It has the perfect balance of comedic commentary mixed with professional expertise, and linguistic wordplay!

The problem is not the cult foll... more

  • Overly political

    In recent months the episodes hosts have become more and more political. We live in very strange times where everything is tied to politics already. If every episode is going to have ties to specific political beliefs why can’t the episode include all sides of the political spectrum. more

  • Oh

    If you were to hear in a conversation something being described as a cult you would eventually find out that person doesn’t understand what “a cult” truly is with all its beginnings and ultimate ramifications. more
