This week, the guys dive headfirst into the chaotic, unhinged fringes of scientific history. When mainstream medicine says "impossible," these stubborn researchers said "watch this".

Hear the incredible tale of Dr. Werner Forssmann, who immobilized an OR nurse so he could thread a 65-centimeter rubber tube into someone’s heart, or Dr. Barry Marshall's stomach-turning attempt to cure ulcers with a cocktail of bacteria.

Between pistol shrimp generating 4,700-degree Celsius gas in freezing ocean water and caffeine acting as a neurological shock mechanism for bugs, this episode delivers equal parts jaw-dropping facts and comedy. Don't try these medical procedures at home, but definitely give this episode a listen!

Forget orderly science textbooks - reality is far weirder!
