Bonus Episode: Mando's Mom Doesn't Have a Penis
We're back again with another bonus episode for you! This one is from April right after Mando got back from his month long trek up the West Coast and boy do we have a lot to unpack. Both figuratively and literally. In this episode Charles Manson reviews Shen Yun, we eat the world's mintiest gum, and we swap stories about the month we spent apart. Plus, you get a chance to hear Armando's mom's voice! What a treat! We'll be back on Monday with another regular episode.

Ep. 87 Happy Science Pt 1: Horny for Learnin'
This week we're covering another one of the most requested cults we've been asked to cover in our "stint" as a podcast. Known for producing anime for over 20 years and having some of the most insane beliefs of any "major religion", Happy Science is the perfect subject for a Cult Podcast two part series. In part one, Mando takes Paige and Andrea through the life of Ryuho Okawa, President of Happy Science. Get ready for poetry, anime, and our favorite new character: Dr. Lube!

Ep. 86 Universal Medicine: Street Tennis
We're back with a real cult this week after our April Fool's Day romp. (Allegedly.) And what better way to bring us back than with one of the most requested cults that's ever graced our email inbox. (Allegedly.) Paige takes Mando and Andrea through a group who's fresh off of losing a lawsuit and their leader who's soon to be fresh off of losing a game of street tennis to Armando. (Allegedly.) Also, we're going to be completely honest with you, the last 8 minutes are entirely about Australian spiders and it's both hilarious and terrifying to anyone who hates spiders. (Not allegedly. Definitely.) So, get your flamethrowers ready. We're headed to Australia, baby.
