Ep. 166: Weird Addictions, Manatees, and Arranged-Marriages

If there's one thing that cable-televisions 'TLC' has actually taught the world about over the years, it's that people often do strange things. On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat get their fix as they wean their way through a complex discussion regarding some of the strangest individual addictions humanity has seen over the years, from exceptionally-odd habits, to downright destructive tendencies and more. The guys also tackle their usual dose of 'odd news' and odds and ends this week as they update listeners on all sorts of headlines and happenings that they probably missed for a reason. Did a well-known American sportscaster risk his career due to a 'head-scratching' addiction? Did an 18th-century human anomaly's addiction redefine the term 'eating-disorder' forever? Are some mundane habits really much more common that most believe? What is average's Ohioan's likelihood of experiencing an alien abduction? For answers to these questions and too many more, give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
