That's So Fcked Up

In its fifth season, TSFU Presents centered around the world's most terrifying dolls. CULTOBER seemed like a really appropriate time to re-release these little devils out into the world, and for y'all to re-familiarize yourself with our behind the scenes team! In the cold, dark January of this year, Ash was joined by audio editor Gaytrice Perdue and audio editor, researcher and now co-host Ryan Pr...

"The New F Word" is a sort of hybrid between "TSFU Presents" and "Binge or Bust?", where Ash and co-host Fallon Morey watch and discuss the Amazon Prime docuseries, " Shiny Happy People ", about the Duggar family, their TLC show "16, 17, etc. Kids and Counting", the charismatic leader that they follow, Bill Gothard (a Fundamentalist Christian, aka "Fundie", minster), Christian Fundamentalism and s...

It's CULTOBER day 5 and we're releasing an especially terrifying episode from the Patreon Vault . This was a Patreon exclusive segment that Cam Dexter used to host called Dexter's Conjectures! This is a topic that more people need to be made aware of, and an especially important episode for anyone with young children who they care about in their lives! Back in December of 2021, Cam took us into th...

In 2023, it's CULTOBER day 4, but on October 3, 2022, it was the first episode of the second season of That's So Fucked Up Presents , "New York Noir". Ash was honored to be joined by exoneree, journalist, public speaker, author and host of the podcast Labyrinths , Amanda Knox, as she told her the story of the Sarah Lawrence College Cult. When Talia Ray's recently released ex-convict father, Larry,...

It's CULTOBER and TSFU Presents the new season, "The New F Word"! "The New F Word" is a sort of hybrid between "TSFU Presents" and "Binge or Bust?", where Ash and co-host Fallon Morey watch and discuss the Amazon Prime docuseries, " Shiny Happy People ", about the Duggar family, their TLC show "16, 17, etc. Kids and Counting", the charismatic leader that they follow, Bill Gothard (a Fundamentalist...

Get in loser, we're going dueling. Welcome to CULTOBER day 2! Today we go back to October of last year when Ash and Michelle talked about the vampire panic of the UK in the 60's and the Highgate Cemetery Vampire!⁠ Satanic cult rituals, a haunted pub, media frenzy and a decades-long duel between celeb wizards about what was haunting the famous Highgate Cemetery!⁠ Check out Michelle talking about sl...

It's not a Listenersode, it's just an episode... but really it's our first annual TSFU Spookysode! This episode is with former audio engineer Evette Darensbourg, from October 2021. If you're a new listener you may have heard her sweet little voice pop in during the Cam episodes! Happy CULTOBER friends, we hope you're staying safe out there! This week we have a special little twist on a regular Lis...

What if you were trafficked into a cult...or were mauled by a grizzly bear...or were stabbed 27 times by a serial killer - what would you do? This is Actually Happening brings you extraordinary true stories of life-changing events told by the people who lived them. In their newest season, you’ll hear from a man who watched as his wife developed 21 new identities, or the women who began seeing demo...

For fifteen years you could call a private number in Manhattan and anonymously apologize for anything. It was called The Apology Line. This is the story of the phone line and the man at the other end who became consumed by his own creation. He was known as “Mr. Apology.” As thousands of callers flooded the line, confessing to everything from shoplifting to adultery, drug dealing, to murder, Mr. Ap...

Oh man friends, it has been sooooo real doing Scientology with Alex! We certainly have learned a lot! But alas, TSFU isn't an anti-Scientology show, so on to other coercive groups we go! Ash and Alex talk about a particularly odd run-in that Alex has with Jared Leto (I know, ewwwww, make sure to listen to our episode on him now if you haven't yet!) and what they'll be getting up to in the coming m...

Ash and Alex are back, ALRIGHT! This week the dynamic duo return with a bang! Alex tells Ash about Scientology's Sea Organization (aka Hell), the 'Ideal Org' program and the Church's FSM (field staff member) program and how it looks super weirdly close to an MLM (multi-level marketing company, hey huns)! Find Alex on his YouTube channel to hear soooo much more about Scientology and to see all of t...

It's Diving Week here at TSFU! We're wrapping up "TSFU Presents: Ominous Oceans" and will be back to our regular schedule next week (hint: it's an oldie but goodie about a football player with a white Ford Bronco)! Just a heads up, we will be taking a break from TSFU Presents during August, so if you wonder where the episodes went, don't worry, we'll back with an amazing new season in September! "...

Ok y'all knoooow I love an acronym but I really did think that "Deadly Deep Diving Disaster" was the most apropos description for this episode! As most of you know, I'm currently in Denmark and am in a pretty rural location with very spotty internet, so I'm currently at a coffee shop with wifi to get you your goodies (aka episodes lol)! And... what's kind of funny is that this episode is co-hosted...

In honor of the start of National Geographic’s annual Shark Week, this week on TSFU Presents: Ominous Oceans , we're bringing you a bonus episode about sharks since the rest of the season ( shockingly, considering Ash's obsession ) doesn't include any shark stories... but don't worry, we've got some insanely spooky sea stories lined up for you! Welcome to sunny New Smyrna Beach, Florida, better kn...

And as always, don't forget to subscribe to his chan...

This week Ash and Fallon conclude TSFU Presents: MLM Mayhem on one of the biggies, that recently paid out $12.5 in a class action lawsuit, Herbalife! We know it seems weird to end on "episode 3", but let's summarize who and what we learned about this month: An introduction to what MLMs are LuLaRoe Amway Beachbody (and we'll have a bonus episode sometime in the near future where we talk with a form...

Last week on Ash and Alex Do Scientology , they went through up to OT Level II. Do you know what that means? Today is OTIII day! You down with OTIII? Ya, you know me! Just kidding, I'm not, because Scientology is bad. Like really bad, if you haven't caught on yet. But this is where we get to meet our homeboy Xenu, and start to suspect that ol' LRH was maybe tripping a little bit of balls when he w...

This week we hit Dianetics (no, it's not the text book or Bible of Scientology like Ash, and maybe you, though) up through OT (Operating Thetan) Level II. I know... what the hell did I just say, right?! But that means that TOMORROW you'll finally learn what happens at OT III and trust me y'all... this is what you have been waiting for. You can't gloss over this episode though because there is stil...

This week we're going way back to November 2021... and the 1970's-1990's (yes, Ted went undetected for that long). If you haven't yet heard, Ted Kaczynski, a victim of MKUltra experiments and the man notoriously known as "the Unabomber" died by suicide on June 10, 2023. Ash and former co-host Cam, along with former audio engineer Evette, discuss the heinous government experiments known as MKUltra,...

This is a Patreon Bonus episode, and has never before been released to the public. Enjoy! And make sure to check out our Patreon for alllll sorts of super neat stuff! "We're getting the band back together!" is how honorary TSFU member Dr. Bryanna Fox so affectionately referred to us doing this interview, back in November of 2021... and it's been way too long so hopefully we'll be seeing her again...

This week Ash and Alex take a break from their regular programming to talk about the landmark case that not only exposed many of Scientology's worst practices, but also brought justice to Danny Masterson's rape victims. He's been charged with TWO counts of forcible rape and will be spending a minimum of the next 30 years behind bars! It's an amazing week for all SA survivors! MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING...
