive.
Phil
Speaking of catching rare things, how's about this? You may have seen, we recently released photo cards.
Dan
Oh, thank you. I have really enjoyed the I Just Ripped a Feel video.
Phil
Yes. They're so entertaining. I can't believe they're all out there in the wild.
Dan
So thank you to everybody who supported that. That was fun.
Phil
Thanks to Shopify, first sponsor in the pod.
Dan
Wait, what'd you do?
Phil
I did the magic sound with my finger.
Dan
You can do that?
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Transhumanism.
Phil
Shopify maze. The Dan and Phil shop possible.
Dan
Phil did not code it himself.
Phil
No, it's made with Shopify and it's so easy. There's hundreds of templates.
Dan
We are like, hey, we're doing something new.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
It needs a new theme. Just make a template theme for every occasion.
Phil
I love a theme.
Dan
What's the photo card one gonna be? Green.
Phil
And it's really easy to send out newsletters as well. We can just annoy you all the time.
Dan
Here's an email from Phil.
Phil
Jump into the email and if you're really disorganized. Yes.
Dan
Like some people are, hey, maybe you never have your card with you. Maybe you never have id. Maybe you don't even know where you live.
Phil
No.
Dan
Thank God for the giant purple shop pay button.
Phil
It's great. It just remembers everyone's details so people don't have to run away scared from your shop. They'll just be like, I'm gonna buy that. And then they'll get it.
Dan
So if you're thinking, hey, I want to do my own photocards and sell them to my friends because I have friends that reply to my pictures, hey,
Phil
it's time to turn those what ifs into he did it again with Shopify today.
Dan
You can sign up for a $1 a month trial today at shopify.com shop.
Phil
Dan and Phil go to shopify.com danandphil what? That's shopify.com danandphil it doesn't work if you do it. I've got the magic finger.
Dan
That's what she said.

Phil
We've been quite social beasts this week, haven't we? We went to Brighton to see PJ and Sophie.
Dan
Aw. Two of our only friends.
Phil
That was lovely that you know of
Dan
you parasocial info collectors.
Phil
We've got loads of other friends.
Dan
Don't you know how many dozens of friends we have?
Phil
Dozens. They all like our instance every day.
Dan
So. Oh, big day on the train. Oh, yeah. We got on the nub of the train and there was a first class train carriage which in the UK no one pays for first class train because it's like twice the price and then it's epically shit.
Phil
But they said, hey, it's been decommissioned today so anyone could get in it. And we were like, yeah, let's go. Let's see what it's like to fucking
Dan
sit in first class.
Phil
It was the shittest thing ever. Who's spending £100 to go into the nub of the train? There's Pringles crushed on the floor.
Dan
It was like next to a toilet. So you had toilet smell.
Phil
There was blood on the seat.
Dan
We don't know, it could have been someone cracking open a red wine after a long day.
Phil
Brownie. Red liquid spray on the seat.
Dan
There was. There was. It was feral.
Phil
But then if you see other countries first class trains on trainfluencer Talk.
Dan
Have you seen a Japanese first class train?
Phil
Insane.
Dan
I'm in a seven star hotel. There's angel sharks inside, there's a log flume.
Phil
I'm really drooping. I'm sorry. Wait. I'm just fixing my.
Dan
Think you're tightening it? Are you loosening it?
Phil
I'm making it as tight as possible. There you go, mate. Gonna stay up now, aren't you?
Dan
Alright, for the Apple music listeners, Phil was talking about his microphone.
Phil
I was.
Dan
And I am leaving the room.
Phil
It's a bit obnoxiously hot. It's a bit
Dan
professional male podcaster here.
Phil
What am I saying?
Dan
For the Apple music listeners, this is just the way that Phil is.
Phil
That's how I am.
Dan
There's no more context. That was him just trying to speak. Was that your workout for the day?
Phil
He's tight. Yes. Every other country has lovely first classes. Ours is a joke.
Dan
More like first asses.
