He is not talking to anyone, other than himself. He is constantly trying to buff himself up. That is why when anyone challenges him, he gets so upset. It is HIS story, so any daring to question that gets shit over.
He doesn't tell the story or stories for his audience, his viewers. He tells those stories for himself. He does this to reassure himself that he is someone of note. His schedule is a fantastic example of this. Never, not once has he changed what game he plays on a whim, or adjusted it in any form or way. And even felt the need to explain fucking Day Light Savings. He does that, because he feels he needs to reassure his importance.
The people who are his fans either know or don't care about his stories, and the detractors call him out on it. But people new to Phil, those are dangerous. Because they question everything, especially when they feel like a story is over the top. It will be that much harder to control the narrative under those conditions.
It's all about protecting his fragile little ego, it's all he has as a narcissist. Everything he does, everything he says is protect that ego.
He's talking mostly for his own benefit, but he still needs an audience to listen to him, preferably an audience with disposable income.
