Speaker 1: 0:13

uh, we've got claire here tonight. Hello from mark headley hello from claire headley.

Speaker 1: 0:18

Nice to see you all here yeah, people are commenting this is, uh, some of the new bfg store. We got the bfg store up in life. You know, we, we created all this merch for the bfg merch store and, um, we were new, we're new at this. Claire made some stuff, I made some stuff. Um, it, just as a default, makes everything black. So, um, I was trying to figure. I couldn't figure out how to make anything.

Speaker 1: 0:45

So the first few days everything was just black black hoodie, black shirt, black head, you know, hat, everything, white mug, white cup, white mouse pad, white stickers, whatever. And then somebody said, hey, can you make some shit in color? And sure enough, the people that are doing the fulfillment. They're like, oh, you got to go here, you got to go there. And it's like, oh, so there is a ton of colored merch there now. We got pink, blue, red, white, yellow, salmon, fuchsia, periwinkle blue. We got everything up there now.

Speaker 1: 1:27

So if you guys want to get any of the merch, if you're a subscriber to the channel, there is a promo code in the community tab that only subscribers can see and it is a flat percentage off of all your merchandise. So if you're a subscriber, just head on over to the community tab and you'll see right there in the community posts, at least two or three of the posts have the promo code in it and you can get some stuff and get a little discount. And I was going to leave the promo code up until the end of today. I'm going to leave it up there until the end of Sunday and then I'll we'll get rid of it and, um, it's just for subscribers.

Speaker 2: 2:10

Yeah, and so we, the fulfillment um, the platform that we're using has a really cool app that goes along with it. So for anyone that purchases there, we do a little thank you video that comes out. So if you ha, if you do order there and you have a preference over Mark or I, just comment, and we we've kind of been taking turns sending out little thank you videos and trying to give shout outs to people that we know are pillars of our amazing SPTV community when we recognize names, um, but yeah, so that's a fun thing and you can add comments at checkout. So just say, if you want Mark to do a video or me, then just let us know. We will do our best.

Speaker 1: 2:52

Yeah, I don't know if you guys have ever heard of Cameo, but, like, if you have a famous TV person or radio personality that you like, you can go and to the site called Cameo and you can ask them.

Speaker 1: 3:05

You can, you know, it depends on what. If they were on the office, then they might charge you a few hundred bucks, but if they're you know whoever they might charge you $20 and you can get them to do a personal message for you. Um, it's kind of like that, except for it just comes when we get the merch. It just has an option for us to thank you and we can send you a video, thank you. And we have Claire and I kind of were like, let's just do the video thank yous. It's a nice thing and they're supporting the channel, so we'll do it that way. And yeah, it's just kind of a cool thing and we appreciate everyone who's been getting merch over there and, um, yeah, it's kind of a cool thing and we have we're gonna do something really cool. We've got, uh, claire has a new series that's dropping this week.

Speaker 1: 3:56

for sure we've already got we've already got four of the videos edited. We've already got stuff going, uh, going YouTube. We're letting because we're pre-recording and we're pre-producing these things. We are letting it go through all the YouTube checks and everything For some reason, and we think there might be some Scientology funny business going in on this but every time we put a video up it gets demonetized right away. I don't know if someone's reporting it or who knows, and then so the majority of the views happen in the first two days.

Speaker 1: 4:30

The first few days the video is unmonetized and then, after YouTube does a review which could take five hours, could take five days then they say, oh, your video is fine, and they put it back up. By then the majority, 90% of the people that are going to watch the video have watched the video. So we're letting these kind of like I don't know what you want to call it they're simmering. We'll put them up at the burner early so they can go through all that process and be reviewed and everything's golden, and then we will release them. So we got a whole ton of when is Shelly videos that are going to be coming out over the next few weeks and when we do a new series we are going to release merch that goes with that series. So we have a whole bunch of where Shelly merch that'll be dropping when Claire's series drops. And then aren't you working on other merch for for somebody else too?

Speaker 2: 5:24

Yeah, well for your series that we're about to talk to. Oh and and yes, I've been. I've been working to help, since we worked through most of the kinks on this new platform. I've been helping Mike and Aaron set up their platform, so they will be live very soon as well.

Speaker 1: 5:42

Perfect. And then, um, let me see what else we got the playlist I made a bunch of notes because I usually I'm like all over the map. So people are like, why don't you make some notes, you maniac?

Speaker 2: 5:51

So and it's been a heck of a long week over here at the Ed Lee house, oh boy, it really has been Right.

Speaker 1: 6:00

We covered Kelly Copter. Oh, let's put a link to Kelly Copter's channel If I didn't already. Let's put a link to Kelly Copter's channel in the video description, so if people don't know, or you could just search Kelly Copter on YouTube. She's got pink hair.

Speaker 2: 6:17

She's in the chat. She's in the chat.

Speaker 1: 6:19

Yes, oh, my goodness, how is she up so late?

Speaker 2: 6:23

Well, she probably knows that her epic awesome sauce is about to be shown to the SPTV community debut trailer. And, folks, this is worth it. Let me tell you oh my goodness, this is going to be so amazing.

Speaker 1: 6:39

Yeah, it really is. We uploaded the new intro, the sptv intro that kelly did. We uploaded it to the channel just as a standalone video. So, if you like it, go over there and blow up the chat, blow up the comments on that video and say how awesome kelly copter is so she can hear. And I think she put it out on her channel as well. Right, right, she either did a video or she released it. I saw it somewhere else, so I'm pretty sure she put it up on her own channel.

Speaker 2: 7:11

Oh yeah, the SPTV trailer that you played at the beginning. That's on her channel. Awesome, yep.

Speaker 1: 7:16

Okay, so then, um, yeah, so yeah, make sure you guys show Kelly copter some love too. If you haven't subscribed to her channel, you should do that. And then we get requests for all sorts of things We've we people write in, people do put comments when you go. The people go to the merge store, they make comments. And there's one thing I don't know why, but this cracker licking thing. It will not die. I cannot make this thing go away, and people just want to. I don't know, I don't know what it is with this cracker licking thing and, um, I think it was last week video, last week's live, maybe it was a live on tuesday or it was some video. I said, hey, listen, if you want me to do cracker licking videos, then I need an intro. I'm not going to do it unless I got an intro. Well, wouldn't you guess we got a video here? It is Well, wouldn't you guess we got a video? Here it is. One day he offered me some crackers.

Speaker 1: 8:13

The cracker looked good, cracker liquor himself.

Speaker 3: 8:16

I know Mark Hedley to be an evilly intended joker. I think I ate about four of them. No cracker is safe.

Speaker 1: 8:29

He had licked the salt off.

Speaker 3: 8:30

Every single cracker, every single cracker. That's Mark Headley. I'll lick a cracker every week if I have to.

Speaker 1: 8:35

Every single cracker Makes me laugh. Every single time. I cannot not laugh. So starting this week we're going to do cracker licking videos. I got a whole um is it? Was it john john satowski?

Speaker 2: 8:49

john satowski yes john satowski.

Speaker 1: 8:51

This guy has sent me so much stuff I don't even know maybe claire's giving out my address, but this guy has been sending me stuff. Denver steve-o's been sending me stuff. John sadowski's been sending me stuff. Um, of course, maryland sends us all this, uh oh and look, look, I got my um.

Speaker 2: 9:10

Angela gave me a cracker necklace.

Speaker 1: 9:12

Yeah, look at that I saw cracker earrings in claire's office when I was up there the other day. I was like what is going on? She's like, yeah, I got cracker earrings anyway. Um, I have. If you want me to review your crack, a sir, if you have a favorite cracker and you'd like me to lick it and review it, then we're gonna do that once a week. I'm gonna do. I don't know how many crackers there are, but, um, yeah, we're gonna do that every week just as a fun thing. We try to.

Speaker 1: 9:41

Um, this whole thing about science Scientology has hate websites up against, up about us that have been up since 2007, 2008, yeah, websites maybe even earlier, maybe 2006. But, um, somebody sent in a video and I didn't even know it was real until recently. But somebody commented that they said I licked a bunch of crackers and I thought there's no way that's a real thing. And, sure enough, somebody sent me a video and I've never been to my hate website because I know at the end of the day, it's for me mostly. Obviously it's not for anybody else because their websites are not getting a lot of traffic and even their videos. I kind of feel embarrassed that they're spending so much money on sets and props and production and everything, and they can't even get more than a few thousand views on these videos. It's pretty, it's pretty ridiculous. But um, I'm my, my, my cables are sticking out. This hoodie is messing up my whole wall of how I like to present myself, messing up my whole wall of how I like to present myself.

