‘Looksmaxxing’ king Clavicular built a brand on breaking bones. Now he’s charged with breaking a lot more.



Millions know him as Clavicular, the controversial influencer who helped popularize "looksmaxxing" — an online subculture obsessed with maximizing physical attractiveness by any means necessary.

But as BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau explain, the story surrounding the internet celebrity has become far more disturbing than viral videos about jawlines and self-improvement.

“We’re in this weird society where people can be massively famous, and you’ve never heard of them,” Stu says. “That’s kind of where I am with Clavicular until I did some deep research today preparing for this show.”

“He is a ‘looksmaxxing’ influencer,” he adds.


“This is a man who chiseled his face with a hammer,” Dave comments, explaining that it’s called “bone smashing.”

“The point of this is basically hitting yourself literally in the face with a hammer. Breaking the bones slightly, causing fractures, and then the bone was supposed to grow back to make you look more handsome,” Stu says.

“By the way, you should know this, this does not at all seem to be accurate about how the human body works,” he adds.

“It’s causing a lot of issues for a lot of people,” Dave agrees.

Clavicular has also been charged with allegedly raping a teenage girl, who claims that he lured her to his family’s $3 million Cape Cod mansion before exploiting her months later.

“He films everything that he does,” Dave comments. “Did he happen to turn off his backpack camera when this happened?”

“Well, apparently not,” Stu says, “when he was giving an underage girl alcohol and apparently injecting her face with some sort of serum.”

But those aren’t the only legal troubles Clavicular has faced. In February 2026, he was reportedly booted from a “fashion bash” and “attacked on a night out in New York,” before being arrested in March 2026 on a battery warrant.

The influencer was also charged with a misdemeanor after a viral video revealed an alligator being shot “repeatedly.”

“I know PETA won’t agree with me,” Dave says, “but they’re nasty lizard creatures, and I think they’re what’s remaining of the dinosaurs, and we don’t need them.”

'You kill disabled people': Lesbian bar faces revolt over mask-optional event in 2026



Most businesses in 2026 have long moved on from the mask mandates of the COVID era — but one Massachusetts bar has built its business around those mandates.

And now it’s paying the price.

Last Ditch, a lesbian bar in Greenfield for “immunocompromised” lesbians, announced that it would begin allowing mask-optional Saturday nights in an effort to host larger events, DJs, and themed club nights while maintaining other masked gatherings throughout the month.

Owner Jackie Matellian posted news of the change under a banner declaring “UPDATES!”

“It is with love we inform our immunocompromised disabled divas we will be opening Saturday nights as mask optional to try out typical club nights with themes/hosts/DJs/full capacity,” she wrote on the Last Ditch instagram.


“Accessibiliy is a pillar of our mission,” she continued. “AND our mission is also to make the space work for everyone and everything radical, sometimes that’s being wild!”

“We strive for solidarity, transparency of risks, and connecting us all in this revolution. We still give priority to public and private Masked bookings, and continue a recurring monthly Masked Social prioritizing safety. It is only after an outpour of feedback from our regulars, volunteers, and team that we make this addition,” she added.

“They had a mandatory face mask rule in the year 2026. Remember, this place didn’t even open until 2025," BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says on “Stu and Dave Do America.”

"Right, so there’d be no reason to have this,” agrees co-host Dave Landau.

“All these restrictions have been lifted even by the craziest governments by now,” Stu adds.

“What is their logic for this?” Dave asks.

“I think it’s insanity,” Stu answers, before reading some of the comments on the Instagram post.

“Just say you’re being complicit in a mass disabling event and get it over with,” one comment reads.

“People like you kill disabled people in the name of your own leisure and convenience,” another one says.

Stu is shocked, saying, “Imagine living like this.”

​Trump called a 'communist dictator' after taking his war on the media to EXTREME new heights



President Donald Trump has made the decision to ban CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House access, and he predictably upset the left in the process.

BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere points out that Trump is understandably “sick” of their biased coverage, which has included a lot of Nazi references over the years.

“He had a long statement about how, well, they shouldn’t be able to make up fake news. I don’t want them here anymore,” he adds.

“Well, they do kick you out of the pool after you repeatedly pee in it,” co-host Dave Landau says.


“Of course you don’t want those people around,” Stu agrees. “The question is, of course, does the president have a different standard here that he should be hitting when it comes to the annoyance factor.”

“You’re the president of the United States,” he says, asking, “How much of this stuff do you have to put up with? How much of it is just part of the gig? And how much do you have to deal with?”

