We've all been there. You hit just the right ratio of G&Ts to several of your favorite songs played in a row and BAM! You're dancing so hard you're in danger of slipping in a pool of your own sweat. This week, Erin and Nicole discuss the biggest, most dangerous dance party to ever exist. People danced for so long and so hard, they died. Sad, but what a way to go...

Imagine, if you will, the Gathering of the Juggalos. Add a few more white people dreadlocks, subtract everyone's shoes, multiply by the largest off-beat drum circle you can think of and you have The Rainbow Gathering. It's half cult, half festival and 100% nothing Erin and Nicole ever want to be a part of.

This is a pretty standard episode, with the exception of it having a True Crime-y vibe, just in time for Halloween! Join Erin and Nicole as they discuss the details around The Borden Murders, and why everyone in that household was just about ready to murder someone.

This week, Erin and Nicole read some of your worst (and funniest) surgery-related horror stories. So I guess it's kind of on-brand for Halloween? But also, it's on-brand for the surgery Nicole is recovering from. (A Note from the Editor: Honestly, these were such a treat and very comforting in a weird way and thank you to everyone who sent one in! -Nicole)

Show of hands: who here has a Roku? Have you ever watched any of the Roku Channels? These are independently created/programmed channels by individuals (and also cults) that feature a wide range of content. From Water Sports (not what it sounds like) to Catbox TV (also not what it sounds like) to Reddit Browser (what it sounds like) Erin and Nicole discuss the weirdest things they can find in the Roku Directory.

In this episode, Erin and Nicole talk about President Warren G. Harding, and the numerous love affairs he had. Some of which bore tell-all books (a first!), some which bore children and some which bore a reason to not hang your coat in the White House coat closet. Come for the facts, stay for the love letter excerpts, where he names his dong after Nicole's uncle.

Roughly translated from French, this week's title means "Egg and Beef." Coincidentally, both of those things are lewks Lady Gaga has donned on the red carpet. Which leads us to todays episode topic: the conspiracy theory around the death of a rising pop star and Lady Ga-Ga's own rise to fame.

Barely any business upfront and a whole lot of party (aka rosé) in the back? Must be a mulletsode! Erin and Nicole skipped the research this week to bring you some amazing listener stories while they sipped wine IN PERSON. You do not want to miss this Boss Babe Predator having, Birdshit Necklace wearing, Bloated Elvis seeing, Sisterhood of the Traveling Sex Toy sharing episode!

Erin and Nicole originally planned this episode to be a love letter to the legendary Bill Murray. He's an immensely talented actor, a whimsical human and an all around fun guy. But, as with DTFU's favorite vegetable the on-yun, humans have many layers and some are outright stinky. Anyway, we uncovered some unfortunate things and we're having a conversation.

You know it is! But this one is special. Usually, cults have some talk of a god or aliens or chakras to mask the sex stuff. But not this one - this cult is all business. Seriously, it might also be a pyramid scheme. This cult moves straight from walking in the door to "Orgasmic Meditation" to getting people to spend thousands of dollars without batting an eyelash. They are hardworking little clit cadets!

Join Erin and Nicole as they discuss One Taste, the Orgasmic Meditation Cult!
