Speaker 1: at your message. If you hit me up on exactly Amada.
Speaker 1: This is a very it's somewhat of a taboo topic. Okay,
Speaker 1: a lot of people don't want to talk about it.
Speaker 1: I guess social media has made it a little bit
Speaker 1: more open to talk about cosmetic surgery. And I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna give a little bit of my personal experience with
Speaker 1: a cosmetic surgery. A lot of people have asked me
Speaker 1: in the past, have you gotten anything done all the MEDA.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you the truth. I at one point
Speaker 1: in life I felt a self conscious because I had
Speaker 1: what I call, you know, like the mom tits. But
Speaker 1: I guess what, I got them done. Big deal if
Speaker 1: you want to change something about yourself, new paper. So
Speaker 1: I had a lot of ass, you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of hips and a little tiny tits. So I said,
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm gonna get my boobs done. I
Speaker 1: got them done, and then I was like, I actually
Speaker 1: didn't even want them that bad because you kind of
Speaker 1: go for the trend. You don't even know if you're
Speaker 1: doing it for yourself anymore, or if you're doing it
Speaker 1: for society, or if you're doing it to satisfy your
Speaker 1: partner or there's so many reasons why people get plastic
Speaker 1: surgery and something to men. Men also get cosmetic surgery
Speaker 1: and we don't talk about it. Is it a taboo topic?
Speaker 1: Does it make you feel uncomfortable as men? Would you
Speaker 1: ever get it done? Would you ever tell anyone that
Speaker 1: you got it done? Is it a secret? I want
Speaker 1: to talk all about it. And that's why about my
Speaker 1: producer friend, Homeboy and all that good stuff. Alex boos popping,
Speaker 1: what's going on? I can't wait to talk about what
Speaker 1: men get done. It's gonna be fun. Yeah. I heard
Speaker 1: that they also have fillers for your dingling. They got
Speaker 1: all types of things going on. WHOA, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll see, well, we'll see. Well. Yeah, today's gonna be
Speaker 1: Today's gonna be a good topic. And you know what.
Speaker 1: The good thing about it is that we have a very,
Speaker 1: very fun and special guest that has joined us today. Yes.
Speaker 1: He is a stand up comedian who can be seen
Speaker 1: on Netflix's series Mister Eglesias. He's also the host of
Speaker 1: Tacos Contoto, where he navigates the l a taco scene
Speaker 1: with celebrity. Yes he is. His sues What's up? He sues,
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show, What's up? Thank you for having
Speaker 1: me to talk about like surgeries and that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Who better than uh, we're looking comedian, Hey, sus train. Yeah,
Speaker 1: if we're gonna talk about cosmetic surgeries, there's so many.
Speaker 1: The first one that I would consider is fixing my teeth.
Speaker 1: People tell me my bottom teeth look like downtown to
Speaker 1: Lee from far away. Oh my god, I'm dead. Okay,
Speaker 1: so so why haven't you done it? Let's let's talk
Speaker 1: about it too, on some real shit though, Let's talk
Speaker 1: about it because I know a lot of people that
Speaker 1: it's not the Financially they don't have it, like it's
Speaker 1: not like they can do it. But there's people that
Speaker 1: fear going to the dentist. I don't like people digging
Speaker 1: in my mouth, or there's people get they don't like
Speaker 1: to go to don't like people digging in my eye.
Speaker 1: So is that maybe one of the reasons or what
Speaker 1: is it? I think you said it earlier. When you
Speaker 1: go through a journey, you maybe get something done and
Speaker 1: then kind of have like why did I do it?
Speaker 1: Or your following the t and you know it's like
Speaker 1: I think initially for me it was it was more financial.
Speaker 1: It's like, oh I don't have the means. You know,
Speaker 1: you you start poking around on the internet and you
Speaker 1: start seeing these number, these numbers being kicked around, and
Speaker 1: you're like, oh, man, I'm in no place right now,
Speaker 1: Like I'm not gonna pay for teeth right now when
Speaker 1: I can transmission. Yeah, yeah, yeah, drop ten bands. You know,
Speaker 1: later in life it might sound like, oh, that's no problem,
Speaker 1: ten bands easy, but at a certain point in life
Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know if I could do that,
Speaker 1: and then you know, you start looking around it. After
Speaker 1: a while you're like, for me personally, it's like I
Speaker 1: wanted to get them done for so long, and then
Speaker 1: it was like, all right, I think I'm in a
Speaker 1: position to get them done, and I'm like, does get Paquet?
