Pro Tip: Don’t Smash Yourself in the Face With a Hammer

The Raven Effect··6 October 2026·1h 3m

About this episode

This week, we learn that apparently we now live in a world where “don’t smash yourself in the face with a hammer” qualifies as legitimate life advice;  Raven, Rich and Rob dive into the bizarre world of "Looksmaxxing," where perfectly normal ideas like exercising, sleeping well and basic grooming somehow lead to people intentionally hitting themselves in the face in an attempt to become more attractive; Rich attempts to prove he's smarter than everyone by explaining how he “saved money” seeing Iron Maiden; This week's news items include a story of a woman waking up with a bat trying to get into her mouth, Gen Z avoids bathing by calling it “Pheromone Maxxing,” and the Oxford English Dictionary provides Raven with some brand-new insults; Robert's Meta glasses raise serious questions; The origins of the English language, and of course, all the usual perversions.
