A classic episode of Scared All, the time's fan favorite bonus show, New Fear Unlocked is out of the vault and on the main feed. This episode originally aired on Patreon September fourth, twenty twenty five, but is being played by. You right now. Disclaimer. This episode includes the usual amount of adult language and graphic discussions you've come to expect around here, but in the event it becomes an unusual amount, expect another call from me. Hey, guys, welcome to the first video episode of New Fear Unlocked. True. Now, there's something you need to know, some housekeeping. There's some housekeeping for this episode, which is that we learned a lot over the past couple weeks of making this show, and so we have returned to the top of episode one to give you a look at what this show will look like in the future. Yeah, we've got ed do you want to point them out to us? We got camera one, Camera one, we got camera two, Camera two, we got camera three, we got camera three. And this isn't the end all be all. We might even build beyond this is. We're going to continue to improve and get better. Now. The downside is the rest of this episode is on camera one, a different. Camera camera one. Some of these cameras are real bad. They're all borrowed. That's how we make the show. And the worst one was was our initial camera one. But the conversation and the topic is so good that we didn't want to try to re record it because we didn't think that we would quite get capture what we got the first time around. So you will notice over the next couple episodes the number of cameras growing, the quality of cameras growing, wasteline growing. So stick with us, bear with it. It's the same show you know and love. We're just trying to bring you more content. So sit back, relax, and enjoy New Fear Unlocked video episode. We don't know the episode number it's but it's video episode one. But we're not gonna confused people. We already given them eighteen different. Camera first video episode. I'm about to see us in fucking standard death. It's full of stars. You can't take a week of when the people count ten. So it's something fell the truck with something haight decent that only a run, which. Is a void decent, so we'll do it. Rhyme. Time for a bonus episode and the name new kind of show. Did you read the host? You know? And it's start right now and it's not trying now. Hey, everybody, welcome to New Fear Unlocked Video Edition, which you can experience our New Fear Unlocked of You can watch our hairlines receding in real time. I've brought you can watch the sweat definitely get bigger on my shirt. Someone will time lapse it. I brought some I brought a couple of hats. People are going to see why we've been resisting video. Especially since I'm super hungover and neither of us slept, you because of the kid, and me because of other activities. I can't say kids, but I'm saying others just out in the world being a silly idiot, and Ed being a silly goose being a goose. And I think the biggest problem is I'm so when we usually record, I usually am just looking at you across. But now we've invited the fans into the conversation. It's as if they're sitting in the room with us, and I feel like I need to talk to them as well. So this until we get used to where we're looking. Because we don't have a director for this, and you think, as a person who's directed a film, I might have an idea of how this this would work, but I don't because. Using each other's mics, like I'm using the mic you normally use, use the mic everything. I might even take this thing off the bottom in the way. I don't know if it's gonna make a bunch of clicking. All this is staying in the episode. Because yeah, take it out, take it off, take it off. I also never wear shorts in real life. We've both got shorts. We've got shorts and fucking dirty T shirts. I've pretty much only been wearing shorts since Felix came because it's hot and like I'm getting spit up on and everything. Ure I don't I don't need to be. I also only own like one pair of slacks, well. I don't have. I don't wear jeans ever, as everybody knows. I know, I wear jeans all the time. I'm gonna just sorry everyone of all fucking clanging and banging from this mic stand thing I'm trying to take off. Yeah, yeah, there you go. This is not the way it works. But I'm just doing it. Oh fuck, it fell right on my dick. Okay, so that might be a good name for the episode. People will click it. Oh yeah, but eds dick. But listen, this is very exciting. We've been talking about doing video content for a long time. It is. We are told the wave of the future. So that's why we decided to get the world's oldest go bro to enter the to ride the wave of the future. Yeah. Man, we got to start somewhere. We'll upgrade the equipment as we go. We'll upgrade our skills. It's gonna be like a little role playing RPG the styles podcasting. There's a lamp from