The hilarious mullet haircut banter starts at the 2:21 mark….
ROBERT KELLY: The mullet is being asked for dozens and dozens of times. Hairdressers are saying it's ALL they're getting asked for. WALLACE CHAPMAN: Have you seen Tony Blair lately? ROBERT KELLY: Yeah, is that a mullet though? CHRIS GALLIVAN: No. WALLACE CHAPMAN: It is, it is a mullet. CHRIS GALLIVAN: Serious? WALLACE CHAPMAN: It's quite a---, yeah. ROBERT KELLY: I think--- WALLACE CHAPMAN: Go and have a look. Google "Tony Blair", look,--- CHRIS GALLIVAN: Oh, I don't know if I WANT to. WALLACE CHAPMAN: ---look, look, ha ha! ROBERT KELLY: He does look like he's gone through quite a major THIRD ACT, doesn't he. ALI JONES: I'm googling now. CHRIS GALLIVAN: An existential crisis. WALLACE CHAPMAN: It's quite extraordinary! CHRIS GALLIVAN: I've been polite and turned my phone off, so I can't do it. ALI JONES: Here's the heading from CNN: "Tony Blair has a mullet now and it's disturbing Britain". WALLACE CHAPMAN: There you go! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! CHRIS GALLIVAN: So they didn't get him on crimes against humanity for Iraq--- WALLACE CHAPMAN: Ha ha! ROBERT KELLY: Hrrrmmmm. CHRIS GALLIVAN: ---but they're gonna get him for crimes against fashion and hair. ROBERT KELLY: A-a-a-a-and as a public broadcaster I'm not touching that with a pole. Aaaaahhhmm, so, [awkward laugh] hm, hm, moving on, ahhhh, we have all SORTS of things going on, but no one's actually ASKING for a mullet. So people are staying away from the word itself, but are asking for something like it, and one of the hairdressers said that, um, people are coming in and asking for a cross between a nineties shag and the harder eighties mullet. Which I have to admit is a nomenclature that escapes me. Aaaaahhmm….
