A 91-year-old woman missed her daily welfare call because she was busy trying to beat her video-game record—and police found her just fine. That's one of the lighter surprises in Episode 40. The hosts also dig into the pre-anesthesia surgeon Robert Liston, whose frantic operation reportedly killed three people, and an 18th-century "rescue" technique that involved blowing tobacco smoke up drowning victims' rectums. Plus: a cheating boyfriend exposed by his spectacularly bad keto breath, a serial butt-sniffer caught on camera, and a Thanksgiving stand mixer presented with strings attached. Strange history, stranger headlines, and plenty of bacon ratings await.