my living room at a forty five degree angle clamped to this thing next to us. Yeah, halfway through this, you're gonna see an on set accident. Thing falls on my head. Everything is going to fall on our heads. But until that happens, we are here to podcast. We are here to entertain you guys and talk about some of the kind of crazier shit that we talk about on New Fear Unlocked, as opposed to the heavily researched episodes. Yeah, the regular episodes, you guys come to the bonus episodes for even weirder stuff. And today you're going to eat well, my friends, because we are talking about the story of Tarrar, the insatiable glutton who ate everything from human flesh to live eels. Is it a person like a human Tarreer or Tarrar is a person? That's a name? The article I found is written by Mark Oliver. I'd never heard of this guy before Tarrar. I've never heard of Mark Oliver either, but I'm sure, I'm sure he's a wonderful guy. Tarrar seems like a wonderful guy who had a very troubled life. He came up in some research I was doing for a different episode on Circus, and I don't think he's gonna fit in that episode. So I thought, where better place? What better place to bring Terer to than New fear in Lock. So this article begins in eighteenth century French showman Terrea could eat enough to feed fifteen people and swallow cat's whole, but. His are two totally different things. Well, I think the swallowing cat's hole was part of feeding fifteen people. I mean, I don't know how many people a single cat would feed. Yeah, but but I just feel like maybe that when number one sentence, then it's been derailed. But I'm saying like, maybe they're saying he can eat, like his stomach can handle as much as feeding fifteen families, but he can fifteen, sorry, fifteen people, But maybe he can unhinge his jaw to fit a whole cat. Yeah. I mean this, this article gets crazy. It's gonna get derailed a couple times. This is one of the least bizarre facts in this entire article. Okay, so he can eat enough to feed fifteen people and swallow cat's hole, but his stomach was never satisfied. Okay, the article begins. They found seems like it might be a brain thing. I think it's a brain I think it's I think people today have this same problem. They're just on TV instead of being freaks who are shun sure. They found her in a gutter shoveling fistfuls of garbage in his mouth. Right on the first video, I just spilled water all over my fucking lap. Well, this is a nightmare. It's funny. It should never be on videos. They saw you spill it, so it's not like anyone's gonna think you peede. I guess I can now though, because I have a cover. But the only problem is going to be if you try to cut out the moment of you spilling the water, then there's just gonna be a spot that appears on your lap. And then people are you think. People are gonna watch things this that that eagle eyed? Yeah, I can think of at least three or four fans. That's true. I did hide We're gonna break it down. I did hide Chris's Social Security number among the surroundings. So best luck everyone. It's it's an arg and we should get the arg maybe maybe mentioned. Uh, this is not a set. This is just my living room. It would be crazy. It would be crazy if we built a set. It had nothing to do with Scared all the time. It was all just eds, interest. Books and a poster of the Thunderbirds. I love the. Thunderbirds or just thunderbirds, isn't it. Yeah? I know this is this is Aed's living room. And well you can't see I posted on our Instagram, but you can see behind the scenes of the chemical tent that we built to keep the audio sounding. I mean, this is ado the chemical tent. When we normally use it. I have no idea what this audio is gonna sound like. If this even helps, it can't make it worse. But like, it's a real smooth operation when we do it in the office, but it's a lot less comfortable than this. So yeah, well anyway, Terrera, Terrera, Terrera, rub your eye. We're on camera, now, rub your eye. I have a crazy, weird life. So it's I'm sorry. They found Terrera in a gutter shoving fistfuls of garbage into his mouth. Stop it. It was the seventeen nineties, and Terrera, born circa seventeen seventy two and known only as Terrere okay, was a soldier in the French Revolutionary Army who was infamous for his almost inhuman appetite. I would qualify this as definitively inhuman. I think we should kick him out. You know, the army, you've got like rations, we're out here, can be using up all art. Okay, well, moving on. The army had already quadrupled his rations. Oh my god, this guy got four times more food than the rest of the fucking French army, which must have made. Everyone must Yeah, I would have been like, hey, probab we just fire this guy, or have him go eat the enemy's ammunition. Or yeah, or somebody would engage him in a friendly fire accident that that would put the food back to use for four more