Speaker 1: 10:48

Anyway, when they did a bobblehead of hate video of Mike Rinder, we turned it into a bobblehead and we wanted to try to spin the hate and make it into something comedic and something funny. So I was racking my brain on what we could do with cracker licking and everyone seemed to think you should just lick cracker, just do like cracker reviews, or something. I was likeacking my brain on what we could do with cracker licking and everyone seemed to think you should just lick cracker, just do like cracker reviews or something. I was like, okay, if it's a thing, I'll do it, and people really that really resonated. So we're going to. We got crackers, we're going to start rating them, we're going to start going through them.

Speaker 2: 11:19

And that intro alone makes it worth doing. It's just so funny.

Speaker 1: 11:25

It does.

Speaker 2: 11:25

Every time. The more I watch it, the more I laugh.

Speaker 1: 11:28

Totally that. Really, at the end of the day, I was like, yeah, we're going to do that. Who was it? We were watching a video, or was it who we were talking to? We were watching a video. We were talking to somebody and they said they were watching. Oh, I think it was one of the comments on the merch store. They said they were watching a video and then the guy go, the kid walked through and he goes oh, what's that? He goes oh, I'm just watching the, uh, the cracker liquor. He goes is that the guy that always interrupts his wife? And that was what the kid said. I was like, hey, I'm working on it, I'm working on it.

Speaker 2: 12:05

Yeah, it's all good. Sometimes people don't understand that we've been married for almost 31 years. It's like come on.

Speaker 1: 12:13

When we're telling a story together, we're like Claire. Will she start talking when I'm talking? She'll just start telling her part of the story, even if I'm still talking. I'll be like I guess I'm going to stop talking because she's not stopping.

Speaker 2: 12:29

And I tell you what I believe if I don't start talking, you will never stop.

Speaker 1: 12:34

Exactly, anyway. So, yes, when Claire and I are and also to be fair in my defense, my audio is on a slight delay that I'm hearing from Claire, so sometimes she will start talking and I will start talking at the same time, and I won't know that I'm talking over her until I'm already talking over her. So we kind of have to we're, we're, we're trying to get used to how this broadcast system works here. But, uh, and also when we're doing these longer videos, I try to take it easy on her and not, uh, let her, let her, you know, let her pipe in whenever she pipes in. But you saw, I tried to tee it up on that other thing and she was like, oh, so you know, sometimes she, sometimes she takes it and rolls with it and then sometimes she's like, oh, yeah, that's right, I'm supposed to say this, so we'll see.

Speaker 1: 13:32

Um, let's see, we got the cracker liquors, we got the playlists. Oh, we're streaming this. We're trying a new thing we're streaming this to youtube. We're streaming this to facebook and we're streaming this to Facebook and we're streaming this to Twitter. On Twitter I have tried to release things ahead of time. There's a few people I don't remember when I did this, but I set up a subscriber thing on Twitter and I have been releasing content to these people on Twitter that are subscribed before anybody else, just because they're subscribers, and I don't know if we're gonna keep doing that over there. I don't think we have that many subscribers, but if more, if you are on Twitter more than you're on YouTube and you'd rather Watch stuff over there, subscribe over there and I'll keep doing it over there. If the subscriber base grows on Twitter, then I might do some Twitter only stuff, but for the most part, we're keeping it over here on YouTube and on the podcast.

Speaker 1: 14:29

We do have a lot of content on our blown for good podcast, which you can get on Apple or Spotify or wherever you get your podcast, and we're building that we've got. I think we're up to. I want to say we have like 30 40,000 downloads over on the podcast. So that's going well over there. Nice and um. Yeah, we're trying to build this thing. As long as we're doing a video and people tune in, we'll keep doing videos. We were talking earlier. We might be doing like a video of 37 people tune in and then I'll be like well, and I think we would still do it for those 37 people, even if they, we were like, but if it's zero or one, we might just be like hey, dude, just call us and we'll just tell you what happened.

Speaker 2: 15:10

We're not going to do a video, but thank you for all the 1500 people joining us.

Speaker 1: 15:17

Oh, wow, nice. Those are Aaron numbers. We're doing pretty good on these. We get 1500 people on there. That's amazing. We're going to do a Q and a in a bit here, guys. So if you've got questions, you want to hear, you want to know about something, or you got questions, we have. Even there was a person who had posted some questions about somebody she went to high school with and, sure enough, we all knew her and knew everything about her. So, depending on where the person ended up, the, the ex-scientology community is pretty far and wide and, uh, very uh, far, uh like wide reaching in terms of where people are at. So if you have somebody you're trying to track down or you want to know what happened to so andand-so, give us a comment or write into the channel or go to the merch store, make it. However, you want to reach out to us and ask about the person, in a lot of cases we'll know, and if we don't know, then we'll tell you we don't, we don't, we don't know about that person.

Speaker 2: 16:17

We might even mention it on a live, but yeah, and let's also mention as we always do daily we are receiving emails, phone calls, texts from people still in Scientology who are under the radar, so we are getting new information on a daily basis.

Speaker 1: 16:37

Yeah, we really the more. It's sort of like a snowball effect the more videos we do, the more YouTube promotes them. The more people watch, the more subscribers, and so we're seeing a constant flow of people contacting us that are either in Scientology, that are leaving or that have left and they need some help and they need to get back on their feet, which is the sole purpose of the Aftermath Foundation. Get back on their feet, which is the sole purpose of the Aftermath Foundation, and that is a very, very busy activity in terms of helping people and, you know, doing whatever we can do for people that want to get out or start over or whatever they need to do. Did I miss anything, babe? We got any other questions or anything I forgot about? If you guys are ready, we'll get over to the. Oh, do we have any giveaways?

Speaker 2: 17:28

Oh, good question. Yeah, we have a. We can do a bobblehead and a book.

Speaker 1: 17:32

Okay, bobblehead and a book. Let's do that at 30 minutes and an hour If we're still going at the hour, if we, if we don't get all the questions.

Speaker 2: 17:43

So in nine minutes and then in 39 minutes. Okay, sweet.

Speaker 1: 17:48

Sounds good, if you guys want.

Speaker 2: 17:51

Move our viewers to stay engaged folks.

Speaker 1: 17:53

We like to give stuff away, to be honest.

Speaker 2: 17:56

Oh, actually okay, no, I take it back. Since we've been talking about the merch store, no, I'm not taking back the giveaway. I'm saying, instead of whatever we let, whatever we pick, we'll let them choose, and it can either be something from the merch store, because we have that cool giveaway link feature thing where you just have to email us, tell us what you want from the merch store and we just send you a link.

Speaker 1: 18:20

Yes, that is a very cool address.

Speaker 2: 18:22

For all that, it's very slick, so we'll do a bobblehead and a merch giveaway. How about that?

Speaker 1: 18:32

Perfect, love it. Ok, let's get to some questions. Co BILF, mark and Claire didn't respond to the AI generated romantic fan fiction I sent them. But I understand. But I understand. Okay, first of all, I'm not a big fan of this AI stuff. It's very creepy to me.

Speaker 2: 18:56

And so I don't remember. Well, and more to the point, let me just ask you a pertinent question here When's the last time you read romantic fiction?

Speaker 1: 19:01

Yeah, oh, when's the last time I've read anything except for like a technical manual? I'm like an AV guy. I'm reading manuals and I'm reading technical write ups and bulletins and stuff like that and articles. I'm not, I don't make, I don't take a lot of time out of my day to to read romantic fiction, and certainly not about me. No, I don't think so. Um, so yeah, I'm not sure actually I do remember.

Speaker 2: 19:31

I remember seeing this and it was. I think it was pretty funny, but yeah I read it.

Speaker 1: 19:36

I read it. I just didn't. I didn't know what to. How do you respond to that? It's just like dude. What am I supposed to say? Good work, keep it up. I mean, the computer did it for him. He didn't do anything Anyway. Also, I do get about 200 emails a day on the channel. Claire does go through a lot of those. If somebody like John and Denver Stevo I just answered Steve-O today because he sent me an email and John's been sending stuff in and other people. You know if you wrote me and I answered you, you know who you are, but I can't answer all 200 emails. I just don't have it. There's just not enough time in the day and I have a full-time job and projects and work and I can't just be talking about licking crackers all day when I'm at my, when I'm at my day job. It doesn't work like that.

