I don't... See, here's why I know we don't need soap.

Oh, there it is.

First off, if I have a bottle of shampoo, it will last me 11 years.

Number one.

Number two...

There's no way – I always say this.

It would be a horrible and cruel joke to all who came before us who did not have the Pantene option.

And I know the whole shampoo, conditioner, strip away the stuff, put it back.

I know your hair does not benefit from this.

I don't know if you really need soap to wash the balls.

Just answer the question.

Thank you.

Look, I think every now and then, yes, if you've been a little sweaty or if you've worked out or something, sure.

But I think there is – I mean when I was living through the era of the rise of the metrosexual, when I was writing about Patrick Bateman in American Psycho,

That's really when it started to come into play where men needed all of these creams.

And it was kind of the – what you call the dandyfication of American men.

And they started to –

believe in it they believe that it made them look better it made it made them believe they were more attractive to women and in reality it was just a huge money making kind of scheme I mean it was that's what it was but it's still in the culture I mean it's still as men believe this here's my feeling which is lip balm chapstick whatever and hand cream only means you need more of it it just creates a necessity for it

Once you start getting on the hand moisturizer, you're on.

Once you get on the chapstick, you're on the chapstick.
