Hi guys, it's me, your host, Ashley. This conversation with apostate Alex and I was recorded earlier

this year back in June, 2025. You may have noticed that things got a little inconsistent around May.

There was a lot going on behind the scenes. In this one, and in the next few episodes to follow,

you'll start to hear the early threads of everything that unfolded. If you want the full unfiltered version of that

whole chaotic stretch, check out patreon.com slash TSFU. I posted a ton of personal updates while

I was away from the public feed and there are are a couple of Patreon-only deep dives

that really lay out what my six-month hiatus looked like, stuff that's way too vulnerable

for the main platforms. And heads up, I've just created a new parisocial bestie tier that's only

$2.50 a month that gives you access to all of the Ash Learns the Bible content,

plus every personal update. And for those at $5 and up, you get the entire TSFU catalog. That's over

600 ad-free episodes, plus playlists, behind-the-scenes posts, and early ad-free releases of all new content.

Enjoy the episode.

Doing it, doing it, doing it well.

Doing it, doing it, doing it, doing it well.

Ash and Alex are doing Scientology well.

Ash. Ash.

Alex.

We're back.

We're back.

Oh, my God.

And I'm back from the dead, kind of, for the most part, slowly clawing my way out of the grave.

As you do, right?
