I had a lovely new client, a couple of new clients, actually. And I had a very amazing session with Tim from Embrace Breath, who we had in on the show recently. Yeah, I had a DNA reset session. [00:00:57] Speaker A: DNA reset session. What's all that about then? Well, just how do you do a DNA reset? Proct you with little things like when you're getting. [00:01:07] Speaker B: It's just about, you know, undoing certain patterns that have come from your ancestors and belief systems and undoing those and creating new ones. [00:01:18] Speaker A: So is this more of a psychological session than a physical session? [00:01:21] Speaker B: I think it's more. More of. Yeah, yeah, absolutely, yeah. [00:01:24] Speaker A: More mental, more talking, things like that. [00:01:26] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. More of a spiritual kind of. Yeah. So Tim would be able to explain it more. And I'll talk more about that in a minute. We do have an interesting. I had an interesting idea, actually. It was given to me. Well, it was suggested to me by one of our listeners. Shout out to Ren. [00:01:44] Speaker A: Shout out Ren. That's also one of our favorite names of the musician. Have you heard Ren the musician? [00:01:50] Speaker B: Yes, and Ren is telling me I have to. Yeah, I have to add Ren to the music lineup anyway. [00:01:57] Speaker A: So definitely. [00:01:58] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:01:59] Speaker A: Find one of his songs on there. Chuck it on. [00:02:01] Speaker B: It's in my. It's my request thing. So I'm waiting for it to be added. So I wanted to talk about psychological and behavioral addictions. The, you know, the really bizarre ones. [00:02:11] Speaker A: I have heard there's quite a few bizarre ones out there. I can say that I personally know a few people that do these. [00:02:18] Speaker B: Okay. [00:02:18] Speaker A: Also, I may have done some of these in the past when I was younger. [00:02:22] Speaker B: Yep, yep, yep. Right. And. Okay, we'll get more into that. And so I also. Unusual substance addictions. So I don't know if you've seen. What is that show? Wait, where is it? There's a show they have. It's called something. I know it's here somewhere. Think of it in a minute. But yeah, it's got all these unusual addictions that people have. And so we're going to cover some of those in tonight's show. Now, when we're talking about extreme, documented, extreme addictions. I saw the show. I think it's called My Strange Addiction. [00:03:02] Speaker A: Is that right? That sounds about right, actually. Now you say it. [00:03:05] Speaker B: Yeah. So on there, I will touch a bit on it now because it sounds a bit cool and interesting. Eating toilet paper. [00:03:14] Speaker A: Toilet paper. [00:03:15] Speaker B: Toilet paper. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A woman named Kesha was addicted to eating toilet paper up to a roll a day. She preferred to eat two ply for the texture. [00:03:25] Speaker A: Two ply. Now that is softer. [00:03:28] Speaker B: Three ply. I mean, she likes the heart of it. She likes the two ply. Yep, yep, yep. But there's so many weird ones out there. And if anyone knows of any, please send a message to our socials and I can check it out and mention it. [00:03:43] Speaker A: Our next one, drinking gasoline. [00:03:46] Speaker B: Drinking gasoline. [00:03:47] Speaker A: Now, I've heard of people even like the smell. [00:03:49] Speaker B: Well, I've heard of people that love the smell. So you're the lover. [00:03:52] Speaker A: I love the smell of bleach. [00:03:53] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:03:54] Speaker A: It smells like clean. [00:03:54] Speaker B: It does smell like clean. When I worked at Sir Charles Gardner Hospital, I used to love the smell of bleach, but we weren't really allowed to use it because bleach actually stops the good bacteria as well as the bad bacteria and you need the good bacteria to fight the germs. That's interesting. [00:04:08] Speaker A: I didn't know that. [00:04:09] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you have to use like a. [00:04:11] Speaker A: What? Like Dettol or something? Does that. Does that keep the good bacteria? [00:04:14] Speaker B: What would keep the good bacteria? Yeah, so they have like an all purpose antibacterial kind of thing. But yeah, we weren't allowed to. Only certain areas we're allowed to use it. But yeah, predominantly no bleach. But yes, I used to love bleach especially. It does. It does. Unless you use it wrong because you know about heat and bleach and stuff like that. And it smells. Oh, okay. That's another thing. We'll get into that. That's one of the things. [00:04:39] Speaker A: Well, we're talking about Shannon from My Strange Addiction. [00:04:42] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:43] Speaker A: Apparently he regularly drank gasoline. [00:04:45] Speaker B: Yes. [00:04:45] Speaker A: Despite the toxic effect, she couldn't stop describing it as having a sweet burn. [00:04:51] Speaker B: What is that? Oh, my God. Seriously? [00:04:54] Speaker A: I wouldn't have imagined gas to be sweet. [00:04:56] Speaker B: And I think gas is. Well, it's expensive enough without drinking it. [00:05:02] Speaker A: Yeah, you can't drink it. Not you. [00:05:03] Speaker B: No, no, no, no. So, yeah, we're Gonna. We're gonna discuss. Yeah. Extreme addictions and some unusual mental health conditions. And there's quite a few mental health conditions. So hair pulling is. I'm gonna say that's a strange addiction, hair pulling. I mean, you know, give me a safe word. Let's go. Kumquat. No, no. Well, it's called trichotillomania, a compulsive urge to pull out hair from the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes or other areas. I'm gonna say I've actually come. Yeah, let's tickle my mania. I actually did have this with anxiety and stuff and I would pull my hair. Yeah. Especially leading up to getting married. I can see that. Yeah. [00:05:54] Speaker A: No, I can. But I. I think a lot. A lot of women. [00:05:56] Speaker B: Yeah. You know, you just split ends. [00:05:58] Speaker A: You just start playing Y. [00:06:00] Speaker B: You do. And then it was like, I don't know, it was the thing. So it was one of the things. I don't do it anymore. Yeah, Yep. Don't do it anymore. But that stemmed from stuff to do with my mother. So that was a thing. That was one of my things. [00:06:13] Speaker A: I used to do the eyebrows as well. [00:06:14] Speaker B: I used to. Yeah, I used to do this as I'm reading that and like, I'm like, oh, I feel called out right now. The eyebrows and the eyelashes thing is something I never did. [00:06:23] Speaker A: Not eyelashes, but I just play with my eyebrows and pull them out. [00:06:26] Speaker B: Like if you've got some killer long. [00:06:27] Speaker A: Eyebrow hairs that I'm not. You can't get any grip with your fingernails anyway. [00:06:31] Speaker B: Oh, well, if you got some killer long eyebrow hairs, you need to pull those out anyway. And I know a few people with those. Not naming anyone, but. Yeah, so there's so many. And we're going to touch on those. I'd like to know if anyone does have any they want to share because, you know, it'd be great to get some real time info and real stories to share. So hit us up on the socials or messenger and if you're one of the listener that are in my messages, then message me and we can talk about it while we're on air. [00:07:07] Speaker A: Get into those DMS guys. [00:07:09] Speaker B: Yeah. Yep, yep. We do have the new issue of the IPL Inspiring Passionate Lives magazine coming out this month.

So tonight I'm going to start off with all the small things because this is all the things at ipl. Tuesday night, you're here with Jen, Jen and Liz. [00:08:07] Speaker A: Let's go. For all the small things. Your voice, your community station. You are listening to IPL Radio. [00:08:17] Speaker B: You're back in the studio for all the things at IPL Radio. You're joined by Jen, Jen and Liz. And we're talking about unusual people, mental health issues, and strange and weird addictions tonight. And so we did touch on a few. That was Monkey Wrench by Foo Fighters, by the way. And I love me some fooies. You know I do. They always make a sneaky entrance into the show every week. Okay, so, Liz, what have you found for me? What are we doing? Addictions. You want to go Addictions? The bizarre ones. [00:08:55] Speaker A: I think, I think we keep going with yours because I think there's a few crossovers. [00:08:58] Speaker B: Oh, okay. All right. All right. [00:09:00] Speaker A: So. And then I reckon we pick the ones out. [00:09:01] Speaker B: Okay, let's, let's, let's do that. Let's do that. All right. So what did we touch on? [00:09:05] Speaker A: We touched on the gasoline and Gasoline hair pulling. I feel like there's a trichotillomania. [00:09:12] Speaker B: Trichotillomania. I know, I've had that a few times. Yes. So let's go to the next one. [00:09:20] Speaker A: So the next one would be number two. Skin picking. Dermatillomania. Do they all end with, oh, is. [00:09:28] Speaker B: That like popping pimples and stuff? [00:09:30] Speaker A: It's. It's obsessive skin picking. Yes. [00:09:33] Speaker B: Right. I have. [00:09:34] Speaker A: You know when you get wounds and you keep scratching your face? [00:09:36] Speaker B: Actually, yeah. No, I have seen people, they just. They'll talk and they'll scratch. Not always. Not always. Drug intoxicated people. I have known a few. [00:09:47] Speaker A: Some people just get it. [00:09:47] Speaker B: Crackers that do that. [00:09:48] Speaker A: But anxiety. [00:09:50] Speaker B: Yeah, some people, and I know this is in my family, that they will just pick and scratch at their arms and. And yeah, just. That is. That is a thing. The next one. A pago faglia. Fagia. [00:10:05] Speaker A: Pagophasia. [00:10:06] Speaker B: Pagophagia. There we go. That sounds a little bit more professional. Chewing ice. When I was pregnant with my youngest, beautiful son, Tyler, I used to have to chew ice. [00:10:19] Speaker A: Maybe you also had an iron deficiency then as well. [00:10:24] Speaker B: It can become a compulsion. Well, I've got to say, I don't think I chew ice now. I don't. [00:10:31] Speaker A: Well, it could have just been. Maybe it was just a pregnancy. Pregnancy thing, you know, they may be taking all your eyes. [00:10:36] Speaker B: And I was obsessed with beef jerky. With him as well. Beef jerky. And oh, originally, oh, so weird. Now I'm venturing off into weird pregnancies. [00:10:44] Speaker A: It's not like weird pickles and peanut butter or something disgusting. [00:10:47] Speaker B: No, no, no, no, no. Beef jerky. I don't think I had anything weird. But anyway, that's, that's completely different. I have seen this on Hooked on the look or something on Snapchat. You know those stories, people that addicted to tanning. It's called tanorexia. It's an obsessive need to tan the skin and often tied to body image issues. I think nowadays there are so many body image issues and because of the technology and the availability to things, now people are going to extremes. And one of them I've seen, people will actually tan so much that they look like a different race. [00:11:30] Speaker A: And then in the UK they turn themselves black. [00:11:35] Speaker B: Yeah, they do. And do you know what? Some of them have actually come out as identifying as South African or. I can't do that, but they do. That is apparently a. This ties into the mental health thingy. No, no, it is a body image thing. [00:11:48] Speaker A: You're not born there and your family. [00:11:50] Speaker B: I get that. I get that. It's not like same with the gender, though. [00:11:54] Speaker A: We all know that. That's not a thing. [00:11:56] Speaker B: What's that? [00:11:56] Speaker A: It's just people being stupid and taking the mickey. [00:11:58] Speaker B: Oh, what, they want to marry their cars? [00:12:00] Speaker A: No, like, they were like, I'm pretty. You know, they, they, they go, oh, I'm gonna. [00:12:03] Speaker B: There is a thing. [00:12:04] Speaker A: Now I'm more. I'm a kitty cat. [00:12:06] Speaker B: Oh, no. Yeah, no, I did see those people get pulled over and they said, I identify as a cat. And the police officer said, well, in the laws of whatever state they're in, cats are not allowed to drive. Will you please come with me? And then it's like, produce your license. [00:12:20] Speaker A: Says cats can't drive. [00:12:22] Speaker B: Well, hold license, can they? So then they, they actually boycotted this person who was just obviously trying to be a smart ass. [00:12:30] Speaker A: It sounds like it. Most people just do it. People do it, that kind of thing to be. [00:12:33] Speaker B: But then the police officer and handled it so well and was politically correct with his answers, but then was able to, you know, was going to. Yeah, very, very smart. Next one is Eating non food item items. So picker. Yeah. Pick up, pick up, pick up cravings for things like dirt, chalk, paper, soap, and even glass. [00:12:56] Speaker A: I guess toilet paper would come into that one as well. [00:12:58] Speaker B: Toilet paper would probably. [00:12:59] Speaker A: Gasoline would probably also come up. That's not a food item. [00:13:03] Speaker B: No, no, no. Especially not at those prices. So obviously, as we were talking about the. What is it? The one I was just talking about with tanorexia. Tanorexia. Plastic surgery addiction is very real and very common now. So the intense need for repeated cosmetic procedures often linked to body dysmorphia. It's another stem of the body dysmorphia thing. Yeah, yeah, yep. So that's, that's interesting. And that can stem to a lot of different procedures and then result in a lot of different looking people. Yeah. So. [00:13:38] Speaker A: Well, plastic surgery does not always go well. [00:13:40] Speaker B: Oh, here's one. Here's one for the listeners. Come on. I want to know who's got this one. Self. Titus. Obsessive selfie taking. [00:13:51] Speaker A: Selfitis. Compulsive need to take and post selfies constantly. [00:13:57] Speaker B: Constantly. [00:13:58] Speaker A: I feel like I've seen some of those people out in the wild. [00:13:59] Speaker B: I think, I think so. I think I've seen them on Facebook. Here's one that could have tied to previous show discussions about online dating and dating apps. Online dating app addiction, not just for hookups. Some get addicted to the validation loop of swiping and matching. And I believe that social experiment that I went on, that one that, I. [00:14:26] Speaker A: Mean, I don't think you definitely. Validation. [00:14:29] Speaker B: I didn't. But they were trying to get validation the whole time. Hello. Look how many likes I've got. Oh, please, ladies, tell me people that I'm matching with. