The Adonyx Podcast with Connor Murphy and Brandon Carter: Recent Episodes
Connor Murphy, Brandon Carter
Brandon starts off with his own testimonial for working with the great Matt Gallant of BiOptimizers, where working with Matt made him more money than he’s ever had at a time when he needed it the most. Then, we get into Matt’s tactical skills on mastering the domains in your life and getting good and being good using sleep and nutrition hacks. Matt shares information about their new product, Magnesium Breakthrough, and we share how this one-of-a-kind magnesium can transform your life.
Key Takeaways:
- Matt started BiOptimizers to help people optimize their aesthetic and physique both physically and mentally, but the company has grown and branched out to so much more. Their focus is now also on digestion, and just how important our gut health is to the rest of our body and every function of our health.
- When we equip ourselves with the right amount of Magnesium, it can help us repair burn out, reduce insulin, help with our mood and sleep, and reduce inflammation.
- The Magnesium Breakthrough product that BiOptimizers has created is a blend of the seven forms of magnesium that make it extremely effective.
- Most people’s diet has too much calcium and not enough magnesium. We can get a healthy amount of calcium from sources like goat cheese, but we don’t necessarily need to overload our calcium with a supplement.
- It’s a good idea to get a genetic test and blood test done to see where you are deficient in minerals and vitamins, and where you can stand to supplement with more trace minerals.
- Blackout curtains, a good mattress, a weighted blanket, the chiliPAD, and Magnesium Breakthrough are a few of the top things that can dramatically improve the quality of your sleep.
- A great sleep protocol would be three caps of Magnesium Breakthrough, L-Theanine, and CalmAid.
- Always ask what the “M” is for on your chocolates. Ask Matt what happens when you don’t.
- Learn with a purpose that can give you skills right now. Find the ways you learn and retain information — some learn by audio, others are visual or analytical.
- Calculate calories weekly, not daily.

Quotes:
- “There are an infinite amount of places to go when you meditate.”
- “Are you smarter with Gamma? I think so.”
- “Fitness is one of the most competitive and sophisticated markets on the planet.”
- “If you want to make mad money, it’s all about skill stacking.”
- “Have you been like f*ck it with your diet? Cause I have. The world is falling apart.” — B
Dr. John Jaquish is an inventor, author, and scientist whose discoveries on strength and bone density will possibly change the way you think about exercise forever. He talks about creating the X3 Bar and how it can make us grow muscle 3X faster than we would while using weights. Connor talks about his use of the X3 Bar and what he has been loving about it, Dr. Jaquish gives us some tips on fasting, and he even flexes on us while describing the X3 bar set up in his Lambo.
Key Takeaways:
- We are actually seven times stronger than we think we are.
- Dr. Jaquish saw how the X3 bar not only helped people grow bone density but gave them an efficient and targeted workout with less chance of injury.
- While we can over-load our joints and under-load our muscles while lifting weights, the X3 bar changes the weight as we move. This means more aggressive growth and better results from the muscle being taken to fatigue at a greater level.
- There are a ton of scientific studies done on the X3 Bar, along with Dr. Jaquish now working with the Miami Heat, NFL players, bodybuilders, professional swimmers, and many more.
- With X3 Bar you can do a workout anywhere, and if you are a baller like Dr. Jaquish, you can even set it up in your Lambo.
- Dr. Jaquish gained 60 lbs of muscle and dropped 16 lbs of fat with the X3 Bar.
- Two of the most important factors of health and diet include having high levels of strength and low levels of body fat.
- Fasting is a regular part of Dr. Jaquish’s life, and it is not uncommon for him to do a 5 day fast with only 16 calories a day.
- If you’ve lost a lot of weight and still have that baggy and loose skin, fasting could help your body metabolize it.

Dating expert Jonathan of Modern Life Dating and fitness expert Myron Gains joined forces to become the ultimate team of experts in getting girls and building a life you feel confident about. They join the show to talk with Connor about the three most important things you have to know when it comes to women, and why your reputation and money literally depends on them. They share how you can get special access to their course to help you get an online dating profile that actually works, and how to get girls even during this pandemic.
Key Takeaways:
- After going on over 500 dates with women, Jonathan of Modern Life Dating boiled down the three most important things to succeed not only with girls, but life in general: Wealth, Aesthetic, and Game. His motto is: “Make Money, Make Muscle, and Learn Game.”
- You must always be sourcing for women. Keep your options open everywhere you go, not just a nightclub or dating site. Even Uber drivers can make great hookups.
- It’s important to read female body language and understand if they are open to you being around or if they are sending off the vibe of being disinterested and closed off.
- If you aren’t a ‘10’ in the looks department, it’s okay. Spend some time getting your physique better and take care of yourself, but confidence and social IQ are even more important.
- Don’t be a simp and give away all your power just because you are hanging out with a woman.
- In this current climate of double standards, ladies don’t be surprised if men start putting in surveillance cameras in their homes (or in Connor’s case, their heads).
- The cardinal mistake that Jonathan and Myron see is men giving away their attention to girls for free. They get friend-zoned, and then some other confident dude swoops in.
- You can build work on yourself in your 20s so you have a better life in your 30s. Now is a great time to get an essential job, save up, and funnel your money into real estate to build your kingdom.

Andrew Tate returns as our first repeat guest and one of the wildest episodes ever. He gives his take on the Coronavirus, what women are really like in different countries, why America isn’t really that great, and how to get and keep multiple women around. Andrew also shares some wisdom on how to make money, and we go around the room to give our three basic rules of life.
Key Takeaways:
- We all have different takes on what’s going on exactly with the Coronavirus, whether it’s the reptile people, a strike against Trump, or just an annoying virus that leaves hot girls stranded in Dubai. Whatever it is, the next thing that comes around that shuts us in our homes better be a zombie apocalypse.
- The way Andrew describes it, Sweden sounds like the promised land right now. It’s open, you can leave your house, there are hot girls, with actually good medical care.
- Andrew loves living in Romania and Eastern Europe in general for the hot women, true freedom, and actually fun parties.
- Even though Connor and Brandon kill him with Instagram numbers, Andrew’s got the best and most interesting, intriguing, and all-around lit account.
- Sorry ladies, when you are a G like us, sex just isn’t enough.
- The dynamic changes when there are multiple women. They become crazy with each other instead of just you.
- Another benefit to having your women in check and dating multiple girls at once — you aren’t having to deny or lie about what you really want. You also don’t have to waste your time with a bunch of girl things and can focus more on making more money and gaining ever more success.
- One of Andrew’s iron rules of business: Never trust people that can’t get pussy. They will sell you out in the end.
- If you aren’t around other men all the time, you will lose your competitive edge.
- Yes, Andrew has had women leave that he wanted to say, but they will never know about it.
- When your girl starts tripping and wants to argue, no response is the best response.
- Want to make more money — stop wasting time talking about and doing things that aren’t making you money.
- Hey, able-bodied men in America — stop being poor. There’s literally no excuse.
-
Andrew’s three basic rules for life:
-
Don’t die.
- Look in the mirror and tell yourself you are the baddest motherf*cker alive.
- Bros before hos.

Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion, by Robert B. Cialdini
Mack Major is an expert at building wealth through real estate and non-traditional lending. We love him because he’s just a cool dude who has a lot to share on how you can not only survive but thrive financially through this recession and bulletproof yourself and your business for the future. Mack shares actual action steps on how to get money in your pocket and build wealth even faster in bad times. He also shares some love advice with us about finding love that doesn’t waste your time and actually makes you better in all areas of life.
Key Takeaways:
- Mack has over 20 years of experience in building wealth from real estate and development.
- It’s all about preparation and there is no better time than the present to learn how to recession-proof your business and to gain knowledge about wealth.
- Start working towards saving money and having both liquid money and built-up credit.
- Find people that know what they are doing and are successful. Let them be your mentor and actually take their advice.
- Whether you are running a small business or someone now on unemployment, make sure you get knowledgeable on the loans and resources available to you. Side note: You better believe that Brandon will find a way to use his resources to make even more money.
- While you can get some assistance, remember that nothing in this world is free. Whether you have to start driving for UberEats or pick up a job at a call center, do what you have to do at this time.
- Be sure who you are dating is helping you, not wasting your time or money.
- Brandon has a theory that maybe all girls spent a little too much time watching Disney movies and dreaming of their Prince Charming. Now, they expect their man to do it all for them.
- Women are liars and cheaters too, they are just better at it.

We aren’t doctors, and this is not legal advice, but we have some ideas on how to get yourself even healthier during this crazy Corona time. We tell a couple of our favorite jokes to lighten the mood, share stories of people we know that got ‘canceled,’ and talk about how we stay sane and positive mentally using meditation.
Key Takeaways:
- Brandon is staying indoors and spending a lot of time in his new sauna that he put together.
- Connor knows someone that did have it, and now there is a 90% chance that he already had it. He probably didn’t feel any symptoms because he has a full health bar.
- We wish people were stressing the importance of immune health the way they were promoting other things that could actually hurt.
- Both the guys are doing well with their mental health. Brandon attributes his to only having his mom as the only female around. Connor practices meditation and has been meditating so much during this quarantine that he is almost at monk status.
- Neither Brandon or Connor feel bored during this time because they know how to focus their attention and make the most out of their time.
- If you have a self-sustaining business model, getting ‘canceled’ can actually help you. Just look at Logan Paul and Charlie Sheen.
- Make sure you aren’t vaping and smoking weird black-market stuff.
- Brandon swore off women, and now they are appearing at his door.
- Women talk about whether or not a guy was good in bed, but maybe they should think a little about their performance!
- Don’t get addicted to sex with women thinking you have to give your soul. Maybe a reason to not be monogamous (trapped) in the first place.

Stress Less, Accomplish More: Meditation for Extraordinary Performance, by Emily Fletcher
Logan Paul
The world may see it as a pandemic that stops everything in its tracks, but we see it as an opportunity to get even better. We talk about the benefits that we see personally coming out of this time, our real thoughts on TikTok, famous Eskimo Brothers, ways we are boosting our immune system and biohacking even more, and what it’s like being a single dude in the times of Corona.
Key Takeaways:
- Connor set up his indoor gym and is sure to get some good gains, but he’s not saying the company’s name until he works out a deal with them.
- Be sure you are taking care of your mental health and meditating. We need a few minutes of calm and peace more than ever.
- TikTok can be fun if you are 12 or Connor getting hit on, but make sure the girls you are talking to are of age, and just know that you look ridiculous doing those dances.
- Who knows what is also happening with 5g, but Connor is going to update us next episode on ways he is protecting himself from cell phone radiation.
- Things that we love to do to get our full health bar even higher: saunas, a lot of Vitamin D, fish oil, garlic.
- Two conspiracy theories that Brandon heard from people he respects - there is a political agenda behind Corona, and it is man made from a chemical weapons location.
- Connor is having girls over, but no kissing. This may also be the best benefit of it all. Brandon is up in his penthouse with not that much human contact.

We figured that with everyone sitting in their homes and social distancing from the world, you could use a real talk with us more than ever. Even though we aren’t doctors, we still have some advice on ways to boost your immunity during this time, and just make yourself healthier in general. We talk about capitalizing in the time of Corona, how to still work out and stay fit, and why Connor was in the middle of Florida kissing girls during this pandemic.
Key Takeaways:
- Connor went to Ft. Lauderdale to film for spring break, but it was before all the real craziness went down with Corona.
- Brandon is prepared for EVERYTHING with his hazmat suit and doomsday prep.
- Being quarantined at home is a perfect time to invite girls over since everywhere is closed.
- Here are some things we recommend to help boost your immune system: Vitamin D, exercise, meditation, getting enough sleep, infrared saunas, Zinc, elderberries, and Vitamin C. And even more sleep.
- Social distance can’t hurt, so practice it!
- Legend has it, this whole thing started because someone just wanted to eat a bat.
- Be on the lookout for some new Connor content featuring hot Twitch girls in Vegas.
- You know it’s not a great Chippendales prank until someone gets threatened to be shot.

Brandon took pre-workout before the show today, so get ready for a firecracker episode about video games, Connor’s four-way kiss, and what’s really going on behind both their single lives. Connor also shares the news about his new dating course to get your dream girl, Brandon urges Connor to hire a maid, they break down the next presidential candidates, and the guys talk about having a YouTube channel with your girlfriend and whether or not they could do it.
Key Takeaways:
- Stay tuned for some big giveaway on Connor’s end about a competition show where it’s like America’s Next Top Model but for Instagram, and a house of hot girls competing in Vegas. Who knows, he may be the Paula Abdul judge while Brandon is the Simon Cowell.
- Connor and Kinsey launched 7 Secrets to Get Your Dream Girl, where they give both the girls and guys perspective on how to gain charisma, confidence, and just do better in life and love.
- Connor recommends Nintendo Switch for those of you who don’t want to have video games take up for your life, but just want to play for like 10 minutes a day.
- Brandon is single for life and just meditates while all you losers are having sex.
- Fake weddings like Tana’s and Jake’s seem like a lot of work, and they always seem to get complicated.
- Any hot ladies out there want to clean Connor’s house for free, and he will at least consider hooking up with you after?
- Connor is getting some cool artwork, but would really appreciate it if Brandon got a picture of his naked body on his arm.

Brandon is convinced that he has found the best meditation book and technique out there, and he couldn’t wait to share it with Connor and the podcast. Emily Fletcher’s book, Stress Less, Accomplish More, includes a step-by-step guide for meditation for better performance and explains why stress is making us sick and slow, and what we can do about it. Emily shares what the Ziva method is, how we can start at it right away, and some of the positive changes we can expect in all aspects of our life, anywhere from the bedroom to the boardroom.
Key Takeaways:
- Brandon can’t say enough good things about Emily’s book, Stress Less, Accomplish More. He has done meditation for over a decade and finds it be a powerful way to explain how to get results fast.
- The Ziva method is a meditation, mindfulness, and manifestation technique that is super efficient in clearing stress, healing our bodies and minds, and opening the pathway for even bigger and better things to come in.
- Emily has taught over 20K students and consistently holds live retreats and teachings. Her Ziva method course is available online as well.
- The more we lift others up, the more we lift ourselves up. But yes, Brandon, we do want to beat people as well in competitive sports!
- Connor hasn’t experienced anything negative from meditating, but some people have reported a catharsis as part of the healing release.
- With 40% of couples citing they are often too tired to have sex, lowering our stress will give us more energy and better performance.
- The more energy and clarity you have, the more likely you are to make decisions that save you time and earn you more money.
- Money is energy, and we don’t get what we want — we get what we deserve.
- Stress is responsible for 90% of our doctor’s visits and costing us time and life decisions and productivity.
- Stay tuned for Emily’s kids’ meditation training, out most likely late this summer.

The guys return this week, and they aren’t holding back! They talk about the good, bad, and ugly of life in the new year; Connor shares what dating apps he loves the most and how he’s getting around new videos too risque for YouTube. Brandon explains why he loves cold showers and only plans on wearing one outfit for the rest of time. Welcome to 2020, Adonyx style.
Key Takeaways:
- Connor switched up his YouTube content and it’s going well. His video of girls reacting to going from dad bod to muscular god was quite a hit.
- It’s a hard life for Connor having his junk grabbed and being forced to make out with fans, but he powers through for all of us.
- New girl rule for 2020: cut off the toxic girls, and know how to spot ’em early. Ain’t no one got time for that.
- If you see Brandon out in his Lululemon pants and Target V-Neck shirt, just know that’s his new uniform for life.
- Connor is feeling like Bumble and Hinge are where it’s at for dating apps now. No one takes Tinder seriously anymore.
- Could TikTok be the next big social media platform? Time will tell, but in the meantime, Connor will be sure to blow up on it.
- These three things make Connor feel like a million bucks even when he doesn’t get a good night’s sleep: meditation, cold showers, and Wim Hof breathing.

The guys are back, and better than ever! In this comeback episode, Connor talks about how he finally got verified on Instagram, and the ways it has changed his life forever. Brandon is thinking about trying out for American Ninja Warrior. Then, the guys discuss how to make soccer better, why football can be confusing, and Connor’s new partnership with Bang.
Key Takeaways:
- Connor is finally verified! That little blue checkmark wasn’t easy to get, but worth the effort. A company named Full Screen helped him submit and resubmit, and to know the steps to take to make his chances bigger of getting verified.
- If you aren’t working with a company like Full Screen, three (not so easy) steps to getting verified: Build a huge following with at least half a million followers, look like an aesthetic god, and work out hard for the past 10 years.
- Brandon is working on his video submission for American Ninja Warrior, so just stay tuned for possibly more.
- Maybe Connor and Brandon will hold a tournament for YouTube fitness stars, even better than Challenger Games.
- Hey NBA commissioner, listen to Brandon’s ideas for a way to change up the same.
- The guys have an idea on how to help soccer be more exciting — add extra goals and make the field half the size.
- If you don’t really understand football, don’t worry you aren’t alone.
- Connor is stoked to be partnering with Bang Energy, and his new interview style is already a huge hit.

Sean Batchelor, ICN Men’s Physique Pro, joins the show to share his experience as both a completely natty professional competitor and (today is your lucky day, ladies) a former dancer for Australia's Thunder Down Under. Sean talks about all the preparation and training that went into his ICN Men’s Physique competition, his choice of diet that helps him stay lean but gain and maintain muscle, and if life on stage as a male dancer really is the same as what they show on Magic Mike.
Key Takeaways:
- Sean performed with Australia's Thunder Down Under for over two years. It was great exercise and a ton of cardio every night, fun to travel the world, and just a crazy, wild time.
- Sean is an ICN Men’s Physique Pro, which means “I Compete Natural.”
- Sean was a fat little kid, and always wanted abs. After playing some sports, he threw himself into fitness and discovered he loved to be responsible for the hard work that led to his own success.
- If Connor were to compete again, he would incorporate some refeed days. Not only is it fun, but it resets your hormone levels so you continue to drop fat.
- Sean ate lean and lowered his carbs for competition, and found that intermittent dieting with 4 days of diet and 3 days of refeeding worked for him, and helped with gradual weight loss while keeping muscle.
- Sean’s training schedule was 3 push-pull days, lower body 2 times a week, and abs 2 times a week. The hardest part was trying to function and fight fatigue while eating low-carb.
- Practice makes perfect when it comes to posting. Sean posed at least 3 times a day and worked with a coach to become more fluid and natural.
- Yes, Thunder Down Under really is like what you see on Magic Mike. The women could be like ravenous animals, hungry for just one bite.

