    12 - FARTS AND HICCUPS

    In this episode we break down two understudied, but frequently experienced, phenomena: Farts and Hiccups. We cover what's normal and what's not, throw around big words like "flatogenicity" and "singultus," and ask important questions like "can lighting a fart make your butt explode?" We also learn about the longest hiccup bout ever, why Mel refuses to eat vegetables, and more!

We travel back to the year 1881 to relive that fateful summer day and talk about bullets, miasma, scene safety, and why it's a bad idea to go digging around in open wounds.
