"Mental health expert" Lima Jevremovic came on the channel in August of 2020 touting a new virtual reality therapy that she had come up with that could cure addiction, mental health issues, homelessness and more... and it seemed that her and Mark Laita, owner of the Soft White Underbelly channel, already had a "guinea pig" in mind.This is the introduction to Amanda's story and the insane web surrounding her tragic death.Ash also discusses addiction and suicide stats post election and her journey through the different phases of relapse.✨Please consider supporting us on Patreon, for early ad-free content and so much more for as little as $5 a month! 🩷Or make a one time donation on Buy Me a Coffee!✨👾We have an amazing community of friends and fans on Discord and it's open to everyone🕸️Visit That's So Fcked Up's Website: https://tsfuthepodcast.com/📸TSFU on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tsfuthepodcast/👀Ash on IG: https://www.instagram.com/ashleyloverichards/📲Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thats-so-fcked-up/id1508752329🎧Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2zo86q0aYvNSg8prn1k73N?si=590fae149eb24218Audio editing by Ryan Truby.

If you watched Tiger King on Netflix in 2020, you probably remember the a**hole with a long ponytail who constantly dresses like he's on safari and surrounds himself with skinny women who like like Jane from Tarzan, constantly toting tigers on leashes. That man was Doc Antle, owner of Myrtle Beach Safari, the "zoo" that inspired Joe Exotic to open The Greater Wynnewood Exotic Animal Park. Antle started off as a magician who got real tight with famous Guru Swami Satchidananda Saraswati, and became somewhat of a celebrity at Swami's Yogaville compound in Virginia. He began claiming to be a doctor and enlightened being, amassing followers and abusing teenage girls, and things only got crazier from there. Antle is a notorious abuser of big cats, but today's story more focuses on Antle himself and the cult that he runs, but calls a "wildlife preserve".TW: Animal abuse and severe maimingSPOILERS:Ash and Fallon also discuss Max's new docuseries Chimp Crazy and one of the most insane stories Ash has ever heard. "Former nurse-turned-exotic-animal-broker Tonia Haddix spends her days caring for animals in captivity, referring to herself as the "Dolly Parton of chimps." However, her limitless love for one chimpanzee spins into a wild cat-and-mouse game with authorities and an animal rights group. Through the experiences of Tonia and other "chimp moms," "Chimp Crazy" is a series that reveals the bonds between owners and their highly intelligent great ape pets, as well as the risks to the welfare of the animals themselves."- WikipediaPlay Bingo with us!
