Sex, Drugs and Skincare
Skincare Hacks for Lazy Guys
Ever wondered why men's skin seems to age differently than women's? The secret lies in biology – men actually have 25% thicker skin, which explains the later onset of wrinkles but doesn't spare them from other skincare woes. In this eye-opening conversation with comedian Bryan Suppan, we unpack the unique challenges men face with their skin and hair care, delivered with plenty of laughs along the way.
Bryan candidly shares his skincare misadventures, from slathering facial oil that left him with what he describes as a "crazy, greasy face" to his current minimalist approach. His admission that he rarely washes his face sparked an honest discussion about how men's natural oil production affects their skincare needs. We explore why traditional men's products like bar soap and body wash can actually worsen skin problems rather than solve them, and offer practical alternatives that don't require complicated routines.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Bryan reveals his extensive hair care regimen, including weekly microneedling with a 1.5mm needle – not for the faint of heart! His commitment to preventing hair loss shows that men care deeply about their appearance, even if they don't always admit it. Bryan’s detailed explanation of combining microneedling with finasteride and minoxidil provides valuable insights for anyone concerned about thinning hair, delivered with refreshing honesty about the effort required to maintain his impressive mane.

Speaker 1:No, I don't think so Is. Is he in good?
Speaker 3:shape your dad. Nah, that's why we have the competition. We're both in terrible shape.
Speaker 1:That's so funny.
Speaker 2:That's nice though because if you guys don't get in shape, it's each other's fault. There's no responsibility taken. It's his fault. That's beautiful, that's the way family should work. You blame each other for what you can't do Exactly.
Speaker 3:It's a family thing yeah, yeah family failures, family failures yeah you gotta be confident.
Speaker 1:Um, so we're doing this at half hour segments now, so we're gonna get to the topic. So you have a choice between skincare myths it's so hard to say that Skincare myths that are busted or we take one of your feet. That's like one of those podcasts where it's like you get to choose, you get to choose number one skincare myths or we remove your fingernails when you're not looking.
Speaker 2:What? I think that's going to be the new way we do that.
Speaker 3:It's harder than I thought it was going to be the new way we do that. It's harder than I thought being on this podcast does feel like that at times.
Speaker 1:Um so all right, or skincare for guys made simple so you get skincare myths busted, or skincare for guys that's made simple and this is like a like uh, you don't have to have anything to necessarily to contribute what would? You rather talk about, learn about and if you do have something to add, you always, of course, we want you to talk I guess, uh, skincare made simple, yeah, okay, yeah, let's do that all right for men.
Speaker 2:So that is number three I could definitely benefit from this no, me too.
Speaker 3:Let's see where's number three. I've like, I've been having like terrible acne recently really yeah what just like I don't know. Yeah, like I have like bad I'll get like pimples, and I don't know if it's like like, because I love like you know, like tennessee hot fried chicken, whatever it's called hot chicken I'm really into hot chicken recently fried foods love, love the fried stuff. Started deep frying my own stuff really trying to do my yeah, trying to do myself because it's like 15 for like 210 such a rip.
Speaker 2:Oh wow, that's a that's. That's a bit of an art there, because you can really overdo it when you deep fry stuff, or if it's not at the right temperature, you can tell the way it's breaded or whatever, like, yeah, that's interesting, man, that's yeah, I bought like a deep fryer to like specifically have the temperature like perfect, because it's really hard if you're doing it in a pot.
Speaker 1:I would love to see that like a video of that of you doing deep fried I have pictures.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, I think I don't want to still photograph.
Speaker 1:I want to watch you do it not like it's a flip book no, a thousand pictures slideshow yeah, but yeah, no, yeah.
Speaker 3:So I'm interested in this uh yeah, new art for you.
Speaker 1:Oh, you're talking about the mates.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, because of yeah, my, my uh desire to make hot chicken has ruined my skin.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right well, let's take a look here. So men's skin um, it's often ignored most and I can attest to that. A lot of guys just don't do anything um basically because they have different needs. So, um, we asked you what your skincare? What is your skincare?
Speaker 3:uh, regimen I used to do, uh, I used to get like, like oil and I would put oil on like every day, like a facial oil, that's just for that. Yeah, yeah, oil, and I would put oil on like every day, like a facial oil, that's just for that, yeah, yeah, and then I would put moisturizer in, but then, like then I started having like kind of an oily ass face.