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, crazy. Crazy. I, I don't mean to say crazy, but you know, it was a bit of a. Bit of a weird look. [00:14:46] Speaker A: We're crazy. We're allowed to say. [00:14:47] Speaker B: We are allowed to say it. Yeah. Okay. Relationship or love addiction. So an attention, an intense need to be in a relationship, often even at the cost of personal well being. [00:14:58] Speaker A: You know, I do know a lot. [00:14:59] Speaker B: Of people like that. [00:15:00] Speaker A: They just don't seem to be able. [00:15:02] Speaker B: To be with them, see it for what it is, and then they can't let it go. Yeah, yeah. [00:15:07] Speaker A: You know, to be with someone else because they don't feel comfortable. [00:15:11] Speaker B: No, I know people. Some people have to jump from one relationship to another. And to be honest, I think old me years ago probably was kind of fooled into them. But I think with a lot of reflection And a lot of growth. I needed to have the relationship with myself and figure out who I was on my own this time around. And. Yeah. And. And not. You know, I was so fixated on that white picket fence and the. The happy ever after where it wasn't so happy anymore, and I wouldn't. I didn't want to let it go. And that was at my own demise in a previous relationship. [00:15:54] Speaker A: I mean, that, again, is about getting. [00:15:56] Speaker B: A lot of people have done that. [00:15:58] Speaker A: When you. [00:15:58] Speaker B: Yeah. When you're so wanting that happy ever after, you just will make all these. Your boundaries will just dissipate and flex. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And you'll end up completely changing yourself. [00:16:12] Speaker A: As well in the process. [00:16:14] Speaker B: So. Yeah. And, I mean, look, if you're listening and you're. You're recognizing any of these things, it would be an idea to even get them addressed. And, you know, even you can turn something that has gone horribly blurry into something positive again. You just need to get the right help sometimes. [00:16:34] Speaker A: You just got to look at it from an output side. For sex. [00:16:36] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:37] Speaker A: Try and use someone else's. [00:16:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:16:39] Speaker A: Brain. [00:16:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. And, I mean, there is help out there. You can get back what you had if you re. If it was real, I guess. But. Yeah. You should never contort or blur things so you can be with someone because it ends up being toxic for. For everyone, even. [00:16:54] Speaker A: You don't want to change yourself either. You don't want to change yourself so much to fit into that person's idea. [00:17:00] Speaker B: No, that's right. [00:17:01] Speaker A: Because then you're just betraying yourself. [00:17:02] Speaker B: Correct. Correct. So stay true to yourself. These are obviously extreme addictions and mental health issues that we are discussing. I did think it would be quite entertaining because they are so bizarre and out there. Sorry if it is triggering to anyone, but. Yeah, we'll keep going. [00:17:24] Speaker A: I'm gonna go right back to number seven now because you skipped straight. [00:17:27] Speaker B: Oh, I did. I'm. I'm sorry. What did I. What did I do? Oh, yeah. Yep. Yep. Oh, okay. Yeah. [00:17:32] Speaker A: Oh, you know. [00:17:34] Speaker B: Okay. Right. All right. So chewing and eating sponges or foam. So people develop a habit of chewing household sponges or furniture foam. I saw that show My Strange Addiction. The lady was eating the contents of car seats. Car seats. The foam. It had to be out of car seats. [00:17:54] Speaker A: The packing. You know, the packing bubbles you get, you know, corn starch or something. Put them in your mouth, they melt up. Yes. So I. I had that weird. [00:18:03] Speaker B: You had it. [00:18:04] Speaker A: I had that weird habit of chewing and eating sponges and things. [00:18:07] Speaker B: Did You. [00:18:07] Speaker A: When I was younger. [00:18:09] Speaker B: SpongeBob. [00:18:12] Speaker A: I don't know why, but when I was younger. [00:18:15] Speaker B: Do you recognize the time that you were doing it and was there something significant? [00:18:20] Speaker A: I recognized I was doing it? [00:18:22] Speaker B: No. But was there something happening in your life that made you turn to. [00:18:25] Speaker A: Oh, there was definitely lots of things happening. All the things, all the things were happening at that point in life, you know? [00:18:30] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:18:31] Speaker A: That was my nice little turnaround area of life between the ages of 10 and 20. [00:18:35] Speaker B: Oh, we've had those. We've had those. [00:18:38] Speaker A: So I decided to quit. [00:18:39] Speaker B: You. You gave up the sponges cold turkey. [00:18:42] Speaker A: Did you go delicious? Were they really? [00:18:45] Speaker B: Can I. Okay. What was delicious about a sponge? [00:18:48] Speaker A: I'm. [00:18:49] Speaker B: I. Please tell me. [00:18:50] Speaker A: I can't even explain it. No, I don't think you could explain. [00:18:53] Speaker B: It for me to go to a strange addiction IGA and go buy a sponge right now. I don't think you could explain. [00:19:00] Speaker A: You just put water. I just put water in it. I'll put it under. Oh, so it wet. [00:19:03] Speaker B: Oh, you didn't swallow it? [00:19:05] Speaker A: No, I just spat it out. [00:19:06] Speaker B: Okay. [00:19:06] Speaker A: I just like the smell and the flavor and really, I don't know why that's so weird. And then what? I got really, really, really bad tonsilitis. And it turned out it was cuz of that. Cuz I was eating my sponge. [00:19:17] Speaker B: Cuz. Can you. Can we look up? [00:19:20] Speaker A: And I stopped cold turkey. [00:19:22] Speaker B: Can we look up, please? If these have like health reactions, like depends what you. They would do. Yeah, yeah. So. So there are other unusual and non traditional dependency, non traditional substances. So there are documented cases of people drinking nail polish or perfume. [00:19:43] Speaker A: Now see, I feel like that I'm. [00:19:45] Speaker B: Addicted to buying perfume and wearing. I'm addicted to scents and I love smells and nice smells. Obviously not bad ones. But I have a perfume collection right now. My favorite one is Nyla. The Rihanna perfume and the Goda pheromone oil. Oh my God. [00:20:08] Speaker A: I've been trying to find some new, new perfumes and aftershaves. [00:20:11] Speaker B: I've got two in my bag. So I always carry two perfumes. Maybe I've got an addiction to perfumes. But not drinking them. Definitely not. Although there is an alcohol content in there, I'm sure, but yes. No, let's not drink them. So yeah, sniffing gasoline is one. I have heard of bleach and sharpies. [00:20:32] Speaker A: Like smelling them. [00:20:33] Speaker B: Smelling them. Now I've heard of that. I've heard of that one. [00:20:36] Speaker A: Look, I'm a weird one. [00:20:37] Speaker B: I worked in a servo. There were a lot of people that used to like sniffing the petrol. [00:20:41] Speaker A: They just have a certain smell, you know, Some. I don't know, maybe. [00:20:44] Speaker B: I don't know about diesel. [00:20:45] Speaker A: Maybe it's something that we go through as a kid that. [00:20:47] Speaker B: Yeah, we just. [00:20:49] Speaker A: Something happens. [00:20:50] Speaker B: As long as you don't progress to the names. [00:20:53] Speaker A: It's not sniffing that's huffing. [00:20:55] Speaker B: Yeah, that's. Yeah, that's. That's a totally different show, that one. Okay. This one, I do know an old family friend, when she was pregnant, she would eat the plaster off the walls. She would stand there doing the dishes and break plaster off the windowsill and eat it when she was pregnant only. And there is an actual obsession addiction to eating couch cushions or drywall. Completely different textures there. So I don't think they come under. [00:21:21] Speaker A: The same between couch cushions and dry. [00:21:23] Speaker B: It's a real. It's a real but rare condition. And it's tied to sensory cravings or trauma. So maybe the sensory cravings come out with pregnancy and maybe different traumas, such as your sponge thing. That's why I asked if you recognize that time period, if there was a trauma that led you to maybe, you know, bond with a sponge in. In a. In a chewing kind of composite. You know what I mean? [00:21:47] Speaker A: Like, I just think that no one recognized my weirdness when I was younger because I was so. And put myself in my bedroom and isolated myself away from everyone. [00:21:55] Speaker B: Look, I recognize your weirdness. That's why I think you're a great co host. I think you're awesome. And we did talk about interesting. You do you do we talk about all the things here at ipl. Bleach or soap ingestion. So compulsive cleaning addiction. This is something to do with ingestion, meaning like. [00:22:15] Speaker A: Or clean obsessively. That's different though. [00:22:17] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:22:17] Speaker A: Ingesting and cleaning. [00:22:18] Speaker B: Anyone has OCD and wants to clean obsessively league, please message me. Hello? Hello? Hello. Okay, this is a weird one. Addiction to blood. So it's called Renfeld's syndrome. A psychological condition where people feel compelled to drink or see blood. [00:22:39] Speaker A: Now, see, I feel like this is. [00:22:40] Speaker B: Mixed up, tied to the vampire one. [00:22:43] Speaker A: Yes. Where people believe that they are a vampire. [00:22:45] Speaker B: They do. [00:22:46] Speaker A: They can't go out in the south sunlight. [00:22:47] Speaker B: Yes. [00:22:48] Speaker A: Where is that one compulsion to drink blood? Right near the end. [00:22:51] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I do have a list. I did prepare. Yeah, I did prepare some notes. And obviously we can, you know, come up with things on the spot. So. Okay, what about sensory and ritual addictions? So things that revolve around sensations or repeated behaviors. I. When I was a teenager, one of my best friends was. Had OCD and would have to touch certain things in the house. Like a certain amount of times. [00:23:17] Speaker A: Yes. [00:23:17] Speaker B: Before leaving the house. [00:23:19] Speaker A: Is this just an autistic thing? [00:23:20] Speaker B: And then when we left the house, walking to, say, school or wherever we're going, couldn't walk on the cracks. And you know those. [00:23:29] Speaker A: Step on a crack, you know, back. [00:23:32] Speaker B: You know those covers that like the long cement covers and they have the two kind of lug plug things, the black ones. Okay. She'd have to stand on those two plugs and do 1, 2, 3. 1, 2, 3. Yeah, like that. [00:23:46] Speaker A: Like a certain number of times. [00:23:47] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:23:48] Speaker A: Right. [00:23:48] Speaker B: For her to walk, that was obviously a sensory thing. Yeah. So she couldn't do it and wouldn't feel right unless we had to do that three times and this four. It was weird. [00:23:55] Speaker A: I used to have a thing too where I used to have to tap my finger. If I tap my fingers, it would have to be a certain number of times. It would have to be even. [00:24:00] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. So my daughter Brianna, when you're watching tv, it has to be on an even number, the volume. Are you a thing like that? I'm. I'm like notice things like that. If it's too loud, I'm going to go to whatever number I need to hear. [00:24:14] Speaker A: I notice things like that. I don't notice small things like that. [00:24:17] Speaker B: But it does annoy people. [00:24:18] Speaker A: But it would annoy me probably, if I noticed it. [00:24:20] Speaker B: Okay. What. Does it have to be odd or even with you? [00:24:23] Speaker A: I would have to be even. [00:24:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:24:24] Speaker A: See, that's odd. [00:24:28] Speaker B: Okay, so what else. What else have you got over there, Liz? We got. [00:24:31] Speaker A: What do we got? We've got an addiction to lip balm or Vaseline. [00:24:34] Speaker B: I think that might come under or something other. [00:24:37] Speaker A: Hi. [00:24:37] Speaker B: Hi. Hi. [00:24:38] Speaker A: We're not talking about lubrication here. We said Vaseline. Some can't fully function without applying it constantly. You know, I've heard of love this being. [00:24:47] Speaker B: Oh, I need the song. Vaseline. [00:24:48] Speaker A: African American thing where they just smother their kids with Vaseline and their hair and apparently it just keeps their skin amazing. Beautiful. [00:24:57] Speaker B: Do you know what the new crazy. [00:24:58] Speaker A: Them and they just. They look like they're smacking their kids lotion on. [00:25:02] Speaker B: Smack my kids up. Yeah. No, the new thing is the castor oil for your skin. [00:25:06] Speaker A: Yes, Castor oil. Yep. [00:25:08] Speaker B: Yeah, Very good. [00:25:09] Speaker A: And good your muscles. [00:25:11] Speaker B: Yeah. But