Drago's Background and Entry into Looksmaxing
Drago is a computer science major studying cybersecurity who originates from the Basque Country, which spans four regions in Spain and three in France. He discovered looksmax.org during a depressive period after stumbling onto a RAD 140 transformation thread posted by his friend Numo, which claimed a user grew a chin spending just $50 over three months. His entry into the community was catalyzed by a long-distance relationship ending badly when he was on a data science internship at an electric car charging company in Italy, where his girlfriend was caught taking Snapchats from frat guys—a situation he attributes to his declining looks during that time.
- Drago's original looksmax.org username was "EgoLeon" after the Resident Evil character Leon Kennedy
- After being doxed, he created a second account with username "Drago Master" inspired by Dolph Lundgren's character, later adapted to "Drago Maxer"
- He embraced the community identity after leaving his "doomer" era
Looksmaxing Protocols and Drug Stacks
Drago takes 180mg of testosterone and 180mg of Primobolan as the base of his steroid protocol, along with 25mg of Anavar (increased from 5mg), 5mg of Retatrutide (described as a "godlike drug" for appetite suppression and metabolism upregulation), daily GH for faster body recomposition and lipolysis, 0.5mg of Dutasteride to block both DHT type 1 and 2 conversions (more comprehensive than Finasteride), and 2.5mg of Minoxidil for hair preservation. He notes that drug cocktails are more dangerous than bone smashing because looks maxers layer drugs for physique, then drugs to reverse side effects, then cognitive and anti-anxiety drugs, creating experimental polypharmacy with unknown long-term effects. He considers himself and others "guinea pigs" since no one in medicine studies these combinations.
- Drago's current testosterone dosage is 300mg, described as a beginner "TRT" dose and the highest level he has ever used
- Studies show steroid users who "pinned it and laid down and rotted" still gained muscle, demonstrating that anabolic stimulus matters more than mechanical work
- Two steroid users performed 50 bicep curl reps, rested 10 seconds, then did 50 more reps without fatigue, illustrating supraphysiological recovery
- The bicep only responds to mechanical tension and load magnitude, not movement quality
- Arnold Schwarzenegger's promoted mind-muscle connection from "Pumping Iron" is considered overrated by Drago
- Natural individuals with superior genetics can respond better to training stimulus than those with subpar genetics using steroids
- Genetic variation creates dramatic differences in steroid response—some people take 5x the dosage and achieve subpar results
Bone Smashing and Physical Enhancement Techniques
Bone smashing is described as a method based on Wolff's law to increase bone mass, paired with steroids at proper dosages for results in zygos, chin, brow ridge, and infraorbital areas—UFC fighters' shins are cited as evidence of bone ossification from repeated blunt trauma. The preferred tool is a hammer since fists reduce accuracy and cause asymmetrical growth; younger practitioners now use massage guns for more consistent results. Safety precautions include bracing the head to prevent concussion.
- Thumb pulling was tried in 2023 but discontinued because asymmetry risks outweigh potential benefits
- Thumb pulling theoretically mimics palate expanders to create better OG curve, more projected zygos, and an 8-10 tooth smile versus a narrow palate's 6-tooth smile
Facial Procedures and Surgical Costs
For under-eye concerns, surgical options like infraorbital implants or undereye fat grafts are recommended over facial exercises, which produced minimal results. True hunter eyes are attributed to well-developed super orbitals (Shaun Pry cited as an example), not eye exercises alone. Drago experimented with eye exercises to correct a lazy eye that affects appearance in certain directions.
- The speaker got a lip flip (Botox to evert the upper lip) and preventative forehead Botox to lower eyebrows for a more masculine gaze
- IGF-1 can artificially grow clavicles and improve biacromial breadth for a wider shoulder appearance
- Leg lengthening surgery costs approximately $400,000 with roughly one year of downtime for recovery and physical therapy, potentially requiring $900,000 total when including living expenses
- Double jaw surgery costs $30,000 with approximately six months of recovery time and could address facial alignment issues
- Drago mentions having a leg length discrepancy causing asymmetrical development affecting his upper palate and facial alignment
Looksmaxing Community History and Key Figures
Dylan Laam and Kami were responsible for the first major ungatekeeping of the looks maxing subculture, bringing it to public attention in 2022-2023. Clavicular, Zeta, and Drago were among the few notable users who actually applied knowledge and shared results publicly. Clavicular became the definitive face of looksmaxing because he was the most extreme practitioner who documented and taught methods publicly. Jennick is another popular looks maxer who became a streamer. K Shammy is credited with repackaging information from the dark community and making it accessible to young men. The community transitioned from niche subculture to mainstream within a couple of months, with looks maxing content becoming prominent on TikTok in 2023.
- Key figures discussed include Nocturnal K (cited as having one of the community's most dramatic "ascensions" from a low starting point)
- Androgenic documented hair transplant and rhinoplasty recovery on TikTok while reportedly pinning 2,500mg of testosterone before a trip to LA
- Cookie King helped popularize the song "Nuts" by Lil Peep and has since undergone significant physical transformation
- Clavicular's old forum username was mocked by a user named Hammer ("moged by Hammer")
- His username "luch clavvicular" references his clavicles and frame structure, which became the basis for the viral "frame mogged" meme
- The ASU frat leader "frame mogged" meme became one of the most viral moments from the group's antics
Doxing and Community Harassment
Every notable member of the looksmax forum has been targeted for doxing. The speaker was doxed as leverage to extract information about another girl in the Discord server, leading to threats of expulsion and family targeting by users characterized as "womanhating incels." Clavicular experienced a similar doxxing situation. Drago initially was frustrated with how Dylan Laam exposed the forums but later concluded it was probably for the better.
- The speaker withdrew all classes believing he would be expelled from college due to forum association, but nothing happened
- He spent the semester "rotting and reflecting"
- He adopted the philosophy "it's never over" as the opposite of the community's "it's over" mantra after surviving the harassment
Height and Dating Market Dynamics
The claimed dating "sweet spot" is 6'3 to 6'5, with the speaker himself being 5'10.75 inches tall while claiming 6 foot on dating profiles as an experiment. Studies cited suggest women are "extremely bad" at estimating height, with the speaker recommending that shorter men leverage this by inflating listed height. The ethnic tax concept holds that ethnicity (particularly being Indian) significantly subtracts from perceived attractiveness due to Eurocentric beauty standards favoring fairer skin, lighter eyes, and smaller noses.
- Social media has made height a "front-of-mind" factor for women, creating a "more difficult situation" for men
- Men now face expectations to wear concealer, eyeliner, and BB cream according to the speaker
Controversial Forum Practices and Real-World Harm
The episode details a serious incident where a forum member with special needs who was being bullied in real life committed suicide after a respected member using the username "Sherry Sex" allegedly told him to "end it all" and called him "subhuman" and "beyond saving." The forums came under FBI investigation following this case. Extortion groups reportedly target vulnerable users for sport within looks maxing Discord communities.
- Multiple documented cases of cyberbullying on these forums have contributed to real-life harm beyond the platforms themselves
- The PSL (pseudoscience looks) rating system includes face rating, overall looks, and height as key factors for evaluating men
Personal Resilience Stories
Yorts shares that the worst advice he received was being told "it's over" for him, causing him to withdraw from his semester, stop talking to friends, and stay in bed for about two and a half weeks. He now rejects "it's over" statements, arguing that life circumstances can change at any moment and luck plays a role—but only if you're prepared and putting yourself in the right place.
- Drago experienced similar harm after being pressured into believing it was over, withdrawing from his entire semester and isolating himself for 2.5 weeks
- He rejects the "it's over" mindset, believing that life can change at any moment and that luck is only useful if you're prepared
- His father's guiding principle was that no matter what happens, you can always stand up—you're only done if you stay on the ground
- His best received advice: "fall down 6 times, stand up 7 times"
- He advocates putting absolute best effort and every piece of will and heart into what you care about
Streaming Career and Strategy
Drago has been streaming for 10 days averaging 1,000 viewers, describing the growth as "really good." He streamed 19 hours straight, came to the podcast, then streams again, having slept only 8 hours combined over 4 days. He admits he is not healthy right now but expects to recover after 3 days of rest.
- Kick is described as more toxic than Twitch, but his community has been "super super positive"
- His strategy involves grinding long hours, cultivating a positive community, and competing against bigger streamers he considers "lazy"
- He prefers long-term streaming over viral controversy, believing controversy creates a spiral requiring constant drama
Nutrition and Phenotype Optimization
Sodium intake is one of the main concerns for looks maxers and must be avoided to prevent bloating—food in the US contains excessive sodium causing noticeable bloating. Maintaining proper sodium-to-potassium ratio daily is essential. Women do not actually prefer dad bods despite what they say; observed behavior shows they hook up with lean, athletic guys with well-developed facial structure.
