Speaker 1 (00:02):
Young.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Some people will go to any link to stay young.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
For it is that someone.

Speaker 4 (00:09):
It's Madeline Ashton though she was a big staring and
Susy said, oh she was dead.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh madam, you look younger every day, Thank you Rose.
But Madeline Ashton and your old friend Ellen Sean, I've
lost Manda her before. Are about to go too far.

Speaker 5 (00:30):
And touch of magic.

Speaker 4 (00:32):
Drink that potion and you'll never grow even one day older.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
Bottom's up, No warning now a warning.

Speaker 6 (00:50):
Hello, neighbors, lovers, friends and immortals. I'm Danielliscreama and you're
listening to Broad's next door, getting your hyperbar oxygen chamber
or swallow a cursed potion because today we're letting death
become us.

Speaker 5 (01:07):
Or rather we're taking a broader.

Speaker 6 (01:09):
Look at those who want to live forever, the fictional,
the factual, and the futuristic paths to eternal light.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
Why do people want to live forever? Can we? Would you?

Speaker 7 (01:23):
I had a little botox and some collagen and a
chemical peel and something with shark DNA.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Admit it. I love ten years younger his.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
Life so ultimate cruelty.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
It offers us the taste of youth and vitality. Then
makes us weakness up over the kid.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Hello, Hi, how is everyone doing?

Speaker 6 (01:44):
I know we've got more than one episode in a week,
so I've been really in the mood to record. I
was also watching The Vampire Diaries. I watched like four
seasons and then I got a bit too ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (02:00):
But they had this.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
They have this whole theme of these immortals, these original
vampires that are super hard to kill and have.

Speaker 5 (02:08):
Been alive for thousands of years.

Speaker 6 (02:10):
Most vampire shows and stuff have some kind of iteration
about that, and it made me think about how much
anti aging stuff is in media. I already wanted to
talk about Brian Johnson. I mean, even our oldest piece
of literature that we have, which I actually really like,

(02:33):
the epic of Gilgamesh is all about immortality, so this
is something people have been obsessed with for a long time.
I rewatched Death Becomes Her as well, which really holds up.
I watched it a couple of years ago for an
episode that Brooke and I did maybe Our Bodies Ourselves,

(02:54):
one of those early ones. I really liked those styles
of episodes. That's the times I miss having a co
host the most, just talking.

Speaker 5 (03:05):
About stuff like this. But I'll try and do some
more guest.

Speaker 6 (03:09):
Episodes, and my voice is still not one hundred percent,
so we're going to be hearing a lot from other
people today, and I.

Speaker 5 (03:20):
Hope you are well, and let's get into it.

Speaker 6 (03:24):
And toward the end of the episode, I'm going to
include some interviews with my doctor, my esthetic doctor, doctor.

Speaker 5 (03:30):
Wiggins of Sante PDX that.

Speaker 6 (03:34):
I've been doing the PRP with, and we talk about
lots of stuff, bbl's filler, all the things that can
go wrong, all the things that can go right with biostimulators,
So make sure you stay tuned for that too. First,
let's talk a little bit about the fiction and watch,

(03:54):
or rather listen to a scene from Death Becomes Her
where Isabella Rosalini gives Meryl Streep a warning that everyone
else in this episode could maybe use, but.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
I have a feeling it will come too late.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
How old will you guess?

Speaker 8 (04:11):
I am?

Speaker 9 (04:15):
I wouldn't.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
Come on, don't try to flatter me.

Speaker 2 (04:23):
Thirty eight.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
Oh, twenty eight, three twenty three. I am seventy one
years old.

Speaker 10 (04:32):
That's what it does.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
It stops the aging process.

Speaker 4 (04:36):
Dead in its tracks and forces it into retreat. Drink
that potion and You'll never grow even one day older.
Don't drink it and continue to watch yourself wrote.

Speaker 10 (04:51):
How much is it?

Speaker 4 (04:55):
The sorded topic of coin afraid is not so simple.
The cost you see for everyone, well, for me, how much?

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Make me a promise?

Speaker 4 (05:13):
The secret that we share must never become public. You
may continue your career for ten years, ten years of
perfect unchanged beauty, but at the end of that time,
before people become suspicious, you have to disappear from public
view forever. You can retire, you can stay your own

(05:34):
phony death, or as one of my clients simply said,
I wont to be alone.

Speaker 11 (05:45):
No she's not.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
Wow.

Speaker 12 (05:51):
Whoa now a warning?

Speaker 3 (05:57):
Now a warning. Take care of yourself.

Speaker 4 (06:03):
You and your body are going to be together a
long time.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
Be good to it.

Speaker 3 (06:13):
Timba live forever and.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
Then somewhere between fact and fiction. We have people who
think they're vampires. These are like some of my favorite people.
If anyone listening to this is a vampire, I do
carry a steak most of the time, but I would
be willing to talk.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Geographic like twenty million years ago.

Speaker 2 (06:45):
This is dog Henry. I am a vampire. I do
consume human blood.

Speaker 5 (06:52):
He looks so much like our old friend Byron, community that.

Speaker 13 (06:56):
Exists not only within the States, but also were throughout
the world.

Speaker 2 (07:03):
According to Henry, he and his kind do not prey
on the innocent. All these days. We don't go ripping
people's throats out or anything like that.

Speaker 5 (07:11):
Non anymore, Henry, with what we do, the cheap things
his teeth are insane. Give him that we don't go out.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Searching for victims or anything like that. Henry claims he
will only drink from consent.

Speaker 5 (07:26):
If I was immortal, I would doubt crazos.

Speaker 14 (07:28):
There are others who aren't so considerate. In nineteen eighty five,
a motorist traveling down a back road in Florida came
across a young woman handcuffed and partially clothed, barely able
to walk. The victim was rushed to the local hospital,
where Lieutenant bob Letherow of the Brevard County Sheriff's.

Speaker 2 (07:48):
Department was brought in on the case.

Speaker 15 (07:50):
Florida, there's an Apartmedix realized that she had lost a
significate amount of blood and possibly could have passed away
from exposure.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Just nineteen years old, the girl had a terrifying story
to tell.

Speaker 15 (08:05):
She informed me that she was out on the roadway hitchhiking,
and this gentleman picked her up.

Speaker 10 (08:12):
He looked very well dressed. He offered her a ride, but.

Speaker 2 (08:15):
Once in the car, the driver overpowered her and choked
her unconscious. It was then that the nightmare really began.

Speaker 15 (08:23):
She woke up later on unknown amount of time, and
she was on the countertop of the kitchen. She was
tied down and the suspect was putting a needle syringe
into her arm.

Speaker 3 (08:37):
Into a beaker.

Speaker 5 (08:38):
But why yeah, why, I mean, there's no good reason.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
He drank off the blood. The nightmare continued for hours.

Speaker 14 (08:46):
In between feedings, the kidnapper kept her handcuffed in the bathtub.
It was through the bathroom windows, still handcuffed, that she
managed to escape under the nearby road. The victim in
this case got away, but others if not.

Speaker 5 (09:04):
Okay, I didn't know that he went on Tyra banks.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
So we have to want three different types of vampires.

Speaker 13 (09:14):
The first type, the first kind would be considered a
blood feeder.

Speaker 3 (09:18):
The definition would be called.

Speaker 5 (09:19):
A sanguinarian and has amazing The.

Speaker 13 (09:23):
Blood is a rudimentary means of being able to transform
the life force energy per se.

Speaker 3 (09:28):
So tell me, what's the second type.

