0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.479

0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>don't have to before we get into the episode. I

0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>want to personally thank everyone that downloaded stream. We hit

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>at a hundred thousand downloads. I wish we have that

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>in dollars, but yeah, um, which is a great great

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>thing for a podcast, and we did it in under

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>twenty episodes, which is pretty pretty great if you think

0:01:56.800 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>of it. I never did know with my old podcast.

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>Super exciting because we're not famous, and so I feel

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>like so many famous people get like a bunch of

0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.120
<v Speaker 1>streams because they're famous, but we're not. We're just like

0:02:06.360 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>really funny and like we have like great personalities, you

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean. Like he lives in l A.

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.359
<v Speaker 1>Like it's just her riot and so I'm like honestly

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:17.480
<v Speaker 1>elated or whatever. This sounds like one of my first

0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I when I used to go on first dates in

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 1>l A when I first moved there. Like so you do.

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like you're an actor. No you're not, but like

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>comedy is offensive, and that's offensive. I'm like, okay, did

0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you ever do did you ever do dating apps in

0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 1>New York? I'm sure you did so. I am obsessed

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>with dating apps. Really. I think the majority of guys

0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>I've sucked in the last five years living in New

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:45.240
<v Speaker 1>York came from dating apps and women, Wow, which ones

0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>were you on? Riya was the last one. I was

0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>on Bumble, Hinge, Tinder, pal venmol oh Man, No, My Sugar, Daddy,

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.880
<v Speaker 1>Dad Cash. But I was on Let's see when I

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>was a real broke, I was on Seeking Arrangement. I

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:05.400
<v Speaker 1>was an app called What's Your Price? What Dude? These

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>guys would like pay to go on dates with me,

0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and it was like they were so ugly and it

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:11.040
<v Speaker 1>was never like a lot of money. I lived in

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Land at the time. It was like oh yeah, eight

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:17.000
<v Speaker 1>bucks or whatever, and they would just like pay me

0:03:17.040 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to go eat. I was on you know, I was

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>on a Hinge, Tinder, Bumble fuck j Swipe, Uh no,

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 1>I don't um, but yeah, dating apps were not the

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:35.800
<v Speaker 1>idea we should do one day an episode on dating

0:03:35.800 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>apps because we talked about it, and remember I was like,

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like we're not going to get enough facts.

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>But I think now that I'm thinking about it, like

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>we could just pick certain apps we could do this,

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>We could do dating apps, we could and then it

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>would probably spark stories from like dates we've had and

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 1>like oh my god, I met a guy off this one,

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.200
<v Speaker 1>or oh my god, I knew something. There's there's a

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>for fact sake I wanted to do recently, and my

0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>friend looked at me and she was like, are you

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>out of your fucking mind? So, for those of you

0:03:58.720 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>who don't know, I'm my father's Israeli and I was

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 1>raised Jewish and only saying that to like keep myself

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>from getting canceled. So I've been watching Unorthodox on Netflix

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>and every time, oh my god, amazing. Right, we talked

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>about it on here. We were talking about how we

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>both cried at the end. So like every time I've

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:15.680
<v Speaker 1>in Williamsburg, I'm like, oh my god, this is just

0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>like they're they're right here. This is real. Right. I

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, we got to do an episode on the Jews.

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:25.560
<v Speaker 1>She's like, no, you don't, bitch, She's like, absolutely not.

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.400
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, well it doesn't count because technically

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.279
<v Speaker 1>I am, but then she's like, no, no one cares,

0:04:31.640 --> 0:04:34.640
<v Speaker 1>So we should definitely do a religion one. And I

0:04:34.680 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>think when we do that Jews segment, oh baby, I'll

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:42.360
<v Speaker 1>let you handle that one. I'm just gonna get back

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:44.360
<v Speaker 1>and not my head like yes, you know what it is,

0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>have such like much like Islamic religion. I feel like

0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't need too many Catholics or Christians that are

0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:56.160
<v Speaker 1>like they follow principles from hundreds of years ago. So

0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>when seeing someone just in modern time in New York

0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>City and you're right next to the guy who's like

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>playing pop smoke and you know, and I just it's

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>always like, oh my god, this is real. It's like

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Shabbat every day. It's so interesting whenever I see anyone

0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>of Hasidic sort of origin walking around New York City.

0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:23.400
<v Speaker 1>When I was there, all I kept thinking was are

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:28.479
<v Speaker 1>you you're You're hot? Right, you're warm? You you must

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>be sweating, you're fitzing you got And I can tell

0:05:34.600 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>you this, my mom wears a wig. I have worn

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.039
<v Speaker 1>wigs in the summertime. You cannot. And when I see

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.080
<v Speaker 1>these women in wigs and masks, I'm like, I want

0:05:42.120 --> 0:05:46.919
<v Speaker 1>to take them both off for you girl, I get you. Um,

0:05:47.040 --> 0:05:51.360
<v Speaker 1>what a great segue into our topic, which is cults.

0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:55.320
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about religion, talking about cults now before we

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:56.919
<v Speaker 1>get into the topic, usually do fax about each other,

0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>but I want to get an opinion from you. Now.

0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:05.120
<v Speaker 1>Usually a cult leader someone who's captivating, who's captured the

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>imagination of a group of people, whether they're vulnerable or

0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 1>they're sort of people that are easily influenced. That being said,

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.120
<v Speaker 1>there are people out there that are that, these cold leaders,

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean they captivated a group of people to believe

0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:24.520
<v Speaker 1>what they believe. Give me a celebrity, a person, an artist,

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>whoever that you if they weren't famous, they're so charming

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:29.600
<v Speaker 1>captivated that do you think they could they could have

0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>let a cult Beyonce because technically, oh wait wait past

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:38.719
<v Speaker 1>for presents in at any point, at any point yeah Beyonce. Um,

0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:40.400
<v Speaker 1>just one second, want to move this to make sure

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.680
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't get to the mic. Beyonce, absolutely, because like

0:06:44.520 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>I actually have a candle with her face on it,

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and she looks like Jesus, and I feel like there's

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:53.200
<v Speaker 1>no one else I worship that's like a celebrity like Beyonce.

0:06:53.320 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's actually quite disgusting. But I've called her bess.

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:00.599
<v Speaker 1>You know that's a really do you have a candle

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.400
<v Speaker 1>for her too? If you like? This is the kind

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.440
<v Speaker 1>of part I'm talking about. If she wasn't famous, you

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.159
<v Speaker 1>would you still look up to her? I think you

0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:11.320
<v Speaker 1>would if if just someone who would like you just

0:07:11.400 --> 0:07:12.840
<v Speaker 1>know through a friend like, oh, I want to be

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>her best friend. Not to mention, like, I think Beyonce

0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.160
<v Speaker 1>has a lot of ideals we like she represents sisterhood,

0:07:18.160 --> 0:07:20.280
<v Speaker 1>girl power. She's a mom, she's a wife, but she's

0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>still sexy, Like you're so enamored by someone like that.

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>And she's an activist so that's like those other things too,

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>and she's hot. But Will Smith was the other one

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>that was on my on my mind just now. Actually

0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>really you think, like you just met Will Smith was like, Hey,

0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you want tohow me fifty bucks, you'd be like yes,

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:40.400
<v Speaker 1>Like how could you not? It's Will the Fox Smith, Dude.

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>I get entangled with that guy for sure. I think

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Reynolds could start a start a cult if he

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>wasn't famous either, either. Ryan, if they're just like they're

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:57.760
<v Speaker 1>just Ryan. Ryan Reynolds is the guy who's like played

0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>a green lantern. He's like the funny one. Yes he

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>played Deadpool. Yes, he's just so good looking guy charming. God,

0:08:06.880 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>they look alike. I know, all these hot white guys,

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.600
<v Speaker 1>but like Ryan Goslin looked at me the eyes like

0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you're really funny and do you mind driving me somewhere?

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:22.600
<v Speaker 1>Like yes, yes, And so you guys, you're gonna get

0:08:22.600 --> 0:08:25.320
<v Speaker 1>paid this week and um let me even my routing.

0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah one second, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course you

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>don't mind like lending me like half the money make

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>this year, right, you want more than half. Just something

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:39.120
<v Speaker 1>about these people that are so I'm not saying these

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:41.880
<v Speaker 1>people could start a cult, but they have qualities of

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 1>people that could lead people, because for the most part,

0:08:45.200 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 1>most people are mundane, right, Let's be honest, Like most

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>people we meet every day, they're not that memorable. But

0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:53.120
<v Speaker 1>there are moments where you do meet someone that's very striking,

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 1>and that's a fucking cult leader right there. That's a

0:08:56.040 --> 0:08:57.959
<v Speaker 1>that's it's It's like, even if we're going to talk

0:08:57.960 --> 0:09:00.080
<v Speaker 1>about people that run for presidents or like run for

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.240
<v Speaker 1>any kind of campaign, like they've all got some sort

0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>of star power. Donald Trump could easily be a cult leader. Right.

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 1>He makes you feel like Obama was just so cool. Man,

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:11.959
<v Speaker 1>He's just so cool. Okay. See, I feel like I

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 1>joined a cult of his on accident. Like he I'd

0:09:15.000 --> 0:09:16.760
<v Speaker 1>be playing pick up basketball with him and then next

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:20.960
<v Speaker 1>thing and I'm like running his errands. Yeah, yeah, did

0:09:21.040 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>you did you? Did you tell her the right? Okay? Yeah? Um,

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:27.600
<v Speaker 1>make sure you get the tailored pants. Now we were

0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>just he said. It was a great segue cults from

0:09:30.040 --> 0:09:33.200
<v Speaker 1>religion because a cult is a term that doesn't refer

0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:35.280
<v Speaker 1>to a religion at all, but it's more applied to

0:09:35.320 --> 0:09:38.559
<v Speaker 1>a social movement. So those who accept beliefs and rituals

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>a member of the religion after they accept it, so

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:45.679
<v Speaker 1>outside of it, it's considered a cult. However, the word

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>cult means a sense to a system of virtual practices.

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.800
<v Speaker 1>It was first used in the early seventeenth century and

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:54.920
<v Speaker 1>it was mean to paid homage to a certain divinity um,

0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:57.960
<v Speaker 1>and cults came from the Latin word cultists, which means

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.559
<v Speaker 1>worship um. But really, ac cult is just a newly

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>started religious movement. One thing I found really interesting the

0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:10.280
<v Speaker 1>founder of I Hop created a list to differentiate between

0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>religious community and a cult. This why did. I tried

0:10:15.880 --> 0:10:17.559
<v Speaker 1>to figure it out, and I was wondering because like,

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>like nothing was really factual that was popping up. So

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to get down what I saw, but

0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I was like, I wonder if they was coming in, Ah,

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna trying to get a deployee. So one opposing

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:33.079
<v Speaker 1>critical thinking and not by the way, when I read

0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>that at first, I was like, oh, maybe they mean

0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 1>like what everyone's thinking, mainstream thinking. No, it's opposing critical

0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:42.280
<v Speaker 1>thinking to isolating members and penalizing them for leaving, emphasizing

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:48.280
<v Speaker 1>special doctrines outside the scripture, UH, seeking inappropriate loyalty to

0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:56.640
<v Speaker 1>their leaders, dishonoring the family unit, crossing biblical boundaries, um

0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.360
<v Speaker 1>of behavior versus sexual purity, and personal own a ship,

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>which is normally what we have. But instead it's more

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.680
<v Speaker 1>so like you follow what we say instead of winning

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.840
<v Speaker 1>your own body and separation from the church. Which is

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 1>interesting because almost every cult I look up kind of

0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>was like about God as we know him, Like even

0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.600
<v Speaker 1>Waco is like an offset of seventy adventice people. What

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.400
<v Speaker 1>they do, what some of these cults do is they go, hey,

0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys, like Jesus, well you know what I know

0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:32.520
<v Speaker 1>the guy and they're like, do you Broy Like I'm

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:35.079
<v Speaker 1>like me him are close. I talked to him every week.

