00:00:00.180 You see drugs that came out that were revolutionary that we use, GLP-1 being one of them, and that came out in 2005.
00:00:07.940 Then you go look at when hair transplant became a thing, and that was back in 19—I want to say 1960s, if I'm not mistaken.
00:00:18.760 Let me see this here. Yeah, so you got hair transplant, 1960s, first performed in 1950 by Dr. Norman Arendtreich.
00:00:26.440 That was the first one we ever did.
00:00:28.400 Breast implants since 1962, okay?
00:00:31.460 First silicone implants was in 1962.
00:00:34.060 Birth control pills, May 9th, 1960, FDA approved.
00:00:37.800 A lot of people say that was one of the worst things that we did with birth control pills.
00:00:41.140 You got Viagra's March 27th, 1998.
00:00:45.700 You know, a lot of happy campers because of that one, okay?
00:00:49.140 But they also say there's some side effects with that.
00:00:51.080 And you got the GLP ones, April 2005.
00:00:53.460 What do you think is going to be the next big thing that hasn't happened yet?
00:00:56.440 in terms of advances advances or even you know a pleasure quick fix because remember viagra that
00:01:04.520 was like a guys were making a kill and just selling that pill when it first came out
00:01:08.700 pharmaceutical sales people were all going to you know saying hey i want to be able to sell
00:01:12.820 that product i hear guys are making two three four hundred thousand dollars a year it was such
00:01:16.020 an easy product to sell to doctors what do you think could be the next thing next big thing
00:01:20.780 hmm we're becoming more vain social media is not going away we want to look good
00:01:25.840 you know we want to look sexy we want to look appealing this is a tough one pat i don't know
00:01:31.800 here you know i mean peptides and glps glps are a peptide but i think we've kind of already
00:01:36.900 talked about this but i think peptides and glps are the next big thing so i think from glps we
00:01:41.540 have to say it's it's kind of already here is the peptides you know now we've got the gnrh
00:01:46.840 secretagogues. We've got BPC-157.
00:01:49.360 You've got the other classes of peptides
00:01:51.140 that people are using also. I think that's
00:01:52.960 already here. That's going to happen
00:01:54.980 as well. And that, just like the GLPs,
00:01:57.000 has some pretty significant
00:01:59.140 contingencies to think
00:02:00.980 about. But is it insecurities? Because
00:02:02.900 you've got guys who have hair issues
00:02:04.720 and guys who don't have hair issues
00:02:07.160 and there's a massive
00:02:09.040 insecurity that causes people
00:02:10.980 to say, let me go fix my hair. And you can go to Turkey
00:02:12.840 and do it for whatever, $4,000 to $6,000
00:02:15.200 or you can do it here for $25,000 to $30,000.
00:02:17.640 The other day, my son, both of them are like,
00:02:20.900 Dad, I don't know if you know or not.
00:02:23.380 What's that, buddy?
00:02:24.480 You're going bald here.
00:02:26.040 And they take a video.
00:02:27.080 They're like, look at this.
00:02:28.200 I said, buddy, take that camera off my head right now.
00:02:30.520 You know, they're kind of going through the whole thing.
00:02:32.260 Boys are very different.
00:02:33.580 They have no filters. 0.93
00:02:35.160 Insecurity, breast implants, right?
00:02:36.840 Some people in 60s.
00:02:38.700 1962, Rob.
00:02:39.860 How old was Marilyn Monroe in 1962?
00:02:42.580 I wonder.
00:02:43.760 What year was Marilyn Monroe born?
00:02:46.900 She was born in 20—oh, she died in 62.
00:02:50.700 Interesting. 0.95
00:02:51.300 The year she died, they came out with breast implants.
00:02:53.980 So maybe everybody wanted to be, you know, kind of like her.
00:02:57.380 So insecurities with birth control, maybe that's more like a risk.
00:03:02.700 Allow me to be reckless and have sex without having anything to worry about.
00:03:06.540 Viagra, there's an element of insecurity. 0.83
00:03:08.480 GLP-1s, weight.
00:03:10.880 Botox is already huge. 0.69
00:03:12.260 you know massive it's a massive number by the way on botox it's a big number and there's some
00:03:17.200 some really interesting stuff with botox there's a clip circulating from euphoria season three i
00:03:21.760 don't watch this but i saw it maybe we can pull it up it's two characters it's it it's at one of
00:03:26.900 the characters weddings and there's this really interesting juxtaposition of one one actress
00:03:33.500 has a large amount of botox in her face and the other actress sydney sweeney doesn't have as much
00:03:39.080 botox and so that's a clip where they're at the sydney sweeney's character is at her wedding
00:03:44.140 and this these two characters are arguing and then one character with botox on her face is saying
00:03:49.680 we paid we paid for our kids college fund and you can see her getting very angry and her face isn't
00:03:54.540 moving at all and then sydney sweeney says what does that have to do with me and you can see her
00:03:58.920 furrowing her brow and her you know her the muscles of the glabella muscles in the forehead
00:04:04.040 it's very interesting because we'll find the clip um it's it's it's out there on x for sure it's
00:04:10.660 just it's at her wedding you know and the one actress but what's interesting about this for
00:04:14.640 me is i think botox see if it comes up if you type in botox is is that um i found a recent study and
00:04:22.600 i posted about this on x that where you inject the botox in your face matters so there's some
00:04:30.920 studies that show that if you inject the frown lines with botox it improves depression scores
00:04:47.320 so there's something called in this theory of embodied emotions that when we feel an emotion
00:04:52.320 whether it's sadness or happiness or other emotions that i'll get to in a moment our face moves and
00:04:57.460 our face moving with these emotions is integral to actually feeling the emotion so if you inject
00:05:04.460 the frown lines in the face or maybe these 11s here in the middle of your face I've never had
00:05:09.380 any Botox but you know I look at my face and I think should I get this and then I read this study 0.99
00:05:13.940 if you inject the frown lines or you inject the places in your face that are being expressed when
00:05:18.740 you have negative emotions it actually improves depression scores but if you inject the parts of
00:05:22.780 your face, like the laugh lines, it worsens depression scores because you can't, the theory
00:05:28.120 would be you can't express the happiness as much. And so there was a recent study that looked at
00:05:32.960 that. And then it also looked at, and again, it's one study. And I think it was a small study of 36
00:05:37.780 women, but there was a similar finding that when they injected certain areas of the face, women
00:05:42.680 reported less orgasm intensity because- You couldn't see if they're enjoying it or not. 0.52
00:05:48.300 Well, because they can't express the enjoyment on their face when they're having the orgasm
00:05:53.720 because you're paralyzing the facial muscles.