Speaker 13 (09:30):
The second kind would be the psychic vampire what we
call sigh for short, and that would be a person
who has pretty much gone away from the blood. Blood
these days is considered a taboo subject, you know what
I mean.

Speaker 3 (09:42):
And it's blood, you know, just blood.

Speaker 13 (09:45):
But at the same time, it's a transference of the
life force energy without touching someone or just by laying
of the.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
Hands and such.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
Okay.

Speaker 16 (09:52):
And then the third type is the hybrid, which means
both the third type isn't Mirrorca's next Top Model and
you knowah.

Speaker 3 (09:58):
So you drink people's blood.

Speaker 5 (10:00):
Correct.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
For Henry, drinking blood is on one level, a part of.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
His identity is Tyra is acting so horrified, like she
wouldn't have had the girls to this is a challenge
if it occurred to her.

Speaker 5 (10:15):
This is the TV show, not America's Next Top Model,
the talk show.

Speaker 14 (10:21):
But Henry claims that the need to ingest blood is
also physical and time to his health.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
And will time.

Speaker 13 (10:28):
It's considered a sensory deprivation chamber.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
So you don't hear anything, smell any correct. Okay, what's
what's this about?

Speaker 13 (10:35):
The office means that's one of those things that just
happens over time, especially through purification. I've done lots of
purification practices, so.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
The birthmarks fall off your body.

Speaker 16 (10:45):
Tested by a medical doctor to find out why you
crave blood and why you have extreme abilities, because he's
supposed to be amias a lot of.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Stuff and do all kind of interesting things.

Speaker 5 (10:54):
Check this out.

Speaker 14 (10:56):
Doctor Mustafa begins with the traditional doctor patient consultation.

Speaker 6 (11:00):
It's after definitely looks legit, and it definitely doesn't look
like they're in the back.

Speaker 5 (11:05):
Of issue story.

Speaker 10 (11:06):
It's a psychiatric disorder, but I don't think it's unreasonable
to consider the possibility that there's an underlying medical condition.

Speaker 5 (11:13):
But he's going to say that the empire fancy or.

Speaker 2 (11:16):
A fat for him.

Speaker 10 (11:18):
He talked about the need to drink blood since childhood,
and I really have to take him very seriously.

Speaker 14 (11:25):
He's looking for any abnormality that could suggest a medical
reason why don Henry ingests blood. For now, the blood
drinker will have to give up his own blood, which
he willingly does.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
In the name of science.

Speaker 13 (11:41):
If for some reason there is a physical cause for
my condition, I would love to know, but.

Speaker 10 (11:50):
I would not trade ooh or what I am throughout history,
patients have been called crazy because on the surface they're
doing something common, harmful, unusual, But when we dig deeper,
we find that they have a true medical condition.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
So I think anytime a picture.

Speaker 5 (12:07):
Yeah, being insane is a true medical condition, I would know.

Speaker 6 (12:12):
Now some people may say he looks like a vampire,
but I low key would sleep with Brian Johnson. I
don't think he would sleep with me. I think he
would be repulsed by my vaping and call me fat.
So I guess that's why why I'm attracted to him.

Speaker 5 (12:30):
Let's hear from him.

Speaker 10 (12:31):
As a species, we accept our inevitable decay to decline.

Speaker 2 (12:37):
And death.

Speaker 6 (12:41):
Brian Johnson does what'll argue that the opposite should be true.

Speaker 10 (12:46):
My name is Brian Johnson. I've been spending millions of
dollars creating an anti aging protocol. I take fifty four
pills of red light therapy plasma exchanges, and I'm going
to be injected with my.

Speaker 2 (12:58):
First geen there.

Speaker 3 (13:01):
Thanks doc.

Speaker 10 (13:02):
I'm trying to be on the outermost edge of possibility
for the science.

Speaker 17 (13:07):
We publish all of his biometric data online. Every spotlight
was turned on Brian.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
I think is Wrexham went viral disguise.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
In his own world, Brian Johnson is a grifter who
is trying to make a quick book.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
He's clearly intending to reach as many people as possible.
The real question is what's his motivation. I do worry
about him. Dad never felt more understood by anyone than
with you.

Speaker 10 (13:36):
I really want to have multiple lifetimes with my son,
a hundred years.

Speaker 2 (13:41):
He's not gonna get it off.

Speaker 10 (13:44):
What you donate your plasma to me, I will to Dad.
It will be this multi generational thing.

Speaker 5 (13:49):
You guys look awesome.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
This was an event that transcended the trial of the
therapy of science. It's just a pensrible It's just because
rich Silica Valley types chasing one of the fountain of view.

Speaker 5 (14:06):
I'm worried for him.

Speaker 3 (14:08):
We just don't know how he's what he's gonna react.

Speaker 10 (14:11):
We may walk into a future where all of us
live healthier, longer, and I want to live with everything
that I am.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
That was from the trailer for Don't Die The Man
who Wants to Live Forever, which is on Netflix about
Brian Johnson and his whole plan to never die, And
we're going to listen to a little clip of it.

Speaker 10 (14:39):
For our time and place, and I will put forward
that it's the ability to stop ourself.

Speaker 5 (14:45):
Sorry.

Speaker 10 (14:49):
And if we say, in the early twenty first century,
what is the genius target for us for our time
and place, and I look put forward that it's the
ability to stop our self destructive behaviors and neutralize aging.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
Do you think he'd because my babing, Brian, do you
want to hang out?

Speaker 18 (15:08):
It's a part of the Curious Case of Benjamin Button,
a story where a man ages in reverse.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
One man wants to.

Speaker 5 (15:15):
Achieve that feat.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
His name is Brian Johnson.

Speaker 19 (15:19):
Brian Johnson is determined to live forever or die trying,
and is putting his vast fortune and own body on
the line to achieve it.

Speaker 10 (15:30):
As a species, we accept our inevitable decay, decline, and death.
I want to argue that the opposite should be true.
I walked into this because I was marching into an
early grave. And now I've built an algorithm. It takes
better care of me than I can myself. I think

(15:53):
this is the first time in the history of the
human race that it is not known how long and
well I can live. That we can be a medical
grade operation at every every level, and I.

Speaker 20 (16:09):
Started just asking them questions. He's like, Okay, I spent
two point five million dollars on all this stuff. And
this was not a professional athlete who was spending this
much money on his body. It was just this random
tech guy. It's just, you know, absolutely going further than
what anyone else.

Speaker 6 (16:24):
I don't feel like he does any of this stuff
for long enough, said Skincare of Creams.

Speaker 10 (16:29):
Day before the article came out, Kate and I were
in my office and we both had this moment of crisis, like.

Speaker 2 (16:39):
Oh no, like what have we done?

Speaker 5 (16:44):
That it was going to be about home breaking.

Speaker 10 (16:49):
Millionaire entrepreneur Brian Johnson.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Brian Johnson.

Speaker 10 (16:51):
Brian Johnson, Brian Johnson is on a quest to live longer.

Speaker 17 (16:55):
All of a sudden, every spotlight was turned on Brian
and the project and everything we worked on was under
intense scrutiny.

Speaker 3 (17:03):
I think his rectum went viral. Is Rexell biological age.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
There was so much and it's just kind of a headline.

Speaker 10 (17:13):
We're inundated with interesting. Every single product that we published
on the Booker website.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Was sold recommending that we use.

Speaker 10 (17:24):
We couldn't think it'd be a supplier of calling to
saying what is going on and also unlocked a colossal
amount of hate.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
I actually would say he doesn't look that healthy.

