Host: Brett Cooper
Episode Overview
In this episode, Brett Cooper dives into the viral spectacle of a "Manosphere Avengers" weekend in Miami, where notorious internet personalities—including Andrew Tate, Tristan Tate, Sneako, Nick Fuentes, and up-and-comer Clavicular—gathered for a streaming-fueled party. Brett dissects the absurdity, cringe, and comedy that emerged from this gathering, along with online reactions and deeper commentary about male influencer culture, group identity, and the direction of generational values.
Key Discussion Points & Insights
1. Streaming Culture and Shifting Moods
- Brett opens with frustration about how online commentary has become fraught, especially within her own political side, noting a loss of humor and fun in internet content.
“Can things not just be funny anymore? Can we not just touch some grass and laugh at things without it being the end of the world?” (00:27)
2. Manosphere "Guys Weekend"—The Cast & Setup
- Clavicular (described as a wild, new streaming personality) gathered major manosphere figures for a live-streamed mansion party and club hop.
- The group included the Tate brothers, Fresh and Fit, Sneako, Nick Fuentes, and a set of women similar to those found on the "Whatever" podcast.
“Clavicular somehow assembled the Avengers of the Manosphere…” (01:00)
3. Pregame Antics & Over-the-Top Masculinity
- Awkward Advice and Red Pill Caricature: Veteran manosphere figures give Clavicular questionable advice on women and relationships, often veering into parody.
- Example: Justin Waller and Tristan Tate advocate never taking women to dinner.
“The only dinner a woman will ever go to with me is when I’m meeting other men. But like a one on one dinner with a girl is a mistake and a waste of fucking time and money.” – Justin Waller (03:26)
- Brett’s take: These are caricatures, straight out of a comedy, not leading men.
- Example: Justin Waller and Tristan Tate advocate never taking women to dinner.
- Clavicular’s Attempt to Fit In:
- In a painfully awkward exchange, Clavicular admits to meth use to a woman while trying to impress her.
“[Clavicular] literally straight up just tells her that he does meth. Just watch.” (02:56)
“Normal people do not do meth.” (03:04)
- In a painfully awkward exchange, Clavicular admits to meth use to a woman while trying to impress her.
- Brett highlights Clavicular’s lack of core values or convictions, constantly folding under pressure from the others.
4. Clavicular’s Political Cluelessness
- Example: Clav claims he’d vote for Gavin Newsom because, in his words, Newsom “mogged” J.D. Vance. Tristan Tate challenges this, emphasizing the importance of voting for American interests, not looks.
“You're an American, and I'm an American, so I don't tell other Americans who to vote for… But if Gavin Newsom's running against J.D. Vance, I will be voting for J.D. Vance.” – Tristan Tate (05:18)
- Brett mocks Clavicular’s “mic drop moment” turned awkward retreat.
5. On Promoting OnlyFans and Content With Women
- Sneako and Fuentes criticize Clavicular for doing content with OnlyFans girls, accusing him of promoting “e-thottery.”
- Clavicular tries to push back with a weak “if you don’t have willpower, that’s on you” but immediately folds when confronted.
“He literally folds immediately…He is the small puppy in this livestream. He is the protege…desperate to win the approval of the Tates, of the Justin Wellers, of Nick Fuentes.” (06:56)
6. Clubbing—A Satirical Apocalypse
- The group heads to a club; Brett paints it as “apocalyptic,” with everyone packed in, bored, checking their phones, “masking their boredom by vapes, pills or endless phone checking.”
- No one in the club looks like they’re having fun; everyone is posturing.
“You’re out in public, apparently socializing, and yet you’re standing in this loud, obnoxious, disgusting, sticky floor environment. Literally just scrolling on X, scrolling through your DM, seeing who liked your selfie in your like half naked dress.” (08:12)
7. Fuentes: The Fish Out Of Water
- Nick Fuentes comes off as the only authentic person at the club because he doesn’t drink, doesn’t party, and is visibly uncomfortable.
“Nick being kind of awkward and clearly not wanting to be there makes him the only one who comes off decent there.” (09:40)