It’s a good one this week, folks. We reveal a huge guest we almost had on who still may hang with us in the future, talk about Connor setting a new World Record, and Brandon going off keto in Europe. We also explain why it’s easy to get girls on a cruise, share our favorite camera equipment, and give our take on working out when you’re sore vs. taking a break.
Key Takeaways:
- We almost got British far-right political commentator Milo Yiannopoulos on as a guest. We still may… stay tuned.
- Don’t only have friends that back up your own personal opinions. It’s cool to have people around with different viewpoints.
- Connor has some room for a couple of gay friends! Actually, he has room for a few friends in general.
- Connor is back from the Rolling Loud rap festival in Oakland and had a great time seeing headliners G-Eazy along with Future and Migos.
- Brandon has three favorite white people: Connor, Auntie Trillsteen and G-Eazy.
- Connor thinks he may have set a World Record at the Rolling Loud Festival. He curled 100 girls in 24 hours. That, friends, is record-setting and breaking.
- If you work out when you are sore, it should help the soreness. But, you can also come back stronger after breaks.
- Get ready for more main channel videos on Connor’s page. Maybe he can borrow Brandon’s new iPhone 11 and film some hidden camera stuff.
- Brandon went off keto in Europe and is fine. You can take a break, as long as you are consistent and on your game the rest of the time.
- Looking for girls? Try taking a cruise. Everyone is there feeling the vacation vibe and you are all right next to each other. Connor wasn’t looking because he is currently taken, but there sure was some Big Deck Energy on his last cruise.

Brandon jets to Europe for some business and is ready to get his solo bonbon on. Connor hangs out with a guy that’s even more attractive than him, and then we both get honest about where we fall on the attractiveness scale. We talk about why we are scared of steroids and if we would ever use them, remind people you can go off keto, and pose a challenge to you, listeners, to have sex without Google Translate in a foreign country.
Key Takeaways:
- Brandon is getting ready to fly to Europe for some business. He isn’t looking to hook up with girls while there but more looking forward to going off keto for some croissants or whatever.
- It is possible to go off and on keto. Just because you have one off day doesn’t mean you have to stop it forever.
- Both Brandon and Connor have been talking about testosterone for so long, maybe it’s time they put their money where their mouth is and try it out. The upside is that they aren’t concerned about losing any (more) hair. The downside is the girls may not find them as attractive, and no one wants to be the crazy dude with no eyebrows.
- Testosterone gets lowered as guys get older, and according to the statistics, there are definitely some alpha babies running around nursery school.
- It’s an Adonyx challenge: If you are about to hook up abroad with someone who doesn’t speak American as their first language, try to do it without Google Translate.
- Connor is at his peak attractiveness and looks pretty damn good even in moderate lighting. Brandon also basks in having it all — LSM or Looks, Money, and Status.
- A guy's view of attractiveness is way broader than the range of girls. One girl’s 6 is another 10.
- Connor ponders if someone not as hot as him could possibly do the same videos that he does with as much success. Stay tuned...

We kick this average-to-good episode off by talking about the south side of Chicago, and what Brandon really thinks about it. Then, Connor gives an update on who won at Olympia, we get into the cultural reason behind who wins expensive sports, followed by a deep discussion on who really built the pyramids. We also share some tips on having an Instagram that makes it seem like you have a cool life and rate our own to see who is winning the online game.
Key Takeaways:
- The southside of Chicago may be cool and home to Obama now, but Brandon remembers when McDonalds and movie theaters there were getting shut down due to violence.
- The Olympia competition just happened in Las Vegas, and we have some feelings about it. Brandon Curry won, along with a bunch of other awards going out, but we aren’t sure how anyone had fun without us.
- We ponder how the Jewish people were able to build the pyramids if they weren’t jacked. Brandon feels like the most difficult sport on earth is hockey. It’s hard to fight, win, and skate all at the same time.
- You may think it’s genetics that gives black athletes the advantage, but Brandon raises a point that it’s the sports that are cheap that they often excel in. Expensive ones like golf and swimming may be another story.
- Theory: serial monogamists are just guys who are shy and have no game. It’s simply the only way they know how to get laid.
- Dudes — if you put on tights and your ass looks too much like a hot girl, we’ve got an issue.
- Connor looks like a crazy douche on his Instagram, but it’s worked out well for him and his crazy high fan engagement rates. Brandon may have the best Instagram of them all, as he seems rich with a cool life.
-
Here’s what makes a good Instagram:
- Take photos where you look attractive but not douchey.
- Don’t try too hard.
- Post photos where you are having fun in different locations.
- Get some good action shots of you actually doing something rather than just sitting or standing there.
- Clean videos without a ton of text.
- Make it seem like you have friends! Take photos with other people and sprinkle a few of them in.

You will never believe this, but talk about sleep, girls, and gains on this episode and then we manage to somehow get off track. We give our theories on why you don’t really need weed, alcohol, or Hollywood parties to be cool, Connor thinks about who may be the lucky one to carry his seed, and Brandon opens up about being bipolar.
Key Takeaways:
- Brandon averages four hours a night, but kids… don’t do that at home.
- Any women out there that are willing to let Connor spread his seed without any responsibility? Similar to a Genghis Khan type situation, where they can sign a pre-partum agreement and Connor will mend the relationship years later when he sees which one grows up to be a successful professional athlete.
- Connor hardly drinks at all, and will only do the courtesy shot when it’s someone he doesn’t know too well offering him a drink.
- When you feel good and confident about yourself already, things like weed and alcohol are more of a downgrade than an upgrade. People tend to abuse drugs when they are hiding from something or trying to mask their own pain.
- Energy syncs up, so be careful who you hang out with and let in your close friend circle.
- Everything in moderation. You don’t have to switch from being a monk to like Dan Bilzerian with multiple girls every day, but somewhere in between is most likely where we are happiest.
- Too much of anything will burn out the receptors in the brain and make pleasure even tougher to come by. Things like meditation and charting your mood can help make your base state happier.

Ready, all you great and introverted, yet intelligent people needing help with your social skills? Connor announces his new program, Social Momentum, which will help guys gain more confidence, and learn to not care so much about what others think. You may think ‘game’ is all about showing off a chiseled face and fine aesthetics, but that’s far from the truth. If you wonder how Connor has the ability to go out in a crowd wearing nothing but a speedo and get numbers from the hottest chicks, this is where you will find out all the secrets and tips. The guys also talk about making love with manatees, why being good looking isn’t as easy as you may think, and Brandon’s new Best Keto drink.
Key Takeaways:
- Brandon is still swearing off girls, and between his meal prep and indoor gym, he will soon have no reason to venture into the outside world.
- If Brandon continues to not even touch or look at a woman, he may fall prey to The Mermaid Effect. When pirates would go many months without female contact, manatees and sea cows would start to look like really hot mermaids.
- It’s not just Connor’s looks that get him all the girls — he really is an insanely good pick up artist. He and Brandon have had to overcome the typical challenges of being super good looking, which is that people think you are douchey and “too attractive” to be taken seriously.
- Looks are great, but being on your game really does conquer everything. And to take it even one step further, you don’t even need great game if you just are naturally cool, fun, attractive and successful.
- Every guy can be more attractive in the way he dresses, his accomplishments, and the way he carries himself. Connor’s new program, likely called “Social Momentum,” will help guys gain these skills.
- Connor is taken now, but the minute he is single he will have sex with the nastiest girls he can find and try his absolute hardest and see if he can shake off an STD like he thinks he can. The risk is high, but the reward is even higher.
- Social Momentum will help people go for what they want out of life, without worrying about what other people think of them. The course includes 69 steps to raise confidence, starting from just going to a social setting all the way to walking through a crowd wearing a speedo. It will also cover mindset and attitude, and sage advice from other pick up artists.
- Stay tuned for some news in Brandon’s world about Best Keto.

Social Momentum
Connor has been seeing the Get Better Game account everywhere around social media, so he figured it was probably time to get them on the show. Zeke and Max join him this week to talk about how and why they started Get Better Game, and the ways their army is helping men all over the world get the confidence they desire. They talk about ways to boost both inner and outer confidence, social skills, games, and status and why these are real things that can actually lead to hotter girls, and more of them. They also talk about what they are doing personally to be high-value, ways to build social momentum, and why starting a YouTube Channel may be the best pick up idea, yet.
Key Takeaways:
- Zeke and Max started @getbettergame because they saw a need for men to actually be masculine in a society that is very much trying to rid itself of toxic masculinity. Men didn’t know how to act or where to go, so Get Better Game became a resource.
- Guys that join the group not only get skills on confidence, but attraction skills so they can game girls they may have previously been intimidated by.
- True confidence comes when we put in the work on both our inner and outer selves. It comes with taking action, otherwise, it’s just a delusion.
- It’s great to build up social momentum so that by the time you arrive at a party or date you are loose and fun instead of uptight and self- conscious. Even just talking to one girl every day who is on your path can help build the muscle of fun and ease.
- All the guys are big fans of keeping the mind free and open, and meditation is a great tool to use to get there.
- If you are gaming girls in the city, you may notice they are more masculine in their approach (not always their looks) because they’ve had to rise to that occasion for their career.
- Girls want high-value guys and ones that make them feel they are winning something just by getting to be with them.
- A few of the inner and outer confidence boosters that are game-changers for Zeke and Max: yoga, sun-gazing, fasting, ice baths, and even dancing and playing the piano.
- Connor has been doing a 72-hour fast once a month, which is like a 2-week cut in a few days. He loves it and feels energetic and sharp while on it.
- Find what you are good at, and join a MeetUp to meet other people with the same interest. Or, start a YouTube channel and you will find others are interested and attracted to your confidence on the subject.
- Even if you don’t have as many followers as Connor on Instagram, you can still act as though you do. Post daily about something cool you are actually doing, and you will start to see the messages come in.

Wow. All of this from Connor having just one little cold. Connor rattles off his theories on how we can cure STDs, and why intermittent fasting and keto may have something to do with it. Brandon thinks he is crazy but is sure in for the ride. They talk about how common STDs are, some of the different types, and ways to avoid them or recover quickly. Then, they do the science on why we are having less sex as a culture, but with even more people.
Key Takeaways:
- Connor may sound sick in this episode, but he swears it’s not throat gonorrhea.
- Pulling out may be more effective than condoms for STD according to Dr. Connor, but don’t forget about that whole baby protection thing. Also, let’s be real, no one pulls out effectively anymore.
- New business idea maybe — Condom Shorts? We can sell them at colleges and make it fun and fashionable to not get herpes.
- Infectious bacteria can’t get into your system and survive without glucose. This theory lends itself to why Connor believes that keto and intermittent fasting may help heal or stave off STDs.
- An estimated 80% of people have herpes, and they are not all the giant weird blister lip things you see in medical journals.
- Let’s get to the conspiracy theories: maybe some of these diseases are government made. Maybe to control our population, maybe to keep people from having premarital sex, or maybe it’s something even weirder. Whatever it is, Connor is open to the idea that these diseases can be a scare tactic from the rich and powerful, so just stay open to new ideas and learning.
- While the rate of how often we all have sex has gone down by almost 10%, we are choosing different people to have sex with more than ever. This means it’s important to be extra careful about everything mentioned today to be safe.

Connor and Brandon take all their college of knowledge expertise and turn this week into the best back-to-school hacks you have ever heard. Whether it’s how to get straight A’s, what to eat and drink, and why you need to talk with five girls a day, follow these and you will be the homecoming king in no time. These tips are so good, Connor and Brandon are even thinking about going back to school again, or at least crashing the on-campus parties.
Key Takeaways:
[4:09] Brandon’s birthday is coming up on September 15, but don’t expect him to go all out. Birthdays are for women and men that are too excitable.
[6:01] Big news! Connor just got that big blue checkmark on Facebook. Now that he is verified, he will show up on other celebrities’ comments, people are more likely to follow him, and he just has a renewed purpose in the world.
[16:44] Datefit is like Tinder for fit people. While Brandon stays away from love in all forms (even sex dolls and robots), Connor will be at the Datefit event right after they go to Mr. Olympia.
[24:49] There’s been a ton of Mr. Olympia drama already! Allegations have been flying, and Kenny K.O. has been exposing people left and right.
[28:34] Here are some actual back to school hacks that will leave you at the top of the class:
- Take notes in class, then rewrite the notes at night. This will help you retain the information and keep it in your brain for longer.
- Use your sex appeal to your advantage. Find a smart nerdy girl, and trade her your skills for her help. If you are like Brandon, maybe she will even do your laundry.
- Use the meal plan to your advantage. Do intermittent fasting with the small meal plan, and eat what you can weigh, not the mystery lasagna.
- Work out first thing in the morning, as it’s easy to get distracted by all the fun and parties.
- Reverse prioritization is when you do the simple tasks first and leave the big ones (like homework and writing) that you know you have to do at some point, later.
- Ditch the sugary drinks and beer, and go straight for the hard stuff. You will save calories.
- Don’t be weird, just be cool. Try to meet and become friends with five girls a day, and you will know everyone even sooner than you think.
[39:02] Another option is — don’t even go to school! Just fake it and just have fun. You’ll save money on tuition and still get the benefits of partying and girls.

Right now, the Challenger Games are going on, which is an event Logan Paul hosted to troll the internet. Connor noticed so many people were getting injured, are they just not active or are they warming up completely wrong? This sparks some conversations with Brandon about working out multiple times a day, fasting, and boosting your energy levels.
Key Takeaways:
[1:10] Brandon has had to put his superman cape on all year.
[1:40] Connor gives a quick overview of the Challenger Games that Logan Paul hosted.
[5:45] If your target market is young men, you can not overestimate how interested they are in women. Everything they do is to get the girl or impress the girl. We even pick careers to get the girl.
[10:15] Brandon shares some of his multi-million dollar ideas like Rent-A-Dog. If you get them trained enough, you can get the dog to fetch hot girls.
[19:00] At the Challenger Games, half of the people participating ended up getting injured. Was it real or were they faking it for more views?
[23:45] Did you know that just doing stretches as your warm-up can actually injure you? It creates a deeper range of motion without the stability behind it. Brandon dives into his warm-up routine and why it’s better to start slow.
[30:55] Connor has been breaking down his workouts in smaller chunks, but it means he has to work out multiple times a day. I might be bro-science, but his body just feels a lot better by doing it this way.
[39:10] What are the benefits of fasting vs. doing a slow cut?
[48:00] Brandon explains what heart rate variability is. By monitoring this, you can quickly tell if you’re overtraining yourself or not.
[55:10] Connor dated a girl in college that was bi-polar. It was like she was on Adderall all the time.

This week we talk about things that make us happy, like chicken wings and girls rating Connor’s Tinder. We get into Brandon’s new and improved sleep schedule, the farthest we have ever traveled for sex, breathing techniques that actually work, and why doing two workouts a day may actually be more beneficial than just one.
Key Takeaways:
[:40] Brandon is single, but not on the market. He’s trying to stay away from women like the plague and only loving his friends, family and of course — you guys.
[2:40] Mania is lit — until it’s not. Sleep is the most anabolic thing you can do and has such a big impact on how we feel and perform throughout the day. Brandon is now going to bed at 10 p.m. and waking up at 6 a.m., and this new routine is non-negotiable. Better mood plus focused energy equals more gains in life.
[12:03] Observe what things make you happy and what makes you stressed. For Brandon, chicken wings put a big smile on his face while being late makes him stress. Just being aware is part of the deal.
[14:46] A lot of psychiatric disorders are made worse or triggered by poor sleep. Modern society wants us to hustle all the time and never sleep, but this isn’t sustainable.
[19:21] Too bad for Brandon that all these healthy things he is doing to optimize his life are going to make him hornier!
[22:10] If you aren’t having luck on Tinder, try switching to Hinge for a while. Super hot chicks, and if you are like Connor there are just too many crazy matches on Tinder to wade through. Brandon isn’t in the market, but still likes to keep it old fashioned with the opener, “Hey ma, what that mouth do?”
[33:51] Brandon does two 15-20 minute workouts a day, once as soon as he wakes up and another after work.
[38:24] Cool things you can do to optimize the blood flow to your brain: cold showers, Wim Hof Breathing, and brisk walks.
[43:12] Along with being back on the cyclical carb circuit, Brandon is trying out herbs and adaptogens like Lion’s Mane and Reishi.
[50:16] There’s a reason Steve Jobs wore the same thing every day. When we eat the same thing; wear the same thing, it keeps our cortisol levels low and doesn’t waste any precious time.

It’s a crazy episode this week for sure. Connor leaks the info to his new (bald) alter ego, Pat Murphy. Brandon checks off all the boxes for having a midlife crisis and needs your help before he buys a Lambo and an eye patch. Then, the guys talk about they would want to box, how to make eye contact and win a fight, and why women don’t really need you to have hair to get turned on.
Key Takeaways:
[3:06] If you want to see Connor’s latest Instaventure plus a super hot bald dude, check out @PatMurphyFitness. If he looks familiar, there’s a reason why.
[5:03] According to a Men’s Health Magazine article, bald men are more confident, attractive, and dominant than guys with hair. They make up for their lack of hair in other ways. There are some super hot and badass bald men, and Brandon rattles off just a few of these on his list: Thanos, The Rock, Michael Jordan, Tupac, Jeff Bezos, Buddha, Bruce Willis, the guy from Transporter (Statham), Pitbull, Mr. Clean, Dick Cheney, and of course — Vladamir Putin.
[8:24] Women may say they like hair better, but a badass personality and some power will most likely change their minds real quick.
[17:53] Brandon keeps it bald and beautiful by shaving once a day with his Mach 3 razor. He thinks being bald also makes him look bigger, and his head looks just like another big muscle on his body.
[27:05] You guys, Brandon is going through a midlife crisis just a little early. He just got dumped, and now wants to get a lot of tattoos, a Lamborghini, and possibly an eye patch for the full supervillain effect. He checks off all the boxes for a midlife crisis: changing careers, the desire to buy a sports car, and the ending of a relationship. Instead of getting a new supermodel girlfriend though, he wants to swear off women and even sex dolls. Holler at him with any good tips to have no sex drive, or how he can use steroids to decrease his desire in women yet not ruin his gains.
[47:23] Protip — if you are about to get in a fight with someone, try to give them the craziest look right in the eyes that you can. Try not to laugh or else you will get punched in the face.

Matt Gallant is a serial entrepreneur, life optimizer, and one of Brandon’s biggest mentors. He took Brandon to the next level of his own business and is like a Yoda of information on biohacking and productivity. He joins the show today to talk about how we can get to the next level of optimizing our diet, making sure we have the right supplements, and what sleep hacks we need to get on right away. Matt is the CEO of BiOptimizers and the straight up ‘G’ of helping others get biologically optimized, smarter and sharper.
Key Takeaways:
[3:09] Connor has been doing ketogenic cyclic five days a week and then two high carb days on Sunday and Wednesday at the end of the day. Matt is also a cyclical carb dude and takes enzymes Gluten Guardian so he doesn’t get bloated or gassy during his carb days.
[12:44] Gluten will cause some level of inflammation for even those that don’t have celiac disease. Brandon avoids the food altogether, or Matt also suggests taking enzymes.
[16:10] There are three stages of keto that really show you just how much progress you are making: 14 days, 3 months in, and around a year.
[18:15] Not only will you have some pretty amazing bowel movements using KApex, but it also helps break down fats into digestible useable fatty acids.
[18:35] Some of the benefits of sticking to a keto diet include more energy and better focus. Brandon also takes some ketone esters for an energy booster.
[20:32] Matt does pretty intense brain training every year to keep himself in peak condition. It’s like meditation but also with audio rewards to signal to your brain what it should keep doing.
[28:06] Lions Mane and Coffeeberry extract can help with memory.
[31:21] Brandon is Bipolar 2 which is the manic kind… super energetic, acting out sexually (he’s heard) and often gets a small amount of sleep.
[37:34] One of the biggest parts of optimizing your diet is looking at what you ate as a kid, and how it affects your digestion now. The other is understanding your genetics and how they play into what you can and cannot easily absorb.
[38:50] One of the biggest uplevelers of them all — good sleep. Matt has invested a lot of money in sleep, including blackout curtains, a great mattress without springs, and an EMF protection cage.
[51:02] 75 minutes of deep sleep and 90 minutes of REM is where you want to be. Sleep builds all the good stuff like neurotransmitters and healthy hormones.
[55:33] A perfect nap is about 20–23 minutes.
[59:14] Two things will reset your clock in the morning. Get light in your eyes and eat a big meal.
[63:46] Matt’s Sleep stack: CBD with no THC, L-Theanine, lavender oil, and magnesium.