Speaker 12 (17:34):
There's something super weird about looking young forever, Like.

Speaker 20 (17:37):
It takes like forty vitamins in the morning and forty
more in the afternoon.

Speaker 5 (17:42):
In summer, and she looked like a goddess, a Godny.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Of this specifically is you're seeking more time when you're
not even.

Speaker 21 (17:50):
Living the time you've been here.

Speaker 11 (17:53):
Yeah, and I find this so bad.

Speaker 20 (17:55):
I think for most people, the longevity field has always
been looked at skeptically. It's just these rich Silica valley
types chasing the fountain of youth.

Speaker 22 (18:07):
Jeff bezis more money ossion god among the Egypt.

Speaker 2 (18:14):
To defeat a normal internet and now live forever.

Speaker 20 (18:20):
It's like seen as strange and fringe. It just so happens.
It is a real field of science. There are proper
doctors and scientists that look at this shit.

Speaker 6 (18:35):
Sorry, sorry, so unpopular opinion, Brian, But I feel like,
if you're investing this so much money into your own
living forever, shouldn't you care about like climate change too?

Speaker 5 (18:49):
Or are you just going to like do this with
Elon on Mars like first.

Speaker 6 (18:53):
We go to Turkey for our hair transplants, and then
we're going to just go straight to the on Mars forever,
because if these students want to live forever on Earth,
maybe we should address some other stuff too, Because like,
wait till Rian Johnson, wait till you listen to my

(19:14):
nuclear war episode. This is a Time magazine article from
Charlotte Alter called The Man who Thinks he can live Forever.
Ryan Johnson, forty six is a cent a millionaire tech
entrepreneur has spent who has spent most of the last
three years in pursuit of a singular goal, don't die.

(19:36):
During that time, you spent more than four million dollars
developing a life extension system called Blueprint, in which he
outsources every decision involving his body to a team of
doctors who use data to develop a strict health regimen
to reduce what Johnson calls his biological age. That system
includes downing one hundred and eleven pills every day, where

(20:00):
a baseball cap that shoots red light into his scalp,
collecting his own stool slamples, and sleeping with a tiny
jetpack attached to his penis to monitor his nighttime erections.
Johnson thinks of any act that accelerates aging, like eating
a cookie or getting less than eight hours of sleep,

(20:20):
as an act of violence. Johnson is not the only
ultra rich, middle aged man trying to vanquish the ravages
of time. Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel were both early
investors in Unity Biotechnology, a company devoted to developing therapeutics
to slow or reverse diseases associated with aging. Elite athletes

(20:42):
employ therapies to keep their bodies young, from hyperbaric and
cryotherapy chambers to recovery sleepwear. This is me interjecting here,
but that's where most facial esthetic stuff comes from, like
the PRP stuff that I do. They started all of
that stuff for sports medicine, not plastic surgery, though that

(21:03):
started because of war and dudes getting their faces blown
off in war. And then some guy was like, you know,
this would also help out these old hags. That is
historically accurate for the most part. Okay, back to Time magazine.
But Johnson's quest is not just about staying rested or

(21:24):
maintaining muscle tone. It's about turning his whole body over
to an anti aging algorithm. He believes death that it's optional.
He plans never to do it.

Speaker 23 (21:36):
Brian Johnson, the tech entrepreneur who sold Venmo for eight
hundred million dollars, has spent a fortune on a quest
to stay young forever.

Speaker 10 (21:44):
Don't die is the general theme of what we're trying
to do. It's humanity's only objective.

Speaker 23 (21:50):
He's been open about spending an average of two million
dollars a year on some of the world's most exclusive
health treatments.

Speaker 10 (21:57):
We definitely have rejected modern society's approach on food, so yeah,
like it is a pharmacy in here.

Speaker 23 (22:06):
Some scientists have called his goals unachievable and his methods risky.

Speaker 10 (22:10):
They didn't know what they called me, like a tech
bro or a biohacker. It would be like, that's a crazy,
eccentric billionaire. And I wanted to say, just like you
view Lebron James, who spends a lot of money on
his body. When he performs well in the court, we
say good job, Lebron. When someone else spent life.

Speaker 23 (22:29):
Johnson has also invested in upgrades to a six point
eight million dollar home to achieve his longevity goals. He
installed UV filters on his windows, put an air purification
device in every room, and he has the filtered water
tested on a routine basis.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
I would do all of this.

Speaker 10 (22:46):
This is my happy place. So one hour every day
I spend in the gym doing.

Speaker 5 (22:53):
Variety, maybe a lot of extreme muscles under law.

Speaker 10 (22:58):
And I'm trying to be fast. I'm trying to be flexible.
I'm trying to be able to do everything.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
I can in life.

Speaker 5 (23:04):
So how are you trying to be fast?

Speaker 10 (23:07):
If my kids want to play game of basketball, I
can play it. If we want to race, I can race.
If I want to jump high, I can jump high.
So I'm really trying to make it any like that.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
I like when a man tells me he can jump high.

Speaker 6 (23:20):
I mean, I guess if I sold Benmo for eight
hundred million dollars, I would really step stef up to.
I want to take a look at some people in
history who also tried to be immortal, because our boy
Brian is definitely not the first. This is from chat
history on YouTube, people who sought immortality and failed.

Speaker 3 (23:43):
Sure this is cryonics anyway.

Speaker 24 (23:45):
The theory is that you freeze your body and brain
and temperature is low enough to halt all deterioration. The
hope is that one day you can be thought out
and just resume your life as if nothing ever happened.
There was a guy born in Belgium in nineteen by
the name of This who was a bit of a visionary.
He would often speculate on how humans would innovate technology

(24:08):
as time went on, being able to eventually solve any problem,
including death. He also thought that modern politics were wasteful
and outdated, that the only people who really exist are
those who look to the future for change or those
who stay in the past and cling to tradition. Speaking
of tradition, he also believed that traditional names were stupid,
so he changed his own to FM twenty thirty, much

(24:29):
easier to pronounce, besides sounding like a child of Elon Musk.
FM's name change highlighted his goal of celebrating his one
hundredth birthday in the year twenty thirty. He believed that
by then humanity will be ageless, everyone will have an
opportunity to live forever, and world peace will finally be attained.

Speaker 25 (24:48):
Good one.

Speaker 24 (24:48):
Unfortunately for him, his pancreas clung to the tradition of failing,
and so he died in two thousand at the age
of nice to keep his dream alive now that everything
else was deadm were placed in a cryonic suspension in
Arizona by the Outcore Life Extension Foundation, where they still
exist today. Of course, it has to be said that
there's no existing scientific evidence to suggest that cryo preservation

(25:11):
can even be successful. The practice is often regarded as
pseudoscience and a scam, since clients are required dead and
a slam full of anti freeze to resuscitate them. Like FM,
hundreds of people have either had their remains crowd preserved
or have made arrangements to do so after death. Even
American superstar Jeffrey Epstein won in his Head and Weird Mischief,

(25:33):
but we all know how that turned out.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
The gamble here is if the companies.

Speaker 6 (25:37):
Flood confusion, I don't need Harriott because it's like, basically.

Speaker 24 (25:43):
What I do is the life fluid that we all
have pumping around our big hulking meat sacks. Why not
frequently change it out like you want your car's oil.
Surely it needs to be refreshed every once in a while.
Soviet physician Alexander Boganov's theory anyway, He saw blood transfer
usion as a therapeutic stimulant and wanted to test out
its benefits firsthand. After abandoning politics in nineteen twenty four,

(26:06):
because Soviet Russia's communism wasn't communisming enough, Alex finally had
the time to get around to some good old blood
swapping no one.

