Being the Beard

M

eet the winner of the Luksusowa No-Shave November Celebration, Buddy Muhler.

Buddy came out on top of the drinking party/beard contest, which was held last week at the Fillmore and benefitted the Testicular Cancer Foundation. We caught up with this Franklin Institute camp program supervisor by day, beard grower by night, to find out his no-shave secrets.

I have you in my phone as Buddy the Beard, do people call you that too? Yeah, yeah, that became

my nickname over the last two or so years.

And it’s your twitter handle too? It is my twitter

handle and my Instagram handle as well. It sort of became a thing because of one of my co-workers that actually came up with the phrase. I’ve had a beard for over a decade, but before it was really short and I would always grow it out for either when the Flyers were in the playoffs or the Eagles were in the playoffs. It was a playoff beard and I would let it go until they got knocked off. But after the 2011-2012 Flyers playoff, I just didn’t feel like cutting it. As sad as it is, I got lazy. Then I let it go for a couple of months and started to get compliments about it, people were like, “Hey that’s awesome, that looks great” and I was like, “Alright, let's see where this thing goes.” And I kept letting it grow, and now three years later here it is.

It’s funny how people on the streets, random people in coffee shops notice. I was just in Montreal for work, for a conference, and I’m just walking around by myself, checking stuff out and this random guy comes up to me and goes, “Can I take a picture of you?” Not with me, of me. So yeah random things like that happen. The people there at Starbucks in Montreal put “ZZ Top” on my cup, which is convenient, because I like ZZ Top.

Is this how long it gets? I don’t know! This is the lon-

gest it’s ever been. The only thing I trim are just the outside layers. I don’t want it to look super crazy.

do you have to condition it? Well, I shampoo it every morning, because I don’t really have anything else other than that to shampoo. And after I get out of the shower I comb it just because, since it's wet, otherwise it will be super poofy.

Are there annoying parts to having such a beard?

Food gets very challenging. Soup is the worst. Some people get it on their shirt, I get it on my beard. Anything that has like a sauce, like Buffalo wings. And because it’s so big, sometimes I don’t feel if there’s stuff stuck in there and my co-workers have to like tell me about it. And since I walk down the Parkway, by the Museum, it’s very windy at times, so it just flows around.

Is this the first competition you are in? Yes, I’ve

had plenty of people telling me I should enter a competition and I never really wanted to enter a competition just because I wouldn’t take it that seriously and I didn’t really think I had a shot in a lot of these.

I was basically pushed into entering that competition. It was fun that it was all for charity too.

do you have any advice for people who are interested in growing their beard? If they are actually

looking to grow a beard, like something like mine, you have to get through the first nine months, because it does kinda suck for a while, it’s very itchy, until you go through the first year. And it's hard to keep it straight, you get a lot more curls and things like that. Once you get past that year, gravity sort of starts to take over and it all sorts to start to line up. n

COMEDY | by Kevin Matuszak

@KevinMatuszak

Artie knows the score

T

he exact second the clock hits 11 am, the phone in my cubicle begins to ring. Exact timing. A voice that sounds like an unpaved road mutters, “This is Artie.” If you’re familiar with Artie Lange you know that this guy has quite the history, but no matter how messed up he was in the past, he never missed a call time or a show. Today was no exception.

So how does it feel to be back in the swing of things as a sober stand-up comedian?

It’s better than being in rehab. It’s good to get back in the game. I love comedy so much. It literally saved my life, ya know? I love doing it and I’m feeling great.

Wait, am I on the radio or is this for a magazine?

(Laughs) Philly Weekly. Magazine.

Ha, sorry, I got in late. I shot this HBO thing I’m doing. The shoot was almost 14 hours and I got home at 2:30 in the morning.

Well I was going to ask if you’re working on anything new, so you’re just coming off that right now?

The first day, yeah. It’s for this HBO pilot series that stars Pete Holmes. It’s his life story, supposedly he moved to New York like 10 years ago from the suburbs and he wanted to be a comedian and started going to the Comedy Cellar. … I play the first comic he meets that he’s a fan of. I play myself. I’m on stage after he finds out his wife cheated on him and I kinda feel bad for him. The first episode is me sort of helping him out.

And didn’t you just play yourself in The Jim Gaffigan Show, too?

Yeah that’s starting to happen now. I guess all of the legendary shit about me that’s sort of exciting... they like talking about it.

I think it’s refreshing that you’re still one of the comics that is unapologetic.

I like to have freedom to say whatever I want to say, and you hope the people you’re saying it to will be smart enough to understand the context you’re saying it …

These college kids ironically think they’re so smart, but they boo when you bring up

10 Hops, 10% ABV &100 IBU’s make it a smooth criminal.

Twice the alcohol of your average beer makes it a crime.

I’ll always be from a generation where the definition of a comedian is a guy who gets on stage in front of a crowd, so I hate it and I love making fun of it. Some of these comedy club owners hire these idiots who have been on the internet or on Twitter …

They’ll say, “We got this guy we found on Twitter last week. It was a sold out crowd and they only did four minutes and people wanted their money back.” I said dude, are you retarded? It surprises you that a guy who’s never left his mother’s basement is not good at stand-up comedy? You deserve to have people wanting their money back.

