Beard or No Beard
Here's a chance for YOU -- the DriveTime audience -- to voice your opinion. Hot on the heels of this week's TGIF shoot, we'll be shooting a segment this afternoon that I'm calling "Beard Or No Beard."
We're going to weigh the pros and cons of my beard-dom, so chime in today if you'd like your vote to matter.
And if anyone has Howie Mandel's contact info, please pass along!

It isn't so warm in Boston that you need to shave the beard, is it? It's only April.
Are we allowed to weigh in on this week's Pompador too, or is that a segment for another day?
Well, it's not as if it qualifies as a beard, is it? It's too patchy for that. Shave it, please. You've got a great chin.
Continue alternating... keeps it fresh.
And anyway, seems like Sonia's opinion is the only one that really counts.
Well, at least that's the way it would be in my household.

I would like to start 'The Banker' fund for this segment. I'll toss in $20 to shave.

Whatever is comfortable for you works.
How about leaving only half of the face bearded? :)
I'm being silly.
Whatever you decide should be fine.
Hmmm... tough call.
Are you tired of it? Is Sonia tired of it?
I just started checking out your vlog... so I am still working back to the without experience.
Now, on the Pompadour...
I think the only answer is the Fu Manchu. You can't go wrong.
Love the vlog! I heard about it from Salon's Video Dog, and thanks to Bloglines, I'll never miss another new episode.
Embrace the Fu!
Love the logo! I vote for the beard -- patchy or no.
no beard! beardlessness makes you look younger
If you are going to do the beard, go all the way.
Here is Mr. Stanton's answer.
If you can't match that, then you better just give it up and shave it off.
BEARD
Ravi & Sonia,
Great Blog!
It was so nice to see you dressed in spring clothing. I am in Louisiana and seeing you bundled in scarves, coats, and gloves made me feel sorry for you....:-)
I did enjoy this blog it was very different and I liked the head from side coming in, very funny!
Keep up the good work,
P.S. I like the Beard!!!!!!!
i would like to see a half-beard - like full beard on the left side and no beard on the right side. eh?
does the technology even exist?
dens, I think maybe P.T. Barnum had some of that technology.
I'm putting my foot down on this one -I most emphatically vote, let it resound throughout the heavens and the earth from afar, for what is definitely positively and absolutely the most obvious choice: "No Beard." Or maybe: "Beard." I'm not sure which. (Haven't quite made my up my mind yet.)
I don't have a strong opinion one way or the other, but I'm with Joe C, who said (above) alternating would keep it fresh, but it should really be Sonia's call.
Here are some random ideas I came up with (Not that your show is lacking in any way!):
* Put a bobblehead doll in the back window so viewers can get a better sense of the depth of the potholes.
* Put a second cam trained on the instrument panel and use it as an inset in the picture.
* Alternately, point a second camera out the windshield.
* A special DriveTime DriveThru episode where you first go to a drive-thru ATM and then to drive-thru fast food places. (Perhaps you could interview the Super-Size Me guy while eating fries...although he lives in NYC, I think)
* Drive a pizza delivery guy around while he works (Split the tips!)
* Interview long-time Boston rocker Bill Janowitz (Buffalo Tom, and Crown Victoria) about his day job as a real estate agent in Lexington. You could drive around and look at million dollar split-levels with him (as you watch his "tail lights fade to black").
let the damn thing grow, for the sake of all those incapable of growing full beards.
Beard.
Excellent podcast, keep up the good work.

NO BEARD
Hi Ravi and Sonia. I live in Birmingham, UK and just cant help but tune in to Drivetime every episode. Its like a mini real life soap opera. I have no idea of who you guys are but always wonder how you are doing as im waiting for the next episode to download. Keep up the good work - DT is a great 10 minutes of entertainment. Anyway onto the reason why im leaving this message - I started watching DT around episode 7 or something like that and have always been used to Ravi with a beard. I checked episode 1/2 and it just didnt seem like the Ravi i know, without the beard Ravi seems much younger and I guess would appeal to the women more, however with the beard seems more authoritive and distinguished, for that I have to vote Keep the Beard.
Sonia should definitely have a major say. My wife told me not to shave when I wanted to, "because I had a beard when I married her." I had to go back to our wedding pictures to point out that I did not have a beard at that time!
