Yeah, if you're gonna chop the hair, then lose the beard. Otherwise ya end up looking like you should be playing standing bass in a bad rockabilly band. But, at least he doesn't look like he's trying too hard to look like Alan Moore anymore.
Brian kind of annoys me, because he's a smartass... but he's not funny. I don't mind smartasses if they're actually funny, but, he can't back it up. He just insults everybody about being a nerd while there he sits, the biggest nerd of the bunch. It's like watching Donald Trump make fun of somebody's hair.
Walt also irritates me, getting so over-ruled by his childhood, and always being a jerk to Ming. Ming's the most likeable guy on the show; he's a goof but has no attitude about it, and isn't always trying to kiss up. I get tired of him being the butt of every joke, although he's a good sport about it. And Mike's okay; he basically seems like he's just doing his job. But Walt and Brian, eh, the lesser the better. And Kevin Smith... the only interesting thing about him being on that show is watching him manage to string four or five words together without one of them being the effword. I'm a fan of the effword, but Kevin Smith wears me out with that thing... he's like Deadwood on a lock-groove.
Mostly I just watch the show out of curiosity to see what stuff will be brought into the store... although those interactions are so faked it's painful.

According to multiple episodes of the podcast, Bry has Adam's apple and double chin issues. The beard is not going anywhere. He has told a story a few times about how some jock in a creative writing class he took in community college mocked him about his Adam's apple while he was reading a paper he wrote. He even approached a doctor about having it shaved, and was told that the surgery is common for transsexuals.

Yup. This is all correct. The beard is a must for Bry. He feels like he needs it.
If you guys haven't listened to the pod and you're bashing Bry for "not being funny" or whatever the ass. It's because you're not getting the real Bry, or Walt, for that matter. You're getting fabricated and neutered versions of these guys for this scripted TV show. Stop watching the show and listen to TESD.
You're definitely getting the real Ming on CBM though. But it's also the fake Ming.

Yeah, Brian needs to sit in a corner and continue to rot away.