people. That's so crazy guy. But even after downing enough food to feed four men, he would still scavenge through the garbage piles, guzzling down every discarded shred of waste they'd thrown away. Wow. And the strangest part of all of this, do you want to guess how much Terrear weighed? One hundred and ninety. One hundred pounds. He always looked like he was starving. Oh, so he's got like it's a brain, it's a mental and physical like he's e been he got the thinner curse. He did basically at a traveling old magical woman. I am more than two Terrere's and I am literally like not eating a kitcap bar because I'm trying to fit into a suit. And it's like and I'm eating fucking salads. I'm eating like shit that even Terrera would be like, no, thank you, it's so it's not enough. And Srea was digging through eighteenth century garbage. But maybe he had an aversion to salads, like, okay, so I've been eating salads and I'm still like, I haven't lost any weight, So I wish I was not with all these mental problems. But he looked as though he was starving. He barely weighed a hundred pounds. He seemed constantly tired and distracted, which any that's us today, that's us today. But also any addict at this level, where all you're doing is constantly thinking of consuming, you're gonna look tired and distracted. He was showing every possible sign of under nourishment, except that he was eating enough to feed a small barrack. Once again, I mean, how hard up for men was the French army at this point in time. I don't know my history, I. Feel, and I don't know if other countries. I mean, they do famously have the French Foreign Legion, which is like, hey, anyone who can come fight for the French and we'll give you something that's true. So it seems like they've been hard up for a while. Yeah, and I guess they also at this time, maybe they thought of this guy's potentially some sort of a sign, an omen like a creature. I don't know, I mean, I don't know what you'd think this guy was, Yeah, constantly eating and shrinking. There must have been a few of his comrades who just wanted to get rid of him. Tara, after all, not only burned through the Army's rations, but also stunk so horribly that supposedly a visible vapor rose out of his body, like real life cartoon stink lines. I think maybe that's the invention of stink lines with someone talking about Tarrar. I would love to know if there's any stink doctors listening to the show who could tell us if this is an actual phenomen that could be. The weight leaving his body, you know what I mean, like it's boiling off of them. I mean, honestly, you'd be ingesting so many calories that you might be putting off. Your body's burning so much energy, like maybe you do at this point put off like a heat. Yeah. I think Shimmer, he's like an Unbreakable character, Like. He's he's in the Unbreakable Universe. Yeah, he's definitely in the Unbreakable Universe. He'd make a great villain. He really would like a great comic book film. And a guy is insatiable but shrinking he's tortured. Yeah, it'd only be good if he can like if you like, if you can eat souls or something. You know, he'd have to give him like a villain asque thing to do, and not just like, oh, this guy ate all the food before the heroes could. Yeah, that's true. He'd be more of just a nuisance. Yeah. For two military surgeons, doctor Corville and Baron Percy, Terrer was too fascinating to ignore. Who was this strange man? They wanted to know who could have a wheelbarrow of food poured down his throat and still stay hungry? Uh? There is then in this article a wood cut. There there's no So there's no images of Terrera or Terra. Again, I could not find exactly how this his name is pronounced. I'm sure maybe if you know French, there's a normal way to do it. Yeah. Yeah, there's no images of him. So the images in this article, the first one is a painting of a giant, fat guy and a little mischievous. This is nice because we're next to each other. I can actually see them. Feeding him stuff. Which I guess I'll have to fucking but that's I can't be ter he's a big fatty No. Well, Terrera almost seems like he'd be the little mischievous. Little dogs too. But anyway, I guess I'll have to put this image that you can pop it up. It'll be here, here or here. And then we've got a sixteen thirty woodcut showing polyphasia, which is Terrera's condition. This one's meant to depict a guy named Nicholas, a bird, the great eater of Kent. I believe that's a bird. Yeah, I don't know what size. These two animals are so sad next to him, their barnyard friends. Terrera's strange appetite had been with him his whole life. It was completely insatiable, so much so that when he was a teenager, his parents, unable to afford the massive piles of food it took the feet him, kicked him out of their house. Yeah, wish the army had done that. I know. Parents said get out, and the army said, we'll