12. What does your ideal Movember support team look like? Friends with mustaches, mascots, or maybe even pets?
Actually, my ideal Movember support team is what I already have: my family, my friends, and the folks that support me every year without fail. It heartens me to know that people actually expect my campaign and wholeheartedly support it. My family gets into the spirit and are very encouraging, and my friends always support my milestones with generous donations and pep talks.
13. What's the biggest challenge you've faced while growing a Movember moustache?
The biggest challenge is self doubt. We are facing a challenging economy - especially since COVID - and it's not fair to expect folks to constantly hand out donations as there are many worthy causes. I believe in the cause, though, and I do feel that this is a solid way to help steer society in a better direction.
14. Why do you think men's mental health discussions are crucial?
I think these discussions are crucial because of the nature of society's evolution. There has certainly been a lot of negativity in the way things used to be - equity is so important, and the best way to address this challenge is to go to the source. While modern gents are certainly not necessarily responsible for things being what they are (at least not all modern gents), the best way forward is to all pitch in and help society evolve to fuel the greater good. It's not easy, given how "being emotional" and "sensitive" are still looked down upon as "bad" traits for a man to have (seriously, just take a look around and you'll find that oppression still exists) - I mentioned before that it makes it challenging for men to get help (or know what the correct path might be). That's why initiatives like Movember are so important - they foster a safe and inclusive environment, which really makes us all stronger in the long run.
The first question was posed by ChatGPT, the second by Gemini, the third by Meta AI.

Had a great party for Movember last night with a group of awesome folks.
Fun was had, prizes were won, and we raised $67 for Movember - it's not much, but every but counts!

10. How has participating in Movember changed your perspective on men's health?
Honestly, I'm not sure if it has changed it that much in terms of men's health. I'm a fairly empathic person, and I have always been in touch with my feelings. I don't have a problem expressing my love for my friends and I can even care about strangers. What surprises me is more about how others view it. I see a disturbing number of people move about their lives while actively ignoring many of the warning signs around them. It breaks my heart.
11. How has your partner/family/friends reacted to your Movember moustache?
My partner is amazing. She has always thrown herself behind the cause and comes up with some very interesting ideas. The kids also really enjoy getting into the moustache spirit. Our eldest and I have always done a "serious photo", and when I met Tracey and the kids, they joined us. This year's Movember's End family photo is going to be a lot of fun.
When I started doing the AI-based questions, I did so in order not to disturb anyone. However, if you do feel a query coming on, send it to me in a private message and I'll add it to the queue!
Both questions posed by Gemini.

It has been a busy couple of days so I haven't had a chance to answer any AI-posed questions, so here are a few...
6. What fictional character’s mustache would you like to have for a day?
Yosemite Sam's, of course. How can one not want to have that stache for a day?
7. What’s your go-to mustache grooming tip that no one knows about?
I use one of the Movember moustache combs as well as a beard lotion. It's important to align and moisturize the stache if you want it to behave. Otherwise it itches like hell.
8. What’s the funniest thing you've heard or been told about your Movember mustache (or lack thereof)?
A number of years ago, I grew a moustache in honour of the late Jack Layton, then leader of the NDP. I was pretty chuffed about it until someone told me that I looked like one of those dads in Bollywood films. I mean, I'll dance and sing I suppose, but it wasn't the look I was going for.
9. If you could pick any fictional character to support your Movember campaign, who would it be?
Tony Stark, probably. I mean, he has cool facial hair and would probably donate a fair chunk of change.
(The first two questions were from Copilot. The third and fourth were from ChatGPT.
Note: As donations can be made privately, not all donations are displayed to the public.
