The Body of Evidence

052 - Baldness and Vaping


Listen Later

Chris tries to shave Jonathan’s head as a poorly thought-out prophylactic measure against baldness. Meanwhile, comedian Jacob Meza interviews the cast of his comedy show: do baseball caps cause baldness… or treat it? Back in the studio, the boys talk about the many reasons why people lose their hair; Rogaine and Propecia; whether or not women can go bald; and the fact that it’s not technically testosterone that’s to blame for baldness. Also: peacocks; vaping may help you quit cigarettes but it many not help you quit nicotine; sunscreen chemicals in the blood; and the return of Dr. Bob Bobinovitz.

 

Vox pop by Jacob Meza, host of Comedy Crowd Off, the Heckling Game Show.

 

Jingle by Joseph Hackl.

 

Additional music by Seth Donnelly and Kevin MacLeod.