Speaker 5 (26:13):
He took experimentation in hopes of.

Speaker 24 (26:16):
Unlocking eternal youth, or at least extending the normal human lifespan.
Blood transfusions nowadays are one sided and heaty. Patient receives
blood from a healthy donor.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
And that's that.

Speaker 24 (26:25):
Alex, on the other hand, treated blood transfusions as more
of an equivalent exchange versus a one way donation. Two
willing participants were trade out about a leader of blood
to each other. The theory was that the participants, an
older person would inherit the youth from a younger partner,
who would turn get a plus five on all future
wisdom roles.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
Hey, bro, you want to sweat blood?

Speaker 10 (26:47):
Well, what can you deadlift?

Speaker 2 (26:49):
Four hundred pounds?

Speaker 24 (26:52):
They rub out limit to three. It looked like bogden
Off was well on his way to attaining immortality, but
like the story of Icarus, he just couldn't push the
older the mountain or something.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
Maybe he did it again and again and again, and
it's I guess it's a really complicated thing. The history.

Speaker 6 (27:12):
There's so many good parts of wanting to live forever
that I do understand. I love sci fi stories that
have that as an element, until I don't until there's
something about it that bothers me.

Speaker 5 (27:29):
I don't know if it's because I'm a little bit
of a.

Speaker 6 (27:31):
Past life person or even like an after life person
in general. I feel like that has to affect it
a lot too. But I think that some people are
just really really afraid of death. I've gone through periods
of time where I'm really afraid of dying, sometimes irrationally.

(27:53):
Irrationally so more so when I had a dog and
like felt responsible for something other than myself. But still
now even I of course have years of dying, but
like so much of getting older does just feel like
a privilege too. I know that's that's corny, but this

(28:17):
is a clip from the take on YouTube. This is
just a short clip of the video. The videos the
three reasons aging is so terrifying in movies and TV.

Speaker 16 (28:27):
You can never really undo the forward march of time.
I'm trying will only tear you apart.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
I put so much pressure on myself, Amore. It's what
I did to myself because of that.

Speaker 16 (28:41):
While the physical changes of aging can come as a shock,
the psychological effects can cut even deeper.

Speaker 3 (28:47):
When I was eighteen, I could do anything.

Speaker 22 (28:51):
Is what I.

Speaker 5 (28:54):
Everything easily.

Speaker 16 (28:55):
I don't move further and further down the timeline of life.
The reality that no matter what we do, there will
be an end can be daunting. Where you had once
settled into things just for now, but always planned to
go after what you actually wanted later, you begin to
realize that there might not be a later where you
can make it happen anymore.

Speaker 3 (29:15):
Happy birthday, Grandma. It's better to be over the hill
and buried under it.

Speaker 16 (29:24):
It can feel like your options have been littled down,
the boundless opportunity of youth replaced with responsibility and having
to worry about more than just you.

Speaker 3 (29:33):
All of a sudden, I'm this overburdened mother. I barely
got to do it, sach, I barely got the chance
to be a person.

Speaker 16 (29:40):
And for many of us, because we've been on such
unsteady round, it feels like we're constantly behind. So we
can feel like if we could just get a little
more time, we could figure everything out.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
But instead the clock keeps ticking away. I can't get
off the couch. I got kicked out of my apartment.
I can't pay any of my bills. My car as a.

Speaker 10 (30:00):
Piece of shit.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I don't have any friends.

Speaker 16 (30:02):
There's so much pressure to do everything, to be everything
you ever wanted to be without compromise that if you
don't fit everything in, it can start to feel like
you've failed.

Speaker 3 (30:12):
I's like, oh, go, I have a sage to see Junior.
I've seen experience is going to.

Speaker 6 (30:15):
Be great, which is fine, necessarily fine, but I don't
have anything to show for my time here.

Speaker 16 (30:21):
There's also the element of feeling like you're being replaced
before your time. Every year that you age is also
another year where yet another crop of younger, fresher, shinier
people pop up to do everything there you want to better.

Speaker 2 (30:34):
I should just retired, him gone out on top.

Speaker 3 (30:37):
Who are you kidding?

Speaker 2 (30:39):
You could never retire.

Speaker 16 (30:41):
You're gonna be up on that stage until you die,
having to contend with feeling like you missed your shot
to be the person that you wanted to be, or
even just to get your life together.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
Can feel genuinely horrifying.

Speaker 10 (30:53):
Older than Stephen Sondeim when he had his first Broadway show,
older than Paul McCartney when he wrote his.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Last song with John Lennon.

Speaker 22 (31:00):
By the time my parents were thirty, they had careers
with steady paychecks.

Speaker 3 (31:05):
A mortgage.

Speaker 16 (31:06):
The idea that the world is changing, but you're not
a driving force, but instead one getting left behind can
totally topple one sense of self and leave you feeling
totally unmoored.

Speaker 10 (31:17):
I am vague.

Speaker 3 (31:19):
It's the picture that gots small.

Speaker 16 (31:21):
And of course, in our modern era, this all dovetails
with the competing notions that we should love ourselves exactly
where we are and appreciate what we have, and that
we should constantly be working to improve ourselves and doing
whatever we have to do to make it up. Even
one more rung of the latter, As we see play
out literally in the substance, this kind of split of
the self only really leads to destruction. Not even the

(31:44):
toughest final girl can run from aging forever. It's the
one thing that will always catch up to us eventually,
and so that generally leads to the final major fear
associated with aging, the unknown that comes after and what
you leave behind.

Speaker 3 (32:00):
It makes sense that we're afraid of death itself. It's
something we don't I.

Speaker 5 (32:04):
Wonder this about Brian. He says he's not afraid of death.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
But that's really hard for me to believe, especially with
his whole ex Mormon upbringing. But I don't know. They
think they're going to heaven, right, one hundred and forty
thousand of them. No, that's Jehovah's witness.

Speaker 5 (32:20):
It's okay. No more religion, No more religion right now.

Speaker 16 (32:24):
Understand, can't control and can't avoid. We never know when
it's going to come for us or how, and we
have no idea what happens afterwards, if there even isn't afterwards.

Speaker 3 (32:34):
Maybe it's better, maybe it's worse, maybe it's nothing at all.

Speaker 16 (32:38):
But on a more tangible level, we often also fear
what we are or aren't leaving behind when we do
finally shovel off this mortal coil.

Speaker 14 (32:46):
You didn't win, Okay, can't you get that through your head?

Speaker 2 (32:50):
It's for you boys. We're fine, Dad, We don't need it.
I just want to leave you something.

Speaker 3 (32:57):
We spend so much of our lives, so concerned with
what we're doing.

Speaker 16 (33:00):
How we're perceived, and the older we get, the more
we start to realize that what we've done is who
we are.

Speaker 26 (33:07):
I thought that small talk was too small, I thought
big talk was too pretentious.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
I thought music was noise, and I thought.

Speaker 2 (33:14):
Art was bullshit.

Speaker 16 (33:16):
The choices we've made, the things we've created, the things
we didn't do, all come together in the end to
create a legacy of us. And that is pretty scary,
which can lead to people making some rather rash decisions
to try to set the record straight while they still can.

Speaker 7 (33:32):
Why do you want to go back to a place
that's done nothing but hurt your feelings because I.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Want those people to know that I'm not a joke, I'm.

