about the tenth the annual South Dakota Beard Clash. I
didn't even know this was the thing. And we've got
(00:22):
JB Is that right?
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Yep?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Correct, And we're going to chat about this event. It's
in September, so we got time to plant and you
might have time to grow out a little facial here
if you want, right.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Oh, yeah, there's plenty of time.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Yet it's between now and September. I don't know how
much I'll be able to grow between now and then,
But like, you've got a pretty cool beard going here.
How long have you been working on that?
Speaker 2 (00:39):
Oh, I've had I've had a full beard for probably
twenty years, Okay, but I want to say about five
six years ago. I've always thought about shaving the chin
and just having what in the beard competition world they
call them natural sideburns or chops okay, and I just
(01:00):
we were at a competition. They needed some more entries
in the chops class and they had a barber at
the competition. It was a big national one.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You like, sign me up, y.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I was like, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
That's awesome. So the event is coming up again, the
tenth Annuel South Dakota Beard Clash, presented by Tito's Handmade Vodka.
An Honest Amish Beard. What is honest Amish Beard?
Speaker 2 (01:22):
They're a beard care product company. Can they make like
you can buy hair care for your hair, they make
haircare for your beard.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Well, that's cool. And it's a fundraiser for Sleep and
Heavenly Peace, a South Dakota of nonprofit, which is really
a cool thing as well. It's coming up at Bottoms
Up in Course in September thirteenth, So you've got some time.
But let's talk about these different categories. If people because
there might be somebody listening, they could absolutely enter right now.
They just didn't know what's happening. So we've got a
(01:53):
full beard under four inches, so that says business class.
So that's like a trimmed beard.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
And they do the measurements for length. It's from the
bottom of her lower lip. Okay, so anything under four
inches we consider that like the business class nice, it's
typically more of a more of a cleaned up styled
very nice beard.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
And I see a full beard four to eight inches,
full beard eight to twelve inches, and then a full
beard twelve plus. Which category has the most people?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Usually it's usually the four to eight eight is usually
one of the biggest classes very nice.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
And then there's also a full beard styled stash. What
does that mean?
Speaker 2 (02:36):
That's where you have a full beard and you can
use products to style like a curl into your mustache.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Okay, so you have both. Now there's also go tea.
See I just shaved, so I feel like naked here,
but I have like just a little bit of a
go tea.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
But for the go tea, I'm assuming that's probably people
that have like a big, a big go tea.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
It's yeah, any go tea there and there's a chance.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
And then chops, that's what you have. And then I
see another category called whaler. What in the world is
a whaler?
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Whaler is a full beard but no mustache.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Okay, like an Abe Lincoln kind of can, that's a whaler.
And then there's a mustache natural mustache styled. So the
difference between those is the natural is just like a
Tom Sellick mustache, just as.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
It lays no no styling aids to help it like
hold a curl.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
And then the style would be like the people that
do the strong Man in the circus. But then we
also have a mustache horseshoe. What is a horseshoe.
Speaker 2 (03:41):
Horseshoe is where the mustache extends down. It's like a horseshoe, like.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
A John Rich. Yeah, so it's kind of like a
go tea without the chin. Yes exactly. I did that
one time just to see what my wife would say.
She was not a fan, so it's.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
Surprised we do. Actually not many smaller competition or like
tomn competitions have that class because it's usually not very popular,
but we usually do get a handful of people that
show up for it.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
That again, mustache horseshoy. Then we have craft beard realistic.
What is a craft beard.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
That's for the ladies to be able to get involved. Okay,
they for the realistic, they make a fake beard that
they put on that looks like a real beard.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
And then there's another craft beard creative that's one where
it's like, you know, wild and crazy. Yep.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
They take whatever crazy thing you want to do and
make it look like a beard and put it on.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
Then there's freestyle that's just all bets are off, whatever
you want to do.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Yeah, that's mainly like where guys style shapes into their beard.
There they can get real creative with that.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
And there's a kid's class. Yep, how many kids have
a beard.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
It's like the it's like the creative classes, and it's
not a not a typical class like the way you
do the other ones. We actually have crafts and stuff
that when the kids get to the competition they can
go that. We'll have a couple of people back there
they can help them. They'll make one right there, and
then they can come up on stage and talk about
(05:12):
their beard.
Speaker 1 (05:12):
I love that. Well, I'm so glad you guys. Send
an email to me. I'm looking June. Oh maybe it
was the beginning of July. It's been a little bit,
but we've been chatting back for trying to find a
time to finally get this all put together. I'm so
glad that we did this because this is fascinating and
I guarantee you because you've been doing this ten years.
I'd not heard of it. Yeah, I guarantee there's other
people right now going I didn't know this was happening.
So now we're going to invite you to the tenth
