Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I've never heard of this. This is bizarre beauty trend
- 0:05Speaker 1: that is seeing men trimming their eyelashes to look more masculine.
- 0:10Speaker 2: Look more masculine. Men are all about this looks maxing
- 0:12Speaker 2: business these days.
- 0:14Speaker 1: Some. TikTok invention. The TikTok men.
- 0:19Speaker 2: Well, actually, isn't this where it came from? Videos on
- 0:22Speaker 2: TikTok of men. Trimming their eyelashes. And it was one
- 0:25Speaker 2: of those, you know, TikTok videos. But rather than just
- 0:28Speaker 2: fizzling out, it's turned into a global trend. Well, as
- 0:31Speaker 2: you're telling the story, you said it looks more masculine?
- 0:36Speaker 1: Well, if you want to look like BTS.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 0:38Speaker 1: You know, that Korean boy band type situation.
- 0:43Speaker 2: You know, they're not there for looks, eyelashes. They serve
- 0:46Speaker 2: a very important function.
- 0:47Speaker 1: So it's like, I would have thought it, I mean...
- 0:50Speaker 1: not to mention incredibly uncomfortable, it must be quite dangerous
- 0:53Speaker 1: to do that.
- 0:55Speaker 2: Eyelashes prevent dirt and debris and skin, dead cells and
- 0:59Speaker 2: sweat and all that getting into your eyes as well
- 1:02Speaker 2: as UV rays.
- 1:03Speaker 1: I mean, look, the eyebrows I kind of get. And,
- 1:05Speaker 1: you know, when I go to the barber once in
- 1:06Speaker 1: a while, he'll say to me, he'll say, look, you've
- 1:09Speaker 1: got a stray Johnny Howard going on there. Do you
- 1:12Speaker 1: want a little bit of a touch up? And I go, yeah, well, look,
- 1:14Speaker 1: while you're there. And they get the little comb and just, because,
- 1:16Speaker 1: you know, you get the rogue one. You don't want
- 1:18Speaker 1: to look like Martin Scorsese or someone like that, all
- 1:22Speaker 1: bushed up above the eyes, but not the eyelashes. I've
- 1:25Speaker 1: never heard of this.
- 1:27Speaker 2: No, I pay a fortune every three weeks for.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Quite the opposite. Exactly.
- 1:31Speaker 2: Maybe that's where.
- 1:34Speaker 1: It comes from. There's obviously some men who, I don't know,
- 1:38Speaker 1: for genetic reasons or whatever, their eyelashes grow a little
- 1:41Speaker 1: bit longer than the others. And maybe they, you know, they...
- 1:46Speaker 1: worry that they look like a woman.
- 1:47Speaker 2: They're worried they're looking like Janet in The Muppets.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Is that her name? Man, she could rock her eyelashes,
- 1:53Speaker 1: that one.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Now I want to see her with her eyelashes trimmed.
- 1:55Speaker 2: That would be alarming. I'm so used to it.
- 1:58Speaker 1: But I've, I just, and surely barbers aren't doing it.
- 2:02Speaker 1: I mean, it must be.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I hope not. Think of the infection. It's dangerous.
- 2:06Speaker 1: There's a photo here of a bloke getting it done.
- 2:09Speaker 1: And I just think, I couldn't think of anything worse.
- 2:11Speaker 1: I reckon he's doing it himself.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I mean, look at what he's doing it with.
- 2:14Speaker 1: He's doing it with a beard trimmer. God, he can
- 2:15Speaker 1: get his hand around quite a lot. No, I think
- 2:17Speaker 1: that's someone else doing it.
- 2:19Speaker 2: That's his mate.
- 2:20Speaker 1: Anyway, look, TikTok, come on. People, it's not real.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Stop telling people to do stupid stuff.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Yeah, it just looks dangerous. And I don't know. I
- 2:31Speaker 1: think it must be a young thing. Well, especially being
- 2:34Speaker 1: on TikTok. I have never heard of it. But now
- 2:37Speaker 1: I have this morning. It's one of the big stories.
- 2:40Speaker 1: One of the biggest stories in the news. It is.
- 2:42Speaker 1: Men trimming their eyelashes.
- 2:44Speaker 2: To look more masculine, so they say.
- 2:46Speaker 1: It's stupid. Just stop it.
