Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is the most dramatic podcast ever and iHeartRadio podcast.
Chris Harrison and Lauren z E mccoming to you from
the home office in Austin, Texas on a hot summer day.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
We liked doing headlines together. Again. We forgot how much
do we enjoy this? So we're back already and a
couple things that have been top of mind. We're just
going to dive right in. Number one. I recently got
my first laser treatment, and I have been so happy
with it. I did something called BBL Moxie. Personally, can't
(00:38):
recommend it enough. Very minimal downtime, very overall pain free,
Like I would say the pain was like a one
or two. You're kind of red and swollen, but like
you can go out the next day. And I just
feel like it got rid of a lot of a
lot of my sun damage. My skin looks really smoothed
(00:58):
over and beautiful. And I did a bunch of research
and this is just me, but from what I could tell,
this one is not at risk of Like some lasers
are really deep and penetrative, and from what I've read,
plastic surgeons are now finding out like from women that
did are doing fillers and some lasers that then when
they go for a facelift later in life, like the
(01:21):
inside of their face is kind of hard to do
a facelift on, so you gotta be careful what you're doing.
But this just got me thinking because I've been kind
of thinking about all this lately, and like it was interesting.
As I was doing my research as to whether I
wanted to go do this, I came across a video
of a woman who is thirty. I thought she was
older than thirty by glancing at her, and in the
video she goes, I'm going to tell you everything I
(01:41):
did this year treatments wise. This one treatment I've done,
she'd done like three of them already. She'd done multiple
other treatments. She did a ton of botox, she did fillers.
She was spending something like fifteen grand a year on
all these different treatments. And she's thirty and I thought
(02:02):
she looked thirty two thirty three. So I'm sitting here
going what is going on right now with young people
and doing this stuff? Like it's starting to scare me
a little bit.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
There is this movement, and I think we saw it
with Ozempic, We've seen it with other things. But it's
really seemed to be. It seems to be hitting this
generation hard right now, and that is preventative. When the
industry pharmaceuticals whatever it is, has tapped out right, they've
(02:36):
hit the generation that maybe it's it's actually useful for,
and they're like, you know what, we need more money.
Let's go into the next generation down and let's convince
them that preventative botox, preventative fillers, preventative facelift, preventative, all
these things are preventative. If you start it now, in
your twenties or thirties, it'll really pay dividends later.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I think our kids have a couple of friends who
are getting preventative botox at nineteen and twenty, and I'm like,
you guys, I mean, I was telling my mom this,
and my mom gets botox. She's like, Lauren, I didn't
even start botox till I was fifty, and she goes,
look at me, I look great, And I said, really
good point, thanks mom, I'm helpful, But yeah, I think
you're totally right. It's the start of that preventative conversation.
(03:22):
And my take on it is exactly what you just said.
My personal take is that a lot of this preventative
jargon is like a buzzword to make more money, because
then it helps you get those younger customers and you're
convinced you're creating what any pharmaceutical or cosmetic brand wants,
which is a lifelong customer. They want that it's a business.
(03:42):
And then I think the other part of it is
that this generation is dealing with seeing themselves and their
peers and strangers literally through filters all the time on
social media, Instagram, TikTok, whatever, everything is through a filter
with great lighting constantly. Even movies are made like in filters.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
Now.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
You and I watch the original Top Gun the other
day and we're like, oh my god, is that what
real skin and real teeth look like? Like movies are
so airbrush now that nobody is seeing just regular skin anymore.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Nobody has a line, nobody has a It is really
bizarre and it's and again it is one hundred percent
the pharmaceuticals in that world making money.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
I think what we have to listen to is like
go to just the older people, you know, Like that's
why I went to my mom and my mom said this,
and I agree. I don't think anybody needs to be
doing much to their face in their twenties other than
like use a wash your face and use a moistureizer.
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Let me just say from someone who's in their fifties,
that's the best you're going to look. That is the
best in your teens, in your twenties, even in your thirties.
That is the best your skin is ever going to look.
