The front, party at the back. But I think I
think he nailed something there because I think you you
wear a mullet when you've actually got a lot of hair.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
It's when you've got the option, which neither you or
I really.

Speaker 4 (00:35):

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Baby boomer myself. It's a powerful force, a Kruker.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
It's the biggest, most powerful force in fashion since Crocs
made a comeback.

Speaker 1 (01:36):
In my opinion, you reckon, but is a powerful force?

Speaker 3 (01:41):
Fully went away?

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, well that's right. Well in my era it was.

He's hit too curly for me. That The hair politics
was interesting at West Coast because, like so David, we
were a punder turned up and he had a pony
tail when he first got there and Mick Maldas ordered
him to cut his ponytail off. All right, So I'm
standing there looking like Joe Dirt and we're listening to

(02:54):
Mick telling we're a bunder.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
He had to have a haircut because it was too effeminate. Yeah, yeah,
with the man buns it would not have been good.
With the man.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
He could have used the excuse that it's just an
extra something for the opposition to hold on to, to
pull your back.

don't know, bogan used to be an insult, but I
think I think it's moved on.