0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean I could tell you what he tells me.

0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.120
<v Speaker 1>And they're like please, and they're like boom. Look it's

0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.480
<v Speaker 1>like it's you know what it is. They can't be

0:11:42.520 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>a God, but they can be the God the guy.

0:11:45.160 --> 0:11:49.360
<v Speaker 1>But between them and God and then which is I

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>don't want to say this, but like a reverend, a priest,

0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 1>someone who teaches scripture, but they but these cult leaders,

0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.200
<v Speaker 1>they feel like, no, no, I'm not just teaching scripture.

0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.200
<v Speaker 1>I am him persona. They're like God came to me,

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Like I mean any black church I've ever been to,

0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Like you know what God taught me is one. It's

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>like damn he was talking to you too. Like ship,

0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean this ship is real. But um, I'm gonna

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.000
<v Speaker 1>kick it off this week and start a little heavy,

0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:19.880
<v Speaker 1>please heavy heavy, like the first day of a period.

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:25.840
<v Speaker 1>Please heavy. A lot of cults. So a lot of

0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 1>cults that um, we I feel like we hear about

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.920
<v Speaker 1>or like we're watching on fucking Netflix or whatever. It's

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.720
<v Speaker 1>always someone dying, right, Like it's always some weird as

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.559
<v Speaker 1>suicide and this one was super interesting to me. I

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:41.880
<v Speaker 1>picked my favorite to suicide, so Heaven's Gate. Some of

0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>you may have heard of it, some of you may not.

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Marshall Apple White and Bonnie Nettles, do they sound like

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>they're in a cult? Yes. In the seventies they were

0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a cult that had come a complicated belief set involving

0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>alien spaceships and recycling of planet Earth. Interesting enough, kind

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>of like scientology. But anyway. After Bonnie died in eighty five,

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>he took the group to further extremes In nineties seven,

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>and he began claiming that a spacecraft was following the

0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 1>hail Pop comet and it would carry the Heaven's Gate

0:13:12.280 --> 0:13:15.320
<v Speaker 1>members to the next level of existence. While renting a

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>home in San Diego, him and thirty eight followers died

0:13:19.120 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 1>by suicide by taking It's called Pheno bar Biddle fame

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.520
<v Speaker 1>of Barbiddle mixed with apple sauce. Something weird about this

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:29.560
<v Speaker 1>cauld They all wore the same uniform and Nike shoes,

0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and they had five dollars and seventy five cents in

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>their pocket. I tried to find why they had that

0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:36.560
<v Speaker 1>amount of money, and nothing was consistent, so I didn't

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>want to add it to for fact's sake. However, Wait,

0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>they all had the same amount of money in their pockets,

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:45.400
<v Speaker 1>exactly five dollars seventy five cents, and it doesn't there's

0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 1>nothing consistent as to why it's that amount. Um. But

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the Heaven's Gate website still exists. It's maintained by two

0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.080
<v Speaker 1>of the followers originally. What's interesting about it is the

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:55.600
<v Speaker 1>cult promise that members wouldn't have to die to ascend

0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to a higher plane. However, according to the BBC, members

0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:05.400
<v Speaker 1>were um told that they'd be I'm sorry. Members were

0:14:05.480 --> 0:14:08.760
<v Speaker 1>told they be able to exit their containers a k

0:14:08.960 --> 0:14:12.040
<v Speaker 1>their bodies without resorting to suicide. They hope to be

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>beamed up into space, taking their bodies with them into

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:18.280
<v Speaker 1>the Next Level, as members called their version of the afterlife.

0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.440
<v Speaker 1>In the eighties, when the Bonnie died of cancer and

0:14:21.440 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 1>when he amended the teachings, he was basically saying, they'll

0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.040
<v Speaker 1>be given a new body, um, and so that's how

0:14:27.080 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>he kind of got them to do the suicide. The

0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>other weird thing about this one the next level was

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.840
<v Speaker 1>a place without gender, and that led to castration. Him

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>and members underwent the procedure, and they to help ensure

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they remain celibate for purity. And uh, here's what's interesting.

0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Apple White who was fired. That's the guy who was

0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.080
<v Speaker 1>like made everybody killed themselves. He was fired as a

0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 1>music professor at a University of St. Thomas, Okay in

0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the seventies after they learned he had sex with a

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>male student student. So he went to go seek a

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:08.640
<v Speaker 1>cure for his homosexual urges. He wanted to find a

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>way to have a platonic relationship where he could develop

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:16.120
<v Speaker 1>his full potential without sexual entanglements. Second time I've heard

0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:21.000
<v Speaker 1>that word this month. Castration, he believed would make it easier. Ultimately,

0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>the group insulted a strict no sex, no human level relationships,

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 1>no socializing rule. What's up with these cults that say

0:15:31.240 --> 0:15:33.560
<v Speaker 1>no sex? Well, it's where some of them are either

0:15:33.600 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>no sex or funk everyone, right, It's either or or.

0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Some of these cults what they do is they go

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:42.760
<v Speaker 1>no sex except for me the leader. Ye like Waco

0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Like Waco Like yeah, Like it's it's just like they're

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.560
<v Speaker 1>the centralized figures. Waco And I know that I just

0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:53.000
<v Speaker 1>asked you briefly the names of yours, but I didn't

0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:54.880
<v Speaker 1>want to cover the ones from Netflix because I feel

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.120
<v Speaker 1>like those are the ones have been so publicized. Waco,

0:15:57.200 --> 0:15:59.800
<v Speaker 1>like seventy something people died. You guys probably saw it.

0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:02.560
<v Speaker 1>If you have a great documentary documentary where only they

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>could suck that leader and then the raj Nishe's from

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Wild Wild Country, also amazing documentary. They were sucking on

0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the streets, they were fucking everywhere. They had a free everywhere.

0:16:14.120 --> 0:16:16.880
<v Speaker 1>So it's like, I mean, if I had between cults,

0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna pick like the cults me too. Yeah, call

0:16:21.480 --> 0:16:23.240
<v Speaker 1>me crazy, but I'm not really into like, cut my

0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:27.720
<v Speaker 1>dick off for god cults. Do you want to be

0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.680
<v Speaker 1>an alien and give us your dick? Yeah? I do? Yeah?

0:16:30.800 --> 0:16:33.920

0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.120
<v Speaker 1>have a new body? Will that new container have? Everybody

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:40.800
<v Speaker 1>want to know where they put the dicks? Though I'm

0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>looking for him, I'm just saying I want to know, like,

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 1>once you cut one off, where's the guy does the

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:49.520
<v Speaker 1>does the leader keep him in a drawer like my

0:16:49.560 --> 0:16:53.560
<v Speaker 1>mom used to keep my baby teeth. And he's like,

0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I'll whip this ship out and send it to your

0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:57.560
<v Speaker 1>old fucking job. If you don't get in line. Dude.

0:16:57.760 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>What did they used to call the guy in a

0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.360
<v Speaker 1>not it? Is it in cell? No? What's the word?

0:17:04.200 --> 0:17:06.800
<v Speaker 1>What when your dick is cut off? And they were,

0:17:06.840 --> 0:17:09.520
<v Speaker 1>they would call him that on Game of Thrones. Oh,

0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't watch The Game of Thrones

0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.840
<v Speaker 1>is too much? What are you a person? What the

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:20.879
<v Speaker 1>fund is wrong? I'll join here? So Heaven's Gate. I

0:17:20.920 --> 0:17:23.520
<v Speaker 1>remember that growing up. I remember that the leader apple

0:17:23.560 --> 0:17:27.879
<v Speaker 1>Bomb is Apple Bomb or Applebeam Apple Gate. I remember

0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:33.879
<v Speaker 1>you saw his look in his eyes, apple boy, he

0:17:34.000 --> 0:17:38.240
<v Speaker 1>had such a glaze over his eyes. He looks so crazy.

0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.239
<v Speaker 1>Look at the kind of guy that doesn't blink. Look

0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.040
<v Speaker 1>at that too, Like he looked crazy. Eunick, that's what

0:17:43.080 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>it's called. Yeah, And I remember watching the CNN show

0:17:49.760 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 1>a camera going into like the bunk beds and showing

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:55.879
<v Speaker 1>all their Nike sneakers creeping up from the bottom of

0:17:55.880 --> 0:17:59.639
<v Speaker 1>the blanket. What's up with the Nike ship? Like there's

0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>nothing consistent. Like I've been trying my best, like to

0:18:03.119 --> 0:18:06.400
<v Speaker 1>not speculate the facts, and I really could not find

0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:10.960
<v Speaker 1>something consistent. Maybe they went to like Ross and got

0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.720
<v Speaker 1>a like a lot on a deal. I mean, maybe

0:18:13.760 --> 0:18:16.000
<v Speaker 1>someone from Nike was in the call and he was

0:18:16.080 --> 0:18:20.159
<v Speaker 1>like and he's like, I got a hook up. The

0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:26.000
<v Speaker 1>Nike decade was the name of the shoe. Um it

0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 1>says nothing. It just says there was a story of

0:18:28.880 --> 0:18:32.120
<v Speaker 1>a Nike employee that sold the shoes to Heaven's Gate

0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:36.439
<v Speaker 1>before the suicide. Um. But like yeah, they're not really

0:18:36.520 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>saying like why, but sneaker heads are collecting the shoe

0:18:40.880 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 1>because of it. Really yep. It says that the shoes

0:18:44.920 --> 0:18:47.560
<v Speaker 1>were worn by the cultists and like after it happened,

0:18:47.560 --> 0:18:51.080
<v Speaker 1>like that shoe basically became like an item, a cult

0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:59.639
<v Speaker 1>collector's item. Oh my god, I feel you know, I

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.960
<v Speaker 1>think help they cow manipulated. These people are think about that,

0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:06.760
<v Speaker 1>like me and you or anybody really you ever like

0:19:07.080 --> 0:19:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you ever like go to like a you're trying to

0:19:08.800 --> 0:19:10.960
<v Speaker 1>buy a car, or you're or even we're talking last

0:19:10.960 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 1>time about like properties and stuff like that, and you

0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:15.399
<v Speaker 1>know someone's trying to pull something over you and you

0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:19.480
<v Speaker 1>can sense it. Well, here's the thing. When you're feeling

0:19:19.600 --> 0:19:22.359
<v Speaker 1>very lost, I think, or you don't feel like you

0:19:22.400 --> 0:19:25.480
<v Speaker 1>have a sense of home, Like for example, I was

0:19:25.520 --> 0:19:27.920
<v Speaker 1>actually thinking because when I read the words social movement

0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the only thing I could think of that I'm a

0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:33.600
<v Speaker 1>part of his Black Lives Matter, right, And I was

0:19:33.640 --> 0:19:37.280
<v Speaker 1>thinking to myself, like, this is extreme. But what if

0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 1>someone was like, Yo, you can live on a compound

0:19:39.840 --> 0:19:42.439
<v Speaker 1>where it's only black people. We're all going to support

0:19:42.520 --> 0:19:45.920
<v Speaker 1>each other. The food will be tasty, the music will

0:19:45.960 --> 0:19:49.199
<v Speaker 1>be great. Like you come here, you're gonna feel like

0:19:49.280 --> 0:19:52.120
<v Speaker 1>your home. There's gonna be no racism. You're not gonna

0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>have to worry about it. We're gonna have our own stores,

0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:58.639
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna make our own community. Join it. Would I

0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:02.240
<v Speaker 1>be like, oh, that's sounds terrible. Or if I was

0:20:02.359 --> 0:20:06.840
<v Speaker 1>soup feeling super oppressed, if I felt like society hated

0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:09.119
<v Speaker 1>me for my black List and in blackness and I

0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:13.159
<v Speaker 1>had no sense of community, what I do that cult?

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Lucky for me, I do feel a sense of community.

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Lucky for me, I do feel empowerment through my blackness.

0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:23.400
<v Speaker 1>But if I did it, could I join that cult? Right?

