Josh
Martin I ain't never played one of these.
Pat
He tried to paddle to San Diego and a wave took him out to sea and he washed up on the beach at Waikik. He's the only illegal Mexican in Honolulu. He's only been here 20 minutes and found him a roofing job to do. Yeah, they don't know if they gonna run him off or if they're gonna let him stay. But it's looking good cause they're already calling Jose.
Chick
Nice jazz chords there.
Bob
Wow.
Chick
If you missed something yesterday, maybe you'll hear it now. This is Bob and Tom Extra.
Dennis
A woman receiving a routine earwax removal experienced a highly unexpected reaction, an orgasm triggered by the procedure.
Chick
Oh yeah.
Dennis
The woman wrote to a columnist by the name of Jessica Stoia at Slate saying, I am a straight woman in my early 30s and I've always struggled to orgasm. Recently, I was at the doctor and she flushed my ears with water. I was startled by how deeply good it felt and I unexpectedly orgasmed.
Josh
I don't believe this.
Dennis
The woman said she was so embarrassed and confused by the experience, asking, is something wrong with my body? Well, Josh, Ms. Stoia responded that the ear is, quote, definitely an erogenous zone. As the vagus or vagus nerve, which.
Chick
Let'S go with vagis in this case.
Dennis
Passes through the ear, has been known to be associated with orgasm. She does say, though, rather than risk injury, that the woman contact her doctor and discuss the situation in order to learn how to safely stimulate her ear.
Josh
I think it just felt real good.
Chick
Yeah, nice place to kiss back there and tickle, but yeah, not an orgasm. How did the esthetician feel? Did she.
Bob
You think there are ladies out there who think they've had an orgasm but actually haven't had orgasm because they don't.
Chick
Really know what it is?
Dennis
Did you just say all of them? Oh boy.
Bob
I mean this. Okay, this is making the leap that we care if they have orgasm.
Chick
So I, I googled the word eargasm a second ago when you and I, I found this and I have not read this before, so give me a break here. It says a doctor on TikTok. Okay, already warning physician on TikTok. He's offering an explanation as to the so called eargasm.
Dennis
All right.
Chick
Dr. Karan. Raj. Raj. It's. I don't know if that's a man or woman. K A R A N said. Again, it's of the. Is it pronounced vagus? Vagus.
Bob
Vagus.
Chick
It is the vagus nerve. The vagus nerve extends into.
Bob
It also makes you want to gamble.
Chick
Uh huh. It can elicit a calming and euphoric effect similar to an orgasm. He says it's very likely the erectile tissues in your ears engorge, meaning that eargasms may be a response to swelling in the ear canal. The doctor. Okay, now I'm done. The doctor describes them as quote unquote ear boners.
Bob
Really?
Chick
Do you want to go see this guy or lady? I don't know that.
Bob
It seems to me you have an ear boner.
Chick
I have a strap on Q tip for you.
Bob
I'm going to give it to you in the ear.
Chick
It's pegging but slightly smaller.
Bob
Oh goodness.
Dennis
Do you like to have your ears licked?
Josh
Oh yeah, I'm fine with it.
Chick
Ears are cool.
Josh
Yeah, I know some people can't stand it.
Chick
My dogs like it a lot.
Bob
You lick your dogs?
Chick
Oh, no, no, just, I mean just petting them.
Dennis
I don't. I don't like my ears licked. Neck, neck's okay, but not my ear. Of course. Pat, I'm not dead inside.
Pat
Now, not to be too personal, but is there ways you could achieve without being below.
Dennis
Me?
Pat
Yeah, like.
Chick
Well, this woman, this woman allegedly achieved with her. Her ear.
Dennis
There are Ways. Yes.
Chick
That's dangerous. That's dangerous, though, because you can get hearing aids. That wasn't bad at all.
Josh
You know, it's nice to hear somebody else do an age joke. Ye.
Bob
It's time to laugh.
Josh
You guys always leave it up to me to do them.
Bob
It's time to laugh.
Chick
Josh and Tom, thank you very much. I've joined the club of really horrific. Horrific. Not very fun. Is there an ear muff joke? There is that I'm missing? How do we. How do we get to that? Ear muffs. One of the most uncomfortable forms of. Oh, the. The earmuffs with that metal band.
Dennis
Well, they've come a long way. They don't have the metal band anymore.
Josh
Metal band.
Dennis
Oh, my God.
Bob
They don't make those anymore.
Chick
Yeah. There was the 1960s metal band. You'd put. They look ridiculous.
Dennis
They smack you in the head when you.
Josh
The kind that go behind the head and.
Dennis
Oh, those are nice.
Josh
Amazing.
Chick
Yeah. No, the ones that they used to go. It was like wearing a pair of headphones.
Tom
Yeah.
Josh
The old school.
