After his split from Stella earlier this year, Filip has re-launched his YouTube channel and is pushing an anti-relationship, anti-woman and dangerous rhetoric that plays into misogyny and the manosphere. In this episode I break down what he’s saying, how there’s a financial motive attached to his views and how the rest of the cast, including Stella, are reacting to what feels like a new person to the one we watched on TV.

## Transcript

[0:00] Speaker 1: There is a war on men. The most dangerous kind
[0:05] Speaker 1: of man is one that can't be controlled, that stands
[0:09] Speaker 1: up for what he believes in, that means what he says,
[0:11] Speaker 1: says what he means, and that is very, very intentional
[0:14] Speaker 1: and not scattered.
[0:16] Speaker 2: We are currently witnessing what is either the biggest post-breakup
[0:21] Speaker 2: crash out in Married at First Sight history that is
[0:25] Speaker 2: becoming increasingly dangerous by the day, Or, once again, we're
[0:31] Speaker 2: seeing in real time the power of a good edit.
[0:35] Speaker 1: When I'm with her, yeah, she just makes me feel like, yeah,
[0:38] Speaker 1: like I'm at home. I just feel like I don't
[0:40] Speaker 1: have to pretend.
[0:41] Speaker 2: As the person protected by the fairy tale storyline finally
[0:46] Speaker 2: shows us who they really are and what they really think.
[0:51] Speaker 3: I have to say I really enjoy your giddy smile
[0:54] Speaker 3: that you can't wipe off your face, Philip.
[0:56] Speaker 2: And this episode is all about.
[1:01] Speaker 1: This video is going to be a little bit different
[1:03] Speaker 1: and it's a little bit of a serious video. This
[1:05] Speaker 1: is for the man that doesn't like to adhere to
[1:08] Speaker 1: social norms and that is probably doing things a little
[1:11] Speaker 1: bit different. Maybe you haven't followed the traditional path. Maybe
[1:16] Speaker 1: you are the outcast of your group, peers at work
[1:21] Speaker 1: and family, whatever it is. And you just happen to
[1:25] Speaker 1: be doing it a little bit different. This one's for you.
[1:28] Speaker 1: But just know that there is a certain stigma for
[1:30] Speaker 1: not wanting to participate and not wanting to adhere to
[1:35] Speaker 1: the social norms. And I'd like to talk about that.
[1:41] Speaker 2: In the wake of his split from Stella a few
[1:44] Speaker 2: months ago, Philip has recently jumped back onto his, to
[1:49] Speaker 2: be honest, forgotten YouTube channel that no one's ever really
[1:51] Speaker 2: paid attention to. And What he's saying on there is
[1:56] Speaker 2: now going viral for all of the wrong reasons.
[2:00] Speaker 1: Relationships. Relationships are different, fellas. Like, they're not what they
[2:07] Speaker 1: used to be.
[2:08] Speaker 2: And the way he now speaks about relationships in general
[2:12] Speaker 2: just has such a tinge of bitterness to it, which,
[2:16] Speaker 2: you know, you could argue is expected from someone following
[2:19] Speaker 2: any big breakup.
[2:21] Speaker 1: Forget Disneyland, you know what I mean? Fairy tales. Love
[2:25] Speaker 1: is a bonus, but for the most part, marriage was
[2:27] Speaker 1: to link families, to get people out of poverty, to
[2:31] Speaker 1: form connections, to avoid wars. That's what it was. Love
[2:35] Speaker 1: was just sprinkled on top.
[2:37] Speaker 2: But that's not the issue here. The problem is Philip's
[2:41] Speaker 2: content isn't just skewing anti-relationship with this narrative he's pushing
[2:46] Speaker 2: that I'm so much happier on my own, but it's
[2:49] Speaker 2: actually skewing... anti-woman and he's presenting his new borderline extreme
[2:55] Speaker 2: views in a way that he believes all men should follow.