In this extra special edition of the podcast, not only is Brandon back and bigger than ever, but the guys welcome entrepreneur and bikini competitor Amber Morningstar as their first girl co-host. Then, they break down Connor’s most popular videos and never talked about behind the scenes moments, if the thumbnails are real or fake, and who he still may call from the video to hook up.
Key Takeaways:
[4:02] The guys welcome speak guest co-host Amber Morningstar, businesswoman and bikini competitor.
[8:20] They go behind the scenes of Connor’s most popular video of all time, “The Connor Murphy Fake Shirt Trick,” where girls had to guess the color of his shirt under his jacket, and a wrong guess means they give him their number. Connor was sly and put a piece of red fabric under the jacket when in actuality he had no shirt on! The girls were all over it and he used every real reaction.
[20:13] Even Amber thinks Connor should up his arm game.
[22:00] The guys love them some short girls! Tall girls can be super hot, but compact is where it’s at.
[25:04] Amber officially wins the first ever Adonyx Bikini Competition. There are no other competitors yet and no trophy, but she’s still in first place.
[26:09] We love it when girls give us the thumbnail with their true reactions.
[30:19] Connor has an epiphany — in the unedited Fake Shirt video, he has the footage of the girls he never called saying their numbers. He hasn’t called them yet, but it’s not too late.
[42:46] Connor is going to have to come up with new tricks since smart, non-bimbos like Amber are on to him. If you see him wearing a clown mask you know why.
[48:33] Create two accounts and follow the guys and like everything they post. It will help numbers and give you a new account to look at the exes that have blocked you.

Jason Maxwell, AKA J Max Fitness in the house for Round 2 of The Adonyx Podcast. He breaks down how his Instagram content is so easy to understand yet powerful, why he loves float tanks, meditation, and ways you can start lucid dreaming. The guys also talk about sleep — how much they get, how they get it, and why it’s important.
Key Takeaways:
[3:26] JMax keeps his Instagram, @JMax, super easy to read with tips and tricks people can start implementing right away for massive results. He keeps it updated daily and posts information from all over the spectrum of fitness that all levels can learn from.
[5:50] Check out Connor’s Instagram for a video of him and @britthertz covering all bases of a post that should go viral (hot girl, shirtless dude with muscles, crazy flips). Be sure to tag your friends.
[7:50] If you want to lose fat, you have to be in the deficit either by eating less, or burning more calories. Cardio does have some benefits; it can be boring and time-consuming whereas it takes less effort to put yourself in a deficit by eating less.
[13:29] Wingate sprints are one of the best ways to burn fat, maximize high-intensity cardio and create some major leg gains.
[18:54] Both Connor and JMax love the Float Tank experience. The sensory deprivation aspect makes it easy to meditate, let your brain settle and be stimulation-free for a small amount of time.
[25:51] JMax also has seen some major benefits from meditating and aims to do it at least 10 minutes every day.
[28:59] Sleep is pretty much everything. We need it, and we are pretty messed up without it even for just a few days. Connor finds 8 hours of sleep a day, even if it’s naps for 30-90 minutes.
[32:33] Sleep cycles are made up of deep sleep, REM and light sleep. We need deep sleep to rest and relax and REM to have good memory and recall, and to stay sharp and focused.
[35:02] Two side effects Connor notices when he doesn’t get enough sleep are water retention, and feeling way hungrier.
[50:24] Lucid dreaming hack: In your waking life, when you turn on and off the lights, ask yourself if you are dreaming and you will start to do the same in your sleep, leading to the ability to lucid dream.

RSD Derek is one of the best dating coaches of all times, and he returns to the podcast this week to hang with Connor. They talk about the difference between “pick up” tricks and real coaching, how to set goals and actually see results, ways to cure approach anxiety, his Boot Camp, and why you’ll be turning down the best dating opportunity you’ve ever had when you work with him.
Key Takeaways:
[1:31] RSD Derek is the most requested dating coach out there and he teaches live programs for all types of guys all over the world. They are already the type of guy a girl would like to know, but just need to fine tune their communication skills rather than convince a girl to spend time with them.
[4:52] Being good at game is about being a good economist, psychologist, and communicator.
[6:08] Just like working on physique, results come when you have training, commitment, and discipline.
[10:47] Connor’s Cheat Code to get dramatically better at game: don’t have sex or jerk off for a week. RSD even has a rule that you should only masturbate when you are in a relationship.
[15:52] Plan your logistics to be near the epic place. It’s crazy how much it impacts your success rate.
[20:52] Stop with the excuses. Go make some more money, and realize that you can make a lifestyle choice to have more abundance.
[25:09] Pick two goals you have right now, and spend a few hours each day focusing on those.
[32:58] After RSD Derek’s Boot Camps, the guys usually get the opportunity to date the best girls in about three to six weeks. It takes about a year to gain confidence and rewire the brain to live in a place of abundance instead of fear or ego.
[37:16] Another RSD Derek Rule: If you don’t have five pretty girls contacting you for sex, you aren’t ready to get into a relationship yet.
[38:40] Leading with money will harm your results. It’s there to help you solve logistics, not to try and get girls to like you.
[47:02] RSD Derek breaks down why the girls in Vegas are hoping to meet an awesome dude, but it’s on you to convey to her that you are that guy.
[56:22] It’s evolutionarily ingrained in our brain to feel anxiety when hitting on the hottest girl. We are tribal creatures and don’t want to ruffle feathers or get laughed at.
[61:12] It should be your goal to both make a woman’s life better, and also determine if her value system matches yours.

Today’s guest goes by a few aliases, and you probably know all of them unless you are hiding under a rock. We welcome YouTuber SimpleSexyStupid — or Aryia as his friends call him. He and Connor talk about how to skip the line and get into LA clubs, why college girls are more fun, his Instagame program, and why almost half of his videos are demonetized.
Key Takeaways:
[1:20] Aryia shares some tips to get into any club in LA without having to be “on the list.” Embrace being extra, try to look like someone that matters, walk straight past to the line to the bouncer and say it’s just you. If you can roll solo or just with some girls, it’s way better than just a pack of dudes. If it can work for our friend Ben, it can work for you.
[8:37] Aryia made it his mission to get to know the club promoters, and his hard work paid off.
[11:17] No, it’s not gross to hang out with 24-year-olds. It’s in our biological wiring to like the vibe of college girls.
[14:19] USC is a hot school for sure, and Aryia said that the parties are lit. Santa Barbara is also another great party town.
[19:25] Connor loved doing spring breaks in South Padre Island and Miami, and can’t wait to try Cancun. Pro tip: party and meet girls during the day when the sun is out instead of just sleeping in.
[23:32] 30-50% of Aryia’s videos end up demonetized. It’s hard to know exactly what causes it because both types have girls in bikinis, making out, and drinking, but basically, it comes down to the discretion of YouTube. The tip is to use chill words and a chill title, and then when it gets approved… change it to be crazy.
[31:55] If YouTube doesn’t pan out, there is still hope for our porn career.
[34:41] Aryia loves a good collab, and he’s been down with writing and producing with others. Connor also has been in the mix with creating a new music video, so expect that in the next coming months.
[40:28] It’s turning more into quality over consistency lately on YouTube. The videos that go viral is how you grow, so it’s important to make them good rather than focus on getting as many as you can out.
[42:43] Instagram is everything now when it comes to dating, even more than most apps or getting the number to text. It’s a way for girls to see what you are all about, trust you, and get to know you through posting stories that evoke responses and responding to hers.
[46:27] When you set up your Instagram to show you are high-value, you basically don’t need to do any work and the girls will come to you. However, the trust may go down initially but it’s not anything that can’t be built over time. He developed the Instagame program to help others get girls to notice them, respond to them and even go after them on the app.

Celebrity fitness trainer and YouTuber Gregory O'Gallagher AKA Kinobody joins Connor in this week’s episode. He shares the secrets of KETO BODY, what he personally focuses on in his routine, the correlation between strength and muscle training, his intermittent fasting, why he only works out three days a week, and of course the Skywalker drama.
Key Takeaways:
[4:11] Greg weighs 185, and he has built his strength over 10 years of training. He does a mix of strength work and rest and keeps his volume low with the intention of getting strong.
[6:36] Greg hits three really intense sets in a wide rep range, instead of doing just one heavy one.
[9:16] It’s better to add weight slowly, rather than burn yourself out too quickly.
[10:12] Greg only works out three days a week, and it’s all about going in to focus on intensity. He is always maximizing his recovery and coming in fresh to the gym.
[16:38] Greg also does intermittent fasting and finds that our body gets adapted quickly and resets itself to a certain way of eating. His calories are around 2400-2500 calories a day, with the last 400 or so coming from chocolate.
[23:42] Much like Connor, Greg’s fan base lets him know right away in the comments if they think he’s lost muscle!
[27:55] Connor has done a few 72-hour fasts and falling asleep the first night is definitely the toughest part.
[33:21] Greg shares how some Instagram ads started the drama with Jon Skywalker. He had a crazy ace in his pocket that he let out and basically dropped the mic and came up with the most creative use of discount codes and over $30K in profit. The takeaway from this whole experience showed him more than ever not to be a hater and focus on pulling people down.
[48:29] Drama sells! Maybe Connor should do something super polarizing to get some YouTube drama! That might entail him erasing all his past life as a nerd so people don’t feel compassion for him.

Frank Yang is a YouTuber, philosopher, entrepreneur, and so much more. He joins Connor this week to talk about why he doesn’t plan, what living in the flow state is like, the benefits of meditation and why the best kind of relationship doesn’t need a label. He explains to us how he uses his body like a prop, his take on the NoFap movement and how he meets girls.
Key Takeaways:
[4:41] Frank reminds us that the more aligned we are within ourselves, the more aligned our mind and reality will be. Synchronicity is everywhere, and things are falling into place for us all the time. Frank believes every little event that occurs is supposed to be there, and it’s perfect.
[9:27] Both Connor and Frank agree it feels good to live more spontaneously have been feeling free and less stressed. However, they earned it by being extra disciplined for years. As both a classically trained musician and a fitness expert who tracked calories with much detail, Frank can now pretty much flow with where his mind and body take him and let the subconscious do the work.
[14:08] Body-builders are a great example of the power of the mind and body connection. When we are really tuned in to our muscles and our workouts, the more present we become and the better results we typically get.
[15:56] Frank got into bodybuilding when he was 18. He also has a passion for photography and performance in general.
[17:32] Meditating by sitting quietly is great, but benefits can be seen from just practicing being present at whatever you are doing. A great way to start is to do it while at the gym, in the sauna, or trying out a sensory deprivation float tank. A few of the benefits Connor noticed from meditating regularly was heightened senses, better awareness, and less stress.
[24:50] NoFap is a movement that avoids pornography and masturbation, for many different reasons. Connor and Frank have found right around the 10-day mark helps with motivation, clarity, and energy.
[29:19] When it comes to relationships, saying you don’t want to have a label is another way of also having a label. Relationships can mean different things to different people, so what is important is openness and communication and what is important to everyone.
[39:03] The stories we tell ourselves have such a big effect on who we later become. It’s like our childhood memories are like a game of telephone.
[43:10] Frank meets most girls through Instagram and has also used dating apps.
[47:47] Enjoy the process and be engaged, but detached from a certain outcome. That way, you just enjoy the ride.

In a very spontaneous episode, dating coach Max Maxim joins the show to talk about the importance of Instagram in dating and hooking up. He and Connor talk about how to enhance your game, the mistakes most dudes make online, how to slide into the DMs and stand out from the crowd, and tips to create Instagram that serves as your wingman.
Key Takeaways:
[1:31] Being popular on Instagram like Connor isn’t necessary to attract hot girls, but it sure doesn’t hurt. Connor’s biggest problem in the online world is showing girls that he is a real person, so he brings them to Instagram as a tactic.
[2:21] Sending a reply to a story is the best way to start talking with a girl on Instagram, but there are certainly some ground rules. First, show up like no one else when no one else is. All dudes are sliding in her DMs when she posts a sexy pic or one that will obviously solicit attention. Stand out by commenting on something that everyone else isn’t already commenting on.
[6:13] Don’t ask a question just to get a reply. Send a message that entertains you and that creates value and wait to talk back and forth before you jump into asking the girl out. This All Value Message comes from a place of abundance instead of neediness.
[8:13] Project the quality you want someone to have, and show gratitude that they have it. For Connor, he can thank a girl for treating him like a normal dude instead of being obsessed with his clout. They will see him as high-value and want to continue to do a good job.
[10:52] No more dates. Instead, invite her on an adventure that you already have going on, and one that you will have fun on, whether or not she comes.
[12:16] Even more important than attraction is developing trust. Invite her to bring a friend out along on your first adventure so that she feels relaxed and not so pressured. Bring her/them along on a cool mission you already have going on in your busy and exciting life.
[16:45] When escalating things in a physical sense remember: two steps forward and one step back.
[18:11] Max explains situations where the “push and pull” method will create more interest from an overly confident potential date. Other times, if the girl doesn’t have the highest self-confidence, you may need to be more obvious about wanting to hang out.
[25:04] A few of Max’s tips to get your Instagram at peak performance: take your pics from a lower angle, get some candid pics in there, be personal and smart about your captions, and use the “push/pull” method on stories. For every badass photo you take, sprinkle in a cute puppy one.
[28:06] Instead of exchanging phone numbers you should be exchanging Instagram handles. This way they can see what you are all about and you can develop your value before you even hang out.
[28:59] Hot girls have hot friends. Leverage the girls you have and tag them in your stories to be sure that their friends see you.

We have an absolute legend on the show today, Andrew Tate. He’s a four-time world champion Kickboxer, a chess master, and has made a fortune out of getting girls to twerk on camera. He talks with us today on what it has been like to fight all over the world, the biggest mistake men make with girls, how he took his entrepreneurial hustle to the webcam business, and motivating women with attention instead of money.
Key Takeaways:
[3:01] Andrew’s father, Emory, was a grand chess master and won the U.S. Armed Forces championship three times.
[5:37] Andrew loved fighting but had to make the decision to focus more on the webcam business once he saw how big it became.
[6:50] In a desperate attempt to make money, Andrew got the big idea to get his girlfriends together to start up a webcam business. He went from completely broke to having a ton of money and over 75 girls working for him.
[13:51] Every human being, male or female, seeks attention. Instead of trying to argue with women and give them more attention, he would lay down the plan on the line and refocus his attention if they weren’t interested in joining his life.
[18:38] Andrew still has five girls in the webcam business and his top girl can often earn up to $40K a month.
[25:44] Women love the idea of emotionally affecting you, and Andrew taught himself how to be unaffected and focused more on gaining even more money and abundance.
[28:56] Lying is cowardly, and you look weak. When you are straight up and authentic right from the start, women can make their own decision whether or not they want to be part of your life.
[33:26] Andrew doesn’t believe in being disrespectful, rude, or negging. Women prefer to respect their man, and that only comes when the man stays true to his mission and respects himself.
[37:07] 1. Value your attention. It’s your currency.
-
Respect yourself and stick to your guns.
-
Know you have choices, and be selective.
-
When you are unique and special, you will be surprised how loyal your girl is.
-
If you want it, go and get it.
[46:04] Women are complicit with having male friends because it’s giving them unlimited attention without having to do anything. To Andrew, it’s not about jealousy, it’s about being territorial.
[52:39] Guys, stop your snakelike beta strategy of hanging around girls hoping to get out of the friend zone and be straight with your intention.
[66:47] Everyone would be happier if we just positively reinforced each other's behavior and ignored bad behavior.
[72:21] “FTB” is the fancy way of saying goodbye to a power struggle and setting standards that make you happy, which in turn make your girl happy.

What a fun and weird week! Connor wants his podcast editor (and really, any girl) to know he’s ready when she is, and the guys also talk about some Steve Cook drama, fitness dudes in leggings, front squats, and cyberbullying.
Key Takeaways:
[2:01] Connor rethinks his strategy to gaining more girl fans and followers, aka more possible chicks to hook up with.
[4:18] A PSA to the dudes — if you have any girlfriends who can’t stop talking about Connor, do the right thing. Wingman for him and send them off to LA. He will put you in a video and give you a free copy of Tinder Cheat Codes.
[5:30] We talk about Steve Cook and his breakup with Courtney King. They each moved on and Steve unveiled his new girlfriend on Valentine’s Day.
[8:39] We explain why the chicks we date don’t make it on our social media. It’s not because we aren’t proud, it’s because we want to protect you from all the weird comments and cyberbullies.
[17:30] You guys want Adonyx swim pants? Let us know and maybe we will start including them in our next merch order.
[18:44] Brandon physically can’t wear man leggings. Must be nice.

This week, Brandon is back and he and Connor look deep into the webcam of their hearts to talk about the hookup game, a crazy night in London, weird fan encounters, great pick up lines, and what it takes to be a good wingman.
Key Takeaways:
[2:51] Yes, Connor would even outsource his hookup life too. Thanks to his faithful pal Trillsteen, who helped manage all the hot chicks sending him messages on Tinder and Instagram.
[4:47] Pro Tip: bounce from one platform to another both in dating and networking.
[6:02] Girls are down to hook up too, but they want you to take the lead and make her feel like things are just going with the flow. Be incisive and in charge.
[13:37] Connor and Brandon share a story about a time in London where they had way too much fun with one of Connor’s hookups.
[15:36] Girls can definitely be good wingwomen to each other too.
[17:06] If you are a fan of ours and see us out don’t be shy! Say hi, make eye contact, maybe even cry with gratitude about how we’ve transformed your life.
[20:43] Connor is going on a movie date with a girl, and fans can go live with them and in turn get their own copy of Tinder Cheat Codes.
[22:19] Connor reads some of the most clever and intense pickup lines in his DM’s — including a discount code for his clothes to come off and… butt stuff.
[28:25] Connor filmed a video at the CRSSD Festival and did some curls for a kiss. He met one girl that couldn’t believe her luck that they kissed, but little does she know he was ready to go to a porta potty and get down anytime.

