00:01 - I appreciate everybody taking a day off.

00:04 - Coming out.

00:05 - Show off the mullets.

00:07 - My friends like it and everything.

00:09 - They call me Joe Dirt.

00:10 - My mom also thought they were cool.

00:12 - Yeah, and I was the 2024.

00:16 - So today it's our second annual mullet contest.

00:19 - Last year we had a ton of entries.

00:21 - This year it looks like even more.

00:23 - So we'll just be judging the swagger, the flair of everyone's mullet

00:27 - and giving away some awesome prizes.

00:29 - We had 102 pre entries and we're also accepting day of entries as well.

00:34 - Mullet is definitely short on top, long on back.

00:37 - Sometimes side shaved.

00:40 - Depends how extreme you want to go.

00:42 - It's definitely a pretty popular, style these days.

00:46 - And the farm community, as well as

00:48 - the more like urban communities, I think, too, now.

00:51 - So it's definitely got a wide range of variety.

00:54 - We mainly do mullets at my hair salon, so that's kind of what we're known for.

00:58 - So we get people coming in asking for mullets all the time.

01:01 - And, we love it.

01:02 - Sometimes we'll even perm them to make them extra awesome.

01:06 - But, yeah, we love doing them all.

01:08 - All right, number 20. What is it?

01:10 - What is your name?

01:11 - Landon. Really?

01:12 - The first thing that wanted me to get my mullet grown out was because I'm a ginger.

01:17 - I have very sensitive skin,

01:19 - and it would always make me upset whenever I got my neck, like, sunburned.

01:22 - All right, 13 to 18.

01:24 - Let's kick it off with Braden. Number five.

01:27 - I've been going out for like five, six years.

01:31 - And what brought me to it was a little baseball thing that went

01:36 - on my buddy's head.

01:37 - If we lost a game, we would have to cut it.

01:40 - And come to find out, we went undefeated and won the championship.

01:44 - All right.

01:44 - Number 55, Romeo Valdez. Oh.

01:52 - I like the style.

01:53 - Well, I'm not sure.

01:56 - Like a couple months ago, I was,

01:59 - Well, I had swim lessons.

02:03 - You know, it was like, this is like, this guy.

02:07 - Kind of like a lifeguard who he had.

02:09 - Look, mullet.

02:09 - And I thought. I thought the mullet look really cool.

02:12 - So I asked my mom, like, someday I could get a haircut, have mullet.

02:17 - Well, that happened one week ago.

02:19 - Look at this guy. Wow.

02:21 - Almost by me.

02:23 - Is going to go up on a stage.

02:26 - I'm looking forward to going up there and just, like, trying everything out.

02:31 - Maybe I'll win.

02:31 - Maybe I won't.

02:33 - Just having a good time.

02:34 - Just having a good time. Just the fun of it.

02:37 - Bunch of new people that look the same in

02:42 - everything else.

02:45 - It's just are really overall mullet creativity and your swagger.

02:50 - So we want to see people up here putting on a show.

02:54 - Flaunting your mullets that we like the outfits.

02:57 - Oh, that kind of stuff makes a really big difference for each smaller category.

03:02 - For the ages, we just have gift bags that like candy, toys.

03:06 - Hair products, brushes, combs, that kind of stuff.

03:08 - And then the main prize we have, like, working gloves, hand warmers,

03:13 - coffee cups, gift cards, all kinds of stuff like that.

03:17 - How many of you noticed the, front end of the Camaro sitting up here?

03:43 - Best and grow ocean city, Maryland.

03:48 - Like a couple days ago,

03:50 - my grandpa, my grandfather, like, probably got.

03:54 - I think he got a text from, like, one of his buddies.

03:58 - And then he told me

03:59 - that he almost forgot that there was a mullet competition going on here.

04:03 - Harrisburg.

04:04 - And, and then I almost forgot about that.

04:07 - So instead of just, like, not coming, I want to know.

04:11 - I want to make sure I was there, like, looking fresh because I knew

04:15 - it was a big deal because, like, it's like it's like it's like a really big deal.

04:20 - It's not just a competition. Not just anyone.

04:23 - It's a really special one.

04:25 - I think honestly, over like the lockdown and stuff, people started

04:30 - not being so serious about, you know, what they look like

04:33 - at work, what they look like, you know, and like a professional setting.

04:37 - So they were getting a little more flexible with their style.

04:39 - And they're awesome.

04:41 - They're really versatile and people just love them.

04:43 - They make everyone smile.
