| 0:00.0 | Hello. Hello. |
| 0:15.7 | The world's bad. Newsflash. |
| 0:18.3 | But something that people are laughing at, which is actually way worse than you think, is Scientology. In the wake of Mission Impossible, the final reckoning, part one. Part one. The Church of Scientology rides again. I've been calling it Missing Impossible 3. Apparently there's like 1,700 different Mission Impossible's that I've just completely overlooked. But that is the title. |
| 0:37.9 | Is this the most recent one? Yes. Okay. I think I'm confusing it with Maverick Top Gun. |

| 1:47.7 | They make it easy because that's what they want you to do. |
| 1:57.4 | They don't want to be taken seriously. Some people even hang around outside Dianetic centers to taunt the smiley disciples of science fiction. |
| 2:03.4 | Predictably, the Church of Scientology is now on TikTok, and if you see people in the comments asking, where is Shelley Miss Cavage? |
| 2:05.5 | They're all me. |
| 2:07.2 | I want to say out for a different burner account. |