THE QUIZ THEY MENTION
Quotes:
- “I tended to outsource the things that most people would do online.”
- “Girls like it when a dude takes command.”
- “In order to be a good wingman, your boy needs to go to bat for you.”
- “When you can do that move where you lift a girl over your head, you see some change, man.”
Today we are joined by two smokin’ hot and talented girls! The great Marnie and Lauren join us from across the pond and thankfully they have never listened to our podcast before. We have fun with their accents, talk about British words that make no sense in America, and they give advice about how to pick up chicks online. They share some of the craziest dates they have gone on and read us some DMs that have slid in from out of nowhere.
Key Takeaways:
[2:48] Connor is really good at eating! Lauren fancies herself a great eater but she was surprised just how much Connor can wolf down.
[5:52] The ladies do a great job of their individual takes of reading The Adonyx Podcast intro.
[9:19] When Marnie isn’t competing in shows, she is in biomedical sciences and is all up in the world of PreMed for disease and pathology.
[14:19] Lauren started with fitness coaching then moved to create her Online Fitness Business School. She also runs an accelerated program that helps others build their business with a hands-on approach.
[15:22] Marnie was on the Fitness Cruise that Connor went on, and they were surprised at how many other influencers were there. Everyone had a great time and it was super fun to collab while on a boat and docked at beautiful locations.
[19:07] Yes, Harry Potter might run again for Prime Minister.
[19:30] Love (the movie) isn’t based on a true story, that they know of.
[23:09] The ladies feel that British girls tend to like guys that act more like gentlemen than American girls do. Marnie is single and ready to mingle, and can’t wait to move to the U.S. to start dating here.
[33:30] Pro tip: no prodding girls at the gym. Say hi, and don’t be a creep.
[34:12] The girls give some advice for hooking up via Instagram. Dos include: following, commenting and replying to stories. The Don’ts: spamming them, writing too often, or commenting on everything.
[36:28] Think of dating like a sales transaction, and the FaceTime is the initial sales call to put everyone at ease. The more you know you aren’t being catfished, the less likely you are to flaking.
[45:31] Be like Connor when you get catfished. Be nice, kind, but leave as soon as you can.
[53:27] You have to have the right balance between being sick and funny. The optimal pickup line is a little bit of both.

If you are in the fitness community, chances are you know who Austin Dunham is. He talks about his secret to his massive success on YouTube, how he is crushing the world calisthenics, and some serious YouTube drama over some claims of copying, clout chasing, and gains. He also talks about how he learns to do all his crazy moves and explains why calisthenics is so crucial to have as a skill set.
Key Takeaways:
[2:59] Connor spills the tea right off the bat about Cassady Campbell, where they are basically playing a game of prank chicken to see who will break first. He thinks Connor is apologizing, but really Connor is on to him and isn’t going to go down that easy.
[7:11] Austin was also on the fitness cruise, and even when he is having fun and on location at a beautiful place, he is still consistent about filming and releasing videos.
[12:02] Austin shares his side of some YouTube drama going down in his world right now between him and another influencer.
[15:59] In the video of Austin meeting Gabo of Saturno Movement, we see some back and forth that ended up kicking off some major drama.
[20:11] Imitation is a form of flattery, so as YouTubers, both Austin and Connor don’t freak out when they see others copying them, for the most part. As long as you are unique and totally yourself, you’ll have a niche of your own.
[22:49] When you make the news, that’s how you know you’ve probably screwed up, but also now you have clout.
[24:13] Connor made a lot of his initial gain just doing straight up calisthenics, and Austin started in September of 2014. He was a freshman at college as part of the ROTC program and came across calisthenics videos as he was looking to better his strength and physique. He dove deep into it and kickstarted his own YouTube channel.
[26:14] Calisthenics is progressive, and once you graduate from the basic moves you can always graduate to something more challenging and demanding. While weightlifting works in the limited range of motion, calisthenics deals with balance and coordination, and a whole bunch of other factors.
[31:04] Connor gives Austin some video location ideas for some crazy videos in the future. If he gets any hate, he will just blame it on Connor.

Connor sets sail on a cruise to the Bahamas with a bunch of other fitness influencers, and Brandon helps him get super shredded and lean fast. Bella joins the show to brainstorm video ideas for Connor while he is on the cruise, then the guys talk about what extra boosts help and which puts your body into overdrive.
Key Takeaways:
[1:31] Connor is psyched to go on a cruise to the Bahamas, where he will be joined with a bunch of other fitness stars and influencers. Brandon isn’t able to go because someone needs to actually work on business and make some money.
[3:44] Connor remembers his past cruises fondly. The first time he ever ‘grinded’ with a girl was on a cruise, so who knows what will happen this time.
[4:32] Since there will be a bunch of other jacked fitness celebrities on the boat, Connor needs to get lean super fast. His strategy is to start eating 2,000 calories a day, which will put him in over 1000 calorie deficit. He will skip carb days until after the cruise, but don’t worry as the photos of his carb day meals won’t go away forever.
[16:58] Brandon gives his protocol to Connor in order to get lean and shredded super fast: 10,000 steps of cardio daily, either cryo or an ice bath twice a day, and eating a super lean protein modified fast. He also recommends for a situation like this to take ephedra and exogenous ketones, which will quickly burn muscle mass, up oxidation, and curb Connor’s appetite.
[23:54] Jillian Michaels went in on keto, which seems like a marketing move to us. If we had to guess, it seems like there is an anti-keto book coming.
[28:34] Once Brandon learned to dial in his diet, he saw it was way easier to get and stay lean.
[33:03] To use an analogy of our body being like a car, adaptogens help us take our foot off the brake, while Adderall puts our foot on the gas. Adderall has some pretty gnarly side effects, tolerance builds to it fast, and it has a really intense withdrawal.

Terminator 2 Week
It’s a fiery one this week. We breakdown the back story and current update between Kinobody and Jon Skywalker Instagram DM fight, then Connor remembers a time that Greg met someone he hooked up with back in the day. Then, we talk about some new Instagram features, why you should list your videos on YouTube and how Connor ‘10X’ed a girl Instagram’s account.
Key Takeaways:
[1:41] We talk about the spicy drama going down between Kinobody (Greg O'Gallagher) and Jon Skywalker that all went down in some Instagram DM’s and stories.
[12:43] When you run a sale when others aren’t and when it has a purpose, it does much better than the average sale.
[15:16] Connor would love to collab with Jon’s ex, Sabyr. Go check out her page here and let her know you would love to see her appear in one of his videos.
[18:26] Connor tells another story about Greg, where he met a girl at a frat party in Boulder Colorado who Connor had hooked up with previously. She spoke highly of the encounter, so that’s cool.
[21:18] The new Adonyx Clothing is fly. Photoshoot coming soon.
[22:10] Connor takes one of his video girls, Alexia, from 2K followers on Instagram to 23.5K from a video appearance.
[25:01] Instagram is rolling out a new feature where you can answer Q&A in your Live.
[29:16] Cassady, what’s up with deleting all the old Who’s Hotter videos?
[29:47] Brandon has a theory that having unlisted videos hurts your overall algorithm.
[37:40] Brandon is going to reach out to Greg and see if he will come on the show, so be on the lookout for that.

- “There’s only one person that I really wish failure upon.”
The guys reveal the Hybrid Physique Program, a completely new style of training and dieting that worked to completely revamp Connor’s metabolism and allowed him to gain back some muscle. It involves the most fun diet and efficient Connor has ever tried, and a training program that gets crazy results. Then, Brandon talks about his love of wearing suits, drama in the YouTube fitness community, and what jobs they would want they would want for their imaginary kids.
Key Takeaways:
[:56] Adonyx Clothing is lit and will have you looking smooth and snappy. Warning: you may have females (girls or dogs) running after you due to the fact you look so good.
[6:01] The Hybrid Physique Program gives you everything you need to build muscle, lose fat, and increase your energy and confidence, without having to give up all your favorite foods. Connor developed it after he got such great results implementing a diet and training program that kept him perfectly lean but revamped his metabolism and helped him put on muscle.
[7:43] The intermittent ketogenic refeed diet involves two high-carb days, with the rest being low-carb and low calorie plus an appetite suppression system as a bonus.
[8:22] The training program is a unique mix of working out chest and triceps, and a ‘pull’ day, plus fitting in legs. The high volume and frequency get insane results.
[11:04] When you are at a shortage of food and your body doesn’t want to burn a lot of calories, you can lose gains.
[15:16] You can check out Connor shirtless getting groped on 6th street on SimpleSexyStupid’s latest video, here. Don’t worry though, he was literally asking for it.
[25:19] One of the reasons Connor’s videos do so well is because word gets around at colleges and his videos go viral on campus. Brandon suggests a college tour starting at the biggest party schools, so Trillsteen, get on it.

Quotes:

- “Connor, post a picture of yourself wearing a suit on your Instagram and the Internet would explode. And most of your fans are guys too.”
- “Suits are cheap, but they look fly because I’m in great shape.”
- “You can’t just go up to girls and hip thrust them. You need a strategy behind it.”
- “I always think there’s no way girls are going to do this. And then they do.”
The guys play a game today, where they ask each other questions that are incriminating, embarrassing, and downright exposing. Some of the questions they have to answer include: how many people Connor slept with this year, what YouTubers they are currently ignoring, Brandon’s truth about what really sucks about keto, and the biggest loser with over 500,000 subscribers in the fitness community.
Key Takeaways:
[2:34] Q: How many women has Connor slept with this year?
A: Connor recently went back and tried to think of every person, which almost made his brain explode. This year, he is going with 18.
[5:18] Q: Why didn’t Brandon box Gregory O'Gallagher when everyone wanted him to?
A: The Hurricane in Florida put everything in perspective, and Greg just really didn’t want to do it after that. Greg is cool though, so you never know.
[9:30] Q: Connor, out of the people you have ‘collabed’ with on YouTube, who do you hate the most?
A: Connor likes everyone he has collabed with, but if he had to name one it would probably be the one and only Eric Kanevsky. And, right after this episode, Connor is on his way to collab with him again on a video where they do some shirtless tricks, and probably Eric will take off his pants at some point.
[12:57] Q: Brandon, what’s the worst part of the keto diet?
A: Besides the vegans, Brandon says it’s probably that feeling when you know you need to eat but you aren’t hungry.
[16:27] Q: Connor, Have you ever blown off a YouTuber that wanted to collab?
A: No one he’s blowing off, but he is taking a long time to get back with ViktorCrazy, just because he’s thinking of video ideas.
[19:15] Q: Brandon! Out of everyone in the office right now, who is the biggest p*ssy?
A: Brandon is pleading the fifth on this one.
[20:40] Q: What YouTuber does Connor think is the most overhyped?
A: long pause… Guzman. Don’t get him wrong, he’s super cool and putting in a lot of work; he’s a fantastic business person and the guys really respect him.
[24:41] Q: Out of the fitness YouTubers that Brandon has met in person, who is his least favorite?
A: Brandon got the “Seid” eye when trying to take a pic, so that would probably be his choice.
[29:21] Q: Connor, out of all the YouTube channels that have over 500,000 subs, and aren’t a hater channel, pick one loser.
A: If you have over 500,000 you probably aren’t a loser. But out of the popular losers, Connor would most likely pick Mike Chang from Six Pack Shortcuts because he’s not a loser, but Mike just quit the game so it’s a safe choice.
[35:39] Q: Brandon, what’s your least favorite video of Connor’s?
A: By far, the part where Connor dances. He has no clue what is going on, and the whole video makes no sense.
[37:33] Q: Connor. Show us your last 5 Google Searches now.
A: Slack, Gmail, Zoom, YouTube, and other super boring stuff. (Connor had just cleared his search history to “clear space.”

Quotes:
- “I’m the type of guy that hasn’t kept track of my ‘number.’”
- “The worst part of the keto diet is all the vegans.”
- “Basically, I’m just trying you get you to call a nice guy a dweeb.”
- “I browse on incognito. All the time.”
- “I should tone it down online because too many people think I’m Catfishing them.”
Connor has posted a photo of him and a couple dudes, and the internet (and Brandon) definitely have something to say about it. The guys dissect the photo and break down exactly why it was so controversial. Then on a completely unrelated note, Connor talks about why it hurts to swallow, and the guys talk about fasting, ketosis and why they leave their girlfriends off social media.
Key Takeaways:
[4:34] The news of NFL player getting kicked off his team brings up Brandon’s desire for equal opportunities up. He feels everyone should have the right to punch and get punched equally.
[10:02] Connor has gotten grabbed a ton by both women and men on 6th Street. While he was definitely asking for it from at least the women, if the roles were reversed there would be way larger consequences.
[12:25] Connor reads just a few of the 300+ comments from a photo where he is standing really close to a bunch of other dudes.
[20:21] Connor thought about the deleting the photo, but it got even more likes than him alone or with a hot girl.
[23:49] After time in the spotlight, both Connor and Brandon have trained themselves to not let any troll comments or negative words get to them at all. Trolls are usually sad and lonely people, and most times they are even fans of the person but just want attention.
[30:12] Back to the Connor photo! It would have seemed a little less homoerotic if it was a video, they weren’t standing so close together, their faces weren’t so soft and their hands weren’t positioned as though they were touching each other.
[34:20] One of the many reasons both Connor and Brandon know they aren’t gay is because they are messy, wear the same things over and over and are dirty.
[43:39] Connor is thinking about doing a 72-hour fast to boost his immunity and kill off some old cells (autophagy). Your cells regenerate more quickly as you fast, and this may help his low-level cold or allergies.
[47:48] Connor and Brandon both feel great when they are in ketosis, and Brandon tells Connor to try exogenous ketones.

Connor holds it down by himself today with a Q&A from his Instagram stories. He got hundreds of questions and picks some fun ones including how to build triceps, the real scoop on protein powder, what to do when you are skinny fat, and how to strike the perfect pose.
Key Takeaways:
[2:03] Q: How do I build triceps like you? How big are your arms?
A: Connor’s arms are only about 16 inches, but his super high tricep insertions make them look even larger. A lot of it is genetics, but his tricep routine is basically two pushing exercises — chest press and bench press, one tricep isolation exercise — the rope pulldowns, and that’s pretty much it. If you really want to build up your tricep, Connor recommends doing one exercise where you are hitting the lower head of the tricep (pushdowns), and one where you are hitting the upper head (skull crushers).
[4:12] Q: How many scoops of protein powder do you take per day?
A: You do not need to take protein powder to make gains. Sometimes Connor does take it, but usually, it’s just out of convenience. On average, probably .2 to .5 which is about one scoop about twice a week. Instead, try focusing on your total protein intake and total calories.
[5:22] Q: Are steroids necessary to compete in Mr. Olympia? And if yes, please tell when to start taking it.
A: Absolutely yes. Be sure to do your research and decide if that is the route you really want to go, and know that every person on stage is on steroids.
[8:31] Q: How long have you been training for?
A: Connor started in calisthenics at the early age of 11, and weight training at 13 years old. If you are just starting out, be patient and consistent.
[10:18] Q: How tall is Connor?
A: Connor is 6’2, and is 207 lbs right now. Don’t Google search for this info, because it’s all screwed up and Connor gets confused with Connor Murphy of the Chicago Blackhawks. Message Connor on Instagram if you know how he can make his own Wikipedia page!
[12:47] Q: How many hours per week do you spend in the gym?
A: Connor works out 6 days a week, and takes one rest day. He gets workouts done so much faster when he leaves his phone out of the workout room. Workouts take 30-40 minutes on average, and it’s not as much time per day as people typically think.
[16:17] Be sure to Get on the VIP list for Connor’s brand new Hybrid Physique program: bit.ly/Lean-Phuck
[16:23] Q: When are you going to have a kiss prank with a real kiss? Not just the chocolates, LOL!
A: It feels douchey and cocky! But...that doesn’t mean Connor won’t show up kissing a girl in someone else’s video.
[20:32] Q: How do you know how to strike the perfect pose?
A: A ton of practice. Literally, stand in the mirror and practice every day, and you will get to know what your best angles are.
[21:34] Q: If you are skinny fat, should you shred first or bulk first?
A: Absolutely shred first. If you start bulking, you will be above the healthy 18-25% body fat. You want to cut down to 8-10%, and then bulk from there.
[22:23] Q: Are you on Finasteride?
A: Finasteride, also known as Propecia, is probably the best drug for preventing hair loss. The problem is the side effects, as it’s messing with hormones, and Connor noticed less muscle tone and more body fat. So, he stopped taking it but just started doing some stem cell treatments for hair growth and retention, so he will keep us updated with how it goes.

Ep #041: “Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow”
Quotes:
“You do not need to take protein powder to make gains.”
“Winning a freaking physique show just doesn’t seem like that big of a reward to me.”
“You make about 70% of the gains in just one year.”
“It’s so worth finding 30 minutes out of your day to exercise.”
“It’s okay to hit a body part every day, you just have to hit it less to recover.”
“There’s a reason why I don’t show myself kissing a girl in the video.”
Brandon takes a stand against the Catholic Church and religion as a construct in general. Amen. Then, the guys talk about the weird laws regarding what age young people can sleep with their teachers, why they feel like freaking out at EDM festivals, and who they think is actually cool vs. who is trying too hard.
Key Takeaways:
[1:41] We dive right into some hot Genghis Khan talk, and take what happened in his life into a logical perspective for what was normal and accepted back then. If we judge Genghis, we’d better judge our forefathers.
[7:21] Hey Catholic Church, stop doing child molestation. We know it’s not everyone, but so many of them do it, and it’s a problem.
[8:47] The age-old Catholic chicken and the egg question: does the job bring pedophiles to it, or does the job breed pedophiles?
[14:51] Adonyx pro-tip: If you have sex in public, you can be labeled a sex offender, as you are committing a sex crime. So, don’t do that or at least don’t get caught.
[19:23] If you have to try to be cool, then you aren’t cool.
[20:56] Brandon tells his “who has a bigger bicep” story about Jeff Seid at Olympia Man.
[27:22] Be on the lookout for Connor’s upcoming Vlog video with Vitaly.

Connor is getting blackmailed for parts of a video he never released, so today he shares the real story with the Adonyx family. Then, the guys talk about The Rock’s transformation and if we think he is on steroids, and why we just vote for the Presidents we think will fight, or at least be good starring in a movie.
Key Takeaways:
[2:31] Brandon has never heard of ASMR videos. Be sure to tag him in your favorite ones, along with some mukbangs that you like.
[5:30] Hey Bread Face girl, hit Connor up for a collab? He’ll do some face smushing with you and a dinner roll or something on a carb day.
[5:59] Someone is commenting on Cassady’s videos that he has proof of Connor faking a video reaction and is threatening to expose him if Connor doesn’t DM him.
[7:24] Connor explains the real truth behind his video, and why he did hire actresses and friends originally but ended up using only real reactions.
[13:26] Real truth: this whole internet career is just a strategy for Connor to become POTUS one day or possibly VP for The Rock.
[15:29] Brandon shares the answers he got when he asked around on why people voted for Trump. It’s clear that Americans vote for whoever they feel will win in a fight.
[27:52] The Rock is everyone’s hero, especially Brandon’s, and we talk about his body fat percentages compared with Arnold’s.