it also breaks down calcification. Say if you've Got buildup or tumors and things like that. Even in your belly button is for digestive things and other health. Health related issues. Interesting. There is a thing there. [00:25:25] Speaker A: Oh, that next one is just a put off for me. [00:25:28] Speaker B: No, that wouldn't, wouldn't be. Oh gosh. Okay. I mean, is this your other half? No, not even. [00:25:35] Speaker A: So you guys need to know what we're talking. [00:25:37] Speaker B: Oh God. [00:25:37] Speaker A: Number 717 smelling dirty laundry or body odor. No, I was looking at Jen and going, you know what? Some people. No other half smell intoxicating. [00:25:49] Speaker B: Oh, smell. But I don't want to smell their undies. [00:25:51] Speaker A: I didn't say undies. I said body odor. You know. [00:25:54] Speaker B: Well, that's a pheromone thing. I think, I don't, I don't necessarily believe it has to be body odor. I could. You could smell someone you love and then their smell is intoxicating. Yeah. [00:26:04] Speaker A: But I will say my partner comes home from work, he doesn't smell nice. [00:26:07] Speaker B: Yeah, but it's attractive. [00:26:10] Speaker A: He does because he has attractive pheromones. Well, he smells like diesel and sweat. [00:26:15] Speaker B: Yeah, right. [00:26:15] Speaker A: If someone, if you were to go past him, you'd be like, oh, he smells like sweat. But I had to go past him and I go, oh, pheromones. [00:26:21] Speaker B: Oh, pheromones. Yeah, see that's different. That's not the stench thing. [00:26:24] Speaker A: That's not. [00:26:25] Speaker B: I'm okay with 30s. I'm okay with smelling your partner and getting the pheromones. But I don't want to say sniff the grundies. No. [00:26:31] Speaker A: Yeah, no, I'd never do that. [00:26:33] Speaker B: This is gone into places I didn't plan on. People do apologize. What else? Using Q tips deeply in the ears. [00:26:41] Speaker A: Or even, even hearing you say, actually. [00:26:43] Speaker B: I'm going to tell you something. My ex husband used Q tips like six times a day in his ears. And I'm like, that is an obsession. He just likes really clean ears. But honestly, I think it actually damages your ears. [00:26:59] Speaker A: It can. [00:27:00] Speaker B: So hopefully he's listening and knows that it is a pressure or scratch can create a physical reward sensation despite the risks. That was the attraction there. Maybe, I don't know. [00:27:12] Speaker A: So our friend came over from England. [00:27:14] Speaker B: She's the Q tips here. [00:27:16] Speaker A: Oh, and she slipped and she was using she burst area drum because she pushed the Q tip too far and she had to go to hospital. [00:27:22] Speaker B: Hospital. Have you heard of people like losing the Q tip tip in their ear and having to get it out with like tweezers or go to the doctors? [00:27:31] Speaker A: No, I have not. But that would I would not like that. [00:27:35] Speaker B: That would be scary. Yeah. Gross. [00:27:38] Speaker A: Yeah, I. I don't even like putting earbuds in my ears half the time. They feel. I don't know. [00:27:42] Speaker B: Yeah, I have to do it after I wash my hair. I have to like, clean my. Like you don't stick it in. But I have to. After I wash my hair, I like to clean my ear. [00:27:49] Speaker A: Do you not ever find if you like so like, like stick it in there, it just gives you like this weird feeling in your throat. [00:27:55] Speaker B: What are you sticking in where? Liz, come on. [00:27:58] Speaker A: Look, I've got very sensitive ear, nose, throat. Okay? [00:28:03] Speaker B: They have doctors for that. For everything else, there's your partner and his weird pheromones. All right, what else have we got? [00:28:09] Speaker A: Liz, watching sad or disturbing videos repeatedly. [00:28:15] Speaker B: Or emotional masochism can drive this. I've heard of people watching, like serial killer things and going to bed and people going, I reckon they're serial killers, but how do they not dream weird, effed up dreams? I didn't say the F word. [00:28:32] Speaker A: I know a lot of people that love true crime. [00:28:34] Speaker B: Yeah, true crime. True crime is interesting because it's true. [00:28:37] Speaker A: What? [00:28:37] Speaker B: But I don't want. [00:28:38] Speaker A: It is interesting, but it's also freaky because it's true. [00:28:40] Speaker B: Yeah, it is, but I don't want to watch it before bed. Exactly. Yeah. Hello? Hello? Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:28:46] Speaker A: Okay, but this just says, watching sad or disturbing videos repeatedly. Yeah, they're trying to get themselves into a bad frame of mind. [00:28:55] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, sorry, I just got some. Please. If you're gonna send me messages, people, please keep them clean. Clean. Even though we're discussing weird things. Okay. [00:29:07] Speaker A: We cannot put it above the M rating here. We have to be clean for radio, guys. [00:29:11] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, yeah. Please keep it clean. I'm gonna skip past that one. [00:29:17] Speaker A: Number 20, addiction to popping pimples or watching others do it. [00:29:21] Speaker B: See, I'm not a pimple popper, but I was known to be a blackhead popper back in the day. But I don't really. Oh, my God. There's a big difference. Pimples are very unpredictable. No, was. I'm racist with my popping. No, I don't know. Back in the day. I mean, come on. But pimples are unpredictable and they splatter. Yeah, Blackheads were like, they're like a worm. And it was like, no, no. They come out like a little tube or a little. Yeah, that was interesting. That was quite satisfying. [00:29:51] Speaker A: My whiteheads come out like that, though. [00:29:52] Speaker B: Yeah, whiteheads are different. [00:29:54] Speaker A: They come up like that too. Like a Worm. [00:29:55] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But that's. That's different. Pimples are like, nah, that's gross. [00:29:59] Speaker A: But they spread everywhere. [00:30:00] Speaker B: Oh, Still, I don't know. I just spread. Not interested in popping pimples at all. Blackheads. If I look at them, I need to get them out of your face. [00:30:08] Speaker A: If it's really big on your face and you can, like, really see it. [00:30:11] Speaker B: I talk to people's backheads. If I see them, I'm like, I cannot unsee them. [00:30:16] Speaker A: That reminds me of Austin fans. [00:30:23] Speaker B: All right, we might be getting a little bit carried away here. How about we turn it a little bit around and do some Beautiful Crazy by Luke Combs so we can get back to being beautiful and forget about the blackheads? What do you reckon? [00:30:35] Speaker A: I'm still going to be beautiful crazy? [00:30:36] Speaker B: You are beautiful crazy. [00:30:39] Speaker A: Your voice, your community station. You are listening to IPL radio. [00:30:46] Speaker B: And that was Ghetto Gospel from Tupac and John. Love that one. [00:30:51] Speaker A: Cheeky. Still alive, Tupac. A lot of rumors. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Oh, that's a rabbit hole. That's a rabbit hole. Yeah. Yeah, that's. [00:30:59] Speaker A: We're not gonna go there tonight. [00:31:00] Speaker B: We won't go there. I do have my theories. I do have some. Yeah. We were talking about weird and strange addictions. [00:31:07] Speaker A: Extreme addictions. [00:31:09] Speaker B: We were. And I have discovered I've got a few myself, so. [00:31:14] Speaker A: Yes. [00:31:15] Speaker B: Yeah. I mean, I may have, you know, grown past a few. And we did discover you've had a few yourself. [00:31:23] Speaker A: I won't say no. [00:31:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:25] Speaker A: Because I do love the smell of bleach. [00:31:28] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:28] Speaker A: And I used to like eating sponges. [00:31:32] Speaker B: Sponges. I know what I'm getting you for your birthday. [00:31:38] Speaker A: Christmas, actually. You remember when you used to get those big packing boxes and they used to come with a packing foam? [00:31:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:31:44] Speaker A: They taste like corn. [00:31:45] Speaker B: No, broken. [00:31:47] Speaker A: They're really dry. What is that? [00:31:49] Speaker B: What are they made of? Check it out. Check it out. [00:31:51] Speaker A: Probably. I'm pretty sure they have. I'm pretty sure they're good for you, actually. [00:31:54] Speaker B: Think so, darling? That's why they're in boxes. [00:31:56] Speaker A: Are they called packing peanuts? [00:31:57] Speaker B: I don't know. Calling them peanuts would make people want to eat them, I'm sure. [00:32:02] Speaker A: No, you get it. [00:32:03] Speaker B: I'm gonna start from the bottom here. [00:32:05] Speaker A: See? Plant based materials like cornstarch. [00:32:08] Speaker B: Really? Oh, okay. So they're not toxic. [00:32:11] Speaker A: They're not toxic. [00:32:12] Speaker B: Okay. All right. Well, there are other way, other obsessions or addictions. There are people that are obsessed with pony play. So one woman was addicted to dressing up and living her life as a pony, complete with Bridles, reins, and trotting in competitions. I wonder if she found a partner. [00:32:28] Speaker A: Okay, now, I've heard about three of these. [00:32:31] Speaker B: What? [00:32:31] Speaker A: One is Pony Play, one is Kitty Play. [00:32:34] Speaker B: Oh, what is. [00:32:35] Speaker A: Another one is Baby Play. [00:32:36] Speaker B: Okay, I've heard those. They're sexual ones. But I have heard of what is the Fluffies or the. What's the thing people go to school as a Fluffy. What is that? [00:32:47] Speaker A: Oh, furry. [00:32:48] Speaker B: Furry. That's it. [00:32:49] Speaker A: I think it's meant to be, like half person, half animal. It's another one of those things, like I identify as not a person. Okay, yeah, half person, half animal. [00:33:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Right, so it's furry. Yeah. I knew it was a F word. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, what about drinking air freshener? Another person would drink sprayable air freshener directly from the can, flavoring the cherry scent. [00:33:13] Speaker A: Okay, so, you know, actually, I don't like cherry. Toxic. [00:33:15] Speaker B: Yeah. I don't even like the cherry. I don't even like real cherries. [00:33:18] Speaker A: I love fake cherry. [00:33:19] Speaker B: I love. You love fake cherry. [00:33:20] Speaker A: Fake cherry so much. [00:33:22] Speaker B: No, no. Don't know. Okay, this one I've seen on that show Cat hair eating. A woman was addicted to eating cat hair, especially when it was still attached to her pet. She would pull chunks off and eat it and like the texture. No, but. [00:33:41] Speaker A: Yeah, but I mean, even cats get furballs. [00:33:44] Speaker B: I know, I know. She. Maybe she voluntarily wanted the purple that wanted furbles. Maybe she was secretly a furry. Who knows? Who knows? Okay. Addicted to inflatables. A man had a romantic relationship with over a hundred inflatable animals. [00:34:01] Speaker A: Not even the blow up 100 inflatable. [00:34:03] Speaker B: Animals kissed and slept with them daily. Calling it love. Must be love. Love, love. Sorry. [00:34:10] Speaker A: Of crocodiles and monkeys. [00:34:12] Speaker B: I love neighbor animals. Yeah, I mean, that's. That's next level. That's. [00:34:17] Speaker A: Oh, I've heard about the inflatable people. Inflatable animals. [00:34:21] Speaker B: Oh, what about people that have those sex dolls, but they're lifelike ones and they consider and they marry them. [00:34:27] Speaker A: Yeah. Because it's the only meaningful relationship in their life. And I guess maybe they. Maybe they're just not very confident about getting out there and meeting new people. [00:34:35] Speaker B: Maybe they just can't deal with people. [00:34:37] Speaker A: Yeah, that's. [00:34:38] Speaker B: I just don't want anyone. That's also fair. You could also just marry someone that doesn't speak the language. Relationships are hard. You've got to put the effort in. [00:34:47] Speaker A: You do a lot of effort. [00:34:48] Speaker B: Yeah, we'll. We'll include some contacts for relationship counseling and things like that. But Okay. [00:34:57] Speaker A: I mean, I really like the next one. Chalk eating. [00:35:00] Speaker B: Chalk eating. I have heard this and I've known people to do this. [00:35:05] Speaker A: Some individuals consume chalk obsessively. One woman reported eating several sticks per day for the calming sensation. [00:35:13] Speaker B: Don't think it's calming. [00:35:14] Speaker A: I wouldn't feel like it'd be coming either. Have you ever. I mean, I can. [00:35:17] Speaker B: No. [00:35:18] Speaker A: I don't even like eating chalk. And I don't even like riding with. [00:35:21] Speaker B: Chalk when it does that. Skid. Don't like that. Yeah, that's yucky. [00:35:24] Speaker A: All I can imagine from hearing that skit is the dry. [00:35:27] Speaker B: Yeah. The chalkiness feeling in your mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, okay. So I did get someone message in thanks for this one. Addicted to belly. But belly button fluff or lint in their belly? Now I'm going to say something or. [00:35:41] Speaker A: Eating it or both. [00:35:42] Speaker B: I'm not sure. However, when I worked at Sir Charles Gardner Hospital, one of the blocks that I used to. And I started out in cleaning, one of them was the person who held the world Guinness record for the most amount of belly button fluff collected and was on the David Lederman show. And he had the picture of. [00:36:02] Speaker A: Did he collect it from. [00:36:03] Speaker B: And it was in his office. I'm not sure, but he had jars of it. And it was all different colors. Yes. [00:36:10] Speaker A: I don't even think I'll get that much. [00:36:12] Speaker B: Not sure if he still works there, but kudos to you for your belly button fluff and your