Hey everybody this is Armando Torres and you're listening to the show before the show

if you follow us on our Facebook group or any of us on social media then you might be aware

that it has been a rough week for all three of us and we just kind of needed

some time to regroup and get back to normal. So instead of posting a normal episode this week,

we are going to be sharing with you a speculation zone episode.

One of our favorites and one of the ones that our Patreon listeners loved the most, and we wanted to give everyone a chance to be able to hear

about a group that could be described as one big happy family. I just want to let everyone know that we will be back next week with our regularly scheduled

end of the Trump series finally and after that we are starting a series that I think all of you are going to

really really enjoy so I'm looking forward to that and yeah, hope to see you all next week without any further ado. Whoop, whoop.

August 3rd, 2019.

As the flames rise over the Shimmer Forest, Indiana campground,

47-year-old Joseph Bruce and his partner in life

and allegedly crime, 45-year-old Joseph Ustler, survey the empire they've built.

Their devoted followers gleefully darting between the flames, dancing, singing, screaming.

This is the 20th year in a row they've called their followers to commune together.

And like most years, they're definitely not going to be invited back to the venue again.

The people dancing and writhing

below them rhythmically chant their mantra, the only words that make sense in this moment,

a cry of solidarity, of happiness happiness and a family whoop whoop.

Oh shit!

My name is Hatchet Titz and this is the speculation zone.

Yeah.
