Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, I've been reading about a new maxing. You know
how guys are into looks maxing, health and wellness maxing,
and that includes fiber maxing and protein maxing.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (00:12):
Are you into all that? No.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I would take the Metamucil.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
You're into poo maxing.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
I'm into the mousse because it's good for you.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Okay. But you've taken that long before the maxing fad.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was on the mousse before anyone else.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Well, this is all about hyperfixating on specific nutrient intake.
So you're stacking multiple supplements without medical advice. And some
people are tracking their blood sugar via those continuous glucose
monitors that are for people who have diabetes.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
My mum's got one.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah, that's right, because your mum has diabetes.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, I kind of like checking her telemetry. I go,
let's have a look at your blood sugar. And then
I say, what have you been eating?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Do you?

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Oh, terrible.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
What have you been eating?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
What a bully. There's also lifestyle maxing. This is things
like money maxing, extreme budgeting and hustling and side projects
and things.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
Side hustle. Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
Study maxing. Yeah. Friction maxing, forcing yourself to do hard,
uncomfortable things to build resilience.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Like what?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
I don't know. There's voice maxing, protein maxing, fiber maxing.
We've spoken about those.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Brain maxing, trying to boost cognitive performance. You should try it, Brendan. Yes. Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Yes. Yes.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
But what about this? This is the one I read
about on the weekend, which is pheromone maxing.

Speaker 2 (01:29):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Young men apparently are now skipping showers before going on
dates with women. Pheromone maxing is what it's called, and
it's a new trend in the manosphere. This is the
article I've seen. So young men are skipping showering, skipping deodorant.
They're wearing unwashed shirts, and then they're even drinking their
own urine. This is because alcohol is so expensive right.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Now out there.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
So this is because they want to sweat out the toxins.
According to a new report from Vice magazine, pheromone maxing
is becoming an increasing trend for young men. The goal
is that by drinking your own urine, you will release toxins.
And by not showering and not wearing deodorant, et cetera,
wearing dirty clothes, you will likely have more pheromones and

(02:15):
therefore be more attractive. They have said, funnily enough, no
evidence exists that this works. Because what I know about
young women is, They love a stinky, urine-breathed man. And
if you think that this is crazy and could not
be true, what about, you remember Clavicula? We've spoken about
him with his.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Clavicula?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, that's his name. His look-smaxing. This is the guy
who would smash his face with a hammer for his
bone smashing. Yeah. Because the bone smashing with a hammer
or a blunt object gives people the false belief that
healing micro fractures will give them a sharper jawline and cheekbones.

(02:55):
So that's the part of the looks maxing. So if
you think drinking your own urine and not showering is
a really weird subset, yes, it is. But what about that?

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Maybe do some brain maxing before you take on these
other things.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Maybe some read maxing, reading some science maxing and see
how you go.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
Maybe some lecture maxing.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
That's what every young man needs, someone to lecture them.
