I just picture him having this conversation with little sockpuppets that he calls Mom and Dale, cause that's the only way that this conversation would really happen.
Twist: Dale is a figment of ADF's imagination. ADF isn't in Philadelphia at all but is under a bridge somewhere in Indiana having fever hallucinations brought on by sepsis from his shitty tattoos. His "mom" is a schizophrenic bum circling over him like a buzzard waiting for him to lose consciousness so he can run off with his phone.
If Phil's mom is supportive of his rediculous lifestyle, then shouldn't they be eating at a Hispanic restaurant instead of a place called "Chickie's and Pete's?" She doesn't realize how eating at a cis white male restaurant will offend Phil. She deserves another beating.
The Dale Gribble connection is so perfect because it would take a Gribble-level conspiracist to believe that Phil's Step-Dad would chime in at the perfect moment by saying exactly what Phil would want him to say.
How discreet of Phil to leave out the part about how they were driving away from the T1000 terminator, having just liberated Dale from Pescadaro State Hospital. Say what you will, he set a limit on how much he was fishing for sympathy, the deadliest catch!
