Tez is recording and having a ball laughing and entertains hisself cracking up with laughter just watching the whole disaster unfold he starts to encourage the uncle to make it better sarcastically but in turn really making it worse.

By this time dad and uncle Charlie have had about 3 beers each and working on their fourth beer in one hand and clippers in the other after uncle Charlie finishes his sentence with skills he does a little shimmy dance move which further and confirm Brandon suspicious of uncle Charlie being a little tipsy Brandon sits and leans back reluctantly as Charlie drapes a sheet over his front side to protect his clothing from falling hair debris