Well speaking of comedy clubs, you’re going to be at The Valley Forge Casino this weekend. What’s it like performing in these type of venues?

I love it, man … Six years after the Howard Stern show I’m still able to sell out venues and it’s very satisfying to meet a bunch of people who work blue collar.

Since we’re talking casino shows. Do you have any advice for me this weekend, because I owe my bookie about $700.

OK, I always look at the Packers. If the Packers are on the road giving less than a touchdown I would always go with them.

Other than that, I don’t handicap anymore, I can’t look at it because it leads to bad shit, ya know?

Highest Rate d points from Wine Enthusiast

Like any other time, there’s good and bad.

A lot of people are rewarded for doing safer comedy. I’ve always like dangerous comedy, where you don’t know what the actors [will] say because that’s entertaining, especially when you have a job or career where you have to play it safe.

Speaking of comedy suffering and being bad, what is your take on the Vine “celebrities” that call themselves comedians but never actually get on stage?

PR Sm

at 96 Rye

What’s your opinion on the current state of comedy?

a nationality, sexual preference or something like that, when they’re dumb because they’re not listening to the context in which you’re saying it. Just because you bring up the word German, or black people, or gay people, it doesn’t mean you’re starting a rally against them. You’re telling a joke about them … I noticed young comics get very scared about taking risks in their routine, they don’t want to offend anyone and that means their creativity is gonna get worse and worse.

Available in PA State Stores

You no longer gamble, right?

I wish I could say that for sure, but I fell off the gambling wagon at least 10 weeks ago, but no I don’t do it, I try very hard not to gamble.

Alright, Artie. I’ll let you get back to sleep.

SAVAGE LOVE

by Dan Savage | Twitter: @FakeDanSavage

Butt beginners

G

ay 20-year-old boy here. I want some ideas on what kind of anal toys are best for beginners like myself. I’ve already used my fingers, but I want to move up to an actual toy before moving on to an actual boy. A recommendation from you would be great! —Boy Undertaking Tushy Toys They’re not glamorous or groundbreaking, BUTT, but the old reliable butt plug is still the best bet for analplay newbies—gay, straight, or bi. They look like tiny lava lamps, they fit neatly in butts, and anal sphincters hold them firmly in place—freeing up your hands for other things, from jacking yourself off to swiping left or right to writing advice columns.

My girlfriend of six months hooked up with one of my buds. They were both drunk at a party, and I was out of town for a sports thing. I wasn’t angry when she “confessed.” I thought it was hot and said we should maybe have a threesome with the dude. I’m not interested in being with a guy, but I’d be down with a M/M/F threesome. So now my girlfriend is furious with me for not being angry. She literally just texted to say she’s not sure she can stay with me because she doesn’t want to be with a guy who wouldn’t care if she slept around on him. What the fuck am I supposed to say to that? —The Wronged Party “Bye.” I love that you use the term “cocksucker” only in a non-pejorative way.

I don’t know if you’ve said so explicitly, but I imagine your aim is to remove its negative connotation. As the owner of a cock, I think cocksucking is WONDERFUL! Therefore, cocksuckers are wonderful as well. There needs to be more cocksucking in this world! Following your example, I am trying to use the term only in its literal sense and only in a positive light. Do you have a good substitute word for a person one is not pleased with? —Changing Language Is Terrific How about “kochbrother,” CLIT? Same number of syllables, same explosive/percussive “K” sound at the start, same “er” ending—and our de-

18 | Philly Weekly | November 26 - December 2, 2015 | phillyweekly.com

mocracy (and our environment) would be a lot better off if there were more cocksuckers out there and fewer Koch brothers.

I would like some clarification. Does my situation fall into the “when it’s okay to have an affair” category or am I just looking for you to absolve me of guilt?

I got divorced a year ago, and I’m 100 percent focused on being a mom during the time my son is with me and helping him through the divorce transition.

I met a man who has been married for 20-plus years and I’m having an affair with him. He and his wife spend all of their time taking care of their adult disabled son. He said they have nothing in common but caretaking. He’s never said anything bad about the wife except they’ve grown apart and he can’t (or won’t) leave because of their son.

It works for me because he’s the most incredible lover I’ve ever had and he doesn’t bother me or demand attention when I’m busy being a mom. I do have strong feelings for him but no expectation of him leaving his wife to be with me.

Does this meet your “okay to cheat” criteria? —Loving Isn’t Always Really Simple Indeed it does, LIARS. Your situation, in fact, is a good example of the kind of affair people rarely hear about and advice professionals pretend don’t exist, i.e., the affair that saves a marriage and improves the lives and lots of everyone involved, whether directly or indirectly. Your marriage is over, of course, but you’re getting your sexual needs met by someone who doesn’t distract you from your son’s needs. And the time your lover spends with you—the intimacy, affirmation, and release you provide him— has doubtless helped to make him a kinder and less resentful companion/ partner and a better father/caretaker. Here’s hoping your lover’s wife is getting the kind of sanity-preserving intimacy, affirmation, and release she needs, too—whether sexual or in some other form. n
