Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to the MATHSNY podcast, and welcome
Speaker 1: to Part four of this little Bali investigation series into
Speaker 1: the world's fastest growing cosmetic surgery craze, which is rib recontouring,
Speaker 1: which still sounds quite silly to say, if I'm being honest,
Speaker 1: and welcome to a plot twist that I don't think
Speaker 1: any of us saw coming, because I can now let
Speaker 1: you know that Beck did not go through with her
Speaker 1: scheduled procedure and at this moment right now as I'm recording,
Speaker 1: her ribs remain exactly as God intended them to be.
Speaker 1: And Yeah, the last twenty four hours or so here
Speaker 1: in Bali, amongst all these influencers, who most of them
Speaker 1: have now had it done, has just been quite the world.
Speaker 1: When if I'm going to be honest, and before we
Speaker 1: get into what happened and why Beck didn't go through
Speaker 1: with it and why she changed her mind, I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna take you to the very start of the day,
Speaker 1: which was Beck and I on the back of a
Speaker 1: golf buggie randomly, because that's what takes these influencers, like
Speaker 1: the literal ninety second journey from the resort to the
Speaker 1: fancy cosmetic surgery hospital place, which is all like in
Speaker 1: the same wellness complex, which I didn't even know what
Speaker 1: there was a thing. I thought Balley was just bin
Speaker 1: Tang singlets and drunk Australians.
Speaker 2: But no, there's a whole.
Speaker 1: Wellness resort anyway. Yeah, here is Beck and I at
Speaker 1: the start of the day as she was on her
Speaker 1: way to surgery, right on the way.
Speaker 3: To hospital, on the way getting nervous.
Speaker 4: Yeah, this feels a bit weird.
Speaker 2: I've never taken a golf.
Speaker 3: From like a beautiful five star resort to a five
Speaker 3: star hospital.
Speaker 5: It's wild, right, Are you nervous for me?
Speaker 2: Slightly?
Speaker 5: You think I'm crazy?
Speaker 2: Yes, I also think it's not.
Speaker 4: Too late to back out.
Speaker 5: You've been telling me to back out from the moment.
Speaker 5: I've got you literally every minute of the day. Don't
Speaker 5: do it, don't do it. Don't do it.
Speaker 4: Because I know your story more than all the other girls,
Speaker 4: and like everyone's got the wrong reason. But I just
Speaker 4: don't think you're ready. I'm not a psychologist or on purpose,
Speaker 4: but that's my taking it.
Speaker 3: Well mentally in the best place I've ever been, like
Speaker 3: and you can see that surely, Like I'm fine, I'm
Speaker 3: not sitting here like who.
Speaker 5: I'm not sitting here?
Speaker 6: Like my life is shit.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: When I came to Ballet to do this, I had
Speaker 1: initially planned on documenting every single part of this whole journey,
Speaker 1: including like as Beck was marked up you know inside there,
Speaker 1: like draw on their bodies or and all that stuff
Speaker 1: and get them in the gowns. But as we arrived
Speaker 1: at the hospital, instead of going like upstairs with Beck,
Speaker 1: I actually thought, I'm not sure I want to do
Speaker 1: that anymore or be that present for like every single step,
Speaker 1: and I thought maybe my documentation should pick up just
Speaker 1: later in the day once Beck has like woken up
Speaker 1: and she's back at the hotel were staying.
Speaker 6: And this is where I think I'm going to leave
Speaker 6: you because I don't actually think I want to document
Speaker 6: beyond this.
Speaker 3: I just.
Speaker 2: I'm laughing the light. You can just back out. I
Speaker 2: will wish you luck and see you on the other side.
Speaker 1: But now, and here is the interesting thing, because as
Speaker 1: I returned to the hotel after we just filmed that
Speaker 1: last cliff and Beck went upstairs, I was planning and
Speaker 1: just hanging out by the pool for the day because
Speaker 1: I thought, hey, she's going to be at least what
Speaker 1: three four hours, like even though the procedure is only
Speaker 1: forty minutes itself.
Speaker 2: You know, there's all the pre.
