So I just listened to “All the Girls were Nude” and I’m pretty sure this was well-known in some circles by the 80s, because when I was a child I would browse the back of dirty magazines in the grocery store (while moms shopped lol) and they were always advertising X-ray glasses. I found a lot the stories and ads more interesting than the nudity, I was different. Hilariously this story was probably where those ads got their start!” Thanks Tif for buying us a coffee and your interesting comment!</p><p><br></p><p>If you would like to buy us a coffee there is a link in the description. ☕ Buy Me a Coffee&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/scottsV</a></p><p><br></p><p>Another 5 star review on Apple Podcasts.