Speaker 2: 20:30

So thank you for the fan. Yeah, and if there's something important that we haven't responded to, feel free to ping me and get to my pension. I really do. I go back through and try to make sure I didn't miss anything that really needed my attention. So we're trying.

Speaker 1: 20:46

So consider yourself. Responded to CO bilf. Okay, nothing about that. Love this intro. Mark was just relistening to your audio book. Thank you, yeah, I did the recording of the reading of my audio book and Claire will attest to this. That is the first time I read my book was when I had to read it to for the audio book. Um, I wrote it and I gave it to Claire and I said, yeah, make it, make it all work, figure figure out what done. And it was about twice as long as the book that was published, because Claire read some book and it said you're not supposed to have it over 500, 400 pages. So we did the book and dah, dah, dah, dah, and she cut it down to 398 pages. So, um, is that how much it is? Is it around three, 98 still?

Speaker 2: 21:35

Yeah, I think it's exactly three 98. I can look, it's right by me, but anyway.

Speaker 1: 21:40

So, um, so I ended up reading it for the uh, for the audiobook, and I really like it. I think it's a good book.

Speaker 2: 21:48

I actually just started listening to the audiobook, even though I'm the one that's read your book the most. Yeah, I listen to audiobooks now, or podcasts. So I was like, oh, I should listen to Mark's book, you know, since I'm working on my book, to Mark's book, you know, since I'm working on my book, I'm like I have to subscribe. You know, subscribe to try and be remotely anywhere as good as yours. Anyway, it's quite funny.

Speaker 1: 22:14

Awesome, I am a true cracker licker. Anna says I also lick chips. Lol, I think it's because I grew up poor and I wanted to make my snacks last longer. What is your favorite cracker? Thank you for all you do. Yeah, I really like Wheat Thins. As much as they're not the best cracker in the world, I really do like them and I like White Cheddar Cheez-Its. Those are, for some reason, white Cheddar Cheez-Its and Wheat Thins. Although my system does not respond well to wheat thins, I will eat them. I'll eat a whole box if you let me, but my system is like that was not a good idea. You will never do that again. But yeah, white cheddar Cheez-Its. But I don't eat a lot of chips. I really really have been working over the years to stop eating bread and stop eating chips and I've been thinning out a little bit since I've been doing that. So hopefully I don't turn into a big blob from doing all this cracker licking for these videos. Uh, annabelle.

Speaker 2: 23:15

Oh, by the way, on that topic, though, we have to say thank you, John Zatowski, for sending a bottle of cracker powder because remember my gosh, because remember you mentioned, we're complaining about the carbohydrates that we're going to be involved in during this series.

Speaker 1: 23:33

He sent just the cracker topping in a giant tub. I'm like, how is this even a thing? Anyway, thank you, john. Another thing that John sent Evening from London, uk, annabelle. Thank you, annabelle. Some late night Lucys over in England there, oh hell, no, happy early Mother's Day to all the moms in the chat. Yes, happy Mother's.

Speaker 2: 23:59

Day Happy Mother's Day.

Speaker 1: 24:02

Kathy Ann says happy Mother's Day. Weekend, claire, thank you. Thank you, kathy ann. Tarkina meyer happy friday, loving that new trailer. So glad to spend my friday with mark and claire. Thank you, tarkina, we appreciate you. Thanks for being here. I watch a lot of aaron's videos during the week when I'm at work. I'll put, put it on over on the background, and she's in a lot of Tarkina's, in a lot of Aaron's videos too. Scott, md 80. Hi, claire, I received Mark's book and mouse pad. I was surprised when you sent me my own thank you video. You both rock. Yeah, you get the.

Speaker 1: 24:40

I will say in Scientology there is, they have this thing. I forgot who did a video about it, man, I can't remember. I'm sorry for forgetting guys, but on somebody's channel they did a video that talked about the different conditions of exchange that they have in Scientology, and they have a criminal exchange. That's condition one.

Speaker 1: 25:07

Then they have condition two, which is like shoddy you know, yeah, which is like I gave you $500 and you gave me like a $250 worth of work, like you didn't give me as much product as I gave you money. And then they have condition three, which is like fair exchange I give you some money, you give me a product that's worth that much money, and then they have what's called condition for exchange, and that is not only did you give me what I asked for and a very quality product, but I paid for just a regular diamond and you gave me a special blue diamond that was worth much more than what I paid for. So we are sort of wired to try to do as much as we can. So so that's why we're doing the thank you video and people like, oh, I want this shirt. And we're like, okay, we're going to give them that shirt. Um, so we're, we got very busy. Bees on the backend over here. So we're, we got very busy. Bees on the backend over here.

Speaker 1: 26:04

Um, uh, kathy, and uh, it's a cat. I'm sorry, kathy, it's a. I'm going to, claire. Close your eyes, close your ears. What are your thoughts on the defense? Calling no witnesses before resting? I hope you can both get some much needed rest this mother's day weekend. Yeah, they didn't do that on the first trial, I think. Um, the only witnesses that they could really call in their defense are Scientologists, and Scientologists are not known to be the best witnesses and in terms of calling them, in terms of the truth output that they will receive. So that's what we'll say on that at the end, jess Gunn. Hi Claire, did you get the meme I sent for Mike? Jess Gunn.

Speaker 2: 26:45

Hi Claire. Did you get the meme I sent for Mike? I don't think I did. Yeah, Send it to me again and I'll make sure I get it.

Speaker 1: 26:50

Claire at blown for good dot com. Ok, valerie Buljack. Claire, I just tried to be a book for someone in the last. I just tried to buy a book for someone. In the last chat the book came to me. Oops, I'll email the details and we can fix it for them. I'm sorry. Yeah, you can do a gift on this or a donation on the BFG store and you can just donate an amount and say what you want it to. If you buy a book from us, you're going to get a book. There's no way for us to um. It's. It's very hard for us to keep track of every little thing If someone's buying a book for somebody else. If you just do a donation and say you want this to go to somebody as a book, um, then we can do it as a giveaway.

Speaker 2: 27:35

It's very easy. Actually, let me override that now with the, with the merch store, you can buy the book and gift it to them there. Oh, you can, I think PayPal. Yeah, paypal defaults to your own shipping address. So if you order a book through the site but through the merch store, you can select and send it to the person. I think that the issue that Valerie probably had is that when somebody chats they have to email me and give me their address. So it gets a little complicated. But we do our best, we'll sort it out, valerie. Either way, greatly appreciate your support.

Speaker 1: 28:10

Awesome we're good. Thank you, see you all again. Fyi, mark, I banned crackers at Int. Farrakhan said it was overdue. Okay, okay, these guys are so random. Lady Pamela, y'all bring me so much joy. Is that weird? Lol, xo. No, it's not weird. That's what we're here for. We're not doing this for our health. Oh boy, calico 26.

Speaker 2: 28:36

Mark, we need coffee rat, ok Did you see, when I interviewed Jeff Hawkins, he had a cup with the rat tail on it, I did, we'll get a design on that.

Speaker 1: 28:48

Coffee rat merch. Oh, my goodness, the coffee rat, the crackers. Question Do you think SPTV will get the attention of government like IRS or DOJ? Simply Sarah. You know I'm not necessarily Thank you, simply Sarah. You know I'm not necessarily Thank you, simply Sarah.

Speaker 1: 29:06

I'm not necessarily confident that any of those people are watching YouTube videos about Scientology. But we have been working with people. We have been working with many different organizations for years on giving them evidence, turning over people that might have some information, turning over whatever information we do get. So you know, we're not just doing YouTube videos, guys, we do work on doing other things to make sure that this can get sorted out one way or the other. And I'm very confident that things will be happening that will result in some sort of law enforcement or government agency involvement in resolving this thing that's called Scientology and mainly the abuse and the criminal activity that's being committed. That's what we really care about.

