Who's the new member of the show is over here?

I don't even know. Do we have M&M in the studio?

What?

Oh, yeah. Just fall back on that joke.

Slim shady joke.

All right, 833-730-6377.

What was your mid-life crisis?

We're going to take falls.

When did you know you were going through a mid-life crisis?

Because our partner right here, CNU, you have now platinum blonde hair.

I look good, man.

In the words of a great wrapping poet on my mama, on my hood, I look fly.

I look good.

Okay.

Yes, I did not tell the show that I was going to bleach my hair.

I did throw it up at the morning mess.

At the actual JD, you can vote however you want.

And a lot of the percentage right now is just waiting for what you guys

to say.

Because again, I did not tell the show I was doing this.

I didn't want to tell the show I was doing this.

And before you guys say anything, I just want you to know that I woke

up out the bed and turned my swag on.

Now you can go.

Now, who gives you a harder time nowadays?

Who?

Is it me or CNN nowadays?

Oh, CNN is cooking me lately.

So what was to you?

Yeah, you're used to me.

But I feel like you and sis over here have this thing.

So I'm going to go first and then we'll...

I think everyone's more waiting for CNN.

She'd be roasting you on this show.

I would say JD, if someone was like, give him a number between one and ten before this platinum blonde

how I say JD is a probably solid seven.

It's a solid seven.

I don't know how you take that.

A little but disrespect because it's like if you gave me a C.

So I don't like that.

Now with this new look, what is JD?

Is it more than the seven or is it the above seven?

Ladies and gentlemen, my guy, my guy here, John Daniel, aka JD.

I give you now JD, a solid eight brother.

Eight's.

Yes.

I think the glow up is real with JD.

I like the look, man.

God is good.

I like the look.

Thank you, man.

Yeah, as soon as I saw like, Dan, this looks good on JD and then I went straight to the comment

and everyone was, wait, I can't wait to see what Joey and CNN say about this.

Look, I think it looks good, bro.

Thank you, man.

The comments always were at first.

I don't hate it.

And I was like, okay, because initially I think people just have something to say to me.

But they just said, I don't hate it.

And then they said what they needed to say.

My man's outside, bro.

Thank you.

Bring hates to see him coming.

This is your look.

I hope you keep it.

I think it fits you.

I think it just all comes together.

You didn't do the beard, which I'm glad you did it.

And it just looks like the swaggoo is up for you.

So I'm giving you a seven to an eight now.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is now CNN's turn.

I don't know.

Me and Sis have not discussed what we thought about JD.

We're like, we're saving this when we go live.

So here we go.

What would she say?

Drumroll?

Put it down.

See, let's be honest.

What do you think about this middle-life crisis with JD?

So I have a few questions.

Can we do this rapid-fire style?

I hate it because she did this.

She was like, I have notes already.

I'm like, man, I just pulled you guys this one minute.

Posts up the picture.

She did it in the grimaces.

I got notes.

I got my notes up already.

I got the notes.

All right, okay.

So I originally, before we came up with what the premise

of this actual topic was going to be,

my first question was, are you okay?

A therapy is going, okay.

I'm in therapy.

Were you stable when you made this decision?

Yes.

Okay, is this a mid-life crisis thing

because you're pushing 40?

No.

I'm 38.

I have two years to go.

And do you know your hair could fall out

because you bleached the hell out of it?

Yes.

And you wanted to take that risk?

No.

Okay.

You look even more like your mom.

That's a statement.

Ah!

Hey, Kim.

And overall, I like it.

I don't think you look fast.

Okay, you do like it.

I do like it.

All right, what do you think is number?

I give them a seven.

He's not one eight.

What do you give JD now?

I would give them an eight.

Eight, right?

Solid eight.

Like a strong eight.

Like a strong eight.

Yeah, I'll be honest, guys.

I didn't see this coming.

And I will tell you, shout out to my girl, Emily,

the hairstylist that did this in Scottsdale.

The first go-round when she just bleached it,

I did not like it, guys.

When I like saddance,

she goes, you'll be honest with me, right?

And I was told that when women go get their hair cut,

they're just, they don't tell the person that they like it.

They go to their car and they cry.

That's what I was told.

Oh, that makes sense.

Yep.

Yeah, they call their best friend or so and be like,

I hate it.

Yeah, no, if my hair gets messed up,

I won't say anything.

I just go to my car cry and I'll call my mom.

I don't understand that because guys as barbers,

you know, like you go to our barber,

we just tell them to be like, hey,

fix that, go shorter.

Yeah.

Way too short.

Yes.

Next time, don't do that.

So the first go-round,

I made like six jokes to myself.

And I'm like, you got to change it.

I was like, this is not going to work

because it was more gray.

And I was like, you got to make this blonder.

I do like that gray.

I put a lot of them gray.

That gray thing.

I do like that.

Sienna is right.

I bleached my hair for years.

If not a decade of it,

my hair was gone.

You fry your hair.

Yeah, I'm only going to do this maybe a couple times

because it was just too expensive.

And it has nothing to do with the fact

of what I was charged.

Whoever needs to get their money,

get their money,

but it was way too much.

It was like 200 bucks.

Mid-life crisis.

What was yours, JD's going through his

as he's perfectly 40 this weekend.

It's crazy.

I'm not turning 40 this weekend.

I have two solid years of my 30s left.

Dude, it's already in the mid-March.

Didn't we just say Happy New Year?

Yeah, pretty much.

It's going to go like that.

Okay, well then I know my own mortality.

And I know it's all getting over.

So I might as well cook myself.

Love it.

He's going to be bald like me.

I hope not.

Oh my lord.

We'll have two bald baddies.

Yeah, bald baddies.

There you go.

Sienna and the bald baddies.

The name of the new show is going to happen in two years.

Sienna and the bald baddies, so.

All right, 833.

730.

6377.

What was your mid-life crisis?

Is our pal JD is going through it.

Share your stories.

And we're going to put it up the poll.

So there should be some kind of poll up.

It's up right now.

You can just go fry yay or fry nay.

What he says he's already getting to us.

Do you see that?

What is that?

What bleach?

The bleach.

The bleach.

Seeping on in.