great achievement with the Guinness World Records. Oh, we should look up weird Guinness record holding. [00:36:24] Speaker A: That'll be in the next one. [00:36:25] Speaker B: That's a different one altogether. What else have we got? [00:36:30] Speaker A: No to drinking. [00:36:31] Speaker B: No. [00:36:34] Speaker A: Grills. [00:36:35] Speaker B: Midstream. Is it midstream? That's good for you. Do you want a midi? No, I want some midstream. [00:36:43] Speaker A: If you're putting it in a cup. [00:36:45] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Do you have that in an ale or a lager? No, thank you. Yeah, that's an actual thing. She believed it had health benefits and even used it in her eyes as eye drops and skin care. [00:36:56] Speaker A: No, this. I couldn't. [00:36:57] Speaker B: I need to know if there is a real, actual. I need to know if there's documented evidence of that actually being a health benefit. I need to know that information. Liz, get. Get typing. All right. I don't think I'll know this. Oh, no. Okay, okay. We're going to extremes here. A woman was addicted to eating her deceased husband's cremated ashes. Right. I saw a ma. I saw a reel on yesterday where. [00:37:26] Speaker A: You can't be with me. [00:37:27] Speaker B: One of the. [00:37:28] Speaker A: You'll be with no one. [00:37:29] Speaker B: Oh, gosh. I know. They make sex toys out of their partners. Yes. Ashes. [00:37:34] Speaker A: I mean, I've got. [00:37:35] Speaker B: No, I've got my dog's ashes in a necklace around my neck. That's Chevy there. That's beautiful. But. But I wouldn't eat it. I wouldn't eat it. [00:37:42] Speaker A: But it's not going in your mouth. [00:37:44] Speaker B: No, no, no. Although I have had some kids put it in their mouth saying they want to eat my dog when I told them. Yeah, I think that was just a weird thing. But, I mean, you know, people like, how do you fit your dog in that? Well, you know, his ashes. No, but. Yeah, no, she spilt some and then she just couldn't stop eating it. But they do make sex toys out of their deceased partners. [00:38:08] Speaker A: I've heard of ashes with a few things, even tables and, I don't know, just random things. Bracelets and, you know, something to keep close. [00:38:16] Speaker B: Dude, seriously, if you're gonna send me messages, make them clean. That I can talk about. People, please. [00:38:22] Speaker A: Are there health benefits? Benefits to drinking urine? [00:38:25] Speaker B: Is there? [00:38:27] Speaker A: Despite what dramatic survival movies suggest, drinking urine isn't even a good way to hydrate. Oh, so drinking your own urine can actually make you dehydrated? [00:38:37] Speaker B: Ew. Because it's a waste product? [00:38:39] Speaker A: Well, it's a combination of all the salts that are being pushed out of your body and all the chemicals that are coming out of your body and you're drinking. [00:38:46] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:38:49] Speaker A: No health benefits. [00:38:55] Speaker B: I. [00:38:55] Speaker A: There. [00:38:55] Speaker B: No. Sorry. It did. Just remind me I need to pay. But, no, you're not having any of my midstream. Thank you, Chris. [00:39:00] Speaker A: I'm okay. Thank you. [00:39:02] Speaker B: Sorry. ADHD has kicked in and I have no filter. [00:39:05] Speaker A: That's not one of my addictions. I'm sorry. [00:39:07] Speaker B: No, I wouldn't have to find someone that enjoys that. Who would like to partake. Nobody. Okay. No. So there was actually a lady. Let's segue from that. That was married to a fairground ride. Her name was Linda Duchamp, and she legally married a carnival ride. She named Bruce. They call me Bruce. [00:39:30] Speaker A: They call me Bruce. [00:39:30] Speaker B: She claimed they shared an emotional and a sexual bond. [00:39:33] Speaker A: I mean, how do you. Inanimate cannot give you a sexual bond unless you give it to it. I mean, that made no sense. But an inanimate object cannot give you a sexual bond. [00:39:46] Speaker B: I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, that's. That's different. You know, there is. [00:39:52] Speaker A: How can you share an emotional bond? With an inanimate object. [00:39:55] Speaker B: Well, there are things. There are people with something considered necrophilia. [00:40:01] Speaker A: Necrophilia? [00:40:02] Speaker B: No, no, that's dead bodies. [00:40:03] Speaker A: Yes, that's dead bodies. [00:40:04] Speaker B: Yes, with an M for Mary Macrophilia. There are. They are in love with their car or their motor. [00:40:12] Speaker A: So is it men? [00:40:13] Speaker B: Well, either, either. But they're in love with their motor vehicle and they sometimes marry it and they do have intercourse somehow. I don't know. [00:40:22] Speaker A: Tailpod. [00:40:23] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, you. You just picture a dude with the exhaust pipe, but I'm not sure why in the car. I don't know. Dude, you're getting. I was just gonna mention it. And you've just gone to places. [00:40:35] Speaker A: Wow. [00:40:37] Speaker B: Okay. [00:40:37] Speaker A: Sorry. The only object I can see myself loving is something that goes. There ain't nothing. No carnival's gonna do that for me. [00:40:50] Speaker B: I think a lot of people would have that same idea. Check it out. See if that's an addiction. [00:40:59] Speaker A: What the sex addictions? [00:41:01] Speaker B: There are the sex addictions. Oh, that could be our next one. We'll have to wait for after 9pm for that. That version. There was a lady that was addicted to bee sting and she would voluntarily sting herself with bees on purpose dozens of times a day, claiming the pain made her feel euphoric. If you're allergic, that would be harmful. So please do not do that at home. However. [00:41:25] Speaker A: Masochistic thing. [00:41:26] Speaker B: Really. Yeah. This is an extreme and mean people's constitution in their body would have them feel things differently. So maybe it did give her a euphoric kind of feeling. [00:41:39] Speaker A: I mean, I guess you can, you can, you can do it the same way as that a person that cuts themselves feels euphoric when they do it. [00:41:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:46] Speaker A: Because it gives you that high feeling. [00:41:49] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [00:41:49] Speaker A: And then as soon as. [00:41:51] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:41:51] Speaker A: The pain goes away. It's gone. [00:41:53] Speaker B: That is one thing that we did cover with the mental health first aid training was the euphoric feeling. Self injury. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That is a thing. And I have seen reels and tick tocks with people trying to go like to get off the self injury and they actually have mad anxiety and tremors from trying to not self injure themselves. Wow. It is a real thing. [00:42:20] Speaker A: It's hard. It could be hard when you're in such a. A state of mind that your emotions just take over. And one thing I can say that can help guys, if you are a little bit masochistic and you, you do sometimes need a bit of that pain. A lucky band on your wrist. [00:42:34] Speaker B: Wrist. Yeah. No. Yeah, on your wrist. [00:42:38] Speaker A: A Lot of therapists will tell you. [00:42:39] Speaker B: Band somewhere. Pull it. Yeah, pull it. Stick it somewhere where it's gonna hurt that little bit and then that'll give you that. [00:42:46] Speaker A: And it'll give you that euphoric feeling. [00:42:48] Speaker B: That is what you need. Yeah, it's like a. It's like a segue, like a diversion. Yeah, yeah. [00:42:53] Speaker A: It's something to just take over your mind. [00:42:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:42:56] Speaker A: Other than something else. [00:42:57] Speaker B: Open your mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely. There was a lady named Lori that couldn't fall asleep unless a blow dryer was running and under her covers. She did it nightly, risking burns and fire. [00:43:08] Speaker A: Where did she put the blow dryer? I'm not sure. [00:43:11] Speaker B: We might be entering into the up late kind of. No, she just wanted it under the covers and. Yeah. And on. So is that like a. [00:43:19] Speaker A: Do you think that's like a hearing thing? Like she needed the white noise? [00:43:22] Speaker B: Well, I know that people need that fan. I don't. [00:43:25] Speaker A: I can't sleep without a fan. [00:43:26] Speaker B: But, you know, you can actually get YouTube to play the fan sound, so you don't actually have to have. [00:43:31] Speaker A: I heard. [00:43:32] Speaker B: You can get white noises, black noises, brown noise. Yeah. In utero, in utero, in utero. [00:43:37] Speaker A: 100 different noises. And you have to figure out which color you like. [00:43:41] Speaker B: Oh, I need that song. All I'm hearing from you is white noise. I'll find that. Oh, that's a good one. That was one of my son's favorite songs when he was growing up, so. [00:43:49] Speaker A: Another one. We had a woman named Heather. Heather drank paint she preferred glossy and oil based for the texture and aftertaste. [00:43:57] Speaker B: Oh, that would, like, wreck your throat. Your throat and your stomach and your mouth and. [00:44:01] Speaker A: And I mean, paint is chemical based. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want most of those chemicals in my body. [00:44:08] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, that's. That's. That's different. What else have we got? [00:44:12] Speaker A: I mean, we covered eating couch cushions because. Yeah, I may have wanted to do that at one point. [00:44:19] Speaker B: Did you actually want to eat couch cushion? [00:44:21] Speaker A: It was. It was more. It's a sponge thing, you know, it was. It was the sponge thing. [00:44:25] Speaker B: So would you eat car? Question. [00:44:26] Speaker A: Oh, probably anything that tasted like a cushion at that point. Really? Yeah, it was a weird thing. I don't know. It was. It was. It was settling. It calmed me. I don't know why. [00:44:35] Speaker B: What do you eat now? That calms. [00:44:36] Speaker A: What do I eat now? Now I smoke cigarettes and smoke cigarettes, drink, do adult things instead of adult chewing sponges. [00:44:43] Speaker B: I'm happy with that. But, like. Yeah, I Don't know what to say to. I guess, you know, if it helped you at a certain time then, and you passed it, then good on you. I did. [00:44:55] Speaker A: I was surprised I passed it. There was a lot of weird habits I had as a child that I managed to pass. [00:44:59] Speaker B: How many people wouldn't let you in their car? [00:45:03] Speaker A: What makes you think people would let me in the car in the first place? [00:45:05] Speaker B: I mean, I don't know how you're getting home tonight. [00:45:10] Speaker A: Here's another one. So snorting baby powder, I feel like that would hurt. [00:45:14] Speaker B: Oh, I feel like people do that without knowing if they're in the. Just changing the baby. [00:45:19] Speaker A: Just changing baby nappy. [00:45:21] Speaker B: No, if they're buying off the black market, I think they might snort baby powder by accident. Accident? [00:45:26] Speaker A: That's not baby powder. That's baking powder. One woman was addicted to sniffing baby powder up her nose several times a day despite nosebleeds and lung damage risks. I mean, you know, you get damage from sniffing illicit substances that begin with a C up your nose. And that's bad enough. [00:45:46] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Water based paint is apparently fine. Sorry? Water based paint is apparently fine to non toxic. Yeah. [00:45:54] Speaker A: So if it's oil based, is it poisonous? [00:45:57] Speaker B: Yeah. It must be two adult things and watch punches. I don't. Thanks for that one. Yeah. All right. I mean, I'm getting some weird messages here, people. I'm sorry I can't read them out, but that's why I'm laughing. So just know that if I can't read it and I pretty much say it like it is, you just know how bad it is. Yes. [00:46:21] Speaker A: I think it might be time for us to take a break. [00:46:25] Speaker B: I do need a pee. I do need to pay. But we ain't drinking it and. Yeah, well, I'm feeling like I need to run to paradise right now. So let's have some choir boys. [00:46:37] Speaker A: More music. Better. Mental health only on IPL radio. [00:46:44] Speaker B: And that was forgot about dream. Dr. Dre, doctor in the house. Tell us that urine is not good for drinking. [00:46:54] Speaker A: So that in the song. [00:46:58] Speaker B: They didn't say that in the song, but now we know it. So that was one of our weird addictions we were discussing before the song break. If you do have any that you are experiencing or know of, please hit me up. I want to hear about it. Some people are addicted to driving fast. So was I. Not anymore. Yes, any. Anything else?

And I think they've got, like, energy, like a guarana in there. And that doesn't affect me anymore because. [00:48:22] Speaker A: Is that the one that does a lot of the herbalife stuff? [00:48:24] Speaker B: Correct. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they do. So they've got all these. Yeah. Loaded teas. That's good. And my warm chicken salad from Hank. Obsession. Max. [00:48:33] Speaker A: I think I've had the warm chicken salad from there, actually. [00:48:35] Speaker B: Dude, we have to go try it. You have to go. I did last time I went last night. I had tried their taco board. Didn't realize it was a share one and I could only eat two. Yeah, it's massive, but it's amazing. [00:48:50] Speaker A: I think. [00:48:50] Speaker B: Yeah, I want some right now, actually. I am starving. I am starving. [00:48:54] Speaker A: Just trying to figure out what to eat, what to order. [00:48:57] Speaker B: Yes. Yes, there is Riverside Thai do. Amazing Thai food. Like, I'm obsessed. I didn't like Thai food Riverside before. It's in south yonder up. [00:49:08] Speaker A: Well, that's in.

