Hello and welcome back to Cult Leader. I'm your Cult Leader, Spencer Henry, and this is a little leader where I read the stories that you sent to me.

Hey, if you have a story you'd like to share with the cult, send it on over to youspenser at Cult Leader.com and put little leader somewhere in there.

I feel like there I know there's people out there that probably have that first part memorized at this point.

It's not the same one every time. It's original fresh for every episode. Before we can get into anything, next week's Cult Leader will be out on Tuesday instead of Monday.

I know a lot of you listen to Obituary, but for those of you who don't, we are doing a live show this weekend and we will be spending the entire weekend up in the Bay area.

I will not be home, I will not have time to edit the episode. It's a really good episode, so I'm really excited for it, but it will be out on Tuesday instead of Monday.

I don't want any back talk on that. I don't want any sass. Listen, we've been very consistent with our Monday episodes this past year, so I don't want to hear it.

On Cult Leader this week, I sat down with Madison and we talked about the Insane Life and Traject Death of Jane Mansfield as well as her connection to Anton Leve and the Church of Satan. Truly a wild ride from beginning to end.

Oh, I have a correction on the Jane Mansfield episode. We're talking about her different tie-ins with Hollywood and the Church of Satan and everything.

We got up to the topic of Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate. In the episode I mentioned that Sharon Tate was murdered in 1967. She was actually murdered in 1969. If you have pointed that out, I don't know why I got mixed up probably because on the...

We just talked about it. Oh, on the Death of a Director episode, the murder of Al Adamson. We mentioned the murders and I think they were filming something in 1967. I don't know.

All kinds of mixed up in there. Listen, there's a lot of dates to remember. On obituary, we talked about whether or not your favorite pet would eat you and Madison filled us in on the history of Hearst. The Hearst Story, which was actually so fascinating.

We're gearing up for our first live show this weekend. I'm so excited for that. It's not a public thing. We're just doing it with a small group. It's kind of like our first test run.

So excited for that. Madison gets to meet the rest of my family. She's met Olivia and her husband, but she hasn't met anyone else. So it's gonna be a hoot. Who knows. If all goes well, obituary could be coming live to a theater near you or more likely a grimy bar or venue.

I don't know. Who knows. We're trying to figure out when we want to do our first one, but hoping that it's sooner than later and it will...

Our first one will be in Los Angeles somewhere. So don't worry. We'll give you all the details on that soon. Now let's get into some emails. I'm actually so excited because our first little leader is from my friend Nicole. She texted me and was like, I sent you a little leader and I read it and my jaw dropped at the end. You'll see.

By the way, Nicole text me if you're around on Saturday. Hi, Zezer. Long time listener. First time caller here. So I have three stories for you today. One spooky, two UFO related and three spooky slash killer. I love it. Thanks for breaking it down. Okay. So the first one says Harold the doll. Remember when we listened to the Harold the doll episode. Yes. I do remember that. Well, I had two of my other friends listen to it with me while on a drive from SF to Santa Barbara.

And we were all freaked out but had to get our shit together to celebrate our friend's birthday and her nice family house. A couple of weird things happened throughout the night. When the three of us were the only ones in the living room, the lights started to flicker. Mind you, this is a very nice and up-to-date house and it never happened again.

The other thing that happened was when Mickey, I think he'd met her before and I were getting the gas fire pit ready for smores and we were suddenly the only ones outside. Mickey put on the gas a tiny bit so I can light it and all of the sudden a huge flame jumped out and I was engulfed by the whole fire. What the fuck? No, Nicole, you never told me this. The first thing I did was check my eyebrows to see if they were still there. Thankfully they were and we ended up having a laugh attack since we were a bit tipsy. Our friends said that has never happened before and didn't know why it did.

We know, it's because you looked at- Have you seen actually? Did you ever look at the picture, Parald the Doll? I can't remember if I made you look or not. Sorry, Harold, for even discussing you right now.

Um, Nicole, that's terrifying. The fire thing is absolutely terrifying. Okay, so we're going into our second story now. I went home to Newport Beach to visit some friends and family in June of 2016.