Speaker 1:Maybe from the deep fryer.
Speaker 3:No, this was way before. This was like four years ago and then it kind of stopped and then, like for a little bit, I like using like regular, like uh, like like face moisturizer, like sunscreen, because I would see videos and they'd be like all you need is sunscreen and then so okay, yeah, I guess I'll, you know, screw the oil or whatever it's too much, I think, for your skin the oil do the oil and the and the sunblock, because it's just so heavy yeah, I think that's why I was getting like a crazy, like crazy, greasy face.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because men produce more oil, especially in these t-zones where the you know they just just by nature of being a man you're going to produce more oil. So the fact that you're putting an oil on top of that and then sealing in the juices with the sunblock, yeah so yeah, I'm not so. So, yeah, I'm not, yeah, I'm surprised you were able to even sweat after that.
Speaker 3:I know, yeah, I think I just sweated out instantly, though, honestly, because I'd put it on and then it would be like summer. And then I'm driving somewhere and my AC is, like you know, just not not good at it. Nissan Altima is terrible.
Speaker 2:Nissan's are notorious for being cars that ACs break down in.
Speaker 3:See that I said that yeah.
Speaker 2:I can go into the whole thing of why Altimas are terrible too, oh yeah, don't buy them.
Speaker 3:Okay, maybe the new ones are fine.
Speaker 2:My brother was a mechanic for Nissan and he told me he was just like it looks good, but then it's just not put together right. Speaking of skin care made simple for men, nothing will make you break out more than a shitty car all right.
Speaker 1:so, like I said, uh, more oil production, or sebum as they call it. You have 25 thicker skin than women, according to Dermatology Times I don't know why I had to get a reference for that but leads to later wrinkles. Oh, you get less wrinkles, but you'll get more acne, like you're saying.
Speaker 3:Oh, wow.
Speaker 1:Right, and then also you're going to get shaving issues, razor burn, ingrown hairs. Yeah, yeah, so, yeah. So I guess when you get, let's see. So if you're going to get razor, burn and ingrown hairs Razor braids, razor braids, razor braids, that's another way to keep your skin healthy is to braid your hair With razors. Shave your face off, use non-comedogenic shave cream. I didn't even know they made that. But you shave your face off um use non-comedogenic shave cream.
Speaker 2:I didn't even know they made that, but you do want to also clean the blades. I don't even know what that is non-comedogenic? Yeah, it doesn't clog your pores. Comedogenic means it's funny pores. Oh wow, funny genitals.
Speaker 1:Right, yes, comedogenic I didn't even know that shaving cream, because shaving cream is so light I wouldn't think that it could clog your pores.
Speaker 3:But yeah, I didn't see that stuff would dry my skin I I almost never used.
Speaker 2:When I I don't really, I just use the trimmer.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so I don't shave anymore I don't know any guy that uses a shaving cream, unless they're like 70 years old.
Speaker 2:I was just gonna say yeah, yeah with the barbasol and like yeah, because if not I usually would use a straight razor or like like the safety razor, even with like a little water, you could use it, or just like a little coconut oil or something you use coconut oil sometimes with the razor?
Speaker 3:I do. I just do water like I never cut my face? Yeah, I think the shaving cream is only for like your neck or something right?
Speaker 1:I don't know. Yeah, because it's like more sensitive or whatever.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, so you need that slip and glide yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah you gotta get that extra close shave so you can get those ingrown hairs that's like. When it's like no, I don't mind, you can. If you see my hair, it's fine. I don't need to like super baby smooth it's kind of bizarre, then it's just bumpy afterwards, true?
Speaker 1:yeah, then you've got like it look, then it just looks like acne anyways.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:It's the ingrown hairs.
Speaker 2:Don't even get me started, don't even let me start.
Speaker 1:And then also changing your blades is really important. I'm bad at that. The blades I use for just my body and stuff.
Speaker 3:I mean I'm not particularly very hairy, but I will wait a long time you ever seen those videos where, like you know, there's like a guy that like has like a crazy microscope or whatever, and then he'll like zoom in into like anything random, like he'll be like what really is in the plastic caps, and then he'll like zoom in really hard and then you'll see like it's like bacteria and like weird worms, yes, and it's really gross.
