Speaker 1 (00:00):
I remember Diane talking about the show premiering during Durham.
Did anybody watch the season premiere of My Strange Addiction?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Was it? Did it just happen this week?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I know it was, it was recent. I don't know
exactly the date that it aired. I just remember you
talking about like a new season was coming. I did
not watch it. I did not watch it. I did
read about it. Yeah, one part, specifically because it centered
around somebody from Alexandria. Really yes, Now, I believe she
(00:37):
has moved since, or I shouldn't say since she has
moved at some point, but she grew up here. I
don't know if anybody knows Catherine Andrea or Andrea A
N D R E A. Catherine, Catherine Andrea, Katherine Andrea,
(01:00):
thirty one years old, but she was on the seventh
season premiere of My Strange Addiction.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I can't remember. Diane definitely gave us a preview.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You mentioned that the that the season was going to
start off.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
But she even talked about some of the addictions. But
none of them come to mind now, not this one.
But what was the What was the one? Was the
woman eating meat at a raw Hamburger meat getting her pedicure. Y, Yeah,
that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
The reason that I know that is she shared the
episode with Katherine, so not together, but like part of
it was Catherine and part of it was the person
who ate the raw hamburger meat. And yes, she would
go to like get her nails done and she would
walk in. She would essentially run to Harris Teeter get
raw hamburger meat and then sit there and eat it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
While she was getting her nails done.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
But that wasn't Catherine, by the way, that is that's
barely an addiction compared to what Catherine's got going on.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Okay, the meat thing was weird, No, this is weird. Sorry,
the meat thing was different.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
How do I find.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Catherine or is there anybody else in the world that
is like Catherine?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Are people that watched the episode right now just smiling
ear to ear because they know what the addiction was?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, so let's do this. If somebody could track down
Catherine for me. God bless you got a hoodie number
two once I tell you what it is. If you
have it, also call me number three. If you watch
my strange addiction, call me please so have it?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Also, is it not that strange?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh, it's strange.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
But but not so much that somebody else wouldn't also
do the same behavior, right.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I would be I would on the surface, I say no,
But doctor Judy taught me a long time ago on
love phones that if somebody's doing it, somebody else is too.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And she's a great passenger on the way back from
the island, and.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Never spoke a word to her, three and a half
hours in a car, never said a word to her.
But doctor Judy used to say that that you're not.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
The only one to you personally.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
No, I didn't talk to her in the one car, right,
but if somebody would call and go, hey, doctor Judy,
blah blah blah, she'd go, first of all, you're not
the only one this has happened to.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Why don't you seem giddy? I can't tell where this
is going to go.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
On the recent seventh season premiere of My Strange Addiction,
thirty one year old Alexandria native Catherine Andrea prepares an omelet.
The meal looks rather yummy, I'm reading, by the way,
looks rather yummy, stuffed with fresh spinach and gooey cheese,
until Catherine slides it off her plate.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And into a blender.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Once it has been pulsed into sort of a smoothie,
she pours it into a glass, pops in a straw,
and says breakfast is served. She then presses a finger
down on her left nostril and sucks the omelet into
her nose.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Through the right.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
She snorts her food, all of it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So not just breakfast, No, not just omelets, all.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Of her food. She snorts it. What is the name
of this condition that I don't know?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
At the time of filming, Andrew had been snorting all
of her food and beverages for five straight years. There's
even footage of Andrea sniffing up God's of liquefied avocado toast,
which she said she loves.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
She loves avocado toast. You are not so much a fan.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I'm not, but I've only ever eaten it. Maybe it's
different if I snort it. When asked, why don't you chew,
she said.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I that, elliot, that sounds like how you would treat it.
Nate to it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
She says, I think it's awful, and I think it's primitive.
Now she does note that over five years she's lost
thirty pounds, but this was never done as a weight
loss thing. She said, listen, I've lost weight. My teeth
are in much better shape. But by the way, it's
not like it's not like fireworks went off in her mouth.
(05:50):
But she's saying that that's not why I did it.
I didn't do it to lose weight. I didn't do
it because, like I was, I was eating like really
sugary foods and not brushing.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
My teeth or drinking ton soda. She does drink soda.
