She's from Knoxville, Tennessee, and she's the grower of the world's longest mullet.
She's verified.
And yeah, damn, baby, she could grow grapes on that thing.
My God.
Tammy Maness.
Tammy Maness, nice to see you today.
Thank you so much for having me.
Yeah, congratulations on you got that scalp lava, baby.
You got all of it.
I've got it all fluffy today.
God.
And what, are you taking it for a walk?
Is that a kind of a sun, the way you set it up for a Sunday or is there, how
does it go throughout the week?
The, the, the hair care, how is it?
It, it, it does not frolic freely during the week, but, uh, I have my friend
with me this weekend.
I have a family get together and so we can coordinate with doing this and the,
getting it rebraided.
I have to keep it braided because otherwise, uh, by the end of the day, my tail
is dragging.
All of my tails are dragging because it's actually longer than I am.
Oh, wow.
So you've really outdone yourself.
Literally.
It's one of those things.
It's like, really?
You tried to do that?
No, just life happened.
I haven't had it.
Yeah.
Did you get forgetful?
Were you in a coma or something?
How'd you get it that long?
How long is it?
It is 68 inches long when it's fully stretched out.
I'm only 64 inches tall.
Okay.
So there you go.
You've out.
Yeah.
Wow.
That's so long.
And do you get scared?
Like you, cause you, it must be a little risk in there.
Like if you, you know, a mistake and you're a box fan or something like that
and your, your, your afternoon could change.
How are you being a neck brace?
I, I, I know where my tail is.
I'm pretty tail aware now.
Okay.
So, and like I said, it stays in a braid.
So, and where I work, I usually wear a back brace because I'm old and it tames
the tail.
Okay.
And when I sit down, it's funny.
My nurse manager, she actually says, I laugh every time you sit down to draw
blood because I automatically just throw it over my left leg.
Oh yeah.
It's like, I know where it is.
That's beautiful.
Yeah.
There's something lovely about that.
You know, does it almost, does it almost feel like a pet?
Does it almost feel like a friend or something?
Oh no, not a bit.
It's just, it's something I've had for 33 and a half years now.
So yes, it is a part of me.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
I can imagine.
Well, you know, I have a, a, a, a, just a starter kit going on the, on the back
of my head, but I, um.
Hey dude, you got a mullet.
You're good.
Well, we'll see.
You know, I, it feels like me once my hair got longer.
It just felt like me.
It was like, oh, this is where I'm always supposed to be.
This is the way I've, my head is supposed to have been.
Do you feel most comfortable with your hair like that?
Like, would you feel very out of sorts?
You think if you had to take it off?
I saw something once and somebody had just come up and cut somebody's hair and
it made me nauseous.
Wow.
I actually had a tail prior to this one, uh, back in 80, 89.
Mm-hmm.
And I cut it and it was only, you know, probably about five or six inches,
which I still have.
Oh yeah.
And I immediately felt this angst.
Mm-hmm.
I was like, okay, that ain't gonna happen.
So February 9th, 1990, I started growing this one.
So yes, it has a birthday.
Yeah.
So how old is it?
It is 33 and a half.
It'll be 34 years, February the 9th.
Praise God, baby.
And if we plucked a strand of it or a cord of it and we tested it, what would
it test positive for?
Because you got a long...
Well, I always told, I told everybody I couldn't do drugs in my life because
you can literally do a drug test on hair.
And I would have been in so much trouble.
But I'd be a good girl.
I don't do that stuff.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah.
Damn, boy.
Because yeah, I think, yeah, there's just so much of it.
You'd really be able to just kind of, you could probably find the exact Friday
night that you smoked a joint if somebody wanted to get real particular on
there.
What does your mother think of it?
What does she think of your long hair and your world record now?
Because you're in the record books, aren't you?
Yes.
I actually have my beautiful Guinness World Record book here.
Yeah, that's so cool.
And I, yeah, I said I've...
Show me your page.
Let me see what page you're on.
Wow, shorty.
That's awesome.
That'd be me.
But back to my mom, I said, somebody made a negative comment once and they said,
oh, they must be so proud.