This week, we welcome muscle building expert and guru and for real rocket scientist Jason Maxwell. We bust some of the biggest myths in fitness today, talk about how Jason gets the high-quality results for himself and his clients, and give the real info on how to get and stay lean and build muscle.
Key Takeaways:
[3:29] Jason didn’t need to hook up with a teacher in school, he is smart and actually got A’s on his own.
[5:11] He’s not kidding … Jason Maxwell is really a rocket scientist. Despite urging from his family and teachers to go more into education and science, Jason went down the fitness path and blasted off from there.
[13:55] Jason fasts until 7 p.m., and only eats one meal a day. When he is cutting, he finds it spikes his lectin levels and keeps him satisfied and less hungry the next day.
[17:18] Research shows the protein you need to get is 0.82 grams per pound, rather than 1 gram per pound.
[20:27] Connor has a theory that when you eat one meal a day, you need more protein than when you spread your meals around.
[23:02] Have a big test the next day? The guys explain why you may want to choose a handful of beets over a giant stack of pancakes.
[26:42] Connor has started taking Cialis and is noticing an improvement in his physique.
[31:25] Real news: to tone, you must eat in a caloric deficit. To build muscle, you need to be doing heavy weights or high reps, or heavy weights and low reps.
[34:37] If you train with resistance and high-intensity interval training, you will lose fat on that body part. In general, your arms are much leaner than your torso because there is more blood flow to that area.
[37:02] When your fat cells break down into fatty acids, they will turn back into fat cells again unless you are in caloric deficit.
[41:26] Connor ponders selling his sperm, getting a vasectomy and upselling what he offers to the ladies of Instagram.
[46:28] Instagram girls, we know how you are getting on those yachts in Dubai, and it ain’t through FitTea.
[52:50] We talk about the advantage of the pay gap in men vs. women, and the differences between genders in work, dating and just even out in the public.

Quotes:
“In my experience, every guy that has a girlfriend has one because the girl asked, “where do you see us?” He wasn’t looking for a girlfriend.”
“Most guys get a girlfriend because the girl gives them an ultimatum.”
“Most of my fans wonder why I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Girls like to tame a wild stallion and make them a farm horse.”
“I don’t cry about yesterday, yesterday don’t pay.”
This week we are joined by a dude that knows more about dating than most people on this planet, Derek from Real Social Dynamics. He teaches people how to get the dating life they want and takes them out in the “field” to practice. Today he shares the in-house secrets of this skill set, how he got into the pickup world, what really makes up good game, approach anxiety, why he hates corny lines, and ways for all of us to not be such weirdos with hot chicks.
Key Takeaways:
[2:41] Derek has a business background, and RSD has been more of a hobby than his main source of income. He gets to travel around the world, hang out with cool dudes and help them get a fantastic dating and sex life.
[8:36] The fundamentals of pickup are similar to having good form at the gym. You have to build up to good results and put in the reps and sets.
[9:22] The three core questions a guy has to answer first in order to know his true identity:
- What kind of man am I?
- What kind of life do I want to live?
- What kind of companions would be ideal for that life?
[12:28] When a girl feels a lack of certainty or decisiveness, it can also come off as creepy and insecure.
[17:28] Resourcefulness, reproductive value, and having fun are at the top of what girls look for, rather than always money or a job title. It helps to be ballin’ out of control and have a boat and a huge house, but it’s not necessary.
[20:57] Derek always recommends being direct and honest when communicating interest with a girl. If you respect yourself and your time, it’s best to let someone know when you like them from the beginning and invite them to do something cool that you are already doing.
[27:53] It’s normal to get stuck in your head and have anxiety approaching women. The more you practice doing it the right way and train yourself to stay curious and open-minded, the easier it is to take action.
[31:22] Using the same old-school routines and lines to pick up girls didn’t work for Derek, and he found it to be incongruent with the way he was living the rest of his life.
[33:59] Instead of faking that you are a certain way, really become that cool, resourceful, and successful guy.
[46:09] If you want the optimal life, it’s hard work and dedication but it’s worth it.
[49:29] Whatever your goal is, find the people that are doing the best job at it and make them your mentor or coach.
[54:13] Brandon’s tips for being cool and not a loser: focus on what you love, what you are good at, and what you can do to make money. Some will overlap in the circle, some will stay separate but still bring you enjoyment.
[59:37] Derek’s not one to brag, but his courses are constantly sold out all over the world. People love his practical and common sense teachings mixed with high value and long-term education.
[67:04] Humans are going to act in their own self-interest. Whoever you are trying to attract, whether it’s in love or business, make it so that hanging with you is a benefit to them.

Connor is officially in the mid-20’s, and Brandon is here to guide him through this serious change of life. Then, it’s all about the best Instagram advice for capturing your shredded physique. We talk the best lighting, capturing your best angles, setting up your page to attract girls, show value in business, and the pro insider tools that are the next best thing to actually getting ripped. Break out the coconut oil, and dive right in.
Key Takeaways:
[7:05] We have some huge plans for Adonyx Clothing. We are switching manufacturers and making things better than ever, so stay tuned.
[11:12] When taking an Instagram fitness shot, make sure the lighting is key. We like the lighting best when it is overcast, and you’ll look way more shredded than with the sun directly in your face. The tanner you are, the more you can get away with more intense lighting.
[13:33] We are looking for down lighting just about 30 degrees in front of us to highlight our physique. Lighting for a regular selfie is different than what is ideal for a picture that highlights how ripped you are.
[17:10] One of the best ways to make your physique instantly look better — put some oil on yourself. Brandon lubes himself up with just a little coconut oil before his video shoots, and we recommend the chest, arms, and abs as a start.
[19:31] Instead of taking a photo on your iPhone, try to take a video and grab your best screenshot. If you are going to use your phone, we’ve seen the best quality photos come from the Google Pixel 2.
[23:43] Get to know your body structure, and get familiar with the variations that highlight your best angles.
[26:52] Brandon reveals some never heard before secrets on his double bicep pose.
[28:37] You want your Instagram to be part of a theme, and not confusing to your followers or fans.
[29:42] Shirtless selfies are cool every now and then, but throw in a pic of yourself and your friends every now and then so it raises your value and shows that you have a life and are successful in business.
[32:40] When you are seen having fun and traveling with cool people, it shows people that you have value to give. It’s cool if you can make your picture you hanging on a boat with Will Smith, but if that’s not possible even just normal friends will work just fine.
[35:58] iPhones work great during the day in natural lighting, but if you are taking photos in the dark or at night you are going to have to look into another camera.
[37:42] Angles and lighting count with video too. A benefit of having an actual camera is you can see what you are filming, and we advise against using the selfie angle when vlogging.
[44:26] There’s nothing wrong with touching up photos, but it’s weird when you post something unrealistic and warp the way you look.

We return for the second part of Connor and Brandon’s infamous first meeting and first recording. Connor spills some YouTuber secrets, Brandon considers joining Christian Mingle and explains why he may be the first black man to be catfished.
Key Takeaways:
[1:53] Connor breaks down the money game on why a video over 10 minutes is worth it for the ads and the views.
[2:23] We try to guess how much Connor made this year alone from YouTube, but he only tells us it’s somewhere between $30K - $500K.
[9:17] Our fans follow the 80/20 rule of the male/female ratio. We’ll take it.
[11:40] Our juiciest DM’s seem to come from Tinder, rather than Instagram. Connor also may invest in the paid Tinder upgrade where you can change up your search according to geographic location even beyond a 30-mile radius.
[17:42] Connor pitches some ideas for Tinder upgrades. With over 1,000 matches on any given day, they should bring him in as a professional consultant.
[22:56] Brandon tells his catfish story. Never trust a big butt and a smile.
[25:48] People, make sure you consider advice before you take it, especially ours. Don’t be sensitive, crybabies or make us dumb our videos down!

This week, we take a trip down memory lane for a very special someone’s birthday. You’ll hear a recording of when Connor and Brandon FIRST MET, and it was a raw, interesting interview where little did we know it would turn into something epic like The Adonyx Podcast and all that we are doing together now. We talk about our curse of being too nice, bond over awkward moments in filming, and how we deal with fame. Can you feel our chemistry?
Key Takeaways:
[1:35] Connor shares how he got into the online fitness community to get respect from both men and women.
[4:29] Brandon, how are you doing on your list of people you want to fight if you see them in person?
[6:33] The guys bond over the formulas they use for their videos to go viral, the reactions and the confidence it gives them.
[8:56] Yes, it was awkward at first when Connor was filming videos with random girls, but now it feels comfortable and everyone has fun.
[13:40] Our creepiest messages on Instagram? From dudes.
[15:28] The guys still need to get verified on Instagram. Keep looking for that blue check. Brandon woke up one day and saw he was verified on Facebook, but it’s harder to crack the code on Instagram.
[18:17] Famous in college? It’s not as glamorous as you think. Not as many people come up to Connor, so it’s not like he is walking through the cafeteria signing autographs for the social justice warriors.
[21:48] Connor shares a story of having to pay $1000 for a broken peephole.
[26:33] We detail how we research our videos and plan them out, find people to be in our videos and then edit them, and it’s tougher than you may think. Especially for prank videos.
[32:04] Don’t expect Connor-like results from your first YouTube video. It takes time, a lot of hard work and the ability to be cool with getting 30 views on your first 50 videos. The key is to pick videos that will get you out there, with the best sound and visual quality.

This week, we plan for our upcoming trip to Vegas for Olympia, give some YouTube secrets and hacks for manual review and monetization, tell you what really happens when girls see Connor getting his abs licked by other girls, and give our response to being called out for faking pranks.
Key Takeaways:
[2:26] Brandon and Connor give their thoughts on the Vegas club scene before their upcoming trip for Olympia Man. Don’t expect Brandon to be spending his time standing in the VIP line at any of the nightclubs, but you can count on the guys to be at the hotel buffet throwing down some all-you-can-eat crab legs and meat.
[9:14] Calorie cycling has helped Connor stay lean and put on muscle while feeling full and satiated.
[12:02] Connor has a new camera, and he and Brandon are working hard to put together the Lean-Phuck program to make it foolproof for those who follow it. It includes the unique diet and training Connor has been doing the past few months to stay Lean as Phuck. There will be a supplement guide and regimen laid out in Connor’s Lean Bulking program, so make sure you sign up on the VIP list.
[16:05] Shout out to Cassady Campbell for selling Connor his new camera. Now Connor can capture all the moments of him trolling girls just for fun.
[17:02] We give some YouTube hacks to try when you are planning to post something controversial and not family friendly. The thumbnail matters, along with where you place the suggestive content when it’s going up for manual review.
[25:16] Social proof shows you have abundance and when girls can sense that it makes them want you even more.
[27:15] We give an update on Kenny K.O., and why you shouldn’t believe every Expose video you see on the internet.
[37:23] We gotta get in the business of Twitch streaming. Some people are making big money just live streaming their lives.
[41:23] Casting agents now look at your social media numbers as another factor when you are auditioning for a part.
[42:37] We plan out Trill$teen’s YouTube career as a comedy commentator on pop culture.

You love them, so we do them! It’s a special Q&A episode with Connor and special guest Trill$steen! Connor answers all your questions, including how to pose, if he indeed is Based Zeus, why you shouldn’t rely on motivation, and his most awkward, cringe-worthy moments while filming. He also talks about why The Adonyx Coaching system was created, and why his new program Lean Phuck is like nothing else out there now.
Key Takeaways:
[1:09] One of Connor’s biggest inspirations for developing his own signature poses was Jeff Seid. There are specific poses for bodybuilding and others for physique and aesthetic. Comment on Connor’s Instagram which of his poses you like the best.
[4:23] Calling all great camera people! Connor is looking for someone to work with him here and there. Requirements are to be really good at your job, be cool, don’t act like a total freak around all the girls you will be meeting, and know and support his content.

[8:05] No, Connor is not Based Zeus, but he may be making a cameo in an upcoming video. We also hope that Zeus shows the not-so-family-friendly version.
[10:12] It takes time to make a substantial amount of gains. Take your time, enjoy the process and don’t rush things too fast.
[14:12] Neither Connor or Trill think the Logan Paul vs. KSI fight was staged. It did inspire Connor that a YouTuber could create such a massive event, so who knows, maybe you will see an Adonyx boxing match one day.
[16:07] Motivation comes and goes, but discipline is really what gets you dedicated through the long haul.
[18:42] Connor explains why you may be sore, and why it doesn’t have to correlate with muscle growth. If you go searching for the sore feeling, you may overtrain and do more than you need to.
[20:09] Connor shares his two most cringey moments while filming, both of them having to do with angry feminists.
[24:09] Training and diet is 95% of making gains, but supplements definitely help. Rebellion, of course, is one of Connor’s go-to’s before workout and as an alternative to alcohol before going out. There will be a supplement guide in Connor’s Lean Bulking program, so make sure you sign up on the VIP list.
[31:27] The main way to increase benching is… you guessed it — more benching. Also, recovery time, supersets and some other tips that Connor shares.
[34:25] Feeling lazy but want to be a master of your physique? Adonyx Coaching tells exactly what you need, and does the work for you. Both the Adonyx method and Connor’s Lean Bulking program are one of a kind, and unique from everything else out there now.
[37:01] How did Connor blow up? It wasn’t all by chance. From the title, the thumbnail and the content, Connor has created a whole concept designed specifically to go viral. When all else fails, take your shirt off.
[42:51] Connor is going to make a deal — once we hit 1,000 5-star reviews on iTunes, he will speed up the process on the Omegle videos.

In today’s episode, we are going to show you the secrets behind our glowing skin, perfect lectin levels, and high metabolism. Connor unveils his new program, the best carb cycling program out there, Lean Phuck and how you can become a VIP.
Key Takeaways:
[2:36] Connor just shot a video at San Diego State and was joined by Cassady Campbell and his new beard. Stay tuned for his prank video soon.
[5:29] Connor explains why his skin looks good. Forget the new camera, it’s really all about Vitamin D, tanning and a cyclical keto diet.
[8:25] The guys explain why the cyclical keto diet keeps metabolism high, fat burning and lectin levels lower. They also have created the perfect course for lean bulking to know how often to help you build muscle without putting on fat, Lean Phuck.
[13:05] Let’s get Connor Verified! If a bunch of clowns have the blue check next to their name, Connor should too.

It’s an interesting episode, especially for our inside Adonyx family! We talk about who’s sliding into Brandon’s DMs, our friend Cassady Campbell gets pranked, and we preview our upcoming plans for the Olympia event in Vegas later this month.
Key Takeaways:
[:41] Connor slides into a young lady and that young lady slides into Brandon’s DMs.
[4:38] The prankster, Cassady Campbell, got pranked by longtime nemesis Eric Kanevsky. We feel bad but he handled it well and they may even squash the beef one day.
[11:15] Olympia is coming up. If you want to come up to the event and say hi, it’s September 13-15 in Las Vegas. We would love for some of the Adonyx family to roll through and hang.
[13:29] There are many reasons to take Viagra, and bodybuilding and fitness may be one of them. Stay tuned for us to try more, report back to you guys and maybe even get a Viagra sponsorship.

It’s back-to-school time, and in the Adonyx world that doesn’t mean sitting in your dorm room alone, scrolling on your computer eating day-old Chinese leftovers. Today, we give you the BEST tips for doing school right. We talk about making gains, the best sleep habits, how to not be a total loser with girls, productivity tips and how to eat. Make sure you like, comment, and subscribe to everything we do.
Key Takeaways:
[1:18] Connor’s recent vlog featuring a workout session with actress Caylee Cowan is so far his most viral vlog ever, from the start. Hopefully, by the time you read this, it will still be monetized.
[8:23] Connor recounts a crazy fight on the Vegas strip, including an Ellen Degeneres look-alike cop and Cassady getting taken away in handcuffs.
[13:15] When Brandon was graduating from college in 2004, Connor was just finishing up 3rd grade.
[13:41] The number one tip Connor has for memory retention, productivity and just feeling good in school: take naps. Obviously, you are going to be busy and have to pull some nighters, but making sure you get enough sleep is crucial. Try to make your naps an hour and a half to get a full REM cycle.
[17:24] It’s fine that you want to watch Connor and Brandon’s videos before sleep, but just an hour before you go to bed put your phone on night mode, or save the Instagram stalking for during the afternoon. The hour before sleep is a great time to study.
[19:28] Brandon takes one or two 20 minute naps a day, and this helps his body run perfectly after only getting 4-5 hours of straight sleep a night. Look up “polyphasic sleeping patterns” and see if that may be a fit for you.
[26:43] What gets us even more hyped than alcohol or coffee? Rebellion! It helps us merge ideas between God and man, or at least is good to take before a party to amp up. Pro Tip: Take it while you write down your goals in the morning, and you will be unstoppable.
[29:06] College is one of the best times and we want you to take advantage of how many cool people you have around you. If you are shy, start small and introduce yourself to 5 people a day — it can be a hot chick, a janitor, the lunch server, a campus cop, etc. Just say hi, say something nice to them and you will get less awkward over time. Be as active as you can in classes, aka don’t be the weird person that sits alone in the back.
[36:51] If you want to maintain your eating in college you have to, but it takes commitment and NO excuses. Eat stuff that is easy to track. Don’t apologize for having a scale out or carting around your can of sardines, make it a talking point.
[41:25] When they were back in school, Brandon trained first thing in the morning, and Connor trained at night. Whatever time works best for your schedule is best.

This week is all about getting the most out of your workouts and fitness routines. We cover how much recovery time you actually need, if you really need to be sore to make gains, some myths on stretching, the biggest cause of injuries, and if tracking calories matters. If all this seems complicated to you, listen in and also check out our Adonyx Coaching site.
Key Takeaways:
[1:36] We talk all about DOMS, or Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, and if it’s correlated with muscle growth.
Brandon has been experimenting with doing full body workouts every day, and Connor is systematically working on a new eating and workout plan for maximum fat burning and muscle growth. We both experience soreness for about 2-3 workout periods when we switch it up and try something new, but intentionally don’t constantly change up the routine.
[12:10] Don’t chase the soreness, focus on increasing weight, and progressive overload. If you are sore, that shouldn’t detract from working out that same muscle, and we recommend working it out even lightly.
[17:39] You want to stretch after or during you are warmed up, not before.
[18:47] The biggest cause of injury is bad form and ego lifting. Warming up to get the blood flowing, and staying natural with good form is imperative if you want to stay injury-free. If you are bodybuilding, there is no point in going below 6 or 8 reps. Brandon suggests 10 sets of 3 if you are looking to put on some mass.
[28:50] Brandon calls ripped significant muscle with no body fat. Tracking calories helps you make sure you are eating enough to bulk. Connor didn’t track until he was about 20 years old and feels it helped take him to the next level in his progress and physique. Brandon got inspired to track by reading “Muscle for Life” and uses it as a way to study his growth and success in fitness.
[40:41] It’s okay to be a little obsessive about things you want to be great at. Being elite takes a focus and dedication that sometimes makes people a little uncomfortable and maybe guilty that they aren’t living on the same level of high-intensity sacrifice.

This week we recap our past college “jobs” which of course are producing Fake IDs and copies of dorm keys. Then we talk about Connor’s latest Vlog featuring an actress friend, outsourcing Tinder messages, how to be the perfect wingman, and we tease the idea of some possible exclusive content just for our Adonyx family.
Key Takeaways:
[1:11] Be sure to check out Connor’s latest Vlog, where he got in the most “interesting workout you will ever see” with a new friend and actress Caylee Cowan.
[6:02] Connor finds out he is for sure not allowed in any Planet Fitness. Brandon toys around with the idea of bringing back his fake ID production business and relives the glory days of being the go-to ID producer on campus.
[13:10] Connor gives an extra plug to @CayleeCowan and urges The Adonyx Family to put in a good word for Connor on her page.
[14:25] Trill$steen steps up to the plate and handles some of Connor’s Tinder messages, and the rest of the guys intensely step up to the plate as Connor’s wingmen.
[27:47] Connor spills some exclusive content of a time a girl went from playing hard to get with a bad attitude to shoving her tongue down his throat, just based on his YouTube subscriber count.
[35:55] Go visit Brandon’s Instagram post of him and Connor shirtless, and “like” it if Brandon is in better shape, or comment if you think Connor wins.