Threw her nose.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But what happened to this chick drinks? I mean, honestly,
it's everything you said.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
She's thirty one, right, Yes, what happened in her twenties
that flipped the switch?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It sounds like she's anti chewing. She finds herself to
be chewing, but she had been chewing up until then.
You don't have her origin story.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
When I was in community college, which don't you believe
it's got where would she have gone nova?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Probably I gotta talk to this woman. When I was
in community.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
College, I got dared to snort a grape kool aid
jammer and I don't know what it did, but it
just changed something. I think it was just a weird
time for my brain development. I started snorting food and
drinks more often, and then next thing you know, I
did that exclusively for five years.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
The thing is, though, a kool Aid jammer, isn't that
a juice like that is already liquid liquid? Yeah, you
didn't have to make the step that I'm going to
blend up everything.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's actually an easy step.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Please explain.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
No, no, But let's say, let's say you did it
with a with a jammer, a kool aid, right, and
you were like, son of a bitch, I like.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
This, I like this. And then you did it with
a like a like a peach tea, and you were like, no, Foolin'
pretty good. I wonder what my food would taste like now.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
She probably did multiple drinks and then was like like,
for example, my buddy handicapped Vince at one point when
he had his jaw surgery, he had to pure everything
in a blender, so he would do spaghetti and meatballs,
hamburgers like he He was like, I want to eat,
but I just don't want to drink protein drinks.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I want to eat, so he would blend everything.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
So all I'm saying is I don't think that if
you were like I really like how this drink is
in my nose.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'll just make all my foods a drink now. Do
I think.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
A steak is a different consistency than kool aid.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Or water, or an iced tea or green tea? She
likes coffee?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Ugh?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Oh you know what she does?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Say?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Ice cream? Bad? Brain freeze the.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Mass that she may have liked previous to the snorting.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
No, she still like it, but even though it hurts her.
Have you ever got a brain freeze from ice cream?
That's awful? But still the ice cream? Cut out? Ice cream?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Good point the but but I also don't eat ice
cream fast If she gets a brain freeze every single
time she's snorting.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Ice cream slower inhill, I don't think. I don't think
that's gonna make a difference. Said it goes through?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Is it dangerous?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Say again? Like?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
There are long term consequences to this.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Primary care doctors have warned her that her food snorting
could lead to choking, lung disease, and a slew of
other potentially fatal complications. These risks have never occurred to her,
She admits, however, she still does it.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But do people do stuff like that all the time? Wow?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I don't think we've ever come across a story like this.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
No, never. And she's from our backyard. I know, Yeah,
she's from Alexandria.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Now I actually in Diane's backyard. Now, I don't know
if Justin is from Virginia or Justin is from Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
But she went on a date with him. Oh god,
and she snorted on the date and he he yelled
at her. What the f it's who?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
This is at a restaurant if it's a dinner date?
Or did they bring prepared food to like a park?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No? No, how did she snore? I'm looking right now,
I'm looking right now. It says that m oh, I
gotta find was this on the episode Here we Go
in it? Oh? So it has to be out out
west where she lives.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Now, Catherine meets Justin, a man she's been dating for
six months, but is somehow never eaten in front of
Oh no, Diane, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Here, and I've been there.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Here we go. Wait, what is it? I got it?
Justin is here? Justin, for the love of God, call me.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Catherine meets Justin, a man she's been dating for six months,
but has somehow never eaten in front of They meet
for lunch at the District Biscuit Company in del Rey.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
They've come in here. Oh, I was so rude to them.
I ate with my mouth.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Wait, so what did District Biscuit Company have to do
for her?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
She asked the server if the kitchen can purreate her order.
They do not have a blender, but they can offer
her a plate of runny grits. When her ice latte arrives,
she wordlessly jams the straw into her nose and does
her thing. A stream of coffee dribbles out of her nostril,
and she demurely wipes it away. Justin is horrified and says, Catherine,
(11:16):
what the f are you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
If I swear to God, if somebody, if somebody from
the District Biscuit Company, please call me.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
But did that all play out on the show?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It sounds like it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
No, They refer to it as a viral clip. Yeah,
look that up. I am look that up?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Can I go to line one?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Hi, good morning, Yes, Hi?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Who is this?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
My name is Brooke. I was calling because I watched
this episode and as soon as you soon as you
opened your mouth about it, I was like, this girl.
