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

What if Paul Revere was a 16 year old girl, but rode 2x the distance to warn people the British were coming? Well, then he'd be the Metal AF Sybil Ludington!

Where to start this week...ok, there's a rich guy who wrote a poem to lead people to some treasure he buried in the Rocky Mountains. Mind you, the poem is only 5 stanzas and the Rocky Mountains are 3,000 miles. Join Erin and Nicole as they try to pinpoint where Forrest Fenn's Treasure was hidden, if it even WAS hidden, and the many other f****d up aspects surrounding this topic. (Hint: the treasure may or may not be stolen indigenous artifacts.) --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dude-thats-fd-up8/support

There's a warning at the start of this episode, but I'll say it here too: you might want to abstain from eating during this week's episode. Erin and Nicole get pretty graphic talking about a form of cannibalism practiced into the 1960s by the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. So, maybe listen after lunch, and learn all about how the practice of funerary cannibalism led to "Kuru," or "The Laughing Disease." --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dude-thats-fd-up8/support

Here's a little behind the scenes tidbit: this episode was supposed to be a Patreon bonus episode, but the conversation was too relevant not to post as a regular episode. Also, Erin and Nicole want everyone to know what a POS Nathan Bedford Forrest was. Maybe you haven't heard of him? Real quick, not only was Forrest a Confederate Army General (aka a LOSER), he was also the first Grand Wizard of the KKK (yep, that checks out). And guess what? There are a LOT of statues, parks, schools and the like STILL named after this racist taint. Like, right now, in 2020. Shouldn't we take down and/or rename that crap, along with all of the other statues, parks, schools, army bases, etc that celebrate any of this country's long line of racist, old sh*tbags?! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dude-thats-fd-up8/support

The title of this week's episode COULD refer to Nicole's quest to educate her family members and old high school friends on the Black Lives Matter movement, but really, it refers to this week's topic.

So make your best surprised face (and subsequent disappointed face) as they share with you some of the worst engagement stories they could find on the internet. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dude-thats-fd-up8/support

What would you do if you had a buttload of money, too much free time, and your own personal medium telling you the spirit world was coming for you, unless you build a house? You'd break ground on the world's most f*cked up mansion, duh!

We've all read the book of Guinness World Records while on the toilet. Some records come naturally: the tallest man, the longest fingernails, the hairiest taint, etcetera etcetera. But there are some records that, despite your current level of boredom, you would NEVER think to attempt, let alone break. And yet, we find ourselves at a place and time when anything is possible! Join Erin and Nicole as they share some of the grossest, dumbest, most f****d up official World Records they could find via Google Search. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dude-thats-fd-up8/support

If you're of a certain age, you may remember the diet craze of the 1990s. SlimFast and Lean Cuisine were king, Diet Coke was at its Supermodel peak, and "fat free" was the way to be. In this episode, Erin and Nicole uncover the miracle of diet miracles: Olestra. Sure, it made your butt leaky, but FAT FREE DORITOS. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dude-thats-fd-up8/support

Erin's on her way to Ireland this week, amidst a global epidemic. And while she's a little worried about germs on the plane, they are nothing compared to the horrors she might find when she gets there. Headless horsemen, banshees and a stone that everyone puts their mouth on, that might also have been a toilet?

Not all f****d up things are true crime, but all true crime is definitely f****d up! In this episode, Erin and Nicole take a suggestion from a listener and talk about serial killer Richard Chase, aka the "Vampire of Sacramento." And maybe not entirely accidentally, they play a drinking game: anytime something is awful, drink a lot of rosé.
