Sona do it oh I don't know do it it h they're burning uh hey check me on this who's got better hair than this man you I mean you're just you know I two of you you no you come no no is more of a caricature you have that's fantastic that's fantastic and uh my hair Heroes you're one of them the other was Jack Lord in Hawaii 5 oh yes remember he had that big sweet very nice and then I was my heart was crushed cuz I found out on this podcast remember who we were talking to who did a scene with him as it was a he was a child actor at the time was it was it Kur Russ who himself has amazing hair yeah who himself has amazing hair but Kurt Russell's talked to me went yeah I was a kid actor and did a Hawaii 5 and we were uh we they were doing my shot so the camera wasn't on Jack Lord and he took his hair off and I said and I said what do you mean he took his hair off and he said well you know it was a piece and I went I didn't know it was a piece did you know go ahead and take yours off no I'm looking at you now we're talking hair and I'm thinking my favorite haircut was shaved head bald oh really I'm looking at your head I said this man would look wonderful with BD head should I go for it have you ever have you ever never had never had sh head never had a shaved head really nice have you guys never none of you guys uh oh uh yeah you were a terrible uh for while was it it also wasn't my choice my friends did the thing when yeah yeah they shave my head and you like it finally did you get into it you know what I will say I did like it it's you you feel so you feel so like clean and well it's very you know all the at first it feels you know like you're just your forehead but up here and then you get this shark feeling it feels like the shark skin and you get a little velvet uh thing oh it is cat tongue little bit cat the way water hits on there and and stays in there when a shower no fuss no mus I mean I'm 6 hours every morning with my hair team you know they they putting they're using curlers they're injecting oh wow this is after 6 hours yeah okay just I then I was in a terrible accident my hair saved my life but it shatter I don't think I would shave my head because it's such a part of my identity that I've been pretty much reduced to like I am a Woody Woodpecker cartoon you know like I'm not even a person anymore I'm a cartoon character I I was going to ask you did did you you know use you now I seeing this is a silly question because I'm imagining of course you did but maybe I'm wrong did you put product in your hair and work that yeah you know that thing look at that Zeus Zeus is in the house volume you have no idea I did what was your product like okay I'll tell you exactly what it was I got into uh rockabilly that was my first love rockabilly music and I would play the old like bent brothers and I would I grew the sideburns and I realized my hair would do that so I first oh you must have oh piled it up and I used this stuff that a friend of mine turned me on he was like use 10x and there was this stuff they made called 10x and you'd put it in your hair and then you could comb it up and I was doing this in the 80s not a lot of other people were doing it and then I got a job on The Simpsons I remember I'm at The Simpsons and I had I'm a writer producer and I have these little sideburns Eisenhower jacket with the collar flipped up hair and I'd walk in the writers be like what the what are you doing this isn't a production of Grease you want to watch your favorite TV shows and movies on a TV whose Clarity color and contrast

leave me Al you know but but I don't know what it was I I was uh that's what I wanted to do and so my first big uh magazine cover was uh Rolling Stone and they put me on the cover Rolling Stone and this guy had this idea which is he took my hair and then he added these extensions and we blew it way out and it's my one of my favorite I've seen it like there's an air it's in an airport somewhere where they just put Rolling Stone covers up but mine was one of them and the hair it's like 50 lbs of hair in a giant weight wave on my head and it looks absolutely insane but I was like in my mind even though that's a joke that's what I really wanted it to be and still do you know well and you must do that I do it sometimes and my wife is like can't we go yeah not yet I need more mayonnaise for my qua how about a duck tail you never had never did the duck tail never did it that's that's kind of classic rock and Bell I know I didn't do the duct tail but I just got lost in all that craziness I don't know I come down to the it comes down to this for me I think there's a lot we do that's compulsion that I can't even you know when people tell their story they act like they made choices and they forged who they are and more and more I think I don't know my life is a bunch of synaptic misfires and now here I am I'm I you know the hair the the choice of so many things very doist you no but it is I mean and and I say misfires meaning I have a I don't know I don't know it sounds absurd for me to say I made any of this happen I didn't make any of this happen and I'm here talking to you and I don't know you're one of my all-time favorite uh actors people and you're here talking to me I didn't make this happen this just happened and I couldn't be happier there's this guy spolski uh you know who's saying there's no such thing as willpower that's uh you're not in control at all from the very you know from the very the circum just the circumstances that you come out of I don't know I kind of feel mixed about that you feel I because it maybe lets us off the hook too much yeah yeah well yeah cuz then anyone could say yeah I just murdered eight people and left their bodies by the roadside but that's just what I did you know you're like no no well that's yeah and he's he's big on on CRI on crime all the people people in jail who we say you're bad he's he's saying it's the circumstances you know yeah a lot of times the very very beginning of all how it turns out yeah I I think it's kind of uh don't you feel life is so paradoxical you know there's not one one way one thing you know I think it's kind of both you know maybe it's only willpower I don't know Co man yeah there you go it is it is two Coons one Co brother clapping yeah that means one Coen brother's really pissed about something it doesn't like the edit um well I want to make sure people check out the second season of the old manand it's so easy to binge the first season and uh I'm just a lifelong fan uh and not just of your work but you're you're an authentically nice uh and uh feeling person and I'm just it's an honor to know you it really is feel that same way yeah yeah well I'm a good act are you thanks a lot beautiful okay