[3:00] Speaker 1: Dating uh relationships marriage or whatever like what is the
[3:04] Speaker 1: incentive to get into that deal if i told you
[3:07] Speaker 1: that you could get into a deal with 50 that
[3:10] Speaker 1: was going to work but out of that 50 80
[3:14] Speaker 1: was incentivized by the other party leaf would you go
[3:17] Speaker 1: and do that would you And you're going to lose
[3:22] Speaker 1: stuff like, like, I don't know, like, I don't know
[3:24] Speaker 1: if that's a good deal. Ask yourself that question because
[3:27] Speaker 1: that's what's on the table. And if you don't have
[3:29] Speaker 1: a plan for that, and if you don't have standards
[3:32] Speaker 1: and you don't have a proper vetting process to look
[3:34] Speaker 1: for someone, you're finished.
[3:37] Speaker 2: Philip isn't just spamming YouTube with this type of content,
[3:41] Speaker 2: but he's also now advertising his services again for one-on-one
[3:46] Speaker 2: personal coaching with him. which mean these views he's pushing
[3:50] Speaker 2: also come with a price tag. And his desired client,
[3:54] Speaker 2: I suppose, is anyone out there, any man who's feeling
[3:57] Speaker 2: a little lost and looking for guidance. And this is
[4:01] Speaker 2: what I meant a moment ago when I said, what's
[4:04] Speaker 2: happening here is becoming dangerous.
[4:08] Speaker 1: Showing things in a certain way of what you're looking
[4:10] Speaker 1: for in a partner. Always think to yourself, what is
[4:13] Speaker 1: the guy that I'm looking for looking for? The only
[4:15] Speaker 1: reason why I say this is because I get coaching clients.
[4:18] Speaker 1: I have women that do message me. They say, hey,
[4:21] Speaker 1: can I book a call in with you? They'll book
[4:22] Speaker 1: a call in with me and they'll figure out why
[4:24] Speaker 1: aren't guys looking at me. I'm like, well, you're kind
[4:26] Speaker 1: of showing a bit too much body over here. You
[4:28] Speaker 1: got too many, following too many guys. You have very
[4:31] Speaker 1: suggestive photos. You're traveling all the time, whatever. These are
[4:35] Speaker 1: all things that guys will not tell you, but they
[4:38] Speaker 1: don't like. Do you know what I'm saying? You got
[4:40] Speaker 1: too much on, too much on. It's too hectic, you know?
[4:45] Speaker 1: And it's too much to, like, it's a lot for guys.
[4:47] Speaker 1: They don't want that. They just want, guys, for the
[4:51] Speaker 1: most part, we just don't want a headache, you know?
[4:54] Speaker 1: We want someone that's there for the right reasons, you know?
[4:56] Speaker 2: Philip telling women why they're single and what they must
[4:59] Speaker 2: do to attract a man, according to him, isn't just
[5:03] Speaker 2: bullshit but as his content is being primarily consumed by
[5:06] Speaker 2: men and that's men who I would argue probably already
[5:10] Speaker 2: have some level of resentment towards women likely because of
[5:14] Speaker 2: one bad breakup they've had or they maybe don't have
[5:17] Speaker 2: much luck dating but Philip doing this is essentially giving
[5:21] Speaker 2: these men justification for that resentment that they hold and
[5:26] Speaker 2: making it feel validated to them and then when these
[5:30] Speaker 2: men who are consuming this content, you know, see a
[5:32] Speaker 2: woman out there or maybe on a dating app who
[5:35] Speaker 2: doesn't fit this criteria that Philip is now pushing of
[5:38] Speaker 2: how women must exist in order to find a man,
[5:41] Speaker 2: then to me at least, then this is going to
[5:44] Speaker 2: start shifting that resentment into potential hatred.