The crazy part is is that she dated this guy,
like you said, for like six months, and she never
went on it. He kept asking, let's go out to dinner,
(12:00):
let's go out to dinner, and she kept finding excuses
not to go out with him. Right down, she knew
that he was going to think she was a lack adoodle, right,
So finally she goes to her friend's house, who knows
about her addiction when you know, and then she praades
the steak with her friend, right, So she's like trying
to prepare, like how she's going to tell this guy
(12:23):
that she snorts her food. So so she doesn't really
she doesn't ever come up with a solution. I think
what she goes when she, like in the scene that
you're describing, is exactly what happened. She just sits there
and this nonchalantly just goes ahead, and he looks mortified
and even and she's like, can you prade my few food?
(12:45):
And they're like no, and she's like, well, what's the
thing that you have that's the runny or you know,
the most smooth consistency, And so she snorts Chris at
a table on.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Can I ask you this man?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
You sound like very nice lady if you were if
you were dating a guy and it's new in the
relationship and you finally go to dinner and that takes place,
is that a deal breaker?
Speaker 5 (13:10):
A thousand person who's saying no, I don't know, Like like,
I'm just thinking, like maybe maybe like them enough, you
stick with it, you stick with it.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I think the issue for me when I was watching
it is that they were together for six months, right, Like,
how do you? I mean you tell about you know,
your job and different quirks about who you are on
day three, right, so for six months you've held this.
I think I would be more upset about the withholding
of the information, not.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Me, not me.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'd be more upset that she's snorting her food.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Yeah, but she did say in the episode that she
prefers it that way, that she tastes the food better.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Oh yeah, By the way, you're right, she does say
that you're you are you you you you taste it
better and it has I don't want to say more meaning,
but your relationship with food is stronger when it goes
through your nose.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah, I don't know what she's also storting beside her
food from Justin.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
For the love of God, please please.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I hope he calls, because it was like it was
the worst type of secondhand embarrassment, Like you're sitting there
and you couldn't look away. You're just like, oh my God,
save her, get out, get out. It was just it's
a doozy.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Now she did a thank you, ma'am, thank you Justin.
You know what she does say. She does give you
some tips though, did you find the clip? No?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And is a district biscuit company not embracing this disposure.
I don't see anything on their Instagram about it.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
What this is great press for them. That's customer service
to get her grits.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Man Josh, by the way, has already posted that he
will not be doing this on Monday.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
For fear. You may ask him to No. No, I
wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
She does say one thing, you do get some hacks though,
like you do learn some things from her.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
For example, they said what's the worst thing to snort?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And she did say, even though she did it on
the show eggs because eggs take on a very rubbery consistency.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
So like you snort them, but it is thick, thick.
I don't want to start anything.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Now. I understand there may be a scale, but it
all sounds awful.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
At one point, she was asked, if you're sick or congested,
how does snorting your food work?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Great question. No, it's a very good question. She says.
Snorting food actually helps me with that.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
If I get really sick, I would snort curry or
something really spicy.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It would instantly clear my sinuses. Bam. Also I snort
day quill.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
That sounds unhealthy.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It sounds worse for her than food.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, why, there is nothing here?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Tell me you could get the lung disease from the
food and beverage.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
There is nothing, I promise you.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
There is nothing on a day quill bottle that says
it may no, It may say take orally, but it
doesn't say I guarantee you.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
It doesn't say anything about snorting it.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
When you search can you snort day quill? The first
result is the National Helpline for Mental Health, Drug and Alcoholicies.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
How do I track this chick down out in LA? Now?
Why did she move to l US Yeah? I don't
know why. It just says that she no longer.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But I mean, listen, she went out with Justin here,
so she hasn't been gone that long.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I want to talk to Justin. I do too, I
do too.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
District Biscuit Company.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
What's the other great question? She was asked?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Tell us it's about cleaning up her face. No, they said, oh,
and she demurely dotted her nose with an African Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well, when you when when you're out to dinner with
Scott and you get a little sauce right here, do.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You scrub your face? No, you just wipe it a
little bit. She's still a lady. She's still her nose.
