Vasectomies as Youth Serums, California Zephyr Train

A claim is made that in the 1920s, vasectomies were marketed as a way to look more youthful, though the host argues they actually make a man's face look "puffier and softer." The host asserts he can identify men who have had the procedure with 99% accuracy based on their facial structure. The segment is interrupted by the sound of the California Zephyr train passing through Emeryville.
