[B]

He did?

[A]

Really?

[B]

Yeah. Verbal.

[A]

I'm Chick McGee. What. What happened, Pat, from your. Your point of view, what happened? My. I'm getting my haircut today and she does my eyebrows. Courtney's her name. I love Courtney. And it's been a long time, though. Vacation. So my eyebrows are really getting crazy bushy. And Jason said, hey, you better get them trimmed up. You don't. When you're a man of my age, you can't I trim mine up myself? I. No, no, no, no, no, no. Your ears are kind of Brezhnevesque.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

You gotta have just.

[B]

They're great.

[A]

I think they're great, too. But I'm also. I'm. I'm an eyebrowman.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Tom. What.

[B]

What's your eyebrow situation?

[A]

It beats me. I don't know. May we see? Can you just tip your hat up a little bit? Yeah.

[B]

You have very regular eyebrows.

[A]

Yeah.

[B]

I can barely see them.

[A]

Yeah, Pat seemed. Pat seemed really gray all of a. For him. When they come out. When it grows out, you can really.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

No, no, no. Courtney does everything.

[B]

She Wax.

[A]

Yes.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Just a little bit in the middle. Yeah. Of my ass. Have you. Oh, my eyebrows. Have you asked her to sit on your lap while she's cutting your hair? Courtney and I are very, very good platonic friends. Is she chesty, though? Don't you like when you're getting your haircut? She's got nice boobs, so they kind of brush against you. Yeah. Did I say that out loud? That's. There's like a. It's you know what? There's, there's something. What'd you say? There's like a comfort. Oh, there we go. Sorry, that's like. There's a. Like two today. It's when a. When a what? You better be careful. Okay, so far you're oh for two. Here's your third chance. You too. When my. There's a comfort thing when a hairdresser's breasts brush against you. More so than a sexual thing, I think. Oh, your thoughts, Pat? No, it's always sexual. When a breast brushes up against. I get a. I get a boner. Yeah, it turns me. I'm talking to Phil.

[B]

Have you guys ever had a barber that, like, puts his, his junk on your hand when he, when he brushes against the. No.

[A]

No, but I will not. See, I, I'm, I'm odd. I will not, you know, let a man cut my hair. Oh, okay.

[B]

Yeah, well, a man cut my hair for a while because I had a short pixie cut even in high school. And so I went to the town barber and he was known for rubbing. It's like you put your hands on the barber chair and he would kind of rub.

[A]

I think he did it on purpose. I don't know. Oh, man.

[B]

Rest in peace, Leonard.

[A]

A masher or whatever. The masher? Yeah.

[B]

I don't know.

[A]

He died. Yeah. Do you remember the name of your barber? Because I do. And Jess obviously mean when you were a kid. Yeah, Swick. Swick's Barbershop. Oh, S W I C K. Last name. You think Old Swick. I do remember the name of the barber shop.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Fran Antonio's. No kidding.

[B]

It's not real.

[A]

Yes, I like it. Fran Antonio. It sounds like a drag. No, that was one. That was the last name. Oh, okay. Mr. Fran Antonio. Okay, absolutely. Oh, okay. Yeah. Did he have a spittoon? No, but they did have that array of hair tonic that looked like a. Looked like a contemporary bourbon bar. Yeah, barbicide, with like 80 different hair products. And then they had the, the blue mouthwash looking stuff full of combs.

[B]

Did you pick the number? Did they have the big poster with all the, the cuts and the.

[A]

Oh, like the one you see in the Andy Griffith Show. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That happened to me. I sat down, I go off the 21, they brought me broccoli and beef. Is there any hair in it? Very odd. Okay, now that was so easy to not laugh at that. Well, speaking of which. Well, we move on now and we turn back to Christy Lee, a centuries.

[B]

Old tradition from India could offer a surprising new therapy for sleep apnea.

[A]

Oh, check this out.

[B]

Researchers found folks with moderate obstructive sleep apnea who practice shunk or conch shell blowing, slept better, felt more alert and had fewer nighttime breathing interruptions. The study leader, Dr. Krishna K. Sharma, says the traditional yogic breathing exercise may strengthen the throat and soft palate muscles which often collapse during sleep in apnea patients.

[A]

I met that guy.

[B]

Did you?

[A]

Yeah. I wanted to give him a hug, but they said don't squeeze. The Sharma, ladies and gentlemen. And now from the Bob and Tom show, it's the conch blowing group. Sounds like a traffic jam. Yeah, it does. Get the hell out of the way. Learn to drive. What is that?

[B]

Conch blowing.

[A]

It's conk blowing. Brilliant. Sounds like a lot. Go back to Okinawa. Boy, that guy's intolerant, isn't it? What are you. What is the occasion for that audio? Is it some kind of religious thing? We're just that good. It does sound like a traffic jam. Yeah. Okay. It's hurting my ears. Eat it.

[B]

It never sounds like that when I blow a conch.

[A]

No. Will you behave yourself over there?