Phil
Yeah. For 100 extra pounds, I want to be greeted by a butler. Get a foot massage, get a little snacky.
Dan
Yeah.
Phil
Get a little hot towel.
Dan
Oh, yeah.
Phil
This was horrible.
Dan
A smack in the face.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Probably gonna get rain rot from touching that seat.
Phil
I got it back up. Yeah. Anyway, what did we do in Brighton?
Dan
We all wore matching fleeces accidentally.
Phil
Fleece squad.
Dan
How embarrassing. Fleece gang.
Phil
Do you know how many compliments we got though?
Dan
Yeah, four. People kept being like, look at you. Crazy people getting fleeced. Although, Phil, when you left the house, you were wearing your cloud fleece and you go, it's a bit loud, isn't it?
Phil
Again, what I noticed is every other person in London is wearing black. Come on, London.
Dan
Whereas you go to Brighton, you're the least interesting fucking twink there.
Phil
Yeah, everyone's hot.
Dan
Do you have any idea how many art students there are?
Phil
Great. I think I belong there. I should move to Brighton. Where's some colour? Yeah, I'd live in Brighton by the sea. It's where our only friend lives.
Dan
Only friends. We have a history of recreating a boomerang that we did 10 years ago,
Phil
back when a boomerang was a thing. I didn't know you could still make one.
Dan
Haven't flashed my cock with a boomerang. If you did, that'd be a lot. It would just be going back and forth.
Phil
That's a horrible mental image.
Dan
How many people have sent dick pics with boomerangs?
Phil
I don't know.
Dan
I've sent millions probably.
Phil
Surely a lot.
Dan
Yeah.
Phil
Do you know on Instagram now, if you. Or is it imessage if you take a dick pic, it goes. Hey, Whoa. Are you sure you wanna send.
Dan
I think you have to opt into that feature.
Phil
Oh, do you?
Dan
Yeah. I checked my settings and I was like, Apple, don't consider my.
Phil
Why were you checking the setting of it?
Dan
I was honestly just making sure I was good to go to God. Innocently. I don't know why I was in those settings. Oh, look, it's the nudes reviewing setting story.
Phil
It's weird that Apple is just watching everyone's penises, though. Just like, what's going on?
Dan
More like Tim Cock.
Sponsor/Advertiser
Oh.
Phil
So we repeated the boomerang with PJ and Sophie and we also discovered a new trendy food, the frumpit.
Dan
What'd you call me? You're a frumpet with a ph. You're a. Guess what? It's a French toast crumpet.
Phil
You're a warm frumpet.
Dan
So they take a crumpet, which, to the American mind, what is a crumpet like? To us, a biscuit is like a cookie.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
And a muffin is a fluffy baked good.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
And a crumpet is a weird, freaky, little chewy, spongy thing with holes in it.
Phil
It looks like it grows in the sea.
Dan
For slapping butter on and letting it soak in.
Phil
Just a whole slob of butter.
Dan
Exactly. I'm just a whole Sir.
Phil
Yes. Well, they've battered that in egg and stacked it.
Dan
Crazy motherfuckers.
Phil
It was great. I would recommend the frumping.
Dan
What other things should be frumped? Ooh. I guess just fr. Dan and Phil. Fran and Phil.
Phil
I don't want to be frumped.
Dan
The egg batter. Ah.
Phil
Do you know what you could French toast?
Dan
What? The patriarchy. Oh, no. It's like A good thing that you want to eat, isn't it, Dick?
Phil
Sorry. Stop it. You said hog dick, cock schlong today. What would your grandma say?
Dan
And I'm Davis.
Phil
That's who you were sending your extra pictures to.
Dan
Oh, this apple setting better be off because I need to send him all of it.
Phil
Right, Dan, you're saying penis too much. I'm gonna return.
Dan
Oh, shit. Oh, she's looking empty.
Phil
She is empty. But thankfully, you guys on Patreon have submitted things, and now we are ready to refill. Richard, we have filled your balls.