Ana Navarro is among those frustrated by Trump’s decision, explaining to the panel on "The View" that the president is behaving like a communist dictator.

“I fled communism. And this is what communist dictators exactly do in places like North Korea and Cuba and Nicaragua and Venezuela. They censor and shut down the free press because their little, thin skin cannot take any criticism,” Navarro said.

“She says a communist dictator would do this, right?” Dave asks. “A communist dictator would have them lined up and shot against a wall, which is legitimately what would happen. She’s getting paid six figures to sit on TV and call him a dictator.”

But Navarro isn’t the only one concerned about censorship, as JD Vance was pressed by a reporter how the move was not an attack on free speech.

“Well, they can still report on the Trump White House. They can still get the public reports. They can still, of course, talk to people in the administration and outside the administration. What the president has said is we’re not going to give you special access inside the White House,” Vance said.

Vance went on to point out that under Biden and Obama, Breitbart wasn’t given special access to the White House either.

“The Biden administration revoked press passes in 2023 because questions were disruptive,” Dave explains.

“I hate those disruptive questions,” Stu adds.

Mitch McConnell blames childhood polio diagnosis: 'He does not look good, man'



Longtime Kentucky Republican Senator Mitch McConnell has returned to the U.S. Senate after nearly three months away following a June fall and a lengthy recovery that was accompanied by almost complete silence.

While the 84-year-old admits he’s “not quite back to 100%,” it would appear the reality is much worse than simply being shy of operating at full capacity.

“Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” McConnell wrote in a post on X.


“My recovery has been a long and often frustrating process, and the lingering effects of childhood polio haven’t made it any easier. I’m still not quite back to 100%, but I’ve assured Leader Thune that, as I continue with physical therapy on the advice of my doctors, I will do my best to be present for tough votes when our Conference needs me,” he added.

“The fact that we have a guy who's basically leadership in the Senate — he’s still very powerful there — talking about how he had polio as a kid, I mean,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere says, “it’s incredible.”

“He still has that residual cough from bubonic plague; it’s really something,” co-host Dave Landau jokes.

In a video from his return to the Senate, McConnell is shown staring blankly ahead at the back of a seat in a van. When reporters ask how he’s feeling, he continues to stare straight ahead, mouth slightly agape, without answering.

“He does not look good, man. This sucks,” Stu says.

“He looks like he’s about to play the piano with the band at Chuck E. Cheese,” Dave agrees. “There’s not a good way for this to end. Nothing says I’m going to do a competent vote like I took a bad fall in June and you haven’t seen me in three months.”

While the situation is notably strange, Stu points out that “mocking old people is not what [he’s] trying to do here.”

“This sucks, it sucks to get old, it sucks to go through this. The guy fell down. He’s out of commission for months and months and months and months. Quite clearly is out of it,” he says.

“But this is not a new story, Dave,” he continues. “The guy froze in front of cameras multiple times years ago. And at that point, even when he was in Senate leadership … I said at the time he should step down, and I think most sane people did.”

‘Racist’ new Sacha Baron Cohen film sparks a boycott before it even hits theaters



Sacha Baron Cohen is bringing Ali G back to the big screen, but the character is already stirring controversy.

Tens of thousands of emails were sent urging theaters not to screen "Ali G: Who Iz I?" over accusations that the character is rooted in offensive racial stereotypes — something that’s never stopped theaters from promoting his films before.

And for this reason, BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau aren’t sure the negative hype is entirely organic.

Dave recalls his old films where he would interview important figures like Dick Cheney who “wouldn’t know who he was.”


“It was always a fascinating interview because he would just bomb the interview, and it was always pretty funny to watch,” he says, noting that his film "Borat" made him laugh “the hardest” he ever has in theaters at “how unbelievably funny and inappropriate it was.”

“I am not a fan at all ... of this, ‘Well, our standards have changed, and now he can’t do this character anymore.’ It's more of just like, 'I don’t know, I’m kind of done with that character from 20 years ago,'” Stu chimes in.

“Well, everybody knows who he is,” Dave agrees. “So it’s either they’re in on the joke, or they’re being paid to be on it. I mean, half the trailer is just people breaking because they know who he is.”

“It’s played out,” he continues. “We know the joke and so do the people that he’s playing the joke on. I certainly don’t think it’s racist. If it’s racist against anybody, it’s probably Jews, and he’s Jewish.”

“I mean, the most offensive stuff in Borat was against Jewish people,” he adds.

