This is going to be an awesome video. If some of you have been following the channel,
you know for the last three to six months I've had an MIP, mullet in progress. And today,
I get to actually go get a haircut from the barber that helped me embark on this
adventure in the very beginning, and we're going to see him now.
Correction. We're headed to Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado to get me an adult beverage,
because that is the only way I am going to be surviving the MIP adventure today.
If you're Team Lauren, I know what you're thinking. How on earth am I letting him go
to another barbershop where he's going to get a mullet haircut? But we had a conversation
about it, and he asked me if he was allowed to tell me what I was going to do with my hair,
and that was a pretty hard, fast no. So, figured that, end of the day, it's just hair,
even if it is really, really bad hair. This is Pearl Street. And the reason we came
down here today is because not only do I need a cocktail for this experience, but this place
is known for all sorts of cool local hangout spots. And you know, those are our favorite.
We just spot this local coffee shop. And I mean, it's pretty much always a good time for coffee.
Coffee secured. Got a golden latte. It has turmeric in it.
And it's not exactly easy to find, so super happy to find it here.
Well, on Daniel's mission to get coffee, my cocktail is a no-go.
For now. We just realized it's appointment time, and we've got to hurry up and make it to our
appointment. Well, technically my appointment. Are you shocked? We're late.
All right. Just made it to the barbershop. And if you're Team Daniel, definitely give me a thumbs
up. And if you're Team Lauren, you just got to keep in mind, life is a garden, dig it?
Look who it is. Meet Casey, Daniel's long time barber from Tampa Bay who recently moved to
Colorado. Honestly, I used to really like him, that is, before he gave Daniel this insane idea
that his hair would make a great mullet right before we moved into the Airstream.
Are you so excited? I'm so excited. I might
be breaking your achy breaky heart, but [it's going to be worth it 00:03:49].
At least he can guarantee there won't be a center part after this experience.
But Casey did find me a beer, so at least I get that cocktail after all.
This is pure awesomeness, all of this. This plan has been in place for a very
long time. It feels like a lifetime, probably, to Lauren, but realistically,
maybe over the course of the last year. While having to watch this ridiculous debacle,
it made me wonder about the history of the mullet. So, I did some Googling, and apparently
it's not just a bad '80s fad, and it's gone by many different names over the centuries.
From the mention of the haircut in the Greek poet Homer's The Iliad, to the term being coined in
1994 by the Beastie Boys, it's got a long history. Nothing that makes Daniel wearing one acceptable,
but it does make for a pretty interesting reading if you've got some spare time on your hands.
Oh my goodness. Lauren is definitely going to make me sleep outside in the tent tonight,
but it's going to be so worth it.
It looks like spackle. [inaudible 00:05:49].
You're running, and they're faster than you. You're not too mad about it now.
Exactly. You're just going to admire.
You're not going to try to outrace them now. I mean, there's a runner specifically that I
admire. His name is Craig Engels. And he runs with a mullet, and his hair was glorious. In a
sport where everybody is so serious, he's sporting a mullet and still kicking ass.
I think we're going to inspire a lot of mullets in this video.
I feel like the cape is like a garage door,
and we're about to take this Ferrari out for a stroll. Like the world needs to see this.
Oh my goodness. I think my favorite part is that I can still take a Zoom call,
and I look like business pro in the front, but yet it's like all party.
Just grow everything that you have, and then just one day shave it right off.
That's a good strategy. I can grow a beard, and then one day shave the beard and leave
the stache. Yeah.
Boy, as happy as I am, I feel like the next
step here is to get Lauren's reaction. So, I'm going to turn the camera around on her.
I will say, it's better than the Vegas one. Oh, there's a compliment in there.
And a callout. Oh.
Hope Vegas guy's not watching. We love Vegas guy, but it's just so fluffy.
You love it, don't you? No.
All right. So, at this point, you're literally either Team Lauren who doesn't
enjoy a really stylish looking mullet. Or is sane.
Or you're Team Daniel, and you really can appreciate
a really awesome and very stylish haircut. I'm just throwing that out there. So, let us know.
The mystery is you never know what you're going to get. Right? That's the mystery flavor. But then it
could be something disgusting. I find this is how we do life. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Mystery Dum Dum. Oh, it's root beer. Okay, so root beer's not bad. I mean, it's no sour apple.
Good to see you, my friend. [inaudible 00:08:16]. Okay.
Feeling pretty awesome right now.
Honestly, I feel like the only thing I'm missing right now is my boots from Austin.
All right, now that the mullet miserableness is over, we're at least going to go grab some really
good dinner, because there has to be something about this adventure that something to do with me.
We found Leaf vegetarian restaurant with a quick search on Google maps for vegetarian food,
which brought us back to Pearl Street. Our favorite restaurants are, of course, locally
owned, but even better when their fare is locally sourced, which is what drew us to Leaf because
they even have their own local farm a few miles away outside of Boulder. The drinks were on point,
and we started with a delicious naan flatbread followed by a bibimbap and orange chicken.
After perusing the dessert menu, we decided that all things sweet taste better in the
Airstream. So, we placed a to-go order and headed back to our silver bullet home.
Carrot cake is Daniel's absolute favorite. So, what more perfect way to end a ridiculous
goofy video than Daniel's favorite cake? It is actually really quite beautiful,
and even tastier than it is pretty. I think these are candied walnuts on top.
Yeah, definitely. The icing on it looks beautiful.
It almost looks like fondant, even though I know it's not. This is just so perfect.
Oh my. I mean, easily the best carrot cake I've ever had in my whole life. This right here is
exactly why you need to wander local, my friends. Because some of the most undiscovered gems
are right out there just waiting to be discovered, and they're good for the soul.