[5:50] Speaker 1: It is a really, really brutal place for dating and
[5:55] Speaker 1: just in general for men and women. And Women, it's
[5:59] Speaker 1: never ever been more important now because I know that
[6:02] Speaker 1: there is an epidemic of women that are in their
[6:05] Speaker 1: 30s now and it's going to get harder, you know
[6:07] Speaker 1: what I mean? And they're going to try and find
[6:08] Speaker 1: their guys and the list is going to go up
[6:11] Speaker 1: more of what they want. But they have to be realistic,
[6:15] Speaker 1: you know, of what they can get as well.
[6:17] Speaker 2: There's also just a running contradiction in half of what
[6:19] Speaker 2: Philip is saying in his videos because what you'll hear
[6:22] Speaker 2: in the next clip is him briefly mentioning how great
[6:25] Speaker 2: it is that the gender pay gap has got better
[6:29] Speaker 2: in recent years and women are being paid more. But
[6:33] Speaker 2: he then kind of goes on to say that men
[6:35] Speaker 2: must now work harder so they can still ultimately bring
[6:40] Speaker 2: more money home and be paid more than women. Like
[6:44] Speaker 2: he talks in circles and it's just, I mean, I've
[6:48] Speaker 2: already said it, but it's just bullshit.
[6:51] Speaker 1: Men, what this comes down to is that you need
[6:54] Speaker 1: to become the best possible version of yourself. You just
[6:59] Speaker 1: need to get better in every single way to combat it.
[7:02] Speaker 1: I think that the rise of... There's never been more
[7:08] Speaker 1: women that are earning as much as they are. And
[7:11] Speaker 1: so they should. It is awesome. They're out there getting it, crushing,
[7:15] Speaker 1: killing it. I've met some savages here down in the
[7:17] Speaker 1: Gold Coast. They are absolutely killing it. And so they should.
[7:20] Speaker 1: But if everyone's bare minimum is $ 100, 000 or $ 120, 000 or
[7:22] Speaker 1: whatever they're earning, like... And the standard is that they're
[7:29] Speaker 1: working on Monday to Saturday, whatever. How do you become better?
[7:32] Speaker 1: How do you become the best possible version of yourself?
[7:36] Speaker 1: I think that if you strive to make 200 grand
[7:39] Speaker 1: or more, that'll never, ever, ever hurt you. I think
[7:43] Speaker 1: that's probably the bare minimum to look after yourself and
[7:46] Speaker 1: someone to live and to plan a future. So as
[7:51] Speaker 1: a man going into kind of the dating sphere, I
[7:53] Speaker 1: think that you really, really need to consider it.
[7:56] Speaker 2: On that word contradiction again, the baffling thing in Philip's
[7:59] Speaker 2: new content, and I've watched it all now, is how
[8:03] Speaker 2: he often skews away from this theme of him as
[8:06] Speaker 2: a self-appointed coach offering tips to men out there, how
[8:10] Speaker 2: to attract a woman and find a woman and be
[8:12] Speaker 2: more appealing to a woman. But he also then endlessly
[8:15] Speaker 2: preaches how awful relationships are because of how, in his view,
[8:20] Speaker 2: women own the men and they take away their freedom
[8:23] Speaker 2: and their rights.
[8:24] Speaker 1: And it's just.
[8:26] Speaker 2: Like, I've spent this morning watching it. I'm watching it again,
[8:29] Speaker 2: and I'm just like, what the fuck has happened to
[8:32] Speaker 2: this guy?
[8:33] Speaker 1: Man, like, the amount of people that I've seen on site,
[8:36] Speaker 1: you know, that, like, you know, like, what are you
[8:39] Speaker 1: doing for the weekend? I go, it depends what, you know,
[8:41] Speaker 1: she's got plans for me. Like, what? Like, you are
[8:45] Speaker 1: your own person, bro. Like, but I totally understand it.