0:20:23.840 --> 0:20:27.440
<v Speaker 1>Because me saying that right now, it's like, oh, well,

0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:30.359
<v Speaker 1>we're moving to Jamaica. Like it's sounds okay, you know

0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:32.800
<v Speaker 1>what I mean? So I feel like they've got to

0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>be selling the dream. And what if you're already like

0:20:34.560 --> 0:20:38.720
<v Speaker 1>a believer of God, right you know? You know. I

0:20:38.760 --> 0:20:41.080
<v Speaker 1>was talking to buddy, but we're driving by the Scientology

0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:43.359
<v Speaker 1>building one time and I was like, man, how do

0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>they I don't get it. I know it sounds ignorant

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.600
<v Speaker 1>for me, but like or anybody, like, why are they

0:20:48.680 --> 0:20:50.960
<v Speaker 1>doing this? And he looked at me and he said,

0:20:51.640 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>because you don't have to, because everything's laid out for you.

0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:57.480
<v Speaker 1>What do you mean? Like, there's some people that are

0:20:57.520 --> 0:20:59.399
<v Speaker 1>like have real worries like where am I to go

0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:01.159
<v Speaker 1>when I die? Where am I going to meet my

0:21:01.240 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>next Where am I gonna meet my wife? Where? How

0:21:03.280 --> 0:21:04.679
<v Speaker 1>am I going to raise my kids? Where am I

0:21:04.680 --> 0:21:06.879
<v Speaker 1>going to live? What am I gonna do? And then

0:21:07.000 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 1>and then someone says, I got it all figured out.

0:21:10.200 --> 0:21:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Your wife or husband's here. This is what you wear,

0:21:13.400 --> 0:21:15.439
<v Speaker 1>this is where you hang out. These are all your friends,

0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:17.520
<v Speaker 1>this is what you listen to too. You don't know

0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:22.120
<v Speaker 1>what to do with it. Your isolated or like you've

0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:25.359
<v Speaker 1>had an addiction. You feel lost. And then somebody in

0:21:25.359 --> 0:21:28.160
<v Speaker 1>a robe with Nike sneakers and hasn't blinked in two

0:21:28.200 --> 0:21:31.160
<v Speaker 1>weeks goes, why I'll help you, and they're like, Okay,

0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you know. Oh my god, dude, they probably these probably

0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:39.120
<v Speaker 1>these mothers. Probably that's everybody coming in here too late.

0:21:39.359 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 1>You already ain't doing too well ship dude. When speaking

0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:45.280
<v Speaker 1>of eye hoop, when I drove by an eyehopped, uh

0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:48.920
<v Speaker 1>actually yesterday and they're doing outdoor dining in l A

0:21:49.000 --> 0:21:50.359
<v Speaker 1>and they were eating in a parking lot of an

0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:52.320
<v Speaker 1>eye hoop at that point, just eat at home. Are

0:21:52.359 --> 0:21:56.240
<v Speaker 1>you fucking kidding me? What are you doing ie hooped

0:21:56.240 --> 0:22:00.199
<v Speaker 1>parking lot? No? I don't mean like we just got

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:02.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of pancakes and some star foam boxes that

0:22:02.600 --> 0:22:05.719
<v Speaker 1>we ate on, like on the current. They had like

0:22:05.840 --> 0:22:09.200
<v Speaker 1>seating outside with the tent, and there's people out there

0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:12.199
<v Speaker 1>eating in the parking lot of an eyehop. I'm like,

0:22:12.520 --> 0:22:17.520
<v Speaker 1>take it home, eat it in your car. I'm disgusting. Like,

0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:22.159
<v Speaker 1>I'm like a hoop is just like at least let

0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:24.720
<v Speaker 1>me eat some luxurious with some plants around or something

0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:28.399
<v Speaker 1>the fucking strip mall parking lot. Imagine you're like eating

0:22:28.560 --> 0:22:30.840
<v Speaker 1>in a parking lot of an eye hoop and then

0:22:30.880 --> 0:22:34.040
<v Speaker 1>you just see like a fucking raccoon eating eating alongside

0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:35.760
<v Speaker 1>you have the same meal, Like, Okay, it's time to

0:22:35.800 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>go oh dude, I wanted to mention something. So I

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:43.400
<v Speaker 1>was reading all about these colds right and all this ship,

0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, Yo, there's some crazy white people

0:22:45.560 --> 0:22:48.520
<v Speaker 1>ship right. And then that made me say, I gotta

0:22:48.560 --> 0:22:55.760
<v Speaker 1>find a black cult. And there's like one, because I

0:22:55.760 --> 0:22:58.440
<v Speaker 1>feel like African Americans have a natural sense of suspicion

0:22:58.440 --> 0:23:02.639
<v Speaker 1>to people that think there's a ship? What makes you

0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:06.040
<v Speaker 1>the ship? Fuck you? They fucking run at every like

0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>like something like Plus, some feel like black people are

0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:11.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna tellone ship gets a little suspect, they're gonna be like,

0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.040
<v Speaker 1>you ain't about to get me, no, you know, and

0:23:14.040 --> 0:23:16.040
<v Speaker 1>they're like one guy's like, I'm more of a easy guy.

0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:18.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really wearing these nights, so I think I'm

0:23:18.400 --> 0:23:23.320
<v Speaker 1>gone these ugly No. There's a if you've ever heard

0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:28.679
<v Speaker 1>of the Black Israelites, they were like dresses or whatever. Um, well,

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:30.760
<v Speaker 1>it's called the Nation of Yahweh and they're like an

0:23:30.760 --> 0:23:34.520
<v Speaker 1>offshoot of them, um and there's like maybe members, but

0:23:35.480 --> 0:23:39.440
<v Speaker 1>it's I'm sorry dying out the lab. These guys basically

0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:42.359
<v Speaker 1>like they're always outside of the subway and they always

0:23:42.359 --> 0:23:44.359
<v Speaker 1>say some ships to me, like you don't need that

0:23:44.400 --> 0:23:46.639
<v Speaker 1>weave in your head, Queen, I'm like, you'll need that

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:50.959
<v Speaker 1>fucking dress. Like, why are you talking about so rude?

0:23:51.560 --> 0:23:54.080
<v Speaker 1>Everyone's like, wow, let's circle around this fucking disc jam.

0:23:57.119 --> 0:24:00.040
<v Speaker 1>I think African American, especially American black people, have a

0:24:00.080 --> 0:24:02.280
<v Speaker 1>sense of like, no, I don't really trust this, dude,

0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.640
<v Speaker 1>Whereas I feel like why people are like on inflamer

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:07.959
<v Speaker 1>buying self infommercials, like oh my god, I have to

0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:11.320
<v Speaker 1>get this thing, you know, like, Okay, relax, Susan, you

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:18.280
<v Speaker 1>don't need this, very very very I forgot about Heaven's Gate, dude,

0:24:18.320 --> 0:24:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I forgot about that one. That one was like a

0:24:20.400 --> 0:24:22.000
<v Speaker 1>wild one, and a lot of people died in that

0:24:22.040 --> 0:24:24.720
<v Speaker 1>fucking community. Where was it again? What Utah? Where was

0:24:24.760 --> 0:24:31.080
<v Speaker 1>it Utah? I don't know. Let me read m. San

0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 1>Diego is where he rented the house. Wow, damn, they

0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>died in San Diego. I mean that's not that that's

0:24:38.320 --> 0:24:40.280
<v Speaker 1>not too bad. No, I just thought of figured it

0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:45.040
<v Speaker 1>would be like some hicktown. Well. My first fact slash

0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:47.679
<v Speaker 1>cult is one that I've never heard of, and I

0:24:47.720 --> 0:24:50.159
<v Speaker 1>don't think you've ever heard of. It's called a remnant followship.

0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Reminant Fellowship is an organization that began in in Memphis, Tennessee,

0:24:55.600 --> 0:25:02.080
<v Speaker 1>as a weight loss program founded by Wo Shambling, a dietitian.

0:25:02.200 --> 0:25:04.960
<v Speaker 1>The program, called Way Down Way as in W E

0:25:05.040 --> 0:25:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I A I g H Workshop, use biblical principles to

0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:12.479
<v Speaker 1>help overweight people regain control their diets and their bodies.

0:25:12.760 --> 0:25:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Way Down Workshops were wildly you widely used by many

0:25:16.200 --> 0:25:21.439
<v Speaker 1>evangelical churches across the country. Shamblin, the woman that ran,

0:25:21.640 --> 0:25:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Gwen Schamblin and and others who believed in these principles

0:25:25.280 --> 0:25:28.480
<v Speaker 1>began a church called the Remnant Fellowship Church in Nashville, Tennessee.

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.840
<v Speaker 1>So their focus is upon strict and complete obedience to

0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:35.720
<v Speaker 1>God in every area. However, that obedience is often defined

0:25:35.760 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 1>as obedience to Gwen ship Shamblin. So basically, listen to

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.280
<v Speaker 1>what I say because I'm listening to to God or

0:25:42.280 --> 0:25:45.720
<v Speaker 1>whoever you believe right uh. To criticize or disagree with

0:25:45.720 --> 0:25:48.239
<v Speaker 1>Shamblin in any area is to be out of the

0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:51.439
<v Speaker 1>will of God under oath. Shamblin stated, to accuse me

0:25:51.560 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 1>of being deceptive is very strong language because I've been

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:56.840
<v Speaker 1>led by God to do this. So many former members

0:25:57.040 --> 0:25:59.520
<v Speaker 1>have been spoken out about the total control Gwen Shamblin

0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:02.560
<v Speaker 1>maintains over their lives of church members. They were not

0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:05.239
<v Speaker 1>allowed to read any material that was not written by her.

0:26:05.680 --> 0:26:09.280
<v Speaker 1>They were not to listen to any music except made

<v Speaker 1>I did it and I had to join a keto face.

0:28:32.000 --> 0:28:35.880
<v Speaker 1>I met a guy out here, and there's a lot

0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:38.480
<v Speaker 1>of these kind of dudes that was so in te keto.

0:28:38.600 --> 0:28:40.640
<v Speaker 1>He was he was making his own jerky and keeping

0:28:40.640 --> 0:28:43.640
<v Speaker 1>in his pockets every time he meets somebody. He was like,

0:28:44.760 --> 0:28:46.680
<v Speaker 1>why are you eating that man? You don't get him.

0:28:46.760 --> 0:28:48.720
<v Speaker 1>You don't know what's in that y Yeah, and he

0:28:48.720 --> 0:28:50.160
<v Speaker 1>would just look people in the im be like I

0:28:50.240 --> 0:28:54.160
<v Speaker 1>only eat eggs, deli meat, and and ground beef. That's it.

0:28:54.360 --> 0:28:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Ye yeah, I've lost this munch pounds. I feel better,

0:28:57.040 --> 0:28:59.200
<v Speaker 1>I look better. I'm like, bro, you're not blinking you

0:28:59.200 --> 0:29:03.600
<v Speaker 1>ever done keto? I I have, but it's unsustainable. I

0:29:03.640 --> 0:29:06.400
<v Speaker 1>can't keep that life up. When I was about to

0:29:06.440 --> 0:29:10.040
<v Speaker 1>pass out at my last job, I remember this guy

0:29:10.080 --> 0:29:11.680
<v Speaker 1>that was heavy on keto and like he had a

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:13.400
<v Speaker 1>bunch of protein paddle over. He just looked like a

0:29:13.440 --> 0:29:16.800
<v Speaker 1>fucking asshole. He was like, yeah during katosis, Now this

0:29:16.840 --> 0:29:19.880
<v Speaker 1>is what he's just like yelling at the streets. I

0:29:19.960 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 1>mat katos as No. But like it's a really weird

0:29:25.200 --> 0:29:28.160
<v Speaker 1>thing when people get like That's why I'm not shocked

0:29:28.160 --> 0:29:30.120
<v Speaker 1>that this could have started off of food, because when

0:29:30.120 --> 0:29:34.600
<v Speaker 1>people have a goal together, oh man, I mean like

0:29:34.680 --> 0:29:36.800
<v Speaker 1>that's why I joined that face group group. I felt

0:29:36.840 --> 0:29:39.400
<v Speaker 1>like I was going to die through katosis and I'm

0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:41.280
<v Speaker 1>watching people be like yeah, I'm throwing up too. I

0:29:41.360 --> 0:29:44.240
<v Speaker 1>was like, damn, I feel you. You're my sister. I

0:29:44.360 --> 0:29:48.080
<v Speaker 1>wonder if there's a CrossFit cult out there. I wasn't

0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:51.280
<v Speaker 1>surprised cross It already. Crossed Already is kind of a

0:29:51.320 --> 0:29:54.600
<v Speaker 1>cult if. I hate when people wear their shirts on vacation.

