Summary

On this episode, Sara and Danny go into the Yellow Deli Cult, who operate a string of infamous delis around the world that have generated more than a fair share of controversy for their fundamentalist religious background. They go into the cult’s long list of problematic beliefs and objectionable practices, which include child abuse, racism, sexism, and forced free labor. They also breakdown accounts from former cult followers, and delve deeper into the origins of the cult and where their beliefs came from. To finish it off, they end the episode with a game of ‘Who’s Cult Is It Anyways?’, during which they try to figure out the names of various notable cult leaders through yes or no questions.
