KEEMSTAR is the 1st Guest EVER of the Level 1 Podcast! Ep. 419: Aug. 28, 2024 

Very befitting that Keemstar is the first guest given the history.

Keem and DSP having a civil conversation was not on my 2024 bingo card.

It's surprising seeing Phil jumping through the level warp portal to get all these things done, let's hope the king doesn't stop.

Ya really can’t deny that Phil is actually trying to adapt at this point and some credit is due to

Phil is actually really good at interviewing people, even Null gave him props for that.

I think it's time to make this the Level 2 Podcast.

Sun Tzu said, “If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.”

This was an amazing podcast. I am a longtime fan of DSP and didn't think this would be such a peaceful and interesting stream with Keem.

This is so wild to see, such a TRIP seeing Phil talk to Keem one on one 😂😁 Great to see! First guest 👏

We definitely shifted realities and are now on a different timeline. It's amazing.

It's very refreshing to see two guys who have been adversarial in the past have a respectful and friendly discussion. We need more things like this online amidst all the bloodsports and drama. Big ups to Phil and Keem.

DSP needs to hook up with a few other hardcore gaming RU-vidr's and do an actual legitimate gaming podcast, or maybe even better take his to the next level, make it longer, more topics etc. The dude has a ton to say, lots of gaming experience and a ton of good to decent takes IMO. I have grown to enjoy his podcasts and discussions on games a lot recently.

Phil is actually changing and it's really great to see. Going to start watching the channel again

This was a great conversation. Feels like you guys really cleared the air after so long.

So nostalgic to see the return of DSP, very happy for you BROTHER!

Review Tech USA is a great Idea from Keem. Excellent

really enjoyable conversation good luck DSP, you gained a new viewer in me

Incredible

the fact the screen in the back switched to the poker chip at the very moment he picked up Rich's last chip was pretty damn cool

I won’t lie for someone who’s never watched DSP and only seen the docs on him I genuinely enjoyed this I hope he can make something of this especially this history these two had

dude wow this was just a treat, Phil is evolving. he still does the uncut gaming stuff and im cool with that and respect the hustle. but this and the kino casino collab its just all really really promising and DSP you are a very solid interviewer plus with more interviews under your belt youll continue to improve! i cant really think of guests to have id love to see the kino casino crew again. the future is looking so bright for DSP content.

Bro yes, such great memories of Phil from high school. For him to rise up and become king after all these years, I'm 100% here for it

Phil is just killing it this year

Keem got a lot of LOLCowLive viewers, we see you and we've subscribed. You seem like a normal human who was just harassed for so long.

Phil, you beat Doody for 1 reason. You became entertaining. Lean into the hate, brag, call yourself King, trash the haters..a king defends himself. Make the most of this.

Watching Lolcow Live is what made me realize how crazy the detractors are. The documentary on Wings also did a good job of showing how horrible his detractors are.

Wow. Everything Phil said about Craig was true

Honestly a great convo!

Wow. Unironically good and wholesome. Is the King meme becoming real?!

Great show Phil! You and Keem were cordial, surreal to see it finally happen ☺️😂💜 I agree with Keem while you can certainly keep doing the regular content, keep on collabing! Diverisfy and try new things, the recent changes are wonderful to see. Btw a cooking with Phil style video/collab & irl vlogs in the future would be great to see someday! Aside from that, you either attending an EVO event, vlogging it, maybe even competing one final time in SF2 turbo would be 🔥👏😁

This is like when you find the pipes that let you skip levels in the second stage of Mario. Phil is only moving on up

Phil is collecting all the W's this year

I should be the next guest. Legitimate

DSP is actually pretty good at conducting an interview, it does not get bogged down and he keeps it moving, which is a skill alot of bigger creators dont have, each time they try to conduct and Interview its a shit show

Now that I think about it, it'd be cool for you to interview Warski and PPP on your show. Asking them about their beginnings, favorite/least favorite people to cover, their most embarrassing moments, beginnings of Kino Casino, etc. Or even to just talk about vidya games. One or other would be kino.

God bless you Phil, I'm glad you had a decent discussion with Keemstar. You are natural at interviewing people, this was very interesting

Leaving a comment for the algorithm! Thanks for the content!

The downfall of a certain Minnesota lawyer paved the way for this

this is a sign dsp should go on lolcowlive as a guest

Keem's suggestion is good having RTU on would be legit

Doody is punching in the air right now.

This was really good to watch, respecting each others opinions, letting each other talk until they're finished, hopefully we see more of the same soon. Although I don't watch much gameplay, I've always liked these podcasts, I stopped using gaming news sites because he covers everything worth caring about in his game news section and always gives unbiased opinions on the games.

I appreciate both being blunt, honest and open minded. Respect to both of you for setting your differences aside. *Sips hater tears*

I'm going to be honest, this sounded like an absolutely terrible idea to me, and I fully expected this to be followed up with a video by Phil expressing regret over it. In fact, the only reason I watched this was because no such follow up video was posted. Clearly I was wrong and this was definitely worth it, it finally cleared the air and ended a sort of feud between DSP and Keem. That being said, I completely disagree with Keem saying that Phil should capitalize on his haters by doing stuff they want to watch. The haters just watch detractor re-streams, Phil will never make a dime off those guys, so there's nothing to gain by catering to them.

Hpnestly? I've been thinking for ages that it would be good for Phil to interact with other folks. I just knew it was difficult to do so due to all the hate he was getting. This right here, and the kino stuff, proves how entertaining he can be when interacting with other creators. I don't have any suggestions of who to have on, but I would absolutely love to see more content like this, time and such allowing.