Speaker 1: You know, she might get him fail when she put them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean this is who I am, taking me as
Speaker 1: I am, and not for nothing, let's talk about it.
Speaker 1: Some teeth are actually like signature looks like once you
Speaker 1: change your teeth, for example, like your face don't be
Speaker 1: looking the same. Not everybody. For example. I'm a big
Speaker 1: fan of se La Cruze. La Cruz was one of
Speaker 1: the things that she would really famous for was that
Speaker 1: gap in the middle of her teeth. The day she
Speaker 1: would have changed it, like your face would have been different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: my signature, like my teeth, I think at this point,
Speaker 1: are definitely a signature. That's how I know which sandwich
Speaker 1: is mine. If I walk away, I'm like, Oh, this
Speaker 1: one's mine for sure, the one with the with the
Speaker 1: shark bite in it. Oh my god. Okay, so wait,
Speaker 1: hold on your teeth? What give me three things? Do
Speaker 1: you want to change with cosmetic surgery or anybody updates?
Speaker 1: If you could your teeth? What else? Two more things?
Speaker 1: Another one that I'm excited to talk to you about
Speaker 1: is this whole Like, so I'm completely bald. I mean
Speaker 1: it's like, so I started balding very early, like i'd say,
Speaker 1: like nineteen twenty. I started seeing signs and then I
Speaker 1: had a comb over for a long time, which people
Speaker 1: are like, why why did you have that? And I
Speaker 1: think for a guy, the hairline is a big deal.
Speaker 1: It's like a confidence thing. Why, oh my god, girls
Speaker 1: girls love bald man girls. I know this now, but
Speaker 1: back then, it's like, you know, I was holding onto
Speaker 1: this come over. I looked like MC cracking. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like with this comb over, literally my come over
Speaker 1: would go from my left ear and like I combed
Speaker 1: it and it reached my right ear at the top
Speaker 1: of the ear. It was a one piece. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was you know those samples that you see like
Speaker 1: when like you go get like a hair dye and
Speaker 1: they gave me like a little strand of hair. Yeah,
Speaker 1: as he said, yeah, it looked like I had a
Speaker 1: bunch of samples. It was bad. I can't The top
Speaker 1: of my head looked like a barcode. It was. It
Speaker 1: was bad, man. But back then I thought it looked good,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean it's like I accidentally like kneeled
Speaker 1: in front of a self checkout and you know how
Speaker 1: they got the little scan thing and rang up as
Speaker 1: it's scanned the top of my head scanned. It's a
Speaker 1: rogue game. But yeah, I'm sure that though, I mean
Speaker 1: I did okay, I could have done better, because you know,
Speaker 1: I mean if I would have just accepted, you know,
Speaker 1: all joking aside, It's like, I think the hair isn't
Speaker 1: a big it's how the male kind of deals with it.
Speaker 1: It's like the quicker I would have shaved my head.
Speaker 1: That's perceived as a confidence thing. But but you know,
Speaker 1: being self conscious, it's like, you know, there's procedures out there,
Speaker 1: like for to get hair implants and that kind of thing,
Speaker 1: and and I don't know that I would get that either,
Speaker 1: because it's like I kind of like the ball look now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's like I also save a lot on shampoo.
Speaker 1: What about you, Alex? Yeah, So funny story. I used
Speaker 1: to work. I was a video producer for a cosmetic
Speaker 1: practice plastic surgeon, and everything you guys are talking about
Speaker 1: was everything that I saw coming in. So I would
Speaker 1: basically make these educational videos for him. And we were
Speaker 1: set to start a reality show based on cosmetic surgeries, right,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately, you know, COVID hit. But I saw all
Speaker 1: of this happening. I saw dudes coming in and asking
Speaker 1: for PRP, which is basically that where they mix your
Speaker 1: blood with your with other things things like cormons, and
Speaker 1: they inject them in your head and your hair just
Speaker 1: regrows back. Yeah. I saw dudes coming in and doing
Speaker 1: their chiseled chins and and other things like abs and
Speaker 1: muscles and all this stuff. But anyway, hold on, as
Speaker 1: you can get abs, you can get implants, and we'll
Speaker 1: get into that. Yeah, we're gonna get into that later
Speaker 1: in the show. Yeah, but you can get implants. But
Speaker 1: for me myself, what I saw was I'm a big
Speaker 1: I'm six foot five, right, and I don't have a belly.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not fairing. I'm just a big dude, right.
