Clavicular
If you're going to take out hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of loans, you might as well invest it into surgery rather than going to school.
Adam Friedland
What if you could be a plastic surgeon?
Clavicular
And by the way, you can actually get college loans and use it for surgery. So this is a method. So I've been. I've been telling people, yeah, you can literally do that. So just misappropriating the funds, it's really not going to get you in that much trouble. And you'll mog so you'll be able to sort of get out of sa.
Adam Friedland
Welcome to a very special episode of the Adam Friedland Show. It's Adam Friedland. We're gonna get right into it. My guest this week is controversial kick streamer and looks maxer. Clavicular. That guy. Clavicular has enjoyed quite the meteoric rise over the last six months, thanks in part to a series of livestream controversies that have put him on the social radar of anyone and everyone that has a social media feed. I wonder if our parents. You think our parents do. My mom knows. Your mom knows because your mom's horny. Okay. Now, I'm no fan of the things this young man has said about various groups like women, the LGBT community, and especially Jews. What has he. I didn't know that. You didn't know that? Yeah. What does he say about it? It's not. Again, we'll talk about it later. But the bad ones, right? The bad Jews. But I think it's important to view clavicular as a symptom, a symptom of something much deeper, something much darker, perhaps a cultural virus that has plagued the country, the world, perhaps for the last decade. And I'm talking about, of course, I don't have to say it, but none other than video game player and pickup artist extraordinaire Hassan Piker. Our younger generation has grown up idealizing this man who uses a preternatural fashion sense as a tool for sexual persuasion. How many times have you seen young men at the store or perhaps the mall wearing this exact outfit, attempting to mold themselves into a man who's quite frankly, an anti Semite. Anti Semite of the year, mind you. A man who views women as workers, A man who livestreams everything he does, makes it about politics. A man who's not even as big as his dog. Folks, I'm hoping this interview will be a wake up call for everyone who's watching it to stop supporting the monster Hassan P. Care. So please enjoy my interview with Clef. Hell, Jesus Christ. But he use a phone? Why is he using that? Anyway, so please enjoy my interview with Clavicular, everyone. It's gonna be a good one. I think it'll be a good one. Ladies and gentlemen, the number one streamer on Kickstarter. Give it up for Clavicular, everyone. Thanks for having me. Dude, how you doing? You're in New York City doing great, man. You're enjoying it?
Clavicular
It's a little cold for me, but.
Adam Friedland
Honestly, like, I'm 38 years old and I'm like, learning about looks, maxing and stuff. Like. Like, I do a lot of research for the show and I feel like. I just feel so. Like a boomer. I feel like, so foreign from the youth of today. I feel like it's. I'm learning like a new fucking language or something like that.
Clavicular
Right? Yeah. All of the terms are quite comical. But, you know, you're not in your own world with not knowing about this whole looks max thing. It's kind of a new thing that's popped up over the past few months, I would say, to the mainstream. Right. It's been.
Adam Friedland
It existed in forums for years. Right?
Clavicular
Right. Yeah, no, it's been around for years and it had sort of a explosion on TikTok back in 2023 where, like, the kids knew about it, but now it's kind of pushing to X and like, you know, people in your demographic a little bit, so.
Adam Friedland
Shut up. What does that mean? Demographic? What is my demographic?
Clavicular
Old cells.
Adam Friedland
Old cells, yeah. What does that mean? Celibacy? Just, like, I get pussy. Shut the up. I get mad.
Clavicular
No, it's not like when I was poor. That's just one of the terms that we use.
Adam Friedland
My sexual market value is just through the roof.
Clavicular
We'll just add sell to the end of a descriptor. Really old cell.
Adam Friedland
So what is your role in this ecosystem? How would you define your. The place that you exist within that?
Clavicular
I would say I'm kind of the cultural leader in the lux maxing world, you know, because not a lot of people are super well versed, you know, they're not willing to go the distance, do whatever it takes kind of to ascend through any and every mechanism out there available to them. So I was like, okay, let's, you know, take this to its logical conclusion, you know, with biohacking with, you know, whatever form of ascension necessary.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Are there other, like, are there ops that are trying to come for that number one spot? Do you have to defend the throne?
Clavicular
Not that I know about.
Adam Friedland
Are you the hottest guy? Is that what you're saying? No, no, no, no.
Clavicular
Well, that's just.
Adam Friedland
You just know the most about looks back.
Clavicular
See, Right, well, that's the goal of the game, right, Is to MOG other people.
Adam Friedland
Right. Tell the boomer cells about what that is.
Clavicular
So mogging is essentially just outperforming them, looking better than them, and just sort of dominating. Right. It came from something called amog, which was alpha male of the group. Then it was shortened to just mog. So that's kind of like the term we use when someone is just like outshining another person in a photo or whatever. So if that comes along and happens to me. Right. That's just kind of like almost biblical, you know?
Adam Friedland
Have you been mogged by another? By another man?
Clavicular
I've definitely been mogged, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Adam Friedland
How does it feel to get mogged?
Clavicular
It's not a great feeling.
Adam Friedland
It feels bad. It's just that a guy is more.
Clavicular
Beautiful than you or just it could be through a whole plethora of different things. Maybe they have more money than you. They could money MOG you. They could status MOG you.
Adam Friedland
Okay. Do you only chill with handsome guys?
Clavicular
No, no, I chill with.
Adam Friedland
You have normie friends?
Clavicular
I do have normie friends.
Adam Friedland
And what's your perception of those guys? That they're like, you feel bad for them?
Clavicular
I try not to think about it too much. It's kind of just like the only thing that I'm kind of talking about when I discuss looks, maxing and the importance of looks is you could try your hardest not to acknowledge someone being ugly or good looking, but at the end of the day, it's a subconscious bias that everyone's gonna have and it's unavoidable. Right. So just because I know the exact facial ratios that make someone good looking or not good looking, it doesn't mean that everyone doesn't instinctually know them already.
Adam Friedland
It makes sense to me. The basic premise that society rewards attractiveness, Right? Yes. Yeah. Correct. It's kind of obvious, right? Yeah. Do you think it's like a revolutionary concept because it's like you're just saying something that's always existed, Right? Right.
Clavicular
Yeah. No, I think it's quite logical. And that's why I would say that most of my messaging is so well received, because it seems to me so beyond obvious that you're better looking, you have better treatment in almost every aspect of life. And this is something that's also quite well researched. Right. You know, you look at prison sentencing for good looking people versus people who are Less attractive. It's quite clear that it's a huge advantage to have in life.
Adam Friedland
You think you beat the case recently cause you're a hottie?
Clavicular
No comment.
Adam Friedland
No comment. But did you like, you pumped before you walked into the courthouse?
Clavicular
No, I didn't pump.
Adam Friedland
Did you wear something slutty so the judge could see?
Clavicular
No, I was fixing my hair in that one mirror. The curved one? Yeah. In the courthouse.
Adam Friedland
I would throw your ass away for life. Personally. Yeah. To ugly jail. I'd send you to ugly jail. Brutal. I'm just playing. I'm just playing, dog. Wait, so you came with your boys? That's your camera guy?
Clavicular
Temporary.
Adam Friedland
Why? You're about to fire him?
Clavicular
No, no, no, my other.
Adam Friedland
What's your name? Come up and say. Say what up to the crowd or to the audience? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Say we come up and say hi. Yeah. Say name, age, body count.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Haha. Yeah, yeah. You don't have a body count? I'm yours.
Clavicular
Social Security number one.
Adam Friedland
And body count like lower double digits? Lower double digits? Like 10? I don't really count. Lower double digits. A bizarre way to say that. Well, double digits implies like 50s. That's too high.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Okay, so what's your body count? I don't count. Do you guys ever run two mans together or. No, not yet. Not yet. Not yet. One day it's like threesome. Yeah, one day like a devil's three way with you and your. You're in the white shot right now. Okay, sorry, I'm just like, let's get back into you. I want it like because it's been like really fucking fast your ascent, right?
