That also caught my attention for a different reason: you just don't notice or even consider the age gap Phil has with the people he's interacted with recently.
Triple P (that's what I call him, Triple P), Joon, Tolomeo... all these guys are in their late 20s, aren't they? And the way they talk with Phil, you'd think he's the young one just by watching how slowly they have to explain things and often offer far more compelling and mature arguments.
Stuttering Craig is the closest to his age and we know how that conversation went. It's wild to see this guy in his 40s just being so unintelligent and inexperienced compared to these terminally online young men.