take him. Yeah, well, you can feed him as much as four men, no problem. He then made his own way as a traveling showman. Which what else can you do? What else can you do? He fell in with a band of prostitutes and thieves who would tour France, putting on acts while they picked the audience's pockets. That's sick. So Herrera was one of their star attractions, the incredible man who could eat anything. Yeah. I feel like if someone was like, look at me, I'm gonna eat a fucking live bird, like you would look enough to be pickpocketed. Yeah, you wouldn't be able to look away from a guy like eating a beak. But the number one thing that they'd want to find in your pockets would be more food for this guy. Oh, they just have to get more money. Don't care about the money. His massive deformed jaw could swing open so wide, allegedly that he could pour a whole basket full of apples down his mouth and hold a dozen of them in his cheeks like chipmunks. I which that feels. Like a folk There's no which way, But then that makes me questions elastic skin. Yeah, twelve apples in his cheeks is I mean maybe they're crab apples. I guess apples could have been tinier back then, But I feel like that's that is an unbelievable statistics. So neither of the woodcut or painting was him. There's no images of him. Yeah, because no one really figured out how to draw that deformed jaw. I I guess not a habsburg jaw times times ten. What's his name, fucking with the cherubism. Zadar, Yeah, yeah, Robert Zadar. Yeah, well Tarrar, Robert. Robert would swallow corks, stones, and live animals whole, all to the joy and disgust of the crowds. This guy's a folk hero, there's no way. According to one who saw his act quote, he sees a live cat with his teeth inventrated or disemboweled, It sucked its blood and ate it, leaving the bear skeleton only he also ate dogs in the same man. He's like, everything about this guy is cartoonish, like he's putting a fish in his mouth. On one occasion, it was said that he swallowed a living eel without chewing it, which is maybe the most believable thing. Yeah, because an eel would just like yeah I did. Once it gets in there, it's gonna go to town. It's gonna that's gonna be a real problem. I don't know. You can't sleep with a live eel kicking around in there. I don't know eels have teeth. I said, I don't know three times. I don't know. I should have done research on eels, because I'm pretty sure this would this would really fuck your stomach. Yeah, Terrero's reputation preceded him everywhere he went, even in the animal kingdom. The birds are talking, they're chirping. Baron Percy, the surgeon who took such an interest in his case, mused in his notes the dogs and cats fled in terror at his aspect, as if they had anticipated the kind of fate he was preparing for them. WHOA, I mean, they're smart enough, dogs and cats. We saw the photo of the or the would cut of the other guys Eater of Kent eating a bird, and all the other animals looking sad. So well, that's the bullshit where it's like, until they come for you, you let a lot of atrocities happen. So those dogs and cats were like, he's just sticking to birds. Well, this is fine until it's not. Until it's not, and this is that's a lesson we keep learning. Unfortunately in history, terrere baffled the surgeons. At the age of seventeen, he weighed just one hundred pounds and although he ate live animals. In his defense was seventeen hundreds. Yeah, fucking germs baffled surgeons. They haven't many many things baffled surgeons at this age. Yeah, at this period of time, the only thing that didn't baffle surgeons was they knew that if they cut open a person, blood came out. And they would die. They knew that if they did their job, there'd be one hundred percent death rate. Yeah. Well, we've talked about if you haven't listened to waiting aftering surgery, holy shit. While we might do another surgery bait because there's so much gross surgery history. Yeah, and the end of that episode's a hard listen, but the history suff of fun is listen. Yeah, And and I think this is here, Like, for instance, something that I think is very relevant here when talking about baffled surgeons is that when surgeons were so not the word not unsure is the wrong word. There was such a level of kind of passed down knowledge in surgery that when ether was invented, surgeons didn't want to use it to knock their patients out because they felt that an important part of. The surgery and hearing them scream and and like they would know, don't do that again. Yeah, they're like in in communications sort of with. That they're not dead. Yeah, and they were like, if they're knocked out, we don't know if if there's if they it's crazy. Yeah, so that's a bunch of shit. I would never have told anybody. And they wrote that down. Yeah, so surgeons they knew, they knew some things, mostly horrible things. But anyway, Terrere