Speaker 3:He'll do that with like, like yes, and it's really gross. He'll do that with like, uh, razors, and it's like disgusting, yeah, it's like crazy. Like anytime you see that, like you know, little like residue on the side of the blade, it's like that is like chaos that is disgusting. That will like cause your whole skin to like do something yeah, you get follicular folliculitis.
Speaker 2:It will cause your the follicles, the hair follicles, which are pores, to each get like um infected oh, wow yeah, yeah I didn't even think about that I didn't even think it's just sitting in the shower, right, like if I don't use it for a while it just sits there. Then I'm like after like a month I'm like yeah, maybe I'll shave, and it's just sitting there. I don't even think to that. I said it's gross yeah wow, and it cutting my face literally, making little micro cuts into my face Right. Just really packing it all in there.
Speaker 1:With a nice little yeah like highway right into your skin with the bacteria.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the highway right into. Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:A highway right into your skin with the bacteria Danger zone. That's a highway to danger zone.
Speaker 1:So I guess a lot of men resist doing sunscreen. But I think that's not true for you. You were saying do you still?
Speaker 3:oh no, I do like. I'm terrible at like doing sunscreen you are like I like after I like stopped doing the oil thing and then the and then the moisturizer. I just like kind of gave up for some reason. But like I try to, I'll probably put on sunscreen, like once a month reapply it every other month.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I should be doing it like.
Speaker 3:I know, it's like I mean they say it's like the best thing to do.
Speaker 1:I guess you do need to get some sun, and they're sort of finding that out, but at the same time, yeah, if you're gonna be, you aren't in the sun much though, are you? No, I'm basing it up by the hands. Your hands are about as white as mine.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm not really too much in the sun.
Speaker 1:I did not mean to fist bump you with a white hand.
Speaker 2:No, no worries. Thank God we got that disclaimer out of the way. That could have been really problematic.
Speaker 1:So, yes, do you wear sunblock once a month, perfect.
Speaker 3:Yeah, um. So yes, do you wear sunblock once a month? Perfect, yeah, um. Or like, if I go to the beach or something, yeah, yeah when's the last time you went to the beach?
Speaker 1:I can't picture you at the beach like three weeks ago.
Speaker 3:Yeah, because I honestly, I'm the guy that like goes to the beach and I just like looking at the beach. I'm not going in it, I'm not like fishing, I'm not doing anything, I'm just like I see everyone else, I I'm, I people watch your spectator.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, we did that once at uh, like a malibu or whatever, and we watched those surfers just like in the middle of the afternoon. We were just like just hanging out there and then all of a sudden, like these people, start surfing. It's just such an interesting thing to do, it's really calming to watch too it is.
Speaker 3:It's like peaceful being in it, though it is not.
Speaker 1:I'll tell you right now yeah, it's so funny.
Speaker 2:It's a whole thing. I know just like in the sand.
Speaker 3:And then the one time I went to the b I went surfing, I like lost my buddy. I ended up being like a mile away from him because like the wave was like you don't even realize it, but the waves like carry you the riptide, yeah, but it's not even a riptide, it's just like you know, if you keep on going down a wave, let's say you keep on going back and forth, like you won't even notice that like you're like kind of going more down or whatever, like you end up kind of being way off from like where you were originally I don't know.
Speaker 2:At least for me, it's kind of hard to gauge distance in the water because you're you're constantly moving with it yeah, it's always changing, so you don't realize that you're like doing this, because it is always moving yeah so that becomes your new normal. Then you're like, oh, I'm here. And then you're like, oh, I'm a mile away from everybody. Yeah, and then we got sharks, we got like.
Speaker 3:Yeah, crabs, we got like like. Once I saw, remember that movie with the, with the lady she got like bit by a shark and she still surfed.
Speaker 1:She had no arms, she had no arms. I remember that. Yeah, soul surfer.
Speaker 3:Soul surfer. Yeah, after that I was like I don't want to be a pro, I don't even want to be here.
Speaker 1:I'll just watch.
Speaker 3:And that's where I started coming up with the philosophy of watching people in the ocean. I like that, praying for their downfall.
Speaker 2:Seeing it from the other side, my perspective has completely changed.
Speaker 1:It's like a hockey game on in the water yeah yeah, um you know there's a show called the hundred foot wave that you might be really interested in if you haven't already watched it on hbo oh man they, they serve hundred feet waves yeah and it's terrifying, but like it's not you, so it's not as terrifying yeah, yeah, I mean I, I love watching that because it makes me feel better about myself.
