We faced many tests during this recording session: our internet was out, our pollen count was in the 500s, and the neighbors decided to spray their compost bins while we record BUT we tried to keep it light in comparison to last week and we hope you enjoy! Grab you some Benadryl! Allie starts out by giving us a recap on everyone’s favorite female-branding sex cult, NXIVM, and it’s former teen star/sadist representative, Allison Mack. Meagan then tell some of us youngsters about The Merry Pranksters, whose LSD trip to NYC may have been the inspiration for iconic cult imagery. Also - It’s almost episode 50!!