Speaker 1: But I always I've always felt a little bit conscious about,
Speaker 1: you know, just a tiny fat you know around. I'm
Speaker 1: also it's like a dad bought type of thing, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm a dad, so okay, yeah, and I don't have
Speaker 1: love handles either like that. But I've always looked at myself.
Speaker 1: I'm like, maybe I could get that sucked out, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's super flat. But then I'm like, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, leave it there, you know, because you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I personally, this is gonna sound trash.
Speaker 1: I personally like my man to have a little tummy.
Speaker 1: I like a man that has a little tummy. I
Speaker 1: know that a lot of guys are out there working out,
Speaker 1: you know, in the gym, they're working out their apps.
Speaker 1: Go for it. It makes you feel good, it's whatever
Speaker 1: makes you happy. But I like a man that has
Speaker 1: a little tommy. Come okay, I feel conna get your
Speaker 1: own hand, Come get and don't say I like the
Speaker 1: sound effect. You know what I'm saying, lady, You know
Speaker 1: that sound effect. Yes, that's why you need that tummy effect.
Speaker 1: So ladies, if you agree, hey hit it, hit me
Speaker 1: up at exactly amount and tell me about that time experience.
Speaker 1: But the truth is there has been a rise in
Speaker 1: cosmetic surgery, especially due to social media and the standards
Speaker 1: that we see. We see so much pressure. That's why
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel it's a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: on social media for men and for women as well
Speaker 1: to have these perfect bodies that realistically you went and
Speaker 1: you paid for it, and then you're just in the
Speaker 1: gym taking like you know, booty picks and doing all
Speaker 1: that extra stuff. Do you feel that social media has
Speaker 1: put a lot of pressure on us in the way
Speaker 1: that we see each other's bodies. I think so. I think.
Speaker 1: I think social media that's the one of the huge negatives.
Speaker 1: It's like it makes people second guess who they are
Speaker 1: and what they have. Is like, sometimes people have great
Speaker 1: genetics and they look a certain way, right, some people
Speaker 1: have different genetics and they look a certain way. But
Speaker 1: it's like to second guess and to feel some type
Speaker 1: of way about your body just because you look at
Speaker 1: somebody else. It's like the worst thing in life, period
Speaker 1: is to compare yourself to somebody else. And I think
Speaker 1: social media facilitates this thing that we should not be doing,
Speaker 1: you know. And yeah, it's kind of a bummer, it
Speaker 1: really is, because it's like you know, comst I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, you do what you can, and you know,
Speaker 1: you live a lifestyle that you're able to and if
Speaker 1: there's something, you know, like hopefully there's a change you
Speaker 1: can make. But yeah, it's kind of it's kind of
Speaker 1: a bummer. I think, you know, kids nowadays are growing
Speaker 1: up with this thing, which I think before it was
Speaker 1: like once you get to a certain age, like I
Speaker 1: don't you know, that's natural. I mean I like this,
Speaker 1: I have this love hand, I have this that's natural,
Speaker 1: I guess. But now kids are growing up with that,
Speaker 1: and I think that's that can be very toxic, especially
Speaker 1: also for the young girls. We see a lot of
Speaker 1: these you know, babies, so ninyas um that are looking
Speaker 1: up to what these new standards of beauty are based off.
Speaker 1: With all due respect, and I you know, I admire
Speaker 1: her hustle, I admire her growth based off you know,
Speaker 1: the way that she started off her career. But let's
Speaker 1: just use a perfect example of like a Kim Kardashian. Right,
Speaker 1: you have all these young girls or even urban artists
Speaker 1: um that are now quote unquote the new trends. They
Speaker 1: are the new standard of beauty. And we're looking at
Speaker 1: your ten year old daughter or little sister looking up
Speaker 1: to My body needs to look like this. My butt
Speaker 1: is not big enough, my lips are not big enough.
Speaker 1: My I need to have bigger boobs, my waist is
Speaker 1: too big. I need this get like I don't and
Speaker 1: and not for nothing. I too want to have like
Speaker 1: you know, I too want to have this perfect body,
Speaker 1: which it doesn't exist. I feel that women go through
Speaker 1: more pressure than men do. Now from a man's perspective,
Speaker 1: do you, as men, Alex, do you guys feel that
Speaker 1: social media also gives a lot of pressure to men
Speaker 1: or do you not feel as much pressure when you
Speaker 1: see these fine you know ten pack men are extra
Speaker 1: buff and doesn't give you any pressure? You're like, I
Speaker 1: mean I think there's some pressure. Yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: like I think that goes with Again, It's like, if
Speaker 1: you're busy enough to not pay attention to the to
Speaker 1: the social media stuff, you're like I'm doing this, I'm
Speaker 1: working towards a goal. It's like I think I don't
Speaker 1: hands are are Yeah, that's where the devil's in the details,
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah. I mean it's like, um, yeah, if
Speaker 1: you're genuinely happy, I think you're not fazed by it.