She's still a lady.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Do you have a favorite type of straw for snorting?
I thought that was a great question.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I mean, like glass metal.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
My very, very very favorite straw is the thirty ounce
Stanley straw.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Oh that right there, I'm ready to conduct the orchestra.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The forty ounce straw starts to get kind of on
the large size.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh no, this is forty ounces too big.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That's that's taking up too much of my nostril.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Josh, you're in luck.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
The thirty ounce Stanley straw is perfect. It's a perfect
fit in the Nostril.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Where's the custom ones we got for the holidays? Those
are thirty ounce.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Mine's in the office.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Josh, yes, you're begging the gay. No, he said, he
will not do it.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
No, No, that's that I that I wouldn't ask them. Well,
I would ask somebody to Christen's dustin here.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yeah, Oh my goodness, this woman is crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well Elliott, Elliott, what that's not going to get her
to call?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm sorry, No, you know what.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
The most normal thing in the world is snorting all
your food.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
She's different.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
She's I'm not saying she's clinically crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I know, but I've asked you to be careful with
the seaword.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I want to find. I want to find Justin. Diane.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You're at Ramparts for the first time with Scott. He said, Hey,
do me a favor this hamburger and fries. You pured
that up a little bit at a little water, give
it some loosen it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Morgan writes, I never watched that show, but happened to
flip it on for this episode. I had no idea
it was the season premiere. I couldn't even keep watching it.
It was so disgusting, even the still image of the lot.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yes, but she's very she's very demure.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
No, no, because you think that she's just, you know,
like getting after it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
No, she's so if she's not chewing with her mouth.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Open, if you're sitting at a nearby table, right, you wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
A thousand percent you would know.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
So stop saying that she's demure.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I have five plates in front of me. This chick's
got like glasses lined up.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay, I forgot about the setup. Where am I going?
Line three? Hi elliot in the morning? That was, Yeah, Hi,
who's this?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
It's fair?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'm doing great? What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
I got a question.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
And lady that throws up through her I mean that
eats through her nose. Yes, she snorts her food.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah, I wonder if she throws up.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Did she throw up through her nose through her mouth?
You know what?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's a great question. I hope it's through I hope
it's to her mouth. I would think so, I would
think so. Yeah, she said that she is trying to
thank you sir, that she is trying to introduce food
to her mouth again. So she's but then like not fully,
(20:47):
not fully well, she did try to go cold turkey
at one point on the heels of Justin She no,
I'm being serious.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
She was like, I tried to I tried to like
break it.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
But then she said she was at home one night
and she was having a couple of drinks and she
did a shot of gold Schlager through her nose and
then she was right back into it. She drinks swined
through her nose. But she she said she did a
gold Schlager through her nose and that was it. Tyler's
(21:19):
pulled up a video. Well, we've been sent this is
it from the District Biscuit company. It looks like this
may be the date.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Okay, it's through Instagram, so I don't know if it's censored.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You did say that.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
He reacts with the.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, I got I'll dump it. If not, Josh will
do unless he's eating through his nose.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Okay, you're ready, yeah, okay.
Speaker 1 (21:46):
Are you doing?
Speaker 3 (21:48):
What are you doing? I really like my coffee.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That is good.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
It's dripping off her face, they said, demure, No, it
looks like she's bobbing for apples in coffee and she's
snorting and the people in.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
The restaurant are laughing.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
They notice, so they answered my question yes first and
experience
I remember Diane talking about the show premiering during Durham.
Did anybody watch the season premiere of My Strange Addiction?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Was it? Did it just happen this week?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I know it was, it was recent. I don't know
exactly the date that it aired. I just remember you
talking about like a new season was coming. I did
not watch it. I did not watch it. I did
read about it. Yeah, one part, specifically because it centered
around somebody from Alexandria. Really yes, Now, I believe she
(00:37):
has moved since, or I shouldn't say since she has
moved at some point, but she grew up here. I
don't know if anybody knows Catherine Andrea or Andrea A
N D R E A. Catherine, Catherine Andrea, Katherine Andrea,
(01:00):
thirty one years old, but she was on the seventh
season premiere of My Strange Addiction.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
I can't remember. Diane definitely gave us a preview.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
You mentioned that the that the season was going to
start off.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
But she even talked about some of the addictions. But
none of them come to mind now, not this one.
