[Bit 1]

Yeah, I'm bald but I I don't I don't miss having hair I miss taking chances with haircuts

I used to stop by like a random house business and just take a chance with a haircut

You know, they don't have an actual sign just like the number seven and the scissor logo

Break that down for the seven, that's how much the haircut costs.

The scissor logo means they don't speak English.

I walked into this place in Chicago, this lady knew I didn't speak Spanish,

but she wasn't going to lose a customer.

She grabbed me, marched me to a chair, sits me down,

wants to do the whole thing without talking.

Actual words just picks up clippers, holds the net to my head,

and goes, "Eh?"

I said, "Eh."

Puts those down, picks up scissors, goes, "Eh?"

I don't think there's a third choice, so, uh-huh.

And then she just proceeded to give me the haircut

she assumes all white people get?

Top three haircuts of my life.

I hung out and had Kool-Aid with her kids.
