Well, there it is. The line finally got crossed.
No mores semantics, no more playing dumb, no more avoiding... this is the outright lie.
He faltered - we saw him falter. He planted the seeds of this a little while ago, implying that the 'identity theft' had resulted in something being stolen from him, but he wasn't ready to go all the way yet. Now with Christmas approaching, earnings dipping a little, and taxes looming, he pulled the trigger and finally did it.
So we saw a few things at work here that had previously been considered dubious. This shows that Phil will intentionally plan ahead and work up to his bigger lies. He invests forethought, and he is willing to cross the moral line and commit if he can work himself up to it, and once he reasons that he is a safe enough distance away from the allegation to avoid immediate questions. The big scams are intentional, planned and thought out. They're still dumb and cumbersome because the planner is stupid and divorced from reality, but Phil knows what he is doing and what he is attempting to do. He's not random impulse and desperation - he schemes.
Very egregious guilt-tripping from Nov 30's "podcast" that I missed but Snort Burnell caught.
Worth noting here is that this is Phil running the Twitch Payment Scam again.
He begged for money to cover the cost of the lost revenue on YT.
He then reveals that he didn't actually lose any of the revenue, but he did not see a spike that he would have otherwise seen.
Except he did see a spike in his income because he begged his audience to cover the loss that never occurred.
He does an exceptionally bad job of it here because you can tell by his bemused expression that he believes he's duping the wheelchairs with his hand graphs.
