clavicular told howie mandel he 'permablasts doxy' instead of using protection and yes howie mandel was stunned

a new arc has arrived and it involves antibiotics, howie mandel, and the phrase 'permablast.'

per a thought catalog piece dated september 20th, clavicular sat across from howie mandel, was asked whether he wears protection, and responded with: "no. i permablast doxy." according to the piece, mandel was stunned. this is being reported as a real thing that occurred.

chat, for context: doxycycline is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. 'doxy-pep' is a real harm-reduction protocol some people use after potential exposure to certain stis. 'permablast' is not a clinical term.

what we know. the quote exists. thought catalog published it. the interview involved howie mandel, which raises its own set of questions about the venue, since mandel is famously and publicly germophobic. whatever context produced this exchange apparently produced it on camera.

what we don't know. the full context of the interview, the platform it aired on, what the question before and after looked like, or whether clavicular was being sincere versus doing a bit. the thought catalog framing suggests the answer landed as genuine. allegedly.

what's notable here. howie mandel has spent decades being one of the most documented germophobes in entertainment. the man will not shake hands. sitting across from someone who just casually announced an ongoing antibiotic regimen as a lifestyle choice is, by any measure, an unusual afternoon for him.

where this goes. unclear. the lore on clavicular's approach to health discourse has been building for a while. this is a new data point. the clip, per the coverage, exists somewhere. we're watching.

anyway. doxy does not care about your brand deals.