00:05:56.280 So moving your face, yes, this is exactly it.
00:05:59.700 So this is the, they use something called the sexual satisfaction score.
00:06:04.940 And so they had lower orgasm intensity and enjoyment because you can't,
00:06:10.920 you need to move your face to embody an emotion.
00:06:13.660 It's interesting.
00:06:14.400 Again, it's one study, but there's a lot of people getting Botox.
00:06:17.940 And I thought that clip from Euphoria was fascinating 1.00
00:06:20.340 because you can see this woman getting very angry 0.99
00:06:22.080 and her face isn't moving.
00:06:24.180 And as humans, as you and I are sitting across the table.
00:06:26.880 Cumberto, Rob, did you guys find that clip or no?
00:06:29.000 I could not.
00:06:29.880 Have Cumberto look for it.
00:06:31.420 Is Martin here?
00:06:32.240 Martin can find it.
00:06:33.100 We have it in ours.
00:06:34.600 Yeah, we'll find it.
00:06:35.760 You want to just text it to Rob and we'll add it?
00:06:38.140 We'll add to it?
00:06:39.120 Yeah.
00:06:39.440 Okay.
00:06:39.760 We'll come back to it.
00:06:41.240 It's not live, so we can re-edit and add that part to it, Rob,
00:06:43.760 and we can cut some of this part.
00:06:45.260 Yeah.
00:06:45.660 As you and I are talking to each other, I'm looking at your face.
00:06:49.040 There's a complex interplay.
00:06:50.540 Is Pat angry?
00:06:51.600 Is he sad?
00:06:52.260 Is he happy?
00:06:52.840 Does he like what I'm saying?
00:06:54.160 Think about the bonding that goes on between a mother and a child.
00:06:56.540 No question.
00:06:57.100 Right?
00:06:57.360 Think about the complex emotional dance that happens between two people during courtship.
00:07:04.380 And think about the way that paralyzing too much of your face could affect this.
00:07:08.140 Again, I'm not saying...
00:07:09.740 Comedians must hate this.
00:07:11.200 Yeah.
00:07:11.360 If you go to, like, a comedy club in, like, you know, Highland Park, Dallas, and everybody's on Botox, and you're like, are these people enjoying it or not?
00:07:22.200 You just can't tell because they're not smiling.
00:07:23.880 You can't tell.
00:07:24.780 And so, look, there's ways apparently, again, I've never had any Botox, but there's ways that you can do baby Botox and maybe not paralyze it or be careful with the muscles.
00:07:34.180 But, you know, you say, what's next?
00:07:35.720 And I'm thinking, well, at least what's now?
00:07:37.540 Like, I just think there's a word of caution with Botox.
00:07:40.640 And I know women and men want to look young.
00:07:43.020 And look, I've got some lines across my forehead that I'm self-conscious about.
00:07:46.700 But do I want to affect my ability to feel an emotion?
00:07:52.180 And do I want to affect my ability to bond with someone potentially my future kids?
00:07:55.640 That's something to consider.
00:07:57.020 No, I mean, listen, you look at me, you can see freeways on my forehead.
00:08:01.420 You see this stuff in the middle of my eye.
00:08:02.580 That's important.
00:08:03.360 I love it.
00:08:04.100 I love it.
00:08:05.140 But, you know, it is a big business when you look at Botox.
00:08:08.540 The numbers on it is staggering.
00:08:10.640 on how many people are using it i think it was 85 percent of people that use uh uh do we have the
00:08:17.360 numbers on that with botox rob it's a very very high number on what percentage are women and how
00:08:23.040 much money is being spent in it and what we're doing with that yeah right there 85 to 94 percent
00:08:28.320 of all botox cosmetic procedures are performed on women with millions receiving injections annually
00:08:34.000 in the u.s while only one percent total u.s population gets botox survey indicate up to 42
00:08:39.360 percent of women have had the treatment the highest usage in among women 40 to 54 though
00:08:45.200 preventative Botox is surging in those under 40. Preventative Botox this is preventative Botox
00:08:51.520 women in their 20s and 30s who say I don't want to get a wrinkle so I'm going to paralyze the 0.99
00:08:56.760 muscles now they don't have a wrinkle they're trying to get rid of they're trying to prevent 1.00
00:09:00.820 wrinkles this is I mean it's kind of scary you know it's you think I mean there's women in their 0.52