[8:48] Speaker 1: I totally understand it. And the amount of homework that
[8:52] Speaker 1: I get, that I, like, see guys get given, you know, like,
[8:55] Speaker 1: that they have to do on top of all the
[8:58] Speaker 1: bullshit that comes with going to work. Fellas, I'm in
[9:01] Speaker 1: the trenches with you. I understand what it's like to
[9:03] Speaker 1: be with you guys, to come home, and then to
[9:06] Speaker 1: put up and get given all these tasks and go
[9:09] Speaker 1: hang out and go do things, things that you don't
[9:12] Speaker 1: even want to do with people that you don't want
[9:13] Speaker 1: to see. Boy, lads, I'm telling you that if you
[9:17] Speaker 1: don't have this, or I don't have this, or whatever,
[9:18] Speaker 1: you got everything, bro. You got everything. I'm telling you,
[9:22] Speaker 1: there is no better feeling than being able to, like
[9:25] Speaker 1: I said, wake up, just go, what am I going
[9:27] Speaker 1: to do today? Like, what do I feel like doing today?
[9:30] Speaker 1: How do I want to live? But yeah, like if
[9:32] Speaker 1: you are that single guy, like there's never been a
[9:36] Speaker 1: better time to be free from all the bullshit, like
[9:40] Speaker 1: considering all the statistics on relationships and all this kind
[9:43] Speaker 1: of stuff.
[9:43] Speaker 2: Earlier this year, after Tyson was introduced as an intruder
[9:47] Speaker 2: on this year's season of Married at First Sight, I
[9:49] Speaker 2: did a long form episode On this podcast, you may remember,
[9:52] Speaker 2: I'll actually put the link in the description detailing how
[9:56] Speaker 2: he was the perfect example of how so many men
[10:00] Speaker 2: are ultimately being radicalized by content they consume online into
[10:04] Speaker 2: becoming anti-woman and how as those views they're consuming through
[10:10] Speaker 2: videos like philips gradually progress and as they consume more
[10:15] Speaker 2: and more content like content again like philips over time
[10:19] Speaker 2: there is so much data out there to prove how
[10:21] Speaker 2: it does and has escalated into not just like that
[10:26] Speaker 2: resentment to women, but then hatred into then violence. And
[10:31] Speaker 2: I just need to clarify here, I'm not insinuating that
[10:33] Speaker 2: Tyson or Philip have ever or would ever become violent,
[10:37] Speaker 2: but the data out there, like there's so many cases,
[10:40] Speaker 2: it's endless, does show that violence towards women comes from
[10:45] Speaker 2: consumers of this type of content. The men that are
[10:48] Speaker 2: sat at home subscribing to guys like Philip or who
[10:51] Speaker 2: see someone like Tyson being promoted on channel nine like
[10:55] Speaker 2: a national network in prime time with his views and
[10:59] Speaker 2: they go oh well he just thinks like me so
[11:01] Speaker 2: maybe what I think is actually valid and and women
[11:04] Speaker 2: are the problem you know when they don't surrender to
[11:06] Speaker 2: me and take on the traditional role they must or
[11:09] Speaker 2: whatever bullshit Tyson was saying and then you know that
[11:12] Speaker 2: was my problem earlier this year when I questioned channel
[11:15] Speaker 2: nine platforming Tyson and now I'm here doing this podcast
[11:19] Speaker 2: questioning like what real life ramifications Philip pushing these ideologies
[11:25] Speaker 2: could have. And I would say will have on women
[11:29] Speaker 2: out there from the growing number of men consuming it.
[11:33] Speaker 1: So I'm very, very conflicted because I think being a
[11:36] Speaker 1: father would be an ultimate you know what i mean
[11:38] Speaker 1: i'd love to do it but the older i get
[11:41] Speaker 1: i have to be realistic see this is where the
[11:43] Speaker 1: delusion runs wild with women as well you know i
[11:46] Speaker 1: can do it at 40 i can do it at
[11:48] Speaker 1: 45 it's like no you can't you definitely can't you
[11:52] Speaker 1: freeze your eggs whatever like no like there are certain
[11:56] Speaker 1: windows and biology and facts and universal truths and all
[12:01] Speaker 1: that kind of stuff that you should not go against
[12:03] Speaker 1: and i have to be a realist.
