Episode 20 is a little longer than usual because there's just so much to celebrate! Ok, but also, Erin and Nicole each drink half a bottle of (v. good) champagne and they won't shut up about this week's topic. Picture this: you're a peasant in the European countryside. The year? 1348. You're hungry. You're feeling riddled with fever. Your lymph nodes are purple and swollen to the size of golf balls in your armpit and crotch. You go to Goop.com looking for the cure-all-jade-egg while thinking "WWGD?" EXCEPT GWYNETH CAN'T HELP YOU AND YOU HAVE THE BUBONIC PLAGUE! Annnnnnnd you're dead. Buhbye! (Wait! Don't forget to rate, review and subscribe! And follow @DTFUPodcast on #soshmeeds. Ok, now buhbye.)

Unemployment, Bill Cosby, Sloppy Joes, Warm Milk, Meth - this episode has it all. Kind of like Rumspringa, the time in an Amish kid's life when they leave the farm and head for the bowling alleys of Pennsylvania or Ohio or wherever. You thought Erin and Nicole hated talking about Sasquatch? You haven't heard this episode!

HOW (!?) did these two cram so much into a single episode of DTFU? It could be that they're trying to avoid this week's topic... Erin and Nicole share an update from Laura, who "noped!" her way out of Target in E16: Defile High Club. Erin recounts the time she discovered Facebook filters and her likeness to "hot Jesus." Nicole learns from a new fan she's the one with the cackle. And after a story about a snake, they finally (and begrudgingly) get to the topic of this episode: Bigfoot (aka Sasquatch). Believe it or not (not), there's a lot to be said about this giant, stinking, elusive, possibly female creature.

This week, Erin and Nicole have two tickets to the cult-classic Hale Bopp at the newly refurbished Heaven's Gate! The show starts at 1997. Total cost is (1) human body. Castration free with the purchase of every ticket. Special performance by Herff Jr. and the Eggars immediately following the show.

Take a busload of sex, drugs and rock & roll. Lay it all out on a waterbed. Bring it up to a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet, and release the Peter Frampton! This week, Erin and Nicole report on the happenings of the "flying gin palace" known as The Starship. It was the ONLY way to travel in the early 1970s if you were a rock god. Also, play along to a little game of "spot the coerced listener story!"

Erin has all the mouth feels for an egg sandwich in Japan. Nicole steps in as the therapist in a backroom comedy show. But that can't possibly fill an hour, you say!? The real story this week is the "kidnapping" of Patty Hearst; American royalty, heir to a print fortune, Tania. Pop the cap on that Zima and join these two as they recount Patty's involvement with the SLA during the 1970s. It's completely Fascist-nating.

Hope you're hungry for adventure, because this episode is jam packed! First, Nicole tries to clear up a misunderstanding about Louis XIV before both dudes swap travel horror stories in preparation for Erin's 15-hour flight to Japan. Still, their stories pale in comparison to the travelog of the Donner-Reed party and the trek they made along the Oregon Trail. An early storm, a jabroni tour guide and a bunch more bad moves along the way sealed this party's fate in the wild, wild west.

The girls say "like" too much, according to Nicole's mom, and Erin's mom can't weigh in because she's never listened to this podcast. Luckily, the girls are only derailed for a few minutes, before a brilliant segue into cereal. Pour yourself a bowl of anything but Grapenuts, as we'll spoon feed you the crazy on the Kellogg Brothers. Mmmmm, yummy!

Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy is the topic du jour and the conversation gets a little dark. Luckily, Erin has a cat with impeccable comedic timing to lift everyone's spirits! Join us for a listener story about a parasite, a bunch of legitimately bad moms and finally, a story that Nicole argues is a heroic tale of revenge!

It's Erin and Nicole's first fan submission, and the fan may or may not be Nicole's first cousin Natalie! A can't miss, must-hear, fun fact for your next dinner party. Then, Erin and Nicole criticize the companies behind some of the biggest and most recent pyramid-marketing schemes. Buckle up and buy in, we're all getting rich off of this episode!
