What was your relationship like with
00:00:01
losing your hair? It was just like,
00:00:02
let's embrace it. You know, there's not
00:00:03
much you can do about it. It's pure
00:00:04
genetics. Let's go for it. In your head,
00:00:06
you think of Jason Staithm. He's a
00:00:08
good-looking bald dude. Joe Rogan, you

New Zealand, showing what's possible. We
00:00:16

00:00:22
what it is. But you're funny, you funny
00:00:23
say that. I was going through Turkey
00:00:25
after coming back from Gipo and passed
00:00:26

00:00:28
president of Turkey. I real didn't
00:00:29
realize, man, there's a whole new
00:00:30
cosmetic tourism industry that's coming
00:00:32
out of Turkey that got some pretty cool
00:00:33
looks going on. It's massive. Yeah. When
00:00:35
I went there at the hotel buffet in the
00:00:36
morning, dudes everywhere with headbands
00:00:38
on and blood coming out of their paws. I
00:00:41
reckon you might Yeah, it would have
00:00:42
been quite funny if I'd come back from
00:00:44
Turkey like that. I walked into cabinet
00:00:46
the next week and gone, "Hi, guys. Good
00:00:48
to see you again." Imagine that.
