Hey, everybody. This is Armando Torres, and you're listening to the show before the show.

And I'm Paige Wesley. And with us we have...

Loving ourselves or else.

Yeah, bastard. I don't know. I wanted to match the energy.

We've got a great episode for you. Page has put it together. I thought it was both very fun and very interesting.

Genuinely, super interesting. I learned a lot of stuff I did not know.

I shout a lot. I'm sorry. Oh, it's okay. We're both loud, loud, angry people.

Yeah, I'm a Mexican from LA and you're an Italian. We're gonna yell. We're gonna yell. Hey, this was a Mexican from L.A. and you're an Italian. We're going to yell. We're going to yell.

Hey, this was a great episode. I hope you're having a great holiday season or a great winter season. And we love you very much.

For the purposes of this podcast, we define a cult as organizations that rally behind an entity or leader who espouse beliefs outside the norm.

Organizations that require physical or monetary sacrifice as a condition of membership.

Organizations in which the doctrines follow by the leaders are different than that of the

followers.

Organizations in which isolation is encouraged either by commune living or by a policy of disconnection

from outside relationships.

And organizations that actively recruit new members.

All cults might have some or all of these traits.

And as always, these are our opinions.
