Speaker 1: about the tenth the annual South Dakota Beard Clash. I
Speaker 1: didn't even know this was the thing. And we've got
Speaker 1: JB Is that right?
Speaker 2: Yep?
Speaker 1: Correct, And we're going to chat about this event. It's
Speaker 1: in September, so we got time to plant and you
Speaker 1: might even have time to grow out a little facial here.
Speaker 2: If you want, right, Oh, yeah, there plenty of time.
Speaker 1: Yet it's between now and September. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much I'll be able to grow between now and then,
Speaker 1: But like, you've got a pretty cool beard going here.
Speaker 1: How long have you been working on that?
Speaker 2: Oh, I've had I've had a full beard for probably
Speaker 2: twenty years, Okay, but I want to say about five
Speaker 2: six years ago. I've always thought about shaving the chin
Speaker 2: and just having what in the beard competition world they
Speaker 2: call them natural sideburns or chops okay, and I just
Speaker 2: we were at a competition. They needed some more entries
Speaker 2: in the chops class and they had a barber at
Speaker 2: the competition. It was a big national one.
Speaker 1: You like, sign me up.
Speaker 2: I was like, let's do it.
Speaker 1: That's awesome. So the event is coming up again, the
Speaker 1: tenth annul South Dakota Beard Clash, presented by Tito's Handmade Vodka.
Speaker 1: An Honest Amish Beard. What is honest Amish Beard?
Speaker 2: They're a beard care product company. Can they make like
Speaker 2: you can buy hair care for your hair, they make
Speaker 2: haircare for your beard.
Speaker 1: Well, that's cool. And it's a fundraiser for Sleep and
Speaker 1: Heavenly Peace, a South Dakota of nonprofit, which is really
Speaker 1: a cool thing as well. It's coming up at Bottoms
Speaker 1: Up in Course in September thirteenth, So you've got some time.
Speaker 1: But let's talk about these different categories. If people because
Speaker 1: there might be somebody listening, they could absolutely enter right now,
Speaker 1: they just didn't know what's happening. So we've got a
Speaker 1: full beard under four inches, so that says business class.
Speaker 1: So that's like a trimmed beard.
Speaker 2: And they do the measurements for length that's from the
Speaker 2: bottom your lower lip. Okay, so anything under four inches
Speaker 2: we consider that like the business class nice, it's typically
Speaker 2: more of a more of a cleaned up styled.
Speaker 1: Very nice beard. And I see a full beard four
Speaker 1: to eight inches, full beard eight to twelve inches, and
Speaker 1: then a full beard twelve plus. Which category has the
Speaker 1: most people?
Speaker 2: Usually it's usually the four to eight eight is usually
Speaker 2: one of the biggest classes very nice.
Speaker 1: And then there's also a full beard styled stash. What
Speaker 1: does that mean?
Speaker 2: That's where you have a full beard and you can
Speaker 2: use products to style, like a curl into your mustache.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you have both. Now there's also a go tea.
Speaker 1: See I just shaved, so I feel like naked here,
Speaker 1: but I have like just a little bit of a
Speaker 1: go tea.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: But for the go tea, I'm assuming that's probably people
Speaker 1: have like a big, a big go tea.
Speaker 2: It's yeah, any go tea there and there's a chance.
Speaker 1: And then chops, that's what you have. And then I
Speaker 1: see another category called whaler. What in the world is
Speaker 1: a whaler?
Speaker 2: Whaler is a full beard but no mustache.
Speaker 1: Okay, like an Abe Lincoln kind of can, that's a whaler.
Speaker 1: And then there's a mustache, natural mustache styled. So the
Speaker 1: difference between those is the natural is just like a
Speaker 1: tom Selleck.
Speaker 2: Mustache, just as it lays no no styling aids to
Speaker 2: help it like hold a curl.
Speaker 1: And then the style would be like the people that
Speaker 1: do the strong Man in the circus, but the cues.
Speaker 1: And then we also have a mustache horseshoe. What is
Speaker 1: a horseshoe.
Speaker 2: Horseshoe is where the mustache extends down. It's like a horseshoe, like.
Speaker 1: A John Rich. Yeah, so it's kind of like a
Speaker 1: go tea without the chin.
Speaker 2: Yes exactly.
Speaker 1: I did that one time just to see what my
Speaker 1: wife would say. She was not a fan, so.
Speaker 2: It's surprised we do. Actually not many smaller competition or
Speaker 2: like town competitions have that class because it's usually not
Speaker 2: very popular, but we usually do get a handful of
Speaker 2: people that show up for it.
Speaker 1: That again, mustache horseshoe. Then we have craft beard realistic.
Speaker 1: What is a craft beard.
Speaker 2: That's for the ladies to be able to get involved. Okay,
Speaker 2: they for the realistic, they make a fake beard that
Speaker 2: they put on that looks like a real beard.
Speaker 1: And then there's another craft beard creative. That's one where
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, wild and crazy.
Speaker 2: Yep. They take whatever crazy thing you want to do
Speaker 2: and make it look like a beard and put it on.
Speaker 1: Then there's freestyle that's just all bets are off, whatever
Speaker 1: you want to do.
Speaker 2: That's mainly like where guys style shapes into their beard.
Speaker 2: There they can get real creative with that.
Speaker 1: And there's a kid's class. Yep, how many kids have
Speaker 1: a beard.
Speaker 2: It's like the it's like the creative classes, and it's
Speaker 2: not a not a typical class like the way you
Speaker 2: do the other ones. We actually have crafts and stuff
Speaker 2: that when the kids get to the competition they can
Speaker 2: go that. We'll have a couple of people back there
Speaker 2: they can help them. They'll make one right there, and
Speaker 2: then they can come up on stage and talk about
Speaker 2: their beard.
Speaker 1: I love that. Well, I'm so glad you guys. Send
Speaker 1: an email to me. I'm looking June. Oh maybe it
Speaker 1: was the beginning of July. It's been a little bit,
Speaker 1: but we've been chatting back for trying to find a
Speaker 1: time to finally get this all put together. I'm so
Speaker 1: glad that we did this because this is fascinating and
Speaker 1: I guarantee because you've been doing this ten years. I'd