Oh, my God, it's amazing. [00:49:16] Speaker A: Like a real white person. Mild like. [00:49:17] Speaker B: That's Jared's fault. He got me obsessed with it. Shout out to Jared. You got me obsessed with Thai food. And I never thought that was possible. And oh, Hanks do a nice steak, too. Have you had. I've had. I've had a few. 20 steak night armies and ribs. 20 steak nights last night. That was pretty good, apparently. And they do beef cheeks, love. [00:49:38] Speaker A: Really good for winter. Beef cheeks. [00:49:40] Speaker B: Beef cheeks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What else? What else? I'm actually starving right now, so if anyone knows. I'm obsessed with food right now, so I really want some Thai food now. Does anyone know anywhere good in Rockingham that do Uber Eats and can deliver to our radio station. Please let me know. I'm gonna look up Uber Eats in a minute because I am hungry. But let's go back to our weird and wonderful. I don't know about wonderful, but let's go back to. I mean, cat. Good. [00:50:11] Speaker A: Could be wonderful, I suppose. [00:50:13] Speaker B: Yes, yes, yes, yes. Let's go. [00:50:14] Speaker A: Well, I'm on technology and sensory addictions here. So we had the one about addicted to taking cells, coffees. [00:50:20] Speaker B: Yes. [00:50:21] Speaker A: Then there's a phone vibration syndrome. [00:50:23] Speaker B: Right. [00:50:25] Speaker A: Compulsive phone checking. [00:50:27] Speaker B: Okay. There are a lot of people that do that. I think that's a stimulation thing. That could be that thing. [00:50:35] Speaker A: Addiction to being watched. Desire to be surveilled. [00:50:39] Speaker B: That sounds like a sexual thing. [00:50:41] Speaker A: Well, you've heard of, like, exhibitionism, and. [00:50:43] Speaker B: Have I heard of it? Have I done it? Who knows? Well, no. [00:50:49] Speaker A: By that little giggle. [00:50:52] Speaker B: Who knows? Who knows, who knows? I'm obsessed with looking for typhoid right now. But keep going, keep going. [00:50:57] Speaker A: Well, this one I find really interesting. Virtual reality addiction. So detachment from reality, preference for stimulation. [00:51:05] Speaker B: You know, they get their heebie jeebies on. They get their. Yeah, they get their rocks off from that, too. There's like a weird. [00:51:12] Speaker A: Why do you have to put everything into sexual order? [00:51:14] Speaker B: I live there. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sorry, people. [00:51:19] Speaker A: So it's just virtual reality addiction. That could be anything from, like, I want to be a fairy or what is it? Or something in the future. [00:51:35] Speaker B: I've got a Viking outfit. [00:51:37] Speaker A: I don't want to know what part of your closet. That Viking outfit. [00:51:40] Speaker B: It's in my. It's in my tall drawer. Tall, tall boy. I have a whole set. [00:51:46] Speaker A: You got a whole drawer for. [00:51:47] Speaker B: I've got a whole tall boy. Full of costumes. Anyway, that's for another show. Keep going. All right, all right. [00:51:58] Speaker A: There's an addiction to white noise. Unable to function without background sound. See, I feel like a lot of the time I could probably fit into that box because I hate the absence of noise. Mostly because I hear ringing in my ears. [00:52:12] Speaker B: Yeah. And that's the ringing in your ears. I mean, that's. That's a lot of people with that are spiritual and everything and have gifts. They hear ringing in their ears. Adhd. When you have that constant monologue, you kind of want to drown that out. So that's another thing about having constant noise or needing TVs on. I do know that one. Because sometimes I need the TV on all the time to go to sleep, and then somehow I Wake up and it's off. So that's great. Sometimes. Sometimes, huh? Yeah. So what else have we got? Apparently I'm addicted to my phone. Really? Really. No, I'm not. I just. I. I conduct a lot of business and stuff on my phone. It's a necessity. If this was a computer, which it is. It is a portable one, then it's not an addiction. Am I addicted to. No, no, no. Anyway, continue. What else have you got over there? What else have we got? [00:53:14] Speaker A: What else we got? Hoarding digital files. I haven't heard about album before. Oh, compulsive downloading of files. [00:53:19] Speaker B: Okay, so I am one that screenshots everything and saves it and your photos. Yeah. No even. Yeah. And I'd never look at it again. [00:53:28] Speaker A: Look at it again. [00:53:30] Speaker B: Okay, I'm going to tell you how many images. I'm going to tell you how many items are in my photo folder on my iPhone. 170. 799 items. [00:53:43] Speaker A: Pictures. 170, 000. [00:53:45] Speaker B: Yeah. Is that bad? [00:53:46] Speaker A: I think that's pretty bad. I don't even know how you check it out. [00:53:50] Speaker B: I don't check it. They're just there. [00:53:52] Speaker A: Let me see, Let me see. What have I got? I have a lot less than. Did you say 170, 000? [00:53:58] Speaker B: Yes. [00:53:59] Speaker A: I'm not even hitting 7,000. [00:54:02] Speaker B: No, look, look. [00:54:03] Speaker A: 130. 70,000. That's crazy. [00:54:06] Speaker B: And look what I'm going to tell you. How many since we've been here? Right, wait. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. Only since we've been on air for an hour. [00:54:15] Speaker A: That's the problem. You screenshot everything. [00:54:17] Speaker B: But I'll need it. No, but I will need it. [00:54:20] Speaker A: But do you file it? Do you have special files? [00:54:23] Speaker B: No, I'm not that organized. I wish I was. I wish I was. I wish. Yeah, I do have. But that's an ADHD thing. That's not an addiction. I don't think it's. [00:54:34] Speaker A: It's more of a forgetfulness. [00:54:36] Speaker B: I think there really is. 170. Like you can confirm there really is. What was it? 170. 799 items in my Photos folder. That is a. Is that an addiction? I don't know. I don't know. But yes, that is a. That is a thing. An ADHD thing. I think that's a neurodivergent thing. Neurotypical or whatever you want to call me. I am definitely the poster child for ADHD and all those weird and wacky wonderful things. Right now. I'm obsessed With Thai food. So I have to. I'm gonna put a song on because I need to pick some because I am now hungry. What about this? What are we gonna do? Let's do something classic. I want to go with tiny dancer. Because I will dance when I get my Thai food. [00:55:26] Speaker A: Your voice, your community station. You are listening to IPL radio. [00:55:33] Speaker B: And you're listening to all the things at IPL radio. Tuesday night with Jen. Jen and Liz. Hello. And we're going through some of the weirdest of the weird addictions. Now. I've gone a little bit leveled up here. [00:55:47] Speaker A: Leveled up. [00:55:48] Speaker B: Okay. So someone was actually addicted to. In love sexually with a chandelier. [00:55:57] Speaker A: Objects again? [00:55:58] Speaker B: Yep. So it's. Yeah. Someone actually identifies as objectum sexual with a lighting. Yeah, Objectum sexual with a lighting fixture. It's an actual thing. So. Yeah. Injecting snake venom for a high. A man reported slowing. Slowly building up a tolerance by self injecting cobra venom. [00:56:20] Speaker A: Is that licking a frog? [00:56:22] Speaker B: I don't know. That sounds like a Simpsons scene. Addicted to inflating balloons and sleeping with them. A man lives with over 50 balloons and treats them like romantic partners. That is random. [00:56:35] Speaker A: That sounds like the inflatables guy does. [00:56:38] Speaker B: Does. Eating glass and light bulbs and razor blades. I've heard of that one. [00:56:44] Speaker A: Yeah, I've heard the glass one. [00:56:45] Speaker B: So that's another thing. Form of picker. A self harm or self injury based thrill seeking licking cats obsessively. A woman believed she was bonding with her cat by grooming it like a mother cat would. I did see that one. [00:57:00] Speaker A: Did you see that? I can. [00:57:01] Speaker B: I can see that. I actually saw one where you can buy a. [00:57:05] Speaker A: A tongue. [00:57:06] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This takes the bleach one a little bit further. Bathing and bleach daily to. To feel clean despite chemical burns and doctors. [00:57:14] Speaker A: Yeah. See, I've actually had the thought of doing it before just from feeling. [00:57:18] Speaker B: I'm not surprised. [00:57:18] Speaker A: Unclean. [00:57:19] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm not surprised. [00:57:21] Speaker A: What are you trying to say on that type of person? [00:57:23] Speaker B: Well, you know. Oh. The living as an adult baby 24 7. So diapers, bottles, crib. A lifestyle addiction driven by comfort. Yeah, the pony play thing. Yeah, that was. Yeah. [00:57:34] Speaker A: Wants to be given a bottle and diaper changed. [00:57:36] Speaker B: And what about this? It's obsessed with smelling used feminine hygiene products. Oh my God. I mean, each to their own. But that is disturbing and extremely rare and typically linked to trauma or fetish. That's a bit gross. That's. That's gross. Gross. [00:57:53] Speaker A: Sorry, I feel like I shouldn't judge, but yeah, I feel like I should. [00:57:56] Speaker B: Have done a trigger warning for this show. It's getting there. It is. Ingesting powdered detergent. Preferred texture was gritty versus foamy. They're the two variables of that obsession. [00:58:08] Speaker A: So do more people go to gritty or foamy? [00:58:10] Speaker B: Don't know. Maybe you should look that one up. Obsessively eating rubber tires or inner tubes. So found in extreme pica cases. Some consumed over 5 kg of rubber weekly. [00:58:23] Speaker A: So I think pica is anything that people consume that is not meant to be consumed. So I've got another one eating bricks or dirt called geophagia. [00:58:32] Speaker B: Yes. No, I've heard that. And. And people eat rocks and things like that. Yes. [00:58:36] Speaker A: Substances. [00:58:37] Speaker B: That's a bit weird. That's weird. Okay, what about some people like this one of compulsively licking feet of strangers? [00:58:46] Speaker A: Yeah, I've heard. [00:58:47] Speaker B: I've heard the foot fetish sexual thing. Just a compulsion. Yeah, that's a foot fetish thing. Well, there is a foot fetish thing. I did have a foot fetish. No, I didn't have a foot fetish. I have had people ask to. To do certain things with my feet. [00:59:02] Speaker A: Feet fix. [00:59:03] Speaker B: I got asked to be a foot model when I was like, 1918. Yeah. I do have nice feet. I'm gonna lie. [00:59:10] Speaker A: Did you do it? [00:59:11] Speaker B: Did I do what? No, because I was actually. I was insulted that they just wanted my feet. Oh. So now I think that I missed an opportunity and I could have been in all the Bets and Bets commercial. [00:59:24] Speaker A: Well, you should have said to him, you can have me all or you can have me none. [00:59:28] Speaker B: You got no feet. Storing and sleeping with hundreds of dolls covered in real human hair. That is weird. Yeah. [00:59:36] Speaker A: I mean, I know a lot of dolls these days do have real human hair. [00:59:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Apparently it's claimed to protect them from spirits. So that might be a spiritual kind of thing. I don't know. [00:59:46] Speaker A: There's addiction to tattoos or body modifications. So extreme body alteration. [00:59:51] Speaker B: She's a fine. Tattoos are fine. Body mods. They do do those things under the skin. [00:59:56] Speaker A: I mean, have you. Yeah, the. [00:59:57] Speaker B: The. [00:59:57] Speaker A: The dermals. [00:59:59] Speaker B: Dermal implants. [01:00:00] Speaker A: I've also seen ones where people cut their tongue in half. They have a lizard tongue, you know. [01:00:04] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I would like to meet someone like. No, jokes. Jokes. [01:00:09] Speaker A: What? Didn't you see the guy that tattooed himself completely in black from head to foot, cut his tongue in half and had multiple studs rivets in his face. [01:00:17] Speaker B: So that he looked like Elizabeth, not one of my exes no, no. Bathing in vinegar and onions to absorb their aura and detox the soul. Now I don't. [01:00:26] Speaker A: Vinegar and onions. [01:00:27] Speaker B: Never heard that one. I would say that would probably propel anyone from being near. [01:00:32] Speaker A: I mean, is that like a wives tale from using garlic to get rid of vampires? [01:00:36] Speaker B: I don't know. Maybe. We need to check into medieval ones. That might be one. Medieval, yeah. Married to a video game character in a full ceremony with printed screenshots as vows. That is next level for a World of Warcraft kind of thing. Sewing hair into your own skin. Claimed it made her feel more connected to herself. So was it her own hair? [01:01:01] Speaker A: That's what I'm wondering. Or is it somebody else's hair? How would that make her to herself? [01:01:05] Speaker B: Oh, my God. Oh, this is a bit of