And I said, well, actually, my mom's probably up in heaven looking down
laughing her butt off now.
Yeah.
My mom passed away a few years ago.
But yeah, I think she would think it was hilarious.
Oh, that's cool.
Yeah.
She's probably getting a good laugh out of it.
Oh, yeah.
She'd probably be like, well, it's just your hair.
I'm like, yes, mother.
No, people, what are some of the nicknames?
Are you got like maybe, I was trying to think of something, maybe Billy Ray Ponzel
maybe?
Or I'm trying to think of.
I like that one.
Really, very fun though.
I think I probably started mine before he had his.
No, it's just the tale.
Everybody knows me for my hair.
I mean, people can't remember my name.
But they go, I want the one with the long hair.
Yeah.
And it was so funny because when I was on deployment with the state guard
during COVID, I was in uniform all the time.
So after I got off COVID and I got hired at the health department, I didn't
have to have my hair tucked anymore because I didn't in uniform.
And the people were just like, you've always had that?
I said, yeah, I just knew how to hide it.
Wow.
Yeah, you never know what people are hiding these days, boys.
You never know.
Oh, yeah.
I work in public health.
Tell me about it.
God damn.
Yeah, dude.
You never know.
Somebody will show you a mole that they can piss out of.
You know, you just know.
It's just a weird world out there.
I tell people I could strangle you and they'd be looking for a rope, okay?
Yeah.
Now we're talking, huh?
You ever done any light crime with it, Tammy?
Oh, no.
I mean, it's like, you know, with all the people out in the world, you know,
the hair and everything.
Nah, I don't need that career.
Yeah.
What about any long-term plans with it?
Have you considered maybe doing locks for love or locks for lust even?
Hell, I'd buy a damn half a foot and make a damn orgy towel out of it or
something.
I mean, I bet you got to realize the thread.
That's what I was saying.
Somebody said, you know about OnlyFans?
You know, feed hair?
I said, no, no, no.
I like to keep a decent image.
No, I've had people say, so are you going to cut it now?
And I told the news person, I said, let me think about that.
No.
Yeah.
I'm very blessed because not everybody's hair will grow long.
That's a great point.
That's a great point.
So you're almost doing it for the people that can't do it even.
There's a little bit of that in there.
Sure, sure.
We'll go with that.
And now when you say if you go to heaven one day, right, and you, what, where,
does the hair go with it?
Is it?
I hope somebody's up there that can braid it for me.
Oh, yeah.
Because I can't do it by myself.
I have to have somebody do it for me.
Now, that's kind of interesting.
You have to have a partner, really, to get to keep that hair well.
Yep.
And she's been in some of the videos that Guinness put out because they did a
whole photo shoot, which was really cool.
Yeah.
And they've done different videos.
And I found a lot of them online.
I mean, because this story got out, which was amazing.
And, I mean, some of the people's got the video.
So my brother, who is more technological than I am, he actually filmed a whole
thing where she took it down.
And he did it in fast motion.
And then we did a whole time of braiding it because it takes her about an hour
and 15 minutes.
To braid it.
By the time she, yeah, by the time she braids it and rewraps it, because I put
a little crochet floss at the top.
Keep from getting so fuzzy.
Put little beads on the end.
Oh, damn.
I think you're getting it ready for church, huh?
And what kind of salve do you put in it?
Do you put any salve or something in it?
What do you guys do over there?
Well, you know, I joked with somebody because they asked, are you getting any
hair care product from us?
I said, no, but I'm a ready-made commercial for main and tail hair and
conditioner.
Come on.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I bet half the Preakness gets fucking pissed if you walk by.
They get real.
Them ponies will show out, I'm sure.
Yeah.
It's actually a pretty good product, but I've used several things through the
years, but I like stuff with Argonne.
I have shampoo, condition, and then a leave-in conditioner right before she braids
it.
Oh, that's beautiful.
God, that's beautiful.
And it gets rebraided about once a week.
My, it sounds damn majestic.
Really, it sounds royal.
It really does.
I don't know.
I mean, if you see it, it comes all the way up.
Oh, yeah, God.
Oh, yeah.
I'm like, if I could get you, it's kind of hard to show the whole thing.
