Goog show, Philko or
Philochko as he likes to be called IMHO "is to Youtubesphere what RooshV is to the manosphere". By his own account he has over 4 million views on youtube and several million on VK.com. Having watched a few of his video's I suspect
most of his followers are the under 30 demographic, internationally based and with plenty of followers across both genders. He has carved a niche for himself and seems in no way to be slowing down, releasing multiple videos & posts every day not just on Russian culture-events, but on International happenings as well.
This guy is very outgoing, good looking, smart, and very opinionated(check his other videos, of which there are 100s). I wouldn't be surprised if "he was already talking while being delivered in the ER"
He is a natural extrovert and not shy to peacock, wears hip-hop clothes even on the mean streets of Moscow,
traveling all over Russia and visiting all 1st tier and 2nd tier cities. I would put him as top 5% of all black guys who visit & work in Russia in terms of success in his field.
This guy has spent most of the last 4 years immersing himself in Russian culture and language & developing a niche in the ESL internet industry & becoming a social media personality via self-promotion online. Funny thing is he has BETA traits as he originally came to Russia because of a girl and even mentions around the 3:00 mark
that it's about the girls. (I doubt he would have gone to Russia if there were few good looking women and they were very conservative society(i.e., many middle eastern countries).
Nevertheless he managed to turn this goal into Alpha
game by getting invited/sponsored by multiple Russian companies. See his explanation here
so the pussy now is just a side benefit. It's interesting that he pulls off a VERY GOOD living and has almost
all his expenses covered by local companies. Initially the guy came from the ghetto and spent his own money and time every day to produce videos and to try to become popular. He has certainly paid his dues!
So my comments about the "fresh off the boat" video :
3:42 mark, primal racism/caveman racism - hes got that right, Russians are definitely not shy about speaking their mind.
4:39 mark, he mentions cops bothering foreigners and looking for a bribe; hollering at you (reminds me of Odessa when me and my wingman were night-gaming local girls and all of a sudden the local cop group grew from 1 to 4 cops and started following us). "Racial profiling" is a foreign term over there.
7:38 mark, chick has that typical Russian Blondie 7+ look (very nice!)
8:50-9:10 mark, As a Russophile I have experienced plenty of episodes in the FSU of local guys talking behind a westerners back...
the conversation of the 2 Russian guys from his video team and the use of the N word is classic Russian guy mindset.
10:25 - 10:30 mark, Eddie Huang throws up and passes out is funny sh!t. Don't want to stereotype Asians BUT Eddie Huang definitely stereo-types them whether he wants to or not. As in the stereo-type that Asians have low tolerance and can't hold their liquor.
11:20 mark, Eddie Huang has the hots for the Asian-Russian chick...damn that is nice! With his humour and American comedian angle he could be having girls like that every day in Russia.
Ain't it funny that Philochko is nowhere to be seen on the metro when Eddie is traveling. Wonder if he always travels by taxi/private car for safety!?
