Foreign hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. I was looking the other day on the Daily Mail, and there is a buxom woman named Jessica Alves that I recognized with those stunning white teeth and those ice blue eyes. And I thought, gosh, that looks like a guy I interviewed some years ago on the Fox Business Network on my eponymous show at the time named Rodrigo Alves. Rodrigo was also known as the Human Kendall. And he had had so many surgeries, so many dozens of surgeries to change and perfect his appearance, that he just stopped counting. But by the time I had interviewed him, he had teeth that truly look like piano keys. They were so unnaturally white and so perfectly rectangular, it was almost unsettling. Although I found Rodrigo at the time to be a very, very nice, fun person to talk to. He had a hard time sitting because he had had some ribs removed. So, you know, clearly this is a person who had become addicted to plastic surgery, who didn't recognize himself anymore and just needed surgery to keep going to finally manifest the perfect being that he knew he would eventually become. You know, clearly has body dysmorphia. But it was nice and chatty and fun to talk to and a little wild, even though he had a hard time sitting. And I remember looking at the discomfort that he was experiencing, wondering why someone would put themselves through that. And then Rodrigo clearly realized that the only way he could justify getting more surgeries is if he became Jessica. And so Jessica was born, and now Rodrigo is Jessica. And she has, like, when we joke about breast implants being the size of volleyballs, I think they're bigger than volleyballs. I think they might be basketball sized implants. And you can go ahead and find Jessica Alves and you can see the work that she's had done. And I bet since that interview, Jessica's had some more ribs removed because her waist is now like. Like this. It's just teeny tiny. And of course, women, in particular men, sure, to some degree, but women look at other perfect face tuned pictures and images on social media and they freak out and they're like, well, I want to look like that. And the idea of perfection has changed over the years, and you have to be kind of careful about it because as more AI moves into porn and people are able to manipulate what they want to see and Taylor make these cartoonish avatars, there's no way that the human form will be able to keep up with that because it is a physical impossibility to keep yourself upright if you keep surgically enhancing your dimensions, but also it's very, very expensive and painful. So obviously it is. I think esthetics play an important part in happiness and your self esteem. And people who say it doesn't matter, they are lying because it doesn't matter what you look like. Everyone is vain on some level. And particularly if you are in the public eye people, the first thing they do when they don't like you is they attack your appearance. So there is a lot of pressure on people who are influencers, people who are in media, people who want to be famous, people who just, you know, want to expand their social network and get clicks and likes to look a certain way. At some point we are going to have to give up the idea of perfection because it's, it will, with the growth in AI, it will become an impossibility and you will just have to rely on filters. And you know, I don't think people are going to embrace natural beauty and self love fully anytime soon. But the point of aesthetics should also be coupled with living a good life and also longevity. And that's something that you have to think about because if you are taking things out of your body and if you are manipulating bones, if you ask anyone who has had an injury or surgery to one of their joints, they will tell you that tissue changes over time and not necessarily for the better. Don't go anywhere. More Kennedy Saves the World right after this.

So there was a story in the cut about a young woman, 25 years old who had her ribs broken and manipulated by a plastic surgeon so she would have more of a waste. And you know, she was talking about how great the procedure was that the plastic surgeon that she was working for didn't do it for free, charged her $10,000 to break her 10th and 11th ribs. And, and he said it's like breaking a pencil. You crack it and part of it is broken, but the other part is still attached. And that's how he explained with the surgery and her cartilage and the way her ribs naturally were, that by doing this unnatural procedure that it would somehow give her a waste and she would be happy. And she might be happy for a while, but if you're spending that much Money As a 25 year old, you know she still has to work. She's still an assistant in a plastic surgeon's office. It's not like she's a socialite who's independently wealthy, living off a massive trust fund. So if you are willing to spend that much of your personal savings, then at some point you're going to find more and more wrong with yourself and more reasons to keep surgically augmenting your body. So, and if you do that, doesn't it make sense that instead of breaking things and taking things out as Rodrigo now Jessica did with the ribs, if you add things, like if you're Kylie Jenner and you add a giant pair of fun bags and it helps you become a billionaire, you know, obviously you can rationalize that on some level, but also, if you want to, you can take your implants out at some point. If you put too much filler in your face, like Chrissy Teigen, you can dissolve it. Courtney Cox did that. She was like, I put so much filler in my face, I didn't even realize what I was doing. And that's what people with body dysmorphia see when they look in the mirror. They see someone else. They don't see what is actually happening, and they don't see their face changing over time. Because if you haven't seen someone for a while and they put a bunch of in their face, they are essentially unrecognizable. So either we are all going to go down this path and we are all going to pay hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to compete with AI sex bots and try and perfect ourselves, whatever that means to be perfect in someone else's eyes. Because if you are really disfiguring yourself, you don't like what you see to begin with, and you're never, ever going to be satisfied. Although I would like to think Jessica Alves is on some level. So maybe we go the natural route. Maybe we go the slightly unnatural natural route. So did you see the new skims bush thong? Yes, ladies, you can be completely manicured south of the border. You can be as smooth as one of Zoran Mamdani's socialist lines, but still have a wild jungle bush. When you put on one of Kim Kardashian's new pube thongs, I don't understand the point of it. I feel like if you want to go the jungle route, then have at it and, you know, put down the weed whacker, forego the waxer, say nay to the Nair, and just let. Just. Just let the. The jungle do what a jungle wants to do and that's thrive and have its tentacles peek out from your teeny tiny bikini. Or if your fellow's in the mood for, you know, a big hairy snack one night, then you can throw on one of the pube thongs and give him the temporary fix that he's looking for. Although if he is one of those peculiar people who has those odd beauty standards and then all of a sudden wants you to get basketball size implants, I would run and go back to the shire and embrace the natural side of you. Because that may be the only thing that saves your savings. Because by the time you're a little old lady and you don't have any money left but you have gigantic gargan breast implants that are harder than obsidian rocks, you may be in a world of hurt because you won't be able to sit upright. And if you get those ribs removed and broken and chopped and channeled, you may not be able to sit at all. So what does it say about our beauty standards? We no longer have any idea what we find beautiful. And I think we are over reliant on the outside world to tell us how hot we actually are. You have to be your own barometer of sexy. Trust me on this. Get back to what makes you feel good and then you can start screwing around by bolting on new parts when it is only absolutely necessary.
