This week, Erin and Nicole harken back to the beginning of this podcast, to do a deeper dive into one very f****d up MLM. So put on your ass-less leggings, sign your $5,000 check and two-step on into this downline, partner! It's LulaRoe, you BOSS B*TCH.
We love, love, love our listeners, so the math checks out that we'd love our listeners' stories. You are a bevy of wordsmiths, what with your scintillating sex stories, your traumatic school trip tales and your frightening fart-uterus fables. What's a fart-uterus? Guess you'll have to listen to this mother load of a mullet-sode to find out! If you're interested in hearing your story on a future episode of the podcast, email us at dtfupodcast@gmail.com or visit our website (dtfupodcast.com).
Do you relate more to The Beast than the Beauty? Do you wish Sonic the Hedgehog was your wingman? Do you get a little heart tingle every time you see the Charmin Bears wipin' those cute little bear buns? If you answered yes to any of those questions, you're probably a Furry! Join Erin and Nicole as they learn what defines a furry, some of the myths around furry-dom (it's not all sexual), and...well they somehow get to a point where they rate cartoon animals on hotness. It was mostly an accident....
Our ladies wanted to do an episode on a bad mom because it felt timely with Mother's Day last weekend. Unfortunately, they committed too early and found out this Mama maybe wasn't bad at all? But that's ok, because we still got a fun story and a new lullaby for BB Jack! Join Erin and Nicole as they discuss the life and times of maybe (?) criminal Ma Barker, and her sons, a rag tag group of actual criminals, the Barker Boys.
Remember Episode 76, "The Tipping Point," where Erin and Nicole surprised each other with weird animal dicks? They're back at it again this week with bugs! Join Erin and Nicole as they take turns surprising each other with pictures of the weirdest/grossest bugs they can find on the internet with minimal research. Will you puke? No, jeez, calm down. But I guess you might feel a little gaggy, depending on your tolerance for gross bugs.
New York in the 80s and 90s was not the sterile, Starbucks-on-every-block, Disney Main Street it is today. It had grit. Personality. Wear a monocle and a clown wig, and clamp your nipples under a mesh top kind of personality. In fact, being wild and over-the-top was exactly how the Club Kids came to be. Join Erin and Nicole this week for a look at the life and crimes (convicted murderer, y'all) of the Party Monster himself: Michael Alig.
From the 1950s to the 1970s, the U.S. Government ran an experiment in mind control. How, you ask? They slipped a bunch of people LSD, bro! Like the morning after a night out, Erin and Nicole do their best to rehash the details of the 20-year involuntary drug binge that is MK Ultra, and the attempts the government made to cover some of it up.
As meteoric as the King's rise to fame was, his fall from atop the golden throne was, well, literal. Join Erin and Nicole as they recount some of Elvis' career highlights, his marriage to Priscilla, and his spiral into sex, drugs and guns.
Hope you're up for the first of a very special two-parter this week! Erin and Nicole discuss all of the things that went sideways and backwards for Elvis to be regarded as the King. So slick back your hair, swerve your hips and dial in to hear all about the rise of the career of 1950s Post Malone: Elvis Presley.
What if Haley Joel Osment's sixth sense wasn't seeing dead people, but was convincing himself he was being dead people?! This week, Erin and Nicole talk about Cotard Delusion/Syndrome, which is when people are 100% convinced they are dead. It's a wild ride.
You've seen the advertisements; from billboards to pamphlets, postcards to post-its, pins to t-shirts, cake toppers to hand-knitted coasters - the Shen Yun promotional materials are everywhere! If you said you hadn't seen one, I'd be worried. Join Erin and Nicole as they explore the religion of Falun Gong and the borderline cult-tendencies they have when propagating their beliefs through dance!
You know where you find moth balls? The crotchal area of a cryptid, duh! Join Erin and Nicole on a mental road trip to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, where the red-eyed Mothman "lives." Nay, THRIVES.
Happy anniversary, Dudes! Can you believe it's been two years since Erin and Nicole decided to take a stab at this podcasting thing? Cut to today, and they're livin' the dream! Each episode is a little slice of their "favorite" f****d up things. And they've carved out the perfect episode for you this week: it's the 1993 events and trial of Lorena (Bobbitt) Gallo.
In the 1960s, scientists realized dolphins were highly intelligent creatures. Research labs worked hard to develop communication with dolphins, even trying to teach them the English language. But no one put in more work than Margaret Howe Lovatt. She was very hands on. And that's a hint to one of the f****d up things about Margaret's work in the tank. Join Erin and Nicole as they discuss Margaret, her boss Dr. Lilly, his wife Mary and their main subject: Peter the dolphin.
Happy Gallontine's Day, ya b-holes! And no, I don't mean "Galentine's," like the holiday spent celebrating your female friendships. I mean "gallon" as in the amount of pee pee collected in the space diaper of astronaut Lisa Nowak, who in 2007, drove cross-country to assault her ex-boyfriends new lovah. Join Erin and Nicole as they get lost in the Astronaut Love Triangle, just in time for the National Day of Sexy Times!