Clavicular
That's right.
Adam Friedland
Mr. B says you're about to be the number one guy I saw clip.
Clavicular
Yes, he said that if he were to invest in any content creator who's up and coming, it would be myself. I'm not really too sure what that.
Adam Friedland
Means, but it sounds like a little bit sinister. Yeah, maybe a little bit. But dude, that guy kind of tortures poor people, don't you think?
Clavicular
I don't know too much about that. That's been speculated. No, I think people just kind of call into questions stuff about some of the budgeting maybe not being the greatest.
Adam Friedland
What does that mean though?
Clavicular
So they're doing like the team water thing, right? In Africa where it's like a charity project.
Adam Friedland
Wells. Yeah, for Africa, the wells.
Clavicular
And people were like, is $40 million really necessary? And you know, personally, I have no idea how any cost for the wells and well, that's what people are speculating I have no fucking idea. Quite honestly. I don't think anyone has any idea how much it costs to, you know, run a water project in Africa.
Adam Friedland
An interesting thing that you talk about is kind of like how economy that you were presented with at your age. The world that you were promised wasn't a better future. Right? Like, how would you explain that?
Clavicular
So essentially, what I always say is looks maxing is just another version of self improvement. And I'm simply stating that in terms of ascending your sexual market value, which means how valued you are by women, how easily you're gonna succeed in the dating market. It's a lot easier to improve your looks and improve your SMV by that metric than it is to overcome certain disparities with your finances or improving your status. Because what needs to be accomplished is so much greater than people could ever imagine to have equal results, right? So it's like, let's say you ascend. Making even seven figures a year sounds like an incredible number. And it is.
Adam Friedland
When you're a kid, you're like, that's the most money ever.
Clavicular
True. Real. I mean, especially when you live in big cities. So that's the thing, right? People get to these, like, insanely good milestones and then they're expecting these results and they're not coming.
Adam Friedland
Like getting pussy, you mean? Or like.
Clavicular
Well, the fact of the matter is looks are valued a lot greater in these big cities with how shit the economy is. That's really not getting you as far as you think.
Adam Friedland
You know, you could just also just move to New York because there's like so many gay guys that. There's just more straight women than straight guys. It's a hack.
Clavicular
Or you could just look smacks.
Adam Friedland
Have you seen Seinfeld before?
Clavicular
No.
Adam Friedland
George Costanza was like, on dates with elevens. And it's real. It's real.
Clavicular
That's actually what happens for any of the pop culture references we are.
Adam Friedland
No. You don't know any shows or movies?
Clavicular
Not. Not like anything before, like 2015.
Adam Friedland
So like transformers, like four?
Clavicular
No.
Adam Friedland
No. What's your favorite movie?
Clavicular
Favorite movie?
Adam Friedland
Oh, that's a tough one. Jester. Movies are Jester.
Clavicular
Movies are kind of jester.
Adam Friedland
And sports is. Oh, yeah, you hate sports.
Clavicular
Yeah. Movies I could, you know, put up with every once in a while.
Adam Friedland
What's the best one?
Clavicular
Let me think. The most enjoyable movie.
Adam Friedland
Dude, you gotta not go back to Miami. Just come chill with me and the.
Clavicular
Lads tonight and just watch movies.
Adam Friedland
Have you seen Moneyball?
Clavicular
I have. That's a good movie.
Adam Friedland
So us that movie. So Us. Have you seen it? I love it.
Clavicular
Yeah, I like the. The movie Limitless.
Adam Friedland
You kind of are a Limitless style guy.
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Friedland
Is that kind of what having like a stack is? Is. Is like being limit. Justin Timberlake, or is this guy in Limitless.
Clavicular
Bradley.
Adam Friedland
Bradley Cooper?
Clavicular
Yeah. Yeah. So it kind of feels that way when you first start taking stimulants. Yeah, a little bit.
Adam Friedland
For me, I just write long emails to people that I haven't talked to in four years. So you grew up outside the city? Hoboken?
Clavicular
Yes.
Adam Friedland
And you've been staying with your family?
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Are you close with them?
Clavicular
Yeah, I talk to them a fair bit. Just online, usually. I haven't seen them in person for about a year before this week.
Adam Friedland
You talk to them online? What do you mean?
Clavicular
Like, just over the phone?
Adam Friedland
Oh, that's on the phone. That's not online?
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
You have a sister? Younger sister?
Clavicular
I do.
Adam Friedland
Are you close with her?
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. How many years apart?
Clavicular
She is turning 16, so four years.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, me and my sister are four years. Okay. Yep. Yeah. We gotta fucking protect our sisters, indeed. Yeah. My sister is my dog. We're, like, very close. You like Springseed? Who? Bruce Springsteen. He's like New Jersey. He's like a rocker dude. I gotta put him on his songs. I gotta put him on the movies. We got a movie Max and Song Max. At some point, the two of us as dogs. Your parents are also. They're bodybuilders. Is that right?
Clavicular
Back in the day before I was.
Adam Friedland
Born, you know, they were competitive, like Mr. Olympia.
Clavicular
No, not that. Like, that's the top of the top competition. Yeah, you know, just local stuff, you know?
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Jersey.
Clavicular
My mom.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, your mom was.
Clavicular
Yeah, not my dad.
Adam Friedland
You had a jacked mom?
Clavicular
Yeah, before I was born.
Adam Friedland
Whoa. I wonder what it would be like to have a jack. What was it like to have a jacked mom?
Clavicular
I don't know.
Adam Friedland
You don't know? Your mom was. Oh, before you were born?
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. You had hot parents?
Clavicular
That's kind of a weird question.
Adam Friedland
I had a hot mom and a disgusting father. Yeah, I'm fine saying it. I did the measurements on their eyes and stuff.
Clavicular
Okay. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Did your dad teach you how to work out?
Clavicular
No, I kind of just figured it out on my own because we had a home gym that I would just dick around in when I was. Was growing up. And then I got my first gym membership and kind of would just watch, like, you know, various.
Adam Friedland
Rich. Piano Rich.
Clavicular
Yes.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. He was a night. He was a Psycho. I loved him.
Clavicular
Yeah, I loved rich, too. Unfortunately, 99% of the shit he was doing is the complete opposite of what the literature suggests.
Adam Friedland
I can't believe it. I can't believe that he was doing this. Rest in peace, you God.
Clavicular
He was a great guy, but his mentality.
Adam Friedland
Did he die from steroids or can he die from steroids?
Clavicular
It definitely had a role in his passing, unfortunately. But you can die from steroids?
Adam Friedland
Yes.
Clavicular
It's putting a strain on your organs, you know? So when I talk about steroids and testosterone usage, it's put into the same category as these bodybuilding guys who are dying prematurely. But it's not a binary thing. Right. It's extremely dose dependent. So when you're talking about trt or slightly above that, that's not comparable with bodybuilders who are using about 10 or 20 times the dosage.
Adam Friedland
Does your dick get smaller or your balls.
Clavicular
Your balls.
Adam Friedland
Your balls get smaller? Yes. It kind of makes your dick look bigger.
Clavicular
Probably correct.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
Proportionality.
Adam Friedland
It's probably true. Yeah. I should do. Dude, I have long balls.
Clavicular
Wait, what?
Adam Friedland
Nothing. Would you swipe your V? Like, 11, probably.
Clavicular
No, 16.
Adam Friedland
16. All right. That's a responsible age.
Clavicular
Yeah, I thought so.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. So you got into looks maxing prior to.
Clavicular
Yes.
Adam Friedland
Getting shaped. Yeah. Was that a motivation? Those, like, message boards.
Clavicular
That was. But, you know, that wasn't necessarily the only thing I was thinking about at the time. It was more just like an objective, this will improve the quality of my life mentality. Yeah. And that was just one of the results of that, I guess you could say.
