Speaker 1: What's up everybody. I am at Beard Laws podcast. Thank
0:17
Speaker 1: you for tuning in. If you're looking for a podcast
0:20
Speaker 1: that talks about beard's, beard care, beard news, really anything
0:25
Speaker 1: beard related, as well as some randomness, some sports, some jokes,
0:30
Speaker 1: some music news, a little bit of whatever. Then you
0:32
Speaker 1: have found the right place. You have found the right host.
0:35
Speaker 1: So stick with me and we will get you there,
0:38
Speaker 1: especially my bearded brothers. I got some tips, I got
0:41
Speaker 1: some tricks. You might be asking yourself beard laws, what
0:45
Speaker 1: are they? I mean, it's pretty self explanatory, but if
0:48
Speaker 1: you must know, beard laws are something that everyone should know,
0:50
Speaker 1: whether you have a beard or don't. The laws need
0:52
Speaker 1: to be remembered and they need to be enforced, like
0:55
Speaker 1: beard Law fourteen. If you touch my beard without asking,
0:58
Speaker 1: I'll touch your butt without asking. It's just common courtesy.
1:01
Speaker 1: And make sure that all of us bearded guys are
1:03
Speaker 1: protected and everybody that's out there grabbing bearded boys butts,
1:07
Speaker 1: you're protected as well. There's laws against it. I mean,
1:10
Speaker 1: we can issue beard tickets. We haven't had to yet,
1:13
Speaker 1: but it's a concept that we've been toying with. But yes,
1:16
Speaker 1: so all of the beard laws have came up with
1:19
Speaker 1: just sitting around coming up with ideas. Certain people have
1:22
Speaker 1: submitted them to me. So if you have a stroke
1:24
Speaker 1: of brilliance and you want your own beard law, email
1:26
Speaker 1: me Matt at beard laws dot com. You can name
1:29
Speaker 1: the law. I'll name it after you. Whatever works. And
1:33
Speaker 1: if you're looking to see a list of all of
1:34
Speaker 1: the beard laws, check out beard laws dot com. But
1:37
Speaker 1: what is absolutely amazing I personally think and I think
1:40
Speaker 1: you're gonna think it as well. People that know what
1:42
Speaker 1: beard laws is is took this concept of just making
1:46
Speaker 1: up these silly beard laws and made the website and
1:50
Speaker 1: have merchandise with the whole intent of raising money for
1:54
Speaker 1: the Richard Ey Winter Cancer Center, which is Augsburg, New York.
2:00
Speaker 1: Work at the hospital, so it had a little more
2:02
Speaker 1: meaning to me. I've had family members, I've had friends,
2:05
Speaker 1: I've had a lot of people that I know that
2:07
Speaker 1: have had to sit at the cancer center do their treatments.
2:10
Speaker 1: And the first thing you're going to notice when you're
2:12
Speaker 1: sitting there for so long, other than the fact that
2:15
Speaker 1: you're nervous, you don't know what to expect. The TVs.
2:21
Speaker 1: They're about thirteen maybe fifteen into crttvs, which are the
2:26
Speaker 1: old style big long, heavy TVs. They're terrible. The quality
2:31
Speaker 1: is terrible. And I remember being over there. Family member
2:34
Speaker 1: of mine was sitting there looking up at the TVs
2:36
Speaker 1: and he was just like, man, I don't know if
2:39
Speaker 1: this is a newer episode of Price is Right. I
2:43
Speaker 1: can't tell if Drew Carey's fat or not. I mean,
2:46
Speaker 1: they're that bad. And then you would just be sitting there.
2:48
Speaker 1: They would just turn off, And it was just something
2:51
Speaker 1: that kind of hit home for me, something that I
2:55
Speaker 1: had kind of the ball rolling on something. I was
2:58
Speaker 1: able to set a goal of five thousand dollars that
3:03
Speaker 1: I wanted to raise. It was the original proposed quote
3:09
Speaker 1: that the hospital had, but they were unable to fit
3:11
Speaker 1: in the budget. It just kept getting cut out for
3:13
Speaker 1: the last two years quote was provided to me. It
3:16
Speaker 1: was like I said, five thousand dollars, it was going
3:18
Speaker 1: to be eleven TVs twenty eight inch did a motorcycle
3:22
Speaker 1: run leather up for cancer Care. Buddy of mine, Chuck
3:26
Speaker 1: was just just huge. He got the word out to
3:29
Speaker 1: some biker friends, advertised all over the place. Had a
3:34
Speaker 1: lot of generous donations from a lot of great people,
3:37
Speaker 1: a lot of great companies, a lot of great vendors,
3:40
Speaker 1: so thank you all. You know who you are. And
3:44
Speaker 1: we actually came up with the idea sitting in his garage,
3:47
Speaker 1: just having a couple of beers one night and I
3:49
Speaker 1: was showing them, you know, some of the beard laws,
3:51
Speaker 1: what was going on with it, and he says, man,
3:53
Speaker 1: let's do a motorcycle run. Keep in mind, this was
3:56
Speaker 1: like February cold. We kind of took a list of
4:00
Speaker 1: all the other motorcycle runs that were going around in
4:03
Speaker 1: the area and noticed that May eighteenth, nothing was going on.
