Episode 255 - Marybeth Tinning & Lawn Chair Larry
This week, Naomi covers what some believe to be the most extreme and shocking case of Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy ever recorded.
Then Amber takes us on an adventure in the skies with a man who made his childhood dream come true in a most unorthodox way.
