  I think he's passed the facial hair torch to Nick.

  I came here expecting facial hair, and was sorely disappointed. Matt, you tease.

Ha! I love the "reveal" at the 2:35 mark. There are other people sitting there!

"& Company" doesn't seem to be paying much attention to what cub reporter Matt Welch is saying. Either that or they're all tweeting the convo.

Matt Welch, you've been around too many native French; the flailing of your arms is distracting and unnatural. I see you have learned from your last fashion faux pas but the tie is still not right.; bring two and ask the camera guy's opinion!

  You seem not to understand that the tie is a conscious choice.

    If you are going to rock your style, do so consistently-otherwise it will not be your "look" but make you look unpolished. Your hands on Gutfeld's show made me think you were sending out secret codes a la 39 steps.

      You mean like Nick owns the leather jacket look?
      
      You're tie might have been a little Regis Philbinesque.
      
      Nice job though!

      Who says "unpolished" isn't a look?

        Sure it is. Just like that young woman who designs clothing with the intent of disarming the male gaze.

Nice job though.

So the Reason staff had a facial hair contest, and... everybody lost?

  Freedom lost.

So much for that "It's all cuts!" prediction. It's half cuts, half assumed voter-passed tax increases. In other words, Jerry Brown is old enough to play games.
