Reeemiiiiix! This week we flashback to December 2021, when Ash first explored MLMs with former co-host Cam! The gals discussed the LuLaRoe pyramid scheme.What's an MLM? Hint: it stands for multi-level marketing! What's the difference between an MLM and a pyramid scheme? Nothing. Are MLMs cults? Yup. Ash tells former co-host Cam about the pyramid scheme that blew up in the mid 2000s thanks to their "buttery soft" leggings that came in crazy patterns and apparently fit everyone like a glove (even according to Cam's mom!). LuLaRoe offered women, mostly young mothers, the promise of working part-time from home, for full-time income and the ability to be with their kids. But the family-owned business grew faster than anyone imagined, and storage and greed problems caused the smelly leggings epidemic, which led to dozens of lawsuits and hundreds of lives ruined. Join us as we dive into the incredibly insidious world of MLMs.This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp.

"In 1973, five men and six women drifted across the Atlantic on a raft as part of a scientific experiment studying the sociology of violence, aggression and sexual attraction in human behavior. Although the project became known in the press as 'The Sex Raft', nobody expected what ultimately took place on that three month journey. Through extraordinary archive material and a reunion of the surviving members of the expedition on a full scale replica of the raft, this film tells the hidden story behind what has been described as 'one of the strangest group experiments of all time.'” - IMDbTW: brutal death of a shark.-Join us for as little as $5 a month on Patreon!-We'd love to see you in our Discord, come hang out!-We have awesome new merch, go take a look!-Follow us on Instagram and Twitter!-Audio editing by Nicole Peek.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4523794/advertisement

Ash and Dawn Brody of the hilarious and insanely informative HILF: History I'd Like to Fuck podcast start to wrap up the Jonestown saga.The People's Temple members who go to Guyana first soon find out just how hard that jungle is to clear and how much effort and time it will take to grow crops to sustain the congregation. Meanwhile, back in California, Jones makes Jonestown out to be a paradise with propoganda videos that he ordered the members in Guyana to make. He also starts introducing a lot of talk about sacrifice and death at this point. And when a defaming article comes out about him, he quickly moves the rest of the congregation to what would become their Guyanese jungle hell.Find Dawn from HILF: History I'd Like To Fck here:https://www.dawnbrodey.com/Follow HILF: History I'd Like To Fck on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/HILFpodcast/Dawn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dawn_brodey/-Join us for as little as $5 a month on Patreon!-We'd love to see you in our Discord, come hang out!-We have awesome new merch, go take a look!-Follow us on Instagram and Twitter!-Audio editing by Gaytrice Perdue and Malissa Coulson.-Research assistance by Fallon Morey.-Sources:Forty years after the Jonestown massacre, a new book chronicles the deep ties between the depraved cult leader Jim Jones and prominent Democratic politicians. | City Journal (city-journal.org)Jonestown - Wikipediahttps://www.hulu.com/series/truth-and-lies-jonestown-paradise-lost-fd3b83b5-35dc-4089-bd74-a11b1697ee86https://www.amazon.com/Undaunted-Surviving-Jonestown-Summoning-Fighting/dp/1503903605https://www.amazon.com/Road-Jonestown-Jones-Peoples-Temple/dp/1476763828https://www.lesliewagnerwilson.org/https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=28703https://time.com/6120017/jonestown-massacre-survivors/https://time.com/longform/jonestown-aftermath/This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4523794/advertisement

This week, Ash proves that the 'ol saying "the higher the hair, the closer to God" might not be so true.Gwen Shamblin, subject of HBO's The Way Down, was a tiny woman with huge hair full of secrets. She started as a weight loss guru with her Christian diet program, The Weigh Down Workshop and skyrocketed to success with her book The Weigh Down Diet. Both focus on "praying the pounds away”! As Gwen gained more power and her hair grew taller, she started to get that God complex thing going on, and of course, stuff gets abusive and MAGA weird (easter egg!).-Join us for as little as $5 a month on Patreon!-We'd love to see you in our Discord, come hang out.

Hey-ohhh, here to totally bum you out again as Ali tells Ash about the death of Tamla Horsford.This week, Ali talks about the extremely tragic and totally fcked up death of Tamla Horsford. On the night of November 3, 2018, a group of women who knew each other from the local youth football league that their sons played in gathered for a "slumber party" to watch the LSU-Alabama game and have some girly fun. Tamla was the only POC invited, and the only one who was found murdered the next morning. Accidental death??

This month, TSFU Presents: Jonesin' for Jonestown! Ash and Dawn Brodey of the hilarious and insanely informative podcast HILF: History I'd Like to Fuck, take a hard look at how Jones' "church" began and the events that led up to its tragic end.In their first episode, Ash tells Dawn about the beginnings of The People's Temple (hint: it was originally called something much sillier), and how it looked really groovy and progressive at first! Ash talks about how she probably would have joined, and tries very hard, but unsuccessfully, to get Dawn to join the TSFU cult.Find Dawn from HILF: History I'd Like To Fck here:https://www.dawnbrodey.com/Follow HILF: History I'd Like To Fck on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/HILFpodcast/Dawn's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dawn_brodey/-Join us for as little as $5 a month on Patreon!-We'd love to see you in our Discord, come hang out!-We have awesome new merch, go take a look!-Follow us on Instagram and Twitter!-Audio editing and research assistance by Fallon Morey.-Sources:Forty years after the Jonestown massacre, a new book chronicles the deep ties between the depraved cult leader Jim Jones and prominent Democratic politicians. | City Journal (city-journal.org)Jonestown - Wikipediahttps://www.hulu.com/series/truth-and-lies-jonestown-paradise-lost-fd3b83b5-35dc-4089-bd74-a11b1697ee86https://www.amazon.com/Undaunted-Surviving-Jonestown-Summoning-Fighting/dp/1503903605https://www.amazon.com/Road-Jonestown-Jones-Peoples-Temple/dp/1476763828https://www.lesliewagnerwilson.org/https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=28703https://time.com/6120017/jonestown-massacre-survivors/https://time.com/longform/jonestown-aftermath/This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/4523794/advertisement

Why does the name Stayner ring a bell? Because last week Ash and new co-host Ali talked about the story of Steven Stayner, who was just 7 years old when he was kidnapped by 2 men while he was walking home from school. If you haven't listened to episode 138 yet, make sure you do that before you jump into this one!This week Ali tells Ash about Steven Stayner's older brother Cary, who grew up to be a serial killer. Yes, you read that right. How much can one family take?! Also, ooo Cary would hate this description because it mentions Steven so much, and Cary had a tiny problem with jealousy.We're releasing this 2 days early because we're so excited for Ali's first story to air and we know y'all have probably been on the edge of your seats since last week! ALSO, we wanted to give you a little taste of what Patrons get... but they got it YESTERDAY! Join us for as little as $5 a month on Patreon!-We'd love to see you in our Discord, come hang out.