[12:05] Speaker 2: Here And speaking much broader than just Philip now, but
[12:07] Speaker 2: continuing to use him as the example, like the societal
[12:11] Speaker 2: issue with all of this and what he's now doing
[12:14] Speaker 2: is the fact that the consumers of this type of content,
[12:17] Speaker 2: like the real men out there watching it, that the
[12:20] Speaker 2: lonely men wanting to feel seen and validated in their views,
[12:26] Speaker 2: they don't realize that the people like Philip they're turning
[12:29] Speaker 2: to as their apparent heroes are actually profiting from them.
[12:34] Speaker 2: And this gradual radicalization has financial incentives for the ones
[12:40] Speaker 2: like Philip perpetuating it all. Because like, look at Philip
[12:45] Speaker 2: with his views lately, views he's potentially always had, but
[12:49] Speaker 2: weren't ever shown on TVs and views, which after he
[12:52] Speaker 2: split from Stella, he's decided to embrace and promote more.
[12:57] Speaker 2: And as he's done that and started sharing them online,
[13:01] Speaker 2: the comments on his personal YouTube aren't people questioning him
[13:05] Speaker 2: and being shocked by this, but it's men, other single men,
[13:09] Speaker 2: thanking him for what he's saying and agreeing with him.
[13:12] Speaker 2: And as that continues, I suspect that Philip will lean
[13:16] Speaker 2: more into this because remember, he isn't just speaking for
[13:20] Speaker 2: this specific type of man out there, but he's then
[13:23] Speaker 2: offering them the chance to pay him $ 170, I think,
[13:27] Speaker 2: for a one hour private chat and session with him,
[13:30] Speaker 2: or as he says, personal coaching. So in order to
[13:33] Speaker 2: secure that work and more work, Philip obviously has to
[13:37] Speaker 2: continue saying things like what you've heard in this episode
[13:40] Speaker 2: that will appeal to the potential client he wants to attract.
[13:44] Speaker 2: But then the cycle of that is for him to
[13:46] Speaker 2: then attract more clients. He must get more views for
[13:49] Speaker 2: his content. And in order to get more views with
[13:51] Speaker 2: your content, you then have to play into the algorithms
[13:54] Speaker 2: of each social media app. And you do that by
[13:57] Speaker 2: essentially saying, more and more extreme versions of what you're
[14:01] Speaker 2: already saying, because that will then generate even more engagement
[14:06] Speaker 2: and engagement increases reach, which increases subscribers, which then for Philip,
[14:11] Speaker 2: he's hoping will convert to paying clients. And again, just
[14:15] Speaker 2: to go back to that word I started this podcast with,
[14:18] Speaker 2: it's dangerous. And this is why a lot of Philip's
[14:22] Speaker 2: former castmates are now calling him out publicly, including Stellar. Now,
[14:30] Speaker 2: although Philip has been spamming YouTube with this content for
[14:33] Speaker 2: a few weeks now, I must give credit here to
[14:35] Speaker 2: the very wonderful content creator that is Mondroff, who spotted
[14:40] Speaker 2: all of this first, and she's been sharing clips to
[14:42] Speaker 2: her TikTok, and she essentially brought wider attention to this,
[14:47] Speaker 2: which is basically how the rest of the cast have
[14:49] Speaker 2: seen it and started reacting to it. And before we
[14:52] Speaker 2: get to what Stella said, I want to start with
[14:55] Speaker 2: the worst, and that's Tyson. And as Mondroff's comments have
[15:00] Speaker 2: been full of women who are confused and concerned by
[15:03] Speaker 2: what they're seeing Philip say, Tyson wrote, geez, a lot
[15:09] Speaker 2: of unmarriables in the comment section here. What's wrong with
[15:13] Speaker 2: Philip trying to give some semi-decent advice to young men?