Adam Friedland
When did you start? Like 14.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Okay. Were you in COVID lockdown?
Clavicular
I was, yeah. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Did you start?
Clavicular
Yeah, well, that was when I was eighth grade and freshman.
Adam Friedland
This fucking sucks. Yeah. You had to, like, be at home with your parents the whole time.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
If I, like, couldn't see my friends every day, it would just fucking suck. Yeah. So you got, like. You were online a lot during lockdown?
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah, I was. I was definitely on the Internet probably 14 hours a day.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Yep.
Clavicular
Video games, whatever.
Adam Friedland
We don't talk about it enough, like, culturally about how that sucked for kids.
Clavicular
Yeah, I don't really think it was that bad for most people, not gonna lie. Especially this generation. I think a lot of people just got to sit on their Xbox all day and not have to do any schoolwork. I don't really think that anyone was too upset by the whole process, but.
Adam Friedland
It probably, like, made it harder, like, to be, like, socialized. Right.
Clavicular
Well, I wasn't doing that anyway.
Adam Friedland
Were you a loner growing up?
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Your obsession prior to looks backstain was Nerf guns.
Clavicular
No, that's just one.
Adam Friedland
What's that all about?
Clavicular
That was one when I was like, you know, 8 or 9 years old.
Adam Friedland
How many Nerf guns do you have?
Clavicular
Not anymore.
Adam Friedland
Come on, dude. You talk about it. We all.
Clavicular
I said it one time, but that's good research.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. I know everything about you, dog. Wait, did you get obsessed with things growing up? Was that like an aspect of your personality?
Clavicular
Yeah, that was kind of the point I was trying to make.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. What other things were you obsessed with?
Clavicular
Was pretty obsessed with, like, GTA 5, I would say.
Adam Friedland
Obviously. Far.
Clavicular
I rotted on that for hours a day. Like minimum 10 hours every single day during COVID So it'd just be that kind of stuff. Just getting super hyper fixated.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
Random shit.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. So I think that's pretty normal.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Video games for kids.
Clavicular
Yeah, I guess. But just only playing one thing for. I have no idea.
Adam Friedland
I play sports games because I'm cool.
Clavicular
Okay.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. FIFA 2K.
Clavicular
Yeah. I wish I was that cool.
Adam Friedland
I don't trust a guy that doesn't like sports, honestly. You can't trust a guy that does like sports. You can't trust a guy that doesn't. Goes on seven dick appointments a week. Do you have seven dick appointments a week? That would suck. It's a lonely feeling actually being one of those guys.
Clavicular
What's that?
Adam Friedland
Nothing, bro. What are you guys. Is your camera guy. Do you guys. Are you roommates? Yeah.
Clavicular
Yep.
Adam Friedland
We're at Brickell.
Clavicular
No, thank God.
Adam Friedland
Where do you live in Miami?
Clavicular
Just no comment. But not.
Adam Friedland
Oh, no. Yeah. I don't want to talk. Yeah.
Clavicular
I would say that Brickell is probably the worst place that you can possibly live if you're an influencer.
Adam Friedland
You know, this is all influencers.
Clavicular
It's all wannabe influencers.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
You want to stop you for a street interview when you're trying to get a coffee?
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Like, do one of those.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Was your. Would you. Would you let your girl get a train run?
Clavicular
That's what they all say, right? Yeah. For.
Adam Friedland
For a million dollars, I'm like, obviously, I would let you do it for free. Yeah, I guess. Like, what's the genesis behind, like, the boards? Did it grow out of, like, incel and pua shit? Like.
Clavicular
Yeah, right.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Did you. Did you interact with that kind of shit?
Clavicular
That was before my time. That was kind of when I was, like, born was when it was like, all conceptualized. On the Internet.
Adam Friedland
So the genesis behind it was like, if you're involuntary celibate, you're like, I'm actually not gonna accept this. I'm gonna become a, like, piece of ass, and then I'll get girls.
Clavicular
That was the idea behind it. It was more so like identifying the world. I think it was more so just identifying why people were in cell. And then it kind of transitioned into, okay, how could we fix this now?
Adam Friedland
Have you ever been in love?
Clavicular
That's a tough question.
Adam Friedland
You know, it's awesome. It's the ultimate. Honestly, it feels great, but it feels crazy. It feels like you're taking crazy pills sometimes it's like, what are we even doing? I think you've been in love. I feel like you're capping. That's cap I can see on your face.
Clavicular
Well, I just said I love her.
Adam Friedland
Boy, you don't know. So you thought it could be love?
Clavicular
I have no idea.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Do you think that your career has complicated, like, having, like, a stable relationship?
Clavicular
Yeah, for sure.
Adam Friedland
You had a girlfriend recently?
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And did it make it tough?
Clavicular
Yeah, certainly. It's kind of not really possible to do what I do just because of the hours. Like, you know, with all this kind of production oriented stuff where you're kind of running a show. It's a little less time devotion than, like, the streams. Like, the streaming hours are beyond brutal, and the shit that I do on stream isn't something that most girls would want to be a part of.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, like hose. Like flurries.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
For Brickle, Brickle type style.
Clavicular
Hose, Brickle, hose.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Trying to do street interviews are the worst. Do you ever worry that you'll be like, you'll get so hot that you'll be hotter than your girlfriend? You don't want to be hotter than your girlfriend.
Clavicular
Why?
Adam Friedland
He's just like, what? You want to date? No, you don't.
Clavicular
That's like, typically how it is in modern dating.
Adam Friedland
Not for me. Not at all. Dude, she is an idiot. I can't believe she's gonna wake up one day and be like, what the hell have I been? Well, yeah, I guess there is an aspect of dating that is like courtship. Right. Like, it's not sexy if someone is pursuing you. Right. Like, it's more sexy if you have a crush on someone and you want to, like, you know, like, be charming and get them to like you.
Clavicular
Right. And women are just outrageously hypergamous.
Adam Friedland
What does that mean?
Clavicular
It means that they're trying to date above their looks level to a ridiculous degree.
Adam Friedland
You gotta move to New York, dude. You see some of the gargoyles with just elevens, dude, it's a different world.
Clavicular
That's because there's a lot of people in New York who are like gay.
Adam Friedland
Gay guys.
Clavicular
Yeah, I was going to say money maxers, like, you know, finance. Not even as a whole. Right.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
What, what is true about women is they are hypergamous. They're dating above their looks level. And if they're not, if they're better looking than the guy, it can 99% of the time be attributed to either money or status. They're way better.
Adam Friedland
So titties and assholes.
Clavicular
That's why I don't really understand when people give like, you know, anecdotes on breaking these rules. When it's like, yeah, as a whole we're looking at a society here not, you know, were you able to get with a chick who's hotter than you?
Adam Friedland
I don't know, it's just like they like it kind of a little bit if we're like a little ugly sometimes.
Clavicular
No.
Adam Friedland
I think, yeah, bro.
Clavicular
Well, you're also a millionaire. Status billionaire. Billionaire. Oh wait, I did see. Someone says.
Adam Friedland
Why did they say billionaire? Who tweeted that? That I'm a billionaire?
Clavicular
I don't know. I was like, is that true?
Adam Friedland
Yeah, I'm a billionaire, dude.
Clavicular
But you know, as a whole, these rules are true and these are rules.
Adam Friedland
I don't think they're true. Dude, you're.
Clavicular
I think you're making up rules. No, I don't think so.
Adam Friedland
I'm telling you, dude, all my friends, girlfriends are hotter than them. Are all your friends rich Steven's roster, Steven? No, not at all. Back me up, Steven.
Clavicular
And that's another common cope is people just don't know how to properly rate individuals attractiveness because they'll score women a lot higher. Because it's like, yeah, these are hot. Exactly. But when you actually know the objective measurements, it doesn't become about sexual attraction. It's about mathematics. And you're able to be a lot more analytical with, you know, rating people.