Speaker 1: But it's like I am guilty of looking these things
Speaker 1: online and like feeling some kind of pressure. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: I gotta go out there and run and I gotta
Speaker 1: you know, have the six pack, the full set of hair,
Speaker 1: the cool bright you know teeth that you know this
Speaker 1: and that it. It's like in all reality, it's like
Speaker 1: I am who I am, and you know those things
Speaker 1: won't won't change who I am. I hope not. I
Speaker 1: mean it's like by me getting those things, you're not
Speaker 1: gonna get this cooler version of me. It's like I
Speaker 1: am who I am, and you know it's like I
Speaker 1: two people would respect. What about you, Alice? Do you
Speaker 1: ever feel pressure from society or social media or anything
Speaker 1: like that? So like oh yeah, man, Like, um, I've
Speaker 1: I've I've grown up. I was always the fat, chubby
Speaker 1: little boy back in school. So um, we didn't have
Speaker 1: social media, right, we had magazine covers and we're like,
Speaker 1: oh man, I want to look like that. So you
Speaker 1: know you kind of like always worked out or took
Speaker 1: fat burners back in the day, you know, staggered threees
Speaker 1: or whatever. Oh my god, you remember that. And now
Speaker 1: it's been multiplied by by the fact that social media
Speaker 1: you have these picture perfect bodies all the time everywhere.
Speaker 1: So for me it was a challenge to understand is
Speaker 1: that what healthy looks like? Right? So is that what
Speaker 1: healthy looks like? Because mentally, it's not healthy for me
Speaker 1: to think like that where I need to look like
Speaker 1: that in order to be healthy, because I go to
Speaker 1: the doctor, I get all my tests done, and I
Speaker 1: perfectly okay. But I also see bodybuilders that are dying
Speaker 1: every single day from all types of crazy stuff. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, if I don't feel yeah, so if I'm
Speaker 1: not looking like that and I'm still healthy, I feel
Speaker 1: fine with myself. But I always tend to kind of
Speaker 1: like look at myself and be like, all right, maybe
Speaker 1: this needs and this is the normal stuff, right. You
Speaker 1: You need a little work here, you know, a little
Speaker 1: work there, but you work towards that. You walk a
Speaker 1: little further on a certain day, you stop. Maybe you
Speaker 1: cut back on those French fries. You know, you don't
Speaker 1: eat the whole bag, just like a quarter of it,
Speaker 1: you know, so those things like it's a vegetable, right,
Speaker 1: But those are the things that I think about, right,
Speaker 1: And I've been yeah, I've lost about fifty pounds, um,
Speaker 1: just changing what I eat, never even walking into the
Speaker 1: congrats man, thank you. Um. You know I'm six foot five,
Speaker 1: so you don't see it. It's proportioned, right, But when
Speaker 1: I lost it, I was like you could feel it
Speaker 1: on exactly a matter. We'll have, Alex Dye, I will
Speaker 1: do it up man. Yeah, yeah, but yeah, here's a
Speaker 1: question for the both of you. I think a beauty
Speaker 1: standard are often influenced by our upbringing. And the reason
Speaker 1: I say that is because I think our parents are
Speaker 1: the first people to kind of impose what beauty is
Speaker 1: it's like, and I'm speaking from my personal upbringing. It's
Speaker 1: like when I was growing up, I was very addicted
Speaker 1: to like PANDU and that kind of thing, and my
Speaker 1: mom always say, and then you know it's like years later,
Speaker 1: I was I was. I was always a big kid.
Speaker 1: It's like I remember I went from being a little
Speaker 1: you know, skinny kid to being big my whole life,
Speaker 1: and then my dad going because you're that big, and
Speaker 1: they would impose these diets and and and and here's
Speaker 1: where I want to kind of open it up to
Speaker 1: you guys. It's like my mom at one point or
Speaker 1: another in my life had me on a diet, whatever
Speaker 1: diet they deemed. It's like can iyajo, you know, drink
Speaker 1: this in the morning, and it's like putting a kid
Speaker 1: through that. It's like, sure, I think the behind it
Speaker 1: is well intention but it could really f you up
Speaker 1: in the head. Yeah, I mean, so it's like I
Speaker 1: want to open up to you. Do you guys, like,
Speaker 1: did you guys have that thing growing up where these
Speaker 1: diets were imposed by our loved ones. Well, in my case, yes,
Speaker 1: I remember growing up. Um, I was really cute. I
Speaker 1: mean I've always been cute, but I was really cute
Speaker 1: to a certain point in my life. Okay, I was
Speaker 1: going through like depression because you have to sometimes your
Speaker 1: kids over eat. But you have to see the reasons why.
