Exploring High Strangeness: Geographic Tongue, Pica Disorder, Haunted Saloon, and Bizarre Animals
In this episode of High Strangeness, host Tony and co-host Anthony discuss various unusual and unexpected phenomena in reality. The show begins with an update on Anthony's frozen dessert food truck business, which is ramping up as winter ends. They then delve into a series of random strange topics, starting with the mysterious deaths of Gene Hackman, his wife, and his dog. Anthony shares his personal experience with geographic tongue, a rare, often misunderstood condition involving cracks and discolored patches on the tongue. The conversation shifts to pica, an eating disorder where individuals consume non-food items like dirt and hair, and its potential health risks. They also explore the haunted history of Captain Tony's Saloon in Florida, including its past as a morgue and site of executions. The episode concludes with discussions on bizarre animals like the Dumbo Octopus, known for its ear-like fins, and the Macropinna Microstoma, a fish with a transparent head. The hosts wrap up by examining abandoned structures such as Linwood Hall in Pennsylvania and Elda Castle in New York. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize the importance of keeping an open mind about the strange and unexpected aspects of our reality.
