Would you eat a live cat? Tarrare did. And if you don’t know who Tarrare is, he was only the grossest man alive in France in the 1700s. With an insatiable appetite and a stench that lingered, Tarrare was an unpleasant anomaly whose legend lives on. More than that, he had stretchy mouth that could fit a dozen eggs in it, he ate live cats and maybe even nibbled dead people. Geordie takes a deep dive into this human house of horrors…

Michelle follows with a look at some strange eating habits starting with Lisa the crazy cat lady. Not only does she love cats, but she also loves licking them – and eating their fur. Listen now to find out if Lisa gets furballs… Michelle also looks at three ladies in the UK who love to munch on sponges, and a pair of twins who respectively enjoy eating candles and old books. Listen to their stories and Michelle’s hot takes on pica…

So pop on your headphones, grab a brown lemonade and join Geordie & Michelle for this week’s episode, plus a voice note from Janika from Amsterdam, chit-chat about cardigans, The British Podcast Awards and more, only on Eavesdroppin’ podcast. And remember, wherever you are, whatever you do, just keep Eavesdroppin’!

The post 5: STRANGE LOVE: The man addicted to loving on his car plus food hoarding, rat hoarding and a missing loved one appeared first on Eavesdroppin' Podcast.

The giggling gerties are back on Eavesdroppin’ and this week the girls talk weird addictions… Not before chatting about bits n’ bobs, including a news story from Tameera the Modern Mystic about moss piglets on the moon…

So let’s jump right in… What is a tardigrade and why does it look like a poo on legs? Who is Neil the Scientist? What is a Sea Monkey? Why are Iced VoVos mentioned? Do Geordie & Michelle know what a trident is ?

And now we get to the meat of the ep: weird addictions… This week we look at Carrie from Colorado who is addicted to drinking her own piss… Why would anyone drink their own wee? Would you bathe your eyes in wee? Can piss make your skin look younger? What is a neti pot? What is nasal drinking? Can drinking wee cure cancer? Is urine therapy actually a thing? Is wee a miracle cure for everything? Is piss actually medicine? Can a poo transplant save lives?

Then we move on to pica, an eating disorder common among pregnant women and children who crave – and eat – things that aren’t food. Sand, mud, crayons, rubber, chalk, detergent, soap, sponges, cigarette butts, paint… that’s pica. Listen to learn more and to find out who ate foam mattresses as a child…

Then there’s the story of Casie from Tennessee… she’s addicted to carrying round the ashes of her dead husband… to the supermarket, out to dinner, to the movies, to bed… or is she addicted to something more? And then we wrap up the ep with a woman addicted to bee stings. Yes, Margaret from Kentucky is addicted to stinging herself with bees, more than 100 times a week, despite the fact she knows the bee will die. Don’t drink your juice while listening to the episode and keep Eavesdroppin’…..