Speaker 1: Besides the fact that it's a cultural thing that when
Speaker 1: you're chunky, you know, that's when you're the cutest, and
Speaker 1: then if you're skinny, you have health issues, which is
Speaker 1: not true. I remember my mom would feed me so much,
Speaker 1: to the point that I got to wait two hundred
Speaker 1: and thirty pounds at thirteen. I was super overweight, and
Speaker 1: my mom would make me feel so terrible. That was
Speaker 1: her way of trying to make me lose weight. You're
Speaker 1: never gonna find a boyfriend who's gonna love you as
Speaker 1: fat as you are, better you look like a cow
Speaker 1: or people or I would be hungry and people would
Speaker 1: offer me food, don't give her any foods, and I
Speaker 1: would just be You don't know how traumatizing that was.
Speaker 1: And today I know that she meant, well, she just
Speaker 1: did it wrong. That wasn't the way to go about it.
Speaker 1: So I did go through a lot of um, you know, diets. Um.
Speaker 1: My mom had me go to the gym. You know,
Speaker 1: I think that is very important. And I'm doing this
Speaker 1: now for you know, learning now for my own daughters, um,
Speaker 1: teaching them how to eat properly in her culture. A
Speaker 1: lot of Greece on a Friday. Of course, I'm Dominican
Speaker 1: salami and all the friend stuff. I get that part.
Speaker 1: We want to keep close to our culture, but we
Speaker 1: also want our kids to understand what they're eating, you know,
Speaker 1: to keep a balance. Um, so definitely, you know, I
Speaker 1: already see that one of my babies is a little chunky,
Speaker 1: and my mom is like she's gonna burn it off later.
Speaker 1: It's not about her eating a lot, it's about her
Speaker 1: eating the portion she's supposed to eat to be alive,
Speaker 1: Like she doesn't have to like eat everything in the place.
Speaker 1: That's another thing. I don't know if you've ever been
Speaker 1: one of these, but if you come from a Latino household,
Speaker 1: did your mom or your dad or your grandma or
Speaker 1: whatever ever do the thing where you're like eating at
Speaker 1: the table and they're like, coo, eat all of it also,
Speaker 1: and they would just force you to eat, like like dude,
Speaker 1: I'm poor. I don't even want it. Those are bad
Speaker 1: eating habits, Alex, did you ever go through that? Yeah?
Speaker 1: One percent, it was you know, if you want dessert,
Speaker 1: you gotta finish everything that's in your place, so you're
Speaker 1: overeating and then you're eating something else on top of that.
Speaker 1: You know, so one hundred percent you were kind of
Speaker 1: forced in in the Hispanic community, like you're forced to
Speaker 1: eat everything that's in front of you, no matter what, right,
Speaker 1: And it would always gilt trip you like, you know,
Speaker 1: other kids don't have this stuff. You should be very
Speaker 1: lucky that you have all this food and you should
Speaker 1: finish it and all this stuff. So I think that
Speaker 1: was one of the main reasons I grew up with that.
Speaker 1: And like you mentioned, a lot of the foods my dad,
Speaker 1: My dad was the cook in the house, so he
Speaker 1: didn't make bad things. Like I think as we grew
Speaker 1: up in the nineties, right we had more of natural
Speaker 1: remedies to eat, like you know, like organic foods and
Speaker 1: stuff like that were normal. We were eating that. Now
Speaker 1: everything's genetically modified. Everything, every single food is different, right,
Speaker 1: So that changes our bodies as well. So even though
Speaker 1: I was kind of eating everything and I was a
Speaker 1: little bit bigger than everyone else, the food was just
Speaker 1: a tad bid healthier back then. Right now it's totally different.
Speaker 1: So I agree with you that it starts with that
Speaker 1: mental little seed that was planted as kids. Yes, it
Speaker 1: is true. You know, eating habits is a is a thing.