0:29:54.760 --> 0:29:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Like you know, I cannot tell you how many times

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I've been foreign countries and seeing Americans with Crossfish shirts

0:29:59.160 --> 0:30:03.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, bro, like, kill the funk out wearing Monaco,

0:30:03.600 --> 0:30:07.120
<v Speaker 1>fucking shut up. Oh my god. When I was into Loom, dude,

0:30:07.640 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 1>we saw this guy with a Crossbit shirt and I

0:30:11.160 --> 0:30:16.320
<v Speaker 1>remember thinking, like, we get it. You love America, we

0:30:16.520 --> 0:30:20.760
<v Speaker 1>understand it. So I'm just a bitch like but like

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:22.720
<v Speaker 1>he had no idea. I was trying to be a bit.

0:30:23.240 --> 0:30:24.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like one in the morning, We're at this bar,

0:30:24.920 --> 0:30:26.320
<v Speaker 1>and I just felt I was like, fuck it, let

0:30:26.320 --> 0:30:28.080
<v Speaker 1>me do it, because I kept seeing him over and over.

0:30:28.080 --> 0:30:30.360
<v Speaker 1>Because the ex fact community into Loom was very small

0:30:30.400 --> 0:30:32.959
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning of COVID right April, when nobody was there.

0:30:32.960 --> 0:30:35.080
<v Speaker 1>You count trap in Mexico, I mean, according to what

0:30:35.120 --> 0:30:37.640
<v Speaker 1>we thought. So I started talking to him at the

0:30:37.640 --> 0:30:40.280
<v Speaker 1>bar and I'm like, damn, I've been thinking about getting

0:30:40.280 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 1>across bit too. Like He's like, it's a lifestyle, is

0:30:44.360 --> 0:30:52.800
<v Speaker 1>what it is. And I thought, I was like really.

0:30:52.880 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>He was like, I mean, what's something you love? Remember

0:30:56.040 --> 0:30:59.160
<v Speaker 1>he said that to me, something you do for yourself

0:30:59.200 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 1>that you love because it makes you feel good? And

0:31:02.240 --> 0:31:03.960
<v Speaker 1>what is it? Do you have any sport? And I'm like,

0:31:04.000 --> 0:31:05.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm really trying to think hard. I'm like,

0:31:05.640 --> 0:31:08.360
<v Speaker 1>sucking dick. I don't know. Like He's like, all I

0:31:08.400 --> 0:31:10.400
<v Speaker 1>have is protein powder, I have battle ropes in my house.

0:31:10.560 --> 0:31:13.520
<v Speaker 1>I my girlfriend is a kettle bell. My girlfriend is

0:31:13.640 --> 0:31:18.280
<v Speaker 1>a kettle bell. So then I was like, well, what

0:31:18.320 --> 0:31:20.000
<v Speaker 1>do you what do you do now that you don't

0:31:20.000 --> 0:31:22.320
<v Speaker 1>have a gym? You don't need a gym with CrossFit,

0:31:22.440 --> 0:31:25.280
<v Speaker 1>That's the thing about it. It is a you don't

0:31:25.280 --> 0:31:31.320
<v Speaker 1>need anything. You get box. I'm like flipping over a tire,

0:31:31.360 --> 0:31:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm throwing I'm I'm throwing an axe. I'm hitting a

0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.520
<v Speaker 1>fucking sledgehammer on the grass. Don't you be noticing like

0:31:37.560 --> 0:31:41.320
<v Speaker 1>cross with people be short. Yeah, I feel like it's

0:31:41.320 --> 0:31:45.640
<v Speaker 1>just like Napoleon, like, thank god you're not this way.

0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:49.440
<v Speaker 1>But I don't mean many men that are under five

0:31:49.520 --> 0:31:53.280
<v Speaker 1>ten and don't have this weird complex about themselves. What

0:31:53.360 --> 0:31:59.480
<v Speaker 1>helps me? It helps me stand up. That's well, I've

0:31:59.560 --> 0:32:04.719
<v Speaker 1>seven and a half online, but by seven. But when

0:32:04.760 --> 0:32:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you're a stand up comedian and I can stand in

0:32:06.320 --> 0:32:09.160
<v Speaker 1>front of like a hundred people, five people, thousand people

0:32:09.160 --> 0:32:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and not be nervous and have joke around, you feel

0:32:12.400 --> 0:32:16.320
<v Speaker 1>like you're six ten. You feel like you're I'm on stage.

0:32:16.360 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel good and I don't even stand up. It's

0:32:18.840 --> 0:32:22.280
<v Speaker 1>very empowering and and I have I've been doing a

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:24.560
<v Speaker 1>lot enough where I can walk around and be like

0:32:25.240 --> 0:32:28.240
<v Speaker 1>I could do something you're afraid of. You know, I

0:32:28.280 --> 0:32:30.640
<v Speaker 1>don't care who you are. You could be a legit

0:32:31.200 --> 0:32:33.440
<v Speaker 1>linebacker in the NFL. But I can stand out there

0:32:33.480 --> 0:32:36.040
<v Speaker 1>for forty five minutes and joke around and you can't

0:32:36.560 --> 0:32:40.440
<v Speaker 1>not certainly shame anybody's looks. But when you're attractive and short,

0:32:40.560 --> 0:32:45.560
<v Speaker 1>it helps. Sorry, but like seriously, like you know what

0:32:45.720 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 1>like people like if you regularly look at motherfucker and

0:32:48.280 --> 0:32:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you five seven, like maybe life ankle hand you the best?

0:32:51.840 --> 0:32:56.120
<v Speaker 1>There helps Thank god. I got my hair. Oh thank god, right, dude.

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Imagine if you were like receding, dude, if I was

0:32:59.280 --> 0:33:01.160
<v Speaker 1>receding in there was a cult member that said I'll

0:33:01.160 --> 0:33:03.000
<v Speaker 1>bring your hair back, and everyone around them had hair,

0:33:03.040 --> 0:33:05.600
<v Speaker 1>I would be like, where Bron better join them? Motherfucker.

<v Speaker 1>And every time I look at Lebron's hair, I'm like,

0:33:14.760 --> 0:33:17.600
<v Speaker 1>he's so, you had so much time during quarantine. And

0:33:17.600 --> 0:33:19.560

0:33:19.600 --> 0:33:21.800
<v Speaker 1>shaves it off, he's going to look back at old

0:33:21.800 --> 0:33:25.120
<v Speaker 1>clips and be like, Yo, why did I leave this

0:33:25.280 --> 0:33:29.320
<v Speaker 1>in all? Also, Lebron James, if I must say this,

0:33:29.880 --> 0:33:32.000
<v Speaker 1>when you're a black man, you can shave your head

0:33:32.080 --> 0:33:34.240

<v Speaker 1>somehow decide against this, which there's no way we could.

0:35:23.239 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 1>This woman is holding a groom in a bride's hand.

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:28.759
<v Speaker 1>She's in the middle of them. Her makeup is so

0:35:28.840 --> 0:35:32.520
<v Speaker 1>pasty white, she already looks had. Her hair is so

0:35:32.600 --> 0:35:35.480
<v Speaker 1>high up on her head. She's like it's like like

0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 1>So she literally took she made a die. I don't

0:35:47.560 --> 0:35:48.960
<v Speaker 1>know what the diet is. I was looking up. I

0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.160
<v Speaker 1>couldn't really find too much it about it, but it

0:35:51.280 --> 0:35:54.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, it's really weird. What's the diet? Like I

0:35:54.920 --> 0:35:57.759
<v Speaker 1>want to hear her voice so badly. I need to

0:35:57.800 --> 0:36:03.520
<v Speaker 1>know how high pitched it is. Okay, who's your master?

0:36:03.760 --> 0:36:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Here's the excerpts. We're looking off for that barn, right,

0:36:46.320 --> 0:36:52.240
<v Speaker 1>By Gwen Shampo. How do you after focusing on food

0:36:52.280 --> 0:36:56.320
<v Speaker 1>for so long, how in the world do you start

0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:59.880
<v Speaker 1>focusing on God? I'll tell you what ya stop you

0:37:00.239 --> 0:37:04.399
<v Speaker 1>brand you take that take that cookie out of your

0:37:04.440 --> 0:37:09.680
<v Speaker 1>mouth and look up to God. Okay, that's that's a

0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:13.680
<v Speaker 1>weird one. She's uh and she makes everyone listen listeners

0:37:13.719 --> 0:37:17.040
<v Speaker 1>Son's music. They all are they all you know, they're

0:37:17.080 --> 0:37:20.560
<v Speaker 1>all bought in, man, they're all in. This might be

0:37:20.719 --> 0:37:23.600
<v Speaker 1>this is this might be coming up on my favorite episode. Okay.

0:37:23.680 --> 0:37:29.640
<v Speaker 1>So the second cult that I chose and I thought

0:37:29.719 --> 0:37:33.280
<v Speaker 1>had a really cool thing in there, there's two celebrities

0:37:34.239 --> 0:37:36.640
<v Speaker 1>that were born into this cult as well. This is

0:37:36.640 --> 0:37:41.080
<v Speaker 1>also a popular one. David moses Berg. This is a

0:37:42.120 --> 0:37:45.840
<v Speaker 1>cult called the Children of God and this is a

0:37:45.920 --> 0:37:53.680
<v Speaker 1>Communist Christian offshoot also in California. For so someone so

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:57.040
<v Speaker 1>concerned with moral decay and evolution, and that's a lot

0:37:57.080 --> 0:37:59.520
<v Speaker 1>of them. It's all about the afterlife. He had a

0:37:59.640 --> 0:38:02.520
<v Speaker 1>very sex centric perspective on how to spread the views

0:38:02.560 --> 0:38:08.799
<v Speaker 1>of Jesus through flirty fishing. Basically, he would use young

0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:13.040
<v Speaker 1>women to learn new members by having sex with them.

0:38:13.080 --> 0:38:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Apparently he was opposing anti pedophilia laws and according to

0:38:17.160 --> 0:38:19.920
<v Speaker 1>some of the members, sex with children was not only permitted,

0:38:20.040 --> 0:38:22.640
<v Speaker 1>but it was a divine right. Um. He was a

0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:28.040
<v Speaker 1>master of propaganda, writing, publishing and distributing pamphlets. Uh. He

0:38:28.120 --> 0:38:31.360
<v Speaker 1>had a terrifying book called The Art The Art of

0:38:31.400 --> 0:38:35.759
<v Speaker 1>the Children of God or something and basically discussed his teachings.

0:38:36.040 --> 0:38:39.120
<v Speaker 1>When the group changed his name several times, most recently

0:38:39.160 --> 0:38:43.520
<v Speaker 1>to Family International. It operates in eighty countries, although it

0:38:43.640 --> 0:38:47.280
<v Speaker 1>no longer permits adults between the sex and adults and children.

0:38:47.600 --> 0:38:51.960
<v Speaker 1>Joaquin Phoenix and Rose McGowan were born into this call.

