00:00To cure your impotence, you want me to implant goat testicles into you?
00:15Well, doc, that can't be worse than the nuts I got.
00:19Well...
00:35At first, they came bringing their own goats. Pretty soon, he had his own herd of goats out
00:40back. The patient would select a goat with which he felt the most connection,
00:46then they would come in and do this sort of double operation.
00:48My wife just gave birth to our first child. I am living proof that the
00:53goat glands in my scrotus are working. I'd show all of you right now if
00:57the ladies weren't present. Is your form of medicine found in any textbook?
01:03I highly doubt it. Did you learn it in school?
01:06Of course not. Then how do you know it works?
01:10He had a sort of weird sex appeal.
01:13He was kind of like the Dr. Ruth Westheimer of the 20s and 30s.
01:16He was already grooming himself for the next move.
01:22XERA was the world's most powerful broadcasting station.
01:26He had a million ideas and had a huge influence on the course of popular culture.
01:34He saw the future.
