Episode notes

This episode starts with a ridiculous choice and somehow turns into a very serious discussion about beards, baby faces, eyebrows, beauty standards, and why apparently a beard can make someone instantly more attractive.

The dilemma: would you rather grow a full-on beard… or never understand anything you watch ever again? Naturally, the conversation spirals into mustaches, unibrows, face shaving, historical beauty ideals, and one very bold conclusion: maybe the beard would actually work.