Speaker 1: 30:06

We don't care what if people believe in space aliens and Xenu and body things, whatever, I don't care. I think it's hilarious. I think if you believe in a space alien that took nine weeks of light speed travel to get to earth and did and imprisoned billions of billions of beings. If you believe in that and after hearing that story you're like my money's on little davey then I think you deserve for xenu to be real, because xenu is, he's much more advanced than little Davey, the COB Scientology boss baby. So I'm like, I welcome it. And also I have been a Xenu as my homeboy. Fan Claire knows this. I was posting Xenu as my homeboy, you know, 15, 20 years ago on the internet. I'm a Xenu, has been my homeboy for many, many years.

Speaker 1: 35:02

Of course she is. How did I? How did I not know this? How did I? How did I not know this? Yes, I don't know. James, if I do a book from the store and put in notes for giveaway, does that work? If I do a book from the store and put in notes for giveaway, does that work?

Speaker 2: 35:20

Yes, that works, yep.

Speaker 1: 35:22

But okay.

Speaker 2: 35:24

Because then the same thing, then do the giveaway, and I'll mark that one as we'll try it and let you know, but I think it should work Again. This is a new platform, so we're ironing out the wrinkles, so to speak.

Speaker 1: 35:41

Awesome. Anne Hummingbird, what if we want both? I assume that she's talking about if I do a message or you do a message, it's really, um, it's really going to be best if you do one or the other, because then we have to be at the same time and and be at the same place at the same time, and then remember, we're supposed to do a thing. I, whenever I have a few minutes, I went, no matter where I am, I'll crank out a few thank yous. Went, no matter where I am, I'll crank out a few thank yous, no matter where Claire is, she'll do a few.

Speaker 2: 36:11

So if you, if you get in picky like that, we won't be offended, but it's on an iPhone app too. So camera wise, two people, that wouldn't be so good.

Speaker 1: 36:22

We'd like handing off clunking it around and, much to my much to my, my dismay it only works in portrait mode. I did notice this um got my thank you video and saved it. It was totally unexpected, yeah, you know. The other thing is you could share that video. If you get the video, you could share it to twitter or facebook, or it has a share thing on it too. So I found out about it on Facebook. I saw that or Twitter or something, and I was like, oh, that looks like Claire and somebody posted their thank you video. Lafanda Grocklinger. I love how people from all over the SPTV network work together. The fact that you make people feel that they are not alone with their trauma is precious. Yeah, we are 100%. Thank you, lafanda. Trauma is precious. Yeah, we are 100%. Thank you, lafanda.

Speaker 2: 37:13

We're 100% want to be.

Speaker 1: 37:20

What do I always say? Inclusive, yeah, inclusive, but rising tides raise all ships, okay. So I know that sometimes this person doesn't agree with that person, that person. That's why it's great that there's 25 channels. If you don't like me or you don't like the ginger broad over here, there's 20 other people doing it. I was doing 20 other people doing content. If you want to watch their video, watch their video. It doesn't matter to me. We're all going, we're all trying to, we're all trying to put this whole story together, and I think it's even better that so many people are doing videos now, because they're filling in different parts of different stories that have occurred over like a 70, 80 year period. So it's much better this way that there's not one gatekeeper that you have to agree with or you have to be their friend or you have to be in their little clique. Most of the people that are doing channels right now we have been friends with or we've been in touch with, and I want to say that all of the channels that have been around for a while, like Jeff and Karen and Chris Shelton and Aaron and Ron Miscavige, and all these channels that have been around, claire and I have been on those channels multiple times over the years doing videos for them. So we have always tried to be as inclusive.

Speaker 1: 38:35

Connection is the key. Connection is the key. That's all you have to know. Scientology spends so much time on disconnection. There must be something about connection that they don't like. They don't like that. It's therapeutic. It helps Scientologists get over the trauma, because Scientologists, in almost all cases they think it was them that was wrong. They've been programmed to think that if they're a victim, they did something wrong. If they're a victim, it was their actions that caused them to be a victim. All these things are always. It's always me, it's always me. If you don't talk to another person that the same thing happened to, then you will genuinely believe it was all you and that you're the one that did something wrong. And in Scientology there's so much shame that if anything ever bad happens, it was not Scientology, it was you, or it was a misapplication of Scientology and sort of like yeah, scientology is so prone to misapplication that it's abusive and its injustices happen all the time to regular good, you know, intentioned people. So we really do try to be inclusive.

Speaker 2: 39:56

Yeah, yeah. And let me say, too, the amount of messages we receive from people who were never in Scientology but have had, you know, whatever traumatic experiences in their past, that somehow what we're talking about has helped them to gain perspective on whether it be another group or something else, it's. It's inspiring, and this community that has grown up around SPTV in this beautiful, organic way is something to behold. It's amazing.

Speaker 1: 40:26

Yeah, you guys are watching. This is happening in real time. This year may be one of the most exciting years in the Scientology watching department. I guarantee we got stuff coming this year that's going to blow your socks off. Just bought a Zinu as my homeboy hoodie. Can't wait to get it. Awesome, thank you, jessica. Yeah, I mean, these things are. They're very comfy, by the way, they're very soft and, um, yeah, awesome, megan got a name, the color, something fun, like Aaron with his shirts. Yeah, unfortunately, the the names of the shirt, the colors of the colors. So, um, I wish I could do that, the descriptions that I do, and I'm the one who writes all the descriptions, by the way, on the BFG Merch store, just in case you were wondering, and I can only write the description for the item, I can't do the colors. The colors are preset. So I received my short. Uh-oh, here we go.

Speaker 2: 41:26

Uh-oh.

Speaker 1: 41:28

I received short. Oh, here we go. Oh, I received some of these could be, these could be booby trapped. I received my shirt. I ordered an extra large, five X, so I could wear it as a cover up. I was so surprised when I received a video. Thank you from Claire. I downloaded it to save because it made me smile from ear to ear. Ok, good, thank you. I didn't know where I. You know, sometimes I put these up without reading them, guys, so sometimes I get a little little caught off guard. But thank you, bella, that was very sweet. We appreciate it. Thank you, cassandra Reiners.

Speaker 1: 42:01

Okay, so, mark, hear me out, nibble head of you wearing a DM shirt. I'm totally into DM as well, so would so love that. Okay, so she's talking about. This is another crazy thing we have right now. Thank you, cassandra. We got Danny Masterson, we got David Miscavige, we got direct messages and we got Depeche Mode. They all start with DM. So even Aaron on his channel is getting a lot of DM, this DM, that. So we got to really read into this, luckily, um, I don't know, we'll see. Um, I don't. I really um, I'm really particular about, uh, depeche mode stuff and bootlegs and uh, you know, using anything of the bands. I'm very respectful of that, so I'm not sure if I would. We have to figure that out. If I got a good design, I might do something with that.

Speaker 1: 42:57

Pieces of me, hi, mark and Claire. Mark got your book today, finished Mike's last week. Claire, waiting for yours. Good work all. Thank you, pieces of Me. I appreciate that. We have been selling a ton of books. We still sell the Blown for Good books through the BFG website, but we are also selling the BFG books on the BFG merch store and we have been selling a ton of books through there. So, yeah, that's pretty exciting. Silver Spoon I can't find the Shelley merch. Has it been put away? It has not been released yet. When claire's series drops, the merch will drop as well. We're, uh, we've got a bunch of stuff that we've already kind of designed and, uh, it'll show up. Uh, john satowski, awesome, quicker cracker liquor intro. I just sent you the cracker coating without the nasty carbs from crackers. Yes, we received it, john. Now you can make anything taste like a Cheez-It. How about celery Cheez-Its? Oh, I didn't think about that. We will see. It seems like it's just a bucket of MSG, but we'll see. We'll see what happens.

Speaker 2: 44:02

I don't know. I didn't check the ingredients.

Speaker 1: 44:05

I didn't either. I didn't even think it was for me. I saw the package and I was like, oh, claire got something. And then she's like, no, that's your cracker liquor powder, kat and Maggie.

Speaker 2: 44:17

John, I made sure he read your message so he knew it was from you. Yes, I did read your message, John.

Speaker 1: 44:21

Thank you, kat and Maggie. I'm pretty sure the crack whoa she's gone. I'm pretty sure the cracker licking took off because it's obviously not true and it's so hilarious, right? You know, somebody sent me another video. I think this is becoming, excuse me, becoming some sort of trend, but somebody sent me a video that had a girl that I used to work with. I recognize her and she was talking about a pizza truck and how, when I was a kid, I had robbed a pizza truck and I was like, anyway. So I don't know if, um, they're just some of the people over there just don't remember some of these stories.