0:38:54.080 --> 0:38:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Which is crazy because I just saw was that who

0:38:56.320 --> 0:39:00.440
<v Speaker 1>saw is that Rose McGowan shaved head was like one

0:39:00.440 --> 0:39:04.200
<v Speaker 1>of the Mexico Did you see here? You did see

0:39:04.200 --> 0:39:05.719
<v Speaker 1>her there? Uh huh. I just didn't know if that

0:39:05.719 --> 0:39:08.880
<v Speaker 1>was her last name. So, um. They were established in

0:39:08.880 --> 0:39:11.120
<v Speaker 1>the late sixties, right, and he was a traveling preacher,

0:39:11.160 --> 0:39:14.040
<v Speaker 1>and they believed in free love and they were you know,

0:39:14.080 --> 0:39:16.680
<v Speaker 1>so they recruited with sex whatever. The flirty fishing is insane.

0:39:16.800 --> 0:39:19.120
<v Speaker 1>But the children, the survivors of it, say the children

0:39:19.200 --> 0:39:23.080
<v Speaker 1>were regularly abused. Um. Some there's a direct quote where

0:39:23.120 --> 0:39:25.120
<v Speaker 1>someone said there was sexual abuse for myself from the

0:39:25.160 --> 0:39:28.120
<v Speaker 1>age of four, not just from my dad who got convicted,

0:39:28.440 --> 0:39:30.920
<v Speaker 1>but from other members of the cult. Some related, some

0:39:30.960 --> 0:39:33.480
<v Speaker 1>were not. Um. I wasn't comfortable to the things being

0:39:33.520 --> 0:39:35.040
<v Speaker 1>done to me, But if I asked a question, I

0:39:35.080 --> 0:39:37.800
<v Speaker 1>got beaten or put on a silence restriction. I was

0:39:37.840 --> 0:39:39.960
<v Speaker 1>punished a lot because I was never able to stop

0:39:40.000 --> 0:39:43.120
<v Speaker 1>asking questions. He died in ninety four, and the cult

0:39:43.200 --> 0:39:46.120
<v Speaker 1>later rebranded and changed his name to Family of Love

0:39:46.200 --> 0:39:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Family International, after it had been labeled a cult and

0:39:48.719 --> 0:39:51.200
<v Speaker 1>investigated by the FBI. They renamed themselves so that they

0:39:51.200 --> 0:39:57.600
<v Speaker 1>could stay around wild many imagine you go on a

0:39:57.719 --> 0:40:00.759
<v Speaker 1>date with somebody and then you go where'd you grow up?

0:40:00.760 --> 0:40:03.279
<v Speaker 1>And they're like, oh, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Oh cool? How

0:40:03.680 --> 0:40:06.640
<v Speaker 1>was that? Like? Not bad? I mean I was. That's

0:40:06.719 --> 0:40:08.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of crazy. I mean I was an occult for

0:40:08.680 --> 0:40:12.799
<v Speaker 1>the first ten years of my life. Like, uh, what

0:40:12.920 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 1>have you seen? So I know I was in a cult? Really? Yeah,

0:40:19.040 --> 0:40:20.759
<v Speaker 1>he's actually a close friend of mine. I did a

0:40:20.800 --> 0:40:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Patreon episode about it a Horrible Decisions because I wanted

0:40:24.200 --> 0:40:28.319
<v Speaker 1>to discuss religion and sex and I'll see if I

0:40:28.320 --> 0:40:29.960
<v Speaker 1>could get him to jump in and like maybe do

0:40:30.000 --> 0:40:31.359
<v Speaker 1>a little something with us. It might be fun when

0:40:31.400 --> 0:40:35.680
<v Speaker 1>we have a Patreon and just discussed that portion. But basically,

0:40:36.320 --> 0:40:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't remember what kind of cults it was. It

0:40:38.640 --> 0:40:41.120
<v Speaker 1>was something to do with God and religion and Christianity.

0:40:41.719 --> 0:40:44.759
<v Speaker 1>But they had to surrender their check, not the entire check,

0:40:44.800 --> 0:40:46.239
<v Speaker 1>but I think his mom gave him most of the

0:40:46.239 --> 0:40:48.880
<v Speaker 1>pay checked up and they made them cut out boobs

0:40:49.600 --> 0:40:53.320
<v Speaker 1>and stuff like that newspaper. Oh sorry, cut off the

0:40:53.320 --> 0:40:54.920
<v Speaker 1>boobs outside of news. I'm sorry, I don't I don't know.

0:40:55.000 --> 0:40:59.239
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. Oh my god, O sorry, I couldn't get

0:40:59.239 --> 0:41:03.080
<v Speaker 1>that out. He was like, not those log tits, no

0:41:05.120 --> 0:41:07.800
<v Speaker 1>cutting tits out of newspapers and clippings, and he's like,

0:41:07.840 --> 0:41:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I never like saw bodies like that, Like we had

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:12.919
<v Speaker 1>no TV. And then he was talking about how you'd

0:41:12.920 --> 0:41:15.440
<v Speaker 1>feel so guilty about masturbating, how once he did it,

0:41:15.480 --> 0:41:17.440
<v Speaker 1>he couldn't stop and then he would have to like

0:41:17.920 --> 0:41:19.440
<v Speaker 1>just ask God if he could do it, and he

0:41:19.440 --> 0:41:21.239
<v Speaker 1>said he'd get so frustrated. He had to do it

0:41:21.280 --> 0:41:23.480
<v Speaker 1>anyway because like he found out what it felt like.

0:41:23.800 --> 0:41:26.279
<v Speaker 1>And then when he got married, he got married super young.

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:28.560
<v Speaker 1>He didn't even kiss his wife till his fucking wedding

0:41:28.640 --> 0:41:32.919
<v Speaker 1>day because the cult like made him keep sanctified. What's

0:41:33.000 --> 0:41:38.799
<v Speaker 1>even more hilarious about this is like his wife and

0:41:38.880 --> 0:41:41.839
<v Speaker 1>him were into like kinky assex and he sucked all

0:41:41.840 --> 0:41:43.799
<v Speaker 1>the time, said like ten times a week. He's like,

0:41:44.520 --> 0:41:48.200
<v Speaker 1>they're like super Yeah, he's like and like he became

0:41:48.239 --> 0:41:51.200
<v Speaker 1>totally normal after that, but yeah, they were weird. Ask

0:41:51.280 --> 0:41:54.680
<v Speaker 1>mother cult. It's funny like he mentioned like they would

0:41:54.760 --> 0:41:57.399
<v Speaker 1>use women as bait for some of to get new

0:41:57.480 --> 0:42:00.920
<v Speaker 1>members for this cult. And also it's like and it

0:42:00.920 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 1>made me think of Jeffrey Epstein. I was like, oh,

0:42:02.640 --> 0:42:06.240
<v Speaker 1>ship like getting young girls to like lure in powerful people.

0:42:07.040 --> 0:42:10.040
<v Speaker 1>But here's the interesting thing. So this guy I'm talking about,

0:42:10.040 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 1>I know him very well. I spent a Christmas with

0:42:11.719 --> 0:42:16.960
<v Speaker 1>his family, his mom. This was before I knew was

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 1>so adorable, so sweet, And the only thing I could

0:42:21.600 --> 0:42:24.759
<v Speaker 1>think after he told me this is like, Okay, she

0:42:24.920 --> 0:42:28.799
<v Speaker 1>was super lost after a divorce or something like. This

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:32.360
<v Speaker 1>was not a woman I took for. I mean, she

0:42:32.560 --> 0:42:35.120
<v Speaker 1>was adorable, super sweet, like you know those type of

0:42:35.120 --> 0:42:36.560
<v Speaker 1>people that have to hug you when you get in

0:42:36.560 --> 0:42:38.719
<v Speaker 1>their house and they're like rubbed army, like you call

0:42:38.840 --> 0:42:42.160
<v Speaker 1>you on something like, she was so sweet and I

0:42:42.239 --> 0:42:45.000
<v Speaker 1>was like, wow, it's not who you would think. It's

0:42:45.000 --> 0:42:47.439
<v Speaker 1>those people that are so nice and impressional they get

0:42:47.440 --> 0:42:52.600
<v Speaker 1>sucked in. Mm hmm yeah. I mean it's funny, how

0:42:52.680 --> 0:42:56.719
<v Speaker 1>like not funny, but it's actually really terrible, how you

0:42:56.800 --> 0:43:01.279
<v Speaker 1>know how sex is this thing that can really put

0:43:01.360 --> 0:43:03.440
<v Speaker 1>you in a trance for certain people in these cults,

0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:06.120
<v Speaker 1>it's just like being lured in and you're just like,

0:43:06.160 --> 0:43:08.920

<v Speaker 1>really was just he to this day. No one needs

0:43:59.680 --> 0:44:03.960
<v Speaker 1>my I know, like him. And he absolutely loved table

0:44:04.040 --> 0:44:09.960
<v Speaker 1>tennis and I acted like I did too, And I

0:44:10.000 --> 0:44:13.200
<v Speaker 1>swear to you, Eddie, I mean we would watch you

0:44:13.400 --> 0:44:15.719
<v Speaker 1>tube is NonStop to the point where I was like

0:44:16.160 --> 0:44:18.120
<v Speaker 1>ordering him stuff that he needs, like I would do

0:44:18.160 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 1>anything for him to fuck me. He watched so much

0:44:20.560 --> 0:44:23.120
<v Speaker 1>table tennis and we were done. He was like, yeah,

0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:25.120
<v Speaker 1>let's try a new clip. Did and I'm like yo,

0:44:25.280 --> 0:44:27.719
<v Speaker 1>and I would just lie and I can you use

0:44:27.800 --> 0:44:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the paddle on me? Your ball swung at me? Yeah?

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:39.560
<v Speaker 1>Can we ping dong? It's pretty It's pretty crazy, like

0:44:39.840 --> 0:44:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the things we do, especially if we're in a certain

0:44:42.640 --> 0:44:44.520
<v Speaker 1>point of our lives where you want it the most.

0:44:45.000 --> 0:44:49.560
<v Speaker 1>And these cults and these play organizations and even someone

0:44:49.600 --> 0:44:53.120
<v Speaker 1>like Jeffrey Epstein, they prey on that for for something

0:44:53.280 --> 0:44:56.279
<v Speaker 1>like these leaders want something from you, whether it's your

0:44:56.320 --> 0:45:00.640
<v Speaker 1>money or power, or they want you they just want

0:45:00.640 --> 0:45:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to feel like the center of the universe. And whether

0:45:03.280 --> 0:45:06.839
<v Speaker 1>jever Epstein is like obviously using young women to lure

0:45:06.880 --> 0:45:10.200
<v Speaker 1>these guys who are probably living seclusion, who are like

0:45:10.400 --> 0:45:14.200
<v Speaker 1>the Prince, Prince Andrew or Bill Clinton or whatever, who

0:45:14.880 --> 0:45:17.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, can't just go on sleep with someone randomly

0:45:17.400 --> 0:45:19.360
<v Speaker 1>if they need to. This guy hooks them up and

0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:22.960
<v Speaker 1>in exchange, he gets power over these people. It's pretty

0:45:23.040 --> 0:45:28.399
<v Speaker 1>it's fucking wild. They're so like there, I guess it's

0:45:28.440 --> 0:45:30.480
<v Speaker 1>like I hate to say this because I know this

0:45:30.520 --> 0:45:34.239
<v Speaker 1>can't be true, but I feel like there's this sadistic

0:45:34.320 --> 0:45:37.680
<v Speaker 1>thing of like I can buy whatever I want. What's next,

0:45:38.320 --> 0:45:39.959
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? And any girl will fuck

0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:42.960
<v Speaker 1>me like what could be next? And I I feel

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:45.920
<v Speaker 1>like there's there has to be something adjacent with wealth

0:45:45.960 --> 0:45:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and pedophilia for people. Yeah, there's people that are like

0:45:50.239 --> 0:45:52.520
<v Speaker 1>I can get a Ferrari delivered to me right now,

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:56.359
<v Speaker 1>fulfilled cash. But that doesn't But that isn't risky enough.

0:45:56.400 --> 0:45:59.160
<v Speaker 1>I want to do this to somebody. It's terrible. I mean,

0:45:59.239 --> 0:46:04.680
<v Speaker 1>that'sn't terrible. Commoditizes people, commoditizes children and said terrible. Fuck.