- Starve maxing (eating as little as possible or not at all) is commonly used by models preparing for events
- The starve maxing protocol involves eating nutritious food three days prior, very little two days before, and nothing the day before, sometimes using diuretics
- Daily looks maxing products include Lumifi for eyes, Vaseline for lip moisture, and scar gel for white sclera maintenance
- Nasolabial folds (lines appearing with aging that indicate less developed maxilla) become more visible under harsh lighting with flash
- Solutions include advancing the maxilla through osteotomies for structural support or using aqualix to dissolve accumulated fat, though structural issues will return due to gravity

Make sure you're holding firmly. You can hit your sigos, your chin, or your brow ridge. The areas are more preferred. Today's guest represents the most extreme form of self-improvement. Your average college kid studying computer science. His worldview completely shifted after a long-distance relationship fell apart. >> Now all of a sudden, I see a picture of her with two frat guys, and she's lying about whether she had asked for their Snapchats or not. How could she do this to me? Am I thating hideous that I deserve this? >> This led him to stumble into an online community that would send him down a rabbit hole of drug cocktails, bone smashing, and other methods to maximize his looks. >> I'd never think that I'd have more than like a handful of people to even talk to this about. Now, there's random kids that know about it and that are mentioning me and how I, oh my god, he knows clvicular. Oh my god, like what peptides should I take? It's like, what the [ __ ] >> In this episode, we'll explore the underground communities shaping the minds of young men. Question why teenagers are treating their bodies like science experiments and expose the dark side of Gen Z's obsession with perfection. What's the most toxic belief in the looks maxing community? >> Um, the dog pill probably >> the what? Drago, welcome to the Jack Neil podcast. >> It's a pleasure. >> A good place to start here. You see everyone in the news talking about bone smashing. It's this sensationalized headline to kind of uh discredit some of the stuff that looks maxers talk about. But >> what is bone smashing? >> It's just um it's a method that looks maxers use that's based on Wol's law. And um it's essentially just a way to increase your bone mass. not very significantly if done naturally. But when paired with the right, you know, stack of steroids at the right dosages and done consistently, it can lead to pretty substantial results, especially when done in your, you know, zygos, your chin, and even your infrorbital and your brow ridge. So, that's a method that's used for that, but also before going out clubbing for a slight pump, as uh the gym people might say. We can see it in, you know, UFC fighters. Their their shins are multiple times stronger than the average human beings from all the blunt trauma. After several several several strikes, the bone just oifies and it's stronger and there's it's denser and there's more volume of it. So, it's it's 100% true. The only thing that's argued about is whether it's actually a beneficial thing to do or it looks max aesthetically because of the fact that blunt trauma is very difficult to apply consistently at in on the same spot. So the growth is not going to be perfectly symmetrical. >> Their faces are actually more defined. Is that because of like the trauma that they're getting from fighting each other? >> One, yes, the the strikes to the face do 100% over time induce some growth. I definitely believe so and you can, you know, see it in the fighters. But there's also the aspect of genetic predeterminism. You can also, it's the same argument that's made for swimmers, right? A lot of people say swimming, at least in looks maxing, you should swim because it will widen your clavicles. All the swimmers you see, they have wide clavicles, long wingspans. But then you rebuttal with are their wingspans long because they've been swimming their entire life or did they become the most elite swimmers because they were, you know, blessed with wider clavicles and longer wingspans. So specifically for the fighter, it is part of the wolf's law, but it's also more likely that uh most of the top fighters you see had developed brow ridges which help protect your eyes. You know, their infrorbitals are more protruded. Their their jaw is better developed because they had better hormonal profiles growing up which makes them better athletes. >> It's a little bit of both at the end of the day. >> Can you show me how to bone splash? Yeah, unfortunately I don't have a hammer, which would be the preferred thing, but when out of a hammer, you can always resort to your knuckles. It won't be as efficient, but it'll do the trick for demonstrations purposes. First thing you want to do is you want to make sure you brace your head. A lot of people make the mistake of not bracing their head, and that's how you can very quickly develop, you know, CT or, you know, just kill your brain cells for no reason. Because in order to get gains from bone smashing, this is a consistent thing you have to do very, very frequently. So, if you're going to be punching yourself with your fist or with a hammer every day, make sure you're bracing your head. So, you'll brace, make sure you're holding firmly, and then you can hit your sideos, your chin, or your brow ridge is the areas are more preferred. Right now, I'm going to do zygos just for demonstrations purposes. These are what I we often do before going out just to get a slight pump apart from, you know, the long-term effects. >> This is not recommended to the audience. But >> that's not going hard enough, by the way, guys. But I'm not going to, you know, full on smash my face. But >> how hard would you hit yourself? >> You'd want to simulate almost a a full strike. The problem with the fist though is if you want to hit hard enough to create the same effect as a a hammer, you have to actually like wind up and hit. And that goes back to the point I made. How accurate can you be hitting the exact same spot with, you know, your fist? At least with a hammer since it's more controlled like that, you can create a a much more predictable result. Actually, something I've seen recently is uh some of these uh younger kids that are starting to bone smash, they're using massage guns cuz >> massage guns. >> Massage guns. is I mean a machine doing it is probably as close as you're going to get to a very repeatable back and forth motion smashing in the same area. >> I want to ask you do you think bone smashing is the craziest thing that looks maxers do? >> No. I the reason I think bone smashing isn't that extreme is to me I just think of it as if I um I've been fight if I was doing a martial arts or any sort of fighting sport the I'd be doing something similar anyways. In terms of what's I think is crazier, I mean just the combination of drugs, you know, the drug cocktails that a lot of these looks maxers take because you have to factor in, you know, the drugs you take for a better physique. The drugs you take to, you know, reverse the side effects from the drugs you're taking for the better physique. Now you're thinking about the drugs you're taking for better cognition and for, you know, better brain function overall. And then apart from trying to become smarter and having better brain cognition, a lot of these looks matches, they're very high anxiety, shy people because you know they come from a background of insecurity and insult them. So they'll also stack on other drugs that are meant to lower your anxiety. Some of these can be very very addictive drugs like you know Xanax and bablin. So you're pairing all these drugs with other drugs that have all these effects and you're trying to mitigate the effects by adding other drugs on top of them. Honestly, punching your face a couple times a day seems a lot less harmful long term than these mixes that you're having. So many young kids do now nowadays with, you know, the effects of two drugs together and how they react in your body, those are very often studied, right? But when you keep adding more and more and more and more, you're just adding more variables that could you know completely over there that those combinations that a lot of these look doing are very experimental. It's what's so fascinating about the community is um a lot of them are essentially guinea pigs cuz no one's really doing this in medicine. It's considered either not not worth their time or too extreme. So but you don't know a lot of the effects yet. That seems a lot more crazy to me. Interesting. So, Drago, what drugs do you take in a day? >> I was a lot worse about this before. Thankfully, I've uh so shored up quite a bit. Unfortunately, dabbled with uh with, you know, I was taking it pretty consistently. Functionally, though. I mean, maybe say I'm c I'm coping, but I I was generally trying to use it to be as productive as possible. Um we dabbled a little bit with and you know, was probably the the worst cuz um that's what went viral. By the time my parents found out I was doing drugs, I khold and uh it had to get carried out of the club by three different people elevated into the sky and thrown into a car. But yeah, those three drugs were probably the the worst ones I took that are recreational. But those are no more. The ones that 100% do still take and have added recently are primabon test I've been taking for a while. You know, that's always the basis of any looks max. You have the testosterone. It's uh it's vital. So 180 test 180 primo. I just went up from 5 mg anavar to 25 mg. Obviously we got have the reatide godlike drug. It's exploding everywhere for a reason. You know it's uh very very efficacious doing 5 mgs of that. Um I just recently did two courses of MT2. Although I do tan very easily. It's uh it's worth my time to just tan two days pin MT2 and then being tan enough than um you know not using it. And then I added three. I use GH daily and I'm on 0.5 mg detasteride and 2.5 mg minoxil daily as well to mitigate any hair loss that could be induced by androgens and the steroids that I'm taking. >> So kind of give me what each one does exactly like what's the result from each one. >> Test 180. This is considered like higher TRT. It's it's honestly like all the dosages that I'm going to be saying are very moderate. Some people are probably going to comment like why why not go higher? But you have to understand that these are not bodybuilding cycles or stacks. These are looks maxing stacks. And that's why I chose this combination specifically. The test is essential. It's the base. You need a test base whenever you're taking steroids. That's what keeps you at least a, you know, level to maintain that's going to not shut you down. Then the Primo and Anavar are going to give you a dry hard look that's very aesthetic. You know, it's a a more desirable look for girls in my opinion than a lot of these people that will do higher test dosages and add other compounds and turn into almost a water buffalo. You know, we want to avoid bloat at all costs when uh we're running trend. So, those give you that hard and and dry look. Then the GH is super super crucial for uh body recomposition. >> GH kissu. >> No, no, growth hormone. Growth hormone. Okay. H. >> Yeah. >> Growth hormone. You will notice the difference so quickly your body composition after adding it. I just recently added it again after three months of not having it. It makes burning fat so much easier and maintaining the low body fat. You're just the the lipolysis gets upregulated and it it makes it a lot easier to stay aesthetic. Then the reatride, you know, to suppress your appetite and upregulate your metabolism. MT2 gets you tan. And then the other drugs are all to basically minimize side effects from the ones previously said to block DHT conversion type one and type two. A lot of people take finasteride but that doesn't block type two which is what makes your uh collagen decrease and um people like ignoring that will never cease to like amaze me. Your health indicators are extremely important. The same way that your hairline is life as a man, your skin quality on steroids is extremely extremely important. There's no point in having an aesthetic physique if you look like a wrinkled raisin. >> What's a looks max you do that most people don't agree with? I guess like even what's something you do that Clav doesn't do? You do IGF-1? >> Yes, I I did IGF-1 a lot more frequently than than Clav. Honestly, Clav doesn't even do GH anymore. I don't think he's become he's a lot more um conservative with a lot of dosages, which makes sense. I mean, we don't really work out as much anymore. So, the drug exposure is it makes sense to minimize it if you're not going to be making the most most of it. But, in terms of what I do specifically that Clav doesn't, honestly, we're pretty evenly matched. He's got me um beat in some aspects of looks maxing that are more suited for you know your brain for example like his medication NSAM that's something I've been looking into but I haven't pulled the trigger >> he's on ENSAM >> in terms of some of the methods like what are some looks maxing methods you experimented with in the past >> thumb pulling was one of the first things that I really like went all in for in 2023 when I joined the forums >> what is that What? Thumb pulling. Essentially, you put your two thumbs on your pallet, your upper pallet. You're going to fit them in inwards and you want to push upwards and outwards to be essentially mimic what a pallet expander would do. An actual the actual instrument. However, like with the bone smashing, the amount of force that you're using with your hands in the directions are never going to be as exact as with an actual tool. So the effects themselves are already argued. But what people argue above that is even if the effects are working, you could disfigure yourself and create more asymmetries by thumb pulling if you're using your two thumbs. You know, everyone is slightly purpose of it. >> It's to expand your upper pallet. >> And why is that good? >> Um a wider upper pallet is essentially one of the most important features that you want to be attractive because it creates a much better OG curve. Your zygros will be more projected outwards and upwards, which is what we want. Your facial width to height ratio will be improved as well. And it's how you get that wanted Hollywood 8 to 10 tooth smile. All these people that you see with 8 to 10 teeth smile. >> 8 to 10 teeth smile. >> Yeah. You want that's how that's the ideal amount of teeth that you want showing when you smile. A lot of people with narrow pallets, you'll only have a six tooth smile. That's the easiest way to tell. And you'll see darkening around the corners of their mouth because the teeth will be further inwards at the edges. >> So when you smile, let me see. >> I don't have a an A2 smile for example. >> Huh. Interesting. >> Narrow pallet. And not only that, asymmetrical pallet. So that would have been worsened by the thumb pulling. That's why I quickly stopped after doing more research on it when I started. >> So is thumb pulling effective? >> It's I don't I don't think it's a it's a good idea. I I don't think it's a good idea. There's some people in the community that really push for it, but I just don't think it's worth the risk. Yes, you may create a little