This week we jump right into it and spill everything to the Adonyx family involving Connor’s threesome story, which includes a rare scenario of Tinder matches and Missouri lovin’. Then, the guys talk about the power of the Tinder Cheat Code and Adonyx Coaching to fully give you everything you need to succeed in life.
Key Takeaways:
[1:15] The guys recap the most recent episode with ViktorCrazy and how they came to meet up with him in the first place.
[4:30] Connor shares his threesome story! It was a warm and lonely summer night in Missouri and an innocent swim and Snapchat video led to so much more.
[15:05] Connor certainly redeemed himself from being so shy and anxious around women during his high school years. It was a good experience to get him out of his comfort zone and everyone left a happy customer.
[22:01] We are all living vicariously through Connor, except for those who have Tinder Cheat Code. The power of the manual has all the dating and hooking up answers.
[23:15] Once you have your Tinder game all set up, head on over to Adonyx Coaching to get the body you want.

This is Why He’s Called Viktor Crazy
Adonyx Coaching
Tinder Cheat Code
Quotes:
“I kinda wish I was bisexual. I would have twice as many options.”
“Any gym in America, the most ripped guy is the most gay guy. 100%.”
This week we are joined by the wild, crazy, and outrageous prankster Viktor Crazy, aka Viktor Karasev. Viktor’s shares his top places to film his pranks, breaks down some of his most famous and outrageous pranks that have gotten millions of views, how he gets the confidence and mindset to put himself out there with some pretty outrageous stunts, where you can find the hottest girls in the world and then actually get them to talk to you, and his workout plan and diet tips.
Key Takeaways:
[2:35] Viktor shares how he got into YouTube and doing his crazy pranks, and what the media scene is like from Russia. Much like Connor, he wanted to do break into the YouTube world and make a splash.
[4:44] Connor’s universe exploded when he learns that Niga is not a real nightclub.
[9:10] If you are a dude in the United States struggling for a date, you may want to visit to Russia. Viktor and Connor talk about the differences between Russia and Latin American countries and how much easier it is to meet interested girls.
[11:40] Viktor loves doing crazy stuff and doesn’t really feel nervous before or during any of his pranks. YouTube has allowed him to make money, travel the world and do what he loves.
[17:40] Viktor shares some of his most daring must watch pranks where he involved the police, local TV and the news, including one where his cameraman ended up arrested.
[19:09] How does Viktor get away with asking girls to show their boobs for fake money? He tells this, and why he has millions of haters in Spain and Thailand.
[21:57] YouTube has been getting stricter, and Viktor is noticing a huge increase in the videos that get demonetized. This makes him feel like someone takes his balls and goes BAM.
[24:52] Viktor has been a professional athlete and involved in competing since the early age of 11. He is one of the best roller skiers in the world. Roller skiing is an off-snow equivalent to cross-country skiing. Roller skis have wheels on their ends and are used on a hard surface, to emulate cross-country skiing.
[28:08] Viktor is much like Connor where he would rather get his cardio in through being active throughout the day. He also eats a very clean diet and stays away from alcohol and processed food.
[31:39] Viktor shares some fun games and role play ideas to break the ice and clubs, meet some girls and not need alcohol as a social lubricant.
[34:49] Viktor explains how he managed so many women from so many countries over the past several years, and Connor ponders seriously finding a new international location.
[46:43] As much as influence and celebrity status is great, Viktor loves the qualities of honesty and bravery way more.

The guys return from New York to recap their three-day event, and then jump right into a huge topic in the bodybuilding and YouTube community — Connor’s hair loss. You guys have commented, and Connor responds in full honesty and spills the secrets deep from within his hairline. He and Brandon talk about why exactly some people lose their hair and others don’t, ways to save hair that still exists, how drugs and bodybuilding affects hormones and therefore hair loss, Brandon also weighs in on what it’s like to be bald and beautiful, and they both admit some extreme and crazy hair regrowth methods that didn’t work.
Key Takeaways:
[1:03] The guys are back from their three-day event in New York, where Brandon heard from a third party that Connor gave an amazing talk. Even while he was in New York, Connor was still thinking about his fans, so he stayed up late to work on Part 1 of his Hawaii Vlog.
[5:33] Despite YouTube commenters wanting to be the one to break it to Connor that his hairline is receding, he does already know.
[6:35] Connor breaks down how hair loss happens, both genetically, and with how your body reacts to levels of DHT and testosterone.
[7:33] 85% of men are going to experience hair loss.
[11:15] Brandon looked into multiple solutions for hair loss, then came to the conclusion that he should just shave his head. He likes the look and is even now a head shaving guru to other interested baldies.
[12:21] It’s a lot easier to save the hair you have if you start early.
[14:22] Connor lists off some of the things he has done or taken to save his existing hair and prevent further hair loss, and the side effects associated with them. They include Rogaine, a DHT blocking and anti-dandruff shampoo Nizoral, Propecia, Red Light Laser Treatment, Dermarolling.
[23:20] Big reveal — Connor got a hair transplant. He shares his story about the surgery and his results. Please make sure if you are looking into surgery, that you find a reputable place that has proven results of making it look natural. Hair transplant is not a one and done procedure, and if you get it done you still will need to take care of the hair you do have, or else you will be all business in the front and no party in the back.
[32:47] According to research at both Barry University and University of Pennsylvania, a high percentage of women find bald men to be smart, dominant, and sexier. Bald men are perceived as more alpha, and maybe it’s something Connor should try out to shed his super nice guy image.
[35:41] Brandon shaves his head with a Mach 3 razor every morning and is proud to be in the badass celebrity bald man club.
[38:14] Be sure to spread this episode around to your favorite hater, so they can spend their own time and money making a video on Connor’s hair loss. It helps them make more money and is guaranteed to get them a solid number of new subscribers. Looking at you, Vegan Gains.

This week Connor is bringing back the very popular Q&A with the help of his faithful pal Trillsteen. Connor answers all kinds of questions including his pick for the healthiest meal of the day, some insane shoulder workouts, his caffeine intake, why Instagram models are flying to Hawaii, and if there is such a thing as too much exercise.
Key Takeaways:
[1:26] You are following Connor on Instagram, right? Don’t make it weird. Be sure to keep watching @ConnorMurphyOfficial so you can write your question for Connor to answer next.
[2:20] Healthiest meal of the day? It’s subjective depending on your dietary goals, but Connor lists some go to foods and
[6:45] Best shoulder workouts? Lateral raises with straight form and less weight than you think will get the job done for your shoulders and back. Connor explains pre-exhausting the shoulders if you are seeking to correct a lagging body part.
[10:41] What happened to Connor’s collab with YouTuber Bradley Martyn? Connor is going to hit him up and talk some ideas.
[12:40] How much caffeine does Connor have? Most days none, and he suggests if you do take it in any form, cycle off it for a few days and let your body adjust before you drown it in caffeine again. And if you are going to do it, Rebellion Pre-Workout is the way to go.
[16:28] Does Connor call girls after he takes their numbers? He doesn’t usually call girls from the shoots right after and separates business from pleasure, but definitely makes the most of his influencer and YouTube status, case in point a recent vacation where a beautiful Instagram model flew him out to Hawaii. Vlogs of the trip will be coming soon!
[22:20] How much work will it take to get from 18% body fat to 10% body fat? Connor boils it down to losing about 16 lbs. You want to be a decifict of about 500 calories every day, for about 3 months.
[26:03] Is there a thing as too much exercise? If you have high energy levels and are improving in the gym and feel okay, you’re probably not over training where it is hurting your gains. There is a chance you aren’t training efficiently, but most likely not doing any severe damage.
[29:01] Congrats Adonyx family! We just reached over 100,000 downloads. We couldn’t do it without you and we love you.

This week we are bringing our Top 4 hacks to get you ripped and shredded this summer, with actual scientific reasons behind them. Some are fancy, some you can do right at home, but they are all ways to get you burning more calories than you consume. We tap into the laws of thermodynamics, help you increase your growth hormones, and give you our behind-the-scenes hacks of what we do when we need to go into a caloric deficit fast. A few tips you have heard us talk about many times and some are newly adopted into the Adonyx way. Run yourself a hot bath, and let us help you get those “Instagram” abs.
Key Takeaways:
[1:36] Brandon is the Robin to Connor’s Batman.
[3:36] Tip #1: Incorporate more non-exercise activity thermogenesis, aka NEAT, into your life. Run ten miles if you want to, but we recommend focusing on burning calories throughout your day when you aren’t at the gym. Brandon tracks his steps and heart rate through his Apple Watch and tries to walk as much as he can.
[8:31] Tip #2: Get yourself in a sauna consistently for at least 15-20 minutes. Some of the many short-term benefits of hitting up a sauna include increased blood flow, cardiovascular health, reduced rate of glycogen depletion, muscle growth, increased red blood cell count. Add some Epsom salt to your hot bath to sweat out all the water weight.
[15:35] Tip #3: Chill, bro! Dip yourself in an ice bath, or get into some cryotherapy! Your body has to work hard and burn calories to maintain a 98% temperature. Cryotherapy can burn between 400-800 calories in 3 minute sessions. If you are broke and can’t afford cryotherapy just yet, take two ice baths a day and you will start to see similar effects.
[19:55] Tip #4: Intermittent Fasting makes things so much easier and quicker, which is why we’ve focused so much talk on it in past Adonyx episodes. Once you get into the swing of fasting, you will notice how much we are conditioned to eat. We like to think of intermittent fasting as the gateway into keto.
[25:55] Get a coach! You probably can’t afford Brandon, as he is the Kardashian of trainers, but maybe Connor will fit your back page budget.

There’s a lot of name dropping and secret-spilling in today’s episode. Brandon drops some insider info on what’s happening in the supplement industry, and Connor seeks possible help in the porn business. The guys talk about some recent deleted YouTube channels, and rules and regulations that are developing in the influencer world.
Key Takeaways:
[3:16] We talk about the Kenny KO Channel being terminated, and the beef he started with Connor a while back.
[4:40] Connor’s mansion video will be out soon! We appreciate all your excitement for it and we promise he will get it edited soon (shout out to Miguel) and it will get released.
[8:42] Many Instagram models must be doing Kenny KO’s social experiment of photoshopping their photos, or as we call it — Kenny KO’ing their photos.
[14:41] YouTube has to delete the videos where people are linking to and endorsing illegal products, like SARMs. Even though SARMs aren’t illegal for research, they are illegal for human consumption.
[16:31] We break down exactly what Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (aka SARMs) are, why people would decide to use them, and their known side effects even with the little research done.
[22:22] Brandon misquotes and misinterprets Connor’s attraction and sexual desires for baby robots.
[24:28] Brandon rose from the ashes of his first YouTube Channel getting shut down. Now he is your man for marketing advice.
[31:20] We pull back the curtain on Instagram models and why they are always in Dubai. We dare you to put the real behind the scenes on the ’gram!

Connor explains why he went to an exclusive mansion party dressed like Superman, the guys give you some major Tinder advice, and we expose girls for possibly liking sexting even more than us.
Key Takeaways:
[10:11] Connor gives a shout out to some very special stars in his upcoming video. The video will be out soon, it just will take a little editing to make it family friendly.
[17:43] Connor uses his Tinder Cheat Code to gather a flock of ladies to the party.
[20:44] Pro tip — when you are meeting a girl late at night after not answering them for a month on Tinder, meet them downstairs in the lobby or on the first floor rather than making her go straight upstairs to the bedroom.
[22:20] Second pro tip — hook your Tinder up to your Instagram so women can see how cool your life is, or at least what you ate for dinner. You can even split test your photos to see which one scores better. Don’t take your bio too seriously, and ask a question to get a response.
[24:58] Connor’s date passes go and collects all the pieces on the Monopoly board and even owns his Electric Avenue, if you know what we mean.
[42:57] Girls are like a thermostat, whereas guys are like a blow torch. A dick pic straight out of the gate is probably a little too much.
[48:09] If we had the opportunity to rid ourselves of all sexual desires, you’d better believe we would miss it, but it sure would be nice to have the extra energy and time to go towards productive endeavors.
[50:37] Pro tip — have sex before you go to the party, even if it's just with yourself. It rids you of neediness.
[56:10] Worry about advancing your career, having a cool life, and getting money. Don’t waste all your time chasing around girls.

Brandon’s energy is back in today’s episode, and boy does he have that glow. His intense diet just ended, and he still doesn’t think you are tough enough to hack it. We talk about our old fitness modeling gigs, animals that make love just for the fun of it, if we would fight a gorilla in an Adonyx t-shirt and fancy ways we reduce water weight.
Key Takeaways:
[5:22] Water retention can make the difference between having a six pack or not. Connor’s girly tip is an elastic waist trainer that temporarily helps you reduce water weight. Brandon’s hack is super hot baths in Epsom salts.
[12:11] Adonyx Nation: can any of you find Connor’s pictorial in any Academy Sports stuff?

Today we give extra props to Brandon who joined us while on the last couple days of his intense Terminator two-week diet, and his low lectin levels make for some good entertainment. We share our extreme diet hacks, including some that are deemed controversial, some crazy good carb alternatives and why we still like to stop at old-school grocery stores.
Key Takeaways:
[1:32] You probably aren’t tough enough for Brandon’s new diet, The Terminator two-week diet. It’s pretty drastic and intense and mixed with his ice baths and strict low-calorie intake there are few people that could actually do it. Maybe Count Dracula, Conor, and Genghis Khan could do it, but that’s about it.
[4:49] Be careful with serving size! If the serving size is under 5 calories, they can put it as 0 calories. We love hot sauce and mustard, but just be careful when pouring it on everything.
[7:42] NEAT — Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis aka the calories you burn throughout your day.
[18:39] Back in his fitness model days, Brandon would resort to intense diets to get his desired results in a quick amount of time.
[22:46] Brandon’s hacks to help keep your energy up during times of an extreme or low calorie diet (warning — some are controversial): Ketone supplements, caffeine, ephedra, creatine, and continuing to eat just whole foods to keep your appetite down. Connor started having one low-calorie after his cheat day, and that helps him stay lean.
[33:38] Connor is a fan of the shirataki noodles. With zero calories maybe up mostly of fiber, they can be a substitute for starchy noodles.
[43:24] Connor tries to get Brandon to open up to the world of imitation crab and liquid Truvia. Brandon loves his lemon pepper Bumblebee Tuna and his Quaker Instant Oatmeal.
[53:07] Connor makes his perfect oatmeal bowl for high-carb days with Greek yogurt, Truvia, cinnamon, fruit, and maybe some cereal if he is really going for it.
[57:29] Ramen noodles are good for when you are bulking on a budget and are extremely dense in calories for the price.

We are joined by special guest Evan DeMarco, clinical researcher, and product developer. Evan gives us the insider hacks on how to improve brain function, sexual health gains, stem cells, and overall bedroom game.
Key Takeaways:
[1:37] Evan discusses the benefits Alpha GPC when it comes to brain function AND sex life. He recommends pairing it with a high concentrate fish oil.
[2:14] Evan created Alpha & Omega, and when paired with GPC it results in better vascular health all around.
[13:05] Issues with erectile dysfunction can be a foreshadowing of cardiovascular disease in the future.
[14:27] Yes, stem cell treatments hurt if you get it when you get it in your junk, but the temporary results of size increase are pretty damn cool.
[26:44] Eating well, good supplements and drinking enough water are key to getting your brain function and sexual health to peak performance.
[32:38] CBD is good to help general inflammation, anxiety, brain health, etc.
[38:45] Other causes of erectile dysfunction include emotional issues such as porn addiction, depression, and anxiety.

Today’s episode takes a twist, as it’s a straight-up Q&A with your boy Connor Murphy! You asked and Connor answers — on everything from best gum for your jawline, his take on supplements, whether or not Connor smokes weed, and how he handles all those unknown phone numbers blowing up his phone.
Key Takeaways:
[4:19] You can have noticeable results on the jawline from chewing gum. Connor recommends a low-calorie and sugar-free gum.
[7:45] For those trying to gain weight, we are envious of you. Also, be sure you are getting a good combo of healthy fats, protein, and carbs and splurge on some not filling food — AKA junk food. You can also drink your calories.
[16:40] Yes, Connor has a lot of phone numbers in his phone — but when he is at work he is focused on making the video and the production happening in the present moment.
[18:09] Adonyx hack: if you don’t know who a phone number in your phone belongs to, try entering the number in Facebook to see if you can trace it to a profile.
[21:46] Supplements are great refining tools for someone who already has all the fundamentals in check. The biggest one is creatine, then protein powder.

[38:17] Connor gives his tips on losing weight in the gut without high-intensity cardio. If you need even more of a little push, jump on The Adonyx app and we will give you a custom plan.
[46:49] Connor thinks of working out as a habit you have to do every day much like taking a shower or brushing your teeth.

This may be the weirdest episode yet. Connor and Brandon kick it off with the pros and cons of sex dolls and love robots, and how they may be taking over the world. They also talk about the ideas of having sex with a robot or AI porn when you are in a relationship, and whether it’s ethical or cheating. Then, Connor searches his own name on porn sites, reveals his passion for romance novels and naturally, horrendous sex crimes.
Key Takeaways:
[8:41] Love dolls look eerily similar to real girls, and we aren’t sure how we feel about them. Connor is okay with his future girlfriend having a doll made from his own replica.
[27:16] Connor and Brandon recall how girl crazy and hormone-driven they were in their 20’s, and how they know every dude can relate to it.
[36:34] Mark Brandon’s words: the first sex robot will come out of Japan. Connor would model his robot after a high school crush that never came to fruition.
[48:48] Deepfakes takes a body of a porn star and places it on the face of whoever you upload to create a very realistic photoshopped lookalike.
[58:12] Pro Tip — it’s romantic to pick porn stars that look like your girlfriend. Brandon’s Google Doc of videos that is an efficient way to make sure he doesn’t waste time scrolling and searching.
[62:13] Connor has a passion for romance novels, and possibly may even be an author of one in the future.
[77:29] Robots and technological innovation are not just going helpful in the role of a sexual partner — soon they may be cooking for us, cleaning for us and doing all the annoying domestic chores none of us want to do.