Speaker 1: Surgery stuff, post surgery stuff like the checks and the
Speaker 1: you know, there's actually this belief I'm seeing a lot
Speaker 1: like I wouldn't trust going to Ballet for surgery. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't trust these overseas hospitals. And I'm going to be honest,
Speaker 1: I felt the same prior to coming here, but having
Speaker 1: seen this whole area, like, I am actually impressed that,
Speaker 1: to be honest, it's nicer than the hospital I went
Speaker 1: to in Sydney.
Speaker 2: And they take all this stuff like.
Speaker 1: Very very very very very very seriously, to the point
Speaker 1: that it seems a bit unnecessary.
Speaker 2: But that's a good thing anyway.
Speaker 1: What I'm trying to say is I came back here
Speaker 1: expecting to like actually have what could be half a
Speaker 1: day of holiday here in Bali where I could.
Speaker 2: Drink a bin tang by the pool.
Speaker 1: Because this whole thing has randomly taken quite a toll
Speaker 1: on me in a weird way.
Speaker 2: Like it's been.
Speaker 1: I find it hard to switch off quite a lot
Speaker 1: in my life. I go from pro it's to project
Speaker 1: and when I'm in a project, I get very invested.
Speaker 1: I can't just like be on the outside looking in
Speaker 1: and do like a surface level thing. I often find
Speaker 1: and this is a problem sometimes, but also you could
Speaker 1: say it to a positive because it means I give
Speaker 1: my everything to everything. But like with this, I did
Speaker 1: think i'd also be able to like come on document this.
Speaker 2: And have a little bit of a holiday. But even
Speaker 2: in the few hours here and there I've had where
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: Need to work or edit or record or speak to people,
Speaker 1: I just haven't been able to switch off and relax
Speaker 1: because I think I'm just thinking about this all constantly
Speaker 1: and how silly I find it, and how I wish
Speaker 1: we could change things, but hey, we can't anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: So I planned and having half the day to myself
Speaker 1: to chill, but then my phone pings and it was
Speaker 1: back and I hadn't even made it to the pool
Speaker 1: yet and ordered a bintang and she's like, I'm coming back,
Speaker 1: and I'm like wait, and she had changed her mind,
Speaker 1: and I was like, wait what, I literally just left
Speaker 1: you at the hospital, And as she said she was
Speaker 1: coming back, I was like, oh shit. So I immediately
Speaker 1: like grabbed the mics and sorry the camera guy and
Speaker 1: like set up for once she was back and ready
Speaker 1: to explain everything, and yeah, here is me and back
Speaker 1: talking once she did make it back to the hotel.
Speaker 3: So you didn't get the surgery done, no, So I
Speaker 3: went to the hospital, like all the other girls have got.
Speaker 5: It done now, and.
Speaker 3: They all seem happy, they're not in agony.
Speaker 5: I went to the hospital. It's state of the art.
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, like one of the most amazing hospitals I've
Speaker 3: ever seen in my life.
Speaker 5: But you but I didn't know if.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I walked in and I thought, you know, am
Speaker 3: I ready? Is this what I want to do?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I just think that I'm gonna take a little bit
Speaker 3: of time to think about it a little bit more.
Speaker 6: I'm happy or taking j I even like, I don't
Speaker 6: know what you're gonna do. I'm gonna go back to Australia.
Speaker 6: You said you're gonna stay in Ballei.
Speaker 5: For an extra way, so yeah, like, yeah.
Speaker 6: It isn't something too rushing, and I know you get
Speaker 6: this opportunity and it seems great and exciting. All these
Speaker 6: other girls and they're all doing it for the wrong reasons,
Speaker 6: as I just say, they're walking around the result now
Speaker 6: in those corset things, after having it done and their
Speaker 6: all living life.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but that's their story.
Speaker 2: They've got their reasons.
Speaker 6: A lot of them are even like their sayings was
Speaker 6: like they loved their body before, but they would love
Speaker 6: this change, which again that's on them.
Speaker 5: Mm. But for you, and I.
Speaker 6: Suppose you're the one I'm kind of here documenting most,
Speaker 6: it's different story.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I think.