bit of, you know, space and uh and growth, but I asymmetries are extremely important to avoid. >> What else have you tried? >> What else have I tried? Soft tissue is very important still for your face. you know, bone structure obviously is king, but there's a lot of exercises that you'd see on the forums or even in YouTube, facial yoga is what it's called, where you could, you know, hold certain areas and exercise your lower eyelid, for example, or certain areas of your your your mouth. And it's supposed to create maybe a slightly tighter lower eyelid or, you know, um more symmetrical uh brow inclination because >> So, can you give yourself hunter eyes? Is that what they're called? >> Yeah, you can um you can try you can try to uh fraud them by doing something like this. But true hunter eyes are caused by having extremely well-developed info not infra orbitals. I mean infraorbitals as well, but the super orbitals is what people are commonly thinking about when think about hunterized like Shauna Pry. His his super orbitals are extremely extremely extremely striking and projected and that's why he has that that stare. So to think that you can just you know do some eye exercises and uh do that is um quite comical. One of the ones that I did experiment with and I do think is worth people's time is um eye exercises in the realm of following fingers and stuff like that because although these are often used to train your eyesight having a slightly lazy eye can still affect the appearance of it. you know, when you're looking around, your your lids are still going to, you know, change how tight they're going to be, especially when you're looking up a certain direction. So, these are definitely something that I I tried. I didn't really, you know, check the results. I stopped after a walk cuz I realized, you know, the the change is going to be so minimal. I'd rather just uh get inforbital implants or underey fat grafts, like just save up and pull the trigger on that. what looks maxing methods actually work like in terms of the bone smashing thumb pulling like is there anything that you still do consistently? >> Yeah. Yeah. I think the most important method is taking the right drugs believe it or not you know taking the right drugs and doing the right surgeries are the biggest return off on investment things you can do. >> What's the one drug you think everyone should take? >> Testosterone. There is a there's a reason why the warning label has been removed from it. people are realizing that it is the future honestly with the amount of things are in um our food processed foods everything we touch microplastics all they're all affecting our natural testosterones if we lived in an ideal society where this wasn't the case then maybe I wouldn't be such a huge proponent for testosterone but that's unfortunately not how we're operating so anyone in the the US specifically I think should definitely pull the trigger at a certain age >> break that down for me so you said the warning labels removed What do you mean >> before that testosterone warning label issued by the FDA which essentially just warns the user that you know there is significant enough side effects or dangerous things that can happen from ingesting this medicine or drug. It's essentially gotten put in the same class as other medicines that the average Joe would take instead of being categorized as something extremely extremely like out of reach and dangerous. >> What would you say is the most important moment from your life for us to know who you are? Random question really quick. Have you ever looked up if the shampoo you're using can disrupt your hormones? Cuz if you're like me, you probably didn't know that over 70% of men's grooming products have chemicals that can disrupt your endocrine system or your testosterone levels. Now, I care a lot about my health, but I didn't really think any healthy products could make my hair look good. So, that's why I was so glad I met the guys at Based. They gave me their shower duo shampoo conditioner, and it's made with plant-based ingredients like peppermint or argan oil. So, there's no sulfates, no hormone disruptors, nothing that's going to mess with your body. And after using it for a while now, genuinely, my hair does feel way healthier, like clean and hydrated as opposed to dry and dull. And honestly, I think it looks better, too. So, if you've been using the same products forever without thinking twice about what's actually in them, make sure to check out BassBody Works. It's a plant-based all-natural men's grooming brand that actually performs. So, if you guys want to try it out, just go to jackneal.com/based and use the code jackal at checkout for 20% off your first order. Plus, you get a free toiletry bag when you buy your first set. So, again, that is jackal.com/based or you can scan the QR code on screen. But anyway guys, back to the podcast. What would you say is the most important moment from your life for us to know who you are? >> Honestly, when I was uh doxed by the people from the forum simply for trying to improve myself and being kind to other people, it um it was probably the lowest stage of my life ever. Like I thought everything was was done for. or I thought I was going to get expelled simply from being associated to these groups. There were people in the community that sent my name, my family's information, published it online, you know, leaking very like uh sensitive information of like uh people I was with, you know, saying slurs, stuff like that, threatening to send it to my college, just threatening to send it to my dad's workplace, things of that nature. So, I fully thought my life was over. It's a kind of a similar situation to what happened to Clavvicular. You know, when that happened to him, he actually reached out and then the first thing I said to him is like, it's not as bad as you think it's ever going to be. Like most of the suffering that happened to me from that was um all mental and self-induced. Like I withdrew all my classes thinking I would get expelled. Nothing ended up happening. So, I just essentially spent the entire semester rotting and reflecting and trying to think of what I should learn from this. And eventually what uh the conclusion I came to is that I didn't actually do um anything wrong in the way I operated for me to have gotten docked. I was just I I was very jaded right when it happened because I was a very kind person in the community and I still got like the doxing and the harassment that happened afterwards and all the threats. So I was like, you know what, this I'm I'm done being nice. Like nice people always get stepped on. But then after more time went on, I was like, why would I stoop down to their level? like this is exactly the type of people in this community that I need to make an example out of and show why they're not the actual, you know, leaders of what this this means of what the face of looks maxing or even the black pill is supposed to to be about. So from that moment forward, I really just like became very concrete of my feeling about the never give up and it's never over. It's the complete opposite of the saying they always say, which is it's over, it's over, it's over. And I just it's never over because I thought it was completely over. They was they would spam that message to me every day. It's over for you. It's over for you. They put it in the docses. Oh, you thought you're getting It's over for you. It's over for you. >> Why did they dox you? >> They doxed me because they wanted to dox a different girl that um they thought was uh talking to me. So essentially they they doxed me just as leverage to scare her into really more information. So, I was essentially a just a side side victim or um side piece that got uh put in the mix. >> And why' they want to dox her? >> Just because they hate women. They were they were like womanhating incelss. She was one out of the two only girls in the in the server that we were in. And she honestly was unbearable. Like I did not like this person either. But one of the things they would tell me is like, "Okay, we won't dox you if you tell us all the information you know about her." And I was like, "I don't know it." But like even if I did like I would I wouldn't do that to another human being. And so I think it was a very defining factor and just like wanting to be the light in such a negative community and um people like K Shami I think are great examples of that as well. He really was able to make the most out of all the knowledge that is in there mixed with all the [ __ ] and you know negative energy. you know, he got a lot of [ __ ] for his uh business endeavors and repackaging information, but I think what he did was honestly a service to a lot of young men. He prevented them from needing to step into such a dark place full of negativity to find valuable information to improve their lives and then, you know, made it easily accessible to them. And I think we need more of those people in the looks maxing community. I think Clav, although many people may think is not like that, is quickly showing that he is and slowly becoming more and more so, you know, cuz he's he's very young. He's he's learning a lot and he's learning quick and I think he's really like understanding his position as this positive role model in um you know, this mainstream community that just came out of nowhere. You know, we went from a niche community to mainstream over a couple months. What do most people not understand about the dark origins of looks maxing? >> I mean, people don't realize just how long people have been in this little subculture posting and sharing very niche information with each other for because of how, you know, critical they were about making sure no one else found out about it. They were trying to gateep this from as many people as possible. That's why the whole community and you know subculture was up in arms when uh Dylan Laam and Kami really brought it to the light and it was genuinely a huge huge thing. I mean, it's obviously exploded way more even now, but the first initial like ungatekeeping of the subculture was like I mean, people were out to get him. Like they they were absolutely furious, borderline like homicidal feeling about someone releasing this information to a public. Oh, the normies can't know about this. You know, now it's unfair. Like, we need this edge. They wanted Kiki because, you know, you you can understand from their viewpoint. and they feel like they're they're oppressed and their life is so difficult. This is the thing they found. This is this thing that no one else knows about and this information that is so gatekeep that can finally help them, you know, level the playing field or even surpass their peers. And now it just got thrown out to everyone else and in recent time the last couple months every single person knows about it. Everyone's looks maxing. Everyone knows what mogging is. >> Did you used to hate Kami and Dylan Lam? I was a little bit pissed off at how Dylan was going about it. Honestly, I thought was like I was like this this motherucker, bro, like why why why is he doing this? Why is he doing this? Like how how does he possibly benefit? And I was like, you know what? Like why do why do I care that other people can now improve themselves? Like I'm that's like the opposite of an abundance mindset, you know? And like I that's why they're the crabs in the book of mentality is legitimately the the main um feeling you're gonna get from the looks max forum is everyone just wants to keep you down. They're not going to wish you the best when you ascend. They're going to, you know, say you're frauding, say you're faking this. You didn't do this. This is fake. Oh, you're coping. This isn't true. You still look like [ __ ] You're never going to look better. And it's like I didn't want to continue playing into that. So after a certain amount of time um post Dylan posting about the the forum I was like you know what this is this is probably for the better you know having K uh publish so much knowledge about it in a much more accessible format and like positive is like this is this is good you know every single notable member of the looks max forum has had people attempt to dox them you know club a killer's been they they attempt to dox them for so long yet they they dox me pretty quickly. Uh three other of my friends that are notable users there, Armid, Numo, and um some others also try to dox them. Why? Cuz they'd post their ascensions and them improving on how their lives had improved. And the amount of jealousy and bitter incel rage that would be just ruminating through those forums, it they'd all want to get them down. They they couldn't believe that someone could be accessing the same knowledge as them, but actually improving their life with it. cuz instead of self-reflecting and being like, "Wait, I could do this, too." It's a lot easier to just not believe it's real or make it not be real anymore. >> The first time I did the podcast with K Shammy, I even didn't bring up the word like looks maxing form or anything because like he was like, "Dude, they'll attack you. They'll like dox you and stuff." Um, but >> it's really interesting how mainstream it's become and it was something that was so gatekept for so long. Uh, it's kind of funny how that works, but yeah, Drago, your real name is Yorts. Uh, I think people watching this podcast might have seen you kind of on streams with Clvicular. Uh, they might have watched your content uh that you've started posting recently. And I think there's a lot of mystery to you and who you are, but how did you meet Clavicular originally? I met him directly on the forums. You know, it's how I met Zeta as well. You know, another very known looks maxer. the you few users that would actually apply knowledge and try to help other people by sharing it or posting their results, which would be like people like me, Clavicular, Zeta, they we'd find each other very quickly cuz you you know, you'd see eye to eye and you like you'd acknowledge the the balls honestly that it would take to post yourself in a place like that knowing that these people are going to be bitter and jealous and try to, you know, you over. but also the fact that even knowing that these people want nothing but bad [ __ ] to happen to you, you're still providing information to try to help them, hoping that maybe they'll change someday. But yeah, I met him on the forums and I started getting his Tik Toks popping up on my on my feed. His old username used to be mocked by Hammer actually. >> Moged by Hammer. >> Yeah, Moged by Hammer. That's uh that's what that was his username when I first was uh interacting with him. And so I just sent him a a DM. And I said, "Wait, is this your Tik Tok account?" Cuz I just want to double check. I was I had been talking to him on on the forum already, but I wasn't I wasn't 100% certain and it was if it was like actually him or someone laring as him. So, I double checked send the message because of that. And we just sent a couple other messages. And from that point forward, he invited me to a Discord server that had all the notable figures. And Jennick, who's another very popular Looks Maxer and streamer now, was also on there. And it just became like this little community of uh you know wellrespected, knowledgeable guys that were willing to you know do the weird looks maxing [ __ ] and be public about it. So that's kind of how our relationship started. And like I mentioned