DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[HerrKlicks]

His absolute idiocy (borderline financial suicide) with trying to KAHMBO-Chain the 0% credit cards is especially hilarious because there is an old CT-era video wherein Dave talks big about how he knows about finance and summises that people racking up credit card debt eventually have that become debt that never goes away...

Sadly I have no idea what kind of video it was he dropped that gem in ("too much raw khante dood!) but it's another example of past Phil setting up future Phil for hilarious fail. (or should that be Phail?)

 

[actually]

@actually

How did Phil do compared to last year? Taking into account his two major whales (E7 and Tut), is his revenues shrinking or growing?

Phil made the claim that while his Youtube and Patreon have shrunk, his Twitch has grown. Is this because of those two whales, or is there really organic growth?

I'm just curious as to his long-range prognosis.

It's honestly hard to say because in 2017 Twitch wasn't his primary focus until the middle of the year. So he made something like $45k-50k on Twitch. This year he made like $85k+ on Twitch from cheers, subs, and tips. In general, he seems to get around $5800 per month from Twitch without any wild things happening. Jan, July, August, September, and of course December 2018 all had whaling or unusual circumstances. Jan was the tail-end of his #SAVEMUHHOUSE begging. July was when he got $200+ in mysterious bot cheers as well as had pity money from Youtube going down. August and September was Tut, and December has been E7. Based on his subcount, he's leveled off on Twitch. When you take away his gifted subs, he usually ends up around 420-470 subs.

So yeah, TL;DR is I'm not sure, but it seems to be basically leveled off.

12/31/18 First Prestream - New Years Eve Podcast Opportunity To Contribute Stream: Darksydephil Has A Thirty Year Mortgage On His Empty Connecticut Condo

Spoiler: Begging

"RIGHT NOW. The absolute BEST WAY you can help me, out of anything, is to TIP ME! All right? The reason being, I didn't work for a week. All right? There was, at least, THREE FULL DAYS of streaming I missed out on. That, I needed that money to PAY MY BILLS! And, this really sucks, because already, I was behind financially. Because, October was my worst streaming month of the year! *SNORT* *LIP SMACK!* And I just got paid for that in December, and I was having trouble making ends meet already. Then, I got sick as a dog! All right? So, this really blows! And I need your help, as much as possible, in the next week! To help pay bills! If you TIP ME, the TIPS I get, IMMEDIATELY! All right? And I can use those to pay bills. So, please, consider TIPPING ME during today's show!"
Explains how to send his sleazy begging ass a tip.
"All right. Please. Consider. Doing It. It helps me out! TREMENDOUSLY! And, right now, I really need the help! Because of everything that's happened recently! All right? Just being honest with you! Uhm. This, this podcast, itself, was supposed to be a show last week, that I was HOPING was gonna, kind of, turn the tides! Maybe raise a lot of funds, and help me out! And then, it didn't happen. And then, mulitple days of streaming didn't happen. So, it's like, I got really screwed over! *THROAT CLEAR*"

"All right. So, overnight, I got a fifty bit cheer from fred_flintstone."
Reads asskissing cheer.
"Well, thank you fred_flintstone for the cheer! Uhm. I mean, things are are good, good NOW. Now that I'm back, I'm still *SNIIIIFFF!* congested as hell! *THROAT CLEAR* Still suffering from this damn cold! Probably going to last a while to totally shake. Uhm. *LIP SMACK!* But at least I'm back, I'm able to talk. You know what I mean? Like, the things that were preventing me from doing MY JOB, are kind of out of there now. Uhm. *LIP SMACK!* But, it is what it is. And, I'm toughing through it now, to be here and to get back on the horse, as they say. Uhm. *LIP SMACK!* So, yeah! Honestly, fred_flintstone, I know you haven't been around in a few weeks, you missed nothing this past week. Because I wasn't streaming. Because I was sick as hell. But, now I'm back."

Spoiler: Darksydephil Loves His Lazy Shut-In Lifestyle

[2018-12-31 11:00:10 PST] silver_tounged_talker: cheer50 Hey there Phil. Do you think that moving to Washington helped with your back I noticed you haven’t mentioned your pain much recently. Happy New Years.