4:07
Speaker 1: It could be the first motorcycle run. The weather has
4:10
Speaker 1: been terrible where we're from. As it got closer, just
4:14
Speaker 1: cold and rain, and we got really nervous. But we
4:17
Speaker 1: absolutely we lucked out. We had one of the most
4:19
Speaker 1: beautiful days of the summer so far, and we were
4:23
Speaker 1: able to raise twenty seven hundred dollars towards the cause,
4:26
Speaker 1: which in my opinion, is absolutely amazing. We had one
4:29
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty six registered riders, which we talked to
4:33
Speaker 1: a lot of people. Jerry's Run for instance, that's coming
4:36
Speaker 1: up this summer. We spoke with them and they were
4:40
Speaker 1: able to on their first one. I thought they said
4:43
Speaker 1: about forty or fifty bikes, so they're on their seventh year.
4:46
Speaker 1: Check it out Jerry's Run. Google it, you can get
4:48
Speaker 1: to the website. It's Jerry's Run for Cancer dot org.
4:53
Speaker 1: You can preregister now. If you're not a rider but
4:56
Speaker 1: want to be a part of it, you can register
4:59
Speaker 1: and they have buses. If the first bus fills, they
5:02
Speaker 1: will get a second bus. And it's July twentieth at
5:07
Speaker 1: Bellowbrook Winery and Hammon, so it's a great venue. There's
5:12
Speaker 1: gonna be some vendor set up there actually raffling off
5:14
Speaker 1: to give away a couple of motorcycles. Met a lot
5:17
Speaker 1: of the people that go on the run when we
5:19
Speaker 1: did our run, and it just just a class act,
5:21
Speaker 1: a lot of great people, a lot of great people
5:24
Speaker 1: looking to donate to a good cause. So not only
5:27
Speaker 1: was ours a success and it's going to go directly
5:29
Speaker 1: to the community, Jerry's Run for Cancer also they give
5:32
Speaker 1: back to families that need it for cancer care and everything.

6:44
Speaker 1: get into some beard talk. Often I have a rather
6:48

6:57
Speaker 1: out Twitter, the official beard Law. All right, you'll see
7:02
Speaker 1: that beard. We're on YouTube beard Laws. We're also I
7:04
Speaker 1: have a Facebook page, there's pictures, there's everything around. But
7:07
Speaker 1: the first question I could ask is, dude, how long
7:11
Speaker 1: did it take you to girl that beard? Well, I
7:13
Speaker 1: started April of twenty eighteen, So what is it? A
7:18
Speaker 1: year and a couple of months. And yeah, people just
7:23
Speaker 1: think that it kind of happens overnight or they think, wow,
7:26
Speaker 1: that's only been a year in a little bit. But
7:28
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of dedication. It takes a lot
7:30
Speaker 1: of time. You might not think it. There's a lot
7:32
Speaker 1: of people that don't put a lot of care into it,
7:34
Speaker 1: but once you do, every time you see a beard
7:36
Speaker 1: that just looks straggly or doesn't look well taken care of,
7:40
Speaker 1: you will notice. And if you have a girlfriend, a boyfriend,
7:44
Speaker 1: a significant other, whatever you have, just warn them that
7:48
Speaker 1: your products are going to take up some room in
7:49
Speaker 1: a medicine cabinet, it's going to take over your shower.
7:52
Speaker 1: There is going to be an invasion of some beard stuff.
7:55
Speaker 1: So be prepared. A lot of people also ask what
8:00
Speaker 1: I use for products. I can let you know what
8:02
Speaker 1: I use. I use Viking Revolution shampoo and conditioner currently,
8:07
Speaker 1: and I'm using the Honest Amish oil. I've tried the Classic,
8:10
Speaker 1: I'm using the Pure oil. I've also tried the Viking
8:13
Speaker 1: Revolution oil. Thought it would work great with pairing up
8:16
Speaker 1: the shampoo, the conditioner and everything together. I didn't have
8:19
Speaker 1: great results, but I think whether my beard just got
8:22
Speaker 1: used to it or I got used to it, the
8:24
Speaker 1: Honest Domish is just absolute money to me. It's my
8:27
Speaker 1: favorite oil. I've tried several other oils. A couple of
8:31
Speaker 1: them kind of dried out my skin. It kind of
8:35
Speaker 1: gave you that beard dandruff. With the Honest Amish oil,
8:37
Speaker 1: it just just gets in there, just soaks in there.
