DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: The Side Scrollers Podcast Week of March 13th

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
Its kind of wild when Phil's weirdo hermit lifestyle stops just long enough for him to get any social interaction and the natural human desire for companionship comes to the fore.

Like the man is so desperate to have friends but can't acquire them due to being a miserable cunt and complete recluse.

He got the barest taste of interacting with real humans and even if they were shitting on him it was probably wonderful. And now they want nothing to do with him.

The social isolation is only going to set in worse.
 
You know how Phil is always yelling at his empty chat because no one is talking to him? Well tonight, he yelled at chat because they were talking to him too much.

Now you may have noticed that Phil changed his attitude halfway through lecturing his chat there, it's because he saw this

After the stream ended, he went on a lying cope rant.

"I had to turn comments off because of my trolls. Youtube deleted your comment its not my fault. I even approve comments that criticise me. The SideScrollers have moved on, uhh I wouldnt know I dont pay attention"

EDIT: I went through the comments on that video, and these are the only ones from this account that I found.

And if you were wondering, yeah it's actually him. This screenshot is from the SideScrollers live chat

Yeah that's actually Trav from Side Scrollers he was in a few Detractor streams after Phil's "interview". Phil just doesn't want to admit to deleting/censored Travis' comments.
 
I actually buy that Phil doesn't know shit about his finances and he's panicking because he's being called out on not being an adult. We know he just hires a tax guy from the bank leaks. Tax guy probably asks for everything, Phil hands it over and just makes minimum payments on whatever downpayment plan he's on. It also shows that, he really does live paycheck to paycheck and is completely incapable of planning for anything. Even the bills Phil pays daily I bet he gets surprised by because he just doesn't retain information. And we've seen him get caught off guard by reoccurring payments before with Origin and I think some other gaming service. He probably just automates as much as possible and only worry about the other payments when they're right around the corner, then fail to retain anything about how much he typically owes.
Phil admitted to always paying the minimum on his credit cards and everything and didn't understand why he should pay more. He's really just the definition of a braindead consumer, and he probably adopted that mentality from his mother.

Fucking hell man how is it possible to have this little self awareness. So Trav comes to watch your stream just like you ask and it's of course in the middle of a toxic rant, then you prevent him from commenting on videos. And he still thinks they don't like him because of detractors and not because they watched you. King of shooting yourself in the foot.
 
It seems to me that Phil plays dumb about not knowing anything about his taxes or business expenses, and uses his tax guy as a shield. He says he doesn't know anything about his business expenses after 15 years of doing this, but also says that he's working on his taxes and has every expense listed in an excel spreadsheet.

I don't know anything about this stuff, and this is completely speculative, but to me it seems likely that Phil claimed his mortgage as a business expense, knows that this is illegal and that he should not have done this, and feigns ignorance of his business expenses and puts it all on his tax guy as a way to weasel out of it.
I don't think he committed this awful of perjury on his bankruptcy forms or taxes. The tax guy would have caught on, and this interview does confirm that DSP is a retard when it comes to finances and saving money. DSP literally doesn't know how to pay taxes and needs a guy to do it for him. This tax guy would not risk his own career unless he was as inept as Phil, and while Phil is probably going to be bankrupt again, that will never be the fault of the guy who just puts together the information on what Phil owes and needs to pay.

DSP was just throwing random shit out there for what his business expenses could be. You can see the gears turning in his head in that moment and that was just one of a few things he tossed out as a speculative answer. Once he got mad at the SS guys, he started lashing out and acting like the 5k is a hoax number, because he doesn't actually know what could be considered. Realistically speaking it's possible he is claiming the gacha spending, but it is far more likely he basically just threw a number in or one of his lawyers made it up for him based on what information they were given. Putting your mortgage as an expense would never have passed even the Coof Court he got, the no pet ownership but pet supplies could because it was so insignificant no one at that time bothered to look twice.
He got the barest taste of interacting with real humans and even if they were shitting on him it was probably wonderful. And now they want nothing to do with him.

I look forward to this new arc of Phil's increasing insanity. Dude already gets spooked at cars driving by his home and yells at delivery drivers on text messages.

Yeah and it's the one dude at the start, who was skeptical of all the information handed out and giving him the benefit of doubt.

Like the one dude who was on your side and Phil just hung himself. But I guess when the cats out of the bag, the magic trick is figured out, and people see through your shit, you can keep the mask off.

