I love jelly I love telling there's a bit of
jelly roll.

Speaker 1 (00:17):
Alright, what's the story.

Speaker 4 (00:18):
So he's actually been on a bit of a weight
loss journey and he revealed and he's just been here
obviously in Australia. So he shaved his beard for the
first time in a decade. Wow, And it was up
on social media, shared by his beautiful wife.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
All right.

Speaker 4 (00:33):
So, honestly, I think some partners meet their partner when
they've got a bed that you've never seen them without one,
and I must admit it is a shock if you're
used to seeing your hair on someone. Anyway, here is
her reaction to her husband that she has never seen
without a beard.

Speaker 5 (00:48):
Okay, you guys, I have been with my husband for
going on ten years now. I have never seen this
man without his facial hair, not one freaking time. And
you guys know, as women, we get catfished because we
don't know what the hell's under there. My husband, in
honor of his shoot that he did today, is going

(01:12):
to shave off his beard completely because now that he's
also skinny, look at that freaking jar Line. We want
to see that jarn right.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Ladies, listen, we know we're going to have to get
some skin cut here.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
We're trying to see him.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
A facelift might be in order.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Yeah, the goaty, the mustache was fired.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
The total naked face, it's not terrible.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Let me see.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
She doesn't show us. She doesn't show us face. Oh
that's not fair. Wait and see you for the for
the mass revealed.

Speaker 4 (01:46):
But you can look totally different guys without a beard,
like and she's right, you do almost get catfish because
it's like a whole different person underneath. And especially even
if you've got children who've never seen you without a beard,
they freak out because it's like, who's this person?

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Because they just they can't can't decipher I like a beard.
I never used to. I never used to.

Speaker 4 (02:10):
But then it depends on what's under the beard. Sometimes
you look much better with that beard.

Speaker 1 (02:15):
So I don't know. Ladies and gents, watch your stance
on it. To James Cross, James, how long have you
had your bed? Thirty forty years?

Speaker 1 (02:30):

With a paper bag, preferably.

Speaker 1 (02:38):

Speaker 4 (03:06):
Wow?

Speaker 1 (03:07):
Ever shaved it? Shaved it off once once?

Speaker 3 (03:10):
Yeah, I was told to go back again. You actually,
I must have must admit my partner looks much better
without a bed, admly, I've never seen her with one
dist distinction. I think that could possibly be a deal
breaker for some. For some maybe, Yeah, if you had

(03:36):
a bed.

Speaker 2 (03:38):
Well, well, I didn't last where it was when I
got out of our army guys decided to no one
because I couldn't because when when I was now you
must changed?

Speaker 1 (03:50):
Does that real change something? You need? You need special clearance?
Certain reason?

Speaker 2 (03:56):
Yeah, last and very much. That's and everything else. I
shaved that and the mistress was happy, but I did
because she didn't like it.

Speaker 4 (04:06):
Well see now, okay, So in Ian's case. He being
in the military, he didn't have a bed, so she
got very used to seeing him without it.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
And I think that's the thing. If you you were
used to see Stash in the military.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
Possibly yeah, but when they grow it, you do you go,
oh no, you prefer the clean shaven as opposed to
if you've met the beard and the beard disappears, it's
a whole different person that you've never met before. Now
Chris is on the line from Flindersbey, Chris, have you
got a bed?

Speaker 6 (04:33):
I've got a bed now. Yeah. I had a skin
infection in July to late July. I to stop shaving,
and I went straight from bare face looking ten years
younger than what I am, and now I look like
Santa Claus. And I have got a reasonable social media presence,

(04:53):
and for three or four months nobody saw my face.
So I suddenly turned around one day on my social
media and yeah, shock the hell out of everybody.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Maybe it changes your appearance, whether you've got it or
you dining.

Speaker 1 (05:06):
Yes. Absolutely.

Speaker 6 (05:08):
The funny thing is I went to the restaurant with
my brother who's ten years older than me, and one
of his old school friends saw him and said, is
this your older brother.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
Coining at me, mate, here's the thing, isn't there thing
called just Men Go Die?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