"Uhm. YES! Moving to Washington did help my back. And, here's the reason why: because, unlike when I lived in Connecticut, NUMBER ONE, there's not incredibly cold weather with ICE and SNOW, that I have to deal with. Slipping, or shoveling, or whatever! NUMBER TWO, *THROAT CLEAR* everything here, is close by. I have a grocery store, uh, A BLOCK AWAY. I have, any, any, possible needs- SHOPPING NEEDS, that I could need, to leave the house for, is incredibly close by! I don't have to drive a lot. Which is great! *LIP SMACK* I don't have to go long distances, in a car, to do anything! Uhm. I have a garage! So. When I go grocery shopping, I can just bring the groceries right in, from the car, into the kitchen, and unload them. In Connecticut, it was the OPPOSITE. I had to park in a slippery-ass parking lot and go up a flight of stairs, and walk halfway across the condo facility, in order to bring stuff in! It was, basically, the worst case scenario for my back, in Connecticut, when I lived there. *THROAT CLEAR* Here, it's like, THE BEST CASE SCENARIO for my back! *SNORT* So, *LIP SMACK!* over the past five years that I've lived here, uhm, I guess now it's four and a half years. I have had a really more adjusted lifestyle, to having a weakened back. And, quite frankly, MY BACK HAS STENGTHENED ITSELF! Because, I don't overstrain it, the MUSCLES HAVE GROWN into a position, where they strengthen around. And I actually think, MY HERNIATION, of my disc in my lower back has, you know, BECOME LESS HERNIATED! If not, COMPLETELY STOPPED BEING HERNIATED! Plus, by the way, I lost weight. You know? That should be *THROAT CLEAR* another factor here. *LIP SMACK!* Is that, uhm, you know, I gained weight and then I lost it. So, being that, I'm, you know, uh, not, not, WAY OVERWEIGHT, like I used to be, when I originally got my back injury. Is a HUGE DEAL! When it comes to reducing the problems with my back, so. Yeah! I think that, moving here to Washington has allowed me, to more easily make life changes, to adjust for my back injury, and my back has been feeling great! *THROAT CLEAR* So, There You Go."

Spoiler: Don't Ask DSP Personal Questions

[2018-12-31 11:02:38 PST] android___x: cheer50 for q&a segment: was it scary to have kat move in without getting to see her in person more than a couple times before she moved across the country for both of you? long distance relationships have their own difficulties and i am curious how you both were able to overcome them and prosper.

"*LIP SMACK!* Android cheered and he said-, Basically, he's asking something personal about my relationship with Kat. It's this simple. If and when, we want to come out and talk a lot, about our personal relationship, I WILL! But, I'm not comfortable doing it! It's that simple! I'm not! The fact, that we've kept so much private, has allowed US to have a good life, Behind The Scenes of everything. Okay? *SNORT* And, because, I don't expose a lot about, you know, OUR PAST. AND STUFF LIKE THAT. And what goes on Behind The Scenes. I really do feel, that we're able to have a better life. So, even though I appreciate the question, and the CHEER, android_x. Uh. I really don't want to answer it! Sorry about that."

Spoiler: Trolls Are The Reason DSP Doesn't Vlog Anymore

[2018-12-31 11:12:35 PST] android___x: cheer50 while you were sick i watched a lot of your kingofhatevlog channel videos, a lot of your moving vlogs and past shows. i have to be honest its a shame due to trolling you cant do it anymore, it was really fun to watch, i hope you are able to continue it in the future when trolling dies down