earlier, we really got a lot closer when he got doxed as well cuz he was aware that it had happened to me already. So I just he he came to me for advice about it. And after a year and a half, which is a long time of just discord messaging about looks maxing [ __ ] it's very autistic stuff. You know, us doing PDIO threads, which are, you know, certain procedures where you stick a needle here and you can uh increase the collagen production in certain areas to create create like a a temporary uh volume boost. So, we'd send even stuff like that, just pinning ourselves with uh with [ __ ] in our in our face. And um a year and a half later, he >> Does it only work on your face? >> No. No, you can do them on uh this is was a very interesting uh thread uh that clavvicular rate. He tried them on his mons pubis which is um the area right above your your dick to try to you know increase some some nonbone press length uh penis size. >> It's fascinating. >> Yeah. That led to us um meeting in person which was kind of where everything took off. He legitimately just tagged me on Discrago. I'm going to Miami. Let's meet up. and we met in Miami. He did his first IRL stream. We did it together. We just we went on a four-day bender, no sleeping, doing way too many um drugs. And um everyone loved it. Like we had a blast. And shortly after that, he went back home for a week and we all moved to together in LA. Me, Clav, and uh and Charlie. And that's where we met you shortly after with Kami, Cookie, and everyone else. >> That's crazy, man. Yeah, it was it was so strange because I uh did a podcast with K Shami and then >> we lost like the audio from it. And then the second one we did uh >> something got messed up with it. And then we did a third one and this was like over a six-month time span. I still never posted it. And then uh eventually we just became friends because we'd filmed so many podcasts together that he was like uh yo you want to go out with these guys? I was like who the hell is Clav? Good times in Barley, Ben. It's a good night. >> Yeah. Um, but it was so funny seeing you guys. I was like, who the [ __ ] is this 6 foot6 guy and then who's this guy that looks like Zack Efron and who's this other dude that's like shoulders are like wide as [ __ ] Uh, Clav. Um, but that was good times, man. I want to ask you, why did you start looks maxing originally? >> I the algorithm chose me, I guess. you know, uh, some people got lucky to have it appear a lot more frequently in 2023 back when the model edits were happening, but I just don't think everyone realized exactly what it was like signaling. The fact that these two super famous models were all of a sudden taking over Tik Tok. All the edits that you'd see would be Chico and Jordan just mogging. It's like, why are they why are they everywhere? Why they so attractive, right? And um I got um a video of a PSL god edit. PSL gods edit which PSL gods are essentially like the group of models or Chads that looks maxers refer to as the best looking you know it's essentially their their idols. It was an edit of all of these guys and the the caption had a Discord channel in there and that's really where everything started. I was just investigating how to look better because I felt like I looked a lot uglier than I ever did before in my life and I was getting treated worse because of it. My girlfriend at the time was uh you know taking longer to reply, treating me with less respect, doing things that she shouldn't be doing, you know, like uh just [ __ ] [ __ ] testing more than she should have been. And I previously would have, you know, tried to cope that oh my game was wrong, this or that. But because of the amount of like looks related things that were getting just bombarded on my page, something just clicked. I was like, "Wait, I'm just an ugly ass right now." She wasn't doing this when I was uh with her in college and I was working out every day, taking care of my diet. My skin wasn't [ __ ] My hair was peeking. It was right. It was blonder. I I was tanner. Everything Everything was just better, right? So, I just I I look horrible and now I'm getting treated worse. So I just that that happened at the exact time as the looks maxing uh edits blowing up and it just made me look deeper and uh I fell down the rabbit hole. >> Tell me more about the situation with your the girl you were dating. >> Mhm. >> What happened exactly? >> So essentially we were about to fully like tie tie the knot like officially date, but it was summer, right? And I was going to be going to to Italy for an internship. So, I was like, "You know what? Let's just be exclusive, not officially dating, and when I come back, we I will ask you out, you know, like legit take you out and pass you my girlfriend, but I just I I don't see a point asking my girlfriend like the day that I'm leaving to Italy. Let's just see how this goes and be mutually exclusive." And right when I met her before uh summer, I was probably the best looking that I had been during that era of my life. I just finished uh pledging, so I was working out a lot. It's a lot of physical exercise that you do. Wasn't eating as much, so I was leaner. My hair looked good and I was tanned from being outside a lot. So, I mean, she obviously found me attractive and um that's why we started talking. But in Italy, just everything went to [ __ ] right? I obviously would still send her pictures of myself and you know, you would you would think that something as small as that, just like selfies slowly worsening looks being able to affect her her behavior that much. like when she started taking longer to respond or showing more attitude and all of a sudden she's going to parties frequently, which she wasn't before. Now all of a sudden I see a picture of her with two frat guys and she's lying about whether she had asked for their Snapchats or not. And that was just kind of like the breaking point. I was like, "What the fuck?" Like I how could she do this to me? Like do am I am I that [ __ ] hideous that I deserve this? Which it sounds crazy to say, right? Why would a hideous person deserve that regardless, right? No one deserves that in general. But it's subconscious in our mind that when someone is uglier, you can get away with [ __ ] with them more. You can respect them less. And when I realized that that's what was happening to me, I just I was so angry. Just anger at the fact that I had to let myself like stoop to that point of of looks and let her um essentially humiliate me cuz that that was something that was fully in my control. If I had, you know, kept my looks at the same level or even better, the positions would have been reversed. I would have had technically more power over her now cuz she would have, you know, been respecting me even more than when we had just started seeing that I'm improving. So, >> so you were more attractive when you met her and then you started getting >> less attractive. >> Why? I was just super depressed being alone all the way across the country seeing all my friends party while I was just interning in a apartment with four roommates that were 15 years older than me and I'd just go to the office and all my co-workers were 15 years older than me and I had nothing fun to do. I just I'd go to work and I'd come back home and I'd watch YouTube. >> What internship were you doing? >> I was doing a data science uh internship in for a electric car charging company. So just a lot of time on my computer just talking to absolutely no one. >> And you kind of stopped working out like >> Yeah, I was I stopped working out. I was just snacking on stuff because I was stressing. The time zone difference was big enough to where like I'd be, you know, obsessively looking at my phone anxiously because she wouldn't be responding or like, "Oh my god, wait, it's night time. There she's clubbing." you know, just very insecure [ __ ] that just would pile on because I'd get insecure and then because I was insecure and anxious, I'd start, you know, eating more. I' i'd eat out of [ __ ] anxiety and then I would get more insecure because of it cuz I could tell that I looked worse in the pictures I was sending her. And all of a sudden, I'm not sending her as many pictures. And it just it just all snowballed. And at a certain point, I just I snapped back to it. I stumbled onto a very important thread on looksmax.org. One that was essentially what changed my life and after that our relationship changed for the better until I cut things off with her in person when I went back to college. >> Did she cheat on you? >> I I cons I consider it cheating. She didn't like make out or do anything of that with other people, but taking a picture with two frat guys like holding them and then asking for their Snapchats is uh disgusting in my opinion. While you have, you know, your boyfriend in quotation marks or person that you want to be dating um halfway across the world just like working his ass off like just texting you like heartfelt messages saying that they miss you. I'd say that's basically cheating. >> So you get blackpilled. >> Yeah. You go on the forums and you see a thread. What does that thread tell you to do? >> It was a RAD 140 transformation thread by my friend Numo. >> What's that? What's RAV 140? >> Renville 40 is a is a SARM selective androgen receptor modulator. It's not it's not actually like a steroids little brother, but that's probably the easiest way to explain it to the viewer. It is very very very androgenic which means that it improves your you know your facial your facial structure in in a way. The the main reason the thread really interested me was because this uh guy who was you know a pretty boy before with a not so masculine face suddenly spawned in a very very robust chin. You know something that I didn't think I had at the time either right I thought something that could be improved on. I was like, "So, this guy just took this RAD 140 SAR, which was, you know, an oral liquid for 3 months, worked out a little bit. My physique was still better than his after the the the cycle, right? But the changes in his face were, you know, you couldn't deny them. So, I was just astounded that this person had just spent $50 and grown a chin and that that's this was available to me the entire time, but I just didn't know about it." So, after seeing that, I was like, "Okay, well, if there's one golden nugget, there has to be more. What else is there that I don't know about?" You know, this guy just spawned in a chin. Can I spawn in, you know, um, better under eye support? Can I, you know, spawn in better infrorbitals, which are the bones underneath, uh, your eyes that help you have a tight lower eyelids? So, I just kept looking and I did more and more research and that's where I eventually made the decision to, you know, quit the quit the [ __ ] not just do a rad 140 cycle, but fully hop on testosterone, which is, you know, a lifetime commitment. It should be at least. And it just evolved from there. >> Do you have any plastic surgery? >> Uh, no. I got Botox. >> Botox? >> Yeah, I got a I got a lip flip, but that's not that's temporary, right? So, it's it's faded now. Lip flip is where they inject Botox into your upper lip in order to out turn it out a little bit more. It's to avoid having to get lip filler, which for men is very difficult to do right without, you know, looking gay. And then I also got preventative Botox on my forehead just to avoid wrinkles and also to lower um your eyebrows a little bit more to have a more masculine gaze. >> Would you ever get plastic surgery? >> Um yeah, 100%. I think my the biggest barrier for me has always been, you know, money and the amount of work I'd have to do and when I'd have the money to actually do it. Cuz for for me, like getting plastic surgery at an age where everyone's going to find out and you're already like not so young where like you're going to enjoy all the effects of finding a partner at an early age cuz you improved your looks. It wasn't worth it anymore. But you know, if you were able to spawn me a million dollars right now, right, and I could get leg lengthy surgery 400k and legitimately just do nothing for an entire year cuz just going to use the rest of the 900k to relax, recover, get the best physical therapy possible to, you know, regain the functions of my legs. I would get it in a heartbeat, you know. >> Do you plan on doing any of the surgeries? I think that the amount of time it would take me to get a million dollars to afford a leg lengthening surgery would be later in my 20s like 24 25. So at well not a million dollars like net but to the point where I can just spend like a million dollars and still like be be comfortable. It just at 25 at that point I already want to have a partner that that I'm interested in. Right. So it would be too late. It have to be like right now. And most people just don't have that that access. Do you think you're going to get a double jaw surgery? >> Depending on how the next months go with the growth and, you know, my my income with with streaming and everything else that I'm planning on doing, then I I do want to get a uh a consultation done very soon because um a a big like problem that I have is uh asymmetry from my lateral pelvic shift because I have a leg length discrepancy, which means one of your legs is physically shorter than the other. Some people have a non- like physical leg length discrepancy which means that it's more functional. You can appear to have a shorter leg because your hip might be tighter on one side but mine has always been a little bit shorter. Right? So this has made my entire development be on this plane instead of this one which has led to an asymmetrical upper pallet asymmetrical you know alignment. And that's something that a double jaw surgery could fix and help uh fix some slight uh maxilla recession. So, for $30,000 and uh you know, around six months of recovery, if I were able to afford it like right now, I would. The only re the only like drawback that I have is like you said, we're growing really quickly right now. We're blowing up and that downtime can be make or break for completely [ __ ] over your virality and we're we're giga viral right now. So, >> do you think Clav will ever get his double jaw surgery? Yeah, I think it's just a a matter of him g getting his [ __ ] passport again because he he doesn't have it right now and um finding the right time to do it cuz I personally I I wouldn't [ __ ] I would drag him back. I wouldn't let him take do his [ __ ] surgery right now. It would be a waste of um of time and a risk he doesn't need to take. I mean, when you really look at it, the double jaw surgery for him is um a niece up his sleeve that he can use whenever he wants and he clearly doesn't need it right now. his looks have already been at a high enough level to prove his point, which is that ascending has made his life easier, and now he's getting all this better treatment and opportunities because of it. So, I think that is um good deterrent for at least waiting a little bit more to get it, but I I do think he'd eventually get I mean, he he's 100% about what he talks about. I mean, just transparently, when I did the podcast with him, I thought he was going to get the double jaw surgery and then after by the time I posted my podcast, he'd gone so viral that I was like, I don't think this dude's going to have time to do it in the near future. Yeah. So, it it makes sense, but >> it's a downtime really that >> Yeah, it's interesting