Speaker 3: I think there's just a lot to think about, isn't there.
Speaker 3: You know, And at the end of the day, you know,
Speaker 3: I'm not being pressured to do this. You know, the
Speaker 3: the the the company that's brought me out here isn't
Speaker 3: pressuring me saying you've got to get it done.
Speaker 5: You to do this, you got to do that. So
Speaker 5: I have full I have the full ability.
Speaker 3: To make that decision as to whether or not it's
Speaker 3: something that aligns with me and what I like, if
Speaker 3: I want.
Speaker 5: To do it.
Speaker 3: And so getting to the hospital today, you know, and
Speaker 3: you know I've made friends with all of these girls now,
Speaker 3: friends that I'll have for life with them. But yeah,
Speaker 3: I walked in and I thought, I'm not ready yet.
Speaker 3: I don't know if I will be ready. I don't
Speaker 3: know if I'm going to go ahead and get it done.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I've got given myself an extra week
Speaker 3: here in Bali to decide. But from a standpoint of
Speaker 3: you know, my surroundings and the doctors and the hospital
Speaker 3: stop notch, stop notch.
Speaker 5: So I felt comfortable there. It's just.
Speaker 3: Is this going to align for me and my body
Speaker 3: and my and what I want. And that's what I'm
Speaker 3: still working out. It's not a no, but it's not
Speaker 3: a you know, it's not a yes right now. So
Speaker 3: I'm just gonna give myself some breathing room and some
Speaker 3: thinking room and work out what I want to do.
Speaker 3: And I think that that's fair, right, Yeah, I think
Speaker 3: it's fair.
Speaker 6: I will say that what you said just off off camera.
Speaker 6: Then you're going to go see a spiritual healing get
Speaker 6: them to help make the decision. Yeah, really the best
Speaker 6: way to approaches.
Speaker 3: But I saw it's really six spiritual hero on the
Speaker 3: beach before, so I thought I might maybe go and
Speaker 3: get some maybe get go and get some help from
Speaker 3: the universe and.
Speaker 6: Get some guidance, not get them to make a decision.
Speaker 5: I'll get some gardens.
Speaker 3: They won't make the decision for me. Although no, they
Speaker 3: won't make the decision for me. But yeah, I'm gonna
Speaker 3: go and get some garden.
Speaker 6: Cuts. It with you. I suppose don't leave me in Australia.
Speaker 6: I'm full of.
Speaker 5: Bites. Look, let's just see. Hey, let's just see.
Speaker 3: I'm excited, but I'm also cautious and I I think
Speaker 3: I've made the right decision to stop.
Speaker 5: Think, chill, see.
Speaker 3: The girls, interact with the girls, see how they feel.
Speaker 3: I know that they're all very happy at the moment.
Speaker 3: They have no regrets. But I'm just gonna take a
Speaker 3: little moment for myself.
Speaker 6: I feel like you haven't done that this year at all.
Speaker 6: Everything's been a whirl wind since the day you were
Speaker 6: announced for Maths.
Speaker 5: Oh it's been wild.
Speaker 3: Like I am lucky enough, like you know I even
Speaker 3: you posted it, Like I'm getting more work than any
Speaker 3: other person from Maths. Right, So I'm super lucky. But
Speaker 3: I haven't had a moment to just chill. I haven't
Speaker 3: had a moment to actually just sit still, like I've
Speaker 3: been home for a matter of days in the past
Speaker 3: three months, like I live in airports. So yeah, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna take this week to relax, really think, read journal,
Speaker 3: and work out. What I see for myself. You know,
Speaker 3: everyone keeps on going on about how I need therapy
Speaker 3: and I need mental help and whatnot. I'm very in
Speaker 3: tune with myself and what I need and what I want.
Speaker 3: I am. You know, people can make assumptions from snippets
Speaker 3: that they see of my life on social media, but
Speaker 3: I know who I am, and I think that it
Speaker 3: takes courage to sit here and go, well, actually, I
Speaker 3: am taking a step back to think about it, you know,
Speaker 3: Like I think that that shows growth. I think that
Speaker 3: that shows that my intuition and I listen to my
Speaker 3: guard and yeah, I'm not saying it's a no though
Speaker 3: by any means, but right now it's a hold up.
