Shawn Michaels in Playgirl vibes

Here’s how Hasan Piker starts each day: working out, shooting the shit. It’s Monday at 8:30 a.m., and we’re in the backyard of a luxury villa in West Hollywood, where there’s a makeshift private gym with benches, pull-down machines, and dumbbells galore. This is where the 34-year-old political influencer keeps his thirsted-after body fit, joined by a few other neighborhood characters, including a guy who works on Pod Save America. His Bernese beefcake Kaya tussles with a few other golden-brown dogs. As Piker burns through his 70-minute workout, exhausting himself in the process, he strips his shirt off. An army of girls and gays—not to mention admiring looksmaxxers—would kill to be where I am now, next to Piker, as he pants in a pair of neon shorts with black Calvin Klein boxers poking out and sunlight glinting off the sweat beaded on his chest hairs.

Piker’s trainers fib to me about how much he’s bench-pressing (300 pounds?) before the real number comes out: 175. (His personal best is 285.) The conversation among the seven men and women grows increasingly unhinged, jokes about semen-retention exercises morphing into a discussion about which Hollywood plastic surgeon is least likely to kill you. “The new meta is ballerina cups—women only going for A to B to C cup, max,” Piker muses at one point (“meta” is a gamer-derived term for “state of the art”). “Nick Fuentes is gay,” he says at another, echoing a common attack on the far-right streamer. (“He definitely likes catboy porn,” he adds, referring to an infamous incident on one of Fuentes’s streams, which we will not detail here.) Groans, gossip, and athletic guidance fly from all angles: “Good, Has, get taller!” “Face down, ass up!” Toward the end, Piker starts describing how a chicken wrap he’s been loving recently is very fibrous and “bottom-friendly,” leading another gymgoer to tease him about his diet. “Have I been having anal sex? No,” Piker responds. “I’ve always had nice poops.”
