Episode description

The hole truth, and nothing but the truth? We’re back to explore the wild world of foreign objects and their unexpected escapades in human orifices! Prof. Jonathan "Egg Plant" Sackier and Doctor Nigel "Ears-n-Nose Detective" Guest, will be exploring all the other holes that people just can’t resist putting things in.

Ever wonder why kids treat their ears and noses like treasure chests? The Docs unveil the mystery of mini archaeologists inserting everything from beads, to peas and, wait for it, fluff! It's a delicate dance folks, so let's avoid turning ears into makeshift storage units!

Doctor Guest shifts our focus to batteries taking up residence in ears. Spoiler alert: it's not a power move! Learn about the electrifying risks, the urgent need for surgical removal, and the nose-navigating challenges faced by our brave medical warriors. We throw in some bug-in-ear anecdotes, adding buzz to the conversation as well as discussing why you should just leave cotton buds alone. They're not magic wands!

We’ll make our way down to the weird world of adult escapades: stomas, urethras and vaginas, oh my! Nails, staples, and bullets - yes, bullets - used for pleasure. The plot thickens as we unravel the motivations behind these debacles and the surgical acrobatics involved.

And who could forget bejewelled genitals? We pierce through the myths, tackling infections and complications with body piercings, giving you a heads-up for those considering below-the-belt bling.

Let's face it, foreign bodies are serious business but with a side of laughter.