that Looks Maxing has been around so long and it's been fairly I mean, there's levels to mainstream, right? Uh but like K Shammy, Dylan Latham blew up in 2022, 2023 talking about it. Cookie King talked about it. Like it was still kind of niche relatively, but with Clav, it's just in news headlines all over the world. Like why do you think Kovvicular is so viral? >> Because he's the actual face of Looks Maxing. You know, no shade to any of the other guys. they simply were aware of it as well and part of the community, but Clvicular was quite literally the the face of the forum when he started posting. He was the one doing the most extreme stuff and showing people how to do it, testing it out on himself, willing to take the risk and teach other people's how to take that risk themselves. So, he's 100% going to be more viral than the other guys cuz he's doing [ __ ] they're not willing to do and that no one else is willing to do really. I mean, no one else on the forums was doing it at least publicly. you know, maybe they're doing it in private, but not even showing other people how to do it. But he was he has the aspect which is he's teaching people how to do it. And then the fact that no one even is like ballsy enough to do this to begin with and he's out here saying people should do it. That's how strongly he believes about it. I did it on myself and I'm telling you, you should do it too cuz look at how look at where it took me. And then he got so much [ __ ] for that, right? Until he ascended during that one time frame where he blew up and it was like, wait, maybe he was right. And that's really what pushed everything to the top because they knew, damn, he believes it and he just proved it. And all the nayers just kept proving him right and right and right because whenever they'd be hate, something they'd always attack is, oh, this is bad about his looks or this doesn't look so good about you. So you're trying to, you know, disprove him by insulting his looks, which is his main, you know, it's the main thing he's pushing and how people will completely change their like perspective of you or their treatment of you completely just based on your looks and you that's the first thing you attack, >> right? >> It's like to try to this about his message. It's it's extremely funny because they just kept making him more viral by doing that. That just proved them more and more right. Something too to note I think is that when K Shammy and Dylan Latham talked about looks maxing they kind of talked about soft maxing a lot. Yeah. >> Uh I think the only technical hard max that Kami talked about was Accutane. Uh you know just like that's the only pharmaceutical intervention. >> Yeah. And even then that wouldn't even be that would still be considered a soft max to everyone else in like the looks maxing community. But >> right >> for the for the normies in in the mainstream that's like okay this is like wait K you're you're really recommending this like this has negative side effect it's like okay everything has negative side effects that we recommend on looksmax.org. >> How many kids have you guys met that are doing actual looks maxing >> almost all of them now like really >> basically every one of them asks about peptides and that's already more experimental I'd say than taking Accutane. >> Wow. Yeah. You got 15 year olds, 14 year olds. >> Have you met like any kid that you're like, "Yo, bro, like maybe you shouldn't be hitting yourself with the hammer or like >> No, I don't think um at least not that I can recall right now. I don't think we've met any that like fully like ours say, like, oh, are you always just bone smashing?" But I'm sure a lot of them have like that we that we've met. >> How does that make you feel? Oh, really really strange, you know, cuz like I'd never think that I'd have more than like a handful of people to even talk to to this about just like six months ago. I talked about this with Clvicular and Zeta and maybe like a two other guys. Now there's random kids start pulling up to my sister that know about it and that are mentioning me and how I oh my god, he knows clavvicular. Oh my god, like what peptide should I take? kids like what the [ __ ] do you think kids should be taking peptides? >> I think it's I think it's very beneficial to take them when you're younger because that's when you have, you know, the the greatest results from them. But at the same time, kids are really stupid. You have to be the right kind of kid. be able to ego check yourself as well because I'm sure there's going to be kids be watching this right now saying, "Oh, I'm that guy. I'm that kid. I'm this 15-y old kid. I'm super smart. I just read a couple threads on.org. I'm going to do this stack and bro, everything's going to come out fine." It's like, no, trust me, there's a very, very small handful of you guys that are going to be able to do it correctly. And that's why it's important to you know that that's why it's so important that someone like Clvicular has been the one to popularize it in a way because yes there is a negative aspect of you know introducing these younger kids to it but at least he was someone that had done it as a kid as one has done all the you know research and the guinea testing to disavow certain things and push other things and he hasn't he doesn't push anything he hasn't done on himself and he will correct himself like he has gone and corrected things he's done in the past and say okay this is like don't do this anymore. For example, the thumb pulling. >> What's something that you stopped doing? >> The thumb pulling was the first thing that was like, okay, this is going. The facial exercises as well, those could have like minimal results, but they just weren't worth the time. It's at a certain point like you just have to pick the handful that you think are going to have the biggest impacts cuz the mental fatigue of like the amount of [ __ ] you really can like get into is it does get to you. Like there's there'd be like certain times where I like open up my notes and be like, "Okay, here's my ascension plan. Going to get okay, need get lip flip, darken eyebrows, dye eyelashes, too. Get uh let to lengthen the the eyelashes. Start your DGH cycle. Get a consultation for this. Go to the orthodontic and ask for, you know, your um Invisalign, but this time ask for them to correct your crossbite." And then you start getting way way way more in depth. And at a certain point, okay, am I going to have to worry about all of these very frequently because a lot of them aren't permanent. Like you having to frequently redye your eyebrows or your eyelashes or making sure your hair's consistently got highlights in it because it's got it's better for your coloring or you're maintaining the correct tan. It's like if you got to worry about all these and also do a certain amount of facial exercises every day and and the right rep ranges apart from your daily workouts that you're doing to maintain your physique, it's like it all adds on. It's can't you can't have a full-time looks maxing job. You still have to ascend in other areas of your life. >> But if looks maxing is true, like isn't it pretty important? Like how much time do you I mean, if we're being fair, like I know you guys work all the time and you're streaming and this thing is super huge, but >> it's more of a a thing that you do while doing other things. Like for example, like technically if you're working and you're maintaining good oral posture, right, you're technically looks maxing at that point, right? You're you're preventing yourself from developing worse mouth posture and slow slowly recessing yourself over time just cuz you're mewing. But in terms of like very active looks maxing, it's really not that timeconuming if you're sticking to like the main things are going to have the big results. You know, if you just like any um routine that a girl would have in the morning or even just a well-groomed guy, you can line it out. Like for example, something that I always do is I'll always like curl my lashes after I shower and put my shirt on. Make sure my my eyebrows are, you know, brushed properly and and you know, groomed, plucked on on the sides in the middle. Make sure to carry some Lumifi with me. Make sure your scara is white. The scar is the whites of your eyes. um some some Vaseline for, you know, lip moisture. Make sure I'm having adequate amount of potassium. That's something that is always on my list every day. Making sure you have the right ratio of sodium to potassium. Avoiding sodium at all costs. You don't want to be bloating. You don't want to be bloating. So, that's that's honestly one of the main ones I feel like all Looks Max are frequently thinking about and it's on the forefront of their mind is uh the the sodium. The sodium the blood pill is brutal. >> Hey, really fast. Did you guys know that we started this podcast a little over a year ago? And in that time, we've had the chance to sit down with some of the best entrepreneurs in the world. But honestly, these conversations have kind of made me question everything I thought I knew about investing, saving money, or retirement. Growing up, I was taught, put your money in a 401k, get a Roth IRA, and invest in the S&P 500. But what I've realized recently is things are changing fast. Crypto's becoming really mainstream. The S&P barely outpaces inflation. And I'm the guy that was investing in it for the past few years inside of his retirement account. That's why I was so excited when I met the guys at iTrust Capital. They let you invest in gold and cryptocurrency directly in your IRA, which I didn't even know was legal. And if you have an existing Roth or 401k, you can transfer it over for no extra cost. You get all the tax advantages while getting to invest in assets that have way bigger upside and aren't tied directly to the dollar. With just a small 1% transaction fee, you can buy Bitcoin, gold, even Fartcoin with a tax advantage retirement account. I'm currently in the process of transferring my accounts over to their platform, but if you guys want to do the same, go to jackneal.comrust. Anyway, back to the podcast. >> Does it make that big of a difference? I can't I can't even tell if I'm bloated. >> It doesn't make as big of a difference after you reach a certain level of leanness. There's obviously there's way less bloating to like occur, but it's still just like with especially in the in the US, the amount of sodium they put into any food that's going to have sodium like any salty foods is just you can't you don't just have a little bit like you'll instantly have like a comical amount of it that's going to bloat you like guaranteed >> for me like I always see it. I mean I don't know if that's also like the looks maxing autism making me be hyperritical of myself. For example, I'll avoid eating before going out because I know that like I'll have dinner, it's gonna be something salty and I'd rather uh be deep bloated and in a in a more flush state. >> Just to transition a little bit to know more about you and kind of some of your unique opinions and views on the world. Do you think any girls actually like dad bods? >> No, I don't think anything that girls say and comes out of their mouth is what they really are attracted to or believe. There's a lot of uh gaslighting that's going on with uh with girls. Everything that they say, "Oh, I want him to treat me this way." Then they'll be attracted to the complete opposite type of treatment. I like this type of body. They won't we don't we won't ever see them hook up with a with a guy with a dab bod. It's going to be a lean, athletic looking guy with, you know, well-developed facial structure. And he's probably going to be um a slayer that treats them with less respect than they they are going to claim they want. They're, "Oh, I'm worth so much. I'm worth this. I don't need a man, but I'm this independent." And then they'll get it up with a guy that literally like just treats them like [ __ ] and calls them [ __ ] because deep down like they don't know what they want. They they they really don't. But neither do men a lot of the times. It's it's it's pretty interesting. You should, you know, go by how people act, not know what they say. Cuz I mean, people are they have no reason to really tell you what what they feel like cuz even subconsciously they don't want to be judged, right? But their actions will always like give them away. You can't really fake that. You can't fake your attraction. >> You don't think people tell you the truth about how you look? >> I mean, we've all seen in the comments girls leave on their fat friends [ __ ] Instagrams. You think they're telling the truth? Oh, Slay Queen, you look great. It's like, no, you look you look >> And you think they do that? Why? Honestly, I don't know if it's like a fake nicity that they all do because then it's returned to them and it looks nice when you have a bunch of girls just saying you look great. Inflate everyone's ego. Every everyone gets to inflate their ego. You know, guys don't really do that to each other. So, we stay a little bit more, well, not a little more, but way more level-headed. But girls from like a young age and when they get social media, they're just bombarded with compliments. And um I mean, what are you going to do? Tell your fat friend that she looks fat? You're going to get judged for it. I mean, if if a girl says that to her friend to try to genuinely help her out, she will be shunned for it. Especially a couple years. I mean, maybe a little bit less now that people are getting a little bit less snowflaky and uh you know, cancel cultury, but you know, she'll still get [ __ ] on for the most part. >> Have you ever starve maxed? >> Yeah, I'm starve maxing right now. >> What does that mean to you? um eating as little as possible or just not eating at all for a whole day which is often done by suppressing your appetite with uh certain you know uh drugs for example reaide how stimula I mean suppresses your appetite but when I'm like full-on starve maxing like I'll just take my doctor's uh ADHD prescription I'll I'll try to save it up a couple days and I'll take it on the weekends or Wednesdays so some days I can take two. Yeah, it's normally in preparation for some sort of a event where you have to be peing. I mean, models do it. It's it's you don't the term starve maxing just is got a very negative connotation to it because obviously starving is a negative thing but all models do it when getting ready for a big event or big fashion fashion show or a big shoot because I mean it's not maintainable but if it's a one-time event where like you're going to take an image that's going to be captured you're going to look better by doing it. If you were going to walk on New York Fashion Week, what would you do to prepare? >> Three days before I'd have a lot of like high, very nutritious food and then the two days leading up to it, I'd have like very little food and then the day right before I'd have nothing to eat and try to flush out as much uh liquid as possible. I'm sure they probably I mean I don't I'm not tapped into the model world to that extent, but I'm sure they apart from naturally flushing waters out, they probably use diuretics as well to really push over the edge. I mean, that's just what sells for them, I guess. >> Just to look as good as possible in general. Like, would you get a tan? Like, what would be all the things? Yeah. >> Well, the first thing you need to find out