990: Lunge Marathon, Serial Pooper, & Gourmand Syndrome

Sarah's mom had to have surgery, and we find out how one of our recent episodes could've prevented this unfortunate incident. Let's just say: plank at your own risk. A man decided to do an entire marathon doing lunges instead of running like a normal person, and, spoiler alert, it didn't go well. Sarah talks about two ladies who got locked into a Scottish castle overnight. Susie has breaking serial pooper news. A woman was caught going number two on a hiking trail every morning, and you will not believe her excuse. Sarah reveals one of the worst moments of her life involved stumbling upon the remains of an outdoor defecator, and she is still traumatized. Sarah explains Gourmand Syndrome, an incredibly rare condition that creates a burning passionate and need for gourmet food, and we have follow up questions...
