How did we end up talking about UFOs & fake meat in the same episode??

Do you read newspapers? Honestly, the last time Michelle picked up a newspaper was the free one on the Tube about 2 years ago and since then… nuthin’. In fact, when Geordie asked her to do a video scrunching up a newspaper, she couldn’t even find one.

It’s not that we don’t like reading the news, it’s just that it’s not that fun to read the news. The front page is always death and crimes and someone doing something sh*tty to someone else and it all gets a bit much after a while. Michelle remembers years ago when someone told her about a Christian newspaper in the US of A that was called something like the Good News Newspaper, she thought it was ridiculous – what’s the point of only reporting the good stuff? That’s not life! But now, she gets it. You don’t need to know every bad thing that happens in the world – you only need to know the stuff you want to know.

Which leads us to the Newsdroppin’ episode! This week is all about the weird and the wonderful and the bizarre and the tragic. We combed the internet for stories that interested us – and like every Eavesdroppin’ episode, we start with a theme that goes off on a tangent before coming back on a different theme that’s loosely related to the first theme… Yes, Eavesdroppin’ is random – but hey ho, life is random.

So this week we begin with a story from Michelle about a woman who got a Tiddlywink stuck up her nose when she was a kid and didn’t find it until 37 years later. Yep. And if you’re squeamish about poop – maybe you don’t want to hear Michelle’s stories of what she’s found in the toilet bowl over the years…

We talk about UFOs and aliens and classic films and synthetic meat… It’s the future don’t cha know!

There’s the Westall case, the pool that floats between two buildings, the alien spy story and the woman who found her dead husbands Euro 96 ticket in her rolls of fat – so much more. That’s what happens when you read the news – INFORMATION OVERLOAD!

So, the best thing to do is listen to the episode – it’s much more fun that reading the news (or this blog post).

Why do people pretend to be someone they’re not?

Have you ever pretended to be someone else? Michelle hasn’t – although there was the time she told some d*ck who was hitting on her in a bar that she was rich because she produced Barbie Girl for Aqua. Does that count?

This week, Geordie and Michelle wanted to look at people who pretend to be someone else and honestly, the two cases the pair bring to the Eavesdroppin’ table are nothing alike, more than both are bizarre and strange. Totally up the Eavesdroppin’ alley, then.

So… Case Number 1 is the seemingly motiveless cases of con artist and impersonator Samantha Azzopardi. She’s Australian, she often pretends to be a 14 year old, even though she’s in her mid 30s, she often claims she’s pregnant, or a Russian gymnast or a talent scout for Pixar – and she’s confused and baffled authorities all over the world with claims that she’s a sex-trafficking victim who’s escaped from a life of abuse. It’s heartbreaking, really, when you think about it because there’s something more profoundly disturbing going on that just a woman wanting to create mischief… Best listen to the episode if you want to know more.

Then there’s the gender fraud case of Gayle Newland. If you managed to miss this one in the British news, you can catch all the details in the episode, which will include things like: Gayle pretended to be a guy called Kye to bag the girl she fancied called Chloe… And in a bizarre twist of events, which include bandages, blindfolds and handcuffs, Chloe and ‘Kye’ had SEX. And then it all gets weird from there… Sex, lies and strap-ons is all we’re gonna say.

Get listening. Get sharing. Get liking. Tell your friends but most of all, get Eavesdroppin’!