Chick
And there was this metal band that when you'd remove it, it would rip your hair out. That's probably why I'm bald.
Josh
Oh, yes.
Chick
So anyways, work on that ear muff setup.
Bob
When's the last time you. You had a pair of earmuffs on?
Chick
It's probably been, I'd rather have my ears freeze than we're earmuffs. They look so ridiculous.
Bob
Well, they put you off earmuffs. That's why you stopped wearing them, right?
Chick
Yeah, they look ridiculous. Wear a hat.
Josh
Oh, there's some cool new ones.
Bob
Yeah, absolutely.
Chick
There are cool earmuffs.
Josh
Yeah, man. I bet you I think would honestly, like, they go. They sit back on the. The occipitals, and then they come over on the ears, and they're just awesome. But I'm with you. I also wear a hat.
Chick
Looks like those guys that put their glasses on backwards when they're kind of having lunch. That bugs me. Yeah.
Josh
I don't. Boy, I don't know anybody who does.
Chick
I'd be afraid they'd fall off. I'd forget where they were. I'd be walking around looking for my glasses.
Bob
Out of all the things that bug you, what bugs you the most? Can you narrow it down to just one thing?
Chick
Wearing your hat backwards. That really bothers me.
Bob
Really?
Chick
Yeah.
Bob
All right, what about your.
Dennis
What if you're doing something?
Bob
What if you're pants?
Chick
Yeah. If you're catching in a baseball game or you're involved in some kind of intimate encounter. It might be okay. Otherwise looks ridiculous. Leaves that ridiculous rainbow tan line. Romantic encounter.
Dennis
Rome. Oh, wait a minute.
Chick
Rainbow.
Josh
Don't you take your hat off so you. Because don't I kind of want my hair pulled while I'm doing.
Chick
Yeah.
Josh
Yeah.
Bob
Is that. Is that right?
Josh
At least when my hair grabbed.
Chick
That's getting harder and harder.
Josh
Yeah, it is.
Dennis
Yeah.
Bob
That's what. That's what he yells.
Chick
He's got hair all over.
Bob
Getting harder and harder.
Josh
I'm sorry.
Chick
I shouldn't have brought that up. Let's. Let's just get back to the news desk where we have the Silac Insurance news desk with Christy Lee. What's happening? Over.
Dennis
Scientists working in Antarctica have detected strange radio signals coming from deep within the ice. John.
Josh
Fascinating. This stuff is amazing.
Bob
You know what it sounds like. Hey, good. Good morning. Welcome.
Chick
It's awful cold out here. The weather in and so once again it's going to be below, below zero down here if we get us the hell out of here.
Bob
Get those booties on.
Dennis
The pulses don't match any known natural or human made sources leaving researchers puzzled.
Chick
So it sounds like disco.
Dennis
The discovery may shed light on unexplored geological processes or reveal new physics altogether. Or aliens.
Josh
Yeah. Yeah. Who's to say?
Dennis
The new team is now analyzing more data to understand the signal's origin.
Chick
Wow. Whoa. I say be careful.
Josh
Yes.
Chick
It could be some huge monster down there.
Dennis
Exactly.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
I've seen that movie.
Bob
Really huge monster. And you mistook it for a documentary.
Chick
No, I'm just saying there's some. If there's some sound they're detecting for the first time emerging from the center of the earth.
Josh
Oh sure. We got. That's in the mountain of. In the mountains of madness or the thing.
Bob
What he said was that might be a monster down there. I've seen that movie.
Josh
Are you guys familiar with this new fad of going to places like Antarctica and getting ice and then bringing it back? For your part it's like, oh yeah, we got this natural frozen ice.
Pat
Yeah.
Bob
What?
Josh
Yeah, it's like it's kind of a thing that's going on. And I was recently reading the scientists are like please don't do that. That ice is filled with prehistoric bacteria that our bodies have no idea what to do with.
Dennis
Yeah.
Josh
You can get so sick.
Bob
Is that true?
Josh
Yes.
Bob
Yeah, it's amazing.
Josh
What that's in movies. What do they do that. There's even a commercial now where a guy goes and he gets this block of ice and he's. It's like a beer or whiskey commercial. And he takes it back to his party so that he can serve it and he chips it up and. But they're like, don't take part in this.
Chick
Oh, that's really interesting.
Dennis
It makes sense though. I mean. Yeah, it never warms up enough to kill any.
Josh
Yeah, we don't know. They don't know why they used to.
Chick
Kill me was this. This was not that long ago people would get off airplanes coming back from Florida with big bags of oranges. Like really? You know they have those at the grocery store.
Bob
Well, but they're not fresh.
Dennis
Fresh fresh.
Chick
Maybe a couple days old. That really can't tell the difference.
Josh
Some of that stuff's fun. Go to Vidalia, get the onions there. Yeah, yeah.