Speaker 1: 45:01

But, uh, I'm going to try and figure out what this girl's talking about and if I can figure it out, I'll tell you the story. Um, I just I'm, I, I I'm going like what? Like, I don't even think pizza trucks were a thing when I was a kid, so I'm like pizza truck. I'm not sure I understand that what she's talking about anyway, but, yes, the cracker licking thing has uh grown into a, uh, it has taken on a life of its own. So, whatever we'll lean into it, we'll have fun. Uh, tb glad you finally found the mugs I sent, mark, do you like the cracker mug? Yeah, here we go hold on.

Speaker 1: 45:36

Yes, there it is.

Speaker 2: 45:37

Look at that um yes, awesome, love it glad you finally brought that mark.

Speaker 1: 45:42

Do you like the cracker mug? Yes, I love it. Um, also, have you you sent Steve Mango YouTube videos? I don't think so. I don't know what that means. Have I sent him YouTube videos? Steve Mango has his own YouTube channel. So, yeah, I'm not sure what that means, but I don't think I've sent him any YouTube videos. Just, jules. The reason I love the cracker licking is because it shows what a good person you are, mark. If that is the worst Church of Scientology come up with, it's awesome. Yeah, jess, jules, I agree, that is literally like we.

Speaker 1: 46:21

I found some footage that I shot when I went to the base with a Danish film crew. I found some footage that I shot when I went to the base with a Danish film crew and I actually found that I didn't know this, but the Danish production had sent me the final video of the program. So I'm thinking about putting that up on our channel or maybe doing a reaction video to the part with this Danish film crew. There, the people at the from the Sea Org members from the base are literally screaming and yelling at me and this other guy that used to be a Scientologist and I'm just showing them pictures of, like, claire and the kids on the phone the whole time. And anybody who knows me personally will know if people are screaming and yelling at me and I'm very happy and showing pictures on my phone, that is me in rare, rare form. Ok, I'm not the. If you want to be confrontational, oh, I'll play confrontational, I'm not. I'm no stranger to like getting up in a face and being like seriously, dude, you do not want to mess with me. I've been through so much nonsense. I don't even care about what happens right here, um, but uh, I was very. It's a great video of me, just like oh, here's Claire, here's my son, caden, here's my other kid. Like I'm showing them my kids, um, and they are going crazy and the Danish crew are like he's the only one who's acting normal out of you guys. You guys are nuts. You're screaming and yelling on the side of a highway. So I was watching that footage. I definitely want to do a video on that.

Speaker 1: 47:58

Lathanda, again, I'm in the same time zone as Kelly. Oh, my goodness, sptv addicts will not miss an episode. Well, you guys need to mean okay, I get it. That's it, thank you. I want to say it's like two or three in the morning. Right now it's late. That's a lot. Lc. Does someone teach you to do the construction and electrical work outside professionals? Most of the stories seem to have children doing the building. Oh yeah, no, no one trains you like here's in fact.

Speaker 2: 48:30

Yeah, let me just say something. So in scientology there's a thing called instant hat, and that is you get given a job to do. Somebody tells you put this here and do this here. Good, you're good to go, go do it. That's. That's literally. I'll train you to do stuff.

Speaker 1: 48:49

Yeah, I did at the, at the base. I did electrical work, I did um networking, I did rough construction stone, veneer, block, wall framing, um roofing, sheathing, siding, painting, all these things. And each time we did those it was just like, if you don't know how to do it, just watch somebody else do it, and now you know how to do it, that's it. So it's not like we're not getting into a big like thing Like in Scientology, if you like. Oh, I don't know how to do it in the Sea Org and you say I don't know how to do it in the c org and you say I don't know how to do it. It's like, seriously, dude, you've done everything, you know how to do everything. Get to work. If you know how to do it, you better be figuring it out in the next one minute. So, yeah, they don't teach you how to do. I want to say until I was there from 1990 to 2005. There were accidents that would happen. People lose a finger here. Well, there was a few fingers over the years.

Speaker 2: 49:56

But don't forget, I almost lost my foot.

Speaker 1: 49:58

Yeah, there, when accidents happen, then they they sort of lean it towards. Maybe we should try some of the safety stuff like locking out electrical circuits while you're working on them or locking up transformers with a lock, making it so that not just anybody can climb into an electrical vault. Um, they sort of did that in the later years, but before that, yeah, there wasn't a lot of that, and you'd see some people missing some fingers every once in a while, and most of the time it'd be like he either worked in a construction shop or he worked at Bridge Publications, where they'll push a bunch of paper up against a cutting press and then the paper will get cut for books or glossaries or something, and sometimes they'll jerry-rig those things so they can go faster. And when you jerry-rig a machine that has two tons of cutting pressure or something, and sometimes they'll Jerry rig those things so they can go faster. And when you Jerry rig a machine that has, like you know, two tons of cutting pressure.

Speaker 2: 50:56

Someone's going to lose a film every once in a while. That's how that works. Yeah, so there was also. There was also a lot of people falling off ladders and a number of people drove motorcycles. There were a bunch of broken bones from motorcycle accident, like that's even. That's how I broke my leg. That's how Mike broke his leg, I think. Yeah, there's a bunch of people that have broken bones from all kinds of things. Yeah, not, not good. In fact, sometimes OSHA would come to the property, right, and they would like scramble to shut everything away.

Speaker 1: 51:34

Yeah, yeah, the property is so large that if somebody at osha showed up, um, they would have to go to the main booth and then the main booth would alert the people that they would go see, like the construction hey, you guys, gotta, you gotta, get stuff ready. Osha's here. Then the osha person would have to go to the lobby and wait for a construction person to go meet him and by the time the construction person from the seaworld would go meet him. Oh, they'd already have everything cleaned up and vacuumed and all the sawdust emptied out of the dust collectors and you know all the children shut in the closet so nobody would see them, that kind of stuff.

Speaker 2: 52:12

Yeah, before I forget, we're four minutes away from our next giveaway.

Speaker 1: 52:16

Oh my God, we got to get some questions going. Yeah, cat, acdc fan, I chat on Aaron's side a lot but, oh my God, love the cracker licking intro. You two are so great together. Thank you for all you do, so enjoy watching. Thank you, kat, acd fan. Thank you for being here, getting some Aaron spillovers here and burrow. Thank you so much. Claire Finally got my book four months later. Love from Perth, australia. Oh this, getting a book from Colorado to Perth is a challenging feat between Australia and the US Postal Service. They do not play well together. I'm just going to go out and say that right now.

Speaker 2: 52:58

And randomly, the other day, when I went to somebody in Canada, usps was like we can't ship to Canada. I'm like what I've been shipping to canada? I had to just until the next day, and then I generated the label. I was like yeah, I knew it.

Speaker 1: 53:13

Yeah, there's definitely weirdness going on sometimes, but when we try to ship out of the country. Uh, miss kim, thank you. I secured a web address for sptv. I'm foreseeing a simple website for a list of channels and upcoming events. I don't know how to make a website. Maybe a tech savvy fan could help. Can I email you about it? Love your channel, thank you.

Speaker 1: 53:36

Yeah, you can email Claire about it. We have had a lot of people offer to buy SPTV domains and if you want, you can just point those at this channel, or you can point it at whatever channel your favorite SPTV channel is, or you can point it at a merch store. You can point it wherever you want and then you don't have to make a website. You don't have to do anything. You just point the domain at wherever you want people to go for that and when they church SPTV it'll just direct them to that. So that's one way.

Speaker 2: 54:07

But definitely email me. I have lots of ideas.

Speaker 1: 54:09

So Awesome, destiny Salazar, so proud of the impact that both of you have been able to make. Do you feel like there is a true sea change in people learning the truth about Scientology?

Speaker 2: 54:22

Absolutely.

Speaker 1: 54:23

Yeah, I do. I mean we've been, so we left in. We left in. We left in 2005, january 2005, after being in from the early 90s, and I want to say in 2006. In 2005 I was doing stuff on the internet like secretly, but I want to say in 2006 it was like doing stuff in a major um way to expose scientology. And I think, besides the anonymous, we had this thing with anonymous that went on, where anonymous would just like lighten up scientology. Um, there's been like the anonymous thing, um this was another big one saint pete times doing a big article down in florida.

