Digital Social Hour
Rollo Tomassi: I Wasn’t Supposed To Win That Dr. Phil Debate | DSH #1563
11 Oct 2025
Chapter 1: What challenges do content creators face in today's digital landscape?
Was that an ambush?
Chapter 2: What is the significance of Rollo's new project 'Reignite'?
I didn't watch that episode. When I had gone on Dr. Phil back in 2021, they were expecting me to be some sort of frothing at the mouth misogynist who couldn't stand the sight of a woman or something.
Chapter 3: How has YouTube evolved and what are its current challenges?
And to the point where it's like, I've got an answer for everything. And they weren't expecting that. And I don't think a lot of other people are expecting that either because they need you to be that cartoon character.
All right, guys. Got him back on today. Rolo. Hey. What's new, man? Thanks for having me back. Thanks for just calling me out of the blue.
Chapter 4: What impact do short clips have on public perception and discourse?
Yeah.
You been going to Wet Republic a lot lately? No, not yet. Probably July or August, I think. Yeah.
Chapter 5: How does the Red Pill movement influence men's lives today?
Let's see. What you been working on lately in the pod? So I've got... Jeez, I got a lot of irons in the fire. Um, I'm working on a sixth book right now. Um, I have a new program called reignite, which is sort of, um, it's a, it's a community guys.
It's sort of, um, a tribe of guys, but it was, um, an idea I had with a good friend of mine, Joe Marone, and, uh, they were part of Mike Sartain's, uh, men of action, uh,
Chapter 6: What misconceptions exist about public figures in the manosphere?
And he and I just sort of saw a need there. And we're like, you know, there's a lot of guys who are like sort of older. And, you know, I just turned 57. So happy birthday. Thank you. It was back in April. And so we sort of, Joe and I are about the same age. And we thought, you know, a lot of guys are trying to rebuild their lives. They're trying to sort of just make sense of it all.
Like a lot of guys are coming out of like some really bad relationships or bad marriages after marriage. 20 plus years. And, you know, the, I mean, the prime demographic for guys who are like prone to like deleting themselves are right around 43, 45, somewhere around there between 45 and 65 somewhere. Midlife. And yeah, more or less, but it's usually just sort of like this, you know,
Um, midlife epiphany, I think is probably a better, better term for it, but they're just, they don't understand the intricacies of the sexual marketplace. Um, and in many cases they're coming out of relationships that might've been 20, 25 years.
Chapter 7: What insights does Rollo share about the OnlyFans platform?
Right. And so, um, so we decided we were going to put together this group called reignite. And, um, then we had a lot of people saying, well, if I'm not 45 years old, can I do it? And I'm like, yeah, there's no age limit. It's just basically for guys who are just trying to rebuild themselves and put themselves back together.
And so where we kind of differ from what Mike's been doing is we kind of play defense and Mike's sort of offense. Yeah. He's got a younger crowd, right? Yeah.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of Rollo's upcoming docuseries?
Well, I mean, if we were a football team, he'd be the offensive coordinator and I'd be the defensive coordinator. I love it. That's why you two work well together. Oh, Mike and I are just, he's like, he's like a brother to me. So. Um, but we do a lot of good work together. Um, and so, uh, Joe and I have been doing this for almost a year now.
Um, and it's starting to take on a character of its own. And so we did, and we do a lot of, you know, fun events. It's not like a, it's not like a mastermind or classroom setting or anything like that. It's just like fun.
guys getting together and and doing things that we like to do and then having good discussions because that's how men communicate right it's like we have to have a project or we have to have a problem to solve collectively and that's where real communication takes place between guys so
Um, you know, if we go deep sea fishing or if we go, uh, to the shooting range or if we go play golf or whatever their particular shared interests are. Um, so we try to do a schedule event. We do probably, you know, maybe four or five events a year, but we have a community and stuff. So that's one project I'm working on. And then the book reignite is a, uh, sort of inspired by that.
So I'm using the book as sort of a primer, I guess, for the guys in the program. And then, gosh, beyond that, we're still doing Access Vegas. We've been almost three years now. And still doing my show, The Rational Male, every Sunday, 1 p.m. Pacific, 4 p.m. Eastern. Um, but, uh, making YouTube work these days is, uh, is quite a challenge. Um, yeah.
Um, being shadow banned, um, being on a DHS watch list, being a part of a NGO, uh, experiment over the last 18 months, two years. Um, which was funny because I can remember when the biannual report came out for, uh, for, uh, the NGO, which is called diverting hate here.
Um, when they first came out with the biannual report and then of course they promptly took it down from, from public consumption. Um, everybody thought it was being very, um, conspiratorial and now suddenly, um, we have a hundred percent confirmation of it and everybody wants to sort of jump on board and, um, you know, pretend that they've always been a part of that.
Well, um, I was part of a select group of people who were sort of Guinea pigs for, for, um, a program that was meant, uh, in intentionally designed, I should say to redirect my traffic and rich Cooper's traffic, fresh and fits traffic, uh, Aaron Clary's traffic, um, to state approved or, um, positive masculinity sites, whatever that means.
And people didn't really want to believe that it was a, you know, funneled money through the DHS to, what was it, the McCain Institute at ASU. And then it goes to the NGOs from there. So it's almost like money laundering, but it's taxpayer dollar money laundering.