Dan
Do you think I'm funny? Do you think it's funny?
Phil
New balls?
Dan
I don't want to see that.
Phil
For the listeners. Listen, the listeners, they're jostling.
Dan
Did you hear all of those fresh balls?
Phil
They're overflowing.
Dan
Phil, you're dropping the balls everywhere. You've dropped two balls on the floor.
Phil
If you write one of those, it's lost forever. Okay, I'll find it. Richard is about to get filled up.
Dan
Absolutely stuffed. Frumped, if you will. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Fell, fell, fell. Ball down. Sorry.
Phil
Ball down.
Dan
Oh, my God. Two balls down. Oh, my God. It's cracked and split.
Phil
It's cracked and split.
Dan
Right. Give me Richard's hat. Richard's been scalped.
Phil
There we go.
Dan
Thank you.
Phil
Are you ready? This is a monumentous moment.
Dan
Oh, yeah.
Phil
There's almost too many.
Dan
Do we have mubbles?
Phil
No.
Dan
Phil added another year to the likelihood of the golden ball dropping with that.
Phil
There we go. There we go.
Dan
Why? Why are you forsaking me? Oh, here we go. A whole new ball.
Phil
It's a pink ball.
Dan
Thanks.
Phil
And today's topic is the Post Office.
Dan
A cursed place. A chaotic place.
Phil
It's an unusual place, a marvelous, miraculous place. There's so much going on in the UK Post Office. Whenever you walk in. Fucking chaos.
Dan
Chaos.
Phil
I didn't know there were so many options.
Dan
I'm scared. Usually I'm there because I just have to drop off a package that I'm sending someone. Yeah, no fucking shit, Dan. Why else would you be there, Idiot. Why did I even say that?
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
And yet I just feel like last time I went.
Phil
I put it in the wrong hole. She was, like I said, is.
Dan
She was the girl in Prague.
Phil
I said, where do I put my package? She said, over there, love. And then I put it in there. And she went, not that hole. I don't know what I put it into. Why is there a hole if we're not meant to use it?
Dan
Am I right? Ladies. Yeah, but for real, there's a lot going on in the post office.
Phil
You gotta weigh things.
Dan
You gotta fuckin. They're like, how much does this letter weigh? I don't know. Can't you help? I'm stressed.
Phil
When was the last time you sent a postcard?
Dan
A postcard?
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
I don't know if I've ever sent a postcard.
Phil
What? I used to send them to all my friends when I went on holiday.
Dan
You fucking nerd.
Phil
Ooh, that's fun.
Dan
And did any of them reply to your insta.
Phil
That's why.
Dan
Yeah, well, your nine year old friend Jeremy couldn't suddenly be in Florida, could he?
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Why would you even send him that? Just to make him feel like shit.
Phil
There was a rumor going around my street that the postman was sleeping with various wives. He was hot. He was a hot sexy man.
Dan
So was it like community fan fiction?
Phil
Unload your package.
Dan
Oh, God. Oh, dear. Gary, don't dox the Lancaster mailman.
Phil
Posterson.
Dan
Gary Posterson with his big box now.
Phil
You'd think it'd be the window cleaner. That's kind of more of the stereotypical housewife grammar.
Dan
How often do people get their windows cleaned? Like the postman is there across the country. Post person.
Phil
Phil, this was a post.
Dan
Can we objectify all genders?
Phil
This was a post man and a host.
Dan
The Post. They could come.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
And they might be your non binary parents.
Phil
All I'm saying is many children were born on that street. And they were all ginger.
Dan
Your brother's ginger.
Phil
Oh, my God.
Dan
Okay, Martin, if you're listening, I'm sorry, but like an instant. We can't remove things from the podcast. We're just gonna live with the allegations there.
Phil
It wouldn't surprise me that we do not look alike.
Dan
You do not look anything like your brother. No. And you have nothing in common.
Phil
No.
Dan
Phil's brother was the head boy. He was a talented skateboarder.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Most popular guy in school. He's really fit and healthy.
