This week, Erin and Nicole are celebrating unions for getting us the 8 hour workday! You know those Corporate Tycoons would have Americans working 17 hour days, 6 days a week if they could. In fact, people (read: Republicans) are still out here, trying to find loopholes so kids can be exploited on the job. WILD.

Erin & Nicole threw in a 5th GPT-generated story this episode, to 1) make it more challenging to guess the listener story and 2) soften the blow that November 29th, 2023 will be the final episode of the podcast (for now). We have LOVED doing this podcast the last (almost!) seven years and will miss you all so much-oop! did I just out myself as the writer of these episode descriptions? Sh*t. I meant to keep the curtain down until the very end! Ok, well, it's been me all along!

The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 was, in fact, not great. It was awful. Devastating. Erin and Nicole talk about the conditions which led to such a destructive fire, how people responded, and why one woman was blamed for the entire thing. It's a real hot mess.

One little misunderstanding in Europe in the twelfth century, and people started takin' mummified remains for a headache! Or epilepsy. Or a rug burn! They were really taking mummified remains for any and all ailments. Erin discusses how this communication came about and why it resulted in the pillaging of Egypt's deceased. Nicole shares some other forms of medicinal cannibalism and a few printed recipes from almost a thousand years of eating dead people for health purposes.

Ohio is for lovers - or is it loveland?! In this episode, Erin and Nicole get horny about the Loveland Frogman. A cryptid, native to Ohio, who (according to renderings) is ripped like a wrestler.

The origins of Halloween (as we now know it) can be traced back to the Celtic season of Samhain, and the tradition of ushering in that season, as well as the souls of deceased loved ones from the realm of the dead. It can also be tied to a Cat Cave. Is it exactly what it sounds like? You'll have to listen to Erin and Nicole to find out! Muah ah ah!

In 1945, a B-25 bomber accidentally hit the Empire State Building, killing several people. Betty Lou Oliver, an elevator operator, was one of those people injured. Surprisingly, that incident was NOT the lowest point of her day. Join Erin and Nicole as they decide if this was, indeed, the worst last day on the job of all time, before they play two bespoke rounds of trivia: one Disney, and one September! **Timestamp 00:00 - 11:05: we're using backup audio we captured for Erin, as we had some mic issues!

We're mere weeks out from the Delta diarrhea fiasco that turned a whole-ass International flight around, so naturally Erin and Nicole can't stop thinking about it. That is, until this week, when a rabbit's hole led Erin to a 1975 Japan Airlines flight where nearly 60% of passengers fell ill with only an hour remaining to their destination. The culprit? You'll have to listen to find out!

Everyone's heard the "Five Love Languages," right? It's so engrained in pop culture, it feels like it's an actual thing. Turns out, it was made up by a 50 year old fundamentalist Christian man in the 1990s and we've all just assumed it's some kind of psychology! Erin and Nicole share the results their own findings, delve into the origin of the "5 love languages," and round out the convo with criticism of the creator from various (actual) experts on the topic!

Erin and Nicole are back this week to talk about a few things that happened during their summer break, and someone we lost: Paul Reubens. How does this podcast even exist without Pee-Wee's Big Adventure? It doesn't, it can't, because without that film and without Paul Reubens, we wouldn't have anything. RIP, Pee-Wee.

Just outside of Louisville, Kentucky, lurks a man-goat-sheep monster with a propensity for luring people to their death. Erin and Nicole discuss the lore of the Pope Lick Monster, the *real* threat in this scenario (an underdeveloped, 20-something's brain), and what the Pope Lick Monster's genitals might look like, because of course.

It's 2023, and people* are really still out here, making fashion inspired by unhoused people, appropriating indigenous styles and selling their wares in their Texas-based Flagship Plantation- er, location. Erin and Nicole aren't planning to wear "fashion" brand Magnolia Pearl anytime soon, mostly because of the aforementioned issues, but also because that sh*t is expensive as hell! *Read: white women 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://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dude-thats-fd-up8/support

Reborn babies can be therapeutic for people who have experienced postpartum depression, fertility issues, childhood trauma, etc. Or maybe they're just a hobby for someone who likes to play caretaker. Either way, they can be cute, but they can *also* be creepy. Erin and Nicole have a very frank discussion about their feelings relating to Reborn babies, the controversies within the Reborn Baby community, and they take a look at some of the worst Reborn Babies on Etsy.

Coney Island wasn't always just hot dogs and roller coasters. It started as marsh land inhabited by Native people, and then it was beaches for rich people and THEN it had hot dogs. Erin and Nicole learn about the history of Coney Island, both in how it was developed and the ways it has evolved to be what it is today (which is a very cool, historical landmark that is also very crowded and a b*tch to get to from Manhattan).

Oof. Did you know there are whole human beings who think the Titanic never sank? Are they the same people who went down in the Titan Submersible? Who's to say, but Erin and Nicole have a lot of thoughts about the botched billionaire ocean romp, and even more thoughts on the conspiracy theorists out here on these internets, acting like the Titanic wasn't an actual, horrible disaster.