With the release of two new documentaries (one on Netflix and one on Hulu), the Fyre Festival has once again* found its way to DTFU. Except this time, Erin and Nicole used it as a jumping off point to discuss the sh*t-show of a music festival that started it all: Woodstock. Gas up your VW bus, sunscreen those tiddies and let it all hang out as we time travel back to 1969, man! *Mentioned in Episode 11, "Pyramid Royale," and Episode 77, "A Grift from the Gods."
You wanted the great, you got the great! Catherine the Great(est) was a woman well ahead of her time, especially when it came to taking lovahs. Join Erin and Nicole as they discuss her glow up, debunk some myths around Catherine the Great's love life, and celebrate making it to the 100th episode! *Air horns*
In the countdown to the 100th episode, Erin and Nicole tell the story of David Charles Hahn, the Radioactive Boy Scout. You thought Kevin McCallister was a genius? This kid McGuyvered a nuclear reactor in his mom's garden shed. And here we thought Boy Scouts just made lanyards and pooped in the woods.
This week's episode has everything Erin and Nicole could ever want in an urban legend: bathrooms, hot dudes, fashuns, toilets, bathrooms. But it also has a lot of really weird stuff like elementary school kids, vests and different colored toilet paper. Put down a seat cover and get comfy, this is the tale of Aka Manto. And stay tuned for a few bonus mentions of people who infamously died on the toilet. RIPoo.
Join Erin and Nicole this week as they recap 2018, share a few favorite moments from the podcast and say "I love you" about three thousand times while drinking wine.
Maybe Erin and Nicole are regular ol' Scrooges. Or maybe they don't like the smell of urine/vomit. Either way, Nicole and Erin agree Santa Con is not their thing - not now, not when it originated in the 70s, not ever. Lucky, this episode also features their favorite holiday tradition: it's the 2nd Annual Reading of the Sinterklaas poems! Nothing like roasting a friend with a rhyme!
Rumor has it, there was a water park in the average state of New Jersey that let you swing like Tarzan into a pool of water, shoot tennis balls at people's faces and do a full vertical loop on a waterslide. Erin and Nicole are here to tell you that ain't no myth: that's Action Park Babaaaay! Join the ladies as they recount the history of this water park, why it got shut down in the 90s (spoiler alert: LAW SUITS) and why it came back.
What happens when you try to spread your gospel to an island of people who haven't been bothered by outsiders for 60,000ish years? An arrow to the back (literally, this isn't a bad joke punchline). This week, Erin and Nicole discuss the recent death of an American missionary on North Sentinel Island, located in the Bay of Bengal. But that's just a segue into several instances of the island slamming the door in the face of unwanted visitors. And THAT is just a segue into the rudest visitor they'v...
This week, Erin's husband DJ guest hosts on a very special episode of the pod! You thought Nicole talked a lot about poop? She does...but so does DJ! And speaking of guests, a reminder: make sure you read all of the reviews of that Airbnb you booked in your hometown this holiday season. And so you know we're serious, we present some of the worst Airbnb stories of all time. (This episode's rated 5 out of 5 pubes.)
We've all been there. You hit just the right ratio of G&Ts to several of your favorite songs played in a row and BAM! You're dancing so hard you're in danger of slipping in a pool of your own sweat. This week, Erin and Nicole discuss the biggest, most dangerous dance party to ever exist. People danced for so long and so hard, they died. Sad, but what a way to go...
Imagine, if you will, the Gathering of the Juggalos. Add a few more white people dreadlocks, subtract everyone's shoes, multiply by the largest off-beat drum circle you can think of and you have The Rainbow Gathering. It's half cult, half festival and 100% nothing Erin and Nicole ever want to be a part of.
This is a pretty standard episode, with the exception of it having a True Crime-y vibe, just in time for Halloween! Join Erin and Nicole as they discuss the details around The Borden Murders, and why everyone in that household was just about ready to murder someone.
This week, Erin and Nicole read some of your worst (and funniest) surgery-related horror stories. So I guess it's kind of on-brand for Halloween? But also, it's on-brand for the surgery Nicole is recovering from. (A Note from the Editor: Honestly, these were such a treat and very comforting in a weird way and thank you to everyone who sent one in! -Nicole)
Roughly translated from French, this week's title means "Egg and Beef." Coincidentally, both of those things are lewks Lady Gaga has donned on the red carpet. Which leads us to todays episode topic: the conspiracy theory around the death of a rising pop star and Lady Ga-Ga's own rise to fame.
Barely any business upfront and a whole lot of party (aka rosé) in the back? Must be a mulletsode! Erin and Nicole skipped the research this week to bring you some amazing listener stories while they sipped wine IN PERSON. You do not want to miss this Boss Babe Predator having, Birdshit Necklace wearing, Bloated Elvis seeing, Sisterhood of the Traveling Sex Toy sharing episode!
