So Mike, can you explain beard oil to me?

0:06.9

I can try.

0:08.0

I noticed a new trend in the Reddit, which I'm kind of a...

0:12.3

I'm weirdly proud of people who have identified me as a

0:16.4

hipster now. It's not something that concerns me because I self-identify in

0:21.5

some ways to have hipster tendencies. My music, pitchfork festival, you know?