0:46:04.880 --> 0:46:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I wonder how much pedavilia is related to that. And

0:46:08.760 --> 0:46:11.799
<v Speaker 1>some of these cults are just like they just they

0:46:11.840 --> 0:46:14.759
<v Speaker 1>just know you'll say yes, and they pray and they

0:46:14.800 --> 0:46:17.560
<v Speaker 1>fucking use you as just ponds and their game of chess.

0:46:17.640 --> 0:46:20.040
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it's funny, like when you said about

0:46:21.320 --> 0:46:26.120
<v Speaker 1>using sex to lure new members is just like blurty

0:46:26.160 --> 0:46:31.280
<v Speaker 1>fishing for Jesus. It's like, what have you ever watched

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:35.920
<v Speaker 1>Jesus Camp? No, if anyone can watch this, it's not

0:46:35.960 --> 0:46:42.200
<v Speaker 1>on Netflix anymore. But it was about not orthodox evangel yeah,

0:46:42.239 --> 0:46:47.680
<v Speaker 1>evangelical Christians or whatever. Evangelical evangelical think you're gonna get

0:46:47.719 --> 0:46:50.440
<v Speaker 1>it out um. And it starts off with these kids

0:46:50.520 --> 0:46:54.040
<v Speaker 1>hold like speaking in tongues and they talked to this

0:46:54.080 --> 0:46:57.919
<v Speaker 1>little girl and they're like just so brainwashed this little girl.

0:46:58.640 --> 0:47:00.520
<v Speaker 1>They're like, how could you at what? They say? What

0:47:00.560 --> 0:47:01.600
<v Speaker 1>do you want to be when you grow up? She

0:47:01.640 --> 0:47:05.040
<v Speaker 1>was like, um, I want to do nails because you

0:47:05.040 --> 0:47:08.720
<v Speaker 1>could get people very relaxed. You know, you get them relaxed,

0:47:08.760 --> 0:47:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you do their nails, and it's like then you just

0:47:10.880 --> 0:47:13.759
<v Speaker 1>start telling them about the Lord. And I was like,

0:47:14.000 --> 0:47:18.319
<v Speaker 1>holy sh it, this little girl literally just say like,

0:47:18.360 --> 0:47:20.160
<v Speaker 1>you get them relaxed, you get them in a place

0:47:20.200 --> 0:47:22.359
<v Speaker 1>where you could talk to them and hold them as

0:47:22.400 --> 0:47:24.719
<v Speaker 1>a kid. To know that you've been watching these people

0:47:24.760 --> 0:47:28.040
<v Speaker 1>do dish it yeah, like I always funny, kind of

0:47:28.040 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 1>odd when someone try sneaked in religion with random thing.

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:31.520
<v Speaker 1>You ever been in an uber and some guys you

0:47:31.520 --> 0:47:32.960
<v Speaker 1>want put on some music? Yeah, sure, it puts on

0:47:32.960 --> 0:47:40.399
<v Speaker 1>some Christian rock, like okay, nice try all right once

0:47:40.480 --> 0:47:43.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm Jewish. One star of David. Okay, all that was good.

0:47:43.840 --> 0:47:50.000
<v Speaker 1>That's good, thank you, thank you. Okay. So this is

0:47:50.000 --> 0:47:51.799
<v Speaker 1>not actually a cult. I'm gonna do for my second fact.

0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:57.760
<v Speaker 1>This is actually a tactic cults use called love love bombing.

0:47:58.920 --> 0:48:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Once people have been created by cult, they are often

0:48:01.280 --> 0:48:04.279
<v Speaker 1>quote unquote love bombed. The odd phrase is commonly used

0:48:04.320 --> 0:48:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to describe the ways in which someone with low self

0:48:06.800 --> 0:48:11.160
<v Speaker 1>esteem is consistently flattered, complimented, and seduced in order to

0:48:11.160 --> 0:48:14.640
<v Speaker 1>train their brain to associate the cult with love and acceptance.

0:48:15.160 --> 0:48:18.960
<v Speaker 1>Love Bombing is coordinated effort, usually under the direction of leadership,

0:48:19.040 --> 0:48:23.960
<v Speaker 1>that involves long term members, flooding recruits and newer members

0:48:24.200 --> 0:48:28.800
<v Speaker 1>with flattery, verbal seduction, affectionate but usually non sexual touching,

0:48:29.040 --> 0:48:33.400
<v Speaker 1>and lots of attention to their every remark. Love Bombing,

0:48:33.640 --> 0:48:37.759
<v Speaker 1>or the offer of instant companionship, is as deceptive ploy

0:48:37.960 --> 0:48:43.040
<v Speaker 1>accounting for many successful recruiment drives. The expression has also

0:48:43.120 --> 0:48:46.640
<v Speaker 1>been used to describe the tactics used by pimps to

0:48:46.680 --> 0:48:51.879
<v Speaker 1>control their victims. So it's crazy, it's like, God, they

0:48:51.880 --> 0:48:53.799
<v Speaker 1>talk about that ship with pimps. I've heard this before.

0:48:53.840 --> 0:48:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I've I've addressed it briefly with like sex trafficking. Yeah.

0:48:58.400 --> 0:49:01.719
<v Speaker 1>So let's just say you're someone who maybe come from

0:49:01.719 --> 0:49:05.600
<v Speaker 1>a broken home, maybe you moved, maybe your parents, uh,

0:49:05.840 --> 0:49:08.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, the abandoned you. And you're like plan of

0:49:08.360 --> 0:49:11.640
<v Speaker 1>loss in this world. And you find this person who says,

0:49:12.680 --> 0:49:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, has anyone said you're beautiful? And you're like,

0:49:14.760 --> 0:49:16.960
<v Speaker 1>no is anyone? You know? You shoot, you shoot the

0:49:16.960 --> 0:49:19.919
<v Speaker 1>ship and they laugh at everything you every joke you make.

0:49:20.120 --> 0:49:22.480
<v Speaker 1>They just think you're amazing, and they introduce you to

0:49:22.520 --> 0:49:26.000
<v Speaker 1>another group of people and like this is wheezy, and

0:49:26.080 --> 0:49:29.960
<v Speaker 1>I was like, hey, wheezy, I love your skin. Oh

0:49:30.000 --> 0:49:32.440
<v Speaker 1>my god, where did you get that shirt? And you

0:49:32.520 --> 0:49:35.200

<v Speaker 1>and you've the first time you've had someone all about

0:50:06.840 --> 0:50:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you and as strangers, and you just feel like you're

0:50:09.960 --> 0:50:11.920

0:50:11.920 --> 0:50:14.839

0:50:22.440 --> 0:50:25.640
<v Speaker 1>They're cooking, they're cleaning, they're doing something to contribute to

0:50:25.680 --> 0:50:30.040
<v Speaker 1>that community in exchange for room and board generally. Yeah,

0:50:30.040 --> 0:50:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's almost like an internship. You almost feel like, oh,

0:50:32.239 --> 0:50:34.200
<v Speaker 1>this is going towards the greater thing, This is going

0:50:34.239 --> 0:50:38.040
<v Speaker 1>towards me being up in this ladder in this group organization.

0:50:38.160 --> 0:50:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, Eddie, I don't know how I forget.

0:50:42.040 --> 0:50:44.680
<v Speaker 1>When I was into Loom, we found people that it

0:50:44.719 --> 0:50:47.120
<v Speaker 1>were in a call. It was a sex call, and

0:50:47.200 --> 0:50:49.920
<v Speaker 1>the girl told us she found out because they were

0:50:49.960 --> 0:50:53.840
<v Speaker 1>starting her with like bottom jobs. So she's like, she

0:50:53.920 --> 0:50:59.680
<v Speaker 1>was like, check, she was getting banged the most. Okay, okay, go,

0:51:00.320 --> 0:51:03.920
<v Speaker 1>she's a model, Russian model, came from Miami. These rich

0:51:03.960 --> 0:51:06.080
<v Speaker 1>guys were like, yo, come to Saloom, will take care

0:51:06.080 --> 0:51:08.239
<v Speaker 1>of everything, like but you know, they kind of let

0:51:08.360 --> 0:51:11.960
<v Speaker 1>her to believe she'd be fucking right. So she's like,

0:51:12.000 --> 0:51:15.920
<v Speaker 1>I got here, gorgeous girls, the hotels, gorgeous, gorgeous hotel.

0:51:16.120 --> 0:51:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Can I say the name? Fucking Amon Salas and Saloom.

0:51:19.040 --> 0:51:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Now they have a large property and at the time

0:51:21.120 --> 0:51:23.919
<v Speaker 1>this zone of hotels was completely empty, so people would

0:51:23.920 --> 0:51:26.279
<v Speaker 1>book out twenty rooms. So she said she went to

0:51:26.280 --> 0:51:28.000
<v Speaker 1>a month solid. She was like, there were sex parties

0:51:28.000 --> 0:51:30.680
<v Speaker 1>at night. There was drugs. It was fun. But what

0:51:30.800 --> 0:51:32.920
<v Speaker 1>I started to realize, she said, once it was it

0:51:33.000 --> 0:51:35.440
<v Speaker 1>became a cult was when I had to wake up

0:51:35.480 --> 0:51:38.520
<v Speaker 1>and do certain jobs. She was like, Now, I started

0:51:38.520 --> 0:51:41.000
<v Speaker 1>by like cleaning clothes for everybody, and she was like,

0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and I didn't think it was a big deal because

0:51:42.560 --> 0:51:44.799
<v Speaker 1>like everything was covered. And then she said, a new

0:51:44.880 --> 0:51:48.600
<v Speaker 1>girl came in, and then I started just like folding

0:51:48.640 --> 0:51:50.600
<v Speaker 1>the clothes. She'd bring them from the laundromat. And then

0:51:50.600 --> 0:51:52.120
<v Speaker 1>I would just do stuff in the house. I didn't

0:51:52.160 --> 0:51:54.680
<v Speaker 1>have to be outside. And then another girl came. Then

0:51:54.719 --> 0:51:57.960
<v Speaker 1>she started doing gros frees, like they took her jobs

0:51:57.960 --> 0:51:59.759
<v Speaker 1>and put it down to someone else. And she went

0:51:59.840 --> 0:52:02.160
<v Speaker 1>up a fucking ladder and she was like, once I

0:52:02.320 --> 0:52:03.960
<v Speaker 1>realized it was a colt, I had to get the

0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:07.040
<v Speaker 1>funk out of there. I'm like, where you imagine. Imagine

0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:10.600
<v Speaker 1>you're like a model type woman and you're you're sex

0:52:10.680 --> 0:52:13.240
<v Speaker 1>hungry and you're getting dped by people in an orgy

0:52:13.640 --> 0:52:16.640
<v Speaker 1>and then and then an hour later you're mopping a floor.

0:52:16.800 --> 0:52:20.480
<v Speaker 1>That's not right, yo, But they're like, yo, bitch, humble

0:52:20.520 --> 0:52:22.920
<v Speaker 1>yourself because you could be out of here. Mind you

0:52:23.440 --> 0:52:26.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, I'm at the party. I'm telling the girl

0:52:26.200 --> 0:52:28.480
<v Speaker 1>next to me, right, she's like the only other black

0:52:28.560 --> 0:52:31.080
<v Speaker 1>person I met there. I was like this, she said.