Speaker 27 (33:40):
Not hyper one.

Speaker 3 (33:41):
So all of this is pretty horrifying, But does it
have to be? We can't stop at at But really
that isn't a bad thing.

Speaker 16 (33:50):
It certainly can't be scary to feel a time slipping by,
to see yourself and the world around you changing, you're
losing any control.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
You might have thought you had.

Speaker 16 (33:59):
But aging is a part of living. It's in fact
one of the most integral parts of our existence.

Speaker 3 (34:05):
That we don't stay static.

Speaker 16 (34:07):
Forever but are constantly evolving and growing as we continue
to experience life.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
So here I am laughing and learning.

Speaker 16 (34:14):
Indeed, we're lucky if we get to age, because Angelina Jolie,
who has had to go up against the pressures that
come with being one of the world's most beautiful women
aging in the.

Speaker 3 (34:24):
Spotlight, told British Vogue, I do like being older.

Speaker 16 (34:27):
I feel much more comfortable in my forties than I
did when I was younger, Maybe because I don't know,
maybe because my mom didn't live very long. So there's
something about age that feels like a victory instead of
a sadness.

Speaker 28 (34:38):
For me, I think it's an honor to get older.
Not everybody gets to get older. I know we're obsessed
with youths. I would not go back if you paid me.
My skin was tighter, Sure, my stomach was flattered, but
I am so.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Much more comfortable in my skin.

Speaker 16 (34:53):
No matter how much we may want to hold onto
our youth, either out of our own desire or outside
pressures or both, it's just something that will ever realistically
be able to do. And focusing so much of our
effort and attention during our short time on the earth
on that only works to make us more miserable.

Speaker 3 (35:10):
Facing youth is just futile. At least, it's one thing
you're never gonna catch.

Speaker 29 (35:14):
You're gonna get there.

Speaker 3 (35:14):
So it's like, why not just embrace what's going on
and being young forever?

Speaker 16 (35:19):
May initially sound it would actually probably be pretty terrible.

Speaker 3 (35:23):
But you've never grow up, but everybody else will. I'll
have to watch everyone around me die.

Speaker 6 (35:31):
And that's my biggest issue, watching everyone around you die.

Speaker 5 (35:38):
That would be so horrible for me.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
I think already about how many people are dead, and
it's like, do I want to wait like another one
hundred and fifty years before I see.

Speaker 5 (35:49):
My dog again?

Speaker 14 (35:50):
No?

Speaker 6 (35:50):
Probably not, but that's I guess that also is because
I believe I will religion. Brian did stuff like injecting
his son's blood and stem cells into him and measuring
their erections to see their cardiovascular flow.

Speaker 5 (36:13):
So possibly some lines being crossed.

Speaker 6 (36:18):
Of just like what is not that he's doing anything
appropriate to his child, but just of like what's appropriate
to do to ourselves.

Speaker 10 (36:26):
In the open. I had made a fai yesterday that
Jesus has had two thousand years. I don't see any
evidence of his work. I've done more in two years
I'll go as you might expect.

Speaker 20 (36:41):
He talks about himself as being kind of health Jesus,
with like a little bit of humor, but also I
think quite a bit of pride. Hey, he's embracing the
culty aspect of his all, and it only seems to
be building more and more momentum.

Speaker 10 (36:58):
How do you think I appear to your friends?

Speaker 2 (37:00):
It's it's the only way for me to understand that.

Speaker 30 (37:02):
It's if one of my friends dad's starting a cult,
and how I look at that, And I probably wouldn't
think much of it because you're doing it, yes, am I.

Speaker 2 (37:16):
Yeah, it's not a bad thing, it just is.

Speaker 20 (37:21):
I know Brian's tried to force this to be a religion.
There's a part of me that thinks this is almost
like the right religion for this moment. In some ways,
it is like this antidote to the way the world
thinks about health.

Speaker 31 (37:36):
There are still serious concerns about the nation's healthcare system.

Speaker 24 (37:39):
The National Health Service is broken.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
Why is the system letting doctors and patients down?

Speaker 22 (37:46):
The approach to health in pretty much every developed nation
has really been centered around waiting until people develop a
disease and then attempting to cure that disease, but in
reality pretty much just treating symptoms. One of the consequences
of that is that the prevalence of chronic disease has
increased dramatically over the last fifty years.

Speaker 19 (38:07):
We think, you know, I'll go to bed at ninety
and I die in my sleep. That almost never happens.
If you go into a geoiatric world and you see
people in continent immobile, if we do look at it,
if we stay at this interface, it's particularly unpleasant.

Speaker 11 (38:22):
At the moment we are spending so much money treating
very sick individuals.

Speaker 5 (38:27):
This I think moved, well, why wouldn't you help there.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
To keep them healthy? To not having so many people
with age related diseases?

Speaker 11 (38:38):
You know, are paid on procedures. And I remember when
I was at the Buck doing research on aging. There
was a large hospital chain that was thinking about giving
the donation to the research and we talked about health
spand and the CEO looked at me and said, well,
if we do this, you're going to cut our procedure
rate by sixty percent.

Speaker 2 (38:58):
Why would I do this?

Speaker 5 (39:00):
CEO?

Speaker 11 (39:00):
And we think about how we really want to focus
on the health of the population.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
That's doing.

Speaker 2 (39:12):
It's the most proactive thing you can imagine. And the
medical I.

Speaker 6 (39:16):
Actually just thought of something so much more proactive.

Speaker 10 (39:20):
If you know, you know, if we can solve this
fundamental problem, we may walk into a future where all
of us live healthier, longer, with the people that we
care about, all of us.

Speaker 6 (39:37):
I feel like there's going to be like an income requirement,
different class brackets.

Speaker 10 (39:43):
That's so wild, and I know it's here.

Speaker 6 (39:49):
It can all start to feel guilty, it can all
start to be kind of weird. This is why I
can't be on a diet, because I will just turn
it into like my whole I identity.

Speaker 5 (40:01):
But there is some stuff that I do love to do.

Speaker 6 (40:05):
Okay, And here is me and my West Coast doctor,
doctor Wiggins, talking about different biostimulators. What can go wrong
with bbls, what can go wrong with filler?

Speaker 5 (40:19):
What can go right?

Speaker 6 (40:23):
The audio quality is not perfect, so I'm sorry if
there's gonna be a slight volume jump.

Speaker 5 (40:28):
Scare so.

Speaker 1 (40:33):
Easy tel versus p r P what we're doing right now? Yes,
how easy is full like the n Z.

Speaker 18 (40:45):
There's another system and it is PRF so matrix so easy, Joe,
It's great you're gonna go the benefits of the platelets
and themselves.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
It's enough that you'll get a bad treatment with that.
They do endorset, but I chose not to get easy
job that came out just because it wasn't retaining the
volume that I was looking bee.

Speaker 18 (41:16):
So when you think about it, in in that system,
there's no separator fill. So there's in the tube that
we just drew your blood, there's like a separator film. Okay, okay,
So when we put it in this introduge and spin
it down, the red blood cells and the white bood

(41:37):
cells are gonna go.

Speaker 12 (41:38):
Down below the pro inflanatory, the bigger.

Speaker 1 (41:41):
Down below that separator film. And that's what makes you
so unique.

Speaker 18 (41:45):
Proprietary SEPARATORSLF that pulls like a million platelets up through
and it sort of separates out all of the super
good stuff that we want.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
There are some forms of like interarticular injections and things
like that where you want the red blood cells and
the white blood cells included a little bit.

