his podcast streams are his grand finale of begging, where he goes to no end reading off his woe is me crafted stories to squeeze whatever he can out of whoever.
the fact that he is just nonchalantly talking about skipping it is very odd and i think it may be one of two things.
1. the holiday gaming marathon failure hit him and as we saw he couldn't deflect or change the narrative so his ego had to take the reality that no one found his shit entertaining and not even the exceptional individuals are pity baited by his cries for help. phil is terrified of that happening again and his ego being crushed even worse. it's like in fighting games where he just avoids multiplayer because he literally cannot take losing. if this is the case he is either blatantly lying about the money he needed or he and kat thought up a new plan for the future and something drastic will happen.
2. phil is going to do it no matter what but is just pushing every inch of wahh feel bad for me and also wants people to reply "hey what about the podcast i was really looking forward to it!!" because hes that much of a teenage girl. I can already hear it tomorrow
*unmutes mic* *speaks from the back of his throat in the roughest way he can* "well hello everyone, after much debate i decided to just say what the hell i cant miss this. i mean after seeing OVERWHELMING support and interest and people saying phil cmon phil every year you do the podcast you cant miss this year i said what the hell lets give it a try"
I like both but
Option 3: One of his pay pigs ate up the depression woe is me mah poor throat bullshit hook, line and sinker and sent him like $2000 tip via paypal on x-mas eve. I always say, he always starts to skip streams, show up late, act egotistical when he is over fed. you over feed the pig and he gets fat and lazy. i wouldnt bne surprised at all if he got a big x-mas tip that needs ot stay "behind the scenes" so trolls dont attack the donator. its hard to explain why else he would skip huge begging streams (other than option 1 and 2 abovve which are also very good theories). of course its also possible he is lying that he needs money that bad and he wanted it for a big x-mas gift for kat or a ring or a vacation and kat told him dont worry about getting it this year so he no longer is worried a bout it.
or going back to dsp needing the 16k to pay off kats debt so they can get married theory. maybe she told him she thinks they should wait to get engaged and married for a while regardless so he no longer desperately needs the money to pay her debts. maybe she broke this delay of the marriage news to him in the middle of the drinking stream which is why he came back so depressed and upset and then lost all interest in begging for money the next several days.
i'm willing to bet phil's untimely absence in due to khet drama, which i'll broadly call option 4.
on option 1: i can't imagine him having the shame to be depressed out of streaming altogether due to lack of support. he knows how to ham it up and complain about lack of support in previous streams and guilt his piggies into coughing up their lunch money. a slow stream wouldnt make him give up doing the rest of his christmas stuff altogether.
on option 2: i dont think phil is dumb enough to try this. he's also not very good at changing his mind.
on option 3: maybe, then he lies about being sick? i guess. that would be the best way to play hooky he has. or, relatedly, maybe he always planned to bail on the holiday streams because he's been doing so well lately financially.
option 4: kat put the foot down and said "nigger if you think you're sitting on the couch begging for money this christmas while i sit in my room alone and play overwatch then you're sorely mistaken. i've abandoned my family a year ago for the gout palace and if you can't give me at least some of your time for christmas this year then i'm done." or some kind of ultimatum like that. i can't imagine what else would cause him to bail on what has historically been his most important streams of the year.
