In this week’s episode of botox COWBOYS, Tyler and Dr. Andrew Dargie return from their respective globe-trotting adventures (Hong Kong, Bali, Panama—you know, just the usual “doctor influencer” fare) to tackle the squishy, controversial, and dangerously over-filtered world of… dermal filler. Yes, folks, it’s time to inject some knowledge straight into your brain folds.

Andrew—your favorite Aesthetics Avenger—dives face-first into the truth behind filler: what it is, what it isn’t, and why it definitely won’t give you the face of a startled woodland creature… unless your injector has the finesse of a toddler with a syringe. We’re talking lip flips (spoiler: not filler), wiener filler (yep, that happened), and filler in places you didn’t know had names.

Tyler plays the skeptical cowboy—equal parts intrigued and terrified—wondering aloud if he’s just one tiny syringe away from losing his “tiny bird lips.” Andrew obliges, naturally.

In between the banter, we get a backstage pass to the shady underbelly of aesthetic medicine: clinics that don’t stock reversal agents (how is this legal?!), the myth of the “best” injector (spoiler: there isn’t one, but there are some absolute shockers out there), and the soft-spoken war Andrew wages against unrealistic expectations and fake Instagram fame.

And just when you think things couldn’t get juicier, we find out which historical figure Andrew would inject if he had the chance (Taylor Swift, beware), and why he thinks Travis Kelce might be a prime candidate for some good ol’ temple filler. Yes, this episode has it all: education, self-deprecation, and enough facial contouring tips to make Michelangelo weep.

So saddle up, click subscribe, and prepare to unlearn everything you thought you knew about fillers, cowboys, and convex foreheads. And remember: if your injector can’t reverse it, maybe don’t let them rehearse it.

It's time to talk about botox. You’ve heard of it. You probably have an opinion about it. And if you’re like most people, that opinion is either mildly intrigued but vaguely terrified or convinced it turns people into expressionless lizard-human hybrids.

But what if I told you… you’re wrong?

Welcome to botox COWBOYS, the podcast where two small-town Alberta boys—Dr. Andrew Dargie, a former emergency medicine head turned global aesthetics guru, and Tyler Brooker, his skeptical, wrinkle-ridden best friend—take on the myths, the misconceptions, and the downright nonsensical hysteria surrounding botox and cosmetic treatments.

Let's start here: botox is not a villain. It does not make you look like you’re permanently surprised by your own reflection. It is just a neurotoxin that relaxes muscles. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. It’s been around for decades, it’s used for everything from migraines to excessive sweating, and yet it still carries more stigma than a bachelor’s degree in puppetry.

Why are men, in particular, so weird about it? Why do we treat skincare like it’s some kind of weakness, while happily spending hundreds of dollars on beard oil and protein powder that may or may not just be ground-up disappointment in a tub?

Remember this: you already do things to maintain your appearance. You get haircuts. You shave. You wear deodorant so people don’t recoil when you lift your arms. This is just another tool in your toolkit.

So saddle up, inject some knowledge straight into your brain wrinkles, and hit play. Because looking good shouldn’t feel bad.
