FIONA CAULEY Isn't Faking It | Steph Infection
4d ago01:14:30Tap to summarizeFiona Cauley joins Steph fresh off getting engaged, and the two get into it fast. Steph and Fiona talk about her rare genetic condition (she's 1 of 3 siblings out of only 5,000 people in the US who have it), being told for three years as a teenager that she was faking her symptoms, a doctor who was visibly thrilled to finally diagnose her, $40k a month medication, dating with a disability and the men who either ran from it or weaponized it, handicap bathroom etiquette, and a story about a prolapsed uterus on the open sea that will ruin your week.

Transcribe →DANIEL SLOSS' Wife Rawdogged Childbirth | Steph Infection
2w ago01:09:19Tap to summarizeDaniel 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.