a trigger warning. Eating scabs and wounds. Picked and stored them and then consumed them later. Is that like that? Is that a real thing? [01:01:16] Speaker A: Eating scabs? [01:01:17] Speaker B: Says it here. [01:01:17] Speaker A: Yes, I've seen people eat scabs. It's disgusting. [01:01:19] Speaker B: Like adults. Not usually adults, No, I. One of my friend's brothers, when I was like 6, he would eat his own earwax. [01:01:27] Speaker A: Yeah, kids eat their boogers. They're crusty eye crusties. [01:01:31] Speaker B: Pretty much anything that comes out of their body. Yeah, that's gross. Gross, gross. Yeah, the drinking, the human blood. So identified as real life vampires. We did talk about that. Yeah. [01:01:41] Speaker A: So I've got it right here. Blood drinking, clinical vampirism, a rare behavioral compulsion to drink blood. I've also heard that some people don't like going outside during the day and also have a tendency to dislike garlic. [01:01:56] Speaker B: Yeah, okay. Well, I mean, that's different. So each to their own. So medieval ones. So back in the day, feet and foot worship was a real thing. So feet were considered highly erotic in medieval times. We're going different places, we're going to different levels here. Because modesty meant they were almost always covered. So some monks wore entire verses around, wrote entire verses around women's ankles and toes. In some texts, a glimpse of bare feet was considered more scandalous than cleavage. That goes back to the foot fetish maybe. Anyone with a foot fetish is, you know, calling up something from their lives. Yeah. Who knows? Flagellation. So whipping and self punishment is a religious self mortification. And it became sexual for some and can still be sexual. [01:02:54] Speaker A: Can't imagine wanting to be ripped all the time though. [01:02:56] Speaker B: Really? Never mind. [01:02:58] Speaker A: What, you can imagine being whipped all the time. [01:03:01] Speaker B: I'm not imagining anything. [01:03:02] Speaker A: Well, that's what I Said so it's. [01:03:04] Speaker B: A fine line between pleasure and plain pain there, Liz, is clothing and textile fetishes. So silk, lace, leather and fur. We're going back to. [01:03:14] Speaker A: I think I hate those kinds of textures. [01:03:17] Speaker B: Do you know what? I don't like sleeping on silk sheets. I think it's gross. And the pillows slip right off. [01:03:22] Speaker A: It's like. Yeah, you slip over. [01:03:24] Speaker B: Yeah. Weird. Weird. [01:03:25] Speaker A: Fall off the bed. [01:03:26] Speaker B: Yeah. But, you know, undergarments and things like that, and even the texture, the sniffing and. And rubbing of them is considered a fetish or, you know, addiction of some sort. Boot licking and submission. So some nobles demanded complete physical submission, including licking boots or kissing feet. [01:03:46] Speaker A: I feel like that was more of a power. [01:03:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it is a power thing. Yeah. Yep, yep, yep. Groveling and crawling were also eroticized. So again, a big power play thing. [01:03:58] Speaker A: For those time big men. I'm a big man, so here we go. [01:04:03] Speaker B: I just tried. I just tried to blow my hair off my phone, but I blew into the microphone. So I do apologize. That was me being blonde. Fire candles and wax. Candle wax was sometimes stripped as part of religious rituals, but is also known for candle play. There we go. [01:04:21] Speaker A: Let's play. [01:04:22] Speaker B: Nothing wrong with a bit of wax. Gosh. [01:04:25] Speaker A: They make special. [01:04:26] Speaker B: I'm not going to talk about this anymore. [01:04:27] Speaker A: They make special candles for it now. [01:04:29] Speaker B: They do. You can actually get a mold body massage. You actually get a mold and a candle made of your partner's bits. Yeah, apparently. Apparently. [01:04:39] Speaker A: Think I'd want that? [01:04:40] Speaker B: Apparently. It's not written here, but I am aware of that by some reasons. I don't know why. [01:04:44] Speaker A: What you just put on your. On your desk. Phallus desk. [01:04:49] Speaker B: It just sits there. [01:04:50] Speaker A: Here's a paper way. [01:04:51] Speaker B: A ch. [01:04:52] Speaker A: Handle. [01:04:52] Speaker B: Paper. That's like the chode. Oh, my gosh. I'm going to change the subject. There are a few more here. Wait. Knights and damsel. So it was a power dynamic thing. So armored knight rescuing the helpless lady. These were things that were done in back in the day. Washing ones, bath house ones back in the day. [01:05:19] Speaker A: Because obviously everyone shared the swimming hole. [01:05:22] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. We're going to. I'm not going to read the last few. Therapy. They're a bit out there. Are they? Yeah. Oh. Oh, yeah. They're a bit out there, I think. [01:05:31] Speaker A: No, maybe not appropriate. [01:05:32] Speaker B: I'm gonna balance from the rest of that. [01:05:34] Speaker A: Well, I'm gonna go on to some psychological. [01:05:36] Speaker B: Come on, give me some. Give me some. [01:05:38] Speaker A: We've got social media addiction. I mean, that's. That's Got to be pretty well known about in today's day and age, you know? Compulsive scrolling, Doom scrolling. [01:05:46] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. [01:05:48] Speaker A: We all get addicted to sitting on our phones. [01:05:50] Speaker B: And I do it. [01:05:51] Speaker A: You're doing it right now. What are you talking about? Facebook. This is what happens when we're talking about it. [01:05:58] Speaker B: I am doing. I'm looking at. I've got 21 minutes to my quay. Towel kiss here. [01:06:05] Speaker A: Her mind is on food now. [01:06:06] Speaker B: I am on food. Yes. [01:06:08] Speaker A: Compulsive online shopping. [01:06:11] Speaker B: I'm gonna. I'm gonna actually say I did have an online shopping addiction when. Yeah. Going through a lot of stuff. I. I did have Amazon visit me and ebay every day. [01:06:24] Speaker A: Especially when you see the packages rock up on the door. You're like, oh, what's this one? [01:06:27] Speaker B: But it's like Christmas, because I don't even remember ordering them. [01:06:31] Speaker A: What you order and it comes and it's a surprise. [01:06:34] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have that now. [01:06:36] Speaker A: So that's known as oneiomania. [01:06:40] Speaker B: Yeah. Definitely had the mania of some sort back in the day. [01:06:44] Speaker A: Compulsive online shopping. Reality TV addiction. I know a few people that love their reality. [01:06:50] Speaker B: Yes. [01:06:51] Speaker A: They get emotional attachment to parasocial relationships. You see on tv, you're like, I could be in a relationship with him. [01:06:59] Speaker B: Farmer wants a wife. [01:07:02] Speaker A: Sign up next season. Oh, well, this isn't really an unknown one. Pornography addiction. I mean, I feel like that's a pretty well known one. You've got sex editions and things addictions and things like that. That as well as. [01:07:12] Speaker B: Again, I think you can have a healthy addiction to that. I mean, it's fine to look at beautiful things. [01:07:20] Speaker A: I think the difference is when it's excessive and compulsive consumption. [01:07:23] Speaker B: Okay. [01:07:24] Speaker A: And it's not just every now and then. [01:07:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:07:27] Speaker A: Okay, we got another one. Plastic chewing and licking. Craving texture or taste of synthetic materials. Addiction to collecting strange objects. Sex like taxidermy. [01:07:39] Speaker B: Yeah, that's a bit weird. Sorry about that. [01:07:41] Speaker A: Your doll one. Yeah. [01:07:43] Speaker B: Yeah. Creepy. Dolls are creepy. I'm sorry. Dolls can be creepy and clowns don't even go there. Don't even. [01:07:50] Speaker A: Now, this is definitely an American one, I reckon. Extreme couponing, compulsion to hoard discounted products. [01:07:57] Speaker B: You know, if we had that option over here, I think, you know, I don't know. [01:08:01] Speaker A: I think we might have some extreme couponing going on if we had. [01:08:04] Speaker B: Yeah. That choice. [01:08:04] Speaker A: But here it's a like one coupon per transaction kind of state. [01:08:08] Speaker B: I don't even think we do coupons. [01:08:10] Speaker A: We Do. But it's a one per transaction kind of thing where. Well, you know, you've got like, you've got like your Hungry Jacks ones. Yeah, they do coupons still, I'm pretty sure. Like Domino's and stuff. Still does coupons. [01:08:21] Speaker B: I don't even know. I don't really eat junk food. Although I am waiting for Thai food. Yeah, that's not junk. [01:08:28] Speaker A: But couponing in America, they do it for everything. They do it for all their big shopping chains. [01:08:33] Speaker B: Yeah, they do. [01:08:34] Speaker A: You get your $2 off here, $2 off there, but they can use all their coupons in one. [01:08:38] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:08:38] Speaker A: And I'm not saving 200 a shop. [01:08:40] Speaker B: That's crazy. But that's good. That's a good option. [01:08:43] Speaker A: Extreme couponing. There's a reason you do it. You know, you're getting something out of it and. And it. I imagine it would make you feel super good too. [01:08:50] Speaker B: Well, I mean, saving money always feels good, doesn't it? It does, it does. [01:08:55] Speaker A: You see the new movie about. [01:08:59] Speaker B: It. [01:08:59] Speaker A: Was the Two American Ladies? [01:09:00] Speaker B: Do I want to know what movie you've seen? Oh, no, it's me you have to worry about. Okay. [01:09:03] Speaker A: Yeah, we're doing couponing and she found out that by just writing the company letter that she would get sent these free coupons out. [01:09:15] Speaker B: Let's try it. And I wonder if they. [01:09:19] Speaker A: They almost went to jail because it's. [01:09:21] Speaker B: Oh, no, let's not try that Friday. [01:09:22] Speaker A: And things like that, but try that. What I'm saying is it goes to such extreme lengths in America because they can save so much money. [01:09:30] Speaker B: Yeah, but it sounds like it's very tight with, with their welfare and that. [01:09:37] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, 100. I mean, and I think I wouldn't want. [01:09:40] Speaker B: Coupons are part of their welfare check. Is that right? Is that. Is that right? [01:09:44] Speaker A: I think so. I think, I think. I think so. When we're talking about that kind of thing, I'm more talking about just a general. Everyday person, you know, gets coupons in the mail and stuff like that. [01:09:53] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:09:54] Speaker A: You go through a newspaper and you. Back in the day, there used to be coupons in the magazines and the newspapers. [01:09:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:10:00] Speaker A: Things that are local around you that they're trying to attract you to. [01:10:02] Speaker B: To. [01:10:03] Speaker A: To see and bring people to. [01:10:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:10:05] Speaker A: So they'll give you, you know, discounts for trying new products and, and stuff. [01:10:09] Speaker B: Okay. Oh, no. Apparently eating snails is a thing. And I think someone's just saying that to mess with me because I am petrified of snails. [01:10:20] Speaker A: You do realize people in France eat snails, right? [01:10:23] Speaker B: Yeah, it's a delicacy. No, I went to a French restaurant once and it was gross. [01:10:27] Speaker A: What do they call it? Escargot. Escargot. Apparently it's a delicacy in France. Will I ever try it? [01:10:34] Speaker B: No. Yeah. [01:10:36] Speaker A: I do not think I would like the texture. [01:10:38] Speaker B: No. What? What? [01:10:40] Speaker A: Of a snail? [01:10:41] Speaker B: Dude, I wouldn't. I've trodden on them. [01:10:44] Speaker A: Yuck. [01:10:44] Speaker B: No, it makes me vomit. Like, seriously. And I'm. I. When I see them, I run and I know I can get away, but yuck. Yep. Yeah. [01:10:53] Speaker A: I can't really imagine you not getting away from a snail. [01:10:57] Speaker B: Jen, if I have an issue with getting away from the snail, you'll know about it. [01:11:01] Speaker A: Something. [01:11:01] Speaker B: Yeah. Yep. [01:11:03] Speaker A: You've broken both your legs and arms and you cannot move. [01:11:07] Speaker B: Yes. Okay. Well, if that's the case, I did, like, my kids knew about it and they used to chase me with them. [01:11:15] Speaker A: So that's, that's just. I mean, that's common. Teenagers, if you, if, if you tell them that you're afraid of something, they. They're gonna get you mum. [01:11:24] Speaker B: Yeah, they do. They do. They do. [01:11:26] Speaker A: So we got us some more here. We got video game loot, box addictions. So that would be like the old loot crates that you used to get. [01:11:35] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:36] Speaker A: And the gaming they send. Send you out like little figurines and