Hi Lindsey, Molly, and Jason,

I am a long-time listener and first time writer, and I have something to
say,

“I AM NOT A TOOL!!!”

While it may be the height of “tool-iness” to be so lazy or sloppy in
one’s personal grooming as to need to wear a stupid GoBots mouth guard
in order to maintain one’s beard, just having a goatee is not.

I wear a goatee because (like the rest of the men in family) it
compliments the shape of my face and I choose to wear it over a full
beard because:
a) a full beard requires more maintenance–my hair is curly,
b) I don’t like the scruffy/itchy stage while beard’s is growing
in, and
c) I don’t like my beard scrubbing on the collars of my shirts,
jackets, etc.

I also don’t go clean shaven because I have been blessed/cursed/? with a

“baby face” and when I have to work with people, most of whom are much
older than I–with whatever other prejudices they may have, I don’t need
them treating me like a kid because I look like I’m sixteen instead of
my proper age of 33.

Love the show otherwise.

Wayde
