| 0:00.0 | Hello, and welcome to Series Inquiries only. This is Q&A 4. I guess episode 305, Q&A 4. I'm Thomas. It's Lindsay. How's it going? |
| 0:24.0 | Pretty good. I had my first haircut in two years today, so I'm feeling fantastic. Wow. Yeah, I went a while, and it's not, you know, it's... |
| 0:35.0 | Things are tricky, you know, because you got, like, during COVID, I grew up, you know, I just didn't get a haircut for a while. |
| 0:42.0 | And you think, like, oh, yeah, whatever, because it's the trick, is it happened slowly, you know, each day, you don't even notice the change. |
| 0:49.0 | And then you're like, yeah, whatever, my hair's a little longer, whatever. All of a sudden, now there's certain videos we have with the kids from that time, in which I'm a guy from the 70s. |
| 0:58.0 | And I'm just like, why was I a guy from the 70s for several months? That's weird. I don't like that. |
| 1:03.0 | I know. I was looking like the girl from the ring, you know. That's a good look now. That's pretty good. Yeah. |
| 1:09.0 | Was your hair always wet and matted, too? Yeah, pretty much. I mean, you could have solved that on your own, you don't even need a hair dryer. |
| 1:16.0 | When you get as much hair as I do, you know, you walk out in 90-degree heat, 100% humidity, and yes, it's like... |
| 1:22.0 | And you fall down a well. Oh, no, yeah, that, too. That just happened, anyway. That's not new. |
| 1:27.0 | Are you in well-country? It's just wells everywhere. Fall down everywhere. Yeah, I have to hunt. We've all got seven wells a piece. |
| 1:34.0 | What if you fall down one? There's already a ring girl and they're like, ah, man, all right, I'll get out and find one. |
| 1:40.0 | First finders keepers, first come, first serve. It's not even scary anymore. It's just acclimated. It's like cicadas or something you just get used to. |
| 1:48.0 | Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no, it is really weird. And the same thing happened with the kids. |
| 1:54.0 | The minute we got the kids hair cut, you adjust to it and then you look back at pictures, you're like, whose kid is that? That's not my kid. It's so different. |
| 2:02.0 | Anyway, well, that's congrats on that. Just doing it crazy or just kind of trim your hair. |
| 2:08.0 | No, I thought about doing something different. I got in there and lost my nerves. |
| 2:12.0 | I did the same thing. I was like, I've got all this hair. What can we do with it, hair person? |
| 2:17.0 | And then there are always unhelp. I, you know, there's definitely some gender differences here, but they're always unhelpful. |
| 2:22.0 | I'm like, you're the hair expert. I don't, I just have the hair. I don't have any opinions on it really. |
| 2:28.0 | You tell me a thing to do and that, but they don't want to do that because they don't want them. |
| 2:33.0 | And I get it. They don't, they probably don't want the burden of, you know, if something goes wrong or something, somebody's mad. |
