Ep. 132.5 The Bunker: Lil Baby Rocks
We're back this mid-week with a minisode on a cult that is absolutely INSANE. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the lives of a man who trapped his followers deep underground for years. Also, we all might be able to relate to being in a bunker these days. Crazy times.

Ep. 132 Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh: Mmm SO GOOD!
We're back this week with an episode on a very eccentric, and equally evil, guru by the name of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the story of the guru's group, Dera Sacha Sauda, and his illustrious career as a movie star, artist, musician, and car technician. Yep. We'll get into it.

Ep. 131 Pana-Wave Laboratories: The Tale of Tama-chan
Hey! Psst. It's us. We know you're stuck in quarantine but you gotta make room for your three best buds. We're here so that Mando can tell you, Paige, and Andrea the story of the Pana-Wave Laboratories and their leader, Yuko Chino. If you need a laugh this is the perfect episode for you. This one is goofy through and through.

Bonus Episode: Audible Grits ft. Kristal Adams
About a week ago we recorded this Coronavirus Madness-style bonus episode for y'all. We had no clue how bad it was going to be. But, the jokes still work, baybee. We hope this brightens up your Friday a bit. We're joined by Kristal Adams, host of the podcast Black Card Rehab, to talk about the disease, immune systems, and weird college experiences. If you need a good laugh, and I'm willing to bet you do, this is perfect for you.

Ep. 130 Shincheonji: Fire Type Jesus
Join us this week as we cover the very topical Korean cult Shincheonji. They've made headlines for their part in the spread of Coronavirus but their story goes back further and includes more feet than you probably would've guessed. Listen in as Paige brings Mando, Andrea, and you up to speed on the devious diseased cult.

Ep. 129 The Latin Kings Pt. 3: Mr. World-Flat
We're back with the final episode in our series on the Latin Kings. We've come a long way from firefighters duking it out in the street. Join us this week as Mando takes Paige and Andrea through the story of the Latin Kings in New York, what members get out of being in the gang, and where the gang is now.

Ep. 128 The Latin Kings Pt. 2: In the Lagoon
We're back with part two of our series on the Latin Kings! Join us as Mando takes Paige and Andrea through the writing of The Latin Kings Manifesto and the birth of the gang's religious aspect. Learn about "The Worst Dinner", the weirdest riot, and many other hilariously upsetting things.

Bonus Episode: Big Herm's Big Dumps ft. Erin Suth
We were lucky enough to have Erin, Paige's sister, in the studio a few days ago and recorded this lil bonus episode for y'all to help you get through the Friday commute! Kick off your weekend by hearing about one of the worst first dates in history, the pros and cons of grillz, and for some questions from listeners. All in all a real good time.

Ep. 127 The Latin Kings: Just Like "Mean Girls"
We're back with another episode on gangs! Except for this time, the gang is actually closer to a cult than you might've thought. With its own religion, sacred text, and demi-gods the Latin Kings are part "Crips and Bloods" and part "Jonestown". Join us as Mando tells Paige and Andrea about how Chicago's history birthed the gang and what the group's original purpose was.

Ep. 126 The Seekers: Mime-o-grams
We're back with another episode about some wild space cult. Except this one has a fancy science twist. Shouts out to all my nerds out there. Join us as Paige takes Mando and Andrea through the prophecies of a Chicago woman and the long-lasting implications they've had on sociology. Also, thanks to our sponsor, Mando's Mime-o-grams: "Providing terrible news with horrible body movements since 2020!"