Phil
What are you doing here?
Dan
He has like, he runs a business and I'm David.
Phil
I get it. Yeah. He's the postman's. I'm not.
Dan
It's like when the twin eats the other twin in the womb.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Except I guess he just got like all of the good stuff from both parents and left you with like, you
Phil
say I was in the womb for five years before I popped out.
Dan
You definitely had like the leftover placenta.
Phil
Because I'm that lazy.
Dan
Yeah.
Phil
It's weird though that you can just put something in the post and it arrives the next day.
Dan
That's fucking crazy, bro. Yeah. Sometimes I do have moments where I just appreciate life.
Phil
Yeah, well done.
Dan
Who are we to just accept that society functions around us? People are doing that, Phil.
Phil
What a system.
Dan
Someone invented the postal service. Yeah. And people are doing that service.
Phil
Carrier pigeon.
Dan
Performative Clap for post people.
Phil
Yes. Thank you, post people. Pay them better. Do you know who else we appreciate you guys in the audience who are sending in some beautiful hard launches. If you want to join the crew, all you need to do is email hardlaunchpodcastmail.com with a very quick and to the point hard launch.
Dan
Drag them, Phil.
Phil
I'm not dragging them.
Dan
Phil said, shut the fuck up and get to the point.
Phil
We did get one that was five minutes long, apparently.
Dan
Hey, so, Dan and Phil, what was I gonna say the other day?
Phil
Here's our first friend.
Dan
Hi, Dan and Phil. I'm Alice, I live in North London, and I would like to hard lunch that today I adopted a fucking cat and her name is box of Tissues. The cat, not the girlfriend.
Phil
Bye. I love that.
Dan
Another Dan and Phil moment. I was like, yeah, you got a trans girlfriend called Boxer Tissues.
Phil
Excellent.
Dan
The cat.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
Again, pet play. No. You adopted box of tissues.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
No, you didn't adopt a box of. You adopted box of tissues.
Phil
Yes.
Dan
Yeah. Don't buy secondhand boxes of tissues. Okay.
Phil
No.
Dan
Adopt, don't shop. Apart from when it comes to tissues, please shop.
Phil
Buy your tissues.
Dan
Good luck with your cat. It sounds like you're gonna have a nice life.
Phil
And the biggest fact about us is we love cats. Next.
Dan
Hi, Dan and Phil. Hi, I'm Nastasia from London and my
Phil
mother Stephanie has a message.
Dan
Uh.
Phil
Oh, hi, Dan and Howell. I heard that you don't go out clubbing enough.
Dan
You'd like to drink some alcohol, you'd
Phil
like to do some dancing. Would you like to come to a heated rivalry club night with me?
Dan
We could dress up as land leopards.
Phil
Leopard, complete with whiskers. Bye. Okay, thanks. Please say yes. She's very lonely. Lonely woman. Love you guys. We got a cougar in our midst.
Dan
A cougar and a leopard, apparently.
Phil
Do you want to get your Hudson Williams on Land Leopard?
Dan
I'm the bland leopard.
Phil
Yes, I'm Land Leopard.
Dan
Still fight crime? You know, I'm working at it, actually. Working on my athleticism online. You can follow me. Land Leopard 43. Land Leopard was taken. That's a suggestion right there. Am I allowed to say no to that?
Phil
I think it'd suit You. I think you need to go to the party.
Dan
Horny fillers not on fire. That's what that is.
Phil
Yeah.
Dan
Land leopard.
Phil
How are we gonna pre game? Why wasn't I invited, by the way?
Dan
You can come.
Phil
Should we get our hockey sticks out on instance? Yes.
Dan
Be careful.
Phil
Be careful.
Dan
Your mum sounds like she's having a great time.
Phil
Yeah. We're coming to the club.
Dan
We're going to the club next. Hi, I'm Laura. I'm from Essex and I'm hard launching. As much as I respect the Alphabet and every single letter is incredible, Q should not be where it is. Q should be at the back of the Alphabet with all the doth letters with X, y and Z.