Dave also notes sarcastically that “sending emails because a movie shouldn’t be shown and getting 37,000 of them” doesn’t “at all build hype and give incentive for places to show a film.”

“I’m kind of skeptical, honestly,” Stu says. “It feels to me like a promotional stunt, like, ‘Oh gosh, everyone’s calling him racist, this is a big controversy.'”

Influencer dies after 'penis enlargement' procedure goes awry



What was supposed to be a luxury getaway with his wife turned fatal for British-Nigerian influencer Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo.

The businessman and social media personality died after undergoing a penis enlargement procedure at a clinic in Thailand, where a cosmetic injection allegedly led to a pulmonary embolism.

The bizarre and tragic case has caught the attention of BlazeTV hosts Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau — who are stunned not only by the deadly outcome but by the growing popularity of procedures like “penis enlargement.”

“He was a British-Nigerian businessman who documented his luxury lifestyle online, which is a really unique approach to social media,” Stu says.


“I didn’t even know that was a real surgery. I thought that was more of a joke,” he continues, noting that the choice of location for the surgery was a little strange.

“If you’re thinking through, like, where am I going to go to get a penis enlargement surgery? Would you go to Thailand for that?” he asks Dave.

“No, I wouldn’t go to Thailand. … I would never ever go anywhere except a first-world country if I wanted to get a surgery done,” Dave answers.

Stu points out that while the case is “ridiculous to talk about” because of the term “penis enlargement,” that what happened was “actually really bad.”

“A sudden blockage of blood vessels in the lungs, a pulmonary embolism,” he says.

“They say, by the way, it could result in loss of sensation, erectile dysfunction, infection, inflammation, and having a bend or kink in the new penis shape due to scarring,” he explains.

“There’s nothing good that can come of this,” Dave adds.

TikTok feminism: The left’s war on motherhood has reached a disturbing new low



Why would anyone cheer for a woman accused of killing her own children?

That’s the question on BlazeTV hosts Sara Gonzales' and Dave Landau’s minds as women across the country raise money for, post supportive TikToks of, and send letters to alleged child murderer Lindsay Clancy.

“Who cheers for an [alleged] child killer?” Dave asks.

“Like her lawyer said that she has gotten enough letters to support three bankers' boxes,” he continues. “So it’s basically like 'Miracle on 34th Street,' letters to a woman who [allegedly] murdered her children.”

“This is fan mail,” Gonzales agrees. “This is not like a sternly worded letter to the manager telling her how terrible of a person she is.”


And Dave wants to know why.

“Some [women] are like, ‘Well, it’s hormonal, you don’t understand how hard it is.’ And you know, you’re a woman, what is this supposed to mean?” Dave asks.

“What it means is that we now have a culture that hates motherhood,” Gonzales answers. “These women, they have been struck by the feminist bug, and they just hate motherhood because there really is no defense to this.”

And it’s not just the letters to Clancy that bother Dave and Gonzales.

“We are living in this sort of TikTok generation of people getting their advice on how to be mentally sound through a dopamine hit-app run by China,” Dave says.

“Seems like a bad idea,” Gonzales says. “Seems like a really bad idea ... I just think that TikTok has made especially white liberal women, I just think it’s made them just worse people. It’s brain rot."

“They get one there. They, you know, like think that it’s cool now to hate motherhood. So now you’ve got all of these TikTokers that are going on and throwing ice in bathtubs to control their rage that they have at their children so that they won’t get in a screaming match with their toddlers. I kid you not,” Gonzales says, referencing a recent trend of women who have been filming themselves trying not to freak out at their kids by throwing ice cubes.

“And I’m just like, what is happening to us?” she asks.

“The only reason why you would get into a screaming match with your toddler is because you were at the same mental level with your toddler,” Dave says.

But this issue doesn’t begin with the Lindsay Clancy case or even postpartum.

“When you say that it’s OK to kill innocent babies in the womb, and then you say it’s OK to kill innocent babies in the womb up until the point of birth,” Gonzales says, “can you really be surprised that you find yourself in a place in society where now women are like, ‘OK, but not just up to birth. What about the first couple years?’”

Tom Cruise goes bald, fat, and Southern. Blaze comics approve.



Tom Cruise, made famous by his action-hero roles in the “Mission: Impossible” and “Top Gun” films, is almost unrecognizable in the upcoming movie “Digger” — a dark satirical comedy set to hit theaters October 2. The 64-year-old star plays Digger Rockwell, a fat, balding Southern oil billionaire with a comb-over and thick accent whose company triggers a global ecological disaster that could start a nuclear war.