[15:18] Speaker 2: My dearest friend, Sammy, who I host my other podcast,
[15:21] Speaker 2: Occasionally Funny With, he then raised what I would say
[15:24] Speaker 2: is arguably the most powerful question in this. And he
[15:26] Speaker 2: wrote on his TikTok, Mel, who was only on the
[15:30] Speaker 2: season a few weeks and was matched with Farmer Luke,
[15:33] Speaker 2: she went.
[15:33] Speaker 1: On to say this.
[15:42] Speaker 2: Anyway, on the whole Philip situation, obviously he's a massive tool.
[15:45] Speaker 2: But this is what we were saying when we.
[15:48] Speaker 3: Said the guys are getting a better edit than the girls.
[15:51] Speaker 2: Can you hear us, people? Can you hear us now?
[15:53] Speaker 2: And Rachel has become surprisingly one of the most vocal
[15:57] Speaker 2: amongst all of this unfolding and possibly the most surprised
[16:02] Speaker 2: because as you'll hear her say next, she actually spoke
[16:05] Speaker 2: to Philip while they were filming the show about this
[16:09] Speaker 2: type of content and the danger of it. And she's
[16:13] Speaker 2: now baffled how Philip seems to have just completely changed
[16:18] Speaker 2: in the opposite direction.
[16:20] Speaker 3: Anyway, if you're not aware of the videos that I'm
[16:24] Speaker 3: speaking about, go over to Mondroff's page, have a look.
[16:27] Speaker 3: There's three there and they are posted on his YouTube channel.
[16:31] Speaker 3: So it's not someone doing it on his behalf. Philip
[16:35] Speaker 3: is making this content and putting it out. Now, while,
[16:38] Speaker 3: you know, what we're hearing from him is nothing new
[16:42] Speaker 3: in terms of messaging from the Manosphere, cue DJ Khalid,
[16:45] Speaker 3: another one. What is super polarizing, for me especially, is
[16:52] Speaker 3: I have spoken to Philip about how harmful this kind
[16:56] Speaker 3: of messaging is to men and how it actually leads
[16:59] Speaker 3: to further mental health issues within the men's health. And
[17:05] Speaker 3: he was in full agreeance. And so seeing this, yeah,
[17:09] Speaker 3: it is really polarising because I can't help but sit
[17:11] Speaker 3: here and go, who is this person?
[17:14] Speaker 2: What the hell?
[17:15] Speaker 3: And further to that, right, this is the guy on
[17:17] Speaker 3: our season that all the other guys put on this
[17:19] Speaker 3: pedestal and were like, he's such an amazing guy. He's
[17:22] Speaker 3: done so much work on himself. He's done so much self-development, blah, blah, blah.
[17:26] Speaker 3: He's so wise and blah. So do you agree with
[17:29] Speaker 3: what he's saying? And if you don't, are you calling
[17:33] Speaker 3: your boy out? Like, have you actually been on the
[17:35] Speaker 3: phone to him to say... Philip, my dude, what the fuck?
[17:38] Speaker 3: Where has this come from? Like, you can't be serious
[17:41] Speaker 3: with this. It's just, it's, again, polarizing. Also, I think
[17:46] Speaker 3: it's really hilarious how there's this epidemic of women being
[17:51] Speaker 3: single in their 30s. Coming from a man pushing his 40s.
[17:59] Speaker 2: Honey, come on.
[18:02] Speaker 3: Also, really happy to be a part of the... Epidemic
[18:06] Speaker 3: the single 30s epidemic, you know out living my best
[18:09] Speaker 3: life Kicking goals achieving what I want It's not bad.