8:40
Speaker 1: So if anybody from Honestamish is listening to this, hook
8:43
Speaker 1: me up. Come on, man, Let's be a sponsor. Let's
8:46
Speaker 1: work together, let's partner up. Let's let's get you on
8:49
Speaker 1: the website. Let's get me some samples and uh yeah,
8:53
Speaker 1: Honestamash check it out. Tell them Beard Law sent you
8:57
Speaker 1: so one beard laws dot com. There is a special
8:59
Speaker 1: page called beard Tips, a lot of the information that
9:02
Speaker 1: I'm going to talk to you fairly quickly about is
9:04
Speaker 1: on there. I just think it's sometimes easier for someone
9:07
Speaker 1: to listen to it rather than read it, because, let's
9:10
Speaker 1: be honest, a lot of us guys we just don't
9:11
Speaker 1: like to read ladies. If you're looking to help your
9:14
Speaker 1: man out, feel free to check it out or just
9:16
Speaker 1: listen for the next couple of minutes. These are based
9:18
Speaker 1: on what I think, what I've learned from growing a
9:21
Speaker 1: beard for a couple of years. If you have better tips,
9:24
Speaker 1: if you have better products, if you have anything that's
9:26
Speaker 1: working for you, I would love to hear it. I'd
9:28
Speaker 1: love the feedback. Like I said, medteardloss dot com, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,
9:33
Speaker 1: whatever it has hit me up, love to hear it,
9:35
Speaker 1: love to see your beard. What I'd like to eventually
9:38
Speaker 1: do is incorporate the podcast. Obviously on beard loss dot com.
9:41
Speaker 1: There is a fan gallery. If you already own some merch,
9:44
Speaker 1: email me a picture madatbeardlaws dot com. If you want
9:46
Speaker 1: to get featured in the supporter gallery, buy something, take
9:50
Speaker 1: a picture, take a selfie, have somebody take it, email
9:53
Speaker 1: it to me and we'll get you right on the
9:54
Speaker 1: front page. With all the other amazing supporters. So the first,
9:59
Speaker 1: the first piece of advice that I that I would
10:02
Speaker 1: honestly recommend, is just take your raisors. Put them in
10:06
Speaker 1: a medicine cabinet, put them away, don't even touch them
10:09
Speaker 1: all right, You're not gonna need them for a while,
10:11
Speaker 1: maybe for some touch up if you're part Sasquatch like me,
10:14
Speaker 1: I grow hair on my cheeks underneath my neck when
10:16
Speaker 1: I was first game going. I haven't seen my neck,
10:18
Speaker 1: let alone my chin in a long time, So just
10:22
Speaker 1: put those away. I highly recommend just not touching the
10:26
Speaker 1: beard for a couple of months, two three months, just
10:29
Speaker 1: let it go. It's gonna look terrible, but it's okay
10:31
Speaker 1: because once you start training your hair, once you start
10:34
Speaker 1: trimming your hair, it's gonna look amazing. Trust me, trust me.
10:38
Speaker 1: But you do need to have patience. That is the key. Well, genetics,
10:42
Speaker 1: I honestly think genetics are a key because I got
10:44
Speaker 1: a lot of friends they can't grow a beard. Some
10:46
Speaker 1: people just don't have the gift of growing a beard.
10:49
Speaker 1: It's okay, but just have patience, all right. Products products
10:55
Speaker 1: is number two. All Right, you've already listened to what
10:58
Speaker 1: I use with the Viking Revolution, the honest domagh combo.
11:02
Speaker 1: Everybody's beard, everybody's face, everybody racks a little bit differently.
11:05
Speaker 1: So as we get going a little bit later in here,
11:08
Speaker 1: I'll recommend some of the top oils in the game,
11:11
Speaker 1: some of the top products, and you know, try them out,
11:14
Speaker 1: and you let me know, and we can we can talk.
11:17
Speaker 1: We can talk beard because that's what I'm about, beard talk.
11:20
Speaker 1: So this is this section beard talk. Probably should have
11:24
Speaker 1: said that before, but I just kind of thought of it.
11:25
Speaker 1: I'm gonna think of that for next time. Beard talk.
11:28
Speaker 1: So yeah, obviously, women women, they love beards, most of them.
11:35
Speaker 1: Some of them don't the whole rumor about how their
11:38
Speaker 1: beards are dirty. They're dirtier than dogs tongues. They're shit
11:42
Speaker 1: in your beard, No, nother's not. Trust me. Once in
11:45
Speaker 1: a while, I'm gonna get some food in there. I
11:47
Speaker 1: can guarantee you there is no shit in my beard.
11:49
Speaker 1: I can guarantee you that an animal that licks his
11:52
Speaker 1: own butt and balls and anything else does not have
11:56
Speaker 1: a cleaner tongue than this beard. All right, I chant
12:00
Speaker 1: and Jude, we will swab it up. We'll bring it there.
12:03
Speaker 1: We'll find somebody to test it. You take your dog's tongue.
12:05
Speaker 1: I'll take my beard any day of the week and
12:07
Speaker 1: we'll have a contest telling me I'm gonna win, especially
12:11
Speaker 1: if we get show first. But uh yeah, just let
12:14
Speaker 1: it grow, like I talked about two or three months.
