Alright, guys.
Now I gotta get to a portion of the prestream that is pretty serious.
Uhm.
Normally, here I would do a plug segment.
Normally, I would tell you about all the ways you can CONTRIBUTE.
Right?
I would!
I would say, 'Oh! You could- you could go to Patreon, or you could buy something from Teespring! You could cheer, sub, or TIP.'
Bottom line, guys, right now, I'm in the worst financial position I've ever been in!
Uhm.
Because of stuff going on Behind The Scenes.
And.
I am faced with a dilemma.
Alright?
Said dilemma.
SAID DILEMMA!
Is.
That.
I am not getting paid for ten days!
Alright?
TEN DAYS!
Until I get my payment from Twitch for this month.
I have no other sources of income right now!
I tried my best to do things, to make extra income!
I tried to sell my statues! No one was serious about buying them!
Talked to a ton of people! And everyone kind of wasted my time and no one bought anything.
Uhm.
I basically.
You know?
Tried as much as I could- I STRETCHED myself thin, as much as I possibly FREAKIN' could here!
Uhm.
*LIP SMACK!*
And I'm done!
I'm shot!
I have no other.
Uh.
Options, here at this point.
So, I have ten days, where I have ZERO DOLLARS in my bank account!
And I can't pay bills!
And this really fucking sucks!
Because I have bills coming up!
I have.
Uh.
Condo dues that are going to be due.
I have a loan payment that's due.
Uhm.
And I know for a fact, that I probably have one or two credit card payments.
Uhm.
All coming up!
And I have no money to pay them!
Now, you may say, 'Well. You know? What happens then?'
Well, my bank account may or may not clear them.
Like, my bank may say, 'We'll pay you. But then we'll charge you this big overdraft fee!'
I have never been in a situation where there's ten days till I get paid, and I know things- I have no money.
Like, this is the worst I've ever had in my entire life!
Uhm.
So.
I'm pretty screwed!
Alright?
And, what I'm doing now is, I'm appealing to you guys, the viewers.
For anyone who is listening out there and-
You know?

Who cares, and who likes my content, and all that.
This is the worst situation I've ever been in!
It has nothing to do with you guys.
You guys have been incredibly supportive!
I seriously cannot say anything negative about the streams, or about anything.
Everything has been great!
The problem is, Behind The Scenes, there is shitty stuff going on in my life that, that, pretty much killed me this month!
Uhm.
And if I can't make ends meet and pay these bills, in the next two weeks, I don't even know what I'm going to do.
Like.
We're talking, potentially, The Internet could get cut off!
'Cuz that actually- I believe, at the end of- at the very tail end there, of when I get paid from Twitch, is supposed to be paid!
And I don't have money for it!
Alright?
Uhm.
*LIP SMACK!*
So, here's the deal!
If you guys want to help me out, PLEASE TIP ME.
Alright?
TIPPING ME.
I swear to you! A Hundred Percent of all TIP Funds are going to pay bills!
They have been for the past month and a half!
THAT!
Or buying a new game!
But, now, I mean, at this point?
Like, like, I can't even afford to buy a game at this point!
And I know there's a ton of new games coming out.
Uhm.
In about a week and a half, two weeks.
And, I don't even know if I'm even going to be able to afford them!
Being very REAL with all of you!
Uhm.
That's how bad of a situation I'm in right now.
So.
I need to get through this.
And, really, the only way- thing that I can ask is for your support, via TIPS.
That's it!
I don't even know what else to do!
I have no clue, what else I can possibly do to make any money right now, to make ends meet.
And, it sucks!
It's a horrible feeling!
And, it's hopefully a feeling I get out of, in the next couple of months.
The thing is, now we've got E3!
New games coming out!
We're going to have some consistency in the streams, where it's going to be better content!
And I think you guys, are going to be.
You know?
Normally- regularly viewership around this time of the year gets better.
And.
You know?
Some people are getting out of school and stuff! So, they start tuning into the streams more, and everything!
So.