Speaker 3:You make better choices. Make better choices like, uh, yeah, like seeing, like remember, like 127 hours that was the james franco james franco got stuck in a cave rock. Oh, yes, remember that he had to cut off his own arm. Yeah, it makes me feel so good about myself Seeing those. I smile when I see it. Yeah, yeah, see, that's not me. I'm a dumb guy, but I'm not that dumb.
Speaker 1:You didn't get yourself stuck to where you had to chew off one of your arms.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean like, what are we doing?
Speaker 2:here. Yeah, you know, yeah, how bad could you be in your head if you didn't do that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like, do you really need to do that? Like, right now we're all sitting on a couch, you know, we're having fun, we're at peace or something right, and then there's people that just like, cannot do this and they have to do some like absurd thing to like get yeah like adrenaline junkie maybe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I guess, so I'm not into that at all.
Speaker 3:But adrenaline junkie. I'm always like dude, just play video games like if you like adrenaline, you don't have to like fly off an airplane, no, and like paraglide around I've played games in like, where like you get, you get, your character gets killed and there's a part of you that kind of feels like that little bit yeah you know you're gonna.
Speaker 2:You know it's a, it's a game, but you're like you're like whoa just for a second, because there's a part of you that gets that. So that's a drug.
Speaker 3:That's a rush for me I almost died today on the couch, just barely for everybody. Oh man, it is a rush for everybody. I'll be sweating, I'll be like, yeah, going through it, like on the game, and that's why I'm always like, dude, just do that like you don't have to like risk your life it's almost a workout if you think about it it is for sure, because that's yeah, that's what people say.
Speaker 1:I believe it your heart rate goes up, you're sweating yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean like even.
Speaker 3:They even say like thinking, if you think a lot burn calories, really yep well, what's that thing you said about?
Speaker 2:like if you visualize what you're doing, it's almost like you're doing it, like you're actually practicing that thing in your head, like if you my fake ponytail is falling apart as we speak.
Speaker 1:I'm not an on chemo.
Speaker 2:I promise it's where polyester is like it really is polyester. It's so funny. My hair's coming out. It's so funny.
Speaker 1:I don't hide the fact that I wear fake ponytails at all. I don't either. What if Brian took off his hat and his hair came off of it?
Speaker 3:Like one of those reggae hats or whatever, yeah, yeah. Yeah like that? Yeah, that would be hilarious.
Speaker 1:That would be hilarious. That would be funny. You should just do it with the hair on my little yeah you'd have to but you still have the same hair on the bottom.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it would be funny. I think all right.
Speaker 1:So where are we at? Um so yeah, wear some sunscreen, because the melanoma rates are going up. Um cleanser, so you don't want to use bar soap. I don't know if you do, I don't never wash my hands at the bar. Boom roasted it's very stripping. You don't use regular soap on your face, do you?
Speaker 2:no.
Speaker 1:I don't wash my face at all, that's true.
Speaker 3:I don't either yeah, I don't for a second. I kind of did, I would just get water and just like rub my face like like really hard yeah, but I stopped doing that? I don't know. I was like why?
Speaker 1:am I doing? That you know, but yeah, I don't listen, I'm also a very lazy person when it comes to washing my face because I feel like you can't over strip it and it's not really necessary also, the older you get, the less appealing showers are.
Speaker 2:What is that? I'm like, even in summertime.
Speaker 1:I'm sorry, go ahead, but yeah, you don't need. If you don't need to, as a man, I think well, unless you're wearing sunblock, though, and then you kind of want to wash off the sunblock.
Speaker 3:Yeah, true.
Speaker 1:Because it's kind of thick.
Speaker 3:But doesn't sunblock, just like ingest into your skin or whatever.
Speaker 1:I mean some of it does, but Not all of it. I don't think I mean your skin doesn't just drink it.
Speaker 3:For real.
Speaker 1:I thought it did I mean it settles in a little bit, but you still have whatever medium they're putting it in.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 1:It's thick and kind of gross.
Speaker 2:So then it has whatever you have, to take that part off of it, yeah.
Speaker 1:Otherwise, anything else you're putting on top of it is just going to be sitting on top of the occlusive barrier.
Speaker 2:Do you like that?
Speaker 1:Occlusive barrier.
Speaker 2:I just made that up. That's great.