Speaker 1: Cultural issues is another thing. Society isn't a thing. There's
Speaker 1: so many of the things. But as a woman and
Speaker 1: being exactly Amada, I also know that women, come on,
Speaker 1: I know you agree. We as women, we get a
Speaker 1: lot of pressure more than boys because boys is like, oh,
Speaker 1: get into sports and you can just sweat it off.
Speaker 1: But for the girls, we get more pressure earlier on
Speaker 1: in our in our lives to look attractive, presentable than
Speaker 1: anybody else. As adults we grow into that. And now
Speaker 1: in this society we've grown into the same thing. We're
Speaker 1: talking about cosmetic surgeries, which is a trend. We see
Speaker 1: mothers that are paying for the daughters at fifteen. Your
Speaker 1: new gift is new boobs, or we're gonna fix your nose,
Speaker 1: or we're gonna fix this. You know, at like fifteen,
Speaker 1: you haven't even grown completely into your body. Do you guys? Um?
Speaker 1: Do you guys like? I mean, I know that you do.
Speaker 1: But does it matter to you if you're if the
Speaker 1: girl that you're attracted to have surgery or doesn't have surgery?
Speaker 1: Are you pro surgery against surgery? Because I know some
Speaker 1: men are like I only like my women natural. Some say,
Speaker 1: I mean, you know me, You're fine, That's all that matters.
Speaker 1: Do you have any issues with these surgeries? When is
Speaker 1: there too much surgery? I mean, how do you look
Speaker 1: at surgery? I want to be like, like, like mindful
Speaker 1: and and specifically say that. It's like, I think the
Speaker 1: thing here is not to shame shame anybody for their decisions.
Speaker 1: I do think there's a bigger, a bigger thing here.
Speaker 1: It's like the root, the root cause of the problem
Speaker 1: is often overlooked. So what we're seeing now is a
Speaker 1: cause of stuff that happened back then. It's like to
Speaker 1: to go on what you said, it's cultural exist and
Speaker 1: that It's like, I think we fall in love with
Speaker 1: a person, like when you talk about like fall in
Speaker 1: love with a person or being with somebody, it's because
Speaker 1: of who they are and how they act. I think
Speaker 1: the outside is extra. There is a tipping point where
Speaker 1: surgeries are too much. But you know, beauty is in
Speaker 1: the eye of the beholder. So you know, my mom
Speaker 1: would say, I wrote the kind of thing. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like there's there's somebody for somebody out there. So, um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not against it. I mean, I I think I
Speaker 1: like to vibe with the person. I'm not against it. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, but too much is too much personally, I think, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like perhaps, um you know, I understand sometimes
Speaker 1: you can't breathe right, so you go get your rhinoplastic
Speaker 1: and all that stuff to fix your nose, and while
Speaker 1: they're fixing it, you kind of beautify it. Right. I
Speaker 1: understand that sometimes, uh, you have things that might be
Speaker 1: wrong with your body. That's something that might had happened
Speaker 1: in the past, So you want to get that, you know,
Speaker 1: you know, quote unquote cosmetically fixed, right, and you go
Speaker 1: and do it. So I feel like there is a
Speaker 1: tipping point um when you're kind of addicted to like
Speaker 1: having to look a certain way as opposed to doing
Speaker 1: it because you know, you want to just fix this
Speaker 1: and that, right, then it goes overboard. You start seeing
Speaker 1: people doing things that, you know, adding adding things to themselves,
Speaker 1: which is what brings me to the to the thing.
Speaker 1: I'm out and I want to ask you this. How
Speaker 1: do you feel about men? And we spoke about this
Speaker 1: earlier issues. How do you feel about men getting implants
Speaker 1: like abs pecks, they're calves um, you know, chiseled out
Speaker 1: jaws because they'll get like those those fillers in their
Speaker 1: jaws to make them look like zac efron, you know,
Speaker 1: to make them look all super chiseled. How do you
Speaker 1: feel about that until you have kids and then them
Speaker 1: that DNA. Okay, them genetes be coming through, be like, ah, okay,
Speaker 1: but I do understand. Look, I don't have anything against
Speaker 1: plastic surgery, cosmetic surgery for men. Um, I'm not crazy.
Speaker 1: They get oh you know, and I want to get
Speaker 1: my packs done. I want to get you know, six packs.
Speaker 1: I mean, if you want to get some if you
Speaker 1: want to get a light bol I'm I'm with the ship.