Adam Friedland
But what's sexy about math?
Clavicular
Well, it's about figuring out attractiveness.
Adam Friedland
I don't need to know the math on a pair of tits, you know?
Clavicular
Well, it's about, it's about the faces. And at the end of the day, yeah, you see a girl, you think she's hot. It's the same. But we're just trying to identify why, you know, why you have that subconscious instinct, you know.
Adam Friedland
But why?
Clavicular
What makes a Face good. What makes a face bad. That's the kind of stuff that I'm just explaining to people.
Adam Friedland
I think girls are hot. Sometimes I get horny for them.
Clavicular
There you go. Well, we're just.
Adam Friedland
I've been horny for them, for them my whole life, dude. Even before I can bust, dude, I've been horny for them. Anyway, let's not get carried away. Can you break it down for me? So what are these measurements? And like, how have they. Is it crowdsourced? Is it like the community has kind of determined.
Clavicular
Like they do a lot of psl.
Adam Friedland
Psl, yeah. Okay.
Clavicular
So it comes from a bunch of different sources. You know, even something like the mid face ratio tracks back to ancient Greece. But a lot of it is, you know, attractiveness surveys, scientists determining what is the most ideal measurement, right? And you take all these measurements and you come up with a total facial harmony score. And that kind of is able to be gauged on how attractive someone is. There's other things that play a role, like phenotype, you know, and if you were to extend it to just the full body and height and frame, things like that. So there's a lot that goes into it, but it's all very objective.
Adam Friedland
And this is kind of something that's like the community has debated and kind of like.
Clavicular
It's not like that makes it sound like it's just a bunch of autists on forums kind of debating. Well, no, I know there's no like guru.
Adam Friedland
There's no like Ross Jeffries, who.
Clavicular
No, it's not like one guy's opinion. You know, it's all very well researched.
Adam Friedland
Do you know Ross Jeffries is.
Clavicular
I don't.
Adam Friedland
He's like the first pickup artist guy when we were 15. My friend Tommy's like, dude, I'm sick of not fucking. I was like, we all are, dude. And he's like, I downloaded these lectures from KAZA of this guy Ross Jeffries. And I was like, what? Like, you're not gonna get pussy from lectures. And he fucked at school, like three days later at school. Literally. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen. And then he started dating that girl and he saved her in his phone as bitch, bitch. It was rude. Quite rude. So just explain to me what like the PSL kind of like, you know, layman's terms. Because I. I'm like, not very smart. But like.
Clavicular
Well, PSL was.
Adam Friedland
There's four categories. Sorry. It's an eight point scale.
Clavicular
Right, Right. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
So how's that determined?
Clavicular
So that's just a different rating system that came from the community and those are just. PSL is three lookism oriented forums and pickup artist type things. So the idea behind it is that there's no such thing as a 10 and the highest rating was an 8. Now it's kind of been skewed to match the decile scale. So it's not completely what it is. What's the decile scale like out of 10?
Adam Friedland
Out of 10? Oh yeah.
Clavicular
So people will kind of just try to like make it translatable when that was never really the intention. There was a reason There was no 9 and 10 included in the scale. So that's kind of just what it comes down to.
Adam Friedland
What are the three categories?
Clavicular
The three categories?
Adam Friedland
You said there were three standards.
Clavicular
No, it's just three forums that PSL stands for.
Adam Friedland
What does it stand for?
Clavicular
Pickup artist Hate, Slut hate and Lookism.
Adam Friedland
Slut Hate?
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
What do they say? Just fuck girls?
Clavicular
Well, that's what the forum was called.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Who was on the boards? Was it like his?
Clavicular
Your age now? It is, yeah. Now it's often people who are a little bit younger. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Are there girls on there?
Clavicular
Sometimes there will be girls who try to like larp their way into the community when it's meant to be a male dominated space or just like a male space in general. Because women have just an exponentially easier time living life and sort of getting away with whatever the fuck they want. So you know, you give them like this whole looks max avenue now to make things even easier. It's just, I don't know, makes the playing board kind of.
Adam Friedland
But haven't they. They've been look maxing for a long time though.
Clavicular
Yeah, but not properly.
Adam Friedland
Not properly.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
So wait, there's. Correct me if I'm wrong, there's normie for guys, right. Low tier, mid tier, high tier normie.
Clavicular
Yes.
Adam Friedland
And then there's Chad Turbo. Chad Gigachad.
Clavicular
Chad Light. Chad.
Adam Friedland
Chad Light.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
What are you?
Clavicular
I don't rate myself.
Adam Friedland
We're like giga. No.
Clavicular
Yeah, sure. We're like giga.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, yeah. People don't understand what it's like for us to be true. Yeah. Is your philosophy that like one can make themselves into Chad if they want? No.
Clavicular
So genetics are going to play a huge role in everything and what's able to be accomplished. But you know, anyone can improve their looks to a pretty significant degree if they're willing to do sort of whatever it takes and go with that mentality.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
But obviously your base where you start out Is going to determine a lot of, uh huh. You know. Yeah, you might look smacks your entire life, do everything properly. But if you're someone who just does not have the genetic base to allow for you to be a chad or anything, you might be a little disappointed.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. How do you conceive of yourself prior to like going on this transformation? Like what do you think of that kid?
Clavicular
No, I'd say it's like a very like linear process to looks max. It's not like a, you know, where you leave your cocoon or whatever, like a butterfly or some sort of metamorphosis. It's very slow and steady. So I don't really think you change your, you know, view on anything.
Adam Friedland
Had you not looked smacks you think you'd still be a hot guy? You probably would.
Clavicular
No, I would say that, you know, obviously your genetics are gonna play the biggest role in everything, but you have it right. I don't think I would be as. As good looking. No, not as.
Adam Friedland
But like you'd still be a hot guy.
Clavicular
I don't know.
Adam Friedland
But not as hot.
Clavicular
It really is hard to pinpoint exactly how much some of the different interventions would have played a role or where I would have got to.
Adam Friedland
I know you said you wanted to get double job and you're not going to do it now. What's double?
Clavicular
I still want to do it, but there's just been a lot of.
Adam Friedland
What does it do?
Clavicular
Just advances your upper maxilla and your lower mandible.
Adam Friedland
You just get. Your mouth is like print out. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Clavicular
Turkey.
Adam Friedland
You're going to Turkey?
Clavicular
Yeah. There's just a lot of complications with travel right now that I'm not going to get into.
Adam Friedland
You're on the no fly list?
Clavicular
No, no, nothing like that.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, yeah. We got to go to Turkey.
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Friedland
I'll get. I get rid of plus. There you go. Actually, I like my nose. I used to not like it.
Clavicular
Okay.
Adam Friedland
I like it. The other thing was leg. Leg breaking. Yeah.
Clavicular
That was kind of just like a thought experiment. I think people didn't really understand what I was getting at. Was the reason I was talking about sort of the ling, like limb lengthening stuff was just about roi. And then I kind of started popping off in another area which was, you know, social media status, money. And I realized that the ROI was not, you know, not worth it anymore in terms of like ascending my SMB. I was able to just leverage something else.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. How tall are you now? Six. Two.
Clavicular
Yeah. So that's the goal at the end of the day is to maximize SMV and if you could do, do so through other areas, you know, go for it.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Gesturing.
Clavicular
But at the end of the day that's going to be incredibly difficult for someone to have like the status ascension I did.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
Where it makes it comparable.
Adam Friedland
Can I ask you a question? Is it like, looks maxi a means of like avoiding like. It's called gesturing. But like just like chat. Chatting like. Or like flirting with girls if you're like so hot you don't have to talk to them.
Clavicular
Yeah. It certainly makes it easier to be.
Adam Friedland
A dumbass to not talk to girls.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Also just about like when I was like a 16, like just being so afraid if a girl doesn't want to kiss me back. Like, just like, like wanting to kiss a chick and like how nauseating you feel at that age. And like, had that been post me too, it probably would have been even scarier. Right.
