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

Erin and Nicole used the premise of this episode as an excuse to talk about that time in the 90s, when musician Sting wouldn't stop talking about his yoga-fueled, hours-long sex sessions with his wife, Trudie Styler. Seriously, that's it. I mean, I guess they also briefly talk about Neotantra and how it's different from Tantra, and how it shows up in western yoga and sexy stuff. But also, Sting!

Don't let the time travel to ~570 BCE ancient Greece, and the talk of "math and theorems" put you off of this episode. Yes, Erin and Nicole are discussing Pythagoras today, but this guy was a TRIP. Wildly egotistical, the modern definition of "culty," and the hottest take on beans anyone's ever had, then or now.  Go to blendjet.com and use code dtfu12 to save 12% off your order OR use my special link and the discount will be applied at checkout zen.ai/dtfu12 SHOW INFORMATION Hosted and produced by Nicole Mackie and Erin Saul Merch: Dude, That’s F****d Up Store Patreon: Patreon.com/DTFUPodcast Facebook Page: @DFTUPodcast Facebook Group: Listeners of Dude, That's F****d Up Instagram: @DTFUPodcast Twitter: @DTFUPodcast YouTube: DTFUPodcast Website: DTFUPodcast.com Email: DTFUPodcast@gmail.com Music: The Hands of Stone Artwork: Brad Walters Design Subscribe: Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Google Podcasts --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/dude-thats-fd-up8/support

There are a lot of grifters in the paranormal space, what with your psychics, mediums and ghost hunters. But the worst one wears a bowler hat and appears to be a graduate of Mystery's School of Douchery: Zachary "Zak" Bagans. This man is never not peacocking; whether it's showing off his personal collection of "haunted" garbage in his Las Vegas museum, or berating his staff on National television for "insulting a demon," this guy is all show. Erin and Nicole review the latest series in the Ghost Adventures franchise ("House Calls"), debate the ethics of profiting off of problematic "artifacts," and speculate on the reasons Nicole still somehow finds this guy...attractive?

A flu from sky goo sounds disgusting, because it is. What even is sky goo? Should we even be asking that question...I know!