But what was the What was the one? Was the
woman eating meat at a raw Hamburger meat getting her pedicure. Y, Yeah,
that's what it was.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
Now.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
The reason that I know that is she shared the
episode with Katherine, so not together, but like part of
it was Catherine and part of it was the person
who ate the raw hamburger meat. And yes, she would
go to like get her nails done and she would
walk in. She would essentially run to Harris Teeter get
raw hamburger meat and then sit there and eat it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
While she was getting her nails done.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
But that wasn't Catherine, by the way, that is that's
barely an addiction compared to what Catherine's got going on.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Okay, the meat thing was weird, No, this is weird. Sorry,
the meat thing was different.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
How do I find.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Catherine or is there anybody else in the world that
is like Catherine?
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Are people that watched the episode right now just smiling
ear to ear because they know what the addiction was?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, so let's do this. If somebody could track down
Catherine for me. God bless you got a hoodie number
two once I tell you what it is. If you
have it, also call me number three. If you watch
my strange addiction, call me please so have it?
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Also, is it not that strange?
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Oh, it's strange.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
But but not so much that somebody else wouldn't also
do the same behavior, right.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I would be I would on the surface, I say no,
But doctor Judy taught me a long time ago on
love phones that if somebody's doing it, somebody else is too.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
And she's a great passenger on the way back from
the island, and.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
Never spoke a word to her, three and a half
hours in a car, never said a word to her.
But doctor Judy used to say that that you're not.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
The only one to you personally.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
No, I didn't talk to her in the one car, right,
but if somebody would call and go, hey, doctor Judy,
blah blah blah, she'd go, first of all, you're not
the only one this has happened to.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Why don't you seem giddy? I can't tell where this
is going to go.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
On the recent seventh season premiere of My Strange Addiction,
thirty one year old Alexandria native Catherine Andrea prepares an omelet.
The meal looks rather yummy, I'm reading, by the way,
looks rather yummy, stuffed with fresh spinach and gooey cheese,
until Catherine slides it off her plate.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
And into a blender.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
Once it has been pulsed into sort of a smoothie,
she pours it into a glass, pops in a straw,
and says breakfast is served. She then presses a finger
down on her left nostril and sucks the omelet into
her nose.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Through the right.
Speaker 1 (04:25):
She snorts her food, all of it.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So not just breakfast, No, not just omelets, all.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Of her food. She snorts it. What is the name
of this condition that I don't know?
Speaker 1 (04:45):
At the time of filming, Andrew had been snorting all
of her food and beverages for five straight years. There's
even footage of Andrea sniffing up God's of liquefied avocado toast,
which she said she loves.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
She loves avocado toast. You are not so much a fan.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
I'm not, but I've only ever eaten it. Maybe it's
different if I snort it. When asked, why don't you chew,
she said.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I that, elliot, that sounds like how you would treat it.
Nate to it.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
She says, I think it's awful, and I think it's primitive.
Now she does note that over five years she's lost
thirty pounds, but this was never done as a weight
loss thing. She said, listen, I've lost weight. My teeth
are in much better shape. But by the way, it's
not like it's not like fireworks went off in her mouth.
(05:50):
But she's saying that that's not why I did it.
I didn't do it to lose weight. I didn't do
it because, like I was, I was eating like really
sugary foods and not brushing.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
My teeth or drinking ton soda. She does drink soda.
Threw her nose.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
But what happened to this chick drinks? I mean, honestly,
it's everything you said.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
She's thirty one, right, Yes, what happened in her twenties
that flipped the switch?
Speaker 3 (06:11):
It sounds like she's anti chewing. She finds herself to
be chewing, but she had been chewing up until then.
You don't have her origin story.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
When I was in community college, which don't you believe
it's got where would she have gone nova?