*SNIFF*
*LIP SMACK!*
That being said.
Uhm.
Anything you can do to help, is appreciated!
Even if you can't TIP, word of mouth- 'Hey! Go check out Phil's streams!'
Stuff like that helps!
Uhm.
Just being here, hanging out with me and BEING POSITIVE.
Right?
Instead of being.
Uh.
One of these negative jerks, who comes in here to insult me.
Just hanging out with me, makes me feel better. Gives me some motivation to keep coming back.
Right?
Uhm.
But in particular, right now, I'm in such a bad situation.
You know?
I really need your help.
With TIPS.
Okay?
I'm just being very honest with everyone.
Open.
I didn't want it to come to this!
I've been struggling and really busting my butt, in the past two months, to try to make this not happen.
But, it's happened finally.
There's nothing I can do about it.
mithrandir475 donated $5!
For help w/ the emergency situation. keep strong brother.
*LEG SLAP*
I just kind of shrug and be like,
*LEG SLAP*
Hopefully things turn around. Hopefully I can raise enough TIPS in the next couple of weeks, pay some of these bills?
So I'm not that much MASSIVELY overdrawn!
And then when the Twitch payment comes through, hopefully it's enough to make up for the negative balance in my account.
And then, hopefully, at the end of this month, things go very well on streams to make up for all this stuff!
You know what I mean?
Like.
There's a lot of 'What ifs?'
But, it's really all I can rely on anymore!
Uhm.
*SNORT*
Certainly, I've shown my dedication, with the amount that I've streamed and the amount of stuff that I do with you guys!
Uhm.
And I can't really do much else!
You know?
It's not like, 'Oh! Phil can do a special thing here!'
NOT MUCH ELSE I CAN DO.
You know what I mean?!
Uhm.
So.
The bottom line is this: I apologize, guys.
Uhm.
That I even have to bring this up.
I don't want to.
And, basically, for the next two weeks, I'm not even going to be doing full Plug Segments.
I'm just going to be saying, 'Please TIP ME, if you can.'
And the thing is: if you cheer or sub, that's great!
You know?
We have a sub goal for the month!
Cheering helps.
You know?
In the long term.
But!
TIPPING ME right now, is the only thing that's going to get me through the next.
You know?
TEN DAYS! Until I get PAID! And after that, making up for the fact that I didn't have the money!
You know what I mean?
So.
Please, guys!
Consider.
Uh.
*TAKES A SIP*
*LIP SMACK!*
TIPPING, if you can.
Explains how to send his lying, manipulative, low-down, grifting ass a tip.
So.

Just being honest!
Thank you, guys!
Anyone who contributes anything, I appreciate it!
Really!
I really, sincerely, am appealing to you!
Because this is the worst time I've ever had, financially.
It sucks!
Because, I really feel, my personal life is at an all time high!
My life with Kat!
We love each other! We're having a great, a great life Behind The Scenes!
Uhm.
You know?
Tomorrow, I'm going to have-
Even though, tomorrow is going to be a day where I'm just running errands
*LEG SLAP*
that I have to do!
Behind The Scenes.
And, really, we don't get to do too much fun stuff!
We're gonna have a day, a fun day together!
Regardless, we love spending time together!
My wife is amazing!
And, it's like, my personal life is at an all-time high! And my profess- my financial life is the worst it's ever been!
And there's nothing I can do about it.
You know what I mean?
*TAKES A SIP*
*LIP SMACK!*
Alright.
Enough is enough.
About beating the dead horse.
I'm just gonna- just so you guys know, I am going to bring it up during the streams.
PLEASE TIP ME.
It's just, I NEED PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND HOW SERIOUS THIS IS.
I'm not going to tell a full sob story or anything.
I'm just going to be like, 'Listen. I really need support. Please TIP ME if you can.'
Okay?
And I'm going to be bringing this up.
Uh.
A few times.
So.
*THROAT CLEAR*
Alright?
*GROSS WET SNIFFING*
*LIP SMACK!*
Okay.