"Yeah! The bottom line is, in the past, right? When I was starting on YouTube. What were some of the first videos that I did? It was me moving into my new condo, uh, in Connecticut. Uhm. You know, vlog-style videos, anyway. ME going on trips! ME vlogging, you know? DSP Tries It, an ongoing series for how many years, right? Uhm. *LIP SMACK!* And, you know, I used to share EVERYTHING! I did! Like, everything that would happen. I would decorate the house for a holiday. I would vlog it! You know? Go out to a new restaurant, or new place. I would vlog it! And, it was nice for a while. Until, basically, it was completely turned and used against me! Uhm. For every NEGATIVE POSSIBLE FUCKING PURPOSE! And, PEOPLE using that content, to find out personal stuff about myself, and MY FAMILY! Which, you know, it's one thing when it's just me and you're trolling me. It's another thing, when, uh, you know, *THROAT CLEAR* family members are being affected by stuff. *THROAT CLEAR* *LIP SMACK!* Who absolutely have nothing to do with anything, uh, related to myself or my content. But, you guys- eh, you know, not YOU GUYS. Wow. It's not you guys! It's a CERTAIN GROUP of really MENTALLY FUCKED INDIVIDUALS, who go out and do this stuff. You know, hunting down relatives and harrassing them. Uhm. And doing shit, like, it's pretty. It's pretty disgusting! Okay? Uhm. You know, and it sucks! And, It Is What It Is. But, that's why I had to, basically, stop doing it. The more personal stuff I shared in vlogging, the worse my personal life was getting! Because, people were finding ways to HARASS, to do fucked up shit! *LIP SMACK!* And, I'm like, 'You know what? The, uh, I think it's time, to just SEPARATE the PERSONAL from the PROFESSIONAL!' All right? It is. And, this year, since Kat moved in, we've barely shared anything about our personal life. And, my God, it's been GREAT! Even though, there's STRESS! Don't get me wrong! There's STRESS when it comes to FINANCES and HAVING TO WORK, and blah, blah, blah. That's kind of normal stuff, that I think everyone goes through! Right? Uhm. But, in general, uhm, just in general, the messed up stuff that happened to me, I had to be sure that it did not affect, you know, KAT! Who, you know, made a pretty big LIFE-CHANGING EFFORT to MOVE ACROSS, uh, uh, uh, you know, uh, A LONG DISTANCE to live with me. And start our own life together! *LIP SMACK!* And, by the way, I am going to talk about some of this on the podcast today, but I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here. But. Uhm. Yeah, you know, it sucks! It Is What It Is. What am I going to do on the vlogging channel? Can't show you anything personal, anymore. Uhm. DSP Tries It, I stopped doing, because I wanted to stop eating fast food that was DISGUSTING! Which I do, I think in the last two months, I've had fast food TWICE! So. Versus, once a week, that I used to do, for DSP Tries It. Now, I do it twice. If that! You know? *PIG SNORT* And that's a great thing! That's an absolutely great thing! Uhm. I get it! I totally get it! And, I know it's disappointing. But, you know what? Things change over time, for the better. I think this is a change that, honestly, ME focusing just on putting out so many daily streams for you guys, and entertaining content. In the realm of, what keeps it professional, and keeps my personal stuff OFF the streams. Is the best way to do it! And, I think it's been a great year because of that! I mean, I'll be honest with you, PERSONALLY, this is one of my BEST YEARS I've ever had! Versus, LAST YEAR, I'd say, is one of the WORST YEARS I've PERSONALLY ever had! And, it's all, it culminated in just this TOXIC SHIT, last year. And, this year has been so much better for me. So. I gotta keep it like this! You know?"

 

[Sparkletor]

So Kat sacrificed so much to move across the umm long distance to be with Phil. It was so incredibly hard for her. It would be almost impossible for her to go back, and in fact she wouldn't want to because she was dealing with some really horrible stuff there. It was a bad situation and she is glad she left.

So was it hard for her to leave or easy since it was so horrible? I'm getting two conflicting stories here.

Phil's dad is really deathly ill. His back is four times worse than Phil's and his dad is really really old. Like early 60's old. We know for a fact that Phil can't drive because his back is so bad and he can't get a job because he is too old. I'm just flabbergasted that somehow Phil's dad is able to drive and work 40 hours a week. How is Phil unable to do something that his father who is four times in worse shape and twice as old able to do?

Phil's dad has heart problems. What these problems are is not explained. Since his parents haven't really discussed these issues with Phil, I would assume he isn't having heart attacks or getting quadruple bypass surgery or anything. If I had to make an educated guess, I would say Mr. Burnell has high blood pressure.

Phil's mom has three cats. Kat likes cats. The logical conclusion would be to fly across the country so Kat can see Phil's mom's cats. Only a mentally ill mister would deprive Kat of the once in a lifetime opportunity to see three cats.

Phil is not asking for money for the trip. Quite the opposite. The opposite of taking money would be giving away money. Phil does not give anything away for free, and sometimes doesn't even give what his supporters paid for. Plus as has been stated, Phil may not ask for airfare money but he will surely beg for money to compensate the days he will not stream.