Bob
Go to California, get the dates and the figs. Yeah, no, but you.
Josh
But you can also just go to Trader Joe's. Delicious.
Chick
Love that place.
Dennis
Me too.
Chick
Nicest employees on earth.
Dennis
Yep. A new global sleep study confirms what many of us already know. Most people hit the snooze button despite experts warning against it.
Josh
I'm in the minority. I never do it.
Dennis
You never do?
Josh
No, I hate the snooze.
Bob
I never set an alarm. Well, I always set an alarm, but I never use it. I always am up before the alarm goes off. And then I met a guy who used to work with us. He has like nine different alarms. Yeah, like 1, 2, 3, 4.
Dennis
What's that guy right there? How many alarms do you have, Oscar?
Josh
I have.
Pat
Well, I have.
Bob
Oh my goodness.
Pat
355, 4, 405, 407, 410, 4.
Josh
I mean, how's that last hour even enjoyable?
Pat
Well, these are all emergency in case I sleep through the initial.
Chick
Okay.
Bob
It still doesn't make it right.
Pat
Those are backups.
Dennis
Researchers analyze.
Chick
Excuse me for once. Is the initial alarm also on that phone?
Josh
Yeah.
Pat
3:55.
Dennis
Oh.
Chick
Do you have another alarm clock across the room or something?
Pat
No, no.
Dennis
What time do you normally get up? If it's set at 3:55.
Pat
3:55.
Dennis
Okay. You usually do.
Pat
Actually, unfortunately, I wake up around 3:52 and I'm disappointed every morning that I could have gotten three more minutes.
Josh
Oh, I like it. I want to wake up before my alarm so I don't have to hear it.
Chick
I hate. What is the sound of yours.
Pat
Each one is a different tone.
Chick
No kidding.
Pat
Well, I'm deaf in one ear, so.
Josh
Like if I'm sleeping, is there anyone.
Pat
Different if my good ears down. What I have to. Yeah, so. But my ex wife was horrible with the alarm, like the snooze?
Dennis
Yeah.
Pat
We'd be going to bed. I'm like, what time do you need to get up in the morning, hon? I'd be setting the alarm. She's like, six thirty. I'm like, what time do you want me to set the alarm for? She's like, 4:15.
Josh
Yeah.
Pat
Oh, that's great. That's gonna be a lot of fun. Right before our divorce, I don't know if you guys know this, I went and got a snooze bar surgically installed in my chest just for her. That way, when we were making love, he'd start to go off too soon. She could just hit it. He'd reset. I give her another nine minutes. What do you think about that?
Chick
Very nice.
Dennis
Researchers in our story.
Chick
I'm sorry, the gist of this story is what? That you're not supposed to hit the snooze button?
Dennis
Yes. They analyzed over 3 million nights of sleep from 21,000 users and found that the snooze button was used on 55% of nights, with the average snooze lasting 11 minutes. Now, on the iPhone, the average snooze is nine minutes, which I always. I hate odd numbers. I don't know, but it drives me crazy.
Chick
Here's the dumbest thing that I'll do. Okay. If I'll get up, I mean, I'll hit the snooze button, then be like, I'm going to get up. Then I forget that I've hit the snooze button. I'm in the shower.
Dennis
Yeah.
Chick
I hear it go off. Oh, God, here we go.
Bob
I bet that's a nice and understanding process.
Pat
You have terror come over you, right?
Chick
Yeah.
Pat
As you know, you're about to wake up half the house.
Chick
Yeah. Yeah.
Dennis
So nearly half of all participants hit snooze on more than 80% of mornings, averaging 20 minutes of additional dozing. The lead author, Rebecca Robbins, noted snoozing can disrupt vital stages of sleep and recommend setting a single alarm for the latest possible wake up time and rising immediately.
Chick
I don't buy this.
Josh
That's what I do.
Chick
But sometimes that extra 10 minutes of sleep, I can have a full novel length dream.
Dennis
I agree.
Chick
Some great adventure.
Bob
Are you still. Your contention is you can pick what you dream?
Chick
No, my contention. No, no. My contention is I can get up and pee, go back to sleep and pick up the dream.
Bob
I don't know about that.
Josh
I've done that before. I can't do it every time.
Bob
There's no way we can.
Chick
There's a general theme to the dreams anyway.
Bob
Is it sex? It's sex, isn't it? It might be having sex with a woman. Yeah, I bet it is. What's that like, by the way?
Chick
I've named it the movie Diamond Cutters Are Forever. James Bond feel a.00,12.
Bob
I bet that don't you bet that's really something when it's angry?
Josh
I don't know. I bet it's red.
Bob
I bet it's really, really red.
Chick
It is. It is not. But thank you. Thank you for underscoring me.
