From UFOs to psychic powers and government conspiracies, history is riddled with unexplained events.

You can turn back now or learn the stuff they don't want you to know.

A production of IHeartRadie. Hello, welcome back to the show.

My name is Matt.

My name is Noel.

They call me, Ben.

We're joined, as always, with our super producer, Dylan, the Tennessee pal Fagan, and our cult leader, by the way.

Most importantly, you are you, you are here, that makes this, the stuff they don't want you to know.

Fellow fans, friends and neighbors, conspiracy realist, enthusiast of all things cultish,

welcome back to our continuing fascination, which we hope you share.

Colts you have never heard of before we begin.

Just here at the top, I'd love to ask you guys, I don't know if we discussed it previously,

but what's something that you all have personally experienced that felt at some point,

either in the present or in retrospect cultish.

I've certainly mentioned this before, so I'll just briefly say that I was once friends with a

bunch of Baha'i faith people, and that is classified by some as a cult, but we're going to get

into what that actually means, and we've talked about all this before. I thought they were lovely people.

I did not participate in it in that way.

And I found it just to be a great way of getting together with some nice folks.

But I'll tell you what I recently kind of associated that with is like big K-pop and J-pop, like, boy bands.

And just like the hand movements and all of that stuff, it feels helicultish to me.

Swifties as well.
