Summary
We discuss a woman who was caught by customs with 57 turtles taped to her body and the reasons one might do that. We find out why some people think all Cheez-Its are not created equal. Hear why poop might be the key to good health and metabolism might be the key to curing mental illnesses (all of them!). We hear about the green tattoo Sarah's dog has, why she has it, and why Sarah wants one now too.