Speaker 12 (42:04):
With PRP, but for esthetic application.

Speaker 1 (42:07):
If we don't really want the high the number.

Speaker 18 (42:12):
Of platelets is where magic is the one platelets I
can get in you for the treatment.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
It's equals the best outcomes of the treatment, right, And so.

Speaker 18 (42:23):
The proprietary separator gel pulls all those platelets out all
of the stem cells that are in the plasma, and
so you get this very to getting this stem cells
to stem cells as well as playletts and platelets.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
Are full of thousands of growth factors inside of kinds
of It's basically all the messages for your body to
heal and make it new tissue.

Speaker 6 (42:49):
That's what these are.

Speaker 1 (42:50):
All biostimulators, so correct, So p r P PRF easy
gel erm of p r P all pr.

Speaker 18 (43:01):
P based biostimulators different in sculp drawn, scope draw synthetic correct.

Speaker 1 (43:10):
It is p l L a l acid which is
created in a lab but fashion more or less after
ara molecule tanature.

Speaker 8 (43:20):
It is its essentially a tiny little crystal formation that
causes just enough irritation.

Speaker 1 (43:27):
As to stimulate college group. And then you know, and
then there's hyper delete rady S, which is.

Speaker 8 (43:33):
A different biosimulator, also created in a lab, but on
calcium hydroxylate or the cajas.

Speaker 12 (43:40):
As you say and distrib interested.

Speaker 1 (43:45):
It seems like you can do like you can make
it literally with a bone, or you can dilute it
like you can do it in the hands hands on percon. Yeah,
we do hands. That's where I'm starting to de like
know is happening.

Speaker 5 (44:00):
My hands freak so much now.

Speaker 1 (44:03):
I've been so careful about the doing sunscreen and then.

Speaker 6 (44:07):
I'm like, hell, I.

Speaker 12 (44:10):
Know and there and they're out there all the time.

Speaker 1 (44:14):
That's the thing. I noticed modes from Patriots so good.

Speaker 5 (44:17):
And then I see my old hands and.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
I'm like, what are the hands of you? But we
can make them for a bad girl.

Speaker 18 (44:25):
And I will tell you during a therapy that we're
doing today absolutely worthless in the back of hands. But
my second choice is the hypertually radios using the class
I really do.

Speaker 1 (44:37):
Because the thing there's so many studies behind.

Speaker 12 (44:40):
Yes, I can do for collagen, not only.

Speaker 8 (44:43):
Collagen the sculpture we're getting collagen, but with absolute radius
we're getting collagen and elastic.

Speaker 1 (44:50):
And so that is my number one choice.

Speaker 12 (44:52):
For craky nexs.

Speaker 1 (44:54):
Okay, you know the scan is amazing. Yes, you can recreate.

Speaker 8 (44:58):
Mon with it, but we use it a ton on
the body, so we fan through scar tissue.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
You can move into uh kind of creepy you know,
like you have a little skin owner tummy.

Speaker 32 (45:16):
We're having a baby that's a little bit creepy and
slatty or.

Speaker 18 (45:23):
No, there's nothing in that, you know, radi acids kind
of stuck right, however, the motion of breaking up the tissue.

Speaker 1 (45:32):
Candy sa Fanning Wednesday Fan Yeah, all of this. Most
of it.

Speaker 32 (45:36):
We're doing canula, which is like a little two it
gets right.

Speaker 12 (45:43):
So it's a long blunt tip.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Sheath that has opening on the side and it comes
engages just like me knows and can be pretty and fine,
like we're gonna get one underneath your eye, Okay, but
then we use the body. We use like a play
to get journey through so much more.

Speaker 33 (46:03):
Yeah, yeah, corrects like to be on yes, and so
you know the thing with using the hyperduly radio, you know,
it's really.

Speaker 18 (46:17):
Beautiful if you're doing a different behind and everything, but
it's great fans through the tummy to just support and.

Speaker 1 (46:27):
The tissue.

Speaker 18 (46:28):
I have hair hyper duly radios all the time of
the music results. So we'll do tummys, we'll do fips.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
And kind of like a symmetry correction one that's.

Speaker 12 (46:40):
A little more than the other.

Speaker 18 (46:42):
Or you know, there's all kinds of really great you know,
none of it is surgical. These are all we specialize
in non surgical.

Speaker 1 (46:51):
Uh, that's body.

Speaker 32 (46:53):
If you're doing something like it's even you're doing anything.

Speaker 1 (46:58):
Around the bottom, there's nerve where you can just like doing.

Speaker 5 (47:03):
Something dangers of bb ls.

Speaker 12 (47:06):
You're doing anything.

Speaker 9 (47:08):
Around the bottom, there's like nerd where you can just
like paralize.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
The yell the Brazilian poblet is so so dangerous. Any
that gets into seeing this current.

Speaker 12 (47:24):
Yeah, yeah, and you're gonna there's so much tissue about there.

Speaker 1 (47:29):
You're you're putting other things in there. Okay, you're telling
that you cannot know if.

Speaker 32 (47:38):
There's so many things, so many things, if you will
get a picture of.

Speaker 18 (47:43):
That online, it's just wild how many names are so
so many, And so it's really.

Speaker 12 (47:51):
Important to use something you're not gonna because of that.
And that's why I absolutely absolutely love using.

Speaker 8 (47:59):
Your because we don't need never bet on a vascular
occlusion with german archy, and.

Speaker 1 (48:08):
The vascular conclusion is where something that's harder than blood.

Speaker 12 (48:13):
Don't think your blood self, you're taking like that.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
It doesn't need to be harder anything.

Speaker 12 (48:21):
Well it I mean, it can be anything.

Speaker 18 (48:24):
It is possible that the sculpture typically says they don't
have vascular because it's.

Speaker 1 (48:29):
In and I believe there was just one in the
Temple of Temple, but I don't know that. Yeah, obviously
because that vascular fet your eye.

Speaker 12 (48:41):
If that's the truth.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
So there there, That's why, this is why there's just areas.
You gotta know your anatomy.

Speaker 6 (48:48):
Why people doing do it yourself online injections here.

Speaker 1 (48:56):
Themselves all the time? Not worth it.

Speaker 18 (49:01):
And yeah, once it happens, it's very hard to reverse
and you need like an ocular surgeon.

Speaker 1 (49:07):
And falls right away into the plastics and it's really messy.
And so I'm always looking.

Speaker 9 (49:13):
At saints and the people to the pr in the list,
would it like leve the filler though or no, no,
there's not.

Speaker 12 (49:24):
Apples to apples to apples and oranges. Okay, so basically.

Speaker 1 (49:29):
Prep in the lip is definitely going to pluck it
up again. It's good.

Speaker 5 (49:34):
But what I noticed is that it pas the.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
Lips up because you're.

Speaker 21 (49:37):
Cutting that.

Speaker 9 (49:40):
Blush it there's a beautiful ber So then recreating a
shape if you wanted.

Speaker 32 (49:44):
To do that as something like that and you just
go in with a pluronic asid filler.

Speaker 12 (49:51):
Well, I what I like to do when I'm doing
in Derma.

Speaker 10 (49:54):
He's trying to.

Speaker 12 (49:55):
Correct the little fine lines going into the list.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
That the area above the you don't want to see
lungs and thoughts. I mean, the Christmas order is what
it's all about right now, and we don't want to
see any lead of the filler into.

Speaker 12 (50:12):
The tissue outside of the book.