Clavicular
I've never had to.
Adam Friedland
I'm just saying, like, does that make it scarier? Like, does that make dating or like, or gender relation, like relating to women scarier for. For guys your age? No, no. Me too.
Clavicular
I've never had any issues.
Adam Friedland
I'm not saying you got me too. No, no, you're not listening to me. I'm saying that it creates a fear. Kids are having less sex now.
Clavicular
That is true. Yeah. There's a lot of statistics about this. Young men are. I'm pretty sure 2/3 of young men, 18 through 21 haven't had sex in six months. So it's, you know, it's quite brutal. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
That's crazy. I guess, like, let's. Let's go into like your fame. Right. Like it's been rapid.
Clavicular
Correct.
Adam Friedland
What has it been like to like to become a famous person very quickly?
Clavicular
Well, I don't want to use the term famous, just kind of well known, maybe infamous even.
Adam Friedland
Famous. Famous. Say it, dude. Say it with your chest.
Clavicular
No, no. Yeah, not yet. Hopefully one day.
Adam Friedland
But you get more famous. But you're very famous.
Clavicular
I've kind of been doing social media for a little bit longer than people realize because I just started streaming and you know, going super mainstream. But I had been posting and doing content for about a year now. So.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
Which I guess in, you know, the grand scheme of things for social media, that's still, you know, relatively short in terms of like career longevity. But yeah, so the live streaming started in about November was when it kind of took off. So yeah, it's been a quick rise from there. But I don't know I've been adapting.
Adam Friedland
What do you attribute it to?
Clavicular
Consistency. And it's just. It's new, it's fresh, it's content. You know, people are doing the same shit all the time on Twitch, you know, and no one gives a fuck anymore. It's the same streams. It's like video games. It's just boring.
Adam Friedland
Right, But I don't watch it.
Clavicular
Exactly. Yeah, no, so. And people are realizing that more and more. So everyone looks for what's new on the Internet.
Adam Friedland
Who's your fan base? Who's the squad? Would you have a name for the stands?
Clavicular
No, not. Not really.
Adam Friedland
What are they called? Clav Gang. Yeah.
Clavicular
No, no real name really is it.
Adam Friedland
It's. It's a lot of guys. It's a lot of young men.
Clavicular
Surprisingly, it's actually pretty split down the middle.
Adam Friedland
Really?
Clavicular
Yeah. I would say in terms of like my live stream viewership, it would be like mostly men, but I have a lot of female fans, like, you know, for being hot. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what exactly.
Adam Friedland
Come on, bro. You're. You have an smv. That's why the. The bitches want to come on.
Clavicular
Yeah, I don't. I think it's just from. From Tick Tock. Like would be most of the female audience, like, they're not really interacting with.
Adam Friedland
These girls right here.
Clavicular
Yeah, maybe. Yeah. Tick Tock. Probably.
Adam Friedland
Wait, I felt bad for you when I saw that clip of the Orlando Asian kid. What up, homie? Yo, you think you can sign my sell my album?
Clavicular
Yeah, I got you, man. Yeah, no worries.
Adam Friedland
Deborah, we've been on your ass since the moment you were streaming since November.
Clavicular
Oh, hell yeah, dude. Good stuff.
Adam Friedland
You think we take a stream photo?
Clavicular
Yeah, let's do it, man.
Adam Friedland
I bet. All right, in the count of three. Three, two, one. Oh my God, that kid sucked.
Clavicular
Oh, man, that is so annoying when like I'll be just trying to talk to girls and in the bar or whatever, but you know, people want to spam a million photos and it's like, I get it and I like all the fans, but if you're dropping game on like a chick irl, like people will come up and you know, kind of distract you or whatever. Yeah, a little bit by accident.
Adam Friedland
But you know, how could you even call yourself the Orlando Asian Mogger when that guy is clearly mogged no one is entire life. He's a liar. He should call himself the Orlando Asian Liar perhaps.
Clavicular
Yeah, I'm not really sure if that was like a clip farmer or whatnot.
Adam Friedland
But yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess like I, when I found out about you, it's like, I guess you've had like various controversial moments. But like those have obviously for me as like a middle aged man, like those are the times that it gets on my like algorithm. Right. Yeah. Is there a pressure there? I guess like to like controversy? Max.
Clavicular
Most content creators try to clip form.
Adam Friedland
What is clip form?
Clavicular
Like just do stupid shit to go viral. But a lot of the times, like I won't really be thinking too hard.
Adam Friedland
It's just happens. Yeah.
Clavicular
The thing is all those clipping accounts that just went viral for that kind of shit, none of those words are anything that I even understand myself. Like it's just people making up random shit because they pay clippers based on viewership. So they're just writing dumb shit. And like they'll put filters on your face.
Adam Friedland
What words are they say?
Clavicular
Like jester gooning. Doesn't like really mean it.
Adam Friedland
Do you feel like that's making fun of you a little bit?
Clavicular
Yeah, I would say so, yeah.
Adam Friedland

Our guest today. I apologize to our guest for mogging him. And Momentous is one of the ways that I keep things moving by this point of the year. Routines are real, not aspirational. And when it comes to supplements you're taking every day and night, trust really matters. But choosing the right supplements can be confusing, especially in a low regulation space, which means a lot of products cut corners, skip testing or don't fully disclose what's inside. And that's why I partnered with Momentous. They've built a reputation the high trust brand and low trust trust category by holding themselves to a higher bar, what they call the momentous standard. It's their commitment to doing things the right way, not the easy way. Momentous sources their highest quality ingredients. Their whey protein comes from grass fed European dairy cows. Their creatine uses the purest form of creatine monohydrate. And every formula is made with clinically backed, highly bioavailable nutrients with no fillers and no artificial sweeteners. What truly sets Momentous apart is their testing and transparency. Every product is independently certified for NSF formed sport, meaning it's tested for contaminants, heavy metals, banned substances and verified label accuracy. So you always know what you're putting in your body. And if the product doesn't meet their standard, it never hits the shelves. In a space where trust is rare, Momentous is redefining what trust looks like. So if you have a favorite, whether it's protein, creatine, or omega 3, you'll feel the difference when quality is intentional. Right now, Momentous is offering our listeners up to 35% off your first order with the promo code TAFS. Head to livemomentous.com and use promo code TAFS for up to 35% off your first Order. That's livemomentous.com promo code TAFS. What percentage do you think when you view society are Normie versus, like, Chad or like Becky versus Stacy?
Clavicular
Well, what percent of people are Chad?
Adam Friedland
Like, like what do you view the world?
Clavicular
Yeah, you know, point one, maybe.
Adam Friedland
Point one? Yeah. Yeah. Do you, you feel like you occupy that, that percentage?
Clavicular
No, I don't really like to try to categorize my looks. Want to look better?
Adam Friedland
Yes.
Clavicular
That's the message.
Adam Friedland
You, you aspire to look, to do looks Maxim.
Clavicular
Yeah, like, I don't really think the whole rating thing. For some reason, people are goddamn obsessed with figuring out the rating. Ask me for a rating. But dude, just look better. That's, that's all you need to worry about.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. When you look at the mirror, do you see the imperfections that you want to correct?
Clavicular
Yeah, but it's not like one of those body dysmorphia type of, you know, reactions where I'm just like, can't even leave the house because I like, you know, my mid face ratio is off by like one millimeter type thing. And there are people like that. There are people like that. I know, look at these girls.
Adam Friedland
What's fighting out of their chairs right now?
Clavicular
So I know what's suboptimal about my face, but I don't really let it occupy.
Adam Friedland
What is suboptimal about your face?
Clavicular
Well, you know, obviously there's, there's plenty of things. Right.
Adam Friedland
Geez, you're fire, dude. You know, plenty of things. What are you talking about, dude?
Clavicular
Well, just being like, what am I then?
