1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Job Mission with Jones and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: These days zoom meetings of the norm. You have to

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: stare at your face all day long. This is a

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 2: new phenomenon for a lot of people. So it may

5
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: not surprise you to know that over fifty percent of

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: people are dissatisfied with how they look. Australia has one

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: of the highest per capita cosmetic surgery rates globally. Our

8
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 2: next guest dells into this in a two part documentary

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: called Mirror Mirror. He's here to tell us more about it.

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: Todd Samson.

11
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 3: Hello, You've been saying that I just made documentaries once

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 3: a year so I could come on and show and

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 3: talk to you guys.

14
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,959
Speaker 2: I'm going to believe that. I choose to believe it.

15
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 2: I've seen the promos for this, Todd, and it looks extraordinary,

16
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: and you were talking to some people on the extreme

17
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: edge of surgery. But for a lot of people, this

18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 2: is really hard stuff to manage. It used to be

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: when I grew up, if you cared too much about

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 2: your appearance, you were vain in your up yourself. Now,

21
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: with that whole marketing about beauty and about how easy

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: it is to change, it's hard not to be sway,

23
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: isn't it.

24
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 3: Yes, if you think about how the brain works, so

25
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 3: the brain is metaphorically plastic, so it continuously adapts to

26
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: the world around it. Here's the problem with these filtered,

27
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 3: idealized beauty images that we are surrounded with. It used

28
00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 3: to be just in the media, but now it's in

29
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: social media, which we carry around in our pockets. Is

30
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 3: that we look at the idealized, filtered images and we

31
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 3: start to believe they're the norm and that we are

32
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 3: the out there, and it literally rewires us.

33
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: Who are some of the people that you interviewed. They

34
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 2: are so far from our regular idea of beauty, big

35
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: oversized lips and strange brows and things. Do those people

36
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 2: have bodied dysmorphia? Because most people would still try and

37
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 2: stick within the limits of what we consider beauty, wouldn't they.

38
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 3: Or are they that different to Amanda? That's the question.

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: So here's what we know. We all suffer from different

40
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: We all from a body dissatisfaction, all of us. But

41
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 3: we're on a spectrum and some are much further down

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 3: the spectrum than others. And there's a genetic component to

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 3: mental illness. So, as one of the scientists said, to me,

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 3: genetics loads the gun, but the environment pulls the trigger.

45
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 3: The thing with dysmorphia is because it's never talked about,

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: we just let it go. We just see it as

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: vanity or narcissism. But it's not narcissism. It's a mental

48
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: illness often triggered by the world around us. It did

49
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: make me laugh, right, This is a a causation, not

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: a correlation. It did make me laugh when I saw

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: your ad, right, when I saw you making fun of

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 3: Johnes as you like to do about his hair. And

53
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 3: it's in the film, right. So hair loss is one

54
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: of the biggest body being dissatisfaction aspects for men. And

55
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: here's the finding in that nothing grows your hair back.

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: It's all false advertising except for a hair transplant, and

57
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 3: even that only sits at roughly sixty percent success. Right,

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: And we show a hair transplant in the film and

59
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 3: it's remarkable. I mean, at one stage, this is how

60
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 3: casual it all is. At one stage, the doctor gave

61
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 3: me this thing to put the hair in his head.

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: Little shocked, I was like, are you sure, And you

63
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: can see in the film. I resist, you know, I resist,

64
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 3: But I couldn't resist because it was amazing that it

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 3: was that casual, and I tried to be as gentle

66
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: as possible, but I was like, really want me to

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: do it?

68
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: How do we put the g back? I can't take

69
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: you for that. I was waiting for that as well.

70
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: It was for the purpose of our little Dolly.

71
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: Yes, there is a drug called tranasterid right and not advertising,

72
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 3: and it's been recommended for many people. It's a very

73
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: well known drug. There's only one problem with the drug,

74
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: as we illustrate, and you don't literally illustrate because it

75
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 3: would be too much. As we illustrate in this film,

76
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 3: is that it can have a penal dysfunctional aspect to it.

77
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 3: And crazily, the person in I feel took it and

78
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 3: had it right.

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: So when you say penile dysfunction reaction, I'm going to

80
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 1: react on erection?

81
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: Is that? But exactly you're not getting it up.

82
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 1: Well, I don't use that anyway, So give me my head,

83
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: your wife hair, hair all down there, Todd. I'm so

84
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: pleased you join.

85
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 2: And did you like our ad?

86
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,839

87
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: know TV ads. Did you like that ad?

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 3: Yeah? I really liked this. But you know the thing

89
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 3: with advertising. Not that is that you guys have all

90
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: people don't need it, you know, like everybody. You're so

91
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 3: popular anyway, So do you know.

92
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: The way to our hearts?

93
