#4: An Unknowing Medical Marvel & A Man Who Would Be King


Listen Later

Join Annie and Andrea for another pair of exciting stories from the annals of forgotten history.

This week Annie brings you the story of an unwitting medical donor, and insults all Lord of the Rings fans everywhere. Honestly, if you're a Tolkien fan, come at her bro. Andrea tells the story of a hopeless romantic, emphasis on the hopeless, all while expressing her upset at film remakes and Annie's reluctance to join her on fairy gold heists.