Speaker 1 (50:15):
And shi really is migration. Migration, it's super easy to happen.

Speaker 12 (50:20):
You have to choose to have the right technique.

Speaker 32 (50:24):
Give too much of one's not doing to stages at once.
You're much more likely to say if you haven't set before,
just start out with a range.

Speaker 12 (50:35):
And I've never been there.

Speaker 1 (50:37):
Editor my roll of film on a.

Speaker 12 (50:41):
Personal flops I feel.

Speaker 6 (50:44):
And I'll post our whole conversation on Patreon just for free.
But I'm also gonna explain her doing the pr P

Speaker 1 (50:58):
Okay, So and we have imagine juice.

Speaker 8 (51:01):
Yes, this is your p R pr P R plasma,
but has this is your prefacious hill.

Speaker 1 (51:16):
So this is it's really that?

Speaker 12 (51:20):
Yes it does?

Speaker 8 (51:22):
And uh yeah, yes, so this is all of the
parking matrix that we heeded and chill and then now
I get to selectively.

Speaker 1 (51:33):
It's these different consistencies.

Speaker 12 (51:35):
As if I would pick different types of fear face.

Speaker 8 (51:39):
I get to make stuff use for your tempo and
your cheek a little bit more this cyst.

Speaker 26 (51:44):
And to have a higher key crime.

Speaker 1 (51:46):
And then I'm going to mix more of the play
that plasma and versus to go under your eyes. So
it's fitter.

Speaker 12 (51:56):
That's so cool.

Speaker 24 (51:57):
That's so cool.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Yeah, so more different than filler.

Speaker 2 (52:01):
Not a killer.

Speaker 1 (52:03):
You cannot do that.

Speaker 8 (52:05):
It's so customizable, which one of the reasons also sixty
And if so, how is that.

Speaker 16 (52:20):
My math?

Speaker 1 (52:21):
Third?

Speaker 5 (52:21):
Third, thirteen, We're you know, you know, I have to
think about that.

Speaker 12 (52:29):
Do what I want to get.

Speaker 5 (52:32):
I've really enjoyed my treatments.

Speaker 6 (52:34):
If you're listening to this in February, you can get
a one hundred dollars off your PRP treatment just mention
either the podcast.

Speaker 1 (52:44):
Or me.

Speaker 6 (52:46):
Or yeah, those two things, and also doing a little
SPA giveaway over on Instagram if you want to check
that out.

Speaker 5 (52:55):
But I've really enjoyed my esthetic.

Speaker 6 (52:58):
Appointments and doing that kind of stuff. I should be
better about doing the internal stuff. I am really good
about taking my vitamins and exercising and stuff, but I'd
constantly still I've been trying to quit. I have the
hardest time trying to quit. And I need to go

(53:19):
to like one of the RFK farms. Just kidding, just kidding,
FBI CIA if you still.

Speaker 5 (53:29):
You guys are still around.

Speaker 6 (53:31):
But what does worry me is people being obsessed with
the physical anti aging stuff at.

Speaker 5 (53:39):
A much younger age. It's really weird.

Speaker 6 (53:43):
It's really weird for me to see like twenty year
olds getting botox. I didn't start doing anything until I
was thirty six, and I would have waited longer, but
I lost so much volume in my face after my dog.

Speaker 5 (54:00):
I lost like thirty.

Speaker 6 (54:01):
Pounds and then it just was not coming back in
my face even when I gained weight.

Speaker 5 (54:07):
So that's when I got.

Speaker 6 (54:08):
Into really into biostimulators and stuff like that. I do
like the more natural approaches, but I want to talk
a little bit about aging going forward, and like, I
feel like Death Becomes Her really really holds up. It's

(54:29):
not streaming anywhere for free, but if you can rent it,
I feel like it just really holds up. This is
for Ammashable. It's called why Death Becomes Her is Perfect cinema.

Speaker 31 (54:49):
I'm here today to talk to you about perfect I
quote Death Becomes Her more readily than I can tell
you what my left from right right. That's probably not
something to confess on the internet. It is not necessarily
Halloween movie. I like to think of it as a
everyday movie because it is a formative film for me.
It is a movie that I watched so much as
a kid that I just assumed everyone had these same

(55:09):
reference points.

Speaker 3 (55:10):
So like, if someone's like.

Speaker 31 (55:11):
Now a warning, You're like now a warning, Like that's
just in me.

Speaker 3 (55:14):
Death Becomes Her is a story that was supposed.

Speaker 31 (55:18):
To be like a noir story about a man who
murders his wife and then she comes back from the dead,
and it is that, but it's so much more because essentially,
when you cast Meryl Streep and Goldiehan to play women
who hate each other not just to death, but beyond death,
that movie is no longer about the guy. Though props
to Bruce Willis. I think this is the funniest he

(55:38):
has ever been in his career, and that is not
a slight. I loved him from Moonlighting onward. But in
Death Becomes Her him is like a schlubby drunk, former
plastic surgeon, turn like more makeup artist.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
It is the role he was born to play. But Meryl,
there are so few movies where you get to.

Speaker 31 (55:54):
Watch absolute divas of acting just face off and like
we're talking like Joan Crawford, Betty whatever happened to Baby
Jane and like death becomes her?

Speaker 3 (56:02):
Like these are the same tier of amazing.

Speaker 31 (56:06):
But that doesn't even give you to like the crazy
special effects, which like at the time were not just mind.

Speaker 3 (56:11):
Blowing, they were oscar winning.

Speaker 31 (56:13):
Just know watching it that, like everything that you're seeing
was like completely groundbreaking at the time, to the point
where the screenwriters were told to just write whatever they
wanted and not worry about how it would come together
on screen. Robertson Mecis was like, we'll figure it out.
They had to invent technology to turn her head around.

Speaker 3 (56:28):
They had to invent.

Speaker 31 (56:28):
Technology to show Goldie Hallan swanding around with a hole
in her stomach.

Speaker 3 (56:32):
That stuff wasn't already there.

Speaker 31 (56:34):
This is like no Joe Jurassic Park level special effects
applied to two women who hate each other throwing things
at each other. It makes me so happy when that
javelin goes through Helen's whole.

Speaker 3 (56:47):
I mean, that's cinema. What to watch this Halloween?

Speaker 5 (56:50):
Check are one O Death Becomes Her holds up?

Speaker 6 (56:54):
Is it coming full circle with these fourteen year olds
who are wanting to stop the aging process?

Speaker 5 (57:03):
I kind of feel like it's the opposite. I kind
of feel like, even with.

Speaker 6 (57:09):
That story and how ridiculous it's supposed to be, those
women are our middle aged so I feel like we've
gotten even darker. It's like if Death Becomes Her was
remade and they cast teenagers, they did make it into
a musical. Has anyone seen that? I also, I'm going

(57:33):
to play this clip. This is actually from CBC News
that this was really talked about a year ago and
is kind of not so much anymore but the Zephora tweens,
but it's very much still a thing with these girls
who haven't even finished going through puberty yet doing like
my skincare routine, and.

Speaker 5 (58:01):
All the ten year old and Sephora.

Speaker 3 (58:03):
Twenty young girls at this eight year old's birthday party.

Speaker 27 (58:09):
Look closely. This isn't a jungle gym or an arcade.
It's a Sephora feels so hard they feel they're all
getting skincare and makeup done. Abby Brass organized the event
for her daughter London.

Speaker 3 (58:23):
It was the only party that literally no one said
no to. I've never had.

