- 0:07Speaker 1: had to nip that in the bud pretty quick.
- 0:08Speaker 2: I always said if men got their periods, it'd be
- 0:10Speaker 2: a cure for it by now.
- 0:12Speaker 1: But recently, Viagra users, be careful what you wish for,
- 0:17Speaker 1: are reporting some unwelcome side effects.
- 0:20Speaker 3: Such as?
- 0:20Speaker 2: Deafness, blindness, baldness, and drooling. Okay.
- 0:25Speaker 1: And let's face it, you can be as you know
- 0:28Speaker 1: what as you like, but if you're drooling... That will
- 0:31Speaker 1: prove counterproductive to your appeal.
- 0:33Speaker 3: It's not the anticipation. It's not Pavlov's dog, is it?
- 0:37Speaker 2: No, Pavlov's drooling dog.
- 0:40Speaker 3: I see also one of the other side effects is
- 0:43Speaker 3: swollen tongues, which is not exactly the swelling that you
- 0:49Speaker 3: were looking for.
- 0:50Speaker 2: Confusion.
- 0:51Speaker 1: Now, there's only one side effect, really, that's welcome with Viagra.

- 1:15Speaker 1: isn't it?
- 1:16Speaker 3: Overworking?
- 1:17Speaker 2: Yes.
- 1:18Speaker 1: The latest figures have revealed questions surrounding one of Viagra's
- 1:21Speaker 1: most unusual reported risks, though, the sudden hearing loss.
- 1:24Speaker 2: If this was Boom Dish FM, you'd go, pardon?
- 1:28Speaker 3: There must be a lot of husbands out there who
- 1:30Speaker 3: are taking it.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Selective hearing.
- 1:34Speaker 1: Yes, exactly.
- 1:35Speaker 2: Now they've got a double excuse.
- 1:37Speaker 3: Sure, I'm just taking my vitamins. I want to hear you.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Flavo founder Hugh Hefner was said to have lost hearing
- 1:44Speaker 2: in one ear. He used so much Viagra. But he
- 1:47Speaker 2: soldiered on.
- 1:48Speaker 1: Well, former partners and later his widow, Crystal, said Hef
- 1:51Speaker 1: was warned that the drug could affect his hearing, but
- 1:53Speaker 1: he didn't particularly care, reportedly saying, I'd rather be deaf
- 1:57Speaker 1: and still able to have sex.
- 2:00Speaker 3: He was a trooper right to the end.

- 2:02Speaker 1: So that's just letting everyone know that that is a thing.
- 2:06Speaker 3: Yep.

- 2:11Speaker 3: This has been a community service announcement.
- 2:12Speaker 2: But may I just repeat?
- 2:14Speaker 1: Yes.
- 2:14Speaker 2: Drooling? You know, drooling.
- 2:18Speaker 3: It's a good look.
- 2:19Speaker 2: It's a sexy look. It's not a good look. It's
- 2:22Speaker 2: a sexy look. It's not a good look.
- 2:24Speaker 3: So again, read the label carefully and see your doctor
- 2:27Speaker 3: if symptoms persist.