12:17
Speaker 1: Don't touch it. Get a good brush, get a good comb,
12:21
Speaker 1: get a good combo. I had for sale and had
12:24
Speaker 1: a ton of positive feedback beard laves, brushes and combs.
12:28
Speaker 1: I'm thinking about getting another order. If not, find yourself
12:31
Speaker 1: a good bore bristle brush and a nice like wooden
12:36
Speaker 1: comb with not a lot of spaces but not too tight.
12:39
Speaker 1: Where as you're going to coma it's gonna get stuck.
12:43
Speaker 1: Birch Box they have a great handy chart for beard trimming,
12:47
Speaker 1: so feel free to check out birch box dot com.
12:50
Speaker 1: It's going to kind of give trim advice, just kind
12:56
Speaker 1: of gonna help you out. If you are fortunate enough
12:58
Speaker 1: to live in an area where there as a barber shopper,
13:01
Speaker 1: there's someone that specializes in beards, I would think spending
13:04
Speaker 1: the money would be a great investment. Unfortunately, there isn't
13:07
Speaker 1: anybody in the area within probably two two and a
13:09
Speaker 1: half hours unless I went over to Canada. I'm sure
13:12
Speaker 1: there's somebody there. So I have done all my own work,
13:16
Speaker 1: and the biggest thing I can that I can stress
13:20
Speaker 1: to you is trim it and use scissors. No electric razors.
13:26
Speaker 1: I mean, every once in a while a guy that
13:27
Speaker 1: I work with will come in missing a mustache, missing
13:31
Speaker 1: the beard, and it's always an unfortunate well that's what
13:34
Speaker 1: they blame it, an unfortunate incident with an electric razor. Personally,
13:38
Speaker 1: I think it's the woman in their lives saying, oh
13:41
Speaker 1: my god, you're beard. It's so grow thank you being damie.
13:44
Speaker 1: Men No beard Law fifty four. If you shave your
13:47
Speaker 1: beard for a woman, you don't deserve either. So ladies
13:51
Speaker 1: get used to it, all right, There's many many benefits
13:54
Speaker 1: of having a beard and man, trust me, we can
13:56
Speaker 1: touch on that later. Just let him grow it, let
13:58
Speaker 1: him be a man, let him be a lumberjack, let
14:00
Speaker 1: them live, let them live out the fantasy of the
14:03
Speaker 1: bearded brotherhood. All right. But yes, trim it gently with scissors,
14:09
Speaker 1: very carefully. What I personally do is I just brush down,
14:13
Speaker 1: get it the way I want it. Trim you still
14:15
Speaker 1: got hair sticking up, Trim them up a little bit,
14:17
Speaker 1: brush it down, trim it up, or you can fluff
14:19
Speaker 1: it all the way out. See the uneven spots, just
14:22
Speaker 1: start from the ears slowly on the outside, trim it down.
14:25
Speaker 1: Coma and coma and trim has worked wonders for me.
14:28
Speaker 1: That's my that's my personal take. But once you figure
14:33
Speaker 1: out the trimming, once it starts to take shape, that's
14:36
Speaker 1: when we got to start talking oils and products. Beard
14:40
Speaker 1: Oils that contain certain ingredients are obviously going to help.
14:45
Speaker 1: A lot of them are pretty much the same, but
14:48
Speaker 1: a lot of them are a little bit different. So
14:50
Speaker 1: let me get into some of the best rated oils
14:54
Speaker 1: that I found kind of just reading on a couple
14:57
Speaker 1: of different sites like the beard Aholic, and I just
15:01
Speaker 1: kind of took the ratings from, you know, maybe their
15:04
Speaker 1: top five the other websites top five just kind of
15:06
Speaker 1: made my own list and also based it off some
15:09
Speaker 1: of the oils that I've personally used. So let's get
15:13
Speaker 1: into oil talk, all right. So a couple of the sites,
15:16
Speaker 1: like I mentioned, was beard aholic dot com as well
15:19
Speaker 1: as gear Hungry dot com is another good site that
15:22
Speaker 1: talks about oils and products and stuff like that. So
15:25
Speaker 1: gear Hungry their top rated best oil with the Bossman
15:28
Speaker 1: Beard Oil Kit. It's about twenty nine bucks on Amazon.
15:32
Speaker 1: The link is in beard Lass like I said, on
15:35
Speaker 1: beer laws dot Com and a beard tips. What's unique
15:38
Speaker 1: about this kit and I've actually had a cousin that
15:40
Speaker 1: just started using it. It comes with an oil, it
15:44
Speaker 1: comes with a conditioner, and it comes with a little
15:45
Speaker 1: beard bomb. So for the price twenty nine bucks, that's
15:48
Speaker 1: not too bad. As I mentioned earlier, it's nice to
15:52
Speaker 1: try to stick with with one vendor, so as a
15:55
Speaker 1: starter kit, it might be something that you'd like to try.
