Summary

Ashley and former co-host Cam team up to tell the story of the infamous Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh (AKA the sex guru, aka the Rolls-Royce guru, aka Osho), his advisor Sheela, and their unimaginably intricate Oregonian scandal. 

Ashley covers Bhagwan's background and how he earned his nickname, the "sex guru", as well as what eventually happened to the commune and its wild, wild leaders. Cam talks about Bhagwan's laughing gas addiction, Sheela's attempt to poison an entire Oregon County, and the rest of the crazy shenanigans that these hoodlums got up to!