Phil
That is so true.
Dan
Yeah. I can't describe it any other way. That is the most correct opinion I've ever heard in my life.
Phil
Q does not belong in the middle.
Dan
Wxyz. Q. What are you doing there? L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S. These are normal things. They're normal ones. If you're near P. P is the most boring normie letter ever. Yeah, like, imagine being called Quentin and then like, p. What the fuck?
Phil
Queef. Do you know, I feel like.
Dan
Did you pick up that I was roasting you there? No. You're called Phil.
Phil
Hey.
Dan
Yeah. Okay.
Phil
I didn't get that. I was just waiting to say queef. Do you know, I think that M is quite a goth letter.
Dan
M looks goth, but I think that W is goth. M is like the normie office worker version of it.
Phil
W is the wario of the M. But what if they're around Wicked witch. What if they were next to each other? I don't remember that. That's an old reference. Didn't stand the test of time, did it?
Dan
That died fast.
Phil
No, no.
Dan
People aren't gonna be remembering that in three years.
Phil
But if they were next to each other in the Alphabet, I think that would make more sense. And the D and the P could go together as well because they are the reflection of each other.
Dan
Like us, we're holding space. There's room between D and P. Dan
Phil
and Phil, destined to be together. Cause you're the D. You're the P. Flip them around.
Dan
Yin and yang.
Phil
Wicked witch.
Dan
Wait, how do we. Wait, how do I. Oh, don't make
Phil
me do things with my fingers.
Dan
No, do. Hey, wait. Hey.
Phil
I did it first. Is that 69? We did it wrong.
Dan
Looks like 69.
Phil
Should we go?
Dan
Yeah, I think so.
Phil
Okay. Thanks for joining us. If you want more of this, we're gonna be on Patreon where we're gonna
Dan
be discussing what's worse. This is gonna keep going.
Phil
I don't know how this is gonna get worse.
Dan
Four minutes of today.
Phil
Well, don't miss out if you Wanna join in. Patreon.com Dan and Phil, it's a great party time.
Dan
Thank you. We appreciate you supporting us because no one wants to advertise against the cheese uncensored.
Phil
Dan and Phil except for maybe the
Dan
cheese costume, which was still heavily censored.
Phil
The folge stays in your censored.
Dan
Well, speaking of that, I hope you get through the week. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you next Monday.
Phil
Bye.

In this playful, overshare-heavy episode, Dan and Phil dive into the perils of social media’s latest features, including a near-nude mishap with Instagram’s “Instants.” The duo also riff on garden shows, weird train experiences, odd UK news, audience launches, and the existential weirdness of post offices and letters. True to their unfiltered style, the episode blends anxiety, self-deprecating humor, LGBTQ+ banter, and cultural references.
[00:57 – 04:19]
Memorable quote:
“What’s worse than your moist, damp nudity is posting an instant and no one gives a fuck.”

Social anxiety encapsulation:
“I can’t be the only one… your hair just doesn’t work and you’re just going, ‘I look fucking stupid.’” — Dan ([08:40])
On social faux pas:
“What’s worse than your moist, damp nudity is posting an instant and no one gives a fuck.” — Dan ([03:55])
About competitive gardening:
“It’s just fucking cool to see the best gardeners in the world kicking their pussies all the way up the wall.” — Dan ([06:29])
Cheese suit sponsorship woes:
“Do you want to be associated with cheese and ham?” — Dan ([11:59])
Tech paranoia:
“It’s weird that Apple is just watching everyone’s penises.” — Phil ([24:56])
Train dissatisfaction:
“More like first asses.” — Dan ([23:20])
London vs. Brighton fashion:
“You go to Brighton, you’re the least interesting twink there.” — Dan ([24:01])
Chaotic, confessional, unapologetically queer, and filled with self-deprecating humor and cultural references. Dan and Phil veer from anxious oversharing to wild storytelling, all while maintaining an irreverent but ultimately warm rapport.