15:59
Speaker 1: If you do try, let me know if it works
16:01
Speaker 1: for you. Like I said, it works very well for
16:04
Speaker 1: a cousin of mine. Number two from gear Hungary was
16:06
Speaker 1: of a Verro Beard oil and conditioner. It was currently
16:09
Speaker 1: sold out on Amazon, so naturally it must be pretty good.
16:14
Speaker 1: I haven't checked in the last week or so if
16:17
Speaker 1: it was back in stock. I looked up this information
16:20
Speaker 1: last week, but as of then it was still out
16:24
Speaker 1: of stock. But if you get your hands on it
16:27
Speaker 1: through a different vendor, I'd love to try it. Or
16:30
Speaker 1: if you're out there and you want to send a
16:31
Speaker 1: product to me any company, feel free I'll review it,
16:35
Speaker 1: I'll talk about it whatever you want. Third option was
16:40
Speaker 1: just your straight ahoba oil. It's a main ingredient in
16:45
Speaker 1: pretty much every oil, but this was just a straight,
16:48
Speaker 1: smaller bottle of it, pure organic. It's about fourteen bucks
16:51
Speaker 1: on Amazon. I've heard mixed reviews on it. It's definitely
16:55
Speaker 1: going to be very good for your beard, but it
16:57
Speaker 1: does lack a lot of other vitamins and other ingredients
17:00
Speaker 1: that can help strengthen your beard, and not only your beard,
17:04
Speaker 1: but the pores underneath your beard, which is which is
17:06
Speaker 1: very very key. Beard a Holic, like I said, they
17:10
Speaker 1: they recently came out with their top five. Number one
17:14
Speaker 1: was the Beard a Holic. It boosts beard growth, it
17:18
Speaker 1: doesn't have doesn't leave beards greasy, It eliminates beerd druff
17:22
Speaker 1: entirely doesn't get that itchiness. Number two was the Honestamish
17:27
Speaker 1: Classic that I had mentioned that I've used. I agree.
17:32
Speaker 1: I'm just assuming that Beard to Holic went number one
17:34
Speaker 1: because their product is going to be number one on
17:37
Speaker 1: their own list. So Beard to Halic, if you are listening,
17:40
Speaker 1: please send me a bottle. I'd love to see if
17:42
Speaker 1: it matches up against the Honest Domish Honestamish Premium is
17:47
Speaker 1: the longest lasting according to them, and it actually has
17:50
Speaker 1: some probably some biotin or some some chemicals in there,
17:55
Speaker 1: not chemicals, but products in there that will help speed
17:58
Speaker 1: beard growth. And Ringinger was their their number four products,
18:03
Speaker 1: and number five was Viking Viking Revolution, which I have tried.
18:07
Speaker 1: It gave a great, great shine to it. It made
18:11
Speaker 1: my beard feel great, but it just I had a
18:14
Speaker 1: lot of a lot of issues with control with bigger beards.
18:18
Speaker 1: It is tough. I do use a beard butter as well.
18:20
Speaker 1: I use live bearded beard brother beard brother, live bearded
18:25
Speaker 1: beard butter well. I try to say that five times fest.
18:28
Speaker 1: I know I'm not going to, but yeah, So that's
18:31
Speaker 1: that's my that's my combination. Those are the top rated
18:35
Speaker 1: that I'd highly recommend if you have one that's better.
18:38
Speaker 1: I know there's some out there some other people have
18:40
Speaker 1: recommended that they've had great luck for and I can
18:43
Speaker 1: I can touch on those on a further beard talk.
18:49
Speaker 1: Now that we've gone over what oils to try, how
18:53
Speaker 1: to trim all that? How often should you oil? You
18:57
Speaker 1: got to oil every day, I'm telling you, every single
19:00
Speaker 1: day with a big beard like mine. Other big beards.
19:04
Speaker 1: They can attest to this. You're gonna want to oil
19:06
Speaker 1: more than once a day. I know a couple of times.
19:10
Speaker 1: Ie oil in the morning. By the time afternoon hits
19:13
Speaker 1: you can just kind of tell it. It's kind of
19:15
Speaker 1: soaked in. It's just kind of all over the place,
19:18
Speaker 1: So apply it as needed. Usually all I do is
19:22
Speaker 1: put it in a pod of your hand. Make about
19:23
Speaker 1: a quarter to a fifty cent piece. Yeah, kids, fifty
19:27
Speaker 1: cent piece. They used to be a thing. Look them up.
19:30
Speaker 1: Rub your hands together, start at the neck area, and
19:33
Speaker 1: just kind of stroke the beard, just evenly. Put it
19:36
Speaker 1: in there. If you want to touch it up with
19:38
Speaker 1: your beard, bomb your beerd butter, do the same thing.
