Starting point is 00:00:30 Can being on the horn make you horny? Literally horny. A headline in the Washington Post scared the crap out of us this week. Quote, horns are growing on young people's skulls because phone and phone use is to blame. Research suggests. Newsweek called them spikes. Spikes growing from our skulls caused by the forward tilt of the head
Starting point is 00:00:58 when we look at our phones. It shifts the weight in your muscles and your spine and your skull, and it causes a spiky bone spur. Just a bone spur. Not really spikes or horns. Those headlines were kind of misleading. I was picturing horns.
Starting point is 00:01:14 Weren't you? Like devil horns, maybe? Or ram horns? Yes. Maybe a French horn? Yes. How'd you like that growing out of your soul? skull. Or perhaps this horn.
Starting point is 00:01:42 You know, I really think the music makes it pleasurable. That's why I have it playing in my spa. All right. Jim, I don't know what I meant there. The study could be full of crap because some people, Reason Magazine is debunking it. It said it has more to do with posture, but I don't care that it's false, because I like the story.
Starting point is 00:02:03 I like it, too. Look, I'm into heavy metal music, so that's always the devil's music, so I've been wanting horns for years. Yes. You know, so if I got to... It's kind of nerdy, though, that I'm going to get it from my iPhone 8 horns.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Yes. I'd much rather get it from my lost greed and gluttony lifestyle, you know. That's way cooler. You know, Kat, this is just one effective technology. If you go down the line, social media is turning us into monsters, right? We're less human.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Video games are basically killing off sports, which I'm for, actually. And pornography is offering you the ability to satisfy your needs without the messiness of human contact. We're turning into cyborgs. That's okay. Yes. Yeah, I mean, I saw this horn story, and I should have been concerned, seeing as I stare at my phone,
Starting point is 00:02:51 literally all day long, and I don't know I probably have the horns. If they're real, I definitely have the horns. And I don't care, because what else am I supposed to look at? Like, the world around me? No. Barf.
Starting point is 00:03:07 And you can't see your own horns. I don't understand the downside of being on your phone all the time because phones are much more interesting than most people, except for maybe one. Who? One, no, one downside. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 00:03:23 It would make me very, very, easy to kidnap? Like, I wouldn't even realize it was happening. I would look up, like, three days later. I'd be like, wait, whose dungeon is this? Surprise it hasn't happened yet. That's good to know for potential kidnappers. Bring me to your dungeons.
Starting point is 00:03:44 I won't even notice. Probably it would be boring to kidnap, though, because I'd just be, like, playing words with friends the whole time. Just keep texting her. Yeah. Keep texting her. Who is this? I want to know who you are.
Starting point is 00:03:54 You could carry her away. It would be great. All right, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back. Did you know that at Chevron, you can fuel up on unbeatable mileage and savings? With Chevron rewards, you'll get 25 cents off per gallon on your next five visits.

Listen, when I read this headline, I'm like, when did the Westboro Baptist Church start doing scientific studies? Your own is going to do horns, you know?
Starting point is 00:05:12 But, listen, you know, humans are the only ones that adapt our environment to us rather than evolve to it, right? We wear jackets instead of grow fur. It's proven that we're losing our pinky toes because we wear shoes. Thank God for that. I'm way ahead of you on that one, by the way. Yeah. My piquet toe is just stupid.
Starting point is 00:05:31 It's stupid. No, right, you look at your pinky toe, and it's like, why? Mine is molded out of rubber and connected to all the others. I forgot. You can laugh. Come on, man. I'm complaining. I'm complaining to Joey that I don't like my pinky toe.
Starting point is 00:05:47 Oh, my piquet toe. Who is, man? So when I saw this, I thought they meant, like, having your phone. up there was causing a bone spur, but it's looking down, it's like, how did people read books for 2,000 years? Did they hold them up here? Like, I don't know about it. I think that this is not entirely true, Tyrus. However, the greater idea that the human, the human mind or the human body is in communion with technology, we're actually, we're producing offspring that is a commingling of electronic, of like computers and humans. Right. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:06:23 You do not drop acid. Okay, listen, I love a good science story, and I'm all for some cool evolution, but this don't even make sense. If you're leaning forward all the time, shouldn't the horn come out here to be like a kickstand to keep the head up? Like, it's in the back. That would be. It's only pushing you this way. And if you're a little theory, come out, wouldn't it like our chins just become like a phone holder? Like that would be like, wow, our chins are longer so we can, you know, so cat can have more free time.
Starting point is 00:06:53 with her other hand to drink while she texts. This type of stuff sounds great, but this is the problem with the media today. It's all about the headline. The hell with the facts of the story. One kid's got bad posture, and apparently some stuff growing out the back of his neck, and the best excuse his parents could come up with
Starting point is 00:07:11 was, oh, it's from his phone. Yeah. Yeah, this sounds like something my mom would have used to ground me. Yes. It's the thing, it's like, you know, it's when they always would tell you that you would go blind, right? You know, when you, uh... I didn't even have to finish the line.