[18:15] Speaker 2: And now for Stella, although she hasn't directly said anything
[18:18] Speaker 2: like via spoken word like Rachel and Mel there She
[18:22] Speaker 2: has shared two very telling video clips of her essentially
[18:26] Speaker 2: living her best life With some text on the screen
[18:29] Speaker 2: and the first video had this song playing in the
[18:32] Speaker 2: background stop the wedding And it contained the writing, the
[18:40] Speaker 2: thing that didn't work out actually really worked out. And
[18:45] Speaker 2: then the second video, Stella wrote, so unfair that my
[18:49] Speaker 2: ex gets to say they dated me and I've got
[18:52] Speaker 2: to admit that I dated them. Which, fair. And now
[18:57] Speaker 2: for the take that absolutely nobody has asked for, mine.
[19:02] Speaker 2: And I think throughout this episode, I've made my stance
[19:04] Speaker 2: pretty clear, but speaking like directly of Stella, philip like
[19:09] Speaker 2: who is someone i've never actually had a single conversation
[19:12] Speaker 2: with in my life i do have a theory here
[19:15] Speaker 2: but before i share it i want to remind you
[19:19] Speaker 2: of his two minute introduction maths like his backstory so
[19:23] Speaker 2: having just listened to like all of those recent clips
[19:26] Speaker 2: now listen to this.
[19:28] Speaker 1: I know what happily married looks like i can only
[19:31] Speaker 1: go from the example that i've seen from my parents
[19:33] Speaker 1: This year is our 40th anniversary. My name is Phil.
[19:38] Speaker 1: I'm 38 from Melbourne and I'm a carpenter. I was
[19:43] Speaker 1: born in Croatia. We came to Australia when I was
[19:46] Speaker 1: one and my parents left to give us a better life.
[19:51] Speaker 1: Life over there at the time was very basic living,
[19:54] Speaker 1: you know, and my parents thought that they could give
[19:56] Speaker 1: us more. So I'm super grateful that they did, you know,
[19:58] Speaker 1: because now we're here. As well as being a carpenter,
[20:02] Speaker 1: I work on a passion project, which is my online coaching.
[20:04] Speaker 1: So I put a lot of effort into that. I'm
[20:06] Speaker 1: going to tell you exactly why being in Bali is
[20:09] Speaker 1: the absolute best all-around setup if you want to live
[20:12] Speaker 1: that fit, clean, healthy lifestyle whilst you're doing it. So
[20:18] Speaker 1: I do personal development coaching tailored to people in construction
[20:23] Speaker 1: and just men in general. There's a mental health crisis
[20:27] Speaker 1: and there's a kind of like a generation of men.
[20:29] Speaker 1: They're not looking after their health, their nutrition, their lifestyle.
[20:33] Speaker 1: And I just tackle the root of that. Knowing that
[20:35] Speaker 1: you're making a difference, I love it. But in saying
[20:39] Speaker 1: that two years ago, it was a totally different story.
[20:43] Speaker 1: I used to be a little bit of a party boy.
[20:45] Speaker 1: literally living for the weekend. And one day, I literally
[20:49] Speaker 1: thought to myself, my parents come to this country for
[20:52] Speaker 1: me to just be an absolute piece of, you know, like,
[20:55] Speaker 1: what are you doing? That was the very last time
[20:57] Speaker 1: that I had a drink and staying fit, active lifestyle.
[21:00] Speaker 1: I wasn't ready to get into something serious until then.
[21:05] Speaker 3: What sort of partner do you think would be ideal
[21:07] Speaker 3: for you?
[21:07] Speaker 1: Just someone who looks after themselves, who likes to prioritise fitness, family. Discipline,
[21:15] Speaker 1: for the most part. And someone that can think for
[21:17] Speaker 1: themselves as well. I'm looking for beauty with substance. I
[21:22] Speaker 1: definitely know that she's out there.