Adam Friedland
I should kill myself. What is like, you suboptimal? You look incredible.
Clavicular
Well, almost no one has.
Adam Friedland
Look at Superman or something.
Clavicular
Well, almost no one has a completely perfect face according to science. Right. So you could find things that are flaws on anyone, but you know, some of them will be minor and some people will be extremely deformed. So it's just like whole things, a spectrum.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
But I don't really think about it too much on it.
Adam Friedland
Right. You know, so I guess, like, what do you do day to day? Like, what's your, like Kind of rate routine.
Clavicular
A lot of it is pharmacology. Right. So I like, like using pharmaceutical. Yeah, yeah. So what that would kind of look like is I don't like the endocrine system, which is like your natural testosterone production. Because just in a modern society there are so many things that are meant to disrupt this process. So my entire mentality is just don't try to fight it with doing these stupid carnivore diets and wearing like this cotton clothes. It's like just get off the entire thing and use exogenous hormones.
Adam Friedland
Okay.
Clavicular
So that's the first thing that I do is testosterone.
Adam Friedland
What is that, like a syringe?
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah. So that's one. The next thing is going to be a GLP1 agonist.
Adam Friedland
What is that?
Clavicular
So I use something similar to Ozempic called retatrutide.
Adam Friedland
Okay.
Clavicular
And that's a peptide that basically suppresses my appetite, making it difficult to eat. I don't really think about food too much. And because being lean is about 70% of what you could accomplish in terms of looks, maximum. And then the next thing is, you know, hair loss because 2/3 of men by 21 years old are experiencing some form of male pattern baldness. So avoiding that is really going to be something that's crucial to maintaining those looks.
Adam Friedland
I agree.
Clavicular
So taking what's called a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor, testosterone converts into dihydrotestosterone through this one enzyme in your body. So you're blocking that process because DHT is going to be a huge problem for your hair.
Adam Friedland
Right.
Clavicular
Causes hair follicle miniaturization.
Adam Friedland
Would you rather lose your hair or your dick? Because I was a dick personally? Yeah. Yeah. Fucking. I would look terrible without hair. I look sick.
Clavicular
Exactly.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. But if you go bald, you could go jacked. You could go Bruce Willis kind of.
Clavicular
No, that just makes you look like one of those cringe red pill jesters.
Adam Friedland
I think they're jesters too. Yeah.
Clavicular
I kind of just like to refer back to the quote, like hair is life and if you have no hair, you have no life.
Adam Friedland
Confucian? Confucius.
Clavicular
No, that's actually Saint Hammoudy.
Adam Friedland
Who's Saint Moody.
Clavicular
Saint Moody. Just some autists from like the black veil space.
Adam Friedland
He's not from the Bible.
Clavicular
No, no.
Adam Friedland
Okay.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And then you do. So you do like a finasteride or whatever, something similar. Okay.
Clavicular
Do tasteride.
Adam Friedland
Because the T makes you. Makes you go bald faster. Yeah. It gives you acne.
Clavicular
The testosterone and its byproduct.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
The Hydro testosterone.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, yeah. So you just do those three things.
Clavicular
No, I mean we'll be sitting here for a little while.
Adam Friedland
We go through the whole medical school.
Clavicular
Well, I got kicked out of school.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, but whatever, we'll get you back in. I don't want to be a Jewish mother. But you should go to medical school. You don't want to.
Clavicular
Horrible idea.
Adam Friedland
Why? You know all this crap. You can help people doing medical school.
Clavicular
I would never go back to school. I'm already doing good enough on social media where I can't even think about the word school in a serious context.
Adam Friedland
You could be a doctor. You could be a good day. It's a good job.
Clavicular
No, no doctors.
Adam Friedland
You know all this stuff. Do doctors agree with the stuff you're saying right now?
Clavicular
Doctors are.
Adam Friedland
You're a rogue.
Clavicular
I'm telling you. Listen, these people are literally going to school for 10 years accumulating a retarded amount of debt.
Adam Friedland
Retarded. Yeah.
Clavicular
Just to make like, you know, a wage that's not really going to elevate you to a position where you could beat any looks disparity. So it just doesn't really make sense to me.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, but your mom tells the daughter like you find her doctor.
Clavicular
If you're gonna take out hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of loans, you might as well invest it into surgery rather than going to school.
Adam Friedland
What if you could be a plastic surgeon?
Clavicular
And by the way, you can actually get college loans and use it for surgery. So this is a method. So I've been, I've been telling people. Yeah, you can literally do that. So just misappropriating the funds, it's really not going to get you in that much trouble. And you'll mog, so you'll be able to sort of get out of it.
Adam Friedland
Okay, let's. Let's do a rapid fire questions. Okay. This will be fun. You were interviewed by Michael Knowles. What do you think of that? Guy's a bitch.
Clavicular
I thought he was very nice.
Adam Friedland
Okay, nevermind. I, I mogged, I mogged when he came on here. He's a nice guy. Whatever.
Clavicular
He is nice.
Adam Friedland
He just tells trans people they should be eradicated. He's a really nice guy.
Clavicular
Yeah, so that's why I just like. I don't like to think about politics because these people get into these manic headspaces over nonsense and I'm losers, dude. Why?
Adam Friedland
Yeah, yeah. I have politicians on their fucking.
Clavicular
Which ones?
Adam Friedland
They're jesters, dude.
Clavicular
Yeah, for real.
Adam Friedland
I had, I had the mayor Zoron. Have you Heard of him?
Clavicular
No.
Adam Friedland
He's fire. He's pretty fire.
Clavicular
Zo Rob.
Adam Friedland
Zo Ron.
Clavicular
I never heard of the guy.
Adam Friedland
He's sick. He's the New York mayor.
Clavicular
Oh shit.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
I'm so far removed. Fuck man.
Adam Friedland
He's a. He's a. He's got a high sexual market value. Do you gesture when you're chilling with your boys? You guys. Can you gesture with guys? Can you just not gesture with girls? Is okay to gesture with fellas?
Clavicular
Dude, honestly, it's okay to gesture regardless.
Adam Friedland
Oh my God. Thank you. When I read that gesturing was cope, it forced me to look in the mirror when I was learning.
Clavicular
It's just like about. You just have to be kind of conscious of the fact that you're gesturing. That's like the main distinction that needs to be made because some people will gesture and genuinely think it's like game or the right approach. But like if you just want to be silly and fuck around like that's perfectly fine.
Adam Friedland
Fun to make a girl laugh at a joke though. It's fun.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Good.
Clavicular
It's like that's not really gesture maxing though. Jester maxing would be like juggling. Yeah, that or just like maybe self deprecating humor would be like one thing.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, yeah.
Clavicular
That's like a very jester Max thing to do.
Adam Friedland
What do you do for fun? What's like what, what's.
Clavicular
Dude, I'm gonna be honest, I don't do anything besides stream.
Adam Friedland
Come on, bro, you gotta have fun. Sometimes you gotta put yeah with the boys and make jokes about it because it's a bad movie. Just try it out. Yo, where's the camera guy? Just, just please just promise me you'll do that with him. We can try.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
No. Why fuck no.
Clavicular
Dude would rather. The way I think about it is like when I'm doing anything off camera that's like an activity, I'm like, I could be streaming this, getting paid right now.
Adam Friedland
Come on, dude, you can't just make you separate a little bit.
Clavicular
Think about it, right? There's literally people who do shit like mini golf and bowling and like go and hang out with like go to dinner dates with girls off screen. They're not getting paid. Yeah, like dude, doesn't that with you a little bit? Like there's people who actually.
Adam Friedland
Do you think that that's what people are primarily doing or you make dinner with your girl, you put on a girl show.
Clavicular
Stream it, bro.
Adam Friedland
You do face. No, I don't, I don't know. I wanna, I actually like What a private life. And I had to learn that.
Clavicular
Dude, I want my hourly streaming.
