      Don't be jealous TeeJay!

      I'm sure if you post a video giving your unique take on Newton's First Law of Motion, or perhaps explaining the difference between distance and displacement you'll have all the girls drooling

          Alrite Spencer! You asked for it man! (Hope this doesn't put anyone to sleep, and if any chicks happen to drool from it, please send me a message, we may have a future together :-)).

          Newton's First Law of Motion states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by external, unbalanced forces. One can think of this in the context of hair. Hair continues to grow, with roughly the same physiological speed (about 1/4 inch per month) and in roughly the same hair-to-scalp angular direction (forward in the front of the scalp and downward in the rear of the scalp), until and unless the hair is disturbed by and acted upon by external, unbalanced forces. In the case of hair, and specifically male pattern baldness, these external forces are testoserone, alpha-5 reductase, and the devil himself, DHT. DHT, on its own, is an unbalanced force of physiology that will miniaturize and even kill the hair follicles. So how do we restore Newton's First Law of Motion for hair? You betcha -- Propecia! Propecia recreates the physiological balance of forces inside of us that keeps the hair follicle and its output (hair) in motion.

          Okay, I'm sitting here trying to think of a 2nd clever analogy for explaining hair and hair loss in the context of distance and displacement, but I'm not having any luck, and I don't want to get too stressed, because I may start to pull my hair out, and I kinda need that :-)

          PayDay -- thanks man!! Spencer and Dave rock. How long have you been a fan of the show? Have you ever called in?

            Hello TeeJay,
            I've been listening since January 2002. Spencer had just moved to LA and I remember him talking about how he escaped his apartment on 9/11. I used to listen on 102.7 Fm here in New York. I have Sirius in my car so I watch the show on the internet
            If it were not for the bald truth I don't know where I would be now. Spencer and Dave helped me deal with my life. I owe so much to them.
            I called in once about four years ago.

              Can't believe you've been listening since 102.7 back in the day. That's even before Dave came on board.

              Since you're a WNEW guy, thought you might be interested in knowing the Anthony from the Opie and Anthony show recently had a hair transplant. He opened the show yesterday discussing his experience.

              I'm a little disappointed that he went with one of the big chains, especially since we're both on XM and even though I'm a "Z list" celebrity, I know he's heard of the show. I used to work out of their studio in New York when we were both on WNEW.

              Anyway, I hope things go well for him

                Hey Spencer,

                I’m not such a fan of O&A. Never really liked them when they were on WNEW. I’m a Stern Fan Looking forward to the show this week. I’ll try to call in. I’m a huge PUA fan.