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Probably I gotta talk to this woman. When I was
in community.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
College, I got dared to snort a grape kool aid
jammer and I don't know what it did, but it
just changed something. I think it was just a weird
time for my brain development. I started snorting food and
drinks more often, and then next thing you know, I
did that exclusively for five years.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
The thing is, though, a kool Aid jammer, isn't that
a juice like that is already liquid liquid? Yeah, you
didn't have to make the step that I'm going to
blend up everything.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
It's actually an easy step.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
Please explain.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
No, no, But let's say, let's say you did it
with a with a jammer, a kool aid, right, and
you were like, son of a bitch, I like.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
This, I like this. And then you did it with
a like a like a peach tea, and you were like, no, Foolin'
pretty good. I wonder what my food would taste like now.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
She probably did multiple drinks and then was like like,
for example, my buddy handicapped Vince at one point when
he had his jaw surgery, he had to pure everything
in a blender, so he would do spaghetti and meatballs,
hamburgers like he He was like, I want to eat,
but I just don't want to drink protein drinks.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
I want to eat, so he would blend everything.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
So all I'm saying is I don't think that if
you were like I really like how this drink is
in my nose.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'll just make all my foods a drink now. Do
I think.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
A steak is a different consistency than kool aid.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Or water, or an iced tea or green tea? She
likes coffee?
Speaker 3 (08:20):
Ugh?
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Oh you know what she does?
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Say?
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Ice cream? Bad? Brain freeze the.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Mass that she may have liked previous to the snorting.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
No, she still like it, but even though it hurts her.
Have you ever got a brain freeze from ice cream?
That's awful? But still the ice cream? Cut out? Ice cream?
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Good point the but but I also don't eat ice
cream fast If she gets a brain freeze every single
time she's snorting.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Ice cream slower inhill, I don't think. I don't think
that's gonna make a difference. Said it goes through?
Speaker 3 (08:49):
Is it dangerous?
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Say again? Like?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
There are long term consequences to this.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Primary care doctors have warned her that her food snorting
could lead to choking, lung disease, and a slew of
other potentially fatal complications. These risks have never occurred to her,
She admits, however, she still does it.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But do people do stuff like that all the time? Wow?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I don't think we've ever come across a story like this.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
No, never. And she's from our backyard. I know, Yeah,
she's from Alexandria.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
Now I actually in Diane's backyard. Now, I don't know
if Justin is from Virginia or Justin is from Los Angeles.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
But she went on a date with him. Oh god,
and she snorted on the date and he he yelled
at her. What the f it's who?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
This is at a restaurant if it's a dinner date?
Or did they bring prepared food to like a park?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
No? No, how did she snore? I'm looking right now,
I'm looking right now. It says that m oh, I
gotta find was this on the episode Here we Go
in it? Oh? So it has to be out out
west where she lives.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Now, Catherine meets Justin, a man she's been dating for
six months, but is somehow never eaten in front of
Oh no, Diane, it's here, it's here, it's here, it's.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Here, and I've been there.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Here we go. Wait, what is it? I got it?
Justin is here? Justin, for the love of God, call me.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Catherine meets Justin, a man she's been dating for six months,
but has somehow never eaten in front of They meet
for lunch at the District Biscuit Company in del Rey.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
They've come in here. Oh, I was so rude to them.
I ate with my mouth.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
Wait, so what did District Biscuit Company have to do
for her?
Speaker 1 (10:50):
She asked the server if the kitchen can purreate her order.
They do not have a blender, but they can offer
her a plate of runny grits. When her ice latte arrives,
she wordlessly jams the straw into her nose and does
her thing. A stream of coffee dribbles out of her nostril,
and she demurely wipes it away. Justin is horrified and says, Catherine,
(11:16):
what the f are you doing?
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:19):
If I swear to God, if somebody, if somebody from
the District Biscuit Company, please call me.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
But did that all play out on the show?
Speaker 2 (11:26):
It sounds like it. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
No, They refer to it as a viral clip. Yeah,
look that up. I am look that up?
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Can I go to line one?
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Elliot in the morning?
Speaker 5 (11:37):
Hi, good morning, Yes, Hi?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Who is this?
Speaker 5 (11:40):
My name is Brooke. I was calling because I watched
this episode and as soon as you soon as you
opened your mouth about it, I was like, this girl.
