Hannah Calvo, the aesthetician behind Steph's CoolSculpting journey, finally makes it onto the podcast. Steph has been talking about her stomach for years and now the person responsible for fixing it is here to explain exactly how it works. Hannah and Steph get into the science of freezing fat cells, how kids sucking on popsicles literally led to this technology, why you pee and poop the dead fat out, what Kybella does to your chin, laser hair removal gone wrong, people DIYing their own filler at home, the horror story of a woman whose face was filled with mystery cement that no surgeon would touch, and why medical tourism for aesthetics is genuinely terrifying.

Marc Maron stops by Steph Infection and immediately makes himself at home, which means an hour of medical anxiety, body scan results, and somehow ending on a book of gangrenous cock illustrations. Steph and Marc get into bombing at the Comedy Store after tragedy, crying onstage, Marc's full body Nuvo scan results including desiccated discs, mild scoliosis, and a thyroid problem, plus asking his cardiologist to just put preventative stents in, quitting his podcast, three cats he can't get rid of, going vegan and missing tin fish, Jay Leno still doing his thing, and his dad's medical textbooks full of diseases of the cock that haunted his entire childhood.

Daniel Sloss rolls into Steph Infection still recovering from American bar pours, turns out 5 gin and tonics in the US is not the same as 5 gin and tonics in Scotland, and he has learned this the hard way. Steph and Daniel bond hard over Highland dancing (for real), Scottish country dancing as a pickup culture, having a best bitch at your wedding, and why the Edinburgh Fringe would absolutely lose its mind if Steph showed up. Then it gets real as Daniel walks through both of his kids' births in full detail, including his wife losing 1.5 liters of blood, a stuck placenta, an hour and a half alone with a newborn not knowing if his wife was alive, and his wife shockingly coming back into the room like "let's have two more." He has not forgiven her.