baffled them completely. Uh. Although he ate live animals and trash, he seemed to be sane. Okay, he was seemingly just a young man with an inexplicably insatiable appetite. His body, as you might imagine, wasn't a pretty sight. Terrere's skin had to stretch to incredible degrees to fit all the food he shoved down his gullet. When he ate, he would blow up like a balloon, especially in his stomach. Reach it and I would imagine only this, Yeah, like weird if you ate a whole cat and then your ass bulged out. I mean, over time, my ass has been bulged out for me in food less than a cat. I'm talking more like the immediate no, yes, yeah, don't you don't see like where the food's sliding on your arm or whatever. Shortly after, Terrer had the incredible habit of stepping into a bathroom and releasing nearly everything, leaving behind a mess that the surgeon's described as fetid beyond all conception. You think he was shitty, You think he puked it out, because I think you'd want to just maybe puke some of that out. I I don't know. It sounds like it kind of just came out wherever it wanted to come out. Also, there's no maybe I guess there were traditional bathrooms for I would just be like, where is his post show ditch We've dug to like let him go expel in that ditch. When his stomach was empty. His skin would sag down so deeply that you could tie the hanging folds of skin around his waist like a belt. That's what I want that point for this wedding. His cheeks would droop down like an elephant's ears. I don't think you want that. I don't want the cheekspart if that sounds like a centobite. But if I get thin enough that I have to like tie my skin up in a bow, I'll fit in the suit. Well that would yeah, I mean, but then I think in this day and age, you would just go to a non puzzled surgeon to get your skin, your excess skin removed. This guy didn't have that option. Maybe he could have. I mean, it could have been interesting maybe to like dangle it into a little piranha tank and let them chew off the we did. We did fucking fleshying bacteria and put in my but nothing or anything and anything. Unfortunately, the mass consumption of such quantities of food created an awful smell. As the doctor's worded it in his medical records, he often stank to such a degree that he could not be endured within the distance of twenty paces. Yeah, I mean that makes a little sense, rightcause if you eat a lot of fish, or like even take fish oil supplements before they got a little better, and you'd sweat, you'd even sometimes you do smell like fish. You smell like it's coming out of your pores a little bit. So I imagine trash. Yeah, so if he's in a trash diet, then he's gonna have a little bit of trash porn out of those. You know, this guy ate rats just every day disgusting. I don't know, I think he seems pretty weak. I don't know, if he's gonna eat a lot of scurrying animals, he might just go with like a what's laying around? Well? But I mean, if he's doing this, he is like a as a as a job. What are people? People aren't giving him the good stuff to eat. They're not giving him not a wheel of cheese. Yeah, No, they're giving him the most disgusting. Whatever they've broomed out of their like tavern. Yeah, and he seems happy to accept it. I meant, honestly, this guy sounds like somebody who would have a very successful online presence. Yeah he would. This guy would be on TikTok just making money. And there'd be so many people in the comments being like, I don't think he even eats that he's a liar. Yeah, there'd be a lot of like thinks he's a scam. Yeah, until they like go to one of his live shows and you're like always thinks like garbage. Yeah. We can see the stink lines coming off of yeah filter in a way that just does not translate. Filter for this video that lines coming off of us. Uh, it was always on him, that horrible sench that steeped off his body. His body was hot to the touch, so I was right, that's what the stinkwaves. Probably we got there together. His body was hot to the touch so much the man dripped a constant sweat that's stunk like sewer wide. That's what I'm saying. This is this is the like unbreakable. Universe, and it would rise off of him in a vapor so future that you could see it drifting around him, a visible cloud of stink. Again, this guy sounds like this is a Captain Plannet villain. Yeah, he's not real. Yeah, you keep talking. I have to just respond to this person helping us with the camera issue. Okay, great, Well, I'm this is the first time live that I've had to vamp, but I'm glad that. Oh it's fine. I'm gonna just tell him I'm not going to use voice to text. Everybody, don't worry. All right, We've got it working, but I need the password for something else. We're in the middle of a show right now. If you listen to this episode or watch it, you're the person i'm texting. Perfect. Okay, Hey, are. You enjoying this old episode of New