Speaker 1: 55:07

Going clear the book, going clear. The documentary, the Leah show, I want to say the podcast, the Leah and Mike podcast. I want to say SPTV is the next major like sort of milestone that's happening and out of all of them, this seems to be the most. This is resonating with more people more often than anything else. So I don't know why, I don't know what, I don't know how this all happened or it came to be the way it is, but this does seem pretty pretty good, and it is. It does seem like. It seems like something's happening. Question Mark do you have the rat tail coffee cup that Jeff Hawkins made? He showed it to Claire when she interviewed him. I know we don't have it. Jeff has it, unless he sent it to you.

Speaker 2: 55:58

No, that's.

Speaker 1: 55:58

OK, we'll do something. Well, yeah, I mean also I hate to break it to you guys there's SPTV subgroups. I hate to break it to you guys there's, there's SPTV subgroups. There is a Colts coffee and crochet group on Facebook and somebody crocheted a rat, a rat tail, coming out of a cup of coffee. So this is this is getting ridiculous.

Speaker 2: 56:24

Oh no, somebody sent us from England a mug with a full wrap in it. It's right over there on my shelf. What, yeah, here I'll grab so everyone can see oh my goodness, this is ridiculous.

Speaker 1: 56:38

yeah, it's been. Uh, we have. We've getting a lot, of, a lot of people uh reaching out, sending silliness in, uh, slappy white. You guys are my heroes. Thanks for speaking up for those of us who can't speak for themselves. Absolutely. You know, just because you weren't in Scientology doesn't mean you haven't experienced some other form of a cult or abuse or bad relationship or you know. It's a community, it's a connection. That's again like I say, it's just connecting to other people and sharing your stories and hearing their stories, and once you've heard enough stories and you think it's done something for you and move on to somebody something else, great, awesome. If it can help, awesome.

Speaker 2: 57:20

Are you ready?

Speaker 1: 57:21

Yeah, let's see it. Oh yeah, there you go. It's a crochet. That's what I'm talking about, and that's not even the one I that's, that's not even the one I saw in the group, that's a whole, nother one. Thank you for whoever sent that. Debbie JF says Claire did eternally Emily D Baker. Reply to you Did Eternally Emily D.

Speaker 2: 57:46

Baker reply to you. She did not, but I'll send her another email. Things have been a little crazy, but no, she didn't.

Speaker 1: 57:51

Speaker 1: 58:56

Why did you guys decide to settle in Colorado? I have family on my dad's side that had nothing to do with Scientology that used to live in Colorado. That used to live in Colorado and we would come here for Thanksgiving. Since the year we got out, we would come every year for Thanksgiving and we didn't have any family in Los Angeles. The only reason we went to Los Angeles was for my work, and the work that I was doing was now getting more and more all over the United States and it actually made more sense for us to be in the middle of the United States than all the way on the West coast. And after going out to Colorado every year for Thanksgiving, we sort of were like we were dreading going back to color, to California afterwards. And then finally it was just like you know what? Let's look for some houses out in Colorado and we loved it out here, and the schools and the kids and the family and everything else. It was like this is a no brainer, we're moving to Colorado. So that is the story of that.

Speaker 2: 59:58

Speaker 2: 1:01:37

They did. But they did just ask for some not Zinu merch but BFG merch, so we got some for them. It hasn't come yet, but yeah know, um, the book report went great, huh go ahead, yeah book report went great.

Speaker 2: 1:01:54

Um, our son said it helped between the little pieces he knew because we've always kind of um tried to keep our age appropriate what we talk to our kids about. And he said it helped him so much filling in all the pieces of what we've told him over the years and he really enjoyed it. So it went well.

Speaker 1: 1:02:15

Yeah, and the neighbors and the kids watch these lives as well sometimes. So you know, the cat's out of the bag, guys. Everybody's, everybody's in on it. Okay, lori plays, I'm crazy about you two individually, but together I adore you. So proud of you both. Thank you, lori plays. We appreciate it. You know she's not so bad either.

Um, christine crowley, do you, did you find who did the cartoon of the four sps? It would be the coolest merchandise. Yes, we did speak to it. Uh, the person, the gentleman who did those, and yes, he actually does that. He makes caricatures for a living of celebrities. That's what he does, um, or he's at least a cartoonist, and every picture he had up on his Instagram or website or whatever was other caricatures. So we did find him.

Speaker 2: 1:03:17

He said we can use it. We're getting all the paperwork in place and he's also doing individuals, which is amazing, so awesome.

Speaker 1: 1:03:25

So we'll have an SPTV mug that has all of us on it and maybe an SPTV logo, and then we're going to have logos or cups or merch with just Aaron, just Mike, just Claire, just Mark. And then, because you know Ginger over here she can be on the same mug with me We'll have one with Claire and me, if you like that better. So yes, that is going to be coming soon, m Adams, guys, what is your funniest? Busting, scientology, fair gaming, someone story. You know, when they thought you were being so, they thought they were being so clever, but it just made you laugh. Maybe that PI in Vegas, the PIs in Vegas?

Speaker 2: 1:04:11

Or what about the guy that was hiding behind your car at the grocery store trying to get you to run him over?

Speaker 1: 1:04:16

Yes, oh my God. Well, that was not really funny. That was a little scary because I almost ran that dude over with my car.

Speaker 2: 1:04:22

Yeah, it was night, it was dark outside.

Speaker 1: 1:04:24

Yeah, there was a PI that he was a very famous private investigator that worked for Scientology. His name was Eugene Ingram and there is a video of him on a show. Was it Four Corners, australia that we did?

Speaker 2: 1:04:42

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:04:43

There's a link in the playlist I was talking about earlier where we did a program, an Australian program, I think it was called the X-Files, that's what it was. I think it was called the X-Files, that's what it was. It was called the X-Files and there's a PI in that video who is following me in a truck. And while we're shooting the video, they're like have you ever been followed by a PI? And when they asked me that question, I'm like, yeah, and guess what, there's a PI following us right now. And they were like what? Anyway, I tell them the license plate. Sure enough. I was like, okay, you guys want to see how this works. We turned down a street, the car turns down the street. We turned again, he turns again, and then they go what do we do now? I said, well, let's pull over. He knows, and I get out. He knows that, we know. And so we did that. And, sure enough, he drove off. And they were like, oh my gosh, how do we know? Will we ever see that PI again? I said, oh, he'll be at the hotel when we get back there. He'll just go. He knows, that's where we're going to go back to. We left from there. We're going to end up back there somehow, some way and you got to watch the rest of the video. But either way, that was a good one, because I told them that they would, the PIs would follow us. And when we were doing an interview at a hotel and then they said, well, if we rig up the truck with cameras and everything, do you think we can catch it? I was like, oh yeah, absolutely. And they thought I was. They, literally they thought I was crazy. They're like how's this guy going to predict that a PI is going to follow us and we're going to shoot it. And that is exactly what happened. The PI followed us. We got back to the hotel, they shot the whole thing and then, even after and this private investigator he almost ran over one of the film crew and the guy the main narrator of the show, was like, well, we have the trailer and that is what they used as the trailer.

Speaker 1: 1:06:38

Anyway, that private investigator, eugene Ingram, was the one that was when I was in the grocery store and I went to go pull out. He was laying behind my car on the ground laying in a a crouch, like in the fetal position, and as soon as I put the car in Reverse. I looked and I was like holy moly, what is that? And I put the car back into park and I got out and I was like are you crazy? Dude, get up. I got over, I got a backup cam on this thing. A maniac, anyway. I thought if I ran that dude over that would have been hardcore. Uh, local juice is it weird when people sexualize? You guys like that honestly sexualize. When have people's been, um, you know when people say, hey, hot stuff. Or you know, dude, I've been married to this broad for 30 years. I'm, you know, I'm like whatever yeah, I've been married to this.

Speaker 1: 1:07:33

I've been married to this gal for 30 years. Um, I don't, I don't really care about it. Um, I'm actually, you know, I'm, I'm cool. I don't care if somebody thinks anything that way, be a bit, I'm like awesome, good for you. That's amazing. Brett Grace Leah's tweet read. People's indifference about Scientology was so well said, but Aftermath series and SPTV are changing that. You can't be indifferent after watching you guys' content. Change is coming. Yeah, yes, that's the other thing, guys. Oh, it's Brett Grace, it is Space Cadet, space Cadet, brett. Right?

