Oh, Ladies a gentleman this is the Vox podcast with Mike and Tim Stafford although I didn't recognize Tim Stafford when I saw his face on the Zoom call because Tim for the first time in eight years shaved off his beard.

He is freshly shorn, like a lamb about to, what happens when they

shear the sheep, what happens then?

I'm pretty sure they get slaughtered.

Okay, like a lamb before the slaughter.

Tim, um, tell us about your face.

I haven't seen it.

I haven't known you without the really magnificent man of hair around your face.

Tell me about your face.

I can see now, just to be honest, why you've kept it on.

Me too. The moment that I shaved it off I was because I don't I don't recognize

myself nor did I remember what I looked like and I for one don't have a chin oh and I and I've somehow

I've forgotten about that in the years that that glorious Maine was covering it's okay I have extras if you want one

So do I apparently have found that too

All sorts of new revelations from the beard shaving. Oh, I know. Wow. And looking back on it on that decision, you feel like that was a good decision or had you had, were there other influences at play?

We're in the apocalypse.

I don't know if folks know that or not,

but California is having a rough go again. It's been in the hundreds and there's multiple fires

with tons of smoke so the sun is like blood red every day.

That's a sign last night it looked like one of tons of smoke so the sun is like blood red every day.

Ooh.

That's a sign.
