ASH LEARNS THE BIBLE: Ep. 2- Wandering Through the Damn Desert Aug 07, 2024

Show notes

This was originally released as a Patreon exclusive and now we're sharing with everyone!
Don't forget, you can access episodes 1-14 of Ash Learns The Bible on Patreon RIGHT NOW!
The Bible is back, babies! Ash still knows very little about the #1 best-selling book in the world, of all time... and this time she is joined by friends Kristal and Ryan, who come from very different religious backgrounds (see below).
In our second episode, Kristal dives into the second book of the Old Testament, Exodus. She talks about the plagues brought upon Egypt by God, who seemed to be on both Joseph and Pharaoh's side, it's very confusing. Then, the Israelites finally make it out of Egypt only to wander around the desert for years, following God, who generally took the shape of a pillar of smoke. The "chosen people" are not stoked.
Kristal Adams is a Black woman who was raised Christian on the West Coast. She is a hilarious, well-respected and award winning comedian, writer and more... she's kind of a big deal. Find Kristal on her Linktree, check her out on TheGram, and find more info about and tickets to for her live stand-up shows here.
Ryan Pregent is a Caucasian man who grew up Catholic on the East Coast, and is a former TSFU team member.

Show notes

For this season of TSFU Presents, we are highlighting some of the worst of the worst of Yucky Yogis. This episode is a throwback from way back when in Season 2, in 2020... we were such babies!!
Ash and Cam dive into two different cults for your listening pleasure! Ash talks about the Buddhafield cult and its leader Jaime Gomez aka Michel aka Andreas aka Reyji (or God King), who started off as a small time gay porn actor. And Cam covers Order of the Solar Temple, a super secret society whose founders drew inspiration from different UFO, Doomsday and New Age cults, making sure they hit all the bases.
The gals also discuss some of the very relatable reasons that people join cults, and how the leaders control members.

SUMMER FUN FAVES: Mystery Island- Metal Dentures, Mayhem and Murder Aug 01, 2024

Show notes

Ash and former co-host Cam talk about the nuts-o shenanigans that went down on the Galapagos island of Floreana in the early 1930s in the last episode of season 4 from 2021! Jeepers Creepers!⁠
Ash covers nudist, Nietzsche obsessed, metal denture sharing, German couple Dr. Friedrich Ritter and his younger lover Dore Strauch, and what happened on the small, desolate island of Floreana shortly after their arrival. Arriving to a deserted and barren island, the pair quickly became internationally known as "the modern day Adam and Eve". They were enjoying their privacy until two unwanted parties arrived: the Wittmers, a German family of four, and a gunslinging, self-proclaimed Austrian Baroness, accompanied by her two adoring lovers/servants who, at her behest, battled daily for her affection. Everyone hated each other and madness ensued.
Cameron Dexter and Ashley had an amazing two year run of hosting the show together (if you're wondering where the first 2 seasons are, episodes 1-24, they're available on Patreon, along with 30 amazing guest interviews and more)! You can follow Cam and find out about her latest projects on IG @cameronhollydexter. And if you're not new to the show, but somehow missed this gem, you're welcome!

SHARK MONTH: Sinking of the U.S.S. Indianapolis- The Worst Shark Attack in History Jul 25, 2024

Show notes

For our big finale on 2024's Shark Month, we reach back into the 2021 vaults and bring you a Patreon exclusive. This week Ash and Cam tell you about The Worst Shark Attack In History. This is a big one guys!
The sinking of the USS Indianapolis on July 30, 1945, is still the U.S. Navy's greatest loss of life at sea. Roughly 300 men went down with the ship and the other 900 were left to survive adrift in the open, shark infested, Philippine Sea for the next five agonizing days. Only 317 of those men would survive, against all odds- dehydration, starvation, exhaustion, delirium and of course... sharks.

Mary is also the author of "Reflections and Memories of An Amish Misfit: "My therapist says that's not true, but I digress". AND, as if that wasn't enough, they also host the podcast, The Misfit Amish and appeared in the Peacock docuseries, "Sins of the Amish", which we discussed in Episode 155- Amish Cults: Beneath the Bonnet.
Mary was born Old Order Amish but escaped in 2004 after being sexually abused most of their life. Now Mary works to bring visibility to LGBTQ Amish and advocate for Amish children suffering abuse.

TSFU: Ep. 157 - Love or Control: The Dark Truth of Netflix's "Tell Them You Love Me" Jul 19, 2024

Show notes

DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A RATING AND REVIEW ON APPLE OR A RATING ON SPOTIFY FOR ASH'S BIRTHDAY! 😍🥳
Today Ash tells Fallon all about the Netflix documentary "Tell Them You Love Me." If you haven't seen it yet, the documentary tells the controversial story of Anna Stubblefield, a white university professor, and Derrick Johnson, a disabled, non-verbal black man with cerebral palsy. Anna claims she was able to unlock Derrick and help him communicate using a keyboard. Eventually they wind up in a "consensual sexual relationship," but Derrick's family (who have guardianship) isn't buying it. What follows is a court case that challenges how we define simple things like communication, disability, and consent.

Happy Shark Week! This week Ash and former co-host Michelle talk about two poor souls, Tom and Eileen Lonergan, who were forgotten at sea while scuba diving!

SHARK MONTH: The Sinking of the Trashman Yacht and Hundreds of Tiger Sharks Jul 14, 2024

Show notes

IT'S SHARK MONTH!! This week Ash and former co-host Michelle talk about the scariest shark attacks that Ashley has ever heard of!
Ash tells the story of the 1982 sinking of the Trashman Yacht. As five people headed from Maine to Florida through "hurricane alley", they suddenly got hit by a huge storm. They were stuck at sea for days, with no supplies, surrounded by hundreds of hungry and aggressive tiger sharks. Only two of them made it out of the horrid situation alive. You may remember Ash telling this story in episode 8, back in the day. But don't worry, this time she added just a tad more detail, making the story twice as long, and realllly taking you there.
