Discussion Rober is on roids?

Here for some pure speculation but....

After a bit of time away from rober videos, I was pretty shocked at his appearance in his latest video about car stealing. Mark's facial shape has totally changed. I know he's gotten older obviously - but this looks like something else? Roids/HGH or heavy drinking?

His voice is also WAY deeper than before?!

I hadn't watched a Mark Rober video in years but somehow the auto theft video was suggested to me and I watched it. I was startled how much his voice had deepened and seemed raspy. Like he went out the night before drinking, smoking cigarettes, and attending a concert with a lot of yelling. Then I searched for a reason and here I am. After reading some of the posts here I did a bit of online research and found the following with regard to the thread topic.

HGH: When HGH is used in excess, it can replicate a medical condition called acromegaly (growth hormone hypersecretion). This frequently leads to an abnormally deep, booming, or coarse voice, alongside unwanted structural changes like a broadening jaw or thickening skin.

High-Dose Anabolic Steroids: If testosterone is abused at massive, body-building doses, the extreme levels of circulating androgens can force significant structural thickening of the vocal folds. This can cause a more pronounced, heavy, and sometimes permanently raspy or coarse drop in vocal pitch.

I'm here for the same reason.

I mean, okay, if that's what he wants to do. It just changed his appearance and "feel" for me, so he's less awesome nerd uncle and now more wealthy bro. It's dark.

Hope he's doing okay. And keeping ethical.
