The ties that bind families together are so basic to our lives, it's easy, too easy, to take them for granted. That is, until they're gone. Nearly all families have their share of secrets, mysteries. But sometimes the burden of keeping those secrets can be so great even the closest of family ties can start to unravel. So it is with one family whose mystery involves murder.

If you had to guess how many inches beyond the anus it was, could you guess?

1291.119

It would have to go back to get your bike. And also you just had a pretty massive procedure up there and you're going to now ride.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

I bet there'd be like a HIPAA issue. Like they couldn't call the next hospital and be like, hey, what was that? I think wouldn't that violate HIPAA somehow?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1320.571

I have an immediate guess. I think it was a bottle of conditioner. I think he was in the shower and he decided to masturbate and he thought it might feel nice to have this bottle up his butt. Now, when you think back in your mind of the image, could it have been a conditioner bottle?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1338.868

I take it all back. He was sitting on a picnic table having a nice cold... It was an accident.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1352.987

And I'm sorry to ask for this detail, but my assumption now is that the thin end was first.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1361.874

Of the soda or whatever? Yeah. No, because the cap would have had to have been on.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1367.898

No, he would have taken the cap.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1378.964

I hope he figured out how to enjoy that hobby without any further complications. If someone wants to do that and that feels nice, I'm all for it.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1388.676

No, that is really a cruel detail of the story.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1395.805

Now I'm double sad because he didn't have anyone to call, but then I don't know that that's the truth either because he might have just been like, there's no way I'm calling anyone.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

1413.863

Well, Lucy, this has been incredible. I kind of had fingers crossed we would get something stuck up the butt story. You read about those occasionally.

Not that I've ever made that mistake and had my dog run outside without me or screamed his name repeatedly over and over and over again until I found him. Or you know to check that the guy who asked you out is an armcherry first before you agree to go on a date with him. Sage advice. Essential. Checking first is smart.

Evan, have you spent any time trying to get into the mind of why that would be satisfying? I can generally find my way into understanding people's motives, but I don't even understand what the pleasure of that is.

Yeah, you're like the Marines. My first thought as someone who's always thinking about mechanical stuff is like, well, certainly among those 50 patients, some of them have to be hooked to machines to stay alive that require electricity. Are there generators that are put out in the parking lot or are there battery supplies on these carts?

Okay, I'm just going to ask you one simple question before we go, because the previous nurse we just spoke with said that every single nurse has a foreign object in rectum story. You don't need to tell it. Just do you have a foreign object in rectum story? I have many. Oh, well, yeah, you were in L.A. They always fall onto it.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

2257.727

I'd like to open it up to everybody. Because maybe someone will be brave enough to tell foreign body and their own rectum story. Because I want to know how you lose control of it. Because you must have a game plan. Obviously, you're only going to insert so much of it. And then you go too far. And then I guess you lose grip. Then you try to get it out and it just goes up.

2808.021

Wow. Was there any point having not had any family members in it and maybe not having the correct expectations for the job? Were there moments at the beginning where you're like, oh, fuck this. I didn't choose right. Or did you immediately know it was for you?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Armchair Anonymous: Nurses II

2857.44

Yeah, you have a finite capacity and then you have a real life outside of it. And maybe you're sleep deprived and maybe you're having a marital issue and you add all these things together. It's impossible. I will say it's prepared you nicely to have a child, though.

That happened with my dad when he had this very massive head-on collision when I was in eighth grade. And I had to go to the hospital, and they said basically go in and say goodbye. He's unconscious. I went in there, and his head was like the size of a basketball. And he woke up while I was in there. And the first thing he did is pulled the breathing tube out.

Yeah. I'm going to add, I have another stereotype, not just about nurses, but I have a stereotype about Minnesotans. I would argue that Minnesotans are like Michiganders, but a little even elevated.

They have so much Scandinavian in them, right, that they're modest by nature. They hate attention and acclaim. So it's kind of the same stock as Michigan, but they have this nice layer of humility, I'd say.

663.949

Well, that's good. And would you have heard if she had passed in that upstairs room? Would they have told you? Probably. Okay. So I think all signs point to she's probably with mittens now on her lap.

Great. Because I was going to say the times I've had to go to the doctor and talk about something I just really don't want to talk about. I have decided I'm willing to tell this one person. In your mind, you've committed to that. And then you get there and you start realizing, no, I'm going to have to tell many people. And I hate that. Is that common?

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