stuff each week. [01:11:41] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:42] Speaker A: I guess it becomes like an addiction, getting a surprise package every week and unboxing it and finding out what it is. [01:11:48] Speaker B: So I think it's important to know if you do struggle with any kind of addictions, even these weird ones, there is help available. You can go to www.betterhelp.com and then you can just put in online if it's for yourself, and then you can talk to someone for all your addiction problems. And, you know, there's help lines and different pages available for any kind of addiction. [01:12:23] Speaker A: And don't ever feel that just because your addiction is something different or a little bit weird that you can't talk about it. [01:12:31] Speaker B: Correct. [01:12:31] Speaker A: Guarantee there's other people out there that feel like you. [01:12:34] Speaker B: I know there's, you know, they have the help online for drug and alcohol and gambling, but there is helpline. There's websites up there that can help you with all these different kinds of addictions. So just check them out, try BetterHelp, and then go from there because there is help out available for people that do need that. And I think, you know, when things become addictions, they become an issue. It doesn't matter even if it's weird and crazy, and we're having fun talking about it, and some of them are pretty weird. But if it does become an addiction, it is a problem. So do get help, and there is help available that's important to notice while we're having all these fun chats about all these weird and wonderful things. And yes, if you have something clean that you can send me. Clean, clean. [01:13:21] Speaker A: Keep it clean, clean. [01:13:22] Speaker B: Please do. Yeah. Yeah. So what else have we got there? [01:13:26] Speaker A: Obsessive role playing or laughing, you know, Laughing. [01:13:29] Speaker B: Yes. [01:13:30] Speaker A: Yeah, that looks like a lot of fun, to be honest. [01:13:32] Speaker B: You know, medieval. Yeah. So at one of these fearless gatherings, we did laughter yoga, and we would do. We would laugh in. Oh, it's weirdest thing I've ever. [01:13:42] Speaker A: Forceful laughing. [01:13:43] Speaker B: One of the weirdest things I've ever done. It was so random, but that was. Yeah, that was quite bizarre times where. [01:13:49] Speaker A: You have to force yourself to laugh. [01:13:50] Speaker B: Yeah, you just laugh in each other's. It was. Was. It was pretty random. It was pretty random. For sure. Sure. What else have you got? I'm gonna grab my jacket. I'm freezing. [01:13:58] Speaker A: Well, I mean, I kind of understand the obsessing, role playing, or laughing because you get. You get to avoid reality. You get to take a. You get to take time out from being in your brain and thinking about something else. I'm in the medieval times. I'm gonna go fight a dragon and save this damsel from her lair. You know, it's. It's kind of. Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair. [01:14:19] Speaker B: I need some hair extensions for that one. [01:14:21] Speaker A: I kind of. I kind of understand that. Again, that's the same kind of thing as getting into, like, gaming or tv. It's something to distract yourself from the daily reality of. Of what we're going through. You know, it's. It's something that people, you know, they use it to avoid reality. And I think, you know, sometimes that's okay, and sometimes it becomes an addiction and something that you need to take some time away from. [01:14:43] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. [01:14:45] Speaker A: I mean, we already talked about tattoo pain addiction. [01:14:47] Speaker B: I do love tattoos. [01:14:48] Speaker A: I do love tattoos. [01:14:49] Speaker B: I don't even find it painful. [01:14:51] Speaker A: I do. [01:14:51] Speaker B: You do? [01:14:52] Speaker A: Yeah, I do. [01:14:53] Speaker B: I can fall asleep. I actually find it kind of stimulating in some ways. I'm a weirdo. I'm a weirdo. I think I need help. I'll start with better help. [01:15:06] Speaker A: So you're a message. [01:15:07] Speaker B: I'm sharing. I'm sharing. Oh, God. I'm over sharing. Oh, wow. Oversharing. Jen, that does not sound like Me. At all? [01:15:17] Speaker A: No, not at all. [01:15:18] Speaker B: Maybe it's just I like the, I like the after effects. I don't know, I'm just trying to downplay whatever I just over shared. But yes. [01:15:27] Speaker A: We talked about eating ashes, cremated remains. We talked about that one. A form of brief face pika. So pika is anything that, is anything that people use as, as a mouth stimulant, I guess they stick in their mouth. [01:15:42] Speaker B: Yep. [01:15:43] Speaker A: Addiction to danger. Adrenaline junkies. I think we can all understand that one. You get a bit of that high from do you know what, Jumping off a bridge with a. [01:15:52] Speaker B: Can I shoot something? [01:15:53] Speaker A: Bungee cord. [01:15:53] Speaker B: Do you get adrenaline from being on the radio? I did, yeah, at first and now not so much. [01:16:00] Speaker A: I love it. Feels like I'm just talking to you, to be honest. [01:16:02] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. Who's even listening? Nobody. Nobody. No, I, I find it therapeutic, but yeah, it is, it was. Do you find it stimulating? [01:16:13] Speaker A: I do find it stimulating when I'm talking to you. [01:16:16] Speaker B: Do you listeners find it stimulating your ears? Oh my God, I think I need food. I do know, but I could totally. [01:16:28] Speaker A: See the risk seeking behavior. Something that you can get addicted to. Like getting addicted to danger jump, Bungee jump, you know, you see BASE jumpers. [01:16:36] Speaker B: Not being the jumper. Yep. [01:16:38] Speaker A: Yeah. Not me. [01:16:38] Speaker B: Not. Yeah, ballet's on that one. [01:16:40] Speaker A: I'm afraid of heights. That's not me. [01:16:41] Speaker B: I'm afraid of falling. [01:16:45] Speaker A: It's not so much the, the height, it's more the, the falling. [01:16:49] Speaker B: Yeah. I say so. The, Yep. [01:16:51] Speaker A: The, the drop in your stomach. [01:16:53] Speaker B: Yes. That would, that actually scares me a bit. [01:16:58] Speaker A: Okay, this, this is, this is one that I've heard of and I do not understand. [01:17:04] Speaker B: I'm too scared to know what is it? What is it? What is go. [01:17:07] Speaker A: An addiction to being pregnant. Do you know people that always want to be pregnant and never want. [01:17:14] Speaker B: I'm gonna say child. Okay. When I was pregnant with Brianna, I felt so beautiful. So beautiful. I, I actually glowed, obviously, until I became the size of a house, the side of a house. But when I was pregnant with the boys, I was so sick, like the whole pregnancy. So I understand if your pregnancies are lovely, like if you are having a Brianna, because it was the most pleasant I've ever felt. I, I, I was pregnant. [01:17:47] Speaker A: Interesting. [01:17:48] Speaker B: I did get pregnant a few more times. I, I had a few miscarriages and I always knew if it was a boy or girl. And one, the last baby I lost was a girl. And I know because I was diagnosed with fibro. So I was very unwell for some time. And I got pregnant and I was not. I was so. Well, in amongst feeling so terrible for so long, and I felt the best I'd felt in years. And then when I miscarried, I was back to being unwell. [01:18:23] Speaker A: Do you think that's got something to do with the placenta and the fact that that baby's genes bring in real healthy? [01:18:30] Speaker B: Well, they do. They. They can heal you. Yeah, absolutely. [01:18:33] Speaker A: No, I've heard of it. [01:18:34] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:18:34] Speaker A: They're using things like stem cells to help. I know correct cures for diseases and things like that around the world. So there's no doubt that the. [01:18:44] Speaker B: The what? What are you doing? [01:18:49] Speaker A: The lovely. What is this? [01:18:51] Speaker B: She's making gestures. Oh, okay. [01:18:54] Speaker A: Gives you. [01:18:54] Speaker B: Because what you're doing, it looks like you're. [01:18:56] Speaker A: I'm trying to think of doing the. [01:18:57] Speaker B: Letter like a ram head here, but what is this? Like waving your arms around. Let's go disco. What are you doing there, darling? [01:19:04] Speaker A: Procedure, okay. [01:19:05] Speaker B: The procedure. So I can tell by your hand. I can tell by your hand gestures that you have not had a baby. [01:19:16] Speaker A: No, never. [01:19:19] Speaker B: Yeah. What about a miscarriage or never been pregnant? No, no, I can tell. Do you know some people are addicted to getting people pregnant? [01:19:26] Speaker A: I have heard of that, too. But then what happens? Like, is that the man or is that that. Well, obviously, that would be the man. [01:19:31] Speaker B: That would be the man. Maybe. [01:19:33] Speaker A: Are they also addicted to paying child support for those 30 different children? [01:19:37] Speaker B: I'm pretty sure that this one was a joke, but yes. Maybe let's practice getting pregnant. Maybe they're addicted to that. [01:19:44] Speaker A: I mean, practicing getting pregnant. [01:19:46] Speaker B: I'm okay with that. Yeah. [01:19:51] Speaker A: Like I said, that's one of our more normal addictions we've been talking about tonight. [01:19:56] Speaker B: That is one of the more normal. [01:19:58] Speaker A: Ones, I don't think. [01:19:58] Speaker B: If you have a sex addiction, please contact. [01:20:01] Speaker A: No, we'd like to talk about it on the radio. Tell us about all your sexy things. [01:20:05] Speaker B: Dude, we might have to make a show out of that one. Weird. No, maybe not that. Could that. Your face just then it's like, oh, my God, I'm in my element. And you. Your face just made me feel like a weirdo. [01:20:18] Speaker A: Yeah, because I was like, are you sure you want to bring that onto the radio? [01:20:21] Speaker B: I'm sure I want to bring everything. [01:20:22] Speaker A: About keeping this pg. [01:20:23] Speaker B: Now you want to go and talk. [01:20:24] Speaker A: About that on the radio? [01:20:25] Speaker B: Yeah, but like, we're both adhd. Nothing is pg. Nothing. [01:20:30] Speaker A: We need to get a P. We can need to get an M rate. [01:20:32] Speaker B: This is quite entertaining. Show, actually, I'm not gonna lie. I don't know if anyone else finds it entertaining, but I'm having. [01:20:39] Speaker A: Listening. [01:20:40] Speaker B: I'm actually having fun. I'm actually having fun learning about these things. [01:20:44] Speaker A: That is quite interesting. [01:20:45] Speaker B: I feel quite normal right now. Do you? Because. I don't know. You don't. Is that because you're addicted to eating sponges? [01:20:51] Speaker A: Yeah, I think so. I think it's because I was on this list. I felt called out here. [01:20:57] Speaker B: What do you call it? You're in. You're in. What do you call it? [01:21:02] Speaker A: I know when you. [01:21:03] Speaker B: When you've gone to rehab and you're. Oh, God. Oh, man. Yeah. You're sober right now. Oh, dude. Yeah. Anyway. [01:21:18] Speaker A: Yeah, we got another one here. Addiction to being in a cast, seeking out injury or casting for comfort. [01:21:26] Speaker B: That's random. Where are you finding these? This is. [01:21:30] Speaker A: This is Chat gtp, just like you. She. She got me to download Chat GTP tonight. Is it GPT? [01:21:37] Speaker B: Do you know what? Let's talk about remission. It's remission. I knew it was an R word. Thank you. Thank you. [01:21:42] Speaker A: Remission, Sobriety. [01:21:44] Speaker B: What about people addicted to using Chat GPT? Me. [01:21:47] Speaker A: That's you. [01:21:48] Speaker B: No, it's not me. I've only been experimenting with it because I've just learned about it. [01:21:52] Speaker A: Oh, you experimented with him. Chat ggb? [01:21:55] Speaker B: Not like that. But I'm pretty sure some people do treat GPT as their partner. Google that. [01:22:00] Speaker A: No, no, I don't need to. I've got stories on it of people messaging their Chat GTP and going, hey, baby, how are you? How's your day? [01:22:08] Speaker B: I actually know of someone that does. [01:22:10] Speaker A: That doing the same thing back. [01:22:11] Speaker B: That is why I feel a. [01:22:13] Speaker A: Like a good relationship. [01:22:14] Speaker B: I'm glad you said that because I know of someone that does this and it's not unheard. Has told many people to try Chat jpt. And that's how I actually started thinking, how is this possible? And what are the. What are the, like, the realms that you could go to? [01:22:33] Speaker A: Well, I think with this, they program. They program. Like when you use it on your phone, it gets. [01:22:38] Speaker B: Becomes personalized. [01:22:39] Speaker A: Yeah, I know you. By having conversations with you. [01:22:42] Speaker B: I need to ask Chat GPT. What. [01:22:44] Speaker A: What do you know about me? [01:22:46] Speaker B: Oh, my God. [01:22:47] Speaker A: Do you know my dirty secrets?