is your phenotype and what kind of archetype you fall into as a as a guy or as a girl. The best way to do this is find a model you look like or an actor you look like and try to mimic their hairstyle, their coloring as as closely as possible. Like for example, if you find an actor and he has the same head shape as you, same color eyes, um odds are you're going to want to mimic their hair color and their haircut and their skin coloring as well. So for the most part, everyone's going to benefit from a tan. It's a very attractive feature. Women are sexually attracted to it. But there are some instances where people are better off being a little bit pale because there's there's three types of colorings. There's a there's silver coloring, bronze coloring, and then golden coloring. We would have more what's golden coloring. We'll have the blonde hair. where we can have tan and then blue eyes. Bronze coloring is more so what you'd expect from, you know, like uh Mediterranean, so Spaniards and Italians, brown hair, brown eyes, and still also a tan. And then silver coloring is more so what you'd expect from like uh Celtic people like Ian Summerhaler maybe. Uh black hair, striking blue eyes, and more pale uh skin color. >> Celtic people. >> Yeah. >> So like if you're Irish. >> Yeah, exactly. More most North Atlantic people are Irish. like Shauna Pry Ian Summerhalder I'm pretty sure has Irish ad mixture as well. >> I'm Irish. I'm British. >> Oh, there you go. >> Yeah. Yeah. I mean, if you if you dyed your hair black or like let it darken out, you'd you'd have the the same coloring right now. >> You think my coloring would be better if I dyed my hair black and >> got tanner? No, I I think like me, you'd tan with the with the blonde woods probably suit you better. >> Yeah. Yeah, I think so. H Where are you from originally? >> Spain. which is ironic because I just said Mediterranean have the the bronze collaring, but I I happen to come out uh golden I guess. Yeah. North of Spain, specifically the Bas country, which is this little very very little area in the border of Spain and France. There's four regions in Spain and three in France. It's called Bas country, but it's not actually a country because they didn't they haven't allowed us to gain our independence. But that's why my name's a little bit odd. Your It's I O R I TZ. It's not a Spanish name. >> What's your last name? Eggor. >> What's it? >> Eggor. E G U I L E O R. >> Huh. Interesting. And then why did they call you Drago? >> Drago Master is the username that I chose for my second account on looksmax.org. Because uh after I was doxed, I had to delete my first one. >> What was the first one? >> Uh it's over Leon. >> It's what? >> It's over Leon. Leon. Like Leon. Kennedy, the character from Resident Evil. So when I joined, I was also a doomer. like the same guys that I said I don't I didn't want to be like anymore after that certain point. I just it's sober. Everyone everyone would say that that phrase. It would just resonate with me at the time. Especially cuz when I made the first account was when my girlfriend at the time was um you know [ __ ] me over. So obviously I was on my sad boy sad boy era. But the second account was um right when I was like I was more in like an uplifted spirit. I was getting a [ __ ] ton of edits of uh Dolph Lon Grin with Ivan Drego and uh Rocky and Heave to me was like the full package like Moger. He was like giga Chad. He has like 150 IQ. He chemical engineer and PhD, famous actor, black belt karate, um, mogs, you know, just good-looking overall, 65, insane physique. Like, he had like the not even the triad, like the trinity or what what the combination of all the things you could want as a as a man to succeed in as many aspects as possible. So, I just put Drago Maxer because we had to be like, I'm in Drago. >> It's crazy that it has 150 IQ, too. Um, >> yeah. I mean, maybe slightly lower, but he very high IQ. >> I know it's super high. I've seen that before. But do you >> I think has two PhDs, not even just one. It's pretty ridiculous. >> Damn. He limaxed. Uh, do you >> do you put a lot of importance on IQ? >> Yeah. I even though I'm really focusing on the streaming thing right now, I would um I really want to go into cyber security in the terms of like my professional life. Like I want to use all the money that I I'm able to hopefully make over with the next year's uh streaming and entertaining people and making people laugh and use that to fund my my company eventually cuz that's what I'm majoring in right now. I'm still in school. And >> you're still in school? >> Yeah. Yeah. I was a C computer science major, but I really just fell in love with cyber security. I transferred to online so I could, you know, still stream and live with clvicular and get my degree. And you know, it's it's kind it's a [ __ ] grind. I'm not going to lie. It's uh >> Did you hear that he's in college? >> Yeah, >> dude. This This is the first podcast guest where someone's in college, >> actually. >> Yes. >> [ __ ] Yeah. Last semester. It's uh it's last last bush. >> Oh my god. >> Yeah. >> So, what I I think we should also give people context too of like how many hours have you been up for? Uh, so I just came here straight after ending a 19hour stream. Um, where we started at I think 8:00 PM and No, I think we started earlier. I don't know. We started sometime in the afternoon. 19 hour stream, came straight here, you know, filmed podcast back toback. And then when I get back, I have to start stream again. And uh, the day before that, I streamed for I think like 15 hours as well. So I've slept a combined eight hours the last four days, I think. something like that. But, you know, right now we're viral, so you have to put your head down and just [ __ ] grind. You have to grind. >> Yeah. What I'm realizing uh with all the guys who come up is just like it really is about putting in the [ __ ] work. There's been so many podcast guests where people don't seize the opportunity, you know? It's like I'm like, "Hey, I'm in this area." Dude, I I was in Miami. I just posted a story with Clav, who's the biggest streamer in the world right now, arguably. And I texted other people. I'm like, "Hey, you want to do a podcast?" and they're like, "Yeah, we can maybe do it next week." I'm like, "Bro, just like come over here and like film something." It's I don't know. >> Yeah, you got to seize the moment. That's exactly how I feel about it right now. It's like, yes, I'm you know, putting strain in my body and negatively affecting my health, but it's like there's a lot of [ __ ] to be done and, you know, extraordinary like results take extraordinary measures and because of the long hours that I've been putting in, I've been able to get the attention of, you know, bigger streamers. Obviously uh being friends with Clvicular helps with that as well, but I've gotten recognition for the amount of hours I'm putting in and it's really helping, you know, grow really, really quick. I mean, I've been streaming for 10 days and we've already got getting a thousand viewers uh on average. So, it's really good. >> Do you think you're healthy? >> Uh not right now, but give me like 3 days of rest and I'll I'll I'll be healthyish, you know. I haven't gotten my blood markers checked. I I'm gonna do that soon. You know, I just quit vaping. So, I am on a tra upward trajectory apart from the no sleeping, but I do I do want a health max. You know, >> you do care about your health. >> Yeah. Yeah. I um I want to I don't want to make my parents worry about my health to a crazy degree. I mean, obviously they already worry from the steroids, but when you like are adding on more [ __ ] on top of that, it's like, okay, steroids I'm not letting go because those actually make me look better. But I can definitely let go like the vaping and the other [ __ ] that is just out of, you know, just it's just a bias. It doesn't actually send me in any way. >> What's the biggest difference in the way that people treat you since you've looked better? >> They just respect you more. They're they want to hear you out. All the advice you give them, no matter what it could be about, is just more val more valid to them. This is something that even non looks maxes, just people to that go to the gym 100% know about. Like you don't having a good physique doesn't necessarily make you knowledgeable or have good advice, but the moment you gain a little bit of results, you'll have friends and friends of friends and family members coming to you like you're some sort of authority figure just because of the physique you earned. You might just have good genetics. They they don't know. But when you can tell them any [ __ ] and they'll believe it cuz the results speak for themselves. >> Yeah. When I met you, I was like, "All right, this dude has jacked arms and he has blonde hair and blue eyes. I have blonde hair and blue eyes." I'm like, "How the hell does he have eyelashes?" That was like the first thing I asked you. I was like, "Bro, what are you doing for this? What's your plan to blow up on social media over the next few months?" I want to I want to have the craziest work ethic out of all the streamers with in with combining actual like IRL with desktop because the reality is yes streaming is extremely competitive but a lot of the biggest streamers are would be my competition right now are low-key pretty lazy and um I'm like the complete opposite you know like I'm coming up right now so obviously the hunger's there but the other thing is that most of the people that do IRL they Since streaming started from gaming and desktop content, the barrier for entry for IRL people that came at the right time recently was so low cuz like anything in person is going to be more entertaining that on a desktop. It's extremely hard to beat that. And so you got the people that are like just clocking in at the at the correct time that you know blew up because they started at the right moment. But that doesn't necessarily mean that they're the most entertaining people in the world. that their platform can't be just replaced by someone that's actually gonna put in more hours and be more entertaining and have the, you know, be part of the the niche that's most vow right now. But honestly, my plan is just to grind really long hours, cultivate as positive of a community as I can, and I've we've done a great job so far. I mean, Kick is known for being a lot a lot more toxic than than Twitch, but I'm honestly really impressed. Like I've been hearing like all my community is super super positive right now. So I just I want to keep doing that cuz I think it's a breath of fresh air in a streaming space where people are used like rage baiting people and being controversial on purpose, not necessarily organically just to piss people off and cross drama. I think sometimes being so far into the opposite side can actually be better. And that's kind of what I want to do. Obviously, I'll still do some [ __ ] [ __ ] and and be controversial, but it won't be chasing the the same negative type of vibe that they are. >> Which one do you think will get you bigger results? >> I know that the one that would get me viral first at a at a bigger following quicker would be be super controversial and um problematic and, you know, just wild. Just goal and do crazy [ __ ] But I um I prefer having a long-term streaming career cuz streaming is really something that can come and go pretty quickly. That's why like taking it more slow, taking the more hours, just being essentially always there for for the community and just slowly but surely, you know, getting more in tune with them, seeing what type of content they they like and are going to keep liking over over the long run. Cuz you can't really do that when you're doing um viral clips and controversy. Like if someone enjoys something, they enjoy something. No one enjoys controversy for the controversy. It's just it's spiral. It's uh makes you feel that certain emotion at that point, but what what it is is not it's not a consistent thing. You have to keep finding it. >> Do you tell girls that you look specks? >> I didn't before, but now I just So, it's interesting cuz I was getting to a point where I was like, "Fuck, I'm going to have to start telling girls that I do cuz I wasn't before. I was I was hiding it by all means." But now it's gone from one end to the other so quickly that's like I don't need to tell them because they already know. So, I kind of skipped that step. But like >> why' you used to not tell them? You just want to appear like you're not putting effort into the results you're getting. Like if a girl thinks you're good-looking and realizes you spend, you know, even just an hour of your day on your looks, now it's manufactured. It's fake. It's kind of like television. You know, the magic gets the the magic of television gets thrown away if you see all the behind the scenes on how everything works. Same with a magic trick. All of a sudden, it's not magic. >> What do you think is the core reason though? like uh from like a nature perspective. >> If your looks come from, you know, using certain types of techniques and curling your eyelashes, it's not natural. You weren't born with the genetics to have those longer lashes to protect you from debris or whatever it may be, which is, you know, a good mating signal or that you make a good mating partner. Instead, you faked it. And if they know you faked it, then they know you're not as, you know, well fit to recreate with than the guy that doesn't. M >> like you do not want to let girls know you're working out consistently, you know, meal prepping. They'd rather think that you just lift hay bales and you just you're high testosterone, you you lift heavy stuff and you work for your family and your genetics are so good and you're so fit for, you know, bearing children and being a father that you have a great frame and physique because of it. Not that you pin IGF-1 to artificially grow your clavicles and, you know, improve your belltoid, which is the distance between your shoulders. Sorry, I laughed. The button ripped on it. I thought it was too much frame. >> Frame marked the shirt. >> That's what first popped to my mind. I was like, "No way, bro. [ __ ] chest is too big for my >> The fact that you're wearing my shirt, too." The time Drago mogged [ __ ] Jack Neil's shirt with his chest. >> We got We got to get you to do it next uh next podcast. Just hit that for the guest. >> What's the fastest way to grow your biceps? hop on roids and do bicep curls every day. That's basically what I did on ironically once once I got on steroids and I wasn't like well I was consistently hitting the gym but even when I wasn't like I'd still do curls every day. Just if you have frequent stimulus the muscle is going to grow. it's gonna grow. And >> do you have to be like that careful with uh the technique >> for >> and stuff? Like do you think it's kind of cop to like worry about like the exact >> the mind of muscle connection and the pump >> and like the hypertrophy and like all the reps like do you have to be that meticulous about it? high if you're doing high intensity >> actually the it depend there's different training um principles and whether you're natty or not can like change what's more efficacious but when you're not natty like the frequency it's just like you recover at such a fast rate that you can literally just be swinging [ __ ] around and you're getting stimulus left and right it doesn't [ __ ] matter