Welcome To J-Rud’s World!

Episode Three of the Mantastic4 is all about the incomparable Joe Rudman, AKA J-Rud. As the youngest member of the cast, J-Rud is a wealth of knowledge and advice that people across his social media platforms just eat up. But who really is the guy in J-Rud’s world and what is “it” and what is “it” really in fact about?

With J-Rud being the youngest member of the cast the question on everyone’s mind is; what drove him to have a red pill way of thinking so early on in his adult life? In Episode 3, J-Rud delves into the story of how in 2017, his girlfriend at the time faked a pregnancy in order to keep the relationship going. This led to him questioning himself, as well as the women he interacted with romantically. In an effort to try and educate himself on both male and female behavior, J-Rud took to social media discovering so many voices across multiple platforms pushing out red-pill content that he resonated with. J-Rud uses his platform to educate and give advice to both men and women on how to have healthier interactions with one another and is a voice to men across the manosphere.

WIth all of his charisma and charm, J-Rud hails from a small farming town in California. His home life is like that of HGTV Reality Series. He lives with his adoptive parents and adopted mixed race siblings on a small farm that houses goats and other livestock. He has a nice security job, while doing social media, and writing music. When asked where he sees himself in the future, near and far, J-Rud hopes to become a motivational speaker across the country and eventually worldwide. He hopes to be able to speak life into young men and become a positive role model for a healthy mindset. 

J-Rud has had his fair share of mentors, and in Episode 3 he drives home the importance of having a mentor as a young man. Having someone to look up to that is older than you or is at the level that you want to be at is key to having a mobile, goal setting mindset. J-Rud drives home the point that in order to utilize mentors correctly, you, as a mentee sometimes have to just shut up and listen. In order to learn and understand from someone, you have to know when silence is the best tool.

Who is Black Spider Guy?

Black Spider Guy Advice, one of the four members of the Mantastic4, is a social media personality popular on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Taking to multiple platforms to educate today's generation of men, how to navigate the manosphere and not fall victim to blue pill ideologies. But who is the guy behind the mask? In the second episode of The Mantastic4 Podcast, the guys sit Black Spider Guy in the hot seat and delve deeper into who he is and how he became that way.

The question on everyone’s mind when it comes to Black Spider Guy definitely starts with; ‘Why the mask?’ The answer is simple really, outside of his genuine comfort being behind a mask, it is a way to protect his identity as he endeavors into conversations about the war on masculinity. In a world where cancel culture is prevalent, he has found a way to not only entertain the masses but also provide himself a form of security. It’s an ingenious marketing tactic. 

But what about Spider Guy’s origins? Where does he come from? 

He’s the oldest of two boys in a two parent household. With stark differences between the parenting tactics of his mom and his dad, Spider Guy gravitates and attests a lot of his journey into the manosphere to his father. His father, although a hard working, well rounded, empathetic man taught Spider Guy everything he didn’t want to be when he grew up. Throughout his childhood and into adulthood, the fact that his father was suffering behind the scenes in life and within his marriage became more prevalent and gave Spider Guy a glimpse into what the fate of a blue pill guy is like. 

Spider Guys’ goal is to send his father on vacation one day a testament to the growth in generational wealth and ideas. As the oldest son, Spider Guy understands the importance of carrying on his fathers legacy and honors him by becoming the best man he can be. 

Aside from his upbringing, a question that is always asked to many men within the manosphere is “Who hurt you?”. For Spider Guy, the answer was simple. A lot of people. For him the question then becomes not about who, but what he did in reaction to the hurt. He chose to educate people. Spider Guy was able to process his own pain and emotions and understand how many people have been, will be, or have already dealt with some of the situations he has been in, and he saw an opportunity to be a voice to the masses of unguided men. 

One of the many lessons he aims to teach men is to be able to take constructive criticism. Due to the fact that Spider Guy comes from an upbringing that pushed blue pill ideologies on him, he would have benefitted had he listened to people who told him that he doesn’t have to just put women on a pedestal in order to gain their affections. He also would have realized that sometimes emotions don’t need to be at the forefront of interactions and utilizing logic and reason doesn’t have to be frowned upon.

Delve deeper into the world of Spider Guy, the way he processes things, his goals for his future relationships, and his thoughts behind why more and more men are being silenced on social media. Be sure to be on the lookout for Episode Three, when J Rud takes to the hot seat.

Origin Story

On the premiere episode of the Mantastic Four Podcast, meet the four fated heroes coming together to avenge masculinity for the world! Four solid dudes who connected over the need to educate men on just how exactly to conduct yourself in a world where masculine men are in decline. All four members of the Mantastic Four take to social media to spread their views and teach the masses of men who have taken the “blue pill” and lost their way.

This first episode is all about the Mantasitc Four origin story. Who are the members? Where did they come from? What are their goals for the “Manosphere”?

Chuck “Daddy” Kohout (@chuck.kohout) is up first. “How did he get the nickname ‘Daddy’?”, you might ask. Well check him out on his social media and you’ll find out. Chuck is the glue that stuck this group of four together. Stumbling upon the manosphere on accident, after repeatedly getting banned on Tik Tok but always finding that the same group of people always found him again, he began to flesh out a friendship with them. Upon realizing that the group shared similar views and similar problems with their content being taken down, criticised, or banned altogether, he decided that he should connect them altogether and form a like-minded team. Chuck's goal with being a part of the Mantastic Four is to establish a man's point of view in the ongoing conversations about the relationships between men and women and do some good for MAN-kind.

Black Spider Guy (@BlackSpiderGuyAdvice) wasn’t born into the manosphere he was created to fight for it. After spending much of his life being a “blue pill” guy who placed women on a pedestal due to the fact that he grew up in a two-parent household in which his mother was able to skewer his views. After an incident with a girl in college who slept with who he thought was his best friend, Spider Guy took a look at himself and realized that change was necessary in order for him to become a strong man. He could no longer stand by as women walked over the nice guys and treated them like they were expendable but would continue to cry and chase after the men who treated them like shit. Soon he realized just how many men were stuck in this blue pill phase of life, men didn’t want to be men anymore. He hopes to help the younger generation of men who need guidance in becoming strong men.

J Rud (@joe_rudman) stumbled upon the manishpere after a situation where his girlfriend at the time faked a pregnancy that left his mind reeling. It sent him into a “women ain’t shit” mentality that eventually led to him starting a journey of educating himself through social media on how to still have a positive experience with women. From his experiences he hopes to teach men how to be men. Similar to the rest of the cast, he sees a need for a well-rounded education in many areas like dating, life advice, any area that they need guidance in. He also takes his time to learn why women act the way they do and uses that as tools within his experiences with them. J Rud is the common voice of the cast, he finds a way to speak positivity into any situation and in any man.

Paul (@ComeOnManPodcast) dived back into the world of women after getting divorced in 2014. Considering himself a blue pill guy at the time he met a woman who he considered himself in love with, he dated her and was with her for about four years. Then she ripped his heart out. He found himself back in the dating circuit again this time more fit than before and ready to take the game head on. The problem was women weren’t staying around long enough for any kind of relationship to stick. He began to question what the fuck he was doing wrong, and that lead him to the world of self-help books about dating as a man and how to redefine the way he was dating in order to benefit him. He changed his system for dating and started to “spin plates” juggling more than one woman at once, not putting all of his eggs in one basket. Within the manosphere he agrees with the other members of the team in the fact that men need to learn about being men, but he also brings to light that marriage laws favor women more than they favor men, and more men need to learn about that.