Oh, baby, I get it, baby.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, it kind of fluffy.
You tell the Irish in me there with the reddish.
Oh, y'all.
Oh, sure, y'all.
I've had people say, that's impressive.
I'm like, okay, thank you.
Now, you ever caught a lover on it?
You ever put a little chicken liver on the end of it or a butterscotch or
something and just kind of you, you got a little toe line for you there?
I know.
No, but I'm always careful from around cats because they think it's a building
cat toy right there.
Oh, they do.
They don't have a heart, do they?
It's something I've dealt with, so I know how to deal with it.
But, yeah, it's a conversation piece.
Yeah.
Well, it sure is.
Well, it brought us here to talk to you today, Tammy, and I just want to say
thanks, yeah, A, for just doing something unique.
You know, it's fun to do something unique in your life, and people don't
realize there's all types of ways to find some way to be creative or to be
expressive, and I think that's just such a nice reminder.
Hey, I'm just who I am.
That's what I tell everybody.
I said, I just try to be nice, do my job well, and I had one negative comment,
well, one.
I had several when all this came out, and people were making some negative
comments, and I'm like, they're talking about the state of the world.
I said, yes, I'm in health care.
I understand how the world is.
If this gives somebody something to smile at, laugh about, make fun of,
something different.
Oh, yeah.
If it takes your mind off of stuff going bad, that's fine with me.
I'm good with it.
Oh, you could stand by any river in Louisiana, and you could charge a nickel
every time somebody want to rope swing off into that thing, honey.
I'll say that.
I wish I could make a nickel off every time somebody made a comment about it.
I really do.
No, that's fair.
Hey, look, that hair tariff, baby, look, that counts.
Is there a meetup?
Is there a meetup for the Guinness World Record holders?
Do you guys do an event?
Do you get to meet the guy with the longest tooth or the sharpest elbow or the,
you know, the guy who's been underwater for a month or whatever?
Like, is there a, you know, is there any sort of-
Not that I know of.
I know there's mullet meetups.
Yeah.
People have different meetups for that, and I am-
That's for drugs.
So let's just call that what it is.
I might have to turn that job down as a judge next year I was asked about.
Well, look, I'll just say, and the ones at the rest area are, I'll tell you
that.
That's for sure.
God bless those people.
Yeah, we just wanted to say, hey, Tammy, you know, we know there's been a lot
of hype and hoopla, and I've gotten tagged in so many pictures wanting us to
say hey to you and get to spend a little bit of time.
So I just want to say congratulations.
Yeah, congratulations, and thank you so much for chatting with us today.
We appreciate you.
I know my brother's thrilled, because when I first got the invitation, we
couldn't hook up, and my brother was checking on my social media.
I actually gave him the passwords, and he goes, oh, my God, I'm missing the
invitation from Phil Bond.
I'm like, I don't have time to check all this stuff, so I was looking you up,
and I'm like, oh, crap, all those people.
I'm going to be the most boring interview he's ever done, and he wants to talk
to me.
Okay.
No, you're great.
You're doing something unique.
You know, I could, you know, I don't have anything, you know, I'm not going to
say I've never been the owner of anything long, but, you know, I never really,
you know, God gave me what he gave me, you know, and that's fine with us.
Somebody said, you know, other people have long hair.
I said, I know people who can sing, but they're not on the voice.
It's just how lucky you get with what you got.
Yeah.
I'm thankful, and I'm happy.
Amen.
I like your attitude.
Happy holidays to you, Tammy, and thank you for your time tonight.
You as well.
Keep your mullet going.
Keep it trim.
You're good.
Yeah, I'll see y'all.
Maybe I might see you in the mullet streets next year.
All right.
Hey, take care.
Thank you so much.
You too, darling.
Bye-bye.
Bye.
Thank you, Tammy.
Not often you get to talk to just a real vine of society right there.
Just one of, God, just one of Mother Nature's damn, just a fern of beauty.
Oh, that's beautiful, that tail, boy.
You hang that thing out a window at night, boy.
Seven raccoons will hump it, baby.
God, praise God.
Thank you, Tammy.
Thank you.