You have all the collagen, you have, the youth, you have,
the lie plasticity, you have, the moisture. That's it, good, bad, ugly.
(05:05):
That's the best you're gonna do. Your skin will age,
you will get older. It's a beautiful thing. It's okay.
It's okay to have lines. And it scares me that
you're right. I think there is this generation that is
living to be a filtered version of themselves.
Speaker 2 (05:22):
And I don't blame them. It's unfail subject.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
I hate that we have created these things that put
that on them. But the other thing is the medical.
So there's the you know, the social side of things,
but then there's the actual health and the medical side
of things. These fillers we're gonna we need to have
a professional one that we can really dive into. These fillers.
Somebody had a great line about logic is quick and immediate,
(05:48):
science moves slow. We don't know the ripple effect of
all these things. Nobody can tell you scientifically yet. Really
what the long term effects of ozembic are. Nobody can
tell you science yet, what the long term effects of
fillers are. We're getting to that point. It's that around
that twenty year span, it's starting to come out, and
the things that are coming out aren't great of what
(06:10):
we're putting in our body.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Well, again, this is just something I read, but I
did see the other day that there's new research now
that like they allegedly I don't know which filler this
was about, but I think overall, people were told they
just dissolve into your body after like a matter of months,
and really people they're finding now like remnants of this
stuff after more than a decade. I mean, you're injecting
(06:31):
a substance into your body, like that's you know, the
real thing you're doing, and so I think you just
have to be careful with that. Like I wonder too,
you know, like when people are getting lip filler at
a young age, what's that doing to the skin of
your lips? How much is that stretching it out? And again,
is that a desire to create a lifelong customer. Well,
now you're always going to need lip filler because you
stretch the skin out. I got particularly shocked the other day.
(06:55):
If anyone has seen this, go look it up now.
I believe it's the UK version of the new season
of Love Island. So there's women on this show and
their photos are going viral because people are like, wait,
how old are they? I glanced at these photos. I
thought one of these women was in their forties, and
I think in reality, they're all in their twenties. And
(07:16):
then I saw a video where a plastic surgeon was
shown the photos with no context and asked, how old
do you think these women are and what we'red And
for each one he's like, oh yeah, filler, botox, like surgery, lips, nose,
And for each one he thought she was like ten
years or more older than she was. So that's another thing.
(07:37):
Is I think the fillers and stuff it actually younger
people are starting to look older. It is it's hard
for women. There is for sure still this societal norm
that like I don't know why or where this comes from.
Maybe it's because they get more mature and that sexy
to women. But for some reason, we all have it
in us that like, men get sexier as they get
older and women do not, and so we're always fighting
(08:01):
that age clock. And I don't know where that culturally
comes from. If it is something the beauty industry started
years ago, if it is like if there's real physical
attraction basis in that, I don't know, but it's frustrating
as a woman for sure. The other day, a few
weeks ago, maybe Kristin Davis, the actress from Sex and
the City, revealed that she'd had all of her fillers dissolved,
(08:25):
and the before and after photos, I thought she looked
so much better.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
After Jennifer Aniston just had that mishap of the shadows
and the lines, and people were like a lot of
a lot of professionals and doctors have pointed out that
it's it was a bad filler incident and it created
this ridge under her eyes and now it's casting shadows
and so you could see it on the red carpet,
those those weren't there.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Look, I'm not anti botox. I think botox has been
around long enough. Like I've seen my mom and all
her friends use it for decades.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
There's the research.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Now, Yeah, I think it's fine. I just think the fillers,
it's like, you know, the fillers from what I've read,
move around quite a lot in your face, so you
just have to be careful with that stuff. And I
I hate that, you know, younger people feel like they
have to do all this, Like I now in my thirties.
Here's what I would tell my twenty something self. Drink water,
eat nutrients, stay out of the sun. That's what I
(09:12):
would say.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
Wear sunscreen.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
Yeah, I mean that's what's funny too, is a lot
of like the college age kids we know, they have
like these twenty step skincare routines and then they go tanning.
