0:30.0	Hello and welcome to Cult Leader Presents a Very Culty Christmas. I'm your host with the most
0:43.3	Spencer Henry and I'm here to spread holiday fear. I mean cheer to each and every one of my little elves.
0:50.7	Support yourself a nice holiday cocktail or perhaps a cozy cup of hot chocolate and let's get
0:56.6	this started. I spent the past weekend in SF with my family to celebrate my sister's birthday,
1:04.0	attend her holiday market that she hosted, so much stuff, so much fun, cute, festive, still in the
1:11.0	thick of moving. Realized that once I got back, I was like, oh yeah, I'm in the middle of something

2:14.4	Colt leader in 2021 and I got to explore some really interesting cases of Old Hollywood, like the
2:20.5	mysterious death of Marilyn Monroe, Theta Barra, Jane Mansfield, which was so different and fun.
2:27.1	We have of course covered some Colts like the servers of the Divine Plan, the family, the church
2:32.3	of Sinanon, and more recently the Mormon Manson series Trilogy, which was wild. And then of course
2:38.5	we had a ton of Moida that we learned about the slaying in Saint Paul, pastor with a past and engagement