[21:28] Speaker 2: So my theory here is, and I'm not a psychologist,
[21:30] Speaker 2: but I reckon Philip has always, to some extent, held
[21:34] Speaker 2: some kind of mild traditional views about how men should
[21:38] Speaker 2: provide and all of that. But overall... And from the
[21:41] Speaker 2: man we saw on TV and his content prior to Maths,
[21:43] Speaker 2: it felt like his passion is just lay with focusing
[21:47] Speaker 2: on how men can better themselves in the sense of
[21:50] Speaker 2: looking after their mental health and their fitness and spending
[21:54] Speaker 2: more time being present in the world instead of being
[21:56] Speaker 2: stuck endlessly swiping on the apps. And then alongside that,
[22:00] Speaker 2: I'd say he's also always been someone who has craved
[22:04] Speaker 2: a relationship and loving that sense of partnership, like as
[22:08] Speaker 2: you heard in the backstory that he saw his parents have.
[22:12] Speaker 2: And I suppose he thought he found that in Stella
[22:15] Speaker 2: or he did find that for a while at least.
[22:17] Speaker 2: And now after that's ended, like however it ended and
[22:22] Speaker 2: throw in the public scrutiny that came with that and
[22:24] Speaker 2: the side taking of the followers that I suppose they
[22:27] Speaker 2: never had this time last year, he seems to have
[22:30] Speaker 2: just become like quite bitter in my opinion. And like,
[22:35] Speaker 2: there's a running theme in all of his videos. And
[22:37] Speaker 2: I watched them all not just uh the snippets I've
[22:40] Speaker 2: played in this but the running theme is like he's
[22:43] Speaker 2: constantly saying like how great his life is how thankful
[22:47] Speaker 2: he is that he can just go anywhere and do
[22:49] Speaker 2: what he wants and he's not tied down and he's
[22:51] Speaker 2: constantly like insinuating that women limit men and restrict them
[22:56] Speaker 2: and hold them back but every time he's saying this
[22:59] Speaker 2: like my life's so great he's sat alone in his
[23:02] Speaker 2: car in an empty car park outside the gym or
[23:05] Speaker 2: alone in like his bedroom and half the time, like,
[23:09] Speaker 2: it just feels like he's saying this to try convince himself,
[23:13] Speaker 2: and all the other stuff he's saying, like, it seems
[23:15] Speaker 2: that it stems from what, a place of trying to
[23:19] Speaker 2: rebuild after a breakup, and I'm guessing heartbreak, but he's
[23:23] Speaker 2: then seen how it's kind of connecting with men, so
[23:27] Speaker 2: he's leaning into it more, because, you know, as I've
[23:30] Speaker 2: mentioned several times, this financial motive behind it with his
[23:34] Speaker 2: one-on-one courses, so he's now trapped in like this cycle,
[23:39] Speaker 2: actually not trapped because he's choosing to do this, but
[23:41] Speaker 2: he's now in this cycle of pushing more and more
[23:45] Speaker 2: polarizing and extreme views because he's gaining from it. And
[23:48] Speaker 2: maybe he doesn't realize the broader ramifications in society of
[23:55] Speaker 2: what he's doing here and what he's part of and
[23:57] Speaker 2: what I've spoken about in this episode. Or maybe he
[24:00] Speaker 2: does and just the financial rewards outweigh that for him.
[24:04] Speaker 2: Or maybe This is just a real Philip and this
[24:07] Speaker 2: is who he's been all along and on the show.
[24:10] Speaker 2: Anything that would maybe suggest this was cut out because
[24:13] Speaker 2: remember Channel 9 needed him and Stella to be the
[24:17] Speaker 2: perfect couple with the fairy tale ending because without them,
[24:21] Speaker 2: they didn't have a success story. And please don't confuse
[24:26] Speaker 2: this ending here as me excusing him in any way
[24:29] Speaker 2: or trying to come up with a theory that would
[24:31] Speaker 2: defend him. what he's doing, because I think it's actually
[24:34] Speaker 2: fucked and it's toxic and it's dangerous. I suppose I'm
[24:37] Speaker 2: just trying to make sense of how and why someone
[24:42] Speaker 2: can change so quickly and so extremely.
[24:48] Speaker 1: See ya.
