Clavicular has added a Howie Mandel podcast appearance and an unexpected meeting with Billy Corgan to his latest run of public appearances.
The online streamer, whose real name is Braden Peters, joined Mandel’s studio on Friday, September 18, 2026, for an episode of Howie Mandel Does Stuff. Peters livestreamed much of the visit on Kick, giving viewers a look at the recording session before the podcast episode had been released through the show’s regular channels.
The appearance marks another step into mainstream entertainment spaces for Clavicular, who built his following through livestreams and content connected to the looksmaxxing community. That online subculture focuses on changing or improving physical appearance, often through fitness, grooming, fashion and cosmetic procedures.

Clavicular livestreams Howie Mandel studio visit
During the September 18 stream, Mandel showed Peters around the studio and introduced him to people connected to the production. The livestream lasted for roughly one hour and 45 minutes, according to public recordings and channel-tracking information.
The podcast itself had not been formally released as of September 22. That means viewers who watched the livestream saw behind-the-scenes material rather than a finished, edited interview distributed by the official podcast page.
Mandel’s podcast has regularly featured entertainers, television personalities and online creators. Peters’ appearance places a controversial internet personality in a format more commonly associated with conventional celebrity interviews and comedy conversations.
Meeting with Billy Corgan draws attention
The studio visit also produced an unexpected encounter with Billy Corgan, the frontman of the Smashing Pumpkins.
Corgan spoke with Peters during the visit and discussed his long career in music. Peters appeared unfamiliar with much of Corgan’s work and indicated that he would listen to the band’s music later.
The exchange stood out because it brought together two figures from very different corners of entertainment. Corgan has spent decades working in alternative rock, while Peters is a young livestreamer whose audience was built primarily through internet platforms.
The meeting was not announced as a collaboration between Peters and the Smashing Pumpkins. There is also no indication that Corgan is involved in the podcast episode beyond the studio interaction shown during the livestream.
Who is Clavicular?
Clavicular is the online name used by Peters, an American streamer and influencer who became known for discussing looksmaxxing and self-improvement. His content often centres on facial appearance, body proportions, cosmetic changes and the language used by online appearance-focused communities.
His public profile has expanded through livestream appearances, podcast interviews and collaborations with other internet personalities. He has also drawn criticism over controversial comments and advice associated with extreme approaches to changing appearance.
That combination of notoriety and a highly direct broadcasting style has made Peters a regular subject of online discussion. His decision to livestream interviews and public appearances also means moments that might normally remain behind the scenes can quickly become part of his public persona.
What happens next
The immediate next step is the release of the recorded Howie Mandel Does Stuff episode. Until that happens, the full context of the conversation, including which portions were recorded for the final podcast, remains unclear.
For now, the livestream provides the clearest available account of the appearance. It shows Peters taking part in a podcast recording, touring Mandel’s studio and meeting Corgan, but it does not establish a longer-term professional relationship with either man.
The appearance also reflects the growing overlap between traditional entertainment formats and livestream culture. For creators such as Clavicular, a podcast booking can become a live event in its own right, with the recording process broadcast directly to an online audience.
