If you enjoy journalism that drifts into mild panic, wild overthinking, and a guaranteed nervous breakdown, Lunatic in the newsroom is for you. It's news like you've never heard before, the only newsroom with a panic button. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and gasp and horror as the show spirals completely out of control. It's not just news, it's emotionally unstable. Lunatic in the newsroom. Listen today. Listen, it's the virtual. And if you have kids in the car, we say that after 830 is more the adult show right here. So you definitely do not want your kids listening to this part right here. We just don't want to explain it, because it's almost inexplicable for adults to hear. Yeah, we almost can't.

1:00We can't figure this out either. But if you missed it last week, here's a little bit of the Good Morning America segment from last week about people that are attracted to objects. And after we played it, a whole bunch of you guys called, oh, that's tame. You said, oh, no, no, no, no, we can do better than that. But this was the original segment on Good Morning America. We all see beauty in objects, the symmetry, and sleekness of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Our structure is just amazing. It's the stark beauty with angles and curves, this contrast. But what if the beauty we saw in objects were something much deeper, like true love? When other teenagers were dating each other, I was dating a bridge. 36 year old Erika Eiffel is part of a small group of people who call themselves Objectum Sexuals or OS, where their intimate life revolves around objects, not people. We feel an innate connection. With objects, it comes perfectly normal to us, to connect on various levels, emotional, spiritual,

2:01and also physical for some. She says she didn't choose this life. She was born this way. And while she has normal friendships with humans, in her eyes, love lies in objects. My intimacy involves a lot with smell and with touch, even with hearing and just my sight. We reached out to medical experts. I think it's all serious. But yeah, she was attracted to airplanes and bridges, and there's an emotional and a physical connection. She's like doing bridges. Now, was this the one with the Eiffel Tower? That's the Eiffel Tower. She married, or she had the commitment ceremony with the Eiffel Tower. And did the Eiffel Tower, right, on somewhere? Somehow. So you guys tip this off that there's way more freakier stuff than that. And of course, producer Sean knew exactly where to find it. You know, Sean sent emails when she was editing this. I think did you get copied on him, too, Bert? We got it. She was freaked out. And you know, if you're freaking out, Sean, you're doing a good job of freaking it out.

3:01Because producer Sean is quirky, man. I mean, it's just quirky, quirky, quirky. So when something like, yeah, makes her go, wow, that's weird. You really struggled. No, no. You really struggled. So here she found this about a guy that is in love with his car in all ways. For over 40 years, he had kept his lifestyle a secret. But he now felt that the time was right to explain it to the world. So he headed to Yelm, a small town in the Northwestern state of Washington, to meet our first megafa, his name, Edward Smith. This is Vanilla. She's a 74 standard beetle. And I named her Vanilla because it's kind of a sexy, sensual name. Edward has never had an intimate relationship with another human. No, it's not. No, it's not. I'm sure a body is a shot in sense of beauty. Everything about her is very sensuous to me. And I enjoy holding her. I enjoy being part of her in this little area here.

4:04She's got a certain curve to it. Really is perfect. I'll be doing this, and it's almost impossible to resist your hands. He starts kissing right now. What's happening right now? I can see it all the way, I must admit. She's my lover. What? I'll be seeing you all of that. What do you mean kissing her? I think he's licking her. I think he's licking the hood of the car. There was an innocent affection right there from the beginning. And for the time I turned 13, the famous Orgette stingray of 63 came out in that car. Oh my God, it was pure sex. I don't know why I didn't. Maybe a couple of years later that I got so excited looking at him that I would actually incorporate that visual and that fantasy into mine. I'm that s**t. Show. I'm doing it now, really. I'm not doing it now. Vanilla beetle of 74, your creamy body,

5:06eye-adore, flesh and metal, overwhelmed, man and car they come one. What? This is Myra Eskiku. When you're parked in my yard, where my sun sets, freed from the light of day and dark, I leave my loving seed. Sell me. Wait, what? Yeah, right. The car is begging. The car is begging. Put me on a Christmas day, please. I'm out of voice. Somebody stop it, please. He has a tire, somebody scratch me. Only gas should go in my gas tank, not what he's put in there. No, he's not. Damn. But if you believe in reincarnation, this guy came back as that car, that's hell. What did you do in a previous life? These people are obviously very mentally ill, right? I don't know. They've been abused. You think? Yeah, I don't know about abuse, because remember, the last one we played, they said it's not

6:06an abusive situation. I'm curious though, if most people are abused, they have not been with anything else or anybody else. This is, I think, the same dude fallen in love with a helicopter, I think. Edward told us that he wasn't only attracted to cars. He found planes and even helicopters sexually alluring. One of his most intriguing claims was that he had made love to Airwolf, star of the 1980s TV series. I know, man. I'm the child of this. 1986. At the time, it was like a dream. I was pretty much left alone in my own accord. And I just set my tripod up and took a picture of me kissing Airwolf because I figured, oh, why not? That's what I'm there is to pay tribute to her and love honor. And I just couldn't hold back. And I got away with it. It's over with. It's done. I did it. And I'd be careful about doing that again. I got a bit of confidence that it's left in me. I really carried away. I love them. So did Airwolf have any orifices that you could stimulate yourself?

7:10No, no. It's just the form and curve. She's got a sleek, sensuous tail that almost looks like a dolphin. Of course, in 1991, is a good shot. She, this is a one-fresh landed killing all aboard. It sounds like it. But she's in the midst of a rescue. She destroyed. But I was so good and glad to meet her. Yeah. It's like he's widowed. I am so glad he wasn't playing with that pilot on Sunday. Because he would not have safely landed that. It's so freaky. You don't even know how to respond to it, right? Wow. I mean, whoa, god. I just don't understand the mindset of it. I don't get it. This is a woman that married the Berlin Wall. And again, she says, this is my husband. His name's the Berlin Wall. And he was born in 1961. You've heard of him. He's quite a celebrity. He lives in Berlin. She says that she used to live in a pharmacy or work

8:12at a pharmacy. Our husband's job was to divide East and West Berlin. He's retired now, she says. We've been in love for many years, she writes. I was attracted to him ever since he was born. Yes, he's some years younger than me. But neither of us feels that this age difference matters. True love can easily transcend a few years. It was very much a long-distance romance. As neither of us likes to travel. She's talking about a wall. The wall can't go anywhere anyway. It's not moving. It makes it easy to pack. For much of the time, I had to make do with photos of him. And of course, seeing him in newspapers and on television, but the distance between us only served to intensify our feelings for each other. It's local. On our wedding, we eventually were married on June 17, 1979. No, you weren't. In Berlin? On that day, I took my husband's name. That is Berlin Wall in German, which is my husband's first language. Now we have been together for many years.

9:13First language. Yeah, I wonder what he took as the second language. We have been together now for many years, spiritually, if not physically. Like every married couple, we have our ups and downs. We've even made it through the terrible disaster of November 1989, when my husband was subjected to frenzied attack by a mob. So he's talking about the dismantling of the borough. Yeah, the big celebration when people took hammers to her husband's. And then she writes, but we are still as much in love as the day we first met. We may not have a conventional marriage. Obviously. But neither of us cares much for conventions. ours is a story of two beings in love, our souls in twine for all eternity. Whoa. I know. I'm at it. I'm speechless. I don't eat. Yeah, it's so freaky. You don't even know how to respond. Vanilla beetle of 74, your creamy body
