Welcome to The Moth Podcast. I'm Michelle Jalowski, a director at the Moth, and your host for this episode.

Human bodies are amazing, but let's face it, they're also kind of weird. On the one hand, our bodies are this incredibly resilient collection of bones, organs, arteries, nerves, tendons, the most complex machinery around.

On the other, there's hiccups, blushing, goosebumps, wisdom teeth, our ears never stop growing and we're the only

species that has chins. Our bodies can help us out, but they can also do us dirty. On this

episode, two stories that have a little bit of fun with the human anatomy. First up is Jason

Schomer.

He told this at a Twin City Story Slam where the theme of the night was tests.

Here's Jason, live at the month.

She looked at me and said, see that red light in the corner, just ignore it.

And I looked at her and I thought, what?

And she looks and you go, yeah, it's just a video camera.

It's going to record you when you sleep.

And I stood there and I thought to myself,

oh my God, you cannot have the Ricky Martin dream tonight.

See, I hadn't really been paying attention

when they explained the sleep study for sleep apnea to me,

and I didn't know that I would be actually recorded while I slept.

I knew that there would be sensors set to my body,

but I didn't know that there would be actual video footage.

Now, my love for Ricky Martin is a tale as old as time.

Boy sees boy on TV.

Boy buys boys records.
