Cool podcast features adult themes and graphic descriptions of violence and is not recommended for all audiences.

Listen or discretion is advised. Don't drink the cool head.

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 monetary or physical sacrifices as a condition of membership.

Organizations in which

isolation is different than that of the followers.

Organization 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.

Thank you for tuning into cult podcast. I'm Paige Wesley and I'm

Armando Torres and with us again we have Andrea Gazeta. Yay!

It's kind of like if somebody let a bunch of pirates decorate a TGI Fridays and that was a town.

Oh my God!

Just like floor to ceiling boos and clutter.

It was like wonderful and terrifying at the same time.

So the only information that I know about where you were staying is that it was really near

the Tillamook Cheese place which is somewhere you went.