Adam Friedland
Here's the thing. I think that people are a little. When I read, like, at social media, I think, like, people are kind of ignoring the fact that you're 20, right?
Clavicular
Yeah. I would say that pretty much every content creator has seemingly got like this treatment for immaturity or like, you know, people excuse bad behaviors. But that's never been applied to me whatsoever.
Adam Friedland
Why?
Clavicular
I don't know. Maybe it's because I just come across as like, more mature and when I do, like these long form, like, podcasts a lot of the time, so people don't realize my age a lot of the times. And I'm also like a figure of authority in the looks maxing space.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
So they're like, okay, well, we're not gonna give you an easy out on this one, but it's fine. I don't really, you know, complain about it.
Adam Friedland
What aspects of life would you not stream? Like, taking a shit. You would stream. Yeah. Shower, getting pussy.
Clavicular
Well, I mean, have you streamed getting.
Adam Friedland
Having sex.
Clavicular
You can't do that. Like actually put it on the camera. But I've done it, like with the mic on.
Adam Friedland
Really? Wait, you're rocking. You're rocking her world. What's it like for a girl having sex with you?
Clavicular
Like one minute and then you have to go to a clinic a few days later.
Adam Friedland
You're, you're, you, you, you hit it. You hit it quick.
Clavicular
Yeah, bro, I got to get back to work. I'm busy guy. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
You're such a legend. It's crazy, dude. You're such a legend. Why are girls more flattered about premature ejaculations? If a girl prematurely ejaculated the best of sex, what A girl should be like, wow, I was incredible today.
Clavicular
Yeah, dude, it's about my time, right?
Adam Friedland
It's. Oh, so you make yourself bust really fast.
Clavicular
Yeah, bro, I'm not here to flatter anyone.
Adam Friedland
So then just jack off.
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Yeah. What is the looks back saying?
Clavicular
You ever do the Stranger?
Adam Friedland
What's the Stranger?
Clavicular
Oh, dude, I love telling people about this one.
Adam Friedland
What is it?
Clavicular
So basically, you got to sit on your hand until.
Adam Friedland
Oh, yeah, yeah. Classic.
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Friedland
The Stranger.
Clavicular
Yeah, I was gonna say, have you.
Adam Friedland
Ever done the Tennessee Pile Driver?
Clavicular
I kind of want to know. What is it?
Adam Friedland
It's you're stupping on a wall and the force is so big that you smash through the wall. Okay, yeah, yeah. No. Have you ever done the Darwin The Darwin.
Clavicular
Maybe by accident.
Adam Friedland
You put your soft dick in a girl's mouth and then it evolves.
Clavicular
Yeah, I've done that one.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. Yeah. That's a fun one. So do you feel like a fear or an anxiety about sex staying on top? Like I asked you this earlier, but are people coming for your spot ever?
Clavicular
No, I mean, like, there's. Making good content is kind of like the goal at the end of the day. And I think I'm pretty captivating based on what's been happening with the numbers. So I'm just going to continue that. Continue being myself.
Adam Friedland
What about Marlin? Who's. Who's this Marlin I'm seeing? Yeah, yeah, but he's a hot guy too.
Clavicular
I don't know. It's up to you, man.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. I don't fucking look at guy. I don't. I don't do the math on guys. Hotness. Dude, who's the hottest girl?
Clavicular
The hottest girl ever. Ever.
Adam Friedland
And we're gonna go around the room. Get rid of it.
Clavicular
Maybe you go first. I don't know.
Adam Friedland
Denise Richards, That James Bond movie, Dr. Christmas Jones.
Clavicular
What, the old James Bond stuff?
Adam Friedland
Yeah. With Pierce Brosnan. Yeah. She was an 11 or the movie Wild Things model. Yeah.
Clavicular
The thing about that question is like, I'll kind of flip flop on the answer a little bit.
Adam Friedland
Who sweetie you think is number one?
Clavicular
I think that bitch looks like shit. Really?
Adam Friedland
I saw the clip where you say she looks like crap.
Clavicular
Yeah. So you baited me to say that she got big.
Adam Friedland
Have you seen the Things?
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Friedland
Kind of awesome. No?
Clavicular
Yeah. But it's just hard to get over that face. Come on pause and she's gonna be shooting your head off about some like, political issue.
Adam Friedland
You think Sydney sweetie is political?
Clavicular
People want her to be.
Adam Friedland
They want her to be. They want you to be.
Clavicular
I know, bro. It's.
Adam Friedland
Why do people attribute looks maxing to be right?
Clavicular
They just don't know what it is, man. So there's kind of, you know, scrambling to figure out what I'm about and. Because it's a whole new thing. Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Because you got your forums, you say naughty words. So they think it's right wing.
Clavicular
Yeah, that's just like any fringe, you know, culture on the Internet is kind of like edgy and, you know, not something that you would hear just out and about on a day to day basis. So it's not necessarily political at all. It just looks. It's self improvement.
Adam Friedland
Who's the hottest chick? Dude, just. Come on, just tell me.
Clavicular
Hottest chick. I think Taylor Hill's pretty good. Just a model.
Adam Friedland
Who's that? Run a pick. Let me see. Come on. She's fire. And you guys think that Matt Bonner is the hottest guy.
Clavicular
I said the highest in terms of the objective harmony ratios.
Adam Friedland
Matt from the Spurs. The redhead guy. The three point shooter. Matt Bonner.
Clavicular
See?
Adam Friedland
Let's check. She's hot. Let me see. Do you. Do you take that down or no?
Clavicular
Nah, man, not yet.
Adam Friedland
Just say what up to her? Just DM her or something.
Clavicular
Couple more fashion shows maybe.
Adam Friedland
Really? She's a fashion model? Yeah, just say hi or something.
Clavicular
Dude, that's the thing.
Adam Friedland
You know what you should do? Respond to a story and say, damn, bro, she's perf. And then she'll say question mark and you'll be like, I meant to send that to my friend. Dude.
Clavicular
She descended.
Adam Friedland
That's what jesters do.
Clavicular
She descended since. Since that photo.
Adam Friedland
So she ended. She's dead.
Clavicular
Descended.
Adam Friedland
Descended.
Clavicular
Yeah, like looks worse.
Adam Friedland
I gotta show you some shit, dude. There's a whole wide world out there outside of male beauty. Peep this, you're gonna love it. Those are nice headphones too. Check those out. You know this track? Put them on, dude. Or you want to mess up your.
Clavicular
Not really my style.
Adam Friedland
Come on. Can I put you. I'll play you another track. Not really. Your song. You're an idiot. Okay. This song will change your life. Yeah. Garden State, dude. She says this song will change your life and it does. Does your boy know these songs? What, the Karma Police? Yeah, from Invincible. From what? The show. What's Invincible? Oh, you don't know it. It's an animated show. No, I don't watch cartoons, bro. What the man? You don't with this?
Clavicular
No, no.
Adam Friedland
All right. You want to hear a song that I wrote? Tell me if this is good.
Clavicular
Do you want me to be honest?
Adam Friedland
Yeah, be honest. Honestly. Okay. Okay. Weary, feeling small.
Clavicular
Little slow.
Adam Friedland
Keep listening, dude. Wait for the hook. Like a bridge over trouble water. Can I ask you another question? What's your favorite animal? Dog. Yeah, me too.
Clavicular
I have a dog.
Adam Friedland
Me too. What kind of dog?
Clavicular
I don't know.
Adam Friedland
I have pit bull.
Clavicular
I hate when people ask me that question. Like they think it's weird if. If you don't know what kind of dog you have.
Adam Friedland
Dude, look at my dog.
Clavicular
And that's another. Just like that's when Normies interacting. Nice.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
What do you think I got her from the street?
Clavicular
Normies interacting is always so silly to me because they're like.
Adam Friedland
What was that?
Clavicular
Like normal people yeah, because they run into each other and they're like, oh, what kind of dog do you have? As if they give a shit about that.