- Attempts to “set him up” with women are met with polite refusals:
“Please don’t.” – Nick Fuentes (10:40)
- Viral reactions mock “alpha males” folding in front of women, but Brett points out this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
“Nick Fuentes does not want to be like Harry and get into a sexting scandal. Miami club rat hoes are not worth the risk.” (11:03)
- Attempts to “set him up” with women are met with polite refusals:
8. Manosphere, Masculinity, & the Illusion of "Cool"
- Brett notes that the supposed rebels, the red-pilled “masculine bros,” are desperately seeking validation by mimicking club culture—a hollow metric for happiness.
“Is that actually a measure of coolness? Is this something that other people should aspire to do? Are you actually happy?” (08:55)
9. Mafia Movie Vibes and the “Three Amigos” Dinner
- On the next night, Clavicular, Sneako, and Fuentes go for a dinner emulating a mafia-movie aesthetic; Brett humorously questions their outfit coordination and mocks their performativity.
“Nico and Fuentes literally look straight out of the movie Scarface.” (12:04)
10. Online Meltdown & Outrage Cycle
- The Internet’s response explodes after the group allegedly plays a Kanye track criticized as anti-Semitic in the club. Official condemnations come from the club, the ADL, and Miami’s mayor, sparking a backlash Brett dubs “the Streisand effect”—the more it’s condemned, the more it spreads.
“They will only get bigger…The more that everyone freaked out about him [Fuentes], [the more] funny memes and the videos…started circulating and going viral.” (16:55)
11. Double Standards in Cultural Outrage
- Brett critiques the hypocrisy around outrage at Kanye’s song:
"You can rap and sing about killing and shooting people...But this song specifically gets you pulled off Spotify. It gets you condemned…” (17:33)
12. Is This Healthy? Is This Aspirational?
- Brett draws parallels to trash reality TV: it’s entertaining, but not healthy or inspiring.
"It's outlandish, it's performative and it's shallow. Like, it's certainly not healthy…But it is entertaining. It's entertaining due to the cast of characters and the way they're interacting and the cringe and all of that." (18:48)
- She warns against viewing such male influencer culture as a model for young people.
13. Losing Our Sense of Humor
- Brett laments that both sides of the political spectrum have lost their ability to laugh at absurd internet moments.
“People have lost their sense of humor online, which is wild, because just a few years ago, we were attacking the left and saying…Comedy’s dead. You’re not edgy, you’re not cool. And then I look at the political right, and everybody’s clutching their pearls over everything.” (19:30)
14. Alternative Influencer Models
- Brett contrasts the Miami chaos with positive Gen Z/Alpha streamer stories: Kai Cenat (positive habits and learning), and Ishowspeed (showing Africa to his young audience).
“I'm seeing Kai Cenat, who looks so sweet and pure…I'm seeing Ishowspeed…he's basically becoming Gen Alpha's National Geographic as he tours Africa…Obviously, one of those might be entertaining, might be more like reality tv, but the other is certainly better for our culture at large.” (21:28)
Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments
Opening Rant and Loss of Internet Fun
- “I feel like reacting to things on the Internet...used to be more fun. It used to be free and freewheeling. And now every day…I'm constantly worried about offending people…I'm just over it.” (00:00)
The Miami Manosphere Party
- “It was like a glorified bachelor party, but for the manosphere of streamers. And it all took place on Clavicular’s stream on Kick.” (00:43)

Awkward Club Scene

Nick Fuentes the Outlier
- “Fuentes, who doesn’t drink, he doesn’t do drugs, who is abstinent, he’s a virgin. He was the only relatable one there because of how obviously out of place he was, which made the entire thing so genuinely hysterical.” (09:55)
Viral Moment

Final Contrast: Positive Influencers
- “I'm seeing Ishowspeed, who…I definitely have made fun of in the past…he's basically becoming Gen Alpha's National Geographic as he tours Africa and is showing his audience a completely new world…[He] actually seems interested and engaged in learning about history and culture.” (21:28)