 

[Raven'sChild]

I don't even know if DSP really considers his audience to be his "friends" but it really looks like that, and there are big issues with all of that and it'll show sooner or later.

He does not consider his audience to be his 'friends'. He has said this several times. After one such incident, he stopped saying 'Hello my friends' at the start of his prestreams to emphasize this recent boundary statement.

The only problem is that he has no marketable skills. At this point he has dug himself into a hole and his only options are to continue digging until his misery ends him or work as a gas station attendant for the next 30 years. No place of employment is going to look at his work history and not laugh him out of the building. He can't get any job in video editing, media, etc because they will see the quality of his dogshit content and blacklist him. He has no option and I think that is why he seems so angry and depressed. He never planned ahead and spent outrageously and now he has to pull off a miracle and try to maintain his dying channels for the rest of his life as he has no options and no willingness to work anywhere else.

D$P has a degree. He can get his foot in most doors with this. He can cover his 10 year gap in employment with a six figure income during this gap saying he was self employed. Boomers, real Baby Boomer gen folks have made late life career changes acceptable. D$P may not find it difficult to land a job at all....unless HR googles him.

Imagine your only child being successful enough to have two houses while making six figures a year.


He has a new soulmate he wants to marry, but he won't let you meet her.



To compromise, you have to offer this child you raised, provided for, looked after, and helped financially when he switched careers for NO RETURN and BARELY GRATITUDE fully funded tickets for him and his girlfriend to come visit you.

And probably a hotel too.
.

D$P has a half Italian mother. She WANTS to inspect this girl her Only son barely knows, but moved halfway across the country into his home less than a year after breaking up with his fiancé girlfriend of 5+years he also moved across the country into his home.

Boomers, real Baby Boomer gen folks have made late life career changes acceptable. D$P may not find it difficult to land a job at all....unless HR googles him.

Landing a job is one thing, keeping it is another. At this point there's no way he could keep a job, both because he doesn't really want to and because his long term self-isolation has only made his shitty attitude and poor interpersonal skills worse than they were when he got booted from his last job (and the ones before that, even).

 

[Raven'sChild]

...his long term self-isolation has only made his shitty attitude and poor interpersonal skills worse than they were when he got booted from his last job (and the ones before that, even).

Points I forgot. D$P's previous work history involves being Fired/let go from Every job he has held. That in of it'self could counter his degree. Changing jobs is okay. Repeatedly having been fired/let go is a Red Flag.

 

[Sparkletor]

Phil says he only sold about 50 items from his teesprings store all year. That number seems a little high to me.

Hey Phil, are you and Kat going to get married?

That's none of your fucking business! That is personal information! One of the things, one if the major changes this year is I don't give out personal information, okay? I'm a lot smarter now and don't reveal that kind of stuff anymore, so don't ask!

Later that "podcast"

Anyways, I want to marry Kat...

 

[Drip Feed]

Imagine living with phil, over hearing his stream intro over n over day after day when you're on your days off from REAL work "guys i need the money" day after day, "bits, subs, tips, cheers" day after day, i would have gave him an intervention by now, i dont know a single person that would resort to the style of begging he does where its just straight "i need this money to pay bills this week, im living month to month paycheck to paycheck" its not sad, its pathetic, every stream he just seems like more of a loser.

Also there is something mentally wrong with him, i'v said it once before but im noticing it even more, he laughs at odd moments in games like deaths, sex and serious issues, he doesnt get jumped by jump scares which i still find really odd, like he has no awereness, it could just be old age and really not caring about what hes viewing but even when he was younger he just plodded about in games rather autistically

He will never really know what his audience wants, theres a reason most people have moved to eddited content, its fast, bite sized and gets the views, if he stopped doing what he was doing, nobody would "fill the fat gap" he takes up doing uneddited trash content that you have to skip to x part in the video to see the fails you came to see, if he cut his videos to 2 per streaming day instead of uploading 12-24 and made a "dsp stream fails" and "dsp stream wins" compilation he would rake it in, in comparison, fact, he has the audience, he just needs to change for the times.

I'm willing to bet that Leanna, Kat and his parents have had that talk. But I doubt it got through to him. Especially since wales keep popping up out of the blue to give him ridiculous amounts of money.