We bring in a special guest for today’s show, Jordan Harbinger, author, speaker, podcast host and just all-around elite level smart dude. Jordan shares what he has learned from over 900 interviews with some of the world’s most interesting people, and why his new podcast, The Jordan Harbinger Show, is different from any other show out there. He talks with the guys about developing good habits, setting up your environment to win, why you don’t want to depend on willpower, how he accidentally stumbled upon intermittent fasting, and how to handle people around you that try to sabotage your good habits.
Key Takeaways:
[0:45] We welcome special guest Jordan Harbinger, critically acclaimed host and formerly of The Art of Charm podcast. Jordan now has his own show — The Jordan Harbinger Show.
[4:57] The new show takes the superpowers of amazing guests and delivers them to the listening audience. Jordan studies the thoughts, habits, and mindsets of brilliant people who can translate the skills to the listening audience so they could apply it in their everyday life. Every episode has worksheets to take practical information that listeners can use right away.
[20:12] It’s too tough to depend on strong willpower all the time — one habit hack is to make your environment reflect your goals. For example, if you want to try and eat healthy most of the time, leaving chocolate cake or leftover pizza around will test your willpower and you will probably stay off your goals. Keep your environment stocked with clean foods that are easy to reach.
[28:44] Surround yourself with people that support your habits and follow through with important habits of their own.
[38:53] Depending on willpower to come through all the time when you are tired and hungry is not a good strategy for anything you want to accomplish.
[48:22] Connor has the dirtiest car you probably have ever seen.
[49:12] Jordan clears up the difference between discipline and a lack of willpower and having certain priorities.

- “The people that you are around will always bring you up or down. It’s important to curate the right people.”
- “You can’t rely on willpower. It’s not strong enough for when you are tired, hungry and there is a donut in front of you.”
- “You can’t turn on greatness — it has to become a habit.”
- “Whenever you are highly disciplined about something and you’re around people that are not, they will use social control to try and get you to come down to where they are.”
In today’s episode, we are stirring up some drama. We start off with some YouTube drama and who we have had a legitimate beef with, over the years. Then Connor reveals someone has been calling his pranks fake. He has some stuff in the works about this, so be sure to stay tuned to his blog. We also talk about our low-maintenance grooming routines, and Brandon shares why his rap career was cut short. Be sure to leave us a review!
Key Takeaways:
[3:29] We dig into the Logan Paul and KSI boxing drama and give our take on it. Then Brandon gives us the lowdown on why his fight didn’t happen, and if he thinks it would happen in the future.
[11:02] Hear the theories we have heard on how Vitaly got big and ripped within just a few months, and who he is allegedly exposing.
[17:18] Someone is calling Connor’s pranks fake. Be on the lookout for an uncut vlog post soon to debunk this. Both Brandon and Connor agree that any videos that come out that mention them do little besides raise their views.
[20:08] One of Connor’s first vlogs was him shirtless in the Apple store.
[25:55] One time… back in Austin… Connor tried to fake a complicated prank. The lesson learned was that it is actually is easier to use real people with real reactions then to try and hire someone.
[34:21] Pro tip: if you are dating Connor or someone that looks like an Adonyx dude, don’t be insecure. Keep confident and don’t get discouraged if your partner is just as hot as you.
[36:21] Besides the occasional shower the guys are very low maintenance with their beauty habits and wardrobe choices.
[41:24] Brandon was once told he was too good looking to be a rapper. They wanted someone looking more like a drug dealer and little did they know he probably had drugs in his pocket.
[44:23] It’s good to be conscious of what we are putting into and onto our skin in the shower and throughout the day. The skin absorbs what we put on it, so you’ll want to replace products with harsh chemicals for something more natural.
[46:18] If Brandon goes one day without spraying his balls it starts to smell like Indian food gone bad.
[48:14] From an evolutionary standpoint it’s important to feel attracted to the scent of the person you mate with.

In today’s episode Connor recaps his time in San Diego, Brandon’s new quick crash diet of no carbs and no fat diet is lit and he is looking to be in the single digits of body fat in a matter of days, the guys dream up a breast-milk-centered business and they spurt out some serious bulking knowledge for both new and experienced people.
Key Takeaways:
[2:58] Brandon proposes a business venture where extra breast milk gets farmed out to bodybuilders, and the protein can be harvested into tasty cottage cheese or yogurt.
[4:04] Connor wants to wait until the research is out until they start making the company logo and opening the new center, etc.
[14:46] Connor has been trying to stay lean for the camera and has been cutting year round and maintaining.
[20:35] Brandon spills the tea on how to cut weight fast with as low as possible caloric intake while keeping your muscle mass.
[22:20] It takes about 72 hours to go into starvation mode, which is a lot longer than most people think. Fasting causes the cells to regenerate and replace each other at an increased rate, along with a host of other health benefits. The people that would benefit the most from fasting are those that have been bulking for a while, as their body will absorb all the nutrients better.
[36:28] After Connor’s cheat day, he eats just some vegetables and fats and gives himself a day of low protein.
[49:23] The guys drop some bulking knowledge for beginners, and for experienced cutters and gainers. It’s important to pay attention to the information and whether it’s meant for a beginner or something with more experience. The best plan for this is to have a coach through The Adonyx Coaching so you can customize your meals and training according to your individual needs.
[54:20] Switching up your program and your training is good experience and will help you see some differences when you feel as though you have a hit a plateau with your plan.

In a special conversation, we go over some top secret YouTube algorithms, some key points from our Influencer Domination tour on how you can be social media famous, and get into what everyone wants to know - does Connor sleep with the girls in his videos?
Key Takeaways:
[10:37] If there was a perfect length of videos, it would be around 10 minutes. But don’t base your content on making it shorter or longer around just hitting a specific time. Be focused on good content first.
[15:40] We get into what people really want to know, is Connor sleeping with the girls in the video?
[42:10] Connor has the body of a shirtless YouTube star, but the mind and background of a successful economist professional!
[54:17] It’s not always about girls! It’s about forming a brotherhood and working hard on your own self first, and then the girls and the dates will follow.
[1:10:41] Dating someone in the limelight can cause a lot of jealousy and it’s not easy to find chicks when you have a bunch of other girls hitting on you and commenting that they want you all the time!
[1:16:17] Connor thinks of girls as professional actresses on the set of his video filming, and not someone to pick up. He may get their numbers and call them later, but in the moment he is all business.

In today’s episode, we talk about our beef with fruit, our take on the latest scandals in Hollywood and pressures within the industry, what makes testosterone fluctuate the most and the most money it would take to have us doing some pretty weird stuff.
Key Takeaways:
[3:05] Fruit used to be considered safe, and sweetness signified a good source of energy that we needed because food was limited. While it’s better than some choices, fruit isn’t an ideal choice of The Adonyx Podcast.
[6:29] Brandon just eats for the sake of eating and doesn’t plan his life around food like most people.
[12:51] The guys reveal the magic number of what it would take to do some pretty detailed acts. We can’t go into detail more here for sake of potential government monitoring, but if you listen you’ll know.
[25:29] We talk about the pressures in Hollywood and in the modeling world, and the precautions and responsibilities to take in order to stay safe.
[33:50] Brandon gives some expert advice on the orgasm without total completion. The key is to change it up so it’s not so stimulating.
[44:01] From what we have read and researched, testosterone fluctuates so much that masturbation doesn’t have a giant effect. The other major factors include sleep, diet, and stress.
[51:39] Connor is trying out working the full body every other day. He has been doing keto 3 days a week at 3000 calories, shifts his workouts towards the other carb days, and then a crazy cheat meal Sunday. It’s the cyclical keto diet but with four carb days instead of two.

In today’s episode, we talk about the science behind why we love foreign accents, Connor’s most recent social media proposition and the business ideas it leads us to, a movement called NoFap, and the sliding scale of sexuality.
Key Takeaways:
[3:22] Brandon explains why we are attracted to accents from countries outside of our own, including the intro to our podcast.
[5:54] Connor gets a proposition to follow someone’s girlfriend on Instagram for $1k to brighten her day. This leads to other business ideas to source “himself” out for parties, celebrations, etc.
[22:31] NoFap is a community that refrains from watching porn and masturbating. Some feel like this brings a confidence, greater energy, and mental clarity. We feel like the issue comes with an addiction to porn where your normal stimulation wears off and regular sex doesn’t compare.
[44:28] We go through the sliding scale of sexuality, and where Connor and Brandon both fall on the spectrum. We also encourage those that are gay to be fully “out,” so that we don’t have to compete with their great style and their clean houses.
[54:11] Connor looks to our ancestors to explain why hygiene is overrated. If you don’t feel like taking a shower tonight or changing your underwear, we hear you.
[58:07] Fruit used to be natural and good, but we have manipulated it so much with unnatural genetics.

Mean Genes: From Sex To Money To Food: Taming Our Primal Instincts, by Terry Burnham and Jay Phelan
If you are wondering where we get our Zen and Buddha-like aura’s from, today we let you guys in on our insider secret. Meditation. It’s free, simple and you can practice it anywhere. We break down some easy ways to start meditation, and some of the real benefits we experienced after just a week or two of practicing it daily. Just five minutes a day can get you feeling calmer, more focused and at the very least, just a little bit less like you want to punch a wall next time that dude cuts you off in traffic. We also talk about attachments to material things, Connor’s new YouTube channel, Connor Murphy Talks, and why being popular makes you more popular.
Key Takeaways:
[4:59] Connor and Brandon both found some huge benefits from meditating. Just a few include heightened senses, better sex, the ability to be more present in the moment, and feeling less distracted.
[8:36] The guys share how they meditate. For beginners, they suggest searching guided meditations or joining Brandon’s Victory Unit. They both focus on their breath and scan their body for any sensations. Brandon is so fancy he ordered a brain sensing headband to help train his brain.
[20:04] Brandon ordered something to up his meditation game called a Muse. It helps train his brain to remain and calm during meditation. He also reserves five minutes after each meditation practice to just think and let the flow state come on through. Connor tries to do it for at least 10 minutes a day, but on a busy day he can break it up into several-minute intervals. The key is to do it consistently.
[30:20] With social media fame comes the feeling of having an influence on people, and being able to suggest things that could help change their life, meditation being one of them.
[33:43] Connor is starting a third YouTube channel, @ConnorMurphyTalks.
[38:01] A lot of suffering comes from always wanting more with not already being satisfied and grateful for what you have. We give some examples of people happy with just a simple and yacht-free life. Sometimes, the less you know what’s out there and feel the need to acquire, the happier you are.
[45:40] The guys reference an episode of Black Mirror where everything in your life depends on your rating that people give you online. This makes sense from an evolutionary standpoint, where if you are well liked in your pack, other pack members that come in are going to like and respect you from the start.
[55:56] It just so happens we did a whole tour on how people can grow their business and be successful on social media. If you missed it, make sure to visit the Influencer Domination Page to get on the VIP list so you can have first access when we release our webinar and course.

Today we share some real scientific studies on how meditation affects stress and depression, reduces heart disease and stroke, and how we got into it. Plus, since all the cool people are doing it, why you would even want to and how it helps aesthetics. Connor gives an update on a weird Instagram situation and tells an Adonyx exclusive story about the time he was held up at gunpoint.
Key Takeaways:
[2:12] Connor updates us on his super bizarre Instagram creepy-stalker-follow situation. Pro tip: don’t pay $1,000 to try and get the girl when you can at least follow all The Adonyx methods for way less.
[12:53] One of the techniques Connor uses to ease the stress of being as popular and sought after as he is is meditation. Some people might think it’s some weird spiritual practice, but we break down the science and actual evidence-based benefits behind it.
[23:41] Brandon started meditating to control his anger and spazzy nature. Meditation helps lower your cortisol and harness the fight-or-flight reaction in our day to day life. He finds that it helps him stay focused, clear-headed and less responsive to the haters.
[28:31] Connor tells his never-told-before story of how he was robbed at gunpoint. He regrets not blogging it to this day. The experience was so traumatic to him that it caused a lot of generalized fear, which meditation helps heal.

In the second part of our special two-part episode, we uncover why not everyone has to be equal at all things, racial diversity, our weird search history, the pros of hiring a coach to work with you on your fitness, and why the guys would be way richer as women.
Key Takeaways:
[6:45] A large part of winning in the fitness game is letting your opinions stand up to scrutiny, and changing your opinion without ego when you get new information that leads you down a new but different path.
[8:07] Connor used to think that meditation was just placebo effect but now believes in the science and anecdotal evidence behind it.
[18:53] Black people have bigger dicks. We have empathy for Brandon since he has had to spend so much money on magnum condoms over his lifetime.
[30:02] Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages! No matter what your background is, find a way to win.
[40:01] Finding a great coach and following their advice is one of the secrets to Brandon and Connor’s success.
[47:33] We fess up on what we search on the internet and why we aren’t scared of having it out in the public.
[58:12] It’s good to limit your porn intake so that way you don’t become completely desensitized. We are going to dive more into the investigation that claims that cutting out porn can help your fitness.

[28:16] Connor breaks down why capitalism is cool, and Brandon explains some of the flaws in the system.
[38:42] Why differences don’t matter when it comes to salary when you are the best of the best at your job. Just make sure if you are interviewing with Brandon you can name three senators.
[42:15] We question what the different Presidents actually do for our day to day life. It’s all about using your time and energy to focus on winning, so don’t waste your time stressing about politics!
[46:44] Brandon gives his reasons and experiences for not driving or owning a car. Jackie Robinson and Tiger Woods are two examples of guys that just focus on winning instead of thinking of reasons or excuses they could lose.
[55:34] Connor puts his Economics and Computational Math degree to work with statistical discrimination.
[60:01] Connor encounters a hater at the FitExpo, trying to passive aggressively hate on intermittent fasting.

[40:11] If you have super high testosterone levels, you will store less fat in your abdominal areas.

[9:40] Just being the real deal isn’t enough, being able to transfer and teach the information is just as important.
[11:33] Psychologists have studied Justin’s work due to the focus on actual well-thought-out information on how you measure value and human dynamic.
[17:44] Justin, like Connor, is naturally pretty shy and they both found getting into fitness and working out a major component of what gave them self-esteem.
[30:55] Justin breaks down what type of looks girls are attracted to most, and gives hope for all the non-models out there.
[33:04] He focuses a lot on the art of relationships and maintaining attraction just beyond the initial meeting.
[43:01] It was important for Justin to walk the walk on his channel and show his subscribers exactly how his methods are done.

We are super excited about our guest this week, Charlie from Charisma on Command. Find out why his YouTube channel has over one million subscribers, get some charisma secrets, the Adonyx exclusive on his current relationship status, life as both an introvert and extrovert, and how to fix an awkward handshake.
Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[2:41] Charlie was very shy, had a tough time with the ladies and decided to work on his confidence level and connection with strangers on a trip to Costa Rica around age 20. It took him a year-and-a-half to get something on YouTube, and he started with posting Charisma Breakdowns.
[10:32] Charlie’s most controversial episode so far is with Logan Paul. Both Connor and Charlie share what they have learned from him.
[15:29] First step:
- It is helpful to just have an initial thing to say such as “Hey, I don’t think I’ve met you yet, I’m (your name).”
- Take the pressure off yourself so that you fill your life with things you love other than women.
[20:35] Go in curious to meet someone and see if you click rather than try to prove yourself.
[26:51] Even just talking to strangers you pass by on the street or smiling at a person at the grocery store are steps towards building up your attractiveness.
[28:04] Go out and do things to entertain yourself and to make your own self laugh.
[33:27] Charisma comes in many forms. Some may love to be in small groups, large groups, presenting or alone with a camera. Each one is something that needs special separate training.
[42:17] Charlie’s intention is to make people feel good for longer periods of their life.

Today we dive right into the behind-the-scenes dark side of the fitness industry that we’ve been exposed to. People may think it’s all fun, games, and shirtless photos on Instagram, but there are a lot of pretty extreme expenses that come with this job. We talk about the effects of over-consuming, under-restricting, eating poorly and also veer off topic for some pretty epic real talk on lobsters, whales, and dudes that wear gloves when working out.
Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[2:13] One of the first drawbacks in the industry is people falling prey to drugs and having to use artificial or dangerous substances in order to keep up.
[16:28] A lot of eating disorders in the fitness community.
[23:20] Did you know lobsters used to be served to prisoners? They were cooked while already dead and tasted much worse than when you cook them alive and dip them in butter.
[24:48] The damage of over-restricting calories and slowing down your metabolism as your body adjusts to the lower amount of calories.
[39:45] When people have a systematic way of dieting, their body gets less sensitive to it.
[45:31] Connor breaks down his protein/carb breakdown the day before his cheat meal, and how intermittent fasting plays into it all.
[56:27] Cutting out carbs drastically helped Connor with a bacterial infection several years ago. Carbs and fruit aren’t what they used to be years ago, and if you are going to eat fruit it’s important to eat seasonally.
[59:43] A high-carb and low-fat diet is good for straight-up bodybuilding, but it’s not optimal for everyday life with no consistent training.

The Winner Effect: The Neuroscience of Success and Failure, by Ian H. Robertson
Today we are lucky enough to have a special guest, AJ Mihrzad. Author of The Mind Body Solution, AJ was inducted into the Personal Trainer Hall of Fame and has a very successful business and podcast and we are very excited to have him on! We talk about the million-dollar mindset that successful people have, the mindset of money, introverts vs. extroverts, and how you can train your brain and body to help you attain an even better life.
Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[3:22] The biggest mindset tip from AJ is to “act as if, and soon you will become.”
[9:06] Connor went all out with no backup plan, which may seem delusional to some but was the only option for him. Burn your boats so that the only option is victory!
[12:46] AJ broke out of his own shyness and developed the skill set to learn how to gain confidence, in order to speak publicly and coach large groups of people.
[14:09] You can’t just sit and think about what you want, you need to do the hard work.
[20:55] We are wired to be attracted to confidence and leadership, not cockiness or arrogance. Brandon even has a theory that the general public wants a President that can win in a fight.
[33:15] You can have the most amazing work ethic, but you need to be sure you are working on the right things.
[44:32] Looks, physical fitness, and money are great enhancements to the skills you already have.

Are you ready for a great battle royale in today’s episode? We tackle the subject of cardio — why you would want to add it into your fitness routine, our own personal experience of how we use it to build an aesthetic body, high-intensity interval training vs. steady state, and why walking around the block may be just as good. We each give our side of the story and drop some knowledge that you can take with you along your journey. Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[7:48] Connor jumps right in with some disadvantages of cardio. First, it’s time-consuming. Not everyone has an hour to take out of their day to jog on a treadmill at 5 mph. When he does do cardio, it’s less than 10 minutes and high-intensity interval training.
[12:10] Check out sprinter vs. marathon runner, and we aren’t super fans of steady state cardio.
[16:17] Connor finds that the more cardio training he does, the less intense his weight training.
[18:43] Brandon recommends slipping in a little cardio while you rest between sets. It will take a while to build up your cardio strength. He did more cardio when he was younger, and that and a good diet help him stay lean.
[30:48] Brandon believes that for fat loss, cardio alone is almost useless without the help of diet.
[36:12] We both agree that walking for an hour or more per day is a great way to burn calories, clear your head and get the blood flowing.