Speaker 1: So you want to get a light bulb and you
Speaker 1: want to six pack? Eight patox situation going on, Dale,
Speaker 1: We can do it. I'm Bolt Talks. I'm cool with
Speaker 1: the bolt Talk Sometimes Bobby meet up. We gotta keep
Speaker 1: your face together. You're about to melt. We gotta, you know,
Speaker 1: keep it up all right, but we just can you know, um,
Speaker 1: and then your face is gonna be good. We can
Speaker 1: do that. Um. I'm not really against it, like you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like these and let's get two ladies.
Speaker 1: Have you heard the men now are also getting too,
Speaker 1: like I said before, fillers and they're dangling a little
Speaker 1: bit chunkier. Um, there's some men and there's something wrong
Speaker 1: with it. Let's talk about it. Because look, women go
Speaker 1: through vaginal rejuvenation reconstruction, surgery, all these things. But why
Speaker 1: is this such a thing for men to talk about it?
Speaker 1: And I know that it's kind of la masculini to
Speaker 1: be like, oh, you know, I'm a man, you know what,
Speaker 1: So what it's a body part. You may need a
Speaker 1: little assistant. So there's there's things for that now too.
Speaker 1: And I don't think men talk about it, you know,
Speaker 1: as often. But they're doing that now too. Men go
Speaker 1: over there and they get all types of surgeries done
Speaker 1: step so faja they do their massages. I don't think
Speaker 1: there's anything wrong with wanting to look good if you
Speaker 1: naturally are built a certain type of way, Like your
Speaker 1: body is not what you visualize, because there's no wrong body.
Speaker 1: Your body is yours, is your temple is yours, is
Speaker 1: what God gave you. You gotta work with it. But
Speaker 1: if it's not what you visualize, and for you know,
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars or three thousand dollars that they got
Speaker 1: a special you can change it. Why not? I don't
Speaker 1: see nothing wrong with it. That's a two lebo tuki
Speaker 1: haa to both talk at everything you want to do.
Speaker 1: I think it's cool. That's so funny because you're like Oh,
Speaker 1: they have a special It's like, I feel like with
Speaker 1: those things, let me pay full price. I don't want to, Like,
Speaker 1: I don't want to. But it's also very funny because
Speaker 1: you're like, if you want to look a certain way,
Speaker 1: I think we keep talking about this idea of like
Speaker 1: look in a certain way, but you get the six
Speaker 1: pack and you get the biceps to look a certain way.
Speaker 1: But when it's time to move, you're in which you're lady,
Speaker 1: and it's time is moving there and you gotta lift
Speaker 1: those boxes and you can't lift those boxes. There's gonna
Speaker 1: be some questions. And also do like the question of
Speaker 1: doing you disclose to your partner when you're dating that
Speaker 1: you had this And the only reason I'm even saying
Speaker 1: this there was a story years ago. I remember that
Speaker 1: a couple went to court and I forgot who sued who?
Speaker 1: Do you remember this? Yes? He did, he sued her, Yes,
Speaker 1: because they like once he looked at the babies, he's like, yo,
Speaker 1: like like I got catfished. Yeah, I mean this is
Speaker 1: a long play on a catfish because you look a
Speaker 1: certain way and you look at the kids, and I
Speaker 1: think he was able to notice on like on the
Speaker 1: teeth coming in that something was wrong. I forget what
Speaker 1: it was. But it's like there's also an ethical kind
Speaker 1: of question in place, like you want to look a
Speaker 1: certain way, and I think somebody is signing up for
Speaker 1: something and they get something else. I think that feeling
Speaker 1: of getting duped is worthy of considering. I think you
Speaker 1: gotta be honest. You gotta be honest one day and
Speaker 1: do not to say from the brig. You don't have
Speaker 1: to stay from the beginning. Once you feel comfortable enough
Speaker 1: with this person that you feel like this is going
Speaker 1: to go somewhere one day over coffee or at the
Speaker 1: house watching Netflix, chill baby, Oh my god, look at
Speaker 1: this baby picture of me and start start slow stright there,
Speaker 1: oh baby, look at this picture. You know, oh this
Speaker 1: used to be me. And then work your way up
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, you know when I was like
Speaker 1: in college or in my twenties, you know, I got
Speaker 1: my nose done, I got my teeth done, my tits,
Speaker 1: my legs, my arms, my nose, my eyes, my hair.