The King's Redemption arch!

Two Italian men having a civil conversation

Very glad Phil's been doing good. I 1st watched his content in 2009 for SF4.

DSP in the house….good show, glad to see you stepping out.

Makes me really happy to see Phil having his redemption arc 😊👍 Also this was a great interview

King we love you

Great conversation with Keemstar.

DSP you are doing the Alex Jones and not letting Keem talk my man.

Great content! The casino sent me to the King! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

we love ya king

Phil got the scoop on keems beard. Great interview king.

Great podcast. I hope Phil keeps having interesting guests like Keem

I really hope you talk to Keem again soon. This was a great conversation, when on a level field you seem to have some chemistry going.

Love this Phil. Keep up the good work I’m glad you’re trying to adapt and o some other stuff

You need to stop worrying or caring about people that talk crap/detractors. You’re always going to have people that say bad things about you, etc - it’s the internet. You just need to stop caring, and every time something comes up, you don’t need to try to go out of your way to prove anything to anyone. The biggest reason not to care though is because you’ll go insane, and then you’ll go down the tubes. Look at all the creators who’ve basically lost everything all because they cared about what “detractors” said and even got obsessed with it. You’re turning a big corner, and I think the last big hurdle you need to jump is just not giving AF what mean people say to you. Someone constantly saying $hitty stuff in your chat? BAN THEM FOR LIFE, and don’t even bother addressing what they said. Most of the time it’s made up anyway and you can’t prove a negative, but what you can do is not let it effect you in any way at all. I know it’s tough, but you need to do that. Caring what people say brought down people like ReveiwTech, Boogie, wings and a few others. Everyone understands you’re going to get nonsensical hate. You don’t need to prove them wrong. Sorry for the long post but it was worth it.

After this you have my subscription, really enjoyed the chat with Keem & crushing the beef. You’re a good host DSP

As much as i laughed at your goofs, i hope you make good use of your comeback bro!

this is so surreal lmaooo

confessing, forgiving, and asking for forgiveness. Did DSP become a devout catholic again. I can't complain

Both came off as a couple of chill dudes in this …BIG WIN

I hope things keep going Phil's way, man deserves a W.

Time to be a guest on lolcow live.

Proud of you Keem.

This is sort of full circle. Keemstart would be the first guest in a civilized conversation.

Good interview

The first 5 minutes were amazing. Phil for the first time ever, admits he did something wrong. This is no longer level 1. Phil has finally gained enough experience, he is leveling up. Don't screw the arc up Phil, the greatest weapon against haters, is SUCCESS.

Jesus Keemstar's Discord Mic Sounds like absolute ASSSS, broooooo hahaha, he was NOT kidding about that.

King Phil nice job

Never have watched you before, but after this video have gained a lot of respect and like. Hoping that you continue to make new content like this I’m definitely invested and subscribed now.

"Oh, the camera's on."

I’m liking this face turn. Phil is about to go on a great run like the CM punk return arc 😂

Wtf DSP redemption before GTA VI !?

Holy shit, I can't believe it

Unbelievable Phil. Bravo. Keep it up.

hello, it's me keemstar let's get into the news.

awesome interview, i would really take keems advice, i know hes had his moments but i think his intentions are good and he does know what hes talking about

Keem can't handle the King

I know its always been the popular thing to laught and hate at DSP but im honestly really happy for you man. You seem to be doing a lot better nowadays!

W interview.

is hell freezing over? Good job DSP!

Great work Phil.

Great Podcast DSP! Been watching since the og Darksydephil channel. I would love to see you invite Kino Casino to the podcast

Level 1 podcast premire :D

I have enjoyed watching the glow up, I’d say my only criticism as you navigate this new space, and I can tell you’re already doing it from the first kino interaction to the most recent one is, you tend to go a little long or repeat some things, so like for instance, you mentioned to keem you’ve been the whipping boy of the internet for 10 years, and where as that is true, you prefaced it three or four different times in your statements. Your audience understands it after the first mention, maybe it doesn’t need to be mentioned several more times as a way of cutting down a long winded story. All in all though I’ve been enjoying it. Also wouldn’t mind seeing Tevin catch an invite on the podcast.. but that’s totally on you and how you choose to do things, I feel it could be civil, maybe uncomfortable at times but civil..

wow i liked this side of phil a lot

Great vid

Slightly disappointed nobody was called a double-alex.

The similar name thing re: GameAttorney reminds me of Bill Murray signing up for the Garfield movies thinking it was directed by the famous Coen brothers but was directed by someone with a very similar name, Joel Cohen

Let’s go king 👑

Really enjoyed this. Great job, DSP.

Phil, I'm an old street fighter player and I hated you lol. I used to go out of my way to try and whoop your ass every time you played. But after this interview, I'm a subscriber. Thanks for never giving up man. I hope to one day be on your level of success. Congratulations!

Peak content

That was really good, Phil. I'm happy to see your progress recently, and I hope you keep going. I disagreed with your definition of 'scripting' there. What you described was more like scheduling things instead of scripting it. I would've gone more with asking about how conveniently wacky the scenario was, which makes it look very scripted. It was great to see the beef get squashed here, and seeing you interact with all of these people is a lot of fun. You do shine in co-op situations in my opinion. I really hope you do get to talk to Mister Metokur, it just hangs on his health and condition. He's a really funny guy, and he's not as confrontational as he seems.

Crazy

Hey Phil I bet you and Sips would be a good collab. Sips used to be apart of the yogscast, now he’s on his own. Reach out he’s a funny and chill guy
