A bunch of guys on Whidbey Island in Washington have beards, an unusually high percentage. But Jack Stine is less interested in those guys, and more interested in himself.

With mostly bearded men in the KIRO Newsradio studio, we take an admittedly biased survey — are beards cringe, or are they based? And also, why is our board op Andrew using a dog trimmer?

Join The Jack and Spike Show while we’re live in the studio from noon to 3pm on 97.3 FM, and shave your beard (or anything else) while you listen anytime you like with our daily podcast: https://mynorthwest.com/category/jack-and-spike/