Speaker 1: 1:08:24

Yeah absolutely, I know what I'm talking about. I see, I see what's going on here.

Speaker 2: 1:08:27

I'm sorry, Brett Kelly had to dethrone you on that in this community.

Speaker 1: 1:08:30

I love that. But I, when I get the, I always like the newest, best thing. So when I get the new one, I'm like, oh, I like this one. Now, when we the person was saying about the Brett was talking about, with things changing, when we would do these shows, even the Leah show, the, the lawyers and the TV network and the producers and everybody is chopping up your story and they only want to tell the most sensational part or the most heart-wrenching part, or this part or that, it doesn't matter, it's not the whole story. So that's the reason why we like doing it this way.

Speaker 1: 1:09:09

If we can answer 100 questions and tell some stories, then you get. You get an idea of what's going on. I'll tell you even the hate videos that Scientology does on us. It's not even their full names. It's Quentin and Lisa and Stephanie and they don't even use their whole God dang name. So you know it's the transparency.

Speaker 1: 1:09:32

And also, they're on a set. They made a set. They're on a location. They're not in their basement and their listening room or in their office. They got dolled up and they got a super makeover to go sit on a set and try to think of some cracker licking stories to tell on camera. It's ridiculous. Fancy pants are in question. What trait do each of you love, appreciate most about the other? Agree about the wet cheddar cheese? It's absolutely white cheddar cheese. It's, um. We've been married for 30 years. We like, uh, I. I'm going to just say there's a lot of things about Claire that I like, I wouldn't, I don't, wouldn't. Know how to pick one trait, maybe that, uh, she, her one best trait is that she puts up with me. That's it.

Speaker 2: 1:10:16

Oh, aren't you sweet. My answer would be your sense of humor. Um, like it is. You know, you have to get through life. To get through the road bumps, you have to be able to have humor, and you have that in spades. So there you go. That's my answer.

Speaker 1: 1:10:37

Love it, love it. Donna Dwyer again recently discovered there are a couple of missions in North Carolina. If you know of anyone that needs help escaping, let me know. I'm here for you. Thank you, Donna. Awesome, you got to go to the aftermath site and go to volunteers tab and there and then you can put your name on a list and then that way we mark it, we there's a database that you get added to.

Speaker 2: 1:11:01

So we know in North Carolina you're the one to contact, but otherwise that email doesn't come to us and I you know a couple of people have reached out to let me know that they sent an email but didn't hear back. That's getting caught up. We notified the correct people, so if you haven't heard, you will hear. We appreciate it and we're gearing up to kind of accommodate everything as we grow.

Speaker 1: 1:11:24

Here's awesome you carrie says your book was the first Church of Scientology book I ever read. It was so entertaining and informative I almost didn't believe the reviews at first, but I'm glad I did such an amazing job. Yeah, you know, I just looked the other day. Thank you, carrie, I really appreciate that feedback. I just looked the other day. I used to have like 300, 300 reviews on blown for good on Amazon and I went there the other day and there's a lot more reviews and most of them are pretty good. So I was surprised actually. But yeah, there are some really good five star reviews on there that people like it. If you have read the book and you want to review it, just go over to Amazon, throw a review on there. It'll help out the book.

Speaker 1: 1:12:16

Oh, another book question how many BFG books have you sold? Go Nugs, yeah, go Nugs. I don't know. I don't know the current count. It's in the tens and tens of thousands. That's pretty good for a self-published book. I think we're up to. I want to say 40 to 50,000 books we've sold and there were also All formats.

Speaker 1: 1:12:36

Yeah, you got Kindle, audible, paperback, hardback and we also for a long time we had them on. Like, anywhere you can get a digital book. Kobo, sony, e-reader Smashwords. There was all different ways you could get a digital book. Kobo, sony e-reader uh, smash words. There was all different ways you could get digital books and they're all on there and, uh, so, yeah, we've, we've sold a bunch and, um, yeah, the book's done very well for itself.

Speaker 1: 1:13:00

Have you all seen the onions new story about tom cruising kidnapping shelly? Yes, I did see that. Thank you, heather. That was fun. It was on.

Speaker 1: 1:13:08

Um, yeah, it was shared all over twitter and facebook and it was pretty funny, mark Fisher. Hey, mark Fisher, if you haven't been over to Mark Fisher and Janice Gillum Grady's channel, I put a link in the description. They've got a new channel and they've got some cool stories over there. Over there, listening to Mark's book is like having him in front in the front seat of the car telling you his story. Yes, thank you, mark.

Speaker 1: 1:13:33

And, by the way, mark, I did want to say I did see your email. I'm sorry I didn't answer you. That was a very, very kind of you to say that about that. He sent me a whole book, whole email about him listening to the audio book and I really appreciate it. And he did mention it on um in one of their videos that I was in a live chat that was in there, he was talking about it and um. So yeah, uh, thank you for that, mark. I appreciate it, excuse me, says if you could lick the cracker and throw it away. I was a pastry chef for a bit and we did chew and spit when weight becomes problematic. Thank you, excuse me.

Speaker 2: 1:14:15

I'm part of the clean plate club, so wasting food just it's not my dna. No, poor kid eat all food organization.

Speaker 1: 1:14:20

Angela cully said just ordered my hoodie in pink. Yes, yay, I've got all the colors. I've got lots of colors. Angel Booster, can the merch store sell store mail? Can the merch store mail to Shetland Island, scotland? I think we can Now listen. The way this merch store works is that the products are locally produced in United States, canada, australia and England. So I'm pretty sure if you go in there you can order something and it will figure out what the nearest fulfillment is to you, and we specifically picked this store and the products based on that so we can order and make other merch that doesn't ship locally, and we're trying not to do that.

Speaker 2: 1:15:11

Yep.

Speaker 1: 1:15:13

Alexandra Kitsy. Hi, Mark Question Did you ever talk to Leah's people to make a Leah bobblehead? Yes, we sorted all that out and I was really thinking about doing a Leah bobblehead video to show you all the other video, all the other bobbleheads and the designs and everything, and then show you what we ended up with and then kind of update you where it is today and who's working on it. And I'm thinking, I'm thinking I might do that video pretty soon. We'll see. But yes, Alexander, it's, it's in the works now. We just haven't been able to get one that looks like we know we're getting we're on the right path.

Speaker 2: 1:15:50

It's just apparently becoming a life work for Mark and I to get a bobblehead that can be approved.

Speaker 1: 1:15:58

Yeah, we've been working on this bobblehead for years. Since Mike has had a bobblehead, we've been working on the Leah bobblehead, just so you know. Yes, so yeah, some things are starting a YouTube channel and a merch store and websites and companies much easier than making a bobblehead of Leah. Adam Masters, I was exchanging in abundance when I tried to give them the BFG book.

Speaker 2: 1:16:24

Thanks for the e-book oh, it's Adam, yes.

Speaker 1: 1:16:28

Good job, Aaron. Condition for exchange in Scientology is called exchange in abundance. Yes, Thank you. He gave away. He gave away his blown for and I sent him a. I sent him a Kindle. Dave Wilhauer. Two questions. Do they use real flush niacin in the purification rundown? Also, what if we as a group flooded the government with phone calls to get tax free status revoked, like Scientology did to get it back in the 80s? Yeah, there was.

Speaker 2: 1:17:11

I want to say I have a good answer to this though, mike. That's a really good feedback on what do specifically and rather than a template letter to like just a kind of listing of points, and Mike, over at Mike Rinder's blog dot org I think it is Mike Rinder's blogorg posted a whole thing about it. It was excellent feedback from one of our viewers who has worked in all the right places to give us really good direction. So that is, go check out that post because that will help. But yeah, that would definitely send some communication. And yes, they did use real flush niacin in the purification rundown and it's absolutely awful.

Speaker 1: 1:17:58

Yeah, I think I want to say I think Amy Scobie did a video and she said she was doing 5,000 milligrams of niacin every day for nine months yeah, that's brutal super bad for your liver, super bad for your whole system. I think um brett grace love how there was never any question that we were immediately claire bears, but it's been a process naming everyone else's fan groups, ha uh. Happy mother's day to claire. Yes, absolutely. Claire.