I figured I'd wade into this discussion to bring up that back when the bankruptcy proceedings were ongoing, once it came out what Phil was claiming his income was on his bankruptcy forms, there was sudden, similar speculation at the time as to whether Phil has been lying to the IRS about his income as well. IIRC, @actually -- who was, similarly to PieceOfPeace now, keeping track of Phil's income to the best of his ability -- brought up that the few times Phil dropped a total amount (not to be confused with individual beg-a-thon goals) he was paying for his taxes, it lined up pretty closely with what we he and others had determined was his actual income. Adding on the fact that Phil had indicated he had a "tax guy" do this stuff for him, and the tentative conclusion he reached (and that I personally think is still the most likely scenario) was that Phil was lying to the bankruptcy judge but probably not to the IRS.

I mostly agree with this reasoning, but there's one thing that I can't fit into this framework:

Rochelle probably can't and won't knowingly lie for Phil and she would've wanted to see some documents. I can't imagine that she would've asked someone financially illiterate like Phil to just fill in random numbers for 6 months back of business expenses.

Also, during the interview and the decompression streams afterwards Phil seemed very confused and referred to the $5k expenses figure as "from my tax returns or something like that!?" (can't be arsed to find a clip right now). I guess it is possible that he's just playing 4D chess, but it makes a lot of sense to me that he just handed over all his documents to Rochelle and has no clue about the figures.

IIRC,
I think in DSPs mind he isn't lying to the IRS if his CPA, knowing DSPs profession, just assumed reasonably, that all the gaming related transactions were business expenses. Or is it implausible for a CPA to make such an assumption in case of a sole proprietorship? In any case, Phil "didn't do anything wrong" Burnell just doesn't object to this determination. If he's ever audited I assume he would also imagine that he could claim ignorance & stupidity: "I relied on my CPA droooob."

Any discrepancy with amounts during beg events could just be typical DSP exaggeration to squeeze additional money out of dents.
 
I said this before in the main DSP thread, but I don’t believe he has a Tax guy anymore. I believe after the bankruptcy, since he took those mandated finance classes, he just started doing his own taxes with Turbo Tax for small businesses.

Remember when he would take 3 or 4 days off in March and April every year to meet with his “Tax attorney”? He hasn’t done that in a while. Just a stream or 2 to gather his tax dox. I think he’s just doing his taxes during that time and plugging it all into Turbo Tax.

He hasn’t even begged for $1000 to pay his tax guy in years.

If I’m mistaken, sorry I just watch snort burnell, and I just can’t recall a recent time he begged for tax attorny fee money. But when he did it was a month long event.

IIRC, his bank leaks had payments to his tax guy. I do think you're right about him not begging for it specifically anymore, but I think that's just because he's gotten lazier with his begging and doesn't bother trying to justify it anymore. At most, he'll wave around a piece of paper with some vague writing on it, or just ramble about some vague expenses.
 
He does micro-begging or begging in short spurts between streams to mask the fact that he totally doesn't do any large or long running "begathons" anymore, despite the fact that because of his current behaviour, he is begging more now than he ever did previously.
 
Meaningful buzzwords.

Prestream now has extended QnA by an extra 15 minutes today. 45 total if he plans to end on 30 minutes after the hour.



Yeah. Not doing it because of trolls is kinda saying the trolls ruined it already. They just live rent-free in his head 24/7 at this point. He doesn't want to do anything for his retards.

I just want to compliment Phil on his choice of font for the "level 1 podcast", it really compliments his Hitler Youth haircut, very cool.
 
I can't be the only onw who finds it pathetic Phil and Kat allegedly spend their time together watching gameplay on YouTube right? Maybe I'm just touch starved but if I complain all the time about not having enough time to spend with muh waif I would be spending the time we do have together talking, going on a short hike, literally anything but watching someone play games on YouTube. It's probably a total lie but it's just pathetic that he thinks that is a efficient use of his time.

Of course Phil is a total retard managing anything, just look at how awful he is with managing his ammunition in REmake4.

Linda and Dave probably had the same dynamic, just watching QVC instead of vidya playthroughs, so the Pigger probably consdiers it to be normal mature adult behavior.
 
Or if you watch something on youtube watch something funny. Watch some Larry Bundy Jr or some old comedy series because today's comedy suck. Play some board games or heck cook something together (and no I don't mean ordering Doordash slop)
