177: Potty Prognosis


Listen Later

Ever wondered if your toilet could one day diagnose illnesses? We explore the wacky world of Ig Nobel Prizes with a special focus on a Stanford scientist's smart toilet invention. This high-tech loo can analyze urine and stool to detect diseases, but not without raising some eyebrows! We tackle the privacy concerns and technological hurdles of having a camera in such an intimate space, all while sharing some truly amusing anecdotes about bathroom habits and unusual nicknames for bodily functions.

And it doesn’t stop there! We shift gears to discuss the benefits of exercise on brain health, drawing inspiration from Lorna Hinstridge, Australia’s oldest woman at 110. We marvel at quirky longevity tales and highlight a study that challenges the limits of protein absorption post-exercise. To top it all off, we embark on a flavorful exploration of pepperoni and reminisce about nostalgic treats like microwave puddings.