just do something it's been shown in studies that people I forget if it was trying another steroid but they essentially just pinned it and just lard they they laid down and rotted and still gain muscle. So now imagine that, but you're doing curls every day. You're going to [ __ ] make absurd gains. Make absurd gains. >> The first time I ever worked out with someone who uh did steroids, it was these two huge guys walked in the gym and like here I am doing these like slow bicep curls like being so ridiculous and they literally like throwing them and I'm like, "How the [ __ ] are you guys not tired?" And they did like 50 reps and then they like took a break for 10 seconds and then they did 50 more reps and I was like, "This is ridiculous." It's cuz yes, it's bad form. They're swinging, but your bicep doesn't know what a swing is. It doesn't It doesn't know what bad form is. All it understands is mechanical tension and how much load it's under. So, if he's swinging it, but he's just swinging a [ __ ] 100 pound dumbbell 50 [ __ ] times, that's a lot better than [ __ ] doing a 10 pound dumbbell lasting 10 seconds [ __ ] meditating and getting your brain in the muscle for the mind muscle connection, you know? >> Yeah. It's really interesting. So, so you think a lot of that stuff is cope? Yeah, I was honestly very um form pill I guess or mind to muscle connection build when I first started working out just because Arnold was a figure of it that would push it all the time. You know, after Pump the Pumping Iron movie, he'd say the pump felt like coming to him and how important it was. But after some like dude, like I can't be doing every rep for this [ __ ] long. I'm got [ __ ] homework to do. I got to get home. Let me just pick up a heavier weight and do less reps but do more intensity. >> Do you think most of muscle building is genetic? Yes. >> Even like steroids like it matters. >> Yeah. Yeah. Your your response to the steroids can be night and day. Like there's people taking legitimately 5x the amount of what I take or clvicular takes and they have subpar results. Like when I started and I was just only doing test. I was barely doing any. I was doing the same dosage I'm at now which is considered TRT. But people are thinking you're like blasting, right? Like even 300 is considered like a beginner dose. It's kind of like a baby dose and that's the highest I've ever even been touched. Then you have people that are natural and still have a better response to training stimulus than people with subpar genetics and steroids. So it's like the it's it's it's honestly pretty brutal because you know you want to think okay is it not worth it to hop on steroids for guys that are unfortunate to have good you know uh response to them but it's like well you're still worse off without them right? So, it's I mean that's a decision they have to make. I'm just I'm very blessed that that wasn't the case for me. But yeah, it's the genetics are everything for every single aspect of your life, even your IQ and everything. >> It's crazy cuz I think a lot of people assume that if you take steroids, uh like me, I think I have particularly small arms and like small biceps. >> Mhm. >> I used to assume that if I took steroids, my arms would just naturally be big and like everything would be big. But in reality, it's like no, like it's just genetics. Like they'll never grow in comparison to the other parts of your body that are >> Yeah. >> Androgenic, you know? >> Yeah. Exactly. Like they'll 100% grow past the point that would have never been being possible. But yeah, that's why you have to be really careful on gear as well, cuz if you continue training the same way you were naturally, like all of a sudden your chest is already a strong point. I know it's a strong point, but it's responding even better to the to the gear than your other your other, you know, muscles. It's like you can get out of proportion quickly. You do kind of have to like re re sit down and re rehash and plan a proper way to work out when you decide to hop on and just I mean honestly if you were to hop on I'd be like just don't hit chest and literally just spam biceps like for four times a week cuz it's all about it's all about balance and and symmetry. >> Do you think the ASU frat leader is natty? I think um I think he has a insane work ethic and uh he works really hard and he takes care of his diet and he's just uh he's very consistent with his creatine where where were you when Clvicular got mocked by the ASU frat leader? >> I was standing right next to the camera. I may have even been holding the camera. I'm not sure cuz that's right when I was uh holding it for a brief second while our cameraman Brock went to take a piss, but it might have been right after he came back and gave it to him. But honestly, I don't think any of us registered it at the at the time. It's that's what's so crazy to see it blow up to I mean that's like literally one of the most viral memes I've ever seen. It's kind of ridiculous seeing like even old boomers like saying like jester going and [ __ ] like that. It's like wow. >> Yeah. I I thought it was crazy. I think it's like the biggest thing of any of your guys's antics. >> Yeah, I think it's Yeah. Yeah. >> Huh. >> Which is ridiculous because I mean the antics they they're pretty crazy the ones that it's competed with, but somehow the [ __ ] ASU frame mog ed etched them all out. Hm. It's so funny because frame mogged like people don't even realize I sound like a [ __ ] form dweller right now, but uh people people don't even realize that like Clav's whole thing is like his clavicles. >> Exactly. That's why it's so ironic. I mean his his username is luch clavvicular which is indicating the fact that he has a good frame which he does. He does have a good frame. >> Right. But you think the average person hears the frame mog thing and they even know that? >> No, they don't even I don't even think they know that that's why his name is Dan. So it it just sounds rid I think it just sounds ridiculous. That's why it's viral. >> It's legitimately just ridiculous. It's that's why it's funny. Like the majority of these people are making it go viral don't even realize like the second step of why like it's ironic and and funny. It just they just think it sounds and it's funny to them. >> This is a weird one, but do you think the black pill going mainstream has made the black pill more real? Yeah, I think it has cuz it took something that we all know is subconscious and now everyone is consciously thinking about it which only reinforces your subconscious as well. So it's like the fact that girls are so aware of this now is honestly kind of scary, you know, like they're >> like they care about looks even more than they did before. >> Yeah. And they're aware of like the fact that we know they care about looks too now. And the fact that we're working on our looks because we know they care that much more now, which which really like [ __ ] puts the guys in a [ __ ] position because, you know, we all know girls use makeup to look better and like men don't really like see them any differently because of that. But now like the girls have like this thing in the back, not even the back of their mind, the front of their mind's like, damn, this guy I'm, you know, going out to see right now or like just met at the club is probably wearing like some concealer and a little bit of eyeliner. What the [ __ ] Like I wonder what he looks like without it. this bro's probably a insecure chud. That's like that's basically what their subconscious is going to be saying now. So, it's like you you it really does put guys in a more difficult situation now cuz it doesn't affect girls as hard. They're not judged uh the same way for wearing makeup. >> Yeah. It's it's weird because if if we were girls, right, like we would probably just wear makeup because that's the thing that girls do. >> Yeah. >> I wonder if it'll get to a point where they just like expect guys to look sex. Yeah, like you came you came to a date with me and you're not even wearing eyeliner or some like BB cream. Like what are you doing? Your your skin's all like red and Oh my god. >> Honey, have you been bone smashing? >> Yeah, for real. Why is your Why are your psychos not swollen? What are you doing? What are you doing, >> man? >> It's probably going to end up like that. Honestly, it's not even a We're like laughing and we're joking, but it's we should be crying instead. I think it's going to end up like that. >> What was Androgenic doing to look back? Last that I know, when he came to visit us in LA, he took a super long Esther of test. I think it's called test. I'm just going to say test you. That's what that's what it's called. It's short for something else. But long estester means that the halflife is very long. And since he was going to be away for a long time, he just pinned a really really high dosage of it. >> How much did he pin? >> I don't even know. But like a lot, enough to last him for like the two or 3 weeks trip. >> What would you guess that is? >> I think it was like 2 something 2 point something grams. So 2500 mg. >> Yeah. Yeah. 2500 mg, I think, in one in one go. It might it might have been higher, honestly. I'm not sure, but I knew he was doing that. And he brought diuretics. He's he's honestly looking pretty good on on that trip uh to LA, but now obviously he's he's come off [ __ ] Hey, props to him. He just got a hair transplant and um you know, his rhino done. No longer going to be a Polish father of of six as the Tik Tok comments are saying. But, you know, it takes it takes balls to show yourself while um while recovering from these surgeries. It makes you look significantly worse for a short period of time until you get ascended from them. >> Who's had the craziest ascension in the looks maxing community? >> I'm going say cookie. No, if I if I had to be for real on uh it might be I think um Nocturnal K has a pretty crazy transformation. He's he gets a lot of [ __ ] but he I think he ascended the furthest because his starting point was probably the lowest cuz like when I think of like Androgenic when he started, I actually thought he looked like pretty decent. He was just like a very lanky, skinny guy with, you know, a hooked nose. But I mean, within like a year of like working on with the tan, he already looked like a decently good-looking person. I would even argue that Andrew Jennick descended himself a little bit past his prime. And his prime was two years ago. I mean, now he's going to reach a new prime since he did surgery, but Nocturnal can I think had the lowest starting point com relative to their current point in terms of like the amount of increase that they've done. >> Interesting. Are you infertile >> at the moment? Yeah. Until I decide to, you know, do my course of HC hg at HMG, I won't be fertile, which is kind of nice cuz, well, actually, I should be wearing condoms regardless for STD sake, but I've I have a feeling so far. So good, you know. >> Do you think ugly people should have kids? >> Um, I think they should do what makes them happy. If they want to have kids, they should. But I think as an ugly person, your goal should be to, you know, artificially make yourself as good-looking as possible to find someone that's naturally good-looking so that your kid doesn't suffer the same fate as you. Like for example, when you see maybe not an ugly person, a short dude, it should be essentially his mission to try to find a taller girl that might be able to to help his his son not, you know, follow the same fate as him. I mean, it's not even messed up to do like there's a reason why certain tribes in Africa are so tall. It's like the women are choosing to to to breed with a taller men with their children in mind. So, it's I think it's it's kind to do for your kid. I I don't think they shouldn't have any kids, per se. I mean, you're better off we we need them to have uh kids. They just need to not settle. Like, don't obviously don't mix an ugly person with an ugly person. I mean, you guys obviously both didn't try to to ascend then. >> So, you think hypergamy is based? >> I think it'd be based if it was a equal it was proportional on on both ends, >> you know, but it's it's not unfortunately. Like you think guys should be hypergamous too? >> Yeah. >> Huh? >> Only very few little guys can though. I mean every woman can is is hypergamous. But like guys can really only be hypergamous if you have all three of the you know looks, money, status there. You can really just upgrade 24/7. >> How tall are you? >> Uh 510 and 3/4ers. But I'm wearing lifts right now. So >> how much does height matter when it comes to getting women? >> It matters a lot, bro. I mean, especially now, I mean, the average height is only has increased and social media has like made it like essentially like always be mentioned. Even girls that didn't originally like care that much about height now have it in the front of their mind that like, oh, tall guys are more attractive or it's a good thing to to get with a taller guy. And also subconsciously, >> has a girl ever rejected you for being 5'11? >> No. My all the girl that I'm seeing today is 5'11. My ex-girlfriend was 5'11 and the one the girl I hooked up before that was also 5'11. So I I like taller girls. I wouldn't say I'm insecure about my height. Obviously I' I'd prefer to be taller. Just I mean it's more of a The reason I prefer to be taller is cuz my dad is taller than me. So it just kind of pisses me off. It's like bro what the [ __ ] I'm I'm never going to be like looking looking down at him. The the whole goal is to like surpass your parents, right? But I it doesn't really make me insecure, honestly. Like, it's annoying because women will assume you're insecure about your height when you're not 6 foot, right? So, you could be someone that's my height or even shorter and be completely secure in your height, but they'll project that you're insecure about it onto you. They'll go like short, blah, blah, blah. It's like, [ __ ] I don't care. Like, I'll get with a 61 girl. Like, I I'll climb a tree. I don't give a [ __ ] It's like, it's fine. Like, but I do understand that being taller is more attractive and better. There is a sweet spot like 6'3 to 6'5 is the most ideal for sure. >> I guess like a big thing with the Black Hill is like there's PSL and general like how your face looks. Uh your rating and then there's also like height is a big factor in it. Uh yeah, >> but you like you're a fairly attractive guy. You're one inch under like the cut off of what women consider to be like, "Oh, he has to be six feet tall." Like, does that uh like it never holds you back really? >> Well, the thing too is like with heightian, everyone just lurps a couple like one inch more, too. Like it's it's it's [ __ ] but like on if you're 5'10 or 5'11, just put six foot on your dating profiles. genuinely. It's cuz for some reason that's just a metric that they're going to like be sussing out and looking for when in person they won't necess they won't be able to tell a difference unless they're 5'10" or taller themselves. I mean, it's been shown in studies that women are extremely bad at judging uh, you know, not just height, but decisive, you know, penises and [ __ ] like that. They have an extremely bad ability of of estimating. So, you should use that to your advantage cuz the highlation is going to [ __ ] you over if not. >> So, women can't tell that you're under six feet. I mean, I don't clean