DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[Shocked and Horrified]

Phail claims they have "tons of equity" in the house. I doubt he's paid very much on the principal of the mortgage. He strikes me as an interest-only person.

He's probably referring to the increased value of the home due to all the chongers buying up real estate in the past 10-20 years.

The value has gone up since he's bought it, like at least 100~150k I think. That's only really going off of Zillow though and other online listings which can be inflated. So even though he probably hasn't paid that much off of his original loan, he has equity in the cahndo. However, to actually get refinancing the bank is gonna wanna do an appraisal and they're gonna see that all the work it needs.

What Phil basically wants is a home equity loan, since his goal with a refinancing is just to essentially pocket the difference between his original loan and the refinanced loan so that he can spend it on WWE champions pulls and door dash. Phil is the ultimate consoomer. He never gets enough and will always plunge himself into debt while telling himself that he's being financially savvy.

He might try to fix the snort fort for a refinance. He has been talking for ages to do a refinance of his condo. Considering what he has publicly claimed on stream his condo is on the verghe of falling apart (to puit it a bit extreme). A refinance does require a personal inspection right? So I guess he wants to somehow present a "functioning" condo. Or Khet has been complaing that all the money goes to bills (WWEC) and nothing for their life (except doordash I guess)

Also where would he move to? And considering his loot goblin mentality he would need a place that at the very least has some storage capacity.. Just think to the day he finally croacks: you could make a huge sale "Auctioning of DSP belongings. This is the coffee maker he used to make Cup Noodles" or something like that. If he still has the couch you could make a "This is the couch DSP sat on when the camera was on"

There is zero chance Phil would actually try to fix the place himself, he's a retard that couldn't even screw a fucking coat rack into the wall. He literally ripped the damn smoke alarm out of his office ceiling and Kat somehow ripped a chandelier out of the kitchen ceiling.

His house has doubled in value on paper. The gout repairs lower the actual value

He also put Velcro on the walls because he refused to use nails or monkey hooks because they would “put holes in the wall”

Read like 2 pages of theories that need to keep 1 thing in mind... Phil lies just to lie. He lies by exaggerating, he lies by omission, he lies just because the truth sounds dumb and makes up a lie, that in turn actually is dumber than the truth. If Phil told me it was Monday, December 1st and 12pm, I'd double check because I don't believe him about even things that can be proven wrong.

There are lots of tells about things though, because Phil is a creature of habit:

• Jasper is only on screen at most 4 days a week, and we know Phil doesn't kick him out until Kat is home, so at most she works 3-4 days a week. Or for all we know, drives around in circles for 4 hours 4 days a week and comes home at 2pm, because retail employees who work barely any hours always get day shifts and somehow no weekends or nights.
• Phil loves to say "no exaggeration" then proceed to exaggerate, which tells me that if he says something is X important, it's probably not even a third as important as he says. He calls getting gas, groceries, and pet supplies appointments. He exaggerates distances, how long it takes to do things, or how hard something is to do. And most of all, he exaggerates money, either too low (spending, how much he makes) or too high (how much he pays in taxes, how much X service takes from him, how much money he needs to do something).
• Lying about your house falling apart seems like a dumb lie, as it makes him not look like an adult. However, I suspect that things are broken but easy fixes that he ignores. Like the shower as somebody said, and even the toilet is probably fixing the valve chain or something stupid. I also suspect whenever he acts like something breaks out of nowhere, that's a lie. They're probably too stupid to realize that you can't throw 4 comforters in a washing machine at once since that'll fuck up the drum, and you obviously can't do that to a dryer because if something can't move, it can't dry. Then again, these 2 are morons, and given most other circumstances, would be fucked.

Also I'm just tired of the OIC/sock/etc discussions. Unless you can prove a name belongs to a particular person, it's meaningless. Phil is propped up by no more than 10 people, period. That makes him a failure and a wage slave to the whims of a small group.

 

[DerichLovesSSI]

Alotta peepul saying that Phil can’t renovate his house.

*click*

*click click*

WRONG!
Just last month he installed a bunch of Elgato wall panels and chat only had to help him a few times. Sound good?

 

[Dave's Mailman]

@9:31 "It's very valueful" thank you, Dave. Very robust and flavorful commentary.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

@9:31 "It's very valueful" thank you, Dave. Very robust and flavorful commentary.

Still doesn't hold a candle to that one time he ate spicy tuna sushi and used the phrases "fishy tuna flavor of the tuna fish", "refreshingness," "burningness" and the godlike phrase that is "timed release of flavors."

