How Many Farts Are Normal? The Science of Sleep & Birthday Pressure

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today’s show, we looked at a question that has probably crossed everyone's mind at some point: how many farts a day is actually normal? Scientists have finally crunched the numbers. Then we explored new research suggesting that it may be possible to gain some of the benefits of sleep without actually falling asleep. Today's unpopular opinion was: celebrating your birthday should not be obligatory. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: name something you can see at a kids' birthday party.
