#89 Urban Legends & Pain & unexpected (Random Strangeness 18)

Exploring High Strangeness: From Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to Medical Mysteries and Unique Homes 

 

In this episode of 'High Strangeness,' Tony and co-host Anthony dive into a variety of unusual and intriguing topics. They start by discussing Anthony's son's recent experiences with Brazilian jiu-jitsu, providing insights into the challenges and rewards of learning a contact sport. The conversation then shifts to 'The Doc,' a TV show about a doctor with amnesia, which leads into a discussion about a rare medical condition called CIPA (congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis). The hosts explain how this condition affects patients' ability to feel pain and its potential dangers. They also explore some of the world's strangest homes, including a butterfly-covered house and a converted water tower in Seal Beach, California. Finally, they touch on eerie urban legends like the 'Slaughterhouse Canyon' in Arizona and the 'Colorado Ridge Home Asylum,' and conclude with a look at the niche job of chick sexing. This episode offers a blend of the bizarre, the medical, and the architectural, all underscored by a sense of curiosity and wonder.