 

[Kier Starmer]

The problem with refinancing is the bank will want a consistent income and banks are very squiffy about mortgages currently. On the bankruptcy filing he had paid off 14k of the condo. His mortgage costs will rocket up too. Refinancing is probably one of the dumbest things he could do as it will put him in a huge hole. I used to be team refinance and have stated prior but I cannot see how he will get it easily.

 

[The Penultimate Warrior]

I doubt his thinking for refinancing stretches any further than "get free money, spend money, get it written off in a second bankruptcy"

 

[Malakim Phoros]

holy shit the review rant hes doing today is so good. You cant trust any review if they didnt buy the game themselves since no one would give a negative review for a free item. I know its true you need to be critical of reviews and use your judgement on if you trust it but god damn hes but hurt he doesnt get early review copies

 

[LilCalcium]

Guy who lies to his audience for money is incredibly mad at reviewers for lying to their audience for money.

This passive-aggressive deference that DSP has towards game journalists and game reviews is so odd. Who pays any attention to game reviews today? Who gives a fuck what they think? Phil is perpetually stuck in 2004. When Game Informer was considered Masoretic Text.

I think you can put him around 2010. His pop culture knowledge of music & TV stops around that time, and technology as well (other than Doordash and delivery services).

I would suggest that he doesn't even think as far as second bankrupcy. He is too retarded and lazy for that. He doesn't plan ahead more than a few days, tops.

The guy doesn't have to think ahead. He spends money as it comes in. If he needs more then he begs, and his dented whales swoop in to save the day. I remember five years ago there was an $1800 mysterious begathon. We raised the money, and then it was memory holed. Only a few months later during the bankruptcy saga, he casually mentioned he had 'forgotten' to pay his mortgage and that's why he raised the money.

DSP is the definition of learned helplessness. From his parents, to YouTube, and his whales, he is always getting bailed out. That's why he acts like a nine year old in a game store with his money.

.. Phil lies just to lie. He lies by exaggerating, he lies by omission, he lies just because the truth sounds dumb and makes up a lie, that in turn actually is dumber than the truth.

All true and probably the most likely scenario, yet one thing that makes me think his house is actually real fucked up:

Several of the people he interacted with during the "King Arc" recommended he contact Mike Clum again to do the IRL documentary. This hype/attention would be a boon for Piggy's dwindling bottom-line and a P.R. move to attempt to humanize him beyond a begging floating torso in a closet, but he's continuing not to follow up or reach out to anyone else for an IRL doc. His past excuse of "trolls will see my expensive coffee maker and make a big stink about it" doesn't apply anymore because he admitted to being a modern era gacha whale, and we already know Kat is fat. And it's not like Mike Clum is going to film rifling through his desk drawers to find his banking passwords; any legally sensitive info would be edited out.

A likely reason is that his condo is all fucked up. Boogie's doc was filmed all around his house, and (iirc) besides all the tacky gamer shit cluttered all over, it was nice; we even saw his functioning bathroom in the infamous opening scene where he brandished his quad-gunt. There was no damp moldy drywall, falling light fixtures, cat piss stains, empty door dash containers and booze bottles stacked to the ceiling, or broken appliances. Maybe another reason to avoid a IRL doc could be that Kat gained even more weight. I dunno, doing a doc with some milquetoast Marketing dingus like Mike Clum seems more conservative than diving head first into the "shark pool" with Kino Casino and possibly Metokur (DSP wanted to but Jim said he was too sick), but DSP oddly skipped right over it.

While I agree with you about the state of the condo, I don't think it had anything to do with Clum. Clum committed two cardinal sins in Phil's mind. The first was not kissing Phil's ass enough, the second was communicating with detractors. Phil is too stupid to realize when KC crew is mocking him and took the ass kissing as genuine, but if they ever had like, Doody or someone on and gave him a fair shake, or even just started reading from his thread here, that would be the end of their relationship.

The reason I don't think the state of Phil's condo played a role is because of Phil's hermit status. He's so isolated from what is normal, I'm not sure he realizes how bad his condo is. What does he have to compare it to? The last time he spent time in someone else's home was probably his CT trip. I think Phil is still genuinely proud of his condo because he always talks about it like it's a unique thing and can't fathom the fact that the majority of detractors, and hell, even some of his dents are all homeowners as well. He does the same thing with his marriage, talking like nobody else could possibly fathom what it's like to have a wife.

Just to throw a wrench in this theory, but DSP did say last week that him and Khet watch HGTV a LOT. So I guess it would be those shitty home improvement shows where they show houses is shit status like DSPs then show it fixed witha. Price tag on the fix (which may be where he gets those 50k thoughts from)