Speaker 2: So yeah, there you have it. Guys.
Speaker 1: What happens next, who knows, But I suppose the takeaway
Speaker 1: here for everyone from this little series is don't rush
Speaker 1: into things like this. Don't get carried away and caught
Speaker 1: up in the excitement when there's a new thing or
Speaker 1: something's being offered to you, or your friends are doing something,
Speaker 1: or you've seen an influencer you like do something and like,
Speaker 1: just yeah, don't rush into making decisions that you can't undo.
Speaker 1: And this isn't even just about surgery. That's about everything
Speaker 1: in life, right. You know, take as much time as
Speaker 1: you want with it, and even if it's a big decision,
Speaker 1: even when you think you've made your mind up and
Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, but I'm gonna do it, like, even
Speaker 1: take another week if you have to, to really sit
Speaker 1: with that choice and think about the risk versus reward,
Speaker 1: think about why you're doing it, and you know, keep
Speaker 1: asking yourself, am I doing this for myself or for others?
Speaker 1: And you know, is this a decision I've made for
Speaker 1: myself or haven't made it because society has made me
Speaker 1: feel a certain way and other people or things or
Speaker 1: just the world has made you want to do this?
Speaker 2: And you know, even.
Speaker 1: Ask yourself, do I love myself before I do this?
Speaker 1: And do I see it as an enhancement that you're
Speaker 1: happy with or without, rather than seeing it as what
Speaker 1: like a fixture that you think you need to try
Speaker 1: and potentially compensate for something else. Again, with most of
Speaker 1: this series you've listened to from BALI, I haven't written
Speaker 1: much of a script here. I just got scraps of
Speaker 1: notes and many thoughts in my head. So I hope
Speaker 1: this is making sense as I speak into the void
Speaker 1: of my hotel suite before I pack up to go
Speaker 1: back to Sydney, because yeah, I kind of miss home,
Speaker 1: to be honest, But yeah, this series. I came here
Speaker 1: with no idea what to expect for me. At least,
Speaker 1: it's been quite a journey, quite a ride. I hope
Speaker 1: you've enjoyed it, and I hope the messaging that I
Speaker 1: got to while working this out here on ground has
Speaker 1: resonated with someone is being conveyed properly. And I'll potentially
Speaker 1: do another final app once I'm back home or can
Speaker 1: articulate myself a little bit better when I'm not.
Speaker 2: Just hit fuck.
Speaker 1: I can't have and speak here still in the thick
Speaker 1: of everything, with a million things racing around my mind.
Speaker 1: But yeah, thank you for listening, watching, commenting, getting involved
Speaker 1: all that lovely stuff.
Speaker 2: And I will Yeah, see you, guys, I will. I'm
Speaker 2: not going to see it. I'll chat to you again.
Speaker 2: I don't know what.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, say it. Actually, no, I do have a
Speaker 1: better way to end this. Stop changing your ribs, everyone,
Speaker 1: just stop it. It's silly, and if you really want
Speaker 1: to do it, spend a few weeks thinking why are
Speaker 1: you doing it? And then make your mind up? But
Speaker 1: also do we need to change your ribs? And okay,
Speaker 1: we're changing our ribs, Now what are we going to
Speaker 1: change next?
Speaker 2: A kidneys? I don't even know. I'm study a shirtless
Speaker 2: doing this.
Speaker 5: Its hard.
Speaker 1: I don't even know where my kidneys are, to be honest,
Speaker 1: or why I would need to change them. But then again,
Speaker 1: I didn't even know people would want to change the
Speaker 1: ribs unless you're Marrily Manson, like I said in a
Speaker 1: couple of episodes back, because we all know the rumor
Speaker 1: there that he did that too. Now, this isn't how
Speaker 1: I want to end this series by going back to
Speaker 1: the Marrily Manson rumor that he removed ribs to Sucky's
Speaker 1: own penis.
Speaker 2: But maybe that's how we do end it.
Speaker 1: Say it
