Welcome to the wild, weird world of things that shouldn't be inside you—but somehow found their way there anyway. Consider this your backstage (back door?) pass to the greatest show on earth: Humans Putting Strange Things Where The Sun Don't Shine.

Everyday across America, emergency room staff exchange knowing glances as yet another patient arrives with something stuck somewhere it absolutely shouldn't be. From the toddler who thought a quarter looked delicious to the college student who can't explain how that lightbulb got where it is (spoiler alert: they absolutely can explain, they just don't want to), the human body has become an unintentional storage unit for the strangest items imaginable.

As your guide on this journey, Mary Poopins promises to deliver medical reality and cheeky charm as we explore what goes in and why it sometimes refuses to come out. The heroic medical professionals who stand ready with forceps, lube, and poker faces deserve Academy Awards. After all, what goes in must come out—though sometimes with considerably more medical intervention than nature intended.

Thanks for listening, thanks for reading! If you enjoy Mary Poopins, please support the work at buymeacoffee.com/marypoopins.