19:40
Speaker 1: Get a glob of it, get your hands together, just
19:42
Speaker 1: get in there. Yes, I'm residue. Throw it in the
19:45
Speaker 1: chest hair, throw it in your normal hair. Don't let
19:47
Speaker 1: it go to waste. But yeah, try to apply as
19:50
Speaker 1: much as you can. The basic roll thumb is twice
19:53
Speaker 1: a day. If it can't happen, that's fine, but you'll
19:58
Speaker 1: definitely notice the benefits of doing it. Even if you
20:00
Speaker 1: do it, you know in the morning or when you
20:02
Speaker 1: get home from work. Make sure you do apply with
20:06
Speaker 1: a lightly wetted beard, it will absorb it and it'll
20:10
Speaker 1: make it look much better some people as well, you
20:16
Speaker 1: might want to do three times a day. I mean,
20:18
Speaker 1: if you want to promote hair growth, a clean face
20:20
Speaker 1: and regular use of beard oil is definitely going to
20:23
Speaker 1: help your body grow more hair. It's just science. Look
20:27
Speaker 1: it up. During hot summer months, the beard oil is
20:29
Speaker 1: going to act like a sunscreen for your hair, so
20:31
Speaker 1: it doesn't dry out, crack, and eventually break. Just another
20:34
Speaker 1: great benefit of using oil before you go swimming. Shouldn't
20:37
Speaker 1: come as a surprise, but chlorine fountain pools and water
20:40
Speaker 1: parks really damage and dry out your beard, So make
20:43
Speaker 1: sure you apply oil before you come into contact with
20:45
Speaker 1: the chlorine. It's going to help with that. If it
20:48
Speaker 1: does dry it out, just get a little more un after.
20:51
Speaker 1: Besides potentially harming the proteins in your beard, the essential
20:55
Speaker 1: oils and premium beard oils are very susceptible to heat,
20:58
Speaker 1: and their effectiveness can degenerate very quickly if heated, so
21:03
Speaker 1: store your beard oils at room temperature. You should be
21:06
Speaker 1: good to go. But yeah, I mean, it's just kind
21:09
Speaker 1: of common sense. Hear Hungary, They have some more information
21:13
Speaker 1: feel free to check it out. Now that I've almost
21:17
Speaker 1: beaten you with a dead horse about the oil talk
21:19
Speaker 1: and how important it is, I'm gonna let it go.
21:22
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna let it go like Elsa, all right,
21:24
Speaker 1: But I just want to touch on shampoos and conditioners.
21:27
Speaker 1: I did mention earlier. I'm a Viking Revolution guy. Tools
21:31
Speaker 1: of Men has a great article about their best beard shampoos.
21:36
Speaker 1: They've got Professor Fuzzworthyes, they've got beard Washed by the
21:39
Speaker 1: Mountaineer brand, Art Natural's Natural Beard Shampoo, Viking Revolution, Zeus's
21:46
Speaker 1: Beard Shampoo, Blue Beards Beard Grills shampoo and conditioner set.
21:50
Speaker 1: So you can. You can find all these on Amazon.
21:53
Speaker 1: You can. You can go buy the best trated, but
21:55
Speaker 1: that doesn't always mean it is the best trated. It's
21:58
Speaker 1: just the most boton, so just do a little research.
22:02
Speaker 1: I highly recommend going liquid shampoo over bar shampoo. I
22:07
Speaker 1: just haven't heard great things about people using the bar shampoos.
22:13
Speaker 1: If they work for you, that's great, But the biggest
22:16
Speaker 1: thing is kind of trial and error. They're only fourteen
22:20
Speaker 1: fifteen bucks for your shampoo conditioner sets. You're talking eight
22:23
Speaker 1: nine bucks for some amis Dot oil. So I mean,
22:26
Speaker 1: you're looking at thirty bucks, you're gonna get a You're
22:28
Speaker 1: gonna get a month or two out of it. It's
22:29
Speaker 1: not terrible to have just an amazing, feeling, amazing looking beard,
22:35
Speaker 1: because if you're going to grow it, let's be honest,
22:37
Speaker 1: you want it to look good as always. If you
22:42
Speaker 1: have any questions any social media, hit me up, shoot
22:46
Speaker 1: me an email, whatever's easier. Love to get into further detail.
22:49
Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it anymore. I do,
22:51
Speaker 1: but I feel like I've just lost you guys. But
22:53
Speaker 1: if you're still here, thank you very much. Let's talk
22:56
Speaker 1: about what's coming up with beard laws, what's new, what's exciting.