0:52:31.120 --> 0:52:34.080
<v Speaker 1>She's like, ye I heard here, and we're just getting

0:52:34.239 --> 0:52:37.560
<v Speaker 1>leaning and listening. Now we're trying to because mind you,

0:52:37.560 --> 0:52:40.560
<v Speaker 1>the XPAC community was small, right, So I'm like, yo,

0:52:40.719 --> 0:52:42.520
<v Speaker 1>who's in the cult? And she's like, okay, well I

0:52:42.560 --> 0:52:46.239
<v Speaker 1>can't point directly, but three o'clock bread dressed. I was like, Oh,

0:52:47.239 --> 0:52:50.640
<v Speaker 1>that's like it's like it's like get out the next

0:52:50.680 --> 0:52:53.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're like mopping the floor. While some guys like,

0:52:53.200 --> 0:52:56.239
<v Speaker 1>right to bang you. What happened to Wheezy? I don't

0:52:56.280 --> 0:53:00.399
<v Speaker 1>know that. Like they were probably like, you're so hot,

0:53:00.560 --> 0:53:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you gotta come so beautiful. Oh my go look at

0:53:03.719 --> 0:53:05.480
<v Speaker 1>her hair, look at her skin. Oh my god, you're

0:53:05.520 --> 0:53:09.200
<v Speaker 1>so funny, you're so smart to the beach, come hang

0:53:09.239 --> 0:53:10.839
<v Speaker 1>out with us. You want to do some blow off

0:53:10.880 --> 0:53:15.200
<v Speaker 1>my tit? Wow boom love's love bombing. And you know what,

0:53:16.040 --> 0:53:18.319
<v Speaker 1>I've never dealt or talk to anyone who has been

0:53:18.760 --> 0:53:21.040
<v Speaker 1>involved in sex work. When it comes to the pampa,

0:53:21.080 --> 0:53:24.320
<v Speaker 1>I imagine the same thing. This man or woman or

0:53:24.360 --> 0:53:27.239
<v Speaker 1>whoever gives you this love and you feel like they're

0:53:27.239 --> 0:53:29.279
<v Speaker 1>a boyfriend or a partner. And the next thing you know,

0:53:29.280 --> 0:53:30.880
<v Speaker 1>they're asking, can you just do this one thing? I

0:53:30.920 --> 0:53:33.080
<v Speaker 1>need the money just and then next thing you know,

0:53:33.800 --> 0:53:35.600
<v Speaker 1>drugs are involved. I'm not saying that happens all the time,

0:53:35.640 --> 0:53:39.960
<v Speaker 1>but I'm saying the most terrible situations I love bombing

0:53:40.040 --> 0:53:44.160
<v Speaker 1>is when it's it's predatorial. You see, they're missing this

0:53:44.239 --> 0:53:47.240
<v Speaker 1>part of their life, and then you, as someone senior

0:53:47.280 --> 0:53:51.719
<v Speaker 1>to them, you give them that and it's and you

0:53:52.160 --> 0:53:55.160
<v Speaker 1>can manipulate them. Who else has done this? Fun boys

0:53:55.520 --> 0:53:57.520
<v Speaker 1>they love bombing until they sucked me and then they're

0:53:57.520 --> 0:54:01.880
<v Speaker 1>done with me. Um, So beware, we've known this, ladies,

0:54:02.360 --> 0:54:06.000
<v Speaker 1>so from my last fact, and I know we don't

0:54:06.000 --> 0:54:10.760
<v Speaker 1>have a much time, but weird ass cult with another

0:54:10.800 --> 0:54:15.160
<v Speaker 1>suicide thing and it was the biggest in history, the

0:54:15.239 --> 0:54:20.360
<v Speaker 1>People's ten Pole. In nineteen fifty in Indiana, native Jim Jones,

0:54:20.480 --> 0:54:23.080
<v Speaker 1>not the Rapper, he founded a church and he claimed

0:54:23.120 --> 0:54:27.360
<v Speaker 1>to promote socialism and equality. Socialism is basically where everybody

0:54:27.400 --> 0:54:28.840
<v Speaker 1>you know kind of gets the same amount of money,

0:54:28.880 --> 0:54:33.280
<v Speaker 1>et cetera or whatever. So it was a religious element

0:54:33.280 --> 0:54:35.279
<v Speaker 1>of Christianity and initially he was a little more of

0:54:35.320 --> 0:54:40.719
<v Speaker 1>a hustler who faked faith healings by having audience members. Uh,

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:44.279
<v Speaker 1>he would basically have he would like plant and pull

0:54:44.440 --> 0:54:47.680
<v Speaker 1>chicken livers out of their mouths and like say that

0:54:47.760 --> 0:54:50.040
<v Speaker 1>like he was healing them from like some devil. But

0:54:50.080 --> 0:54:52.560
<v Speaker 1>if the year progressed, people heard about it, and he

0:54:52.640 --> 0:54:56.000
<v Speaker 1>demanded more and more followers. So he moves everyone in California.

0:54:56.040 --> 0:54:57.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why they keep doing. This is a

0:54:57.440 --> 0:55:01.320
<v Speaker 1>commune like kind of situation in Redwood Valley. He eventually

0:55:01.320 --> 0:55:05.000
<v Speaker 1>became to believe that there was a nuclear war happening,

0:55:05.200 --> 0:55:08.000
<v Speaker 1>and so he moved his followers again to the South

0:55:08.000 --> 0:55:12.200
<v Speaker 1>American country of Guyana, where he said this would be

0:55:12.239 --> 0:55:14.839
<v Speaker 1>outside of the potential danger zone. So they lived there

0:55:14.880 --> 0:55:18.000
<v Speaker 1>for several years and they called themselves the People's Temple

0:55:18.080 --> 0:55:21.320
<v Speaker 1>Agricultural Project. But after some of the members started speaking out,

0:55:21.680 --> 0:55:24.400
<v Speaker 1>the San Francisco congressman at the time decided to travel

0:55:24.480 --> 0:55:27.880
<v Speaker 1>there to investigate the claims of abuse. His security guards

0:55:27.960 --> 0:55:33.040
<v Speaker 1>opened fire um on the group that came the Congressman's group,

0:55:33.400 --> 0:55:37.560
<v Speaker 1>and he ordered his followers to drink a cyanide laced beverage.

0:55:37.880 --> 0:55:41.799
<v Speaker 1>Interesting only enough, this is where the phrase drinking the

0:55:41.880 --> 0:55:46.960
<v Speaker 1>kool aid original. A total of nine hundred and eighteen

0:55:47.000 --> 0:55:50.400
<v Speaker 1>people died in the incident that was the largest of

0:55:50.480 --> 0:55:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Americans in history until nine eleven. Nine hundred and eighteen

0:55:55.400 --> 0:55:57.800
<v Speaker 1>people fucking died from the ship. Bro, that's a lot.

0:55:58.480 --> 0:56:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Where do they find them in a field? We're like,

0:56:00.520 --> 0:56:02.840
<v Speaker 1>where were they? And they were on their plantation or

0:56:03.239 --> 0:56:06.839
<v Speaker 1>fucking I said plantation because the ship. I started thinking

0:56:06.880 --> 0:56:11.400
<v Speaker 1>his laves, like they're on their compound in uh Guyana. Yeah,

0:56:11.440 --> 0:56:13.320
<v Speaker 1>And so they came down there, and I guess before

0:56:13.360 --> 0:56:15.600
<v Speaker 1>when he shot at everybody, he was like, no, I

0:56:15.640 --> 0:56:17.640
<v Speaker 1>guess we're all going down fun this ship, like the

0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:23.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm not about to catch up. Nine ship is insane, dude,

0:56:23.920 --> 0:56:28.040
<v Speaker 1>mass suicide. Um, I'm curious to know, like what the

0:56:28.120 --> 0:56:30.719
<v Speaker 1>people were led to believe because he forced them to

0:56:30.800 --> 0:56:36.360
<v Speaker 1>drink of it. But um. Also, he claims that the

0:56:36.520 --> 0:56:39.279
<v Speaker 1>reason that they went to Guyana is because there was

0:56:39.320 --> 0:56:41.319
<v Speaker 1>the United States was a racist place. He said the

0:56:41.320 --> 0:56:43.800
<v Speaker 1>temple concluded that Guyana was a place in a black

0:56:43.840 --> 0:56:47.400
<v Speaker 1>country where black members could live in peace, and it

0:56:47.440 --> 0:56:50.279
<v Speaker 1>was the only English speaking country in South America. Now

0:56:50.320 --> 0:56:54.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was y'all gonna be all right here

0:56:54.719 --> 0:56:57.440
<v Speaker 1>until we kill you. Um. But yeah, he it was

0:56:57.520 --> 0:57:02.080
<v Speaker 1>that evening that they like open gunfire. Um, it was

0:57:02.120 --> 0:57:05.279
<v Speaker 1>captured on video by n NBC and one of the

0:57:05.360 --> 0:57:07.880
<v Speaker 1>journalists was killed. And that evening he told everybody to

0:57:07.960 --> 0:57:10.640
<v Speaker 1>drink it and two hundred seventy six of the people,

0:57:10.680 --> 0:57:16.440
<v Speaker 1>which were kids. Oh sick. How do you get to

0:57:16.640 --> 0:57:19.720
<v Speaker 1>nine people to agree with you that way? I mean,

0:57:21.080 --> 0:57:24.400
<v Speaker 1>I can't even get like five people to eat the

0:57:24.480 --> 0:57:26.760
<v Speaker 1>dip I bring to a party, you know what I mean. Like,

0:57:27.680 --> 0:57:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it is honestly a lot of Now his children,

0:57:32.520 --> 0:57:34.200
<v Speaker 1>they have some pictures of them. One of his kids

0:57:34.240 --> 0:57:39.040
<v Speaker 1>is black, Jim W. Jones juniors, Stephen Gandhi Jones, Agnes Jones.

0:57:39.120 --> 0:57:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Like he's got a lot of kids, um. And one

0:57:42.840 --> 0:57:47.320
<v Speaker 1>of the kids I mean Guyanese. Yeah he uh. They

0:57:47.400 --> 0:57:49.680
<v Speaker 1>talk about the tragedy. There's a lot of accounts of

0:57:49.720 --> 0:57:52.960
<v Speaker 1>this online, Like it was forty years I think it's

0:57:52.960 --> 0:57:55.880
<v Speaker 1>been forty two years now since that. But I mean

0:57:55.920 --> 0:57:59.120
<v Speaker 1>it's super interesting. I've heard of Jim Jones, but I

0:57:59.120 --> 0:58:02.840
<v Speaker 1>didn't know it's nine people. That's a lot of people. Man. Yeah,

0:58:04.120 --> 0:58:06.200
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that much either. Can you that was

0:58:06.240 --> 0:58:12.040
<v Speaker 1>the biggest until nine eleven is fucking insane. Dude. Wow,

0:58:12.440 --> 0:58:15.280
<v Speaker 1>and he got them all to go to Guyana with him. Huh.

0:58:15.680 --> 0:58:18.280
<v Speaker 1>The fact that it's called drink the Koolid. By the way,

0:58:18.280 --> 0:58:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the number changes sometimes, like Forbes reported it as three

0:58:21.600 --> 0:58:25.480
<v Speaker 1>four children, one, other sources two. I guess this is

0:58:25.600 --> 0:58:27.880
<v Speaker 1>what everybody thinks of age, but um, just in case,

0:58:28.320 --> 0:58:32.120
<v Speaker 1>try to fact check me. But like, no, I mean,

0:58:32.160 --> 0:58:35.200
<v Speaker 1>I think this is a honestly one of the most

0:58:35.200 --> 0:58:38.400
<v Speaker 1>shocking because I can't believe he got that many people

0:58:38.440 --> 0:58:45.600
<v Speaker 1>to comply. Yeah. It's It's one thing to like move

0:58:45.680 --> 0:58:48.600
<v Speaker 1>people and think, oh, this person is super talented, I'll

0:58:48.600 --> 0:58:50.600
<v Speaker 1>buy what a record that come out with, or I

0:58:50.640 --> 0:58:53.160
<v Speaker 1>am all about whatever this person likes to wear. I

0:58:53.200 --> 0:58:56.120
<v Speaker 1>want to wear it. But to really follow someone in

0:58:56.240 --> 0:59:01.840
<v Speaker 1>every path they take you down, including death, Yeah, it's

0:59:01.880 --> 0:59:04.920
<v Speaker 1>a it's a It's a perfect mix between someone being

0:59:04.960 --> 0:59:09.440
<v Speaker 1>super influential and find someone who's super super impressionable, and

0:59:09.480 --> 0:59:12.760
<v Speaker 1>then they just they they think they're helping each other

0:59:12.960 --> 0:59:16.920
<v Speaker 1>when in fact one is taking badget over. What's interesting

0:59:16.960 --> 0:59:19.840
<v Speaker 1>is someone has spoken out. She She tells The Atlantic

0:59:20.400 --> 0:59:23.439
<v Speaker 1>that she figures like, oh, I'll just go down there

0:59:23.480 --> 0:59:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and if I don't like it. She was nineteen when

0:59:25.000 --> 0:59:27.240
<v Speaker 1>she joined, and she was like, if I don't like it,

0:59:27.360 --> 0:59:29.720
<v Speaker 1>like I can just leave. But she said she was homeless.