Speaker 1: 1:18:32

Claire bears have been around for years. Okay, I want to say Mike has called Claire Claire bear for like over a decade. Yeah, and I've called it.

Speaker 2: 1:18:43

A lot of other people have to call their Claire bear for periods as well.

Speaker 1: 1:18:48

Victory wise.

Speaker 2: 1:18:49

I was born a Claire bear and if you want to support me then I'm glad to have you. Thank you.

Speaker 1: 1:18:56

Yes, what is the difference between a super sticker and the other one? A super sticker is just. It's just a super sticker. You just pay and and they don't say anything. And then the other one is a super chat. And that's what you did, victoria. You did a super chat. Some people just want to see their name and they don't need a question answered or anything else, and some people want to see their name and they ask us about the other people that don't want to see their name. So you know who knows. Thank you for that, victoria, appreciate it. Pam says thanks for all you do. Love from Yorkshire, nice, wow, there's so many and we do get a lot of international viewers in here. Jld is me. Claire didn't give out your address. It was on the label of shipments from you.

Speaker 2: 1:19:46

Oh, there you go the way, sorry people are saying in the chat that I have VTs in my computer. I keep blinking. I can see it so. I'll figure that out, I did close the 200 windows that I had open when I jumped out. I accidentally closed myself out of the stream. I don't know. I'll reboot my computer.

Speaker 1: 1:20:09

Well, claire is part of the. If you're working on a Word document, then just leave Word open for the whole entire year until you're not doing Word documents, and then the other 77 programs that she uses, those are all open as well, and some of them are doing stuff, or there's a video or so. Yeah, so that. I'm just trying to perfect my multitasking skills okay I don't have a single thing running except for this stream right now because you're, you don't tap, I do of course she gets body.

Speaker 1: 1:20:43

The computer bts right when she tries to have a comeback. Um, I also don't call attention to them, so sometimes it's in the live but on the replay it processes that out. So it's not. I try not to call attention to it.

Speaker 1: 1:20:56

Can we create an SPTV lower condition for people who send in bobblehead pics and portrait? No, that's okay, they know. You think these people are sending these portrait. They know they're doing it. Just to wind me up, I've said don't do it. They're doing it and it's a good picture. So I got to show it, you know. Um, it's all good, I'm. I. I like to play fun, but keep it wide side to side. Thank you, erica.

Speaker 1: 1:21:25

Just got my giveaway bobble. You know, either a surgeon or a Scientology packed that thing. Mike arrived in perfect condition. Thanks Claire. Yeah, no, we really did spend a lot of time and attention getting the packaging right for that thing. And I want to say, in thousands and thousands of bobbleheads, I want to say we've had one or two that arrived with a head that was not part of the body anymore, but they have been very good. You know, with a head that was not part of the body anymore, but they do. They have been very good. We have a very like a less than 1% failure rate on. Those bubbles are very strong.

Speaker 1: 1:22:00

Denver Steve, oh, hey. Greetings from somewhere north east of Turtle Mountain, colorado. Hope you have a great weekend and a well-deserved Mother's Day. Love the new merch. Love Casey's smoke it intro. Love that Osa smells like poo. Thank you, denver Steve. Oh, denver Steve, oh, I sent him an email. I think we're going to have to get lunch. He lives down the street so we might have to meet up. He's a. He sent me all kinds of nonsense 900.

Speaker 2: 1:22:26

Hey, let me make a request. We end, can we play the Cracker?

Speaker 1: 1:22:32

Liquor video again. Yeah, we can play the Cracker. Liquor video again. Perfect I can't get enough of that it's so good.

Speaker 2: 1:22:38

Thank you, Kelly Copter.

Speaker 1: 1:22:39

It's on the channel now. So did I make it live? Oh, I didn't make it live. Let me see real quick.

Speaker 2: 1:22:54

Here answer the next question while I look here. Okay, jld is me 900 likes joke. Why can't you trust an adam? Because they make up literally everything next joke at 1000 likes oh boy, I love your jokes. Jld is me. I'm sorry, I can't help myself okay here we go.

Speaker 1: 1:23:07

She does jokes on other channels as well.

Speaker 2: 1:23:09

Yeah, ruth is in the house. I hope people understand how hard it can be for someone who spent decades inside to talk to people you know and tell them. Maybe it's me, but not easy. Thanks to you guys, I've done it twice. Love you both. Thank you, ruth, we appreciate you being here and I absolutely agree, and yes, I think the tendency at least speaking for myself personally, I wanted to follow up, lock it away, and that's not a good idea. It's better to share and talk and work through it.

Speaker 2: 1:23:41

So there you go nice all right, yes, lisa, march banks, dragonfish, handmade goods. We need sp tv. We have that coming. We didn't want to jump the gun, given that Aaron and Mike have stores coming as well. We already have a collection. We'll put them live at the same time with each of our favorite SPTV logos that we like to use. So there will be different ones across all the channels and then some of the same with the caricatures and all that stuff. So we have that coming, thank you.

Speaker 1: 1:24:12

Yes, we do. Lydia Von Stretch, claw. Yes, need rat coffee. Merch rat tail handle.

Speaker 2: 1:24:20

Oh, that's a good idea.

Speaker 1: 1:24:22

That might be a little tough with the, the, the, the template of products we have, but we will figure something out. And if you have a design, what you know, all a lot of the merch that we have is from, uh, people who watch the chant, viewers, um, the. A viewer made this artwork. We didn't. We didn't make this. Somebody that was a viewer made this artwork. So if you, if you send me a picture, um of a rat, uh, on your on a tile, I'm not going to be able to make some merch out of that. But if you know your way around some graphic design and you send us something that is in the proper graphic design format and file type and all that and it's high quality and it looks great and I like it, we're going to use it. Or if Claire likes it, we'll use it.

Speaker 1: 1:25:10

I don't know, james, I'm in the government, specifically uh, law enforcement, in a city with an org 45 minutes north of lexington, kentucky. I'm watching. Unfortunately, I can't do much from here. I'm confused. At the org, even as public, it's always empty. Yeah, the main places where, um, there are scientology communities is where most of the abuse and the criminal activity is happening. You're talking about um los angeles clear water. Maybe in the uk where saint hill is, maybe where the advanced organizations are in different places.

Speaker 2: 1:25:47

But that's really about springs in the cST base.

Speaker 1: 1:25:50

Yeah, and the the Sea work bases. That's usually where there's like some kind of shady stuff going on, and wherever they're taking in money is usually where the financial crimes are. And then you just have Scientologist on Scientologist crime. That happens that Scientology is constantly trying to cover up and make sure they're not going to catch too much shrapnel from Scientologists like Grant Cardone, gary Cardone and who else there was another guy down there's a bunch of chiropractors that have been ripping and there's there's a lot of Scientology insurance fraud and cases like that that are going on. So, yeah, it's all good. We're just we're trying to get the word out and we're also trying to make it so like if a politician gets duped into fronting for Scientology, we're trying to make it enough content out there that it'd be like, seriously, dude, all you had to do was Google Scientology and you would have found that you're about to get duped into doing some shady stuff for Scientology. It's almost to the point where you can't really pretend you can't play the ignorant card anymore. Yep, pdd, tc and DM relationship seems too incestuous as criminal as things are there. Tc and DM relationship seems too incestuous as criminal as things are there. Do you think TC is hiding some of his money in Scientology and backs the church so much because he won't, can't be able to get it back Otherwise. No, that dude has more money than God. I don't think.

Speaker 1: 1:27:21

I don't think Tom Cruise is way past the point of worrying about money. He's probably made I mean, his movies of grace. His movies have grossed billions of dollars. He's not hurting for cash. He could give $100 million to Scientology and it wouldn't even make a dent. So I'm not sure.

Speaker 1: 1:27:43

I think Tom Cruise and David Miscavige, they love bomb each other. I think that's kind of the way, that relation. I bet you they're like no, I love you, I love bomb each other. I think that's kind of the way, that relation there. I bet you they're like no, I love you, I love you bro. No, I love you bro. No, I love you bro. No, I love you bro. I guarantee you it's like one of those things. Denver Stevo, wait, there's more. Visit Denver Stevo and click things so you're in the loop. On May 27th, when we legit launch, we will have Mark and Claire on soon. Pretty pleased guys. Hail Zunu, the father, the creator, the homeboy. Yeah, denver