23:01
Speaker 1: As I mentioned earlier, if you don't know about beer laws,
23:05
Speaker 1: still trying to raise a little bit of money. The
23:07
Speaker 1: new quote is about seventy four hundred, and then that
23:11
Speaker 1: was for eleven forty three inch LGTV, So going from
23:15
Speaker 1: thirteen inch crtvs to forty three inch just gonna blow
23:20
Speaker 1: some people mind. But I was just recently informed that
23:26
Speaker 1: there might be expanding to go to thirteen so I
23:29
Speaker 1: would like to get confirmation on that. If I do,
23:32
Speaker 1: I'm going to need about an extra thousand dollars, So
23:35
Speaker 1: there is still room for donations. Anything that is made
23:39
Speaker 1: on beer Laws doesn't go to me, it goes directly
23:41
Speaker 1: towards the cancer center. So feel free. Like I said,
23:44
Speaker 1: check it out PayPal. Whatever is mentioned earlier in the podcast,
23:47
Speaker 1: I'll recap it in the outro. But another exciting project
23:55
Speaker 1: that is coming up is a book. I've always had
23:59
Speaker 1: a concept of one to put out a book. So
24:02
Speaker 1: what I think I'm going to do is I'm reaching
24:04
Speaker 1: out to local artists, people that can draw, people that
24:07
Speaker 1: want to draw. If that is you, please let me know,
24:10
Speaker 1: hit me up. But I want to take I'm going
24:13
Speaker 1: to take all the beard Laws that are out there,
24:15
Speaker 1: the ones that are copywritten, the first one hundred and
24:17
Speaker 1: fifty or so, and get them into a book, probably
24:21
Speaker 1: going to be volume one. Stay tuned. It's going to
24:24
Speaker 1: be exciting. I'm excited. I just envision it as just
24:29
Speaker 1: the typical dude bathroom reading. Yes, I know it's weird
24:35
Speaker 1: to sit there and think that a lot of people
24:37
Speaker 1: might read my book while on the toilet, but you
24:41
Speaker 1: have to read something, all right. Maybe it's just a
24:44
Speaker 1: dude thing. Maybe it's just guys that I hang out with,
24:46
Speaker 1: fellas let me know, but I feel I got to
24:50
Speaker 1: read something, all right. But he was over here the
24:52
Speaker 1: other day, had some Taco bell who dearly was paying
24:56
Speaker 1: for it and forgot his phone, so he just read
25:00
Speaker 1: a shampoo bottle round two. Taco Bell hit a little
25:03
Speaker 1: later on grabbed another bottle there. I think he was
25:06
Speaker 1: reading the Bleach. So if you have any information or
25:09
Speaker 1: any questions of what happens if you accidentally consume bleach,
25:12
Speaker 1: it is on the bottle. But you can hit me
25:14
Speaker 1: up and I'll have my friend give you a shout.
25:16
Speaker 1: So I just think that the Beard Lost book is
25:19
Speaker 1: just gonna be an amazing, funny, easy read for when
25:23
Speaker 1: you're doing your business. Hopefully it can turn into something
25:27
Speaker 1: way more awesome, like reading some laws to your kid
25:30
Speaker 1: as they go to bed. Maybe the children can read
25:33
Speaker 1: the laws themselves. Some of them are very not kid appropriate,
25:37
Speaker 1: just to be warned. But yeah, that's something exciting that
25:40
Speaker 1: is coming up. Stay on the lookout for that. And
25:43
Speaker 1: like I said, if you're an artist and you want
25:45
Speaker 1: to help out police, hit me up. I would love it.
25:48
Speaker 1: Also coming up potentially doing a little mini episode in
25:53
Speaker 1: a series that the Real Slim Yeaesus a Instagram user.

26:57
Speaker 1: of kills the other games for me. I don't know why.
27:00
Speaker 1: Maybe it's just me, maybe it's you guys, but been
27:03

27:07
Speaker 1: it and overplay and overplay it to kind of, you know,

27:29
Speaker 1: know about there's a group of bearded gentlemen that have
27:37
Speaker 1: a very very good mission something similar to kind of
27:42
Speaker 1: what I have worked hard for with Beard Laws, but
27:46
Speaker 1: a much bigger, better, well done established group. I've talked
27:55
Speaker 1: to a lot of people about them. It was something
27:58
Speaker 1: like I said, the mission statement just caught my eyes.
28:00
Speaker 1: It's Bearded Villains Bearded Villains dot com. You can check

30:16
Speaker 1: to thanks to mine for working so hard to help
30:18
Speaker 1: me be a part of an amazing brotherhood. Right, it's
30:21
Speaker 1: now time for some beard news, because let's face it,
30:24
Speaker 1: what's better than some news isn't the same old political
30:27
Speaker 1: the same old, boring, monotonous kind of news. In my opinion,
30:33
Speaker 1: I know a lot of people are into that, just
30:34
Speaker 1: in my opinion, it kind of seems like it's there's
30:37
Speaker 1: a lot of depressing it's the same kind of things,
30:39
Speaker 1: and it just kind of bums me out. So what
30:41
Speaker 1: I do is I try to find news that involves beards.
30:45
Speaker 1: So recently a buddy of mine sent me over a
30:47
Speaker 1: link from the Ledbible dot com about how genetics expert
30:53
Speaker 1: finally explains why so many non ginger people have ginger beards.