Dennis
I turned my alarm off this morning, though, and fell back asleep and then woke up like 10 minutes later.
Pat
That's why I have all those extras.
Dennis
That I usually don't do that freaked me out. But that's where the grandfather clock comes in because it started making noise and it woke me up.
Josh
I just got a letter handed to me that says, hey, show I the Bob and Tom show. I was just wondering if you have gotten to tell Josh the great joke involving the grandfather clock.
Dennis
Oh, you haven't heard that yet.
Chick
Tom has it. And this is your.
Bob
You said we're gonna do it every day.
Chick
You forgot.
Dennis
I have a grandfather clock outside in the hallway in the main entryway of the house. And it is close to our bedroom. But Tom, I was just saying I.
Chick
Don'T care for the grandfather.
Dennis
Right.
Josh
I remember one morning last week we were talking about how you don't like them.
Dennis
And when we got married, my husband had a grandmother clock which we passed along to his son. And I didn't. He didn't know that I know there.
Chick
Was such a thing as a grandmother clock. I know in the world of equal rights, you get to have your own clock and your own orgasm, allegedly. Thank you. Dear Bob and Tom show, writes Craig. Hi, Craig, who's now officially in the letter writing hall of fame here on the program. You were discussing the difference between a grandfather and a grandmother clock. I believe the grandmother clock is like the grandfather clock just without the dong. Ah, I like it. There's a lot going on there. That is a. The economy of words in that joke. And really well done.
Dennis
Do you have a clock by your bed, that light that you can see in the minute you wake up? Because I don't.
Chick
I have a. I found one that has. It emits almost no light. It just looks like a little piece of wood.
Dennis
Yeah.
Chick
And I used to have what I loved. I had that thing that projected onto the ceiling. I have that. Yeah.
Bob
What if it's a little Piece of wood with just sticky numbers on it. And he thinks it's a clock.
Dennis
And it always says the same time.
Bob
It's always the same. You know, it's really weird. I get up every morning at 3:32. It's unbelievable.
Chick
It's a sun. It's a sundial. No, it's. It's very subtle. And you. It's got three settings. I've got it on the lowest, so it doesn't emit a lot of light.
Dennis
Yeah, I've tried that. It's still too much, but I had.
Chick
The bat signal thing. I love that.
Dennis
Come on. When the alarm went off, or was it on?
Chick
No, it stays on all the time. Yeah, that's what I do. I check it. Women don't like it, but I like it. I could just look up and there it was. And.
Josh
Oh, my gosh, my dad loved that too. I got him on. He asked for it for Christmas one year.
Chick
Yeah, it's great.
Josh
If you want it, I can find out where it is. Yeah, the stores.
Chick
I probably. Probably have one in storage too.
Dennis
No, that's okay. I don't want it. I just wondered if there was a clock.
Chick
Show you the one I have. It's. It looks like this. Looks like a triangular piece of wood. And it's got a nice digital clock on it.
Dennis
Okay.
Pat
Every time I have to reset the room up.
Chick
Not. Not that much. It's red and it's kind of.
Josh
I'm convinced that if. That waking up. If having to set an alarm and having alarms wake you up takes years off your life. I think we were meant to wake up naturally.
Dennis
And our circadian rhythm.
Josh
I think it's. I haven't felt right since I started this job. Well, serious.
Chick
And we can.
Josh
We've noticed that, like, I really am not. I know it. I know it's screwing up my.
Bob
Now, before. When did you wake up and when did you go to bed?
Josh
I would wake up between nine and 10.
Dennis
You went to bed late because you were working too, Right. Right.
Chick
Do you find yourself better and disillusioned after working?
Josh
I know. It's just always kind of tired. Oh, absolutely.
Dennis
Oh, yeah.
Josh
And I'm living a healthier life than I was before I started this job.
Dennis
Yeah. You're always tired.
Josh
Yeah.
Chick
Maybe it's just the conversion to heterosexuality.
Josh
That I've considered that because I am expending less. Less of my life. Fluid.
Chick
You're right. I understand. Josh and I are having a moment. I'm sorry I couldn't get that out with a straight face.
Christopher
That's it for another Bob and Tom show. Extra. Catch us on itunes, Google play and stitcher for Bob and Tom. Extra. This is Christopher. Take care, everybody.
Chick
It's part sports.
Tom
We have football on the brain, part pop culture.
Josh
Dennis Leary, True or false. You refuse to wear a glove with Mickey Mantle's signature on it for the movie. The sandlot.
Bob
Red Sox blood, the Bruins blood.
Chick
They run deep. Add in the best celebrity interview.
Josh
Robert De Niro here on the Rich Eisen Show. How are you, sir?
Bob
Just got over a 24 hour virus.
Josh
The antidote is to appear on the Rich Eisen Show.
Chick