Adam Friedland
Is they go mini golf. Yeah.
Clavicular
Answer. So. Yeah. No, I never.
Adam Friedland
Wait, let me see your dog then. Just be a normie for a second. Just be normal. Maybe for a second, dude. All right, your dog looks. That's your best friend.
Clavicular
Is that what they say?
Adam Friedland
I don't know. Who's your best friend? This guy in the back. He fucked 10 girls and he said low double digit.
Clavicular
Yeah. I can't even find a picture.
Adam Friedland
Like, where do you rank male beauty in, like, the kind of scale of what's important? Like the highest. Like, higher than, like, kindness or something?
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Really? Why is that?
Clavicular
Well, because these things are going to be perceived according to the physical, right? So, like, all the intangible things, like, you know, being kind or, you know, being funny.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
That's all going to be haloed by your attractiveness. So there's no point in really valuing them as separate things when they're all kind of interconnected.
Adam Friedland
Well, like, Mother Teresa, she wasn't quite. She was a looker, but she was. She's famous for her kindness. Right. Like, she didn't need a baseline attractiveness. She was. She was kind. Right. Like, she, you know.
Clavicular
Well, nobody gives a shit about Mother Teresa. I'm gonna be honest with you.
Adam Friedland
People do. No, people, she's. She's. She's famous. Yeah.
Clavicular
Yeah. But, like, I think people are probably gonna care more about someone in Hollywood, like a Brad Pitt figure than they.
Adam Friedland
Would Mother Teresa, because he's hotter than her.
Clavicular
He probably mogs.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, he mogs. He would mog her, that's for sure.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
Since you've maximized your attractiveness. Right. The things that I've seen, like, I found out about you from are like, things like. Like the car, the, you know, the. The thing last week in Arizona. Like, those kind of things, I guess, have those. Do you perceive those as complicated your life? Like, you know, like. So it's just like. Is the formula of, like, maximizing your attractiveness to make everything better, does that necessarily. Maybe. Does that complicate it?
Clavicular
Well, I just have an interesting status, I guess you could say, where I'm like, a infamous figure. Yeah. So, you know, where there's a lot of love. And I would say that's 99% of interactions. Those aren't the ones that are going viral on headlines as some one dickhead who is a hater and wants to, you know, do some dumbass Shit, yeah. You know what I mean? So that's just what goes viral, but that's not the reality of the situation. Yeah, the reality of the situation is, you know, I'm talking about men's issues and kind of identifying with that. And no one's been a spokesperson for, you know, this, the struggle in any meaningful way. I would say there's a lot of.
Adam Friedland
You're the first.
Clavicular
Well, there's just a lot of like disinformation, I guess would be the way you could put it. Or there's sort of like a key element that's always been missing from the manosphere and the red pill space, which was that looks are an extremely important thing and they shouldn't be ignored. So I think young men, like, feel kind of understood by my message, like, you know, by me.
Adam Friedland
What resonates, you think with young men?
Clavicular
Well, because I understand it, right.
Adam Friedland
It's.
Clavicular
It's not like I have my head super big because I'm famous. It's like I kind of blew up on social media not that long ago. So I was right there in the struggle.
Adam Friedland
Yeah.
Clavicular
You know, I was still working a normal job less than a year ago.
Adam Friedland
Wage cook.
Clavicular
Yeah, I was wage cooking.
Adam Friedland
Yeah. What was your last job?
Clavicular
Working at a restaurant?
Adam Friedland
Yeah. If you're close with your sister, right. If someone told her that she was low tier Becky or subhuman, whatever, like, would you want to beat their ass?
Clavicular
Well, that'd be like sort of a cortisol spike. So the expectation for you to do some dumb ass shit and like get into fights all the time, I think it's just a culture that definitely needs to be added. Like, I'm, you know, I'm high class and I don't do shit like that.
Adam Friedland
In the same sense as Michael Knowles fixating on trans people's lives. Like, what is the merit of telling someone that they. That they are nasty?
Clavicular
Like, well, yeah, I guess. And I would not really do that unless someone were to be a dickhead to me first. And I think any of the clips where it's just like me, you know, talking to someone in a disrespectful manner, they always cut out the previous part of the interaction where they would just come up and start acting crazy. Like, I'm not.
Adam Friedland
I imagine so.
Clavicular
Yeah. Like, it's not like I'm going up to people and being like, oh, you're fucking subhuman.
Adam Friedland
I saw a clip where a girl was like trying to flirt with you. She's like, why don't you come say Hi. You're like cuz your cheeks look like or something. No, you said her, her man mandicular was crappy or something. Come on, be nice to girls, dude.
Clavicular
At least I am. I would say you should be nice to girls. I would say I'm. I've.
Adam Friedland
They're girls, dude.
Clavicular
There's a lot of clips of this, but pretty much every single chick I've met in person was like, wow, you're actually a lot nicer.
Adam Friedland
I think as a thesis, the concept that life is, is exponentially better for people that are good looking is the most obvious thing in the world. And you're just articulating that.
Clavicular
Yeah.
Adam Friedland
And I don't like. To me that just makes sense. Right, right. And that's been our bit, like what's benefited us in life. Like that's why we've just. Everyone's like, you know, like it's fine. Like it's annoying sometimes. Right. Like when, you know, just girls are like this every time I, you know, publicly masturbate. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. But, but like, but beyond that, what I'm saying is, is that like, I guess when I was younger, getting obsessed with something was something that losers did. Like cool people and hot people could just be normal. Right. And that's the fascinating thing about this is like it was never a cool thing to be obsessed with anything. And I think that that's what I'm trying to grapple with. You know what I mean?
Clavicular
Yeah. I would not really say that looks maxing is cool. I would say that it's something only.
Adam Friedland
But you're the coolest guy. You're the biggest streamer.
Clavicular
Well, I mean, it's more just that there's a lot more sides of the Internet now and there's a lot like people are just looking for what's new, what's fresh.
Adam Friedland
Have you enjoyed this?
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah.
Adam Friedland
No, dude, I think it's fascinating and I really hope that I'm not condescending.
Clavicular
No, no, no, I don't, I don't get any malicious vibe at all. You know, I would say, dude, I'm not going to lie, I already kind of forgot.
Adam Friedland
It's fine. Don't worry. That happens to me too. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's thrilling to be around me and stuff, right?
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Friedland
I'm awesome, right?
Clavicular
Absolutely.
Adam Friedland
I feel the same way.
Clavicular
Thanks for having me on. Thank you.
Adam Friedland
Yeah, I feel the same way. But I mean also like, can it. You're braided. Right For.
Clavicular
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Adam Friedland
You could call me by my. My real name, too. Okay? Yeah. Muhammad.
Clavicular
Muhammad, my guy.
Adam Friedland
I thought it was awesome. You enjoyed it, Guys. Sam. Sa.

Host: Adam Friedland
Guest: Clavicular
This episode features an in-depth and often irreverent conversation between host Adam Friedland and controversial streamer and "looksmaxer" Clavicular. The discussion cuts through internet fame, the culture of looksmaxing (an obsessive self-enhancement movement), youth disaffection, social media ascendancy, and the evolving ideas around attraction, masculinity, and self-improvement. The tone is unfiltered and often sardonic, blending personal anecdotes, theoretical talk, rapid pop culture references, and explicit exploration of status anxieties in young men.

This episode gives a raw, often comic, and revealing look inside the headspace of digital-native masculinity and the new beauty cults it births. It’s as much a satire of self-improvement and influencer culture as it is an earnest clinical breakdown of a new type of obsession. Adam successfully draws out both the absurdity and the genuine pathos behind looksmaxing, offering a window into why these movements resonate and where they might go.
For listeners interested in youth internet subcultures, modern self-improvement, and the new masculinity, this episode is both illuminating and deeply strange—a perfect artifact of its era.
