Hoarders: Junk. Actual sh*t. Animals. Stuff. That’s what this week’s episode is all about… yes, we’re talking about HOARDERS! Trigger warning: This week’s episode contains swearing (as usual) and stories relating to the mistreatment of animals. Proceed with caution…
Geordie talks about her husband taking stuff off the street and drinking unknown murky liquids. Michelle talks about the time a childhood visit to a hoarder house scared the poop out of her. Geordie accuses Michelle of being a clothes hoarder. The pair delve into the psychology of hoarding and why hoarders hang on to stuff. Is there a difference between hoarding and collecting?
The pair talk about celebrity hoarders including Andy Warhol, the Bouvier sisters and Grey Gardens, the Collyer Brothers, plus Rhonda in the Chris Lilley series Lunatics and Susan Random in the British series Toast of London. Michelle delves into the difference between hoarder brains and non-hoarder brains. TRIGGER WARNING – Michelle outlines the case of Terry, the cat hoarder, which turns out to be horrific. (Apologies for the shock-disbelief-laughter – it was a case of hysterical laughing or crying). The case of Rat Man gets a mention – with a gruesome ending. Shanna the poo hoarder also gets some airtime, and quite frankly, it’s shocking. Geordie wraps up with the case of the Honeycheck sisters and that’s about it from the Eavesdroppin’ duo.