Speaker 1: Like just basically say you're a robot and you got
Speaker 1: redone and it's all and it's all good because guess
Speaker 1: what that person like, who they met, who they see,
Speaker 1: and that's all. This shouldn't matter. So but here's another
Speaker 1: thing that I want to get into. And I know
Speaker 1: that we're getting really deep into this, but I love
Speaker 1: this conversation because we're not just making fun about certain
Speaker 1: situations or you know, taking it lightly, but we're also
Speaker 1: hitting certain points that are realistic and things we have,
Speaker 1: you know, we have to think about. For example, when
Speaker 1: you get cosmetic surgery, don't ever do it, you know,
Speaker 1: while you're in a breakup or if you're trying to
Speaker 1: satisfy your partner or one of those things. Don't do it.
Speaker 1: You know why, because you're gonna regret it later. If
Speaker 1: you want to change something about yourself because you feel uncomfortable,
Speaker 1: you do that for you. Don't do it trying to
Speaker 1: please your girlfriend, trying to please your man. Now, that's
Speaker 1: how many out of them, because afterwards, you're still gonna
Speaker 1: leave you, and they're still gonna cheat, and they're still
Speaker 1: gonna whatever, and then you're gonna hate yourself for putting
Speaker 1: your body through that process. Which we also have to
Speaker 1: talk about the fact that getting cosmetic surgery is not
Speaker 1: just going to the grocery stores. And I say, no, mommy,
Speaker 1: you're going or for men as well. You're going through
Speaker 1: like this is and like not local, well some people
Speaker 1: do local, but it's anesthesia. You're touching organs, you're like
Speaker 1: really going in there. I know which I won't disclose who.
Speaker 1: There's an artist um who's very well known. We were
Speaker 1: we work together. She was recently all over social media
Speaker 1: and whatever and in the past too, you know, and
Speaker 1: she went to do cosmetic surgery and it things didn't
Speaker 1: turn out to be very good. Thank god she's alive,
Speaker 1: but you know, it could have been worse. So certain things,
Speaker 1: you know, may have gotten punctured, etc. Some people come
Speaker 1: out alive from these things, some other people don't. So
Speaker 1: you have to take this serious, like it's not just
Speaker 1: a walk in the park, you know. And another thing,
Speaker 1: people become addicted to these things. You start looking at
Speaker 1: all the things you consider to be imperfections. You start off,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna get my boobs, and then this my chest.
Speaker 1: This when you start, when you really stop and realize,
Speaker 1: you don't even notice how your face completely changed, you
Speaker 1: don't even look like the same person. So surgeries can
Speaker 1: also be addictive if you have low self esteem, if
Speaker 1: you're going through stuff. I think it is important for
Speaker 1: everyone that gets me. If I was a doctor, I
Speaker 1: would make sure that everybody goes to therapy at one
Speaker 1: point or make sure that you see a psychiatrist or
Speaker 1: something before you do this drastic change, because you can't
Speaker 1: come back from that. It's too accessible. Now. I think
Speaker 1: these things are too accessible. And I think before, like
Speaker 1: our generation, it was like I don't like this thing
Speaker 1: about me. It all so like on a quick side note,
Speaker 1: it's like being the chubby kid or being the kid
Speaker 1: with the messed up teeth. It's like you develop these
Speaker 1: things around it, like these tools that later in life
Speaker 1: kind of help you builds this thick skin. And I
Speaker 1: think this h this solution, this way out to the
Speaker 1: problem that they may not like themselves as too accessible
Speaker 1: to kids too early. And I think there should kind
Speaker 1: of be like a thing later in life. It's like
Speaker 1: you gotta I think where you said Amada is insanely
Speaker 1: like awesome, and I think it needs to be common practice.
Speaker 1: There has to be some kind of evaluation mentally to
Speaker 1: see where the person is because you don't want this
Speaker 1: thing to be out of hand. Yeah, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: like you want it to be like they're making the
Speaker 1: decisions in a sound state of mind, and they're not
Speaker 1: doing it for other motives. I think it's that that
Speaker 1: should be common practice hands down for any cosmetic surgery. Um,
Speaker 1: if you're ever planning on getting any surgery done, please
Speaker 1: let me know. I'm just curious. I want to follow
Speaker 1: up with anybody transformations you are planning on doing. And honestly,
Speaker 1: I love the fact that, um, you know, I have
Speaker 1: the opportunity of talking to men like yourself that are
Speaker 1: willing to be open and honest about you know, cosmetic
Speaker 1: surgery is really not that big of a taboo topic
Speaker 1: and we should be all cool to talk about it
Speaker 1: like we talk about anything else. Which, by the way,
Speaker 1: if I want to check you out on social media,
Speaker 1: on your social media platform and see where you're up to,
Speaker 1: where can I follow you and the number one on
