"The Barber-Salon Industrial Complex" | The Midnight Citizen | Episode 276

Join Mike in the studio, where he recounts a tense haircut he recently had. Everything was fine until he suggested to the salon’s owner he install a barber pole out front to drum up new business. There was a deafening silence, and things went down hill from there. Also, petty tyrants go global, the U.S. hopes to establish a homeland for tourism, and Moe’s rebrands itself an “outlaw” in the Burrito space. Now go out there and get a little queso on your chin! “The Midnight Citizen” podcast drops every Saturday night, so be sure to, ya know…Watch The Midnight Citizen Vlog every Monday on YouTube and Substack!

I don’t know why; I guess because it was so heavily satirized, most notably by my friend Hunter Cressell, who went viral for this video he made pre-YouTube.***This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike US License.