Fear Unlocked. If so, don't forget that you can stay up to date with brand new, commercial free episodes of it every week the main shows off. Now here's one of those ad breaks you could be avoiding. So by the time the doctors found this guy, Terrer had given up his life as a sideshow performer because he had joined the army to fight for France's liberty. I mean, he's that's kind of cool, it is. I mean, this guy, this guy, this guy not only is a real life comic book villain, but he living the life of like a storied soldier circus performer. Process he lived a million million lives. Yeah, and like he's he feels just as compelled to defend the nation he loves as he does to eat garbage. Yeah. Yeah, Well but here's the problem. As we discussed earlier, France didn't want him. I think it did get to be too much, the feeding him so much, and. Oh yeah, no, they're reserves have all but gone. So he was pulled off the front lines and sent into the surgeon's room, where Baron Percy and doctor Corville ran test after test on him, trying to understand this medical. Okay, now I'm starting to think he started this as a superhero and after all these tests, is getting turn into a supervillain. Possibly One man, though, believed that Terrer could help his country, General Alexandre Dave barnhaus I, France was now at war with Prussia, which, dude, is not a place anymore. No, I think it was part of, like I know, they did a lot to do with World War One. He was an empire. He was an empire. France was at war with them, and the General Alexandra deve Barnais was convinced that Terrera's strange condition made him a perfect courier. General deve Barnai ran an experiment, be. A terrible courier. Everyone won't be able to follow him back all the draft bread crumbs, the. Stink lines, the giant excrement piles. Let's have this. Let's have this guy represent us, be the first face they see. It sounds like using Godzilla as a courier. You just feel like, where'd he go? Just follow the destruction? No, forget this, this is why they thought he'd be good. The General put a document inside of a wooden box, had Terrer eat it. And then waited for it to pass through his body and then. He had to have metal. I'm not trying to give him worse ulcers, but I feel like would It's like it's like Bijota gradeable in some way. I feel like I wouldn't want to enter the eel. I mean not to not to mention the splinters. Yeah, yeah, maybe it's I don't know what the lube technology at the time was, but eels. Yeah, put the box in the eel, put the eel in terre and have it just scoot out the back. Ye, drive out the back of this guy. He then the general had a poor soldier cleaned through Terrera's mess and fish out the box to see if the document could still be read. What is I would have a prisoner of war do that, Like, I wouldn't have someone on my team fished out. I know that that's gonna be the guy who then comes back and. You, Yeah, that's what started the World War War. Yeah. It worked though, and Terrere was given his first mission disguise as a Prussian peasant. He was just sneak past enemy lines and deliver a top secret message to a captured French colonel. How are you sneaking by anyone. You reak, and you have stink lines. And you have dangly ribben skins. This man's clothser buttoned with his own ass cheeks. Yeah, don't. Yeah. The message was hidden inside of a box and then safely enclosed inside of Terrer's stomach. Hey, you didn't want to just tell him the message to tell the guy? Why did you have to write it down at all? Yeah, get a, get a. It does seem this is a long way around the block when you could just get a guy who doesn't look interesting at all completely, Uh, what's the word I'm looking for? Like he blends in? Yeah, yeah, nondescript, nondescript guy to just say something to a guy. Yeah, although I guess I guess they could have sent carrier pigeons, but he ate them all. It's the problem. That's what they tried first to see if you grow wings. I'm like, the lack of doubt knowing how the anatomy works is almost as bad as us. Terrera didn't get far. Perhaps, perhaps they should have expected that the man was stacking skin in a futrid stench that could be smelled from miles away but attract attention. We were right, and as this supposed Prussian peasant couldn't speak German, it didn't take long for the Prussians to figure out that it's a frenchy. This is making a lot more sense. I knew they were involved World War One, his Archduke Ferdinand and everything that yeah, pressure right. So he was stripped, searched, whipped, and tortured for the better part of a day before he gave up the plot. In time, Terrer broke and told the Prussians about the secret message hiding in his stomach. They changed him to a latrine and waited for hours. Terrer had to sit there with his guilt and his grief, struggling with the knowledge that he'd let down his countrymen while he waited