The crazy part is is that she dated this guy,
like you said, for like six months, and she never
went on it. He kept asking, let's go out to dinner,
(12:00):
let's go out to dinner, and she kept finding excuses
not to go out with him. Right down, she knew
that he was going to think she was a lack adoodle, right,
So finally she goes to her friend's house, who knows
about her addiction when you know, and then she praades
the steak with her friend, right, So she's like trying
to prepare, like how she's going to tell this guy
(12:23):
that she snorts her food. So so she doesn't really
she doesn't ever come up with a solution. I think
what she goes when she, like in the scene that
you're describing, is exactly what happened. She just sits there
and this nonchalantly just goes ahead, and he looks mortified
and even and she's like, can you prade my few food?
(12:45):
And they're like no, and she's like, well, what's the
thing that you have that's the runny or you know,
the most smooth consistency, And so she snorts Chris at
a table on.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
Can I ask you this man?
Speaker 1 (12:59):
You sound like very nice lady if you were if
you were dating a guy and it's new in the
relationship and you finally go to dinner and that takes place,
is that a deal breaker?
Speaker 5 (13:10):
A thousand person who's saying no, I don't know, Like like,
I'm just thinking, like maybe maybe like them enough, you
stick with it, you stick with it.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (13:21):
I think the issue for me when I was watching
it is that they were together for six months, right, Like,
how do you? I mean you tell about you know,
your job and different quirks about who you are on
day three, right, so for six months you've held this.
I think I would be more upset about the withholding
of the information, not.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Me, not me.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I'd be more upset that she's snorting her food.
Speaker 5 (13:45):
Yeah, but she did say in the episode that she
prefers it that way, that she tastes the food better.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Oh yeah, By the way, you're right, she does say
that you're you are you you you you taste it
better and it has I don't want to say more meaning,
but your relationship with food is stronger when it goes
through your nose.
Speaker 5 (14:05):
Yeah, I don't know what she's also storting beside her
food from Justin.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
For the love of God, please please.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
I hope he calls, because it was like it was
the worst type of secondhand embarrassment, Like you're sitting there
and you couldn't look away. You're just like, oh my God,
save her, get out, get out. It was just it's
a doozy.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
Now she did a thank you, ma'am, thank you Justin.
You know what she does say. She does give you
some tips though, did you find the clip? No?
Speaker 3 (14:38):
And is a district biscuit company not embracing this disposure.
I don't see anything on their Instagram about it.
Speaker 2 (14:46):
What this is great press for them. That's customer service
to get her grits.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
Man Josh, by the way, has already posted that he
will not be doing this on Monday.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
For fear. You may ask him to No. No, I
wouldn't do that.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
She does say one thing, you do get some hacks though,
like you do learn some things from her.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
For example, they said what's the worst thing to snort?
Speaker 1 (15:20):
And she did say, even though she did it on
the show eggs because eggs take on a very rubbery consistency.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
So like you snort them, but it is thick, thick.
I don't want to start anything.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Now. I understand there may be a scale, but it
all sounds awful.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
At one point, she was asked, if you're sick or congested,
how does snorting your food work?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Great question. No, it's a very good question. She says.
Snorting food actually helps me with that.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
If I get really sick, I would snort curry or
something really spicy.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
It would instantly clear my sinuses. Bam. Also I snort
day quill.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
That sounds unhealthy.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
It sounds worse for her than food.
Speaker 2 (16:15):
Yeah, why, there is nothing here?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Tell me you could get the lung disease from the
food and beverage.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
There is nothing, I promise you.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
There is nothing on a day quill bottle that says
it may no, It may say take orally, but it
doesn't say I guarantee you.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
It doesn't say anything about snorting it.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
When you search can you snort day quill? The first
result is the National Helpline for Mental Health, Drug and Alcoholicies.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
How do I track this chick down out in LA? Now?
Why did she move to l US Yeah? I don't
know why. It just says that she no longer.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
But I mean, listen, she went out with Justin here,
so she hasn't been gone that long.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
I want to talk to Justin. I do too, I
do too.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
District Biscuit Company.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
What's the other great question? She was asked?