30:58
Speaker 1: So I'm just kind of looking at it like, huh,
31:01
Speaker 1: I guess I kind of am intrigued because like, if
31:04
Speaker 1: you look on my beard, the bottom of its orange,
31:06
Speaker 1: there are certain patches that just turns bright orange. I
31:09
Speaker 1: don't have any family members that I'm aware of at
31:12
Speaker 1: all that are gingers or have any type of ginger traits.
31:17
Speaker 1: According to ancestry dot com, I am twenty five percent Irish,
31:22
Speaker 1: but I don't I can't see any redheads and any
31:26
Speaker 1: foreseeable future any family members that I have met on
31:29
Speaker 1: either side of my family. So quick little bullet points
31:34
Speaker 1: from the article here. It was funny they made a
31:36
Speaker 1: little joke and it's like, if you look at the
31:37
Speaker 1: beer and you look and you got some ginger in,
31:40
Speaker 1: you don't worry. Your mother wasn't with the milkman. There's
31:44
Speaker 1: actual scientific evidence that supports what's going on. So, according
31:49
Speaker 1: to this expert, in order to have red hair, an
31:54
Speaker 1: individual needs to have two copies of the same gene,
31:56
Speaker 1: one from their mom and one from their dad. However,
31:59
Speaker 1: for ginger beard, a person only needs just one copy
32:02
Speaker 1: of that gene, which means that if either of their
32:04
Speaker 1: parents has it, even if they don't have red hair,
32:07
Speaker 1: then they're going to end up with a hint of
32:08
Speaker 1: auburn and their facial hair, which I just kept reading
32:14
Speaker 1: into because neither of my parents have any red hair.
32:18
Speaker 1: But I'm guessing my dad's side that was Irish at
32:22
Speaker 1: least had the gene in it, which is pretty interesting
32:26
Speaker 1: stuff to me, at least I think. In the scientists name,
32:30
Speaker 1: I'm sorry you're probably never gonna hear this podcast, but
32:32
Speaker 1: if you do, I do apologize for butchering your name.
32:34
Speaker 1: But it appears to be Petra hake Bloom from her
32:39
Speaker 1: for Centrum, the Dutch National Information Center of Genetics and
32:43
Speaker 1: Hereditary Traits. Apparently, he said that generally speaking, people inherent
32:49
Speaker 1: hair color not only from their parents, but also from
32:51
Speaker 1: their grandparents and even early ancestors. The genes that determine
32:55
Speaker 1: hair color are also called incomplete dominant hereditary traits, that
33:00
Speaker 1: there isn't one single gene that's dominant over the rest,
33:03
Speaker 1: but all genes influence each other. So it's entirely possible
33:06
Speaker 1: that one distant ancestor had a hair color that suddenly
33:09
Speaker 1: appears again through a certain combination of genes, and that
33:13
Speaker 1: can be quite unexpected for parents. So if you've been
33:18
Speaker 1: wondering why you have that random, that random ginger spot
33:22
Speaker 1: or ginger hair, I always thought, honestly, like it was
33:25
Speaker 1: just from the sun or the hair getting too long.
33:28
Speaker 1: It was gonna go a little bit orangeish, and then
33:30
Speaker 1: it was just gonna start turning gray and white. Maybe
33:34
Speaker 1: I have a couple more years with the black and
33:36
Speaker 1: obviously the ginger. So to any of my great ancestors
33:40
Speaker 1: that carry this gene, thank you very much. It's a
33:42
Speaker 1: little weird, but I'm proud to have a little bit
33:44
Speaker 1: of that ginger. In other news, Portland has proposed new
33:48
Speaker 1: standards for beards, tattoos and education for officers due to
33:52
Speaker 1: a very big shortage. Apparently, Portland police officers may soon
33:57
Speaker 1: be allowed to grow beards, as long as the facial
34:00
Speaker 1: hair doesn't interfere with their job performance or does not
34:02
Speaker 1: interfere with the proper fit of protective equipment. The proposed
34:06
Speaker 1: beard policy was Announcednesday, among a package of changes the
34:09
Speaker 1: BEREA is making to deal with a critical shortage of
34:12
Speaker 1: officers and recruiting challenges. Well, that's just great news. I mean,
34:17
Speaker 1: there's no need to ever fear a police officer with
34:20
Speaker 1: a nice beard, you know, it can it can't interfere
34:24
Speaker 1: with equipment and this and that. But I mean it's
34:28
Speaker 1: not a Viking. I mean, if there was vikings coming
34:31
Speaker 1: at us, there's reason to be a little bit worried.
34:33
Speaker 1: Or if there's pirates coming at us, like real legit pirates,
34:36
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a worry. But a beer
34:38
Speaker 1: a police officer that just screams, that just screams, absolutely innocent,
34:43
Speaker 1: absolutely absolutely calming. But maybe it's just me. I don't know.
34:49
Speaker 1: So that's what we got for beer news. Pretty exciting stuff.
34:54
Speaker 1: Glad I could educate you if you're in Portland, you're
34:57
Speaker 1: looking to be a cop, don't want to shave. You
35:00
Speaker 1: can be a cop now probably make some good money too.
35:03
