Charlie Warzel

So, you know, unreliable narrator, perhaps.

But he has said on various podcasts, et cetera, that he has smashed his face with a hammer.

The theory there is that when your bones break, they grow back stronger.

I'm saying that's his theory, not my theory.

I'm certainly not endorsing this.

And so he has smashed his face, his jawline, in order to strengthen it, to make it look better.

He started, according to him, taking testosterone when he was around 14 or 15 years old.

Which is also not recommended by medical professionals.

And that is in order to, you know, speed up his puberty and get his body looking like an adult man's.

He's said he's taken methamphetamines in order to hollow out his cheeks.

And all sorts of things.

This thing, again, chewing on a rubber ball.

It's called mewing is the phrase.

And it helps structure your jaw, sort of like curling your biceps or something like that.

So there's all kinds of things that he has done, supposedly, that are extremely extreme.

The white nationalist streamer Nick Fuentes made fun of me recently for using this language as a loser millennial guy reporter.

Because I'm just like... And it's true.

And I think that's actually part of it.

Like...

Every generation has their own language.