Also there is something mentally wrong with him, i'v said it once before but im noticing it even more, he laughs at odd moments in games like deaths, sex and serious issues, he doesnt get jumped by jump scares which i still find really odd, like he has no awereness, it could just be old age and really not caring about what hes viewing but even when he was younger he just plodded about in games rather autistically

I'll defend him a little bit here. It reminds me of horror fans who are watching something fucked up and just laugh at it. It's a defense mechanism people use to show they're not affected by something. Especially when they're with friends or in the case of Phil a streaming audience. You also have to factor that he (1) just doesn't care about games let alone stories in games anymore and (2) he's trying to "entertain" his audience so he often forces it.

He will never really know what his audience wants, theres a reason most people have moved to eddited content, its fast, bite sized and gets the views, if he stopped doing what he was doing, nobody would "fill the fat gap" he takes up doing uneddited trash content that you have to skip to x part in the video to see the fails you came to see, if he cut his videos to 2 per streaming day instead of uploading 12-24 and made a "dsp stream fails" and "dsp stream wins" compilation he would rake it in, in comparison, fact, he has the audience, he just needs to change for the times.

He's always been clueless and he'll never change. It's too late now especially. He makes very little from YT and Patreon. All he has left is Twitch.

 

[Adamska]

Also there is something mentally wrong with him, i'v said it once before but im noticing it even more, he laughs at odd moments in games like deaths, sex and serious issues, he doesnt get jumped by jump scares which i still find really odd, like he has no awereness, it could just be old age and really not caring about what hes viewing but even when he was younger he just plodded about in games rather autistically

He does the seal/ack/fruit laugh as a pathetic defense mechanism due to his desire to look like a manly man. He picked up this autistic behavior from arcade games where my reckoning was as a kid he got made fun of if he went full on salt volcano to the point of tears, and he's still holding that baggage there. The refusal to get jump scared is a similar reason; he uses every tactic possible to avoid looking scared because he's desperate to look macho and cool and like a big boy with big responsibilities.

In reality he's just a spoiled, cowardly, antisocial, and autistic manchild no matter how hard he tries to peacock. He'd just try to bolt and would say nothing but awkwardly laugh in fear if you interventioned him; he'd then bitch about you if he feels like he could get away as soon as he feels like you're out of ear shot. Probably shit himself in fear if you then decided to follow up too.

The attention problems due to again his retarded and stupid fear of looking uncool; he refuses to wear glasses that he needs due to being near sighted. This is also because he's lazy and hates playing games too.

Pigroach is pretty easy to read once you get a good look into what drives him.

 

[Xenomorph]

I hope Horse and Pig get married, I hope they do, she cucks him and divorces him and gets him for alimony.

 

[Comma]

Been listening to yesterday's main stream as background noise, but goddamn, what an extremely negative and toxic event. It's basically an extended pre-stream, but somehow even more toxic than usual. And there are people giving him money for it...

Simply amazing.

D$P has a degree. He can get his foot in most doors with this. He can cover his 10 year gap in employment with a six figure income during this gap saying he was self employed.

Sex offenders who were busted in front of millions on national tv (to catch a predator) and still have the footage posted on youtube have been able to find work after being jailed and RSO'ed, so it wouldn't be impossible for DSP to get a job, but the bigger issue would be...

Landing a job is one thing, keeping it is another. At this point there's no way he could keep a job, both because he doesn't really want to and because his long term self-isolation has only made his shitty attitude and poor interpersonal skills worse than they were when he got booted from his last job (and the ones before that, even).

12/31/18 Second Prestream - Minecraft No-Chill Stream: Cookie Escapes The Pigpen

Spoiler: Darksydephil Begins The Stream By Setting The Stopwatch

"Minecraft, tonight! Some chill Minecraft fun. At least two hours. I can't go super-late tonight. I can maybe go a little bit later. But, I can't go super-late, because I have a lot of other stuff I have to do. Including, TAKING A SHOWER, and, uh, a few other things, before Kat gets home *THROAT CLEAR* from work. Which should be around ten-thirty P.M.-ish, my time. Uhm. So. Got a few things to do, before she gets home. And. So. Cannot hang around super-late."

