The MOMENT a game presents a hint of a challenge, he throws out the infamous sentence in the DSP lingo: he would rather "just chill with his audience than play the game anymore." He's done this over the past three games he's played. The money is talking, of course. He's gotta get those Hogan's, dood! He's gotta get that DoorDash order in, dood!
He just recently complained about puzzle bosses and said that he wanted bosses that challenged you to use the game mechanics.
This is a boss that challenged your use of game mechanics and his first response was to scream about quitting. He also was deeply upset that it could not be beaten on the first try.
Then he said he didn't want to 'waste another 45 minutes' to beat the boss, and that he didn't have time for that, but he would rather do an hour of Q&A. He really just wants to collect money for sitting on camera at this point.
I also wanted to point out that last night, Phil got very excited about a payment processor (Fednow) that would allow him to transfer funds without fees. He was so excited about this that he was considering opening it up as fast as possible. Specifically, Phil was excited about the lack of transfer fees and asked if you could still use FedNow to make payments to all the same places as PayPal.
Piece's Video where Phil talks about this. (Starts at 2:41:00)
As Piece points out, the transfer fees for Phil are already 0 if he waits a day. I point this out because during the Sidescroller's interview, Phil asked Adam why he would immediately transfer money out of his Paypal to his bank account, as that would be stupid. This was a defense against the bank leaks being his that he has not returned to. Not only did he previously admit that he immediately transfers money out of his PayPal with a fee during the Chargeback Saga, here he is again implying that he's still doing that immediate transfer. This is another instance of Phil playing dumb and lying about something that he has openly admitted to doing in order to try to weasel out of a situation.
Keep an eye out for this tactic - just like with him pretending not to know what 2FA is, Phil has become extremely reliant on playing dumb when he's backed into a corner and can't think of a lie to cover himself. I didn't see it mentioned and I thought it worth noting here.