I'm not gonna say that. That's wrong. We have 25 minutes before our dinner gets here anyway. AI makes life easier. I get that. But it's, you know, it depends on what you use it for. [01:23:09] Speaker A: Well, I loved for it bringing up these talking points for us. [01:23:14] Speaker B: You're on fire. [01:23:15] Speaker A: We could have never brought these talking points up. Well, I couldn't. I couldn't. I wouldn't own about half of these. [01:23:19] Speaker B: No, you're pulling out some good ones. [01:23:22] Speaker A: Other thanks to you. [01:23:24] Speaker B: Yeah, well, you know. Well, I can thank someone else for that one. This is not okay. [01:23:30] Speaker A: Addiction to popping bubble wrap. [01:23:32] Speaker B: That is a good one. [01:23:33] Speaker A: That's. That's. [01:23:34] Speaker B: That's. [01:23:35] Speaker A: Is that not an everyone addiction? Does not everyone love popping bubble wrap? I. I like says here compulsive or stress relieving behavior. They do, yes. [01:23:46] Speaker B: Yes. [01:23:46] Speaker A: Have it. [01:23:47] Speaker B: They do sell them in sensory shops. Yeah. [01:23:50] Speaker A: So I have a little sensory box that I keep at home that I use when I'm feeling very, very overwhelmed. And I can feel that my emotions are getting on top of me. [01:23:59] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:23:59] Speaker A: I go to this little sensory box. [01:24:00] Speaker B: What have you got in there? [01:24:01] Speaker A: And basically it's a box of toys. Toys. It's a box of little kids. [01:24:04] Speaker B: This is not like my box of. Or drawer of toys. [01:24:07] Speaker A: Not that little box of toys. That's a separate box. Okay. That's. That's in the adult section of the bedroom. Okay. [01:24:13] Speaker B: What box are you talking about? [01:24:14] Speaker A: This little box is not my bottom shelf. Yeah, it's a white box. It's not your box. It's my box. It has the little. It has. It has one of the. The little button things you press that make the air bubbles go up and down and the little circles float on the. The stick things. [01:24:36] Speaker B: It's. [01:24:36] Speaker A: It's just a big sensory box. It's something for you to play with without it playing with you. Jen's having a bit of a meltdown here. I think I might have. Might have gotten. So I'll go on to the next one. So we've got an addiction to licking or chewing batteries. I think she's about to have a conniption, guys. She's about to fall on the floor in the back room from a. From a laughing fit. So we've got an addiction to licking or chewing batteries. So I've heard about. Leaking batteries is a risky compulsion possibly tied to metallic taste cravings. But I heard you can get like little, like on the end of your tongue. Maybe it's like a little. Again, a little masochistic thing. A little. [01:25:25] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe. [01:25:27] Speaker A: Are you all right? Do you need a breath? Do you need a sip of water? [01:25:32] Speaker B: I do need a Sip of water. But there was a. There was a meme that. There was a meme that came up when you're talking about was it. [01:25:38] Speaker A: Was it right tied in there? [01:25:40] Speaker B: No. That my cutie Mao Mao is not pink because I'm brown. Rosby. [01:25:44] Speaker A: I don't. I know. Have you not heard that one? [01:25:50] Speaker B: No, sorry. [01:25:51] Speaker A: I have not seen that one. [01:25:52] Speaker B: Sorry. [01:25:54] Speaker A: She's dying now. She's dying. She's dying in the corner. [01:25:58] Speaker B: All right. [01:25:59] Speaker A: Addiction to being in a car. Seeking out injury or casting for comfort. Addiction to pain. Masochism. Outside sexual contact context. Craving for non sexual pain. So, like. [01:26:09] Speaker B: Oh, non sexual. [01:26:09] Speaker A: I guess, like, you know, we're not in the bedroom. You're just out in the street. [01:26:12] Speaker B: I'm human again. Punch me in the guts. [01:26:14] Speaker A: Punch me in the side. [01:26:15] Speaker B: Almost human. [01:26:16] Speaker A: Poke me in the eyeball. I'm just trying to take this conversation elsewhere. [01:26:20] Speaker B: Feel you're talking about eyeballs. You're taking me straight back to the kitchen. Okay, okay. [01:26:24] Speaker A: We're going to the next one. Going to the next one. [01:26:26] Speaker B: Go somewhere else. [01:26:27] Speaker A: Addiction to eating soap or shampoo. Again, we picked the wrong addiction. You said that one. Addiction to picking scabs. Addiction to filing or grinding teeth. Also called dental mutilation. Grinding teeth. Have you ever heard someone grind teeth before? [01:26:45] Speaker B: Yes. [01:26:46] Speaker A: It drives me crazy. I gotta admit, I. I do it quite often. I'm pretty sure you guys can still hear Jen cracking it up here in the studio on my mic. You might as well just turn that back on, Jen. [01:27:00] Speaker B: I've just gone to places that I can't discuss. [01:27:03] Speaker A: She can't pull her brain back out now. [01:27:05] Speaker B: I. I have a brain. It's. It's just switched off. I just need to drink some more water. There is. Have you heard about people addicted to amputating their limbs because they identify as someone without legs and things like that? [01:27:18] Speaker A: I mean, you've only got so many limbs to amputate though. [01:27:20] Speaker B: I know, I know. Oh, that reminds me of this movie. Bad batch. Weird. Watch. It. [01:27:28] Speaker A: Also reminds me of the caterpillar one. [01:27:30] Speaker B: Caterpillar one. [01:27:32] Speaker A: What's that one? [01:27:32] Speaker B: I don't know. We're getting sidetracked. I'm just trying to steer away from the sexual innuendo. [01:27:37] Speaker A: Addiction to smelling books or magazines. [01:27:39] Speaker B: I mean, I like the smell of books. [01:27:41] Speaker A: A fresh book. Not a magazine, though. What is wrong with you? [01:27:46] Speaker B: I don't know. [01:27:50] Speaker A: I love the smell of an old book. It's not the same as, like reading something on a. On a. What do they call it? A Kindle or A. [01:27:56] Speaker B: It's worse when the pages are stuck together. [01:27:58] Speaker A: Why? [01:27:59] Speaker B: The patient sucks. [01:28:00] Speaker A: Again. That's magazines, not books. Addiction to drawing blood from yourself. Compulsion that may involve masochistic tendencies. I guess it's like a. You know, that's a regular cutting and stuff. That's drawing blood in any way. [01:28:16] Speaker B: Yep. [01:28:17] Speaker A: Addiction to biting nails until. [01:28:19] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, what's that called? [01:28:20] Speaker A: Until bleeding? No, until bleeding. [01:28:21] Speaker B: What is that? Of. [01:28:22] Speaker A: Of ony kophasia? I don't even know. Onychophagia. Addiction to biting your nails until bleeding. So not just biting your nails, but biting them so much that you make them bleed. [01:28:35] Speaker B: Right. [01:28:36] Speaker A: This is a bit of an OCD one. Addiction to organizing objects by color. Yeah, that's obsessive need for order to be part of ocd. So, you know, like when you. You have all your books on your shelf and you have to organize them from, like, light blue, blue to dark blue to light red to dark red. [01:28:51] Speaker B: Yeah, that was in that weird show with the husband that had to have the cans all lined up and stuff. There is a place in Perth that does facilitate mental health recovery through weird addictions and things like that. [01:29:10] Speaker A: What's it called?

Yeah, they do have lovely rehabilitation centers across Perth, so. Yep. Oh, this is just taking me to places tonight. What have we got? Moths and cobwebs. What's that? An addiction to moths and cobwebs. Is that a thing? [01:30:01] Speaker A: People have the opposite of an addiction. Like a. [01:30:04] Speaker B: A phobia. Like a phobia. [01:30:07] Speaker A: A phobia of moths. Moths and spider webs and things like that. [01:30:11] Speaker B: Never. Did you know that my fear of snails is called Molascophobia? [01:30:16] Speaker A: Oh, it's an actual thing. [01:30:17] Speaker B: It is. But you want to know something even grosser? That I love oysters. Kilpatrick. And they're from the mollusk family. [01:30:24] Speaker A: Yeah, they look like they would taste. [01:30:26] Speaker B: No, don't. Please don't say that.

[01:30:36] Speaker B: Dude, don't, don't, don't don't. But see, I'm gonna need to go to one of these now you're polluting my brain and you're trying to get me steered away from my oysters. [01:30:45] Speaker A: Both have the texture of snot. I'll put it like that. [01:30:50] Speaker B: No mushrooms when you cook them. No. They don't taste like sn. [01:30:54] Speaker A: That rubbery texture. [01:30:56] Speaker B: They have that eating feeling. Yeah. [01:30:57] Speaker A: Yeah, it's horrible. That's why I can't eat mushrooms. But I love flavor. [01:31:00] Speaker B: You love the flavor? [01:31:01] Speaker A: Yeah. I put them in things and then take them out to get the flavor. And like, what? I'm making a broth. Make a nice mushroom broth.

I didn't. I really didn't. I knew it was an interesting subject and discussing it just took me to places I wasn't ready to go to. So, I mean, I hope you're having as much fun as we are.

So anything really artsy does it. [01:38:08] Speaker B: Is it limited to being 25 for that? [01:38:10] Speaker A: Yeah, it's. It's a young. I think headspace, a lot of it is about young people and really trying to connect with those young people in the community. [01:38:20] Speaker B: Okay. And how do so There's a Headspace website. [01:38:23] Speaker A: There is a website you can definitely google. Headspace. They also have an email address that is. Hello, Headspace Rock R O C K for Rockingham. [01:38:35] Speaker B: Oh yeah.

We'll put that up. [01:38:52] Speaker A: We're also starting a multicultural group for young people. [01:38:55] Speaker B: Awesome. [01:38:56] Speaker A: So I wonder what that'll be about. I guess just interacting with people your age, getting to learn about all the different cultures in your area and about. [01:39:02] Speaker B: The levels of spice and how to measure them. Them. [01:39:08] Speaker A: Good. All righty. Last one we've got here. The Rotary Club of Rockingham. So next holidays I believe it's in September. So say September 2025. The Rotary Club of Rockingham is putting on this really cool weekend for young people. [01:39:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:39:25] Speaker A: So if your kids are between 14 and 17 years old, they're doing this awesome weekend away for kids in Serpentine, fully sponsored by the Rotary Club of Rockingham. So that's so incredible. [01:39:40] Speaker B: Rotary Club are like behind most of the community. [01:39:43] Speaker A: Great, great work. And it's a free weekend of fun. So imagine. Oh, it's free weekend for 14 to 17 year old. [01:39:51] Speaker B: It's free. [01:39:52] Speaker A: It's free. It's completely free. But you have to register. You got to register. Quitting sick. [01:39:57] Speaker B: Yeah. Wow. [01:39:58] Speaker A: So the things that they're. [01:40:00] Speaker B: I think that's good opportunity for low income families to have their kids go and do things. [01:40:05] Speaker A: Can afford to do holiday care. [01:40:07] Speaker B: No. [01:40:07] Speaker A: I was put in CYC when I was younger but I'm surprised my mum could afford that. [01:40:12] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:40:12] Speaker A: The price of child care these days is insane. It's more than most people earn in a day. [01:40:17] Speaker B: Yeah. And it kind of defeats the purpose of actually it's weird. [01:40:21] Speaker A: So this is great for the 14 to 17 year olds to get out for the weekend, have some fun with some people that are their age. So it says here that they will build leadership and confidence, boost communication and problem solving. That's always great. Make new friends, of course. And challenge yourself and have fun. So that's in September 2025. It'll be in Serpentine, fully sponsored by the Rotary Club of Rockingham. So if you want more details, you to check out Facebook for the Rotary Club of Rockingham.

But hey, if anyone's got any activities for people in my age group. [01:41:26] Speaker A: Yeah, let's have some. [01:41:27] Speaker B: I'm not talking about my mentality, but my actual age. [01:41:30] Speaker A: Yeah, let's be honest. [01:41:30] Speaker B: Oh, I could go to some of those. [01:41:34] Speaker A: Your mentality does not match your age. [01:41:36] Speaker B: My mentality is matching my hunger right now, I think. But it'd be, you'd be happy to know they're only five minutes away. So by the time we finish the show, we can eat and clean this studio because we're on roster to clean. [01:41:49] Speaker A: We are going to clean. [01:41:50] Speaker B: So we have been trying to clean in between songs after. I had my laughing fit. Oh, I had a few. I had a few. I'm having the best day, I gotta say.

[01:42:14] Speaker B: Look, I've been doing like I said said today or I said at the beginning of the show. I did a session with Tim from Embrace Breath and it was the sacred ancestral clearing and DNA healing. And I did say I should pretty much mention exactly what it is. [01:42:31] Speaker A: Yes, you were going to talk about it. Yeah, explain so what exactly it is. [01:42:35] Speaker B: A powerful and profound combination of working with the spirit, energetic alchemy, multi dimensional healing, timeline collapsing and communication with the higher self to create the most unique and pure wave of healing throughout the entire bloodline. How it works is a guided through a shamanic style journey. We enter the sacred valley of the ancestors, joined by both the ancestors ancestors and the higher self aspects of all current family members. We perform a powerful cleansing removal of all negative emotional energy, limiting beliefs, contracts, oppression, suppression, repression, negative energies, entities, ancient spells, curses and hexes, and so much more, cleansing the bloodlines of these old energetic imprints. We then bring in three powerful activations to nurture, ground and reconnect the family lines to their own innate knowing and heart truths. We then travel back along the timeline to conception where we continue to energetically heal DNA whilst reprogramming the unconscious mind with wisdom of the higher self to install and activate all positive emotions, beliefs, wisdom, learning and resolution. They need to move forward in life with success. This process really is such a work of Art. It really was. It was birthed from a place of great understanding of the sciences and principles of a combination of many different powerful modalities. It was channeled through by spirit over seven years ago and is pure magic in motion. And honestly, I feel transformed. And I have just had the best day after that. And the clients I saw afterwards really reaped the benefits of that. But then this show has reaped the benefits of my happy. [01:44:25] Speaker A: I gotta admit, you said alchemist, and my mind automatically just went to, like, Nicholas, so mellow, inventor of the philosopher's stone. You know, wizards and magic and fairy tales. [01:44:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Okay. I don't. Yeah, Alchemy. Okay. [01:44:39] Speaker A: Alchemy. Alchemy. [01:44:40] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:44:40] Speaker A: You know, back in the day. [01:44:41] Speaker B: Back in the day, we did go to medieval. Yeah, that was magic. [01:44:45] Speaker A: Science was magic. [01:44:46] Speaker B: I feel magic right now. [01:44:47] Speaker A: Science was magic. [01:44:49] Speaker B: Yeah. Well, I mean, is it. Science is science. Magic is magic. [01:44:54] Speaker A: You can prove science is magic to anyone that doesn't know what science is. [01:45:02] Speaker B: I think magic is anything that's magic. [01:45:06] Speaker A: I mean, I could call the computer magic because I got no idea how that thing functions. [01:45:11] Speaker B: Oh, well, that's your next thing. I'm going to teach you how to do this driving thing and how to do what I do over here. In between being amazing and purely entertaining, I do pick the songs and the ads and do do all the things over here. So that is your next challenge. [01:45:28] Speaker A: Should you. I'm gonna bring in some of my playlist. [01:45:32] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:45:33] Speaker A: The unknowns that you haven't heard of yet. [01:45:35] Speaker B: I have heard of some. I just haven't put my playlist in because I've been so busy. [01:45:40] Speaker A: But you did say that you have to put it through YouTube. [01:45:42] Speaker B: I do have to put it through YouTube. I did just get to learn Spotify and how to do that. And then now I have to go through YouTube. But I've got. [01:45:48] Speaker A: Wait, is there an Apple Music one as well? Them? [01:45:50] Speaker B: Negatory. [01:45:51] Speaker A: No, all our music's on Apple music. [01:45:53] Speaker B: No, but yeah, so, I mean, we've had a very entertaining show.