We have a very special episode today with MindPump hosts Sal Di Stefano, Adam Schafer and Justin Andrews. They have over 40 years of combined fitness experience as personal trainers, club managers, IFBB fitness competitors, and fitness thought leaders. Their podcast and online radio show is one of the top in the game right now and they are seriously some of the most knowledgeable and ahead of the curve from working with thousands of people and engaging in competition themselves. We talk about changes they have seen from being inside the industry for many years, marijuana usage and performance enhancement, the real talk on nootropics and SARMs, top factors in fitness peak performance, and some solid advice in bulking up and efficient workouts.
Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[1:18] Our guests today are trailblazers in the fitness and media world, Sal, Adam, and Justin of MindPump.
[4:14] They shed some light on the changes within the fitness and gym industries since they started.
[5:21] The MindPump podcast is one of the most popular fitness currently, and averages about 1 million downloads a month.
[6:25] We get a detailed and thorough MindPump answer to the frequently asked question about marijuana use and its effect on fitness training and performance enhancement. Also, how marijuana works with healthy individuals and those with compromised immune systems and hormone levels.
[11:42] There is much still to learn about CBD, but there are some studies currently that support usage and sales are new and on the rise. Adam owned some of the first cannabis clubs in San Jose.
[17:16] Supplements and nootropics can be an extra boost but not enough has been tested yet and the general consensus is that they should be natural and never replace the foundation of a diet, exercise, and good sleep. We cover what SARMs are and why should one be very wary of taking them.
[23:02] Top three factors that make up fitness peak performance in order of importance: genetic, diet and programming, and anabolics.
[28:55] One of the biggest areas of research right now for our military and Navy is towards things like meditation, mindfulness, and a natural flow state rather than pushing their bodies with synthetic materials or pushing them to an unhealthy limit.
[35:10] Good quality sleep with no-to-limited electronic interference is important! Learn to listen to the signs that your body is giving you and this will optimize the way you build muscle more than anything outside of yourself.
[43:06] Brandon gets super excited talking with the MindPump crew about full body workouts and upper/lower body splits and the science behind this method.
[57:28] One of the biggest game changers could be competing. That is the environment where you have to practice what you preach and dial every action into what works best for you.
[59:18] MindPump shares the health benefits of fasting, eating low protein once a week, and (gasp!) even eating vegan once a week.
[68:35] Prioritizing sleep will help your performance. Try to go to bed right after it gets dark and let yourself rise with the sun.

We welcome our very first guest on the podcast! Dating coach Austen Summer joins us to talk about how having an epic physique impacts your game, some Tinder hacks, how to make moves as a shy guy, and why you want to say hi to the next person that hands you a burrito. Between Connor and Brandon lies a perfect pickup artist with the help of Austen’s tips. A lot of guys are confused about how to approach a woman, what to say or just how not to come off as a creep. He will show us how with some fun along the way.
Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[3:08] Stop! The first girl you see, give her the ACII right now: Attention, Context, Intent, Introduction. This gets your foot in the door for the initial chat.
[6:47] The more you practice holding a conversation with an object of affection, the less you will fear saying the wrong thing or nothing at all.
[8:17] In your mind, lower the bar of things you deem good enough to say and just say anything but say it in an engaging and playful way.
[20:52] Fitness can impact your game and testosterone, bringing a level of power and energy attractive to women.
[31:32] On a date don’t just stand in one place for 3 hours, move around so you can “seed then lead.”
[37:10] Pickup is cool, and what is your plus one to add on to pick up? What do you have to offer for a good time or something exciting?
[40:01] The very first step is just saying hi to a person out in the world. It can be a cashier, a random stranger at a coffee store, or someone next to you in line. Every person you talk to helps grease the wheel of breaking the ice.

Quotes:
“You can say anything — just say it in an engaging and interesting way. It’s more about how you say it rather than what you say.”
“I used to shake, just talking to the lunch lady in the cafeteria.”
“When I was your age, I had to actually talk to girls on the street.”
We aren’t about cutting corners, but we sure are all about hacking your way to the best body and staying focused and efficient in all your fitness gains. In today’s episode, we share our top hacks. We cover everything from cutting weight quick, how to stay full, packing in a workout in 30 minutes or less, why a cold shower or cold anything is good, the importance of hydration, and other tips and tricks to optimize your time and energy. These are real tried-and-true hacks that personally work for us and habits we implement every day. There’s even some new stuff in the broscience realm that hasn’t been tested yet that we invite you to try out on your own and see what kinds of results you get. Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[2:06] Some hacks we use to stay full that taste good: sugar-free jello (Connor makes his own and Brandon buys the single serving packs!), Truvia / Stevia, Cocoa.
[8:31] Brandon splits his workouts into two workouts a day rather than one big long one.
[12:35] Before you are in a calorie deficit, hit your abs or a place you have trouble losing fat, on the workout.
[20:04] Pick a body part you want to improve and train it every day. Not to the point of overtraining or exhausting it to failure, but getting the reps in every day.
[26:16] Connor explains why he supersets his workouts to cut his workout time. A superset is when one set of an exercise is performed directly after a set of a different exercise without rest between them.
[29:41] Brandon kicks it up a notch and does tri-sets.
[34:58] Get cold! It helps pump your blood, burns calories and helps lift your mood and give you a rush of energy.
[41:08] Drink more water! This is something mentioned on most episodes because drinking water and staying hydrated is so important to being fit and shredded. If you are drinking tons of water be sure to add some electrolytes and sea salt to it.
[44:44] Try everything and see what works for you!

Our topic today is so important that we probably wouldn’t be where we are today without it. We are talking all about intermittent fasting. What exactly it is, what the benefits are and how we do it. We’ll also cover the times fasting may not be ideal, and when are the best times to workout when you are on a fast. If you want to get and stay lean, gain clarity, manage your insulin, and curb your cravings, then intermittent fasting is probably for you. Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[1:07] You can watch our previous episode, The TRUTH about Steroids, on Brandon’s YouTube page: here.
[1:33] Intermittent fasting is a limited period of eating and generally means that you consume your calories during a specific window of the day, and choose not to eat food for a larger window of time. The most common way to do it is to eat within 8 hours — 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. or noon to 8 p.m., for example.
[2:57] Connor breaks down some significant benefits to fasting. It helps you stay leaner and satisfy hunger levels.
[4:51] It took Brandon and Connor a couple of weeks for their bodies to adjust.
[7:19] Connor stays about the same; his maintenance is about 3000 when he is not fasting, and 3200 when he is.
[9:38] Connor doesn’t have the luxury of lean bulking due to internet haters worrying about where his abs went!
[13:23] The guys give some tips on what window throughout your fasting time is best to work out.
[17:13] Breaking a fast is not an on/off switch. It’s different levels and your body’s insulin levels will get more regulated.
[18:05] We have most of our carbs as the last meal of the day. We will talk more soon about carb backloading.
[21:17] When you get into the groove of intermittent fasting, the next step is a 24 hour fast. This works great for when you are traveling or just too busy to plan out your meals.
[23:24] Your body will break down fat for energy and converts it into ketones.
[26:37] Intermittent fasting is a great place to start as you introduce a lifestyle like the ketogenic diet and consistent workouts.
[30:49] Connor has a cheat meal once a week (sushi buffet anyone?) and is in deficit the rest of the week.
[34:45] Stay tuned for hacks on how to stay full for longer!

Welcome to an episode where we spill on the dark side of being famous and the negative impact when you are a YouTuber or just celebrity in general. Everyone talks about the positive sides of being famous but there’s always a little bit of baggage that comes with all the perks. We cover the unrealistic expectations on social media, haters, the need to always be on, how fame changes relationships, hurt feelings and jealousy, others spreading false information, and how to welcome all of this and learn from it to turn it into positive fuel for your career. Leave us a review and mention who you would love to see as a guest on our podcast. Then, send a screenshot of your review to connor@adonyx.net to enter to win a call with Connor.
Key Takeaways:
[4:15] You not only have to be active on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, etc. but now staying up on constantly updating the instant stories are a whole other responsibility.
[5:47] We already covered how to stay shredded year round in Episode 2, but the average expectation to do it naturally is a ton of work. We love the challenge and always rise to the occasion, but people can be brutal with their comments.
[9:04] Connor shares a story about a video made about him by h3h3 and Vegan Gains and how it affected his channel.
[18:42] We share some extreme cases of YouTube career sabotage and other celebrities that got a pass from the public.
[28:40] We talk how fame has affected our relationships, both romantic and platonic. Social media could be how a lot of hookups start, and it can also be the demise. You also never know who is just trying to become friends with you for the wrong reasons, especially in Los Angeles.
[39:18] Family dynamics can also change with people expecting money and help in other areas.
[41:12] If you are friends with someone famous, stop expecting them to pay for everything!
[42:19] It’s very important to take the mentality of giving instead of taking into all your friendships, famous or not. Instead of trying to get a picture with everyone and using them, connect with them as a human first to develop an actual mutually beneficial relationship.
[55:54] People have a certain sense of entitlement, and sometimes it can lead to us reacting with a guarded or cynical outlook.
[64:23] We believe in business first, then friendship, because we have many people depending on our productivity and who we want to be able to serve best.

YouTube commenters love to accuse us of taking steroids but spoiler alert: we don’t. We have nothing against people that do use performance-enhancing drugs and understand why someone would but we want you to be informed about the pros and cons. In this episode, we cover in what cases steroids may be of use to you, and the expense of taking them, both monetarily and on your body.
We mainly focus on steroids in this episode but plan on diving into more performance-enhancing drugs, SARMs, and prohormones in future episodes. Also, enter our contest by leaving a 5-star review, or an episode topic you want us to cover and sending a screenshot of it to Connor@Adonyx.net. Also, let us know what you think of our potential nicknames: Brandon “Powerhouse Frankenstein” and Connor “Tank” Murphy.
Key Takeaways:
[2:27] We reveal what our alter egos would have been should we have nicknamed ourselves. Let us know how you like the sound of Brandon “Powerhouse Frankenstein” and Connor “Tank” Murphy.
[9:30] So many different factors go into how you look. Even if you take steroids you have to be consistent, and steroids and performance-enhancing drugs aren’t a magic pill. You also short yourself of reaching your genetic potential.
[11:19] Performance-enhancing drugs can help get to the next level, but can only get you so far. The most important keys to success are consistency with training and eating right over a long period of time.
[17:43] Pros of steroids: you will build large muscles faster, lose more body fat and performance will skyrocket.
[18:34] Drawbacks and side effects: acne, hair loss, very costly, sleep apnea and stress on your internal organs.
[24:55] Brandon’s testosterone is at about 800, in the upper limits and similar to the levels of a teenager.
[29:04] Look for Brandon’s book out soon: How to Go Through Life with An Enormous Dick.
[31:18] Most people that are on testosterone have to stay on for a very long duration. Cycling off comes with a host of issues from high estrogen including depression, altered mood, and the scientific term: bitch tits.
[45:05] Professional bodybuilders are pushing their bodies to the extreme and spending upwards of $7,000 a month on performance-enhancing drugs.
[50:38] Training is different depending on what your body type is. To give you an example, Connor is a mesomorph, Brandon is an ectomorph.
[52:18] Protein synthesis occurs quicker with steroids, but overall results are better in natural training over an extended period of time.

Everyone wants to be famous, but few actually know how to get there. Today we drop some knowledge on how the fame game has changed over the past couple of years and now can sometimes even tip in favor of social media stars and influencers over the typical movie star or singer celebrity. We cover the importance of knowing what you want to be famous for, why you must be unique, monetizing your fame, and directing traffic to the right places. Plus a little encouragement that (almost) anyone can get there with some hard work and focus.
Key Takeaways:
[7:45] Instead of growing up wanting to be a movie star or firefighter, kids are going to name a YouTuber or influencer in their career goals. It’s way more attainable than becoming the next Michael Jordan or
Jake Gyllenhaal.
[9:04] The guys think 100,000-200,000 YouTube subscribers are worth about 1 million Instagram followers.
[11:42] We encourage you to think long and hard about what you want to be famous for and what specific skills you have. Fitness, wealth, knowledge?
[17:05] Be different. A large part of Connor’s success is that he is entertaining but also a mashup of advice, personality, fun, and pranks. Brandon “swol black Yoda” Carter took his own personal fitness knowledge and loves being an expert to help people eat and train right.
[18:43] Even with just a few thousand followers, you can still make a lifestyle if it’s a tight-knit and cult following.
[23:39] Making sure to monetize your fame and direct traffic to purchase something of value is crucial.
[26:48] Get on this now because it’s going to be the future! Colleges are offering social media promotion classes, and influence marketing is taking the place of traditional ads.

We don’t care if it’s the apocalypse and you are turned into a bloodthirsty zombie, or if you are in London for the month staring at beer battered fish and chips on every menu in sight. You gotta keep those abs ripped and keep your eye on the shredded body prize. In today’s episode, we give our own personal pro tips on what foods you can pack with you, tracking your food when eating out, fasting when flying, pocket scales and other small habits that can yield giant results. We also drop some pretty big news about our World Influencer Domination Tour, coming to a city near you. Leave us a review and tell us what you want to learn about next!
Key Takeaways:
[2:38] Find out the biggest mistake everyone makes when traveling.
[3:01] Dedication is important. Connor packs his own food when traveling, sometimes bringing an entire suitcase just for food.
[4:19] Canned meat like sardines, chicken and tuna, and whey protein and oatmeal are great choices to bring along while on the road.
[7:18] Pack a scale with you. Serving amounts can be deceiving and that’s a way many people fall into a trap of adding more calories over time with adding exceptions.
[13:57] Chain foods are required to have nutrition information displayed on the menu. We also give tips on what to do if you are at a restaurant with no information available.
[22:22] We drop some fun toothpaste trivia.
[24:06] Intermittent fasting is a great option for days that you fly. Also remember to stay hydrated and drink even more water than usual when on a plane, since you retain more water.
[31:24] Brandon gives his “crazy” pro tips on getting the large water bottles on a plane.

Today we are giving our shortcuts on dating, hooking up or just not having the ladies run away screaming when you walk in the room. This is a process you can go replicate, and we even break out the coveted “6 System,” usually reserved for birthdays and special occasions. It’s all about the supply and demand on dating and unlike a lot of other pickup strategies we encourage dudes to actually be cool and love their life instead of just faking it for the sake of getting girls to dig them. We finish up with our take on the infamous and feared “friend zone,” and why you want to be there with at least 3-5 hot girls at all times. Leave us a review or question and let us know what questions you want answered!
Key Takeaways:
[3:16] Don’t be needy! Women want what they can’t have. Running errands and paying for meals is nice but not something that any dudes should do in order to get a girl.
[7:49] Connor noticed once he became less available he became a higher value candidate on dating apps and real life.
[9:31] You could fake it until you make it, but we would rather you actually improve your life! It will make you stand out and be unique, raising your status automatically. Find a hobby, up your job duties, take up basket weaving if you want.
[16:39] We explain the “6 System” and how it makes you less needy. Top secret!
[19:30] Have 3-5 really hot but platonic friends. This creates social proof that you must be worthy.
[23:40] Make your personal and professional goals the most important thing in your life, even higher than getting girls and dating.
[30:03] A meeting with a client or business conference would be the best, but we will even take you playing video games to keep yourself not so needy.

Today we are going to talk about how building an amazing body gives you much more than just a superior physical aesthetic. A great body and consistent fitness routine and diet give you confidence with work and women, helps you relate to other dudes in the “tribe” with respect, and we have found nothing else to be more of a game changer. We both spill the beans on getting bullied in our childhood and teenage years, and how it helped fuel the fire to workout and get our Adonyx life on. Almost a decade later, Connor is still a dork and uses nerdy mathematical terms but hey, he has a great body. Leave a review, subscribe and let us know about your journey.
Key Takeaways:
[3:49] Connor was bullied pretty bad in high school. This helped pour fuel on the fire of his desire to better himself and get in the best shape possible.
[12:04] Connor has examples of how nerd disguise changes people’s reaction to him on his YouTube channel.
[15:08] We are tribal creatures, and naturally respect and follow those with strength. Evolution serves us to be attracted to those who provide us with the best resources.
[17:29] Brandon also got bullied and picked on while living in Chicago. He got sent to military school and got beat up there, as well.
[20:15] A strong physique is one thing, but the confidence that comes with it is priceless.
[22:02] Connor takes a chance and reveals that he is into fitness.
[24:20] The more you stay consistent with staying true to your fitness and nutrition, the more confidence and trust you have in yourself to succeed mentally and physically in sports, work, and pretty much every area of your life.

Today we are talking about how to get it to stay ripped all year round. Not sure if anyone knows, but Connor has a YouTube channel where he takes his shirt off a lot. Brandon weighs himself every morning naked. Together, we drop some pretty heavy knowledge bombs of eating at a deficit, reverse dieting, intermittent fasting, and hydration. We go through the pros and cons of cutting, and the biggest mistake people make once they get ripped. Come join us through the promised land of all things Adonyx, then subscribe, say hi, and give us some love.
Key Takeaways:
[5:36] In order to stay ripped, you gotta get ripped. Getting into single digits of body fat is a great place to be in.
[11:00] Once you get in the habit of tracking your calories, it gets easier.
[17:28] Once you reach your goal, it’s important to slowly get back up to the maintenance you were from the start.
[26:19] Learn how intermittent fasting, lecithin, and insulin come into play with hunger levels, maintaining an ideal weight, and helping not to overeat.
[29:11] Connor only eats one meal that includes carbs at the end of the day. Other than that it’s fat burning mode!
[32:57] Intermittent fasting can raise your maintenance number — due to not spiking insulin — and your water weight.
[37:50] If you want to cut water weight, drink more water and stay hydrated!

Connor and Brandon’s viral video tips covered in this episode:
● Find your voice and your own unique style.
● Having a great title and thumbnail people want to click on that give them the incentive to click to see more (i.e. a pic of Connor doing something crazy with a girl).
● Get people to click and stay to watch as much of the video as possible.
● Great quality of a video is important. Consider working with a production company to raise the video’s quality.
● Get your audience to watch another video after that. The more someone stays on YouTube after your video, the higher your own views. We think.
● Don’t worry about haters! They aren’t doing cool things and probably secretly love you and/or hate themselves.
Key Takeaways:
[4:02] Watch other YouTubers to see what works, but make it your own and put your unique spin on your channel. One of Connor’s biggest influences was Jeff Seid. He made it look fun and kept people wanting more. Jeff, if you are reading/listening — make more vids!
[8:32] In general, Facebook doesn’t do much recommending, so you have less of a chance to see a video unless it is shared with you or a friend likes it. YouTube has its own algorithm of suggesting videos and recommends videos to subscribers who like videos and subjects similar to yours. The way YouTube now shows recommended videos puts a little less emphasis on subscribers and more on getting YouTube to recommend your video.
[13:32] Audience retention and watch time is extremely important! YouTube recommends videos that cause people to stay on YouTube and watch other YouTube videos, even on other channels.
[16:51] The last 20 seconds of the video is called the End Screen. Make sure to have all your information on that so people can watch a video, preferably one of yours.
[20:16] Connor wanted to combine the entertainment and fun of prank viral videos and fitness aesthetic.
[21:46] Having a good thumbnail and title are two of the most important aspects of having a video go viral. Keep your thumbnails close up to the camera, simple and not blocking the timestamp of the video.
[28:44] Brandon shares the story on his first time his video went viral and climbed up to 75 million views.
[35:08] Brandon loves his Vlog channel so check it out! Connor recaps the tips to help him grow his Vlog channel so he doesn’t ruin Connor’s “virality” status.
[41:18] Think of what you would want to click on for titles and thumbnails!
