• 5:57
  Speaker 1: I got a personal question, if you don't mind me asking.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I was looking at the trailer for uh, for your movie,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: right and I was and I was like, damn, his
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: hair looks good.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: This weird looks good.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: At what point did you start going great and then
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: just say, you know what'screw, I'm gonna let it keep going.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: It just happened like it was. You know, it's like,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: I won't go bald if the you know, if the
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: genetic thing works.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: No, you're good right now.
• 6:24

• 6:47
  Speaker 3: then you're like, it just all kind of works out.
• 6:49
