Show notes

🚨GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD WAS RELEASED FROM CHILLICOTHE CORRECTIONAL CENTER AT 3:30 AM ON THURSDAY 12/28/24! YAY GYPSY! JOIN ASH LIVE TOMORROW, SATURDAY 12/30, AT 11 AM EST FOR AN UPDATE (EVEN IF YOUTUBE ISN'T YOUR JAM, YOU CAN JUST LISTEN... JUST LIKE A PODCAST): https://www.youtube.com/@tsfuthepodcastlive 🚨
In April of 2022, on episode 91, Ash and longtime co-host Cam talked about a complex case that had always fascinated and saddened Ashley, the abuse of Gypsy Rose Blanchard and murder of her mother Dee Dee.
Ash covered the lifelong abuse of Gypsy Rose by her mother Dee Dee, who had factitious disorder imposed on another (previously called Munchausen syndrome by proxy), and Dee Dee's murder at the hands of Gypsy's boyfriend. Gypsy suffered extreme physical and mental abuse for decades and once she could no longer face the daily horrors that were her life, feeling she had no other way out, she turned to murder.
TW: Extreme child abuse.

TSFU: Ep. 140- Silent Hill: The Town That's Been on Fire for Over 60 Years Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

Ever seen the movie or played the game "Silent Hill"? Did you know it's based on a real town?!
Centralia, PA. has been on fire for over 60 years. In the mid 60s firefighters allegedly attempted to clean up the town landfill, which was located in an abandoned strip-mine pit, by lighting the dump on fire to let it burn for some time. This had been done before, only this time, the fire spread through an opening in the pit, into the labyrinth of mines running below Centralia... and it's been raging over since. Do people still live there? Tune in to find out!

TSFU PRESENTS: Nostalgic Nineties- Ep. 3: The Controversial Life of Michael Jackson Dec 27, 2023

Show notes

As you'll see with Selena next week, this season was unintentionally a season full of girl on girl crime! We had Lewinsky vs Tripp, Harding vs Kerrigan and next week we'll hear about the murder of the "Queen of Tejano Music", Selena Quintanilla, by her jealous fangirl Yolanda Saldívar.
This episode is not filled with girl on girl crime though, it's in fact a story of man on boy crime. Starting with Joe Jackson abusing his children into musical perfection with "The Jackson 5", through Michael's abuse of multiple young boys at his Neverland Ranch.*
*We're trying to bring more attention to the abuse and mental health issues of boys and men, opening people's eyes to the prevalence of these things, and joining the fight to reduce stigma. Check out our episodes with "Love is Blind" season 2's Nick Thompson and actor and activist Jon Snow to hear stories of resilience from some amazing men.

TSFU: Ep. 139- MLM Madness: Holiday Magic- Homemaking and Felating Dildos Dec 22, 2023

Show notes

Have you heard of Holiday Magic?! It's an MLM that successfully ran from 1964-1974, and was created by a dude (obviously) who saw a bunch of home products and cosmetics in someone's garage one day and apparently asked if he could buy it all.
These "beautician magicians" and other Holiday Magic employees were forced to complete a seminar at the Leadership Dynamics Institute, known for it's traumatic "sensitivity trainings", which included such activities as felating dildos and being locked in a cage for hours. I don't know about you, but I feel like my sales would just skyrocket after this!

TSFU PRESENTS: Nostalgic Nineties- Ep. 2: Tonya Harding and Nancy’s Knee Dec 20, 2023

Show notes

As we all know, unless you were living under a rock which is cool too, the '90s took 2023 by storm. Butterfly clips, gigantic pants, Ed Hardy and Juicy all unfortunately came back, so let's bring back some of the cool stuff from the '90s too... like the crimes we alllll remember!
This week, Ash tells Fallon about Tonya Harding and her infamous rivalry with fellow figure skater, Nancy Kerrigan. Tonya Harding was and is one of the most talented figure skaters to have graced the ice, but she was always a little too poor and rough around the edges for this glamour world's liking. But Tonya is less remembered for her triple axels, and more for Nancy Kerrigan's injury to the leg, right above the knee. But just how much responsibility did Tonya actually have in this incident?

TRENDING TOPIC: "Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God" Part II (YouTube Live) Dec 19, 2023

Show notes

Remember Amy Carlson? Called herself Mother God and was found deceased wrapped in a sleeping bag and Christmas lights, with her eyes covered in glitter?! Trevin from "Live, Laugh, Larceny" and I went live a couple of weeks ago to talk about the last two episodes of "Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God".
"Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God chronicles the life and death of Amy Carlson, also known as Mother God, a self-proclaimed spiritual savior who built a cult through her online manifestos and live-streaming sessions. As Amy's health declined, her followers believed her death would lead to her evacuation by UFO and salvation for humanity. Told through the eyes of Amy’s devotees and constructed from the cult’s archival footage, the three-part docuseries captures the perils of internet proselytizing and a conspiracy-driven faith." - HBO

TSFU: Ep. 138- Coercion: Romance Reality TV, Culty AF Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

It's raining episodes! Are you a fan of "The Bachelor", a sucker for "Love is Blind" or lover of "90 Day Fiancé"? We're so sorry for presenting this ugly peek behind the curtains, it can really take the fun out of watching this stuff when you know what the actors/subjects/contestants are subjected to.
Fallon breaks Ash's heart as she tells her about how the producers pull a lot of strings behind the scenes to get the narrative that they want. They manipulate people and use culty tactics on the reality stars to present the story that they think we'll most enjoy (and they're unfortunately right). Why can't we have nice things?!