for his bowels to move. When they finally did, and it seems like this is the longest it ever. Took nuclear bomb when his fowls. When his bowels did find move, all the Prussian general found inside the box was a note that simply asked the recipient to let them know if Terrer had delivered it successfully. General deve Berney's it turned out, still didn't trust Terrera enough to send him off with any real information. The whole thing had just been another test. Guy has to be a villain at this point, right, he's getting fucked over here. The Prussian general was so furious that he ordered Terrere be hung. Once he calmed down, though, he felt a little pity for the flabby man openly sobbing on his gallows, had a change of heart and let Terreer go back to French lines, warning him with a quick thrashing to never try a stunt like this. Two things I would have preferred, I know. Maybe one of them. And if you don't say it, I'll tell. You in terms of how I wanted this to go. Yeah, the thing number one, Yeah, he might be crying at the idea that they're gonna not hang him because he's like, finally someone will end this curse. And then the other thing was if they did try and hang him and then he just burned through the rope with his hot ass neck. I okay, I was right there with you. I was imagining they try to hang him and his neck is stretchy too, he finds out, I mean, his head just like comes out from the. Oh my god, dude, just a fucking pop Eye character. Yeah, so then things get real bad. Oh no for Terrera. Safely back in France, Terrere begged the army to never make him deliver another secret message. He didn't want to be this way anymore, he told them, and he pleaded with Baron Percy to make him like everyone else. Percy did his best, and by did his best, ruin this man's body and brain. Yeah, make villains man. He fed to rare wine, vinegar, tobacco, pills, laudanum, and every medicine he could imagine in hopes of quenching his incredible appetite. But Terrera stayed the same no matter what he tried. I kind of feel like he should have went East. He just has a lot more addictions now. Yeah yeah, yeah, they had taken him to everything else. Yeah, but when we did the waking up during surgery episode. It's come up a couple other times too, like the like Chinese like doctors and they had like full books on like if you have this, do this, or here's what not to mix roots with. I feel like in the West there was still like women have five thousand teeth and like and like, so if you had gone like East, maybe some Chinese Empire. Some Chinese doctor would have been like, oh, you just eat this root and it'd be fine. But here he's got this like fucking yeah, weird, horrible, uh like quack surgeon. Yeah, I well, I'd be. Like, you know what we got, we got the solution for you. It's fucking cyanide bill. Here you go eat this. Well. If anything, all this did was make terrair hungrier than ever. No amounts, no food would satisfy him. The insatiable Terrera sought out other meals in the worst possible places. During there one desperate fit of hunger, he was caught drinking the blood that had been removed from the hospital's patients, and even eating some of the bodies in the morgue. This is this is that's too much. When a fourteenth month old baby, When a fourteen month old baby disappeared. Oh yeah, well he's there, you know where to look. Rumors started to spread that Terrera was behind it. Barren Percy got fed up. He chased Terrere out, forcing him to fend for himself from then on, and tried to erase the whole disturbing affair from his mind. Wow they never found the baby. I assume it's probably sitting buried in a poop landfill somewhere in a box in ditch waiting. Someone tried to yeah, he's just everything they wanted him to bring places he had to put in a box. He was like, no, it's almost told me to bring this baby across the Prussian lines. Four years later, Baron Percy received where the Terrera had turned up in a hospital in Versailles. The man who eat the man who could eat anything, was dying. Finally, Percy learned this would be his last chance to see the medical anomaly alive. Bear rant Town, Yep. Baron Percy was with Terrer when he died of tuberculosis in seventeen ninety eight. For all the horrible smells that had drifted out of Terrer while he was alive, nothing compared to the stent that poured out when he died. The doctors with him struggled to breathe through the noxious odors that filled every inch of the room. The description of the autopsy is nothing short of disgusting. Oh great, let's read it. Quote. The entrails were putrefied, confounded together, and immersed in puss. The liver was excessively large void of consistence, so I think just a jelly blob and in a putrecious, putrescent state. The gallbladder was of considerable magnitude. The stomach and a lax state, and having ulcerated patches dispersed about it covered almost the