Spoiler: Begging

"Uhm. No giant plugs, or anything, here tonight, guys. BUT! Quick reminder, if you really want to help me out, the best way you can help me, is by TIPPING ME. This next, one to two weeks, is going to be hell for me! Behind The Scenes, financially, things are really BAD. And, it's because I didn't work for a week, plus, already, the money I made in December wasn't great. Because October was such a slow month on streaming. So, basically, I'm like, between a rock and a hard place here. And, if you could TIP ME. Any funds that you TIP ME, are going to go straight towards BILLS. Uhm. Anything else you contribute, like cheering or subbing, or whatever, also helps. Don't get me wrong. BUT! TIPPING right now, is going to help me IMMEDIATELY, in the short term. So, please, consider TIPPING ME."
Explains how to send his sweaty begging ass a tip.
"*PIG SNORT* So, There You Go. However you guys CONTRIBUTE to me is appreciated. But! TIPPING. HELPS ME. THE BEST!"

Spoiler: A Thing That Definitely Happened

"Also, I want to say something. Someone wrote me a REALLY nice message. Uhm. During the break. And, it was a really detailed email, about how this was a person who, basically, just liked to jump on the bandwagon of people who piled on me, and made fun of me. And believed the worst about me. Just wanted to believe that I was a hypocrite, and I was a dickhead, and I'm a liar. And I steal everyone's money, and all this stuff. And, basically, they said, when they watched the podcast earlier today, it completely, kind of, changed their opinion of me. Even though, this was a person, who had followed me on Twitter, and saw that I had made some bad tweets about Ninja and stuff like that. That, basically, after watching the podcast today, it kind of changed their opinion. And they said some really nice things, that actually made me feel really good! So, I just want to say, thanks to anyone, uh, who basically, gives me a chance, and comes and hangs out with me, and does stuff with me. Because, you know, uh, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT. You know what I mean? It's all about US having FUN. And, it's all about US, just, kind of, uh, sharing a common fun experience. Having a cool CHILL time. And, that's it! That's all I want my streams to ever be! What these people, outside the streams, turn it into is quite LUDICROUS! Uhm. But, your, YOU GUYS are going to see! In particular, someone just on prestream said, you know, 'I've only heard negative things about Phil, but I wanted to actually tune in, to watch one of his streams. I wonder what this will be?' It's Minecraft tonight! Do you know how chill this is going to be?! This is going to be a fun stream, I think. So. *THROAT CLEAR* Anyway. Thanks to the person that wrote me that really nice message. And, again, thanks to anyone who SUPPORTS, you know, my efforts to keep doing what I love. Thank you."

Spoiler: Not A Children's Entertainer

"*TURNS ON FACECAM. LOOKS TERRIBLE* By the way, guys! FINAL STREAM *THROAT CLEAR* of 2018, for Cookie! *TWISTS HIS MISSHAPEN BODY AROUND, SO THAT HE CAN PAT HIS STUFFED ANIMAL FRIEND. HIS ONLY FRIEND.* I'd like to say: Thank you, Cookie for joining us. For all the fun streams. The holiday themed streams, in December of 2018. It was a lot of fun to have Cookie on the streams! Also, of course, all these fun Holiday decorations are going to go away for the year. We won't see them again, back, until December of next year. So, thanks everyone for joining me for a very fun December. Even though, I wasn't here for a week, because I WAS SICK AS SHIT! Uh. Thanks. Thanks a lot. Okay?"

Getting a job is one thing. Getting one that will bring in the same amount that he gets for begging on twitch is another.

This is what social isolation does to the human mind. I read an article recently stating that loneliness increases the risks of premature death and conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. Phil is voluntarily subjecting himself to what would otherwise be considered “cruel and unusual” punishment — playing children’s games for 8 hours / day with minimal human contact while being confined to the square footage of his townhome. Joel built his robot friends to stave off insanity on MST3K; Phil has no such friends. He exhibits traits of hoarders, who brag about their mountainous collections of old newspapers just as Phil proudly points to the rat-nest of YouTube footage he calls his “legacy.” He runs his Twitch channel and web forums like an authoritarian, permitting no dissent whatsoever, so add narcissistic personality disorder to the list. He claims to suffer from depression. But he also lies a lot, without any apparent guilt, so maybe antisocial personality disorder or schizophrenia, depending on how you want to interpret things.