Speaker 4 (17:12):
Tell us it's about cleaning up her face. No, they said, oh,
and she demurely dotted her nose with an African Okay.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
Well, when you when when you're out to dinner with
Scott and you get a little sauce right here, do.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
You scrub your face? No, you just wipe it a
little bit. She's still a lady. She's still her nose.
She's still a lady.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Do you have a favorite type of straw for snorting?
I thought that was a great question.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
I mean, like glass metal.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
My very, very very favorite straw is the thirty ounce
Stanley straw.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Oh that right there, I'm ready to conduct the orchestra.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
The forty ounce straw starts to get kind of on
the large size.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh no, this is forty ounces too big.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
That's that's taking up too much of my nostril.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Josh, you're in luck.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
The thirty ounce Stanley straw is perfect. It's a perfect
fit in the Nostril.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Where's the custom ones we got for the holidays? Those
are thirty ounce.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Mine's in the office.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
Josh, yes, you're begging the gay. No, he said, he
will not do it.
Speaker 2 (18:32):
No, No, that's that I that I wouldn't ask them. Well,
I would ask somebody to Christen's dustin here.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Yeah, Oh my goodness, this woman is crazy.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Well Elliott, Elliott, what that's not going to get her
to call?
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (18:47):
I'm sorry, No, you know what.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
The most normal thing in the world is snorting all
your food.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
She's different.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
She's I'm not saying she's clinically crazy.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
I know, but I've asked you to be careful with
the seaword.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
I want to find. I want to find Justin. Diane.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
You're at Ramparts for the first time with Scott. He said, Hey,
do me a favor this hamburger and fries. You pured
that up a little bit at a little water, give
it some loosen it a little bit.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Uh huh.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Morgan writes, I never watched that show, but happened to
flip it on for this episode. I had no idea
it was the season premiere. I couldn't even keep watching it.
It was so disgusting, even the still image of the lot.
Speaker 2 (19:36):
Yes, but she's very she's very demure.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
No, no, because you think that she's just, you know,
like getting after it.
Speaker 2 (19:44):
No, she's so if she's not chewing with her mouth.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Open, if you're sitting at a nearby table, right, you wouldn't know.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
A thousand percent you would know.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
So stop saying that she's demure.
Speaker 2 (19:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
I have five plates in front of me. This chick's
got like glasses lined up.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
Okay, I forgot about the setup. Where am I going?
Line three? Hi elliot in the morning? That was, Yeah, Hi,
who's this?
Speaker 4 (20:08):
It's fair?
Speaker 5 (20:09):
How are you?
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
I'm doing great? What can I do for you?
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (20:13):
I got a question.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
And lady that throws up through her I mean that
eats through her nose. Yes, she snorts her food.
Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah, I wonder if she throws up.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
Did she throw up through her nose through her mouth?
You know what?
Speaker 1 (20:26):
That's a great question. I hope it's through I hope
it's to her mouth. I would think so, I would
think so. Yeah, she said that she is trying to
thank you sir, that she is trying to introduce food
to her mouth again. So she's but then like not fully,
(20:47):
not fully well, she did try to go cold turkey
at one point on the heels of Justin She no,
I'm being serious.
Speaker 2 (20:53):
She was like, I tried to I tried to like
break it.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
But then she said she was at home one night
and she was having a couple of drinks and she
did a shot of gold Schlager through her nose and
then she was right back into it. She drinks swined
through her nose. But she she said she did a
gold Schlager through her nose and that was it. Tyler's
(21:19):
pulled up a video. Well, we've been sent this is
it from the District Biscuit company. It looks like this
may be the date.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Okay, it's through Instagram, so I don't know if it's censored.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
You did say that.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
He reacts with the.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
Yeah, I got I'll dump it. If not, Josh will
do unless he's eating through his nose.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Okay, you're ready, yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (21:48):
What are you doing? I really like my coffee.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
That is good.
Speaker 6 (22:02):
It's dripping off her face, they said, demure, No, it
looks like she's bobbing for apples in coffee and she's
snorting and the people in.
Speaker 2 (22:13):
The restaurant are laughing.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
They notice, so they answered my question yes first and