Speaker 1:All right, so we got moisturizer with SBA.
Speaker 2:That's great.
Speaker 1:What If you want to get fancy? You can do some serums, and you were saying that creams sometimes are a little heavy for you, so serums are good. Hydrating serums can be good if you were interested in, you know, bumping up your regimen. Yeah, vitamin C serum is good for brightening your skin.
Speaker 3:Well, I didn't know that, yeah.
Speaker 2:You had this stuff that's like coconut cream, that's like really good for your body, and every time I want to be like, I want to put on my face and be like it's got to feel good on my face, and I've done it three or four times and every single time I do it on my face, my face starts immediately pouring sweat.
Speaker 2:I start pouring sweat and it's not supposed to be on my face. I know it, but I just think no, this will be different and it's immediately just like I know what you're talking about now.
Speaker 1:So it was like it was sealing in everything that you were supposed to be sweating out. Yeah, exactly, and I just profusely, was immediately putting it on and I'm like Well, that's another thing that happened because we were going to go over some of the things that do wreck your skin. I'm sure that that will be on our list. Don't put body like thick body cream on your face.
Speaker 2:Or like I had a a roommate used to put baby oil all over his entire body, even his face, even his face, yeah, and like I thought even that was much, because it was like but I mean, he still has good skin so he was best friends with puppy for a little while.
Speaker 3:So yeah, his name was baby oil he used to call them like friends with kanye, or he's gonna take it easy all right.
Speaker 1:So, uh, other habits that you don't want to do. Um, don't use body wash on your face, because that's a little too astringent.
Speaker 2:Right, that's going to dry you out body wash dries my skin out regardless, I think especially like, especially like the old stuff.
Speaker 1:The Old Spice they make a body wash.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's like, really like. It just smells like cologne and like soap.
Speaker 1:But that always like, dries me out.
Speaker 2:I can tell whenever the smell or like the perfume Is like way high, it's gonna dry my skin out.
Speaker 1:Do you use a body wash, brian?
Speaker 3:Not on my face, I use like Irish Spring.
Speaker 1:On your bod.
Speaker 3:Do you?
Speaker 1:like take a little knife and cut it just to see the green. You're probably too young to see that commercial oh, no, no, I do remember that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah, I mean I just like irish spring, um, I mean, I am irish easy flex, easy flex I like potatoes why are?
Speaker 1:you peeling potato.
Speaker 2:Oh sorry, it's a bar of soap um, let's see that's wait, wait, go back. No, I don't want you to read that I got.
Speaker 1:Uh, let's see funny angle men secretly stealing from women. Well, you know, that does happen with eye cream sheet mask. You don't steal my, you don't really do anything?
Speaker 2:no, I just I'll use it. Yeah, but even then, rarely, rarely. I spit, I spit in every, every one of them, but I don't use it what do I steal from women?
Speaker 3:I mean, I can't do you steal. What are they?
Speaker 1:gonna do no, no yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think I for a while I would do like uh for my hair. I would I do take a lot of like uh the moisturizer stuff and like hair masks. I started doing like hair masks for my hair and stuff, but not for my face okay, we.
Speaker 1:I think we've gone over pretty much all the stuff that we um, yeah, that we for that topic, I want to go over again your hair regimen yeah so let's, can you give us that in like in about five, you know, under three minutes sure yeah, take this walk us through this like fit, like washing my hair well, you have like a whole, didn't you have like the roller thing?
Speaker 3:yeah, microneedling yeah, so like tell you know, yeah, stuff you use whatever for a while, like I actually went to like this dude um that like injected, like uh, he injected uh stem cells into my head. That was pretty sick and I don't think it really worked though. No, but like um, yeah, I do like microneedling 1.5 millimeter every week.
Speaker 3:And then that like my hairline was like pretty, pretty wacky, you know, because my dad's like his hairline is like he would just have like the island you know the pier, yeah, yeah and so I already knew that was coming when I was like 20, okay, so I like started microneedling then, and then, uh, and, and then I started doing like finasteride and minoxidil, which is like rogan, known as rogan what's finesse is finesse?
Speaker 3:finesse right is like a pill that just takes all the dht out of your scalp oh, okay, right so the dht for dudes is the thing that gets us bald, so we don't have like the same balding as well if you do bald like I mean is that like a higher level, like because that's like basically like a testosterone.
