Cardboard Coji: Friday, January 23rd, 2026
From The Toast
The discussion centers on a light-hearted Friday morning chat about hairstyles, particularly featuring cuts from renowned stylist Chris Appleton, with humorous commentary on the perceived expense of booking such high-profile services. The hosts reflect on the week's events, acknowledging a shorter workweek due to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and share their personal experiences and excitement surrounding hair transformations.
Key Takeaways
- It's Friday, but a short week prompts existential dread about undeserved time off—are we workers or just participants in a capitalist game?
- Paying $100K for a haircut? That's not a luxury; it's a cleverly disguised self-esteem project with questionable ROI.
- Billionaires: more than just fat wallets, they're proof that money can buy happiness—or at least better haircuts.
- Netflix turned binge-watching into an Olympic sport, but their decision to go weekly has us all grappling with withdrawal symptoms.
- Is financial happiness capped at $200 million? Maybe, but isn't true wealth just surrounding yourself with well-adjusted billionaires?