six feet in person to be honest. I changed it in my social medias just more so as an experiment because I don't really I don't meet up with girls from uh from dating sites whatsoever. It's just like a video game to check my ELO, see what rank I am cuz then you know what type of girls you can talk to in person and succeed with. >> What's the most blackpill thing you've seen in person? >> Well, really blackpilled me was shortly after I like started going on the forums and ascending and my ex-girlfriend had taken that picture of the Fat Boys. I um went clubbing and I hooked up with this girl and she asked me to like [ __ ] her in the elevator uh in the street and it was like >> in the street. >> Yeah. Like she in the streets of Milan. And I was like, "Okay, that's like too freaky. I'm not doing that." Like I'll do the elevator but not not out in the streets. And I take her home. Um, and I wake up and I found out that she has a boyfriend of four years that she was literally in like traveling with like in town with and just gone clubbing alone and then just was [ __ ] another dude [ __ ] in the elevator in public. Like not just like regular. Like that's like so like why go to that extent? Like it just seems like so like I just got [ __ ] over and then now I just [ __ ] this dude over. I felt bad, but I was like, "This could have been me." >> Is that common for you? >> The what? Cucking people? No. No. I I I don't like hitting on girls with boyfriends. >> How many times have you realized though, like after the fact? >> That That was the the only time. Oh [ __ ] No. I think it's happened like one other time. I mean, normally I can like sus it out pretty well, but like this girl, I like genuinely had no [ __ ] clue. >> What's the most toxic belief in the Looks Maxing community? probably the ethnic tax which is basically just like your ethnicity can uh completely tax like subtract from your looks like significantly like you could be a very good-looking Indian guy like an Indian Chad you you could say and they just really believe that like it's essentially equivalent to like a white a white dude that's like um htn a high tier norm like above like you know 70% or whatever it may just because they're they're they're Indian. I don't personally believe that. I think >> Can you break it down for me? Like >> the ethnic tax? >> Yeah. Yeah. What's like the belief? >> It's a Well, I mean, it's just I mean, it's based on some truth. I mean, just in terms of like what the beauty standard is for, you know, ma male and female. It's euro euroentric features. So, it's going to be fairer skin, lighter eyes, you know, straighter hair, a smaller nose, those types of features. And you're not going to observe those as frequently in uh Indian people for example. I mean Indians just get [ __ ] on everywhere in the internet regardless. But that's like the main ethnicity that gets taxed on uh on the forums. You can also get ethn ethnic taxed as a as a black person or uh as an Asian. But I personally just believe that you're either either good-looking or you're not. You know, like if you're a good-looking Asian dude, you're good-looking Asian dude. Like if the girl thinks you're good-looking, she's not like, "Oh, but you're you're an Asian good-looking dude. So now I don't think you're good-looking." It just it just it's boring. She either does think you're good-looking and she'd [ __ ] you or she wouldn't. >> Is there anything else that's brutal on there? >> Um, any other brutal beliefs? Um, the dog pill probably. >> The what? >> The dog pill. >> What's the dog pill? >> There's a significant amount of girls who are how would I break this down? I wouldn't say it's been shown in studies, but it is anecdotally frequent that women that own large dogs are like pretty likely to have like some sort of sexual intercourse with them or like get like very physically like touchy more so than with like smaller dogs or even men with their dogs. It's kind of similar. It's the same case with uh horses, male horses. That's why you should you should actually look out for women that have male horses. There's like I mean I've seen crazy videos where like they'll be thirsting over like a stallion does like a a a horse [ __ ] like a genuine horse [ __ ] and there's like women like making comments about it. It's like what the [ __ ] But it's real. It's real. >> So women with big dogs >> Yeah. >> are more likely statistically to what? >> To indulge in some sort of sexual intercourse with them. >> I mean I don't know if that's >> Do you know the stats on it? >> I want to I You should look you want to pull up a thread. Bro, >> this is the craziest [ __ ] thing I've heard all day. >> The I mean I don't I'm not sure where the statistics were pulled from, but around the year like 2004 2006 the searches the search volume for you know dog and you know realistic dough were you know around equal which is pretty concerning. I mean why do you want a a dog shaped? >> Huh? >> Yeah. on the forums in general. What's the darkest post you've ever seen someone make on the looks maxing forums? >> It wasn't a the post itself, but the fact that it was the last post by an individual that committed suicide because of another forum member and it was a notable member too. And you know, obviously there were other reasons for why that user had committed like uh bullying in real life on whatever it may be. But when you get home and you try to, you know, escape from reality and the thing you come to is a person that's respected in that forum essentially telling you it's over and that you should, you know, end it all. And that pushes you over the edge, then obviously that's like extremely dark and brutal and and this kid was obviously being bullied in uh in school was special needs, I'm pretty sure. And then he just goes back and is browsing the forum trying to get some hope of what he can do to improve himself. And someone that's respected in the community is telling him to just end it all and that it's over and that he's, you know, beyond saving and he's subhuman. And then they actually went ahead and did it and it got the forum uh investigated by the FBI, I'm pretty sure, or at least was put on the watch list. >> What did he do you remember the post he made specifically about the kid? Did he just say it's over? Like what did he say? >> I don't I mean it's it was more than one post, I'm pretty sure. cuz I mean this guy was like pretty adamant when he doesn't [ __ ] with you he'll like just brutalize you. Um but the name of the user was Sherry Sex. So rest in peace to him, you know. >> That's really sad to hear. Is that common? Have you seen that happen a few times or is that a one time thing? >> I think there's more than one case of it. Maybe not specifically in the forums, but you know there's the forums and there's the the the Discords that come from them. You know, not everyone that's on the Discords is in the forums and vice versa. So, I think there have been other cases for sure on Discord, but I wouldn't be aware of them. I don't think you can only imagine it's such a negative community and you know, some people just do this for fun, honestly. Like there's extortion groups and [ __ ] that will like just try to get people to like So, it's not that weird to think that some there's people like that in like an incelridden community like Looks Max. >> Why do you think people do that? their lives are miserable and since they can't find any way to improve it or they don't want to put the work in to to do so they think that making other people miserable or you know complete be at their lowest point humanly possible is uh brings them satisfaction in a way. I don't know it's very it's very strange. I've never understood it honestly. >> What would you say you're the most insecure about? um my my nasolibial folds right now and my uh asymmetries essentially. Nasolibial folds are like the lines that come out here as you start aging. I mean they're natural in men. You get them earlier, but it's a sign of a less developed maxilla. It's not like crazy insecurity, but like especially in like harsher lighting with flash, like it'll come out and it just like makes you look older. It's like not ideal. >> How do you fix that? >> Use Bmax for it. You know, if you advance your maxilla, it should um create a little bit more support, stretch out the flesh so the fat's not drooping down. Tech technically, you I could try to get rid of it without surgery by using like aqualix to dissolve the the fat that's accumulating. Cuz the reason this happens is there's a bane here where the fat will like hold up and then it accumulates here. You could technically try to get rid of the fat, but I mean when it's a structural issue, it'll everything will just keep coming down as gravity takes its takes care of it. So the best solution is to provide structure underneath it, which is through, you know, osteotoies. >> What's a conspiracy theory you 100% know is true? >> I think Aartha and Atlantis are both real. I mean, what really like sus me out is uh when Mr. Beast was uh talking about it and like XC with it was like him, XC and Aiden Ross and they were talking about uh Antarctica and XG was kind of like [ __ ] with Mr. Beast by saying like oh yeah cuz he doesn't we didn't even let get get allowed to like fly over the stone wall because that's where they keep this this and that and like bro his reaction was like just so [ __ ] sus. >> What's one thing that you wish there was a drug for? just like flat out like genuine like a a switch for inhibition that wasn't like through all these [ __ ] mechanisms. Like obviously there's certain mechanisms you have to hit that do lower your inhibition but like if there was a way to just say I take this inhibition off everything else is unaffected like I'm not going to be you know more sloppy or you know be drowsing and stumbling over myself because a lot of these drugs that lower your inhibition do so by essentially making you like lower stress but also more [ __ ] If there was a drug that just lowered it, you know, make you more willing to take risk without anything else being changed because I mean you could argue that certain steroids make you lower inhib, right? Because you're more willing to take risk, you're more driven, but they often come with other like changes in mentality for other things that may not be what you want. Like if you could just keep everything else in your mind levelheaded but just low inhib that would I think change a lot of people's lives because I feel like a lot of people where they really [ __ ] up is they don't take the first step. They don't take action. They'll spend their whole lives just planning thing and having this dream that they wanted to fulfill but then they don't take the first step because they're too scared of the what if or like well but what if what if I'm judged for this or this is going to fail. Instead of just being able to trade it off it's like okay I'll just do it. Whatever happens happens. >> What's your favorite Blackpool song? >> Oh, actually, yeah. Nuts by Lil Peep. >> Nuts. >> Yeah, I think that's what it's called. This one. >> I for sure know this one. >> That's the song that Cookie King blew up too, right? >> Yeah, I think so. >> Do you think Cookie Mogs? >> Yeah, dude. He mocks hard right now. He He He's looking great. I'm proud of him. That's a [ __ ] ton of weight. It's actually like crazy to look back like at the videos from when we first met. I'm like, what the [ __ ] Like, >> cuz I've gotten Yeah. I've gotten used to seeing him skinny now. So, it's like, dude, I can't imagine him like physically being in my like near me fat. >> Yorts, what's the worst piece of advice you've ever received? >> To give up and that it was over for me and to basically just like do do nothing, to just give give up and be sad. I was they they were quite literally telling me to just embrace my my fate and that I was I was done for. And um you know I genuinely did listen for uh a little bit. I mean they got so in my head with all the persistence and threats. I mean it I wouldn't even call it advice. Essentially forced it into into my mind that it was over because of how adamant they were about it and the the pressure they were putting on it. And I believed it. So, I withdrew from my entire semester of school, stopped talking to all my friends, stopped working out. Uh, just literally just lay in bed all day and do nothing. I'd lay down and rot quite literally. And I probably did that for like two weeks and a half until like something just like came at me and snapped. I was like, why the [ __ ] am I letting these uh people dictate my life? Why? Like, is it over? It's like, give up. Like I can literally just get up right now. I can get up and today's a new day and do something ultim million times more productive than anything they can do which is to just try to do the most try to do everything I can every day like just I just try to go as hard as possible and if you can tell yourself that you went the hardest you could have every day then you will get to a happy state of your life you know whereas like if I had listened to them like I probably would have not not been here I'm not going to lie but like that [ __ ] is very depressing ing. I thought I couldn't go to school. I was a disappointment to my parents cuz I have no degree and I was just a [ __ ] looks maxing [ __ ] loser that doesn't even looks max anymore cuz I gave up on it. >> Why don't you like when people say it's over in looks maxing? >> Because it's just not true, you know? Like why is it over? Because you say so? Who the [ __ ] are you? There's so many things that can happen at any given time. You know, your life could change at a moment's notice. You just have to be in the right place at the right time. Like obviously there's luck involved in everything in life, but that luck is only going to get used if you're prepared for it and you're, you know, putting yourself in that place where you can get lucky. So just never give up. >> It's not over. >> It's not over. >> What's the best piece of advice you've ever received? >> I think the saying goes, fall down six times, stand up seven times. or it go it's something along those lines. And it just completely goes with how my dad raised me, which is just that no matter what, like you can always stand up. Every failure in your life, you just need to get up one more time and try again. And that could be the last time you fall, you know, and even if it isn't, you just stand up again. You keep going, you know? It's only you're only done if you stay on the ground. Like if you're capable of standing up, you know, not physically, but just even your spirit, if you don't let anything like keep you down, you will always like come to a you you always achieve your goals. You know, you have to I mean, it's the energy that you put into everything you do completely dictates the result. Like if you're a sour and a a sad person just going through the motions, like of course you're never going to get anything extraordinary. But if you're just giving it your absolute best, putting every piece of your like will and heart into everything that you do that you care about, you're you're bound to [ __ ] you're bound to do something extraordinary. >> Well, everyone, this has been your guest, Drago. Where can people find you? >> kick.comrago and then dragaxer on every single social media. Thank you so much for having me, Jack. >> Yeah, appreciate it, man. Thanks for coming on. Thank you.
