Dude, That's F****d Up

Hopefully you're sippin' a blended beverage on the beach/next to a pool/with your feet in the sink, because it's summer and the heat is on! Join Erin and Nicole as they discuss the evolution of women's swimwear. TLDL (too long, didn't listen)? Just know women had to basically wear a wooden box at one point.

There's an age-old, summer tradition in the Netherlands where young, pre-teen children are dumped off in the forest and have to find their way back to civilization. Except, maybe there isn't? I mean, there is, but it sounds like camping? Join Erin and Nicole this week as they discuss the New York Times profile on the Dutch "tradition" of Dropping.

This episode is a train wreck from start to finish. Erin and Nicole leave the station via the Cats Trailer, picking up speed as they make a slight left into The Lion King. There's a quick detour to make a pit stop at the Patreon and finally, it's full speed ahead on the nightmare of this week's topic: Dr. James Burt AKA the "Love Surgeon" aka the UNCERTIFIED vaginal surgeon. You know what? Let's j...

Guess who's back? Back again? Here's a hint: he's got less taint than any royal you've ever met. It's Louis XIV! But he's just keeping up appearances, because we have a real hero on our hands who deserves all of our attention and more. Join Erin and Nicole as they talk about the most badass lady you've never heard of: Julie d'Aubigny, aka Mademoiselle Maupin. If she were alive today, she'd be be t...

Erin's got a cold. Nicole's got two retainers. But nothing's going to stop these two from ripping the stuffing out of the plush darlings of the 90's: Beanie Babies. Join our Host Dudes for a look at the rise (and fall) of one of the biggest, hardest to understand crazes of the last century. (As mentioned in the episode, share this link with a friend to introduce them to the pod! https://dtfupodcas...

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 ep...

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...we...

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...

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, depen...

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...

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,...

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 Natio...

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 Episod...

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 to...

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.