Speaker 28 (58:28):
RSVP positive on an invitation, but everyone wanted to come
to Sephora skincare has.

Speaker 27 (58:34):
Become a major craze for young girls, and by young
I mean not even teenagers. Yet every time I've stepped
into a Sephora recently, I've seen some inside and I'm
not the only one noticing this.

Speaker 23 (58:45):
I do see it sometimes because of the whole concept
of beauty and like how like things online can make
you insecure, it does like worry me a bit.

Speaker 16 (58:54):
I have a younger sister and she's definitely starting to
get into more make up up stuff.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
I know a lot of girls are getting into like retinal.

Speaker 34 (59:02):
And stuff, and you know wild, I mean, if they want,
it's good for all.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
London definitely does.

Speaker 10 (59:19):
So.

Speaker 25 (59:19):
I saw this ATPA and I really wanted it for
my birthday.

Speaker 3 (59:23):
What would you normally put.

Speaker 5 (59:25):
In with it? Her trunk elephant? Mario Bedesto, you.

Speaker 3 (59:33):
And your sister traded.

Speaker 5 (59:36):
Can you show me some of the this is baby.

Speaker 12 (59:40):
I got this from Sophora.

Speaker 5 (59:42):
That's my birthday gift.

Speaker 25 (59:43):
You had to come to Alda because because they came
out with a new fat oil.

Speaker 3 (59:49):
Every time you go into Sephora now it's just all
little girls.

Speaker 6 (59:54):
This is why people were saying there needs to be
an age requirement to shop here.

Speaker 29 (59:58):
There's a controversial Bible trend igniting a firestorm. Tween girls
obsessed with beauty products, some taking over the aisles and
reeking habit in stores like Sephora and Alta, and social
media is divided in the middle of Thursday.

Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
Wis these kids in school whose mom is buying them
those The.

Speaker 6 (01:00:17):
Amount of twelve year olds in they're like taking up
every single section and the stories actually outrages.

Speaker 3 (01:00:24):
Whose teenager came in and destroyed our store?

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
What is driving kids to Sephora these days?

Speaker 31 (01:00:30):
It's almost like a candy land of makeup and skincare
and beauty.

Speaker 29 (01:00:36):
Popular and high end brands like Drunk Elephant, Charlotte Tilbury
and Glow Recipe with steep price tags now considered mustaps
for girls.

Speaker 3 (01:00:49):
Plender it's not like Cantalo, but I actually really like it.

Speaker 29 (01:00:53):
Too young for their own credit cards, too young to
use TikTok or Instagram, but that's not stopping them from
ultra lux skincare holes.

Speaker 3 (01:01:02):
This is Generation Alpha, so buckal up mornings.

Speaker 5 (01:01:07):
I have this face oil, super good and moisturizing.

Speaker 3 (01:01:12):
Jen Alpha is a consumer of Tomorrow Sephora and Gottora.

Speaker 29 (01:01:18):
Tiny influencers with big personalities are sprouting up all over
social media.

Speaker 18 (01:01:23):
Hey guys and Adriana and today I'm gonna be trying
the bubbles.

Speaker 7 (01:01:28):
Next I'm gonna go in with my tapcha nice little moisturizer.

Speaker 4 (01:01:33):
And I am obsessed with this.

Speaker 29 (01:01:36):
It seems that everyone is taking sides on whether this
hot new trend is appropriate. Like realities are Bethany Frankel.

Speaker 21 (01:01:45):
Girls that are my daughter's age, that are her peers
talk to me like, I'm there peer, So what do
you think of the door? Do you have the drunk elephant?
Do you have the Charlotte Stillbrey? And I'm like, you're fourteen.

Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
My daughter is empathetic, she gets good.

Speaker 31 (01:02:00):
She wants to spend her hard and allowance money to
put us a fore and bias or the genera illusion.

Speaker 3 (01:02:04):
I'm gonna let her do it. But how young is
too young?

Speaker 29 (01:02:08):
In all these elaborate skincare routines, see for kids, No.

Speaker 25 (01:02:17):
So who's the bad who's cadat This is my bolf,
This is eleven year old Hadley.

Speaker 3 (01:02:27):
And generation we have on Earth.

Speaker 29 (01:02:34):
Has been studying this generation from more than a decade
candle for social research organizations through surveys studies.

Speaker 35 (01:02:45):
In the past, children were seen but not heard, and
Generation Alpha is definitely being seen and heard.

Speaker 7 (01:02:51):
And listen to.

Speaker 35 (01:02:53):
They are quite an empowered generation and that's why we
say they do have that purchasing power beyond their years.
On their income, which is quite minimal at this point
in time.

Speaker 29 (01:03:06):
One of the nation's most precious commodities, not gold or silver. Tweenagers,
or more accurately Jen Alpha kids, a term Ashley herself
helped cointe.

Speaker 35 (01:03:19):
That this generation, by the time people will have about
US five trillion dollars in spending power, all money spent
on them.

Speaker 29 (01:03:28):
So it's no wonder the beauty industry expected to reach
five hundred and eighty billion dollars globally by twenty twenty seven.

Speaker 3 (01:03:35):
Is after their attention.

Speaker 7 (01:03:39):
Show of hands for who has skincare on their Christmas
wish list?

Speaker 31 (01:03:44):
Everybody who use some kind of skincare today.

Speaker 24 (01:03:49):

million face masks, and a lot of.

Speaker 6 (01:04:06):
Stuff elephant, bubble birdsbes.

Speaker 5 (01:04:09):
Why is this making me more depressed than what do
your parents think?

Speaker 10 (01:04:12):
When you say you can care for Christmas? They kind
of like paused for a second. They're like, do you
need it?

Speaker 7 (01:04:20):
Fueling a growing demand for moisturizers, cleansers, face masks, and
more so much so brands are marketing to this age group.
Generation Alpha born in twenty ten and beyond is a trends.
Some parents are feeling grinchy about this holiday season.

Speaker 29 (01:04:35):
That feels incredibly young and shocking and yet super pervasive.

Speaker 3 (01:04:39):
Do you feel like they're growing up too fast?

Speaker 10 (01:04:41):
Yes, definitively yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:04:44):
Brian Johnson may be onto something because this was recently
featured on Ancient Ailien and well nine years ago.

Speaker 26 (01:04:58):
Some experts believe that by the year twenty fifty, scientists
and engineers will have unlocked the secrets.

Speaker 5 (01:05:06):
One is about fifteen years from now the production.

Speaker 26 (01:05:09):
Of artificial organs and silicone based structures. Ancient astronaut theorists suggest, yes,
there is that we are experimenting with transhumanism today, who
it is very.

Speaker 5 (01:05:23):
Possible, are very possible in terrestrial.

Speaker 26 (01:05:26):
Race has already achieved similar technological advancements.

Speaker 5 (01:05:31):
They're three D printing a human.

Speaker 24 (01:05:33):
A civilization millions of years older.

Speaker 5 (01:05:36):
Than us could have actually this man's pudentials baby.

Speaker 3 (01:05:40):
Steps that we're taking right now.

Speaker 26 (01:05:43):
If we are doing this, is it possible that another
civilization has done the same thing?

Speaker 2 (01:05:50):
But perhaps thousands.

Speaker 5 (01:05:51):
If ancient astronauts. Theorists say yes when we look at
some of them with the hair we have one you're
thinking of talking about.

Speaker 10 (01:06:02):
Ancient astronauts that came to visit us.

Speaker 5 (01:06:05):
But what if nothing? Nothing talks about that drawings.
