As the secret project deadline hangs ominously over us, we have dug up an absolute stonker from the Patreon vaults to keep you all going!
In the early 1980s, in a small hamlet in Central Ontario, there was a cult leader with a messiah complex so big he thought he could operate as a surgeon on the living and use his genitals to bring back the dead. Roch Thériault held a vice-like grip over his loyal followers, so tight that they would abandon their children to his surgical madness, and so firm they would abandon their partners for his harem. He called them The Ant Hill Kids, and with him, life was a living hell.

| 0:00.0 | Prime members, you can listen to Redhanded early and ad-free on Amazon Music. Download the app today. |
| 0:06.3 | What's happening, Lads? A bit of a different spin on it this week. The Secret Project deadline looms ominously, |
| 0:14.4 | and we didn't want to give you a shitty episode this week because we've been so, so busy with the Secret Project. |
| 0:22.9 | So what we thought it would be better to do is go through our bonus episode archives and give you one of those for a while. |
| 0:32.6 | This one is actually one of my favorites. Do you remember when we recorded Under Doo Ves? Well, this is from the Doo Ves times. |
| 0:39.8 | So he was actually recording it in a hotel in Texas, which feels like a million years ago, but wasn't that long ago at all. |
| 0:48.4 | So here you are. Here is our up-cycled Patreon bonus episode for this week, and we are going to be back next week with an absolutely bumper, bumper episode for you, |
| 1:01.2 | and everything will go back to normal. So please enjoy the Ant Hill kids. |
| 1:18.4 | Hi, Hannah. I'm Sarootty. And welcome to our second monthly bonus episode for all of you very generous patrons. We love you, so we're giving you some more stuff that you like and pay for. |
| 1:47.9 | I suppose it's the basis of this. That's the general agreement that we've got. |
| 1:52.7 | You give us some money and we give you some content. Good. It's nice and simple, and that's how we like it. |
| 1:58.7 | And yeah, I think you're going to really fucking love today's episode because we know why you're all here, and it's fucking horrible today. |
| 2:06.7 | Speaking of horrible today, if I sound a little bit weird, it isn't because we have progressed massively in the audio world. |
| 2:13.5 | It is because I'm in a hotel room in Austin for work, and I'm recording under a massive fucking duvet, and just to prove how much we love you, I've turned the air conditioning off. |
| 2:23.5 | So there you go. |
| 2:25.1 | Yeah, I imagine Texas in May isn't the most like, temperate of temperatures. |
| 2:29.7 | I'm in my own little personal hell here. So we've got a cult for you, which is an absolute stonker. |
| 2:36.5 | And it's one of those ones that I've sort of always known about, but didn't have an actual clue of what was actually happening with it. |
| 2:42.6 | I just vaguely knew that someone somewhere in Canada was running a cult where people smashed their own legs with sledgehammers, |
| 2:49.6 | but it's actually turns out quite a bit worse than that. |
| 2:52.5 | And I'm amazed that there isn't more coverage on it, but I think that is partly because this story or happens in French speaking areas of Canada. |
| 2:59.9 | So maybe there isn't much stuff on it in English. |
