Urination
Many questions get doubled and tripled up and more over the years, but why has no one asked why shaking your leg can hold urination urge at bay for a time? When you urgently need to go but can’t. Otherwise a great podcast and I’m too shy to phone in and ask any questions. Lucy and Karl intimate me, but they are nice people.
Love the facts
You have an amazing and interesting inspiration podcast