On this episode of “Stu and Dave Do America,” BlazeTV host and comedian extraordinaire Dave Landau is joined by Angela Boggs to recap Tom Cruise’s wild new role, tease “Days of Thunder 2,” and run a Cruise-obsessed funeral-home skit.

“They age [Cruise] so much to look old, but he's really just one year older,” says Dave, highlighting how Cruise looks more his age as Digger Rockwell than he does off-screen.

The difference is so stark, he can’t help but joke, “Tom Cruise did not even use prosthetics; he just stopped drinking baby blood for a few weeks.”

Jokes aside, Dave is interested in seeing the movie.

“The thing I will admit about Tom Cruise is I'm usually entertained by his movies,” he confesses.

He then plays a Cruise-inspired skit, in which he and Angela play Mr. and Mrs. Rollins — a couple who visit “Glamorous Funeral Home” directed by former flair bartender and die-hard Cruise fan Jack Glamorous, who puts “the fun back in the funeral.”

From one Cruise spectacle to another, the pair also preview “Days of Thunder 2,” which Dave says people have been begging for “since 1990.” Cruise will return as NASCAR driver Cole Trickle alongside Anne Hathaway, who co-stars as a team owner and engineer.

Even though it’s not set to release until summer 2028, Angela is already chomping at the bit to see it.

“I think that this has the potential to really just like heal the world,” she says.

'Matrix' co-creator writes thriller with all-trans cast, but one problem keeps getting in 'her' way



Hollywood has spent years peppering films and shows with transgender cast members, but Lilly Wachowski — who identifies as transgender — isn’t reaping the benefits.

"The Matrix" co-creator, formerly known as Andy Wachowski, is now struggling to find financing for "The Hunted," a $10 million dystopian political thriller featuring an entirely transgender cast.

“Well, if you’re excited for a brand-new all-trans movie, I’ve got terrible news for you,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere jokes.

“Of course, these are the Wachowski brothers who made 'The Matrix' movies and now they’re called, in the article, the Wachowski sisters,” he explains.


“It is ironic that the guys who made 'The Matrix' got their lives destroyed because of the computer. It’s really an interesting thing,” co-host Dave Landau says. “Also, the trans thing is the reason why they can’t get financing, I think.”

“So the fact that they want to do the entire cast of that is a bit strange to me,” he adds.

Dave, who’s a twin himself, points out that it’s also strange that they both became women “at the same time.”

“It feels a little forced. I’m not going to lie. A little forced,” he says.

While the all-trans cast element of the film might rub conservatives the wrong way, Stu doesn’t believe that’s why Wachowski can’t get funding.

“I don’t know what their funding levels are looking like. If they’re looking to make a $200 million 'Matrix'-style extravaganza, probably not going to get that funded,” Stu says.

“I think the real reason why they can’t get funding for the Wachowski brothers from 'The Matrix' franchise is because of at least the third and fourth 'Matrix.' Like both of them were absolutely horrible,” he continues.

“First one’s a masterpiece. I don’t know what happened,” he adds.

Nancy Mace reveals new tattoos were a ‘pain I need to feel’ — Stu Burguiere calls it a 'warning sign'



Republican Nancy Mace shocked the internet this week when she decided to debut her heavily tattooed arms for the first time — after keeping them under wraps for months.

Mace revealed that she got the tattoos in order to experience “the pain that I need to feel.”

“When you say something like ‘I need to feel pain’ or ‘I deserve to feel pain,’ there are just warning-sign alarms going off all over the place for me,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere comments, disturbed.

“Yes, that’s something I expect to hear from a cashier at Hot Topic, not a congresswoman,” co-host Dave Landau agrees.


“Also, ‘pain I need to feel’ sounds like a Nine Inch Nails song or like a Clive Barker movie. It doesn’t sound like a reason you get tattoos. I have tattoos. They’re hidden. I mean, I suppose are emotional pain, due to who I got them for, which is also why they’re hidden,” he says.

Dave notes that it reminds him of an acquaintance he has who got an “end racism” tattoo on his lower back.

“He came over on his motorcycle, and this was maybe 2000. And he showed me, and half my friends there were black, half were white. And he showed us his ‘end racism’ tattoo. And if you ever want to see black people laugh harder … show them your almost-a-tramp-stamp ‘end racism’ lower back tattoo,” he says.

“That must have gone over really well,” Stu says.

“Oh yeah, he ended up getting it removed,” Dave adds.