[B]

The technique involves a deep breath, then a forceful sustained exhale through tightly pursed lips.

[A]

Slow down. What do I have to do?

[B]

First you have to take a deep breath. Forceful sustained exhale through tightly pursed lips, creating strong vibrations of the airflow resistance.

[A]

This is ridiculous. Is this the Jimmy Buffet?

[B]

Scientists say the low cost practice may help reduce symptoms without medication or machines.

[A]

How? How does that help sleep apnea?

[B]

Because watch.

[A]

Tommy, I'm not questioning.

[B]

It strengthens the throat and soft palate muscles which collapse often.

[A]

Oh, okay.

[B]

People that have sleep.

[A]

And it also. You'll be sleeping alone because. Honey, don't fall asleep yet. I've got to blow my conch. The neighbors are getting upset every night at 11 o'. Clock. Here's more. Here's more conch for Tom. Is that a Jimmy Buffett song? Yeah, it's Finns. Oh, wow. Oh, they loved it. Oh, yeah. One more time. Are we out of bullets? Where'd you get this wrong with our culture? Oh, that's. If that isn't alcohol infused. Well, I would hope so. It's a Jimmy Buffett thing. A lot better than the original. I tell you that. I don't know.

[B]

Now, medical experts out there say the penis stops growing by around age 13.

[A]

I told you, boy. I. I don't know. I don't know if it's like ear tissue or 15 where it keeps growing kind of forever.

[B]

18 is your answer when most boys finish high school.

[A]

Oh, Pat, I know you're hoping to be a late bloomer. My fingers are crossed. Can you collect Social Security and still be eligible for another inch? Do you still remember the biggest one you ever saw? Yeah. Yes, I do. Yeah.

[B]

Like in person? Yeah. Those guys walking around, I guess, in locker rooms.

[A]

It was stunning. Neurologists, totally intact and just like an elephant's trunk. It's unbelievable. It was. It was every bit. 11 inches soft.

[B]

What?

[A]

Unbelievable. Yeah.

[B]

You were in an NFL locker room.

[A]

No.

[B]

Right?

[A]

Nope. Nope.

[B]

High school.

[A]

Wow. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say sophomore. Holy cow. Yeah. Oh, yeah. So, I'm sorry, what is the.

[B]

The 18 is the age. Urologist. Dr. Jameen Bramhot, Men's Health. That most growth happens during puberty, which we had assume when testosterone surges. Dr. Amy Pearlman says DNA and hormone exposure during development largely develop. Determine your adult size. A review found the average erect penis measures 5.1 inches in length, with 90% of men between 3.9 and 6.3 inches.

[A]

Yay. It's greater than a curve.

[B]

90%.

[A]

It's greater than a curve. Josh, you know the name of that curve? The Peronis. Of course. Thank you very much.

[B]

Average girth, just under 4.7 inches.

[A]

Whoa.

[B]

Flaccid. The average length is about three and a half. Doctors say the best way to maintain sexual health is the same as for overall wellness. Eat well, exercise regularly.

[A]

I know. Mine stopped at 18 inches.

[B]

Oh, and by the way, physical activity, guys can be just as effective as Viagra in improving erectile function.

[A]

Yeah, but it's easier just to swallow a pill.

[B]

Does the aging process affect it? Does it get longer as you guys get older?

[A]

Well, that's the. The article. Apparently not, no. Okay.

[B]

The balls don't.

[A]

Yeah, those could sag more. I think that's a different topic. Can you be a little bit more medical?

[B]

No.

[A]

The bulls.

[B]

You're going ads.

[A]

You know, your bait and tackle. Your satchel. Testicles. Yes. You're sacked.

[B]

It just feels like it would eventually kind of look uncut, like if gravity takes effect.

[A]

I see. Yeah.

[B]

Skin just kind of.

[A]

I thought your ears, your nose, and your weenie. Wink. Never stopped growing. Yeah, apparently they do. Yeah, but this is saying. No, this is saying once you get to a certain age or. Okay. Does it say anything about her nose and ears? Look. Look that up. Different things now. There's a thing called hospital penis. Right, Tom, we know about that. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

[B]

Where it hides up.

[A]

Yeah. It gets scared. Yeah.

[B]

It does.

[A]

It's called the what Hospital penis. Which is embarrassing when there are people around, like interns and stuff. Yeah, it's a female. Female interns at my surgery. Yeah.

[B]

Oh, I thought you meant the interns.

[A]

Here. You want to make a good. Although the good. The good news is you got some of the biggest laughs you've gotten all year. That is absolutely true. I was humiliated.

[B]

On the other side of the coin. Women, we're not going to forget you.

[A]

I never stopped growing either. No, but a feather in it and she can fly like Dumbo.

[B]

We're not going to talk about that. Most women, or more women, rather, are returning to reusable menstrual products as an alternative to the single use pads and tampons.

[A]

Yeah. This won't last. Like the cup.

