Welcome back to Ask Tucker.
|
|
You get to ask me anything because I'm not afraid of people.
|
|
And then I get to give you the answer.
|
|
I'm 22 and I'm already going bald.
|
|
Should I just shave it off?
|
|
Well, my own personal view of this is, like, who cares what a man's hair looks like?
|
|
Honestly, you can tell I don't care that much about my own.
|
|
All men look the same.
|
|
That's the truth.
|
|
They're furry.
|
|
They're loud.
|
|
They're kind of lumpy.
|
|
You wouldn't want to see one naked.
|
|
Nobody cares about the male body.
|
|
Nobody.
|
|
So really, why are you worried about it?
|
|
But as long as you are worried about it and you are going bald, you should know there's probably nothing you can do about it.
|
|
So what's next?
|
|
Well, you have two options.
|
|
You can either, and think deeply about this, go for the rug option, the fake hair.
|
|
And if you do that, and too few people do it, and those who do never admit it, but I'm just going to be blunt with you.
|
|
If you do it, go full 70s pimp wig.
|
|
Just like Dacron, not even joking around.
|
|
Now, hardly anybody does this.
|
|
But there is one person who still does it, and he's in public life.
|
|
In fact, he's the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.
|
|
And his name is Mike Rogers of Alabama.
|
|
And I want to put his picture on the screen.
|
|
Now, look at that hair.
|
|
That hair.
|
|
All of which was made by the DuPont Company of Wilmington, Delaware.
|
|
That is 100% a reclaimed petroleum product.
|
|
And you look at Mike Rogers and you're like, everybody knows you're wearing a wig.
|
|
Why are you going to the trouble to do it?
|
|
Why are you pretending when the ruse isn't working?
|
|
And then you realize Mike Rogers gets off on the fact that you know it's a wig.
|
|
You know it's a wig.
|
|
He knows it's a wig.
|
|
But nobody says a word about it.
|
|
It's sick, actually.
|
|
It's a weird little pleasure he gets out of it.
|
|
So you can go that route, and I'm not judging you if you do, or you can shave it all off.
|
|
But I would just warn you, if you shave off all of your hair, you've got to stay thin.
|
|
You can't get fat.
|
|
You have to stay fit.
|
|
That's why almost every bald man you ever see is like a triathlete or would-be triathlete.
|
|
So if you commit to that, no more McDonald's for you.
|
|
But if you fall off the wagon, go full Mike Rogers, because at least it's kind of funny, honestly.
|
|
And there's got to be a woman out there who likes it.