0:59:29.720 --> 0:59:33.360
<v Speaker 1>A man came alongside her in a van and basically

0:59:33.800 --> 0:59:36.080
<v Speaker 1>Um was like, Hey, this is where I live. No

0:59:36.080 --> 0:59:38.040
<v Speaker 1>one has to worry about food or housing, and we're

0:59:38.080 --> 0:59:40.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna build people a new future. And she was like, oh,

0:59:40.200 --> 0:59:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I just get out. She was homeless anyway, And forty

0:59:42.160 --> 0:59:44.920
<v Speaker 1>years later she had opened up about it and basically

0:59:44.920 --> 0:59:47.160
<v Speaker 1>said she was with him for seven years in California,

0:59:47.680 --> 0:59:51.000
<v Speaker 1>UM and that people were warm, they worked hard to

0:59:51.040 --> 0:59:53.720
<v Speaker 1>build a utopian community, and he was very passionate about

0:59:53.760 --> 0:59:57.000
<v Speaker 1>civil rights. He helped in a great churches, hospitals, restaurants,

0:59:57.080 --> 1:00:00.520
<v Speaker 1>movie theater, UM, and he adopted lots of of color.

1:00:00.600 --> 1:00:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Then he had a black hid himself. So UM many

1:00:04.600 --> 1:00:07.160
<v Speaker 1>of in the majority of followers that died with him

1:00:07.200 --> 1:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>were black, and one third of them. So it's crazy

1:00:12.440 --> 1:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>because it's like, how you about the civil rights? But

1:00:14.840 --> 1:00:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you did all this to us. But she got out

1:00:19.120 --> 1:00:22.960
<v Speaker 1>three weeks before the massacre, and uh yeah, I mean

1:00:23.760 --> 1:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>she uh I think she she told a story and

1:00:26.760 --> 1:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>something called oh She said that he included the mass

1:00:31.840 --> 1:00:34.480
<v Speaker 1>suicide and rehearsals that he would call the White Knights,

1:00:34.920 --> 1:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and basically she had a realization that he was going

1:00:37.680 --> 1:00:41.200
<v Speaker 1>to kill her. She that's why she left. And uh yeah,

1:00:41.360 --> 1:00:43.160
<v Speaker 1>she said that he was kind of like re enacting

1:00:43.240 --> 1:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>it a few times. Wow, they had rehearsals and how

1:00:49.600 --> 1:00:52.919
<v Speaker 1>they're going to kill each other. Oh God, this is creepy.

1:00:53.640 --> 1:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>My last cult is a really wild one that I've

1:00:58.280 --> 1:01:01.600
<v Speaker 1>never heard of. I know I sons called. It's called

1:01:01.720 --> 1:01:04.520
<v Speaker 1>Chinao called Chin Tao was a cult formed by a

1:01:04.520 --> 1:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>former professor called Hong Ming Chin, who believed that the

1:01:07.800 --> 1:01:10.760
<v Speaker 1>universe four point five trillion years old, that we each

1:01:10.800 --> 1:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>had three souls, and that humanity has been rescued for

1:01:14.080 --> 1:01:16.160
<v Speaker 1>more than more than once by God who travels in

1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>a flying saucer. This is out there. These are UFO cults. Okay,

1:01:20.680 --> 1:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a UFO called. The group reportedly moved to Garland,

1:01:24.600 --> 1:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Texas because the name sounded like god Land, which is

1:01:31.240 --> 1:01:40.280
<v Speaker 1>probably because of an Asian accent. Uh god. Ok. At

1:01:40.320 --> 1:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>the time, the group had roughly hundred sixty members, forty

1:01:42.680 --> 1:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>of which were children. Members purchased more than two twenty

1:01:45.920 --> 1:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>homes in an upper middle class South Garland neighborhood. Like

1:01:49.680 --> 1:01:53.320
<v Speaker 1>their neighbors, these followers were white collared professionals, some of

1:01:53.320 --> 1:01:57.640
<v Speaker 1>whom were reportedly wealthy. They dressed in uh all in

1:01:57.680 --> 1:02:00.920
<v Speaker 1>white and wore cowboy hats and of luxury car So

1:02:01.000 --> 1:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>this guy recruited some real business people and brought them

1:02:08.440 --> 1:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>over to Texas from I think it was I think

1:02:12.600 --> 1:02:14.680
<v Speaker 1>it was Taiwan. Anyway, the group was best known for

1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>being hilly publicized and failed by a millennial prophecy. So

1:02:20.480 --> 1:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>this guy promised something and this is how he lost

1:02:23.960 --> 1:02:26.960
<v Speaker 1>all his fellowship. Shortly after moving to Garland. In August

1:02:27.040 --> 1:02:30.040
<v Speaker 1>ninety seven, Chen predicted that at twelve or one am

1:02:30.120 --> 1:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>on March God would be seen on every single television

1:02:34.360 --> 1:02:37.360
<v Speaker 1>channel all across North America. Whether or not the person

1:02:37.480 --> 1:02:40.720
<v Speaker 1>had cable service was irrelevant to God's appearance on that

1:02:40.840 --> 1:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>channel when predicted. When the When the predicted appearance did

1:02:43.680 --> 1:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>not occur, the group became confused. The chan and the

1:02:47.680 --> 1:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Chentel leader announced that he obviously had misunderstood God's plan,

1:02:50.920 --> 1:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>and members quietly returned to their homes. Chen offered to

1:02:54.760 --> 1:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>be was offered to be stoned or crucified for the event,

1:02:58.480 --> 1:03:01.480
<v Speaker 1>but no one took up up on his offer. He

1:03:03.240 --> 1:03:05.720
<v Speaker 1>later disappeared and was never heard from again. No one

1:03:05.720 --> 1:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>knows where he is. You think he was like schizophrenic

1:03:09.320 --> 1:03:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and really heard it. I think this guy was lost

1:03:15.240 --> 1:03:19.240
<v Speaker 1>his mind and said, watched twelve oh one. God's gonna

1:03:19.240 --> 1:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>give an answer to everybody, And they all looked and

1:03:23.080 --> 1:03:31.040
<v Speaker 1>nothing happened, and he's like, um, yeah, maybe check your phone, okay,

1:03:33.200 --> 1:03:37.520
<v Speaker 1>And then everyone sort of was like, here's a thing, though,

1:03:37.880 --> 1:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>if you're going to run a cult, you almost want

1:03:40.000 --> 1:03:44.640
<v Speaker 1>to keep it with mystery. If you say something's gonna happen,

1:03:44.680 --> 1:03:48.240
<v Speaker 1>doesn't happen, and I mean what, and your believers are like,

1:03:48.280 --> 1:03:50.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it, and they all disbanded him. First

1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:52.480
<v Speaker 1>of all, I said, it's a possibility, y'all take my

1:03:52.600 --> 1:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>ship too serious. I would have been like, you know

1:03:55.320 --> 1:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>how hard is to go viral? You think God's gonna

1:03:57.440 --> 1:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>get on every TV. There's a lot of cool shows

1:03:59.280 --> 1:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>out there right now. Because we are not in Garlin.

1:04:01.800 --> 1:04:06.440
<v Speaker 1>We are not in the right one. Garland Gotland, good one.

1:04:07.320 --> 1:04:10.560
<v Speaker 1>There's not a wild So he basically convinced a bunch

1:04:10.600 --> 1:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>of people over an Asia that that you know, uh,

1:04:15.640 --> 1:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>we have three souls and we should all moved to Garland, Texas.

1:04:18.400 --> 1:04:20.760
<v Speaker 1>They all bought homes and apparently if anyone here is listening,

1:04:21.040 --> 1:04:23.200
<v Speaker 1>and we got a lot of listeners in Texas and

1:04:23.280 --> 1:04:25.200
<v Speaker 1>anyone who was close to Garland, apparently it's a known

1:04:25.320 --> 1:04:27.640
<v Speaker 1>thing that like Garland had to deal with this issue.

1:04:27.680 --> 1:04:29.480
<v Speaker 1>And the city was like, what do we do. There's

1:04:29.520 --> 1:04:32.800
<v Speaker 1>a legit cult and some of the members still walk

1:04:32.840 --> 1:04:34.919
<v Speaker 1>around to this day. That's still believe in his work.

1:04:34.960 --> 1:04:38.400
<v Speaker 1>But but the religion disbanded and they were like all

1:04:38.440 --> 1:04:41.040
<v Speaker 1>white with a cowboy hats and cowboy boots and their

1:04:41.080 --> 1:04:43.760
<v Speaker 1>Asian is that crazy? So if you see Asian and

1:04:43.800 --> 1:04:46.480
<v Speaker 1>Garland sex, you'd be like hold on. So you'll be

1:04:46.560 --> 1:04:50.000
<v Speaker 1>watching cable this whole time, and Spectrum gave you nothing.

1:04:53.080 --> 1:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>So that's another way. And when you hear a coltsy

1:04:56.200 --> 1:04:59.640
<v Speaker 1>thing that big, you think is scientology even like the

1:04:59.720 --> 1:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>gym Jones one. Is it Jim Jones or is it Yeah?

1:05:03.320 --> 1:05:05.560
<v Speaker 1>But some of these other ones are just like wild

1:05:05.560 --> 1:05:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and some of the tactics they use is crazy. So

1:05:07.920 --> 1:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>let's you gotta run down, let me see what you got.

1:05:10.000 --> 1:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>Let's see here we go here we go, Here we go.

1:05:11.440 --> 1:05:19.439
<v Speaker 1>My first fact was about Heaven's Gate and the five

1:05:19.520 --> 1:05:22.400
<v Speaker 1>dollars and seventy five cents and taking their body to

1:05:22.440 --> 1:05:27.400
<v Speaker 1>the next level and castrating motherfucker's then Eddie matter of factors.

1:05:27.800 --> 1:05:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Eddie then did his first one was the weight loss

1:05:32.720 --> 1:05:38.400
<v Speaker 1>lighting name Gwen Trevanni shambling whatever I say it, because

1:05:38.400 --> 1:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought wins to Vranni, That's what My second one

1:05:43.560 --> 1:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>was then about Children of God and how they were flirting, fishing,

1:05:49.160 --> 1:05:52.960
<v Speaker 1>getting UM members in there with little girls. And then

1:05:53.160 --> 1:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>Eddie's second one was about the tactics, particularly love bombing,

1:05:56.080 --> 1:05:58.280
<v Speaker 1>about all the compliments and how we've seen it used

1:05:58.280 --> 1:06:02.160
<v Speaker 1>with pimps and funk boy today as it stands. And

1:06:02.320 --> 1:06:06.160
<v Speaker 1>my last one was about the People's Temple, Jim Jones

1:06:06.520 --> 1:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>bringing a bunch of people to Diana, killing a total

1:06:08.320 --> 1:06:10.640
<v Speaker 1>nine eighteen people. And Eddie's last one, as he had

1:06:10.720 --> 1:06:15.560
<v Speaker 1>just heard, was about Garland, Texas. Yeah, the Chin the

1:06:15.640 --> 1:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>China cult. And he said God's gonna God's gonna show

1:06:19.680 --> 1:06:21.800
<v Speaker 1>up on TV And then I was like, no, where

1:06:21.880 --> 1:06:25.640
<v Speaker 1>is he? Maybe he meant Pacific time. Oh my god,

1:06:27.560 --> 1:06:29.960