Speaker 2:Yeah and it's like a higher level, and that's what causes it.
Speaker 3:Dht is in just in testosterone oh, it is okay okay yeah and then. But that's like the main thing that gets us is the dht. So like, uh, finasteride totally takes it out okay.
Speaker 1:So if you were bald from that, you're no longer bald oh, that's an easy right, so it just kind of legit can regrow your whole hairline to perfection, and then minoxidil is only really worth it, which is rogaine, it's like a topical thing.
Speaker 3:It's only worth it if you do microneedling, because it with microneedling. Basically like it only works for, like, if you, let's say, you do Rogan, right, you do Minoxidil and you don't do any microneedling, it's only work. It only works for like 30 percent of dudes. So a lot of guys will be like, oh, you use Rogan, it didn't work. Yeah, it did. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:So it just like just sits there as opposed to going in?
Speaker 3:Yeah, it just sits, it doesn't really work when you microneedle. It's basically making thousands of different incisions or whatever into your scalp, which automatically you don't even need to use minoxidil and you'll start growing hair, because it awakens up the cells and it kind of gets the blood flowing to your, your scalp but then when you use it with the minoxidil, it's like insane, like there's guys that have been almost completely bald and they go, they start microneedling with the finasteride and the minoxidil and they regrow their whole really yeah oh yeah there's like a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 3:It's pretty crazy yeah why don't men more men know that, I wonder, I mean a lot of dudes just don't want to like risk, like the side effects, like I don't want side effects like dude you're like 400 pounds, who cares? Just do it like like who cares at all.
Speaker 3:Like we all eat fast food, we all risk something yeah but uh yeah, I think a lot of dudes be like oh my dick, it might not work if I do it. Dude, that's like what? Like literally like one percent yeah, oh, really dude, it could. I mean there is a chance, but like it's so rare and if that were to happen you just go off it and then you're fine, and you're fine.
Speaker 1:1.5 is is a pretty thick. Is it pretty long with needle it's pretty long. Yeah, does it hurt?
Speaker 3:yeah, in the beginning I mean it does hurt once you get on the side because you'll have like more nerves on the side of your head, yeah. But once you go like on the top you don't really feel. And I've done it for like so long, like I've done it for like three, four years now, so I don't really it's not that big of a deal that head of hair isn't uh by accident that you have that's right it's hard work.
Speaker 1:It's hard work, some of's hard work.
Speaker 3:Some of us aren't blessed. So it's like you know we got to work harder than than others. You know, like Brad Pitt man, he's just blessed with that head of hair, you know Right, you know, yeah, some guys, or they just wore wigs for a moment in time yeah, I was like you know what do I want to do all this work?
Speaker 1:and uh, yeah, I do because the wigs look terrible.
Speaker 3:Yeah, have you ever seen? Uh, uh, uh, who's the guy from greece? Oh, john travolta man john, if you want a good laugh, yeah just type in john travolta, wig, uh-huh, and it looks like literally like grass turf is on its head. It's hilarious.
Speaker 2:I will check it out. Oh my God.
Speaker 1:Who approved that? Behind the camera they're like, yeah, that looks great Action. He's got a lot of yes people around him.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I think it'd be kind of fun, Like if I ever needed to wear a wig in my life. I'd like to think I'd be the person to wear like a toupee or whatever, but wear a bunch of different ones yeah, we're like so at least like all different colors and people like, and then it just insists that.
Speaker 2:No, I don't know. That's not a wig like every yeah, patchwork, every one of them. But yeah, if you just have fun with it. But, uh, that's cool, man, I like the fact that you, like, we're like, no, this is what I want, this is what I'm doing, and I think most people wouldn't put up or continue the routine of it because, yeah, because it's just like a and you know, like that kind of thing. But like, once you're into it and you feel it, then uh, yeah, it's pretty cool.
Speaker 3:I think it's a really cool thing yeah, because it's like you know you want. You want hair you don't like.
Speaker 2:Because, at the end of the day, it's like I don't want to look like a freak you know like but, I would because yeah, but instead of being like angry about it or something like that, or like being like, oh man, and just being like, no, let me see what I can do, and that's another angle. People, that's something I would never done. You're proactive about it and, yeah, you actually like put some effort into it.
Speaker 1:You're not just like waiting for things to just for your body to break down yeah, yeah, in other ways maybe, but not exactly yeah and being and proactive.
