Graduating with honors from a college isnt super impressive.

Usually it just requires keeping a minimum GPA (which can be as low as a 3.0) and completing a few honors style courses. Which don't automatically make them more work than the normal version.

In fact, some schools can automatically enroll you in an honors track when you apply. At least for my university there were multiple more specific tracks bases on department that were more prestigious and selective than 'honors'.

Valedictorian for high school I find much harder to believe. There would almost surely be a record of it.

I cannot imagine Phil being best of class at any subject let alone valedictorian, that claim is either fake, a phil-truth or the American school system in Connecticut is truly bankrupt.

I would argue that the American school system in general is bankrupt. But of all the states, Connecticut ranks #4 in the best states for education. CT is one of the richest states, and plenty of money goes towards the constant improvement of education. However, these resources are not always spread evenly, and some schools have fallen behind.

So someone posted this article back on page 429. If we can get proof of what school Phil went to and what year he graduated then this debunks his bullshit yet again. https://www.fairfield.edu/lassochannel/press/pr_index//index.lasso?id=1119

On the same page, it's mentioned that Phil graduated from Bassick High School in Brideport, which has a reputation for being a complete shithole and is quite possibly the worst high school in the state.

I found an article about Bassick High School entitled "Connecticut's Shame: In One of America's Richest Counties, a High School Has Been Failing for 50 Years".

A 1961 quote from the now defunct Bridgeport Sunday Herald mentions the "sharp contrast between private opulence and public squalor" that existed in Bridgeport half a century ago and continues today. For many years, students of Bassick were forced to buy their own books, science equipment, globes, and maps. Since Americans are entitled to free K-12 public education, these costs are not typical.

In 50 years, things have only gone downhill for Bassick. Teachers are still not given the resources to do their job properly. In America, we have the controversial Common Core standards for language and mathematics. In 2015, 15% of Bassick's students reached proficiency in language, while zero reached mathematics proficiency. In 2013, the advocacy group ConnCan gave Bassick an F in all academic categories.

Bassick is also an incredibly violent environment. Recently, ten students were arrested in one day for fighting. Bridgeport in consistently labeled one of the most dangerous cities in America due to the frequency of violent crimes.

We've established that Phail was not valedictorian at Fairfield University. But what about Bassick? Like those Kiwis who've researched before me, I was unable to pull up any listing of Bassick valedictorians.

If one were to find the information, it would likely be found in back issues of The Connecticut Post. The online archives of the paper only date back to 2001, as indicated by the website's search engine:

http://www.ctpost.com/archives/

A particularly ambitious Kiwi would have to go into the city, head to a library, and view the pertinent microfilm to either confirm or deny Phail's claim of being a Bassick valedictorian, which we've established is not an impressive feat.

Well we need to know the year he graduated. I assume that Phil was not the valedictorian therefore wherever we look we won't find his name. Does anyone know what year he graduated High School?
At least that's a good reference point.

From "The King of Swing" to "The King Of Hate" to "The King of Weight" to "The King of Begging" and finally "The King of Jerking"

Well his swingin' days were over after he injured his back. He....he never swung again.

A reunion party in February for almost a decade full of classes, across the fucking country from the area...

A week long party at that.

That is 1,000,000% a troll that made that. God fucking bless him.

Excuse me? The King of Swing never misses an opportunity for a good party.

Excluding his parents, the single being he's even allowing the privilege of looking in the direction of at that house is the one agreeing to clean up after him and consensualy engage in underwear time.

Phil may never realize how truly lucky he was.
That being said, if he found a replacement so quickly maybe these women are out there after all?

Phil’s latest rant about Rambo and Howard was more proof that he cannot stand the fact that they were able to tell their story and then *gasp* move on with their lives. He even said “they were able to air their laundry and make me look bad and now nobody bothers them anymore about me!”

He gets so triggered when he knows that people are able to just tune him out. I’m sure that people tell Rambo and Howard what Phil says, I just imagine them laughing because Phil is just proving their point. It’s amazing that an hour long podcast has caused him over 3 years of anger.

It’s like someone who protests too much. Selfishly, I want Leanna to share her side of the story, but for the drama I just want her to continue ignoring him. Him trying to provoke fights is so much funnier than any actual feuds he has where he shuts up and hides.
 
I wonder if Howard and Rambo have been informed about Phil's latest rant, and hopefully they'd provide some factual evidence to expose DSP....

Though of course Phil will deny everything and say those are fabricated evidence to defame him, he's such a pathological liar and shameless pig
 
Nah, Howard and Rambo are probably happy not being part of Phil's begging circus. Same with Leanna. She could do a tell-all podcast or whatever, massively raise her profile, probably make a few shekels from it too. But then she'd have to lower herself into the toxic atmosphere that Phil craves. Phil would fucking love it if she put him on blast, which is why she shouldn't rise to it. Getting in a slapfight with Phil benefits no one, because it's not like Phil's gonna realise the error of his ways.

Phil knows he can keep poking people, like Rambo, Howard, Leanna, Pewdiepie, even his fucking parents on occasion, because it's the only thing that keeps people coming back for his awful content, which is 90% begging and 10% sitting in a bush in PUBG.
 
Boy i sure love when the streamers i watch stop all gameplay to talk about events that happened 5+ years ago...

In the other hand, with this and the Adsense nonsense, what's exactly on Phil's mind? He is talking about old controversies waaaay too much lately.

It's almost like he knows there is no drama around him and that's the only source of income he has.
