Speaker 1 (00:00):
The shiny headed among us unite. It's one more thing,
one more Perhaps you've never seen us before we had
a website and lots of pictures online or whatever. But
I am a I Jack, am a man without hair.
I'm a bald man. I don't have much hair. I
(00:24):
keep it shaved really short because I look like Bozo
the Clown. If it grows all but it does, it
won't grow more than like a quarter inch anyway, if
I really let it go.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Katie, you may not know this, have long countered Jack's
description of himself with and I have a lush chestnut
mane of hair.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Okay, that that is a colorful description.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
I like that. What is it with decreasingly chestnut these days?
As I aye, Jess.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Well, I'm just so.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
My husband is also bald, and he.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
No not on purpose.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
He shaves it because he gets the same the fur
that comes in along the sides, just above the air.
But he also has one patch that just grows right
on the heehad on the top of his head. And
other guys that I know that are bald have other
little patches that grow.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
It does yours grow?
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I don't have that. I don't have a.
Speaker 4 (01:14):
Unicorn horn of hair that just grows at random.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
I do not. Okay, so you brought up a hair
thing yesterday. What was that the head? Oh, the tattoo
on the head, which I had not heard about. So
I look at this somehow I got this Reddit feed
sent to me once on Reddit hair transplants, And there's
all these these guys that are going through the whole
process of getting hair, and they do a lot of
pictures from the beginning and then the first stage and
(01:38):
the next stage, over the months, over the years, and
everything like that. And I gotta say, ninety percent of
the time you looked better bald than with what happens.
I mean just scrolling through the pictures. Yeah, so the
universe telling you your hair was supposed to fall out. Yeah,
I'm glad. I, for whatever reason, am not that bothered
by the fact that I don't have hair. But most
(01:58):
of these pictures, like, dude, you look way better before.
But I had never seen the hair tattoo thing. And
then so is that just like painting your head black
or brown or blonde or whatever color you want to
be your bald spot?
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Right, they go in and they tattoo it so it
looks like almost a shadow of your hair. So it's
like the individual follicles is that you guys are both
looking at me like I have eight heads.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
No, No, I'm trying to picture it. I can picture it.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
I wonder if I can find me pictures.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Because it just it gives the appearance of much more
horror than you have.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
Yeah, it just basically makes it look like your hair
is growing in.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
However, it's not there.
Speaker 4 (02:44):
But the woman that just tattooed my eyebrows onto my
face told me that apparently it wakes up your your
hair follicles and has actually promoted some hair growth in
bald men.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Yeah, that could be bs. I've been lied to about
that before. I'll tell that story in a second. I'm
looking at these pictures though, the hair. What do we
think of this? This person, Katie? Do you she's a
good tattooist, but it sounds like bunk to me.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
She's been doing this her entire life and has a
really big passion for it and is very good at
what she does. I believe her.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
I'm doing this hair tattoo. I'm looking at the pictures.
This is the opposite of what I was saying about
the hair transplant things where almost all the pictures, I
feel like you look better before. This is for like
you got. If you have the really short hair like
I do, you buzz it down pretty close, but you're bald.
So this fills in the part where in the back
and the front where you're bald, and it looks fantastic.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, they do a good job.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
It looks way better I'm doing that. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (03:39):
See, you just look like a navy seal who can't
be troubled to have hair right.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
And I know guys that have full heads of hair that,
for whatever reason, prefer this hairstyle. It is little maintenance.
I mean, I love the fact that I spend no
time or money on my hair and the wind hat
none of that ever has any effect on it whatsoever.
But I did have a brief period in college, gladys,
if you could do looking back in time. You've not
heard the story, Katie, where I actually had a perm.
(04:05):
I had a short I had a really short, curly perm,
which was kind of popular late seventies early eighties. The
white man fro was often cold. It was your flock
of seagulls days.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
It was when when the wacky hair it was practically
required for a hair young man.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
You need to post a picture of it.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I don't have any pictures. I got no pictures from I.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
Don't believe that today I does. Come on, let's get
to work. There you go.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I wish I had pictures from college, but I don't.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
What color was your hair?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Dark brown?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, that was not my perm though, Boy, are you
wearing a scarf in that photo? That's a sweater. That
is not my perm butter. But so I had a
little more hair than in that picture you just saw,
and they permed it so the perm kind of filled
in in the back where I was getting the bald spot.
You paint your bald spot. And so my hair actually
(05:01):
looked better during this brief period when I was nineteen
than it ever looked in my entire life. It's a
very brief period of time. But I couldn't afford it
to keep it up. But anyway, they would massage my head,
and they and they and they and they had me
pay for this growth thingy. That was way more than
I could afford either, also working at a radio station
(05:22):
and stuff, and and and she would massage my head
and she said, oh yeah, I can see him coming in.
This is fantastic, this looks great, and of course I
want it to be true. It's easy to lie to
people when they want something to be true, and of
course I wanted that to be true. I was like, oh, yeah,
the hair's coming in. I'm gonna have a hair and
a girlfriend before I know it. Because I thought that's
what was holding me back, not my impossible to take personality.
(05:45):
I thought it was just my hair. But so she
would massage my head and every week she'd say, oh, yeah,
we're really seeing it coming in. Here he has it's
really good. I finally decided I think somebody told me
that's a bunch of h and and yeah, and it
just you know, after several weeks, no thing happening in
them whatever. I can't believe myself that.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
She's telling you she's seeing your hair grow back as
she's giving you a perm combover.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Basically, yeah, it was a perm come over. That's a
good description of it. That's what it was. It was
a perm comeover covered up spots. But you paint your
bald spot?
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Do you have that? Do we have? Can do we
have that?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Actual audio? Michael, That's one of my favorite clips of
all time.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
I don't do you paint your bald spot?
Speaker 1 (06:32):
Paint your.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Now we're skipping.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Around, falling into the Larry King radio show, many many,
many many years ago. Paint your bald spot? What are
you talking about, sir?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Do you paint your bald spot?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
I don't have a ball spot.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Sick.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
I might actually get the tattoo, though, where do you
know anybody who does that? Because you just got your
eyebrows tattooed on.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I don't know anyone personally that does that.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
But anybody listening to this check on craigslist.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
You'll find somebody, any recently released inmates skilled at the
art of tattooing.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Random listener who would like to come into my own home,
I'll come to you Jack. Oh boy, Well, I guess
that's it.