whole of the abdominal region. His stomach, they found, was so massive that it very nearly filled his entire abdomen. His gullet was unusually wide, and his jaw could stretch open so wide that, as reports put it, a cylinder of a foot in circumference could be introduced without touching the palate. A foot, No, that's that's not a foot. That's kid's foot. If you're talking about a foot, like a like a measurement a foot, I would think it would be bigger, maybe a little like that. Yeah, I mean a foot is I mean that's eleven inches, Okay, so it's eight by eight by eleven or eight by ten, so might be ten. So that's gonna be that's gonna be clipped, I don't. I mean, this guy had a whole set of skills that he did not put to use. It seems it is. It is an insane whether it was God or evolution. Yeah, like some this is a Captain crunch. Oops, all berries of a human being, Yeah, like this was a factory mistake. Oops, all hunger. Yeah. Perhaps the surgeons could have learned more about Terrera's strange condition, but the stench became so overpowering that even Baron Percy gave up, which I don't find very surprising because he gave up on this man four years earlier. Time. The doctors stopped the autopsy midway through, unable to bear a single second more of the stench. They'd learn one thing, though, Terrer's condition wasn't in his mind. Every strange thing that he'd done had started with a genuine, constant biological need to eat. The poor man's every experience had been dictated by the strange body he'd been born with, one that cursed him to live a life of eternal hunger. That's the craziest fucking story I've ever heard in my life. Yeah, and I'm surprised I never heard of this guy before. I really wish they had just hung him, Like, seems like his life is miserable. His just bubblegum neck dude. He's several of his organs were just gushers, like. His stomach was a gusher and his intestines were fruit by the foot. Where did you even? What? Prompt? Like? How would you find this? Man? Always said it was part of the other thing you were working on. I was, yeah, I was. I don't want to give away too many, but I was just going through a bunch of kind of like although. We release, we are going to release. I think a calendar this ahead of time, but we're not gonna do it. We went through. I was just going through a bunch of odd diseases and and this guy popped up. Yeah, so wow, Well I'm glad I know about him. I'm glad everybody now knows. I'm glad everybody knows about. Just any Does he have any does he have any kind. Of like plaques, living relatives? What? I don't know. They didn't. I didn't mention any partners he had no. What I'm saying is, uh. This man's genitals didn't function. I can't imagine they. He'd be a little hot to fuck maybe, but it was I don't he knew a lot of ladies. He was hanging out. People do things for money. Yeah, so maybe you know, people take pity on him too, But we don't want to talk about this guy's dick anymore. I'm saying, because you have a plaque anywhere that was like this is the birthplace to see like remembered in history anywhere else side of this website. I don't think so well. I mean he's he's remembered, like there's other articles about this guy. I don't think there's a plaque. I know he's proud monument, No, which is crazy. I mean, I'm proud of him. I guess, well, we're keeping his memory alive. We're keeping his memory alive. I'm I'm proud of his ability to persevere because if this will me no. That's I'd be swallowing whatever the equivalent of fifty advil that day. Yeah, there's so especially when you're in the military, as you said, I mean, you could eat gunpowder and strike a match. There's a lot of ways to go out. If you can, if you can put anything inside your body, your options skyrocket because most people can't do. Those people are like, I don't have the balls to fucking you know, I'm too much of a coward. Yeah, to follow through with lighting the swallowing a dynamite with a long Wick. Yeah, and lighting it. You know that's hanging out of my mouth. Yeah, this guy could have swallowed a dynamite a foot around. Yeah, he really could have taken care of things that is crazy. Yeah, he could have had some of the most interesting ways to kill himself, but no one else can do. Now, there's a movie called, I think called Swallow that I haven't seen that I think deals with a similar It's like a it's sort of a cringe inducing slow birth thriller. Oh, I certainly don't want to see a movie like that that you described, or a movie about this man. I mean, yeah, I I there was a line in here, the Insatiable Terra or whatever, Yeah, and I was like, that's a good title for something, the Insatiable Tourra. It's a fucking awesome title. It's a great title for a for an eighteen hundred style circus poster. Yes, you know you put on the side of a of a wagon. Yeah, that makes some money. Where they kept eating them.