[B]

Silicone cups, the period underwear. Menstrual discs. Yeah. They can be reused for years, making them both cost effective and environmentally friendly.

[A]

That's part of the. The comeback of vinyl. What is the menstrual disc? Well, there's a purity to it. Yeah. It sounds warm. It sounds warmer. Yeah. Yeah, that's right.

[B]

They're gonna have fun with this name women's health expert, Dr. Navia. Mysore.

[A]

Mysore. Don't you think if you were a doctor you'd change that?

[B]

Yes. Says disposable products remain the most common choice. But largely due to the fact that they're the first option many girls learn to use. And most pads, by the way, primarily made of plastic. I did not know this. Once in a landfill. They can take up to 800 years to break down.

[A]

So what? Who cares? You women are really helping ruin the earth. And it's. I wish you would just hold it. How many?

[B]

We should go back to the tens.

[A]

There are no numbers. I find this when it says more women are turning to reusable menstrual products.

[B]

I know.

[A]

Let me see some numbers.

[B]

I do know some women.

[A]

Well, that's the thing.

[B]

There are a lot of women that do.

[A]

Come on. I mean, if they want. If they want women.

[B]

Do you know that. That are having a cycle. That you would know what their personal use was?

[A]

Almost all of my peers.

[B]

All of us. Do you know what all of us use?

[A]

Yes. No. You. Is that right? I saw that. I. Look at that tiny trash can. Yes, I saw that Stanley thing in there. Ye. How do you hold that up? And why can't you. Why can't you flush them, by the way? I want to know. Go ahead and flush them anyway. I want to know who's using the Hot dog buns, Organic, recyclable.

[B]

Not me, I can tell you that.

[A]

Well, I think, Jess, you want to stick with the. The. With the Tampex and all that stuff. Yeah. Tell me what I should use because. No, listen, just hear me out on this show. As my buddy Josh would say, you're leaving money on the table when you go to resell these babies. On only Fans. I just an interview and a girl said that's what she. She often gets requested used pads. I bet. Yes. And so she. They pay for, and then she ships them to million dollar business. I was. I was only joking. That's a thing. That's insane. Yeah, absolutely. So I don't know if they make tea.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Or what? Like. Is it like a. Maybe like a Rorschach thing? What do I. What do you see when you look at this? You know what I kind of get is period panties. I think that really makes sense. What era? Like Renaissance? Oh, yes. Yeah, that's. You know, that's a ward. Bait. Oscar bait.

[B]

There are pros and cons for that as well because of the moisture that it holds can cause some issues.

[A]

Oh, I got you.

[B]

Okay.

[A]

Well, they can perfect that. That seems like a pretty good thing.

[B]

And they're not very organic either. They're full of plastics, too.

[A]

Oh, no.

[B]

They're not a bad addition, too, if you back up in case you have leakage.

[A]

I'm old school. I've been on this thing called an airplane. And when you fly over this country, you go, boy, there sure is a lot of space we could fill with.

[B]

Don't. But what are you doing?

[A]

It gets into the groundwater. Yeah, great. Well, the groundwater out there, who's gonna notice some squirrel? Well, you know, the truth is. Yes.

[B]

We are killing our planet.

[A]

Well, not really. The planet's for us. I'll be damned. Already tired of being told. Okay.

[B]

All right.

[A]

How dare you live here. Shut up, hippie punk. Go ruin a. Go throw macaroni and cheese on the Mona Lisa, whatever the hell you're trying. By the way, grab a shower while you're at it. Yeah. Bathe. Huh? I mean, at least maybe sit in a creek. Anything. Something.

[B]

Well, the creeks are all dirty, thanks to you. I can't.

[A]

So when you. You wear this cup around, is it dangling down?

[B]

No, you insert it.

[A]

You too? No, I wondered that, too. How big is the cup?

[B]

The cup is like a shot glass.

[A]

Yeah. Oh, I know what that is. What about gravity? I mean, when you. You stand up.

[B]

No, Tom, it closes. There's a muscle down There are you. Do you know anything?

[A]

No. These are fair questions. Don't you ask. No, don't say. Because he's offering his opinion on what they should use for their period.

[B]

It's almost like this material. So you squeeze it together like this. You stick it up and then it opens up naturally.

[A]

So it's like a coin purse.

[B]

Yeah, it kind of is. It really is.

[A]

Have you ever seen.

[B]

And then it stays up.

[A]

I have seen a diary.

[B]

And there's like a little thing on the end and that you can pull it out, clean it, and you squeeze it out.

[A]

You squeeze it out in our sink.

[B]

Oh, my God.

[A]

That doesn't spoil the urine I'm putting. I've been using it in tea instead of a lemon slice. It really is. Yeah, I like it better.

[B]

I know you hate a lemon slice, don't you?

[A]

I'm so sorry. You know what we should do is change the topic. Oh, look, there's Chick. I'm just still laughing that one of your main platforms in life is more landfills. That's right. That's right. I say go for it. 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.