They're like checking the UV on their phone. I'm like, babe,
the vitamin C serum is not going to help get
out of the sun. Yeah. And by the way, like
that's just a basic Like I look at my own
body and I can already see that the places that
(09:34):
were exposed to the sun where I have more sun damage. Now,
so it's that simple. What would you tell your twenty
something self?
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I agree of sunscreen, because when I the funnyest.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Serious question when you were a twenty something frat boy.
Oh god, no, did you even use a face wash?
Speaker 1 (09:50):
You think? No, No, you've used probably like per plus
and used it for everything that dove bar right to
the face for sure. I mean that's again, that's the
be of youth is you can get away with that.
You can eat anything you want. You shouldn't, but you know,
if you go back, it's like what I eat better? Sure?
What I drink better? Yes, like be hydrated and wear
(10:10):
sunscreen and all those things. The funny thing is is
it got to the point where, you know, say you
went to the lake or you did something specifically to
be in the sun, you would think sunscreen even back then.
But when we were on our day to day lives
of going to play golf or going to play soccer,
which I did for the majority of my life, we
didn't wear sunscreen men, so we all just got burned
to a crisp. But I guess my main advice to
(10:33):
those out there younger is if it sounds too good
to be true, it usually is. If there is a
magical drug, if there's a magical elixir that you put
in your body, it is probably too good to be true.
And that logic should really stand out stronger. Because science
(10:56):
moves slowly, we won't know the ramifications for this, but
there will be. I promise you, I guarantee you there
are ramifications for ozembic. We don't know what they are yet. Fully,
just to take this stuff as a weight loss or
to put fillers in your face, there's going to be
a ripple effect of this. There always is. History tells
us this, and eventually so will science.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Quick sweet headline to end on, so good to see
Kate Middleton out and about oh my gosh, showed up
at the I believe Trooping of the Color. I'm gonna
have to look up the technical headline or technical name
of that event.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
The Trooping of the Color.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But I mean, now we can finally let like the
She's secretly dead AI video rumors to rest, because I mean,
I was done with them when she released that video,
talking directly to camera, but people were still like, it's aim.
I'm glad to see her out and looking great. Her
outfit was gorgeous. She were this beautiful black and white
(12:05):
outfit out at this event for King Charles, and it
was just nice to see her out. She posted a
health update saying she's still kind of working on all
of her cancer stuff, but it was great to see
her make a public appearance and be with her family,
and she just looked stunning. So I thought that that
was really nice, and I.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Would like to end on a positive note as well.
Another positive headline. Congratulations to George Strait, Parker McCollum, our
good friend, and Katie Offerman. The three of them combined
for what has turned out to be the largest concert
in US history.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Over one hundred and ten thousand people piled into Kyle
Field Den in College Station, Texas over the weekend for
the biggest concert in US history. George Strait the headliner,
Parker McCollum a headliner in his own right, but was
honored on his birthday to be on the card with George,
straight the first time those two great Texans have been together,
(13:09):
and an up and coming talent, Katie Offferman one hundred
and ten thousand. Here's what I want. I want the booze,
I want the hot dog sales. I want to know,
like how many beers were drink how many drinks were consumed? Wow,
one hundred and ten thousand Texans and one of the
degrees were how hot was in a lot of people
(13:30):
have talked about how hot it was because it was
very hot. It was a hot weekend. But man, I've
seen the pictures, the drone footage above Kyle Field. It
was in the round, so spectacular, and again, congratulations. It's
just such a cool thing that in this day and
age where we really just desire to be together in
these big events, it was cool to see that happening again.
(13:51):
So just a cool Texas happening over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
So happy for Parker. He's worked so hard, and happy
birthday brother. His music is awesome and we just love
him and his wife Hallie Ray and they're expecting their
first little one, so it's a really good exciting time. Yeah.
Live events, that's another thing too, is like I keep
reading about how live events are going to really be
(14:15):
the thing in the next couple of years because AI
is gonna make things not need to be so live anymore. God,
So let's enjoy those moments of togetherness and humanity that
we have.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
