It's a Friday yet again. It still feels like a Thursday because of Memorial Day weekend. But if you're watching the program, you know it's Friday because that is number one, the day that Chris Sims refuses to work. And number two, the only day that we can get Big Cat to work with some rare exceptions. Good morning, Big Cat. Hope you're doing well. Hope you've had a good week. Actually, I really don't care. I'm just being polite. How are you? Again, I don't care. I'm just being polite. Happy Friday, Mike. I actually do care how you are. You look good. Are you going to note that I got a haircut? Are you going to say that? Oh, you did get a haircut. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, appreciate it. Yes, thank you. Thank you. But it is weird. It doesn't feel like Friday. But here we are. Let's do it again. It is nice seeing your face every Friday morning. It's kind of the unofficial start of the weekend for me.

Now, let me ask you this. Do you still dye your own hair or now that you've got the Penn National

money, do you pay someone to dye your hair? Still dye my own hair. And unfortunately for me,

I dyed my hair yesterday. And then I took a picture last night and half the comments were that I'm really going

gray and those people don't realize that that's after I had dyed my hair that morning.

So I really, really am. I am very close to being Polly Walnuts in Sopranos and just having

the wingtips. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with that. See, my big concern about dyeing the

hair, and it is something that I refuse to do, is once you lock into it, you can't get out of it.

And what you eventually do is become the 75-year-old guy with the jet black hair, or you show up one

day with the amazing transformation that we saw 30 years ago from

Bob Barker when he ditched the brown for the gray. So I'd rather it come in gradually. The lighting

here is very conducive to not making my grays as obvious as they otherwise are, but I'm fine

with it. And you eventually, if you're fortunate to become as old as I am and to live as long as I have, you will be fine with it too. So there's hope. There's hope. It just be, although when you be honest about it. What? Yeah. Well, I was saying when you be honest about it, when you say it out loud, like, hey, I'm going to dye my hair today, it cuts everyone's

jokes off at the knees.

So that's the other way to deal with it. That's how I've been, I've been approaching it. Just be honest, go straight ahead. Don't worry about it. You don't have to be a Mike Chashefsky who is just pretending that he's not dying his hair when he's dying his hair. If you tell the people you're doing it, guess what?

It becomes funny.

It becomes part of part of the whole whatever genre. dying his hair when he's dying his hair. If you tell the people you're doing it, guess what?

It becomes funny. It becomes part of the whole whatever Genesee qua that I got going on.

Well, you know what? I can't disagree with that because you're the only guy I know that dyes

his hair and admits to it and embraces it and has fun with it. Everybody else treats it like it's some big state secret.

And even when they're 75 and they have jet black hair and they think people actually are fooled that they have superior genetics and have lived that long and don't have a single gray hair except maybe one or two down by their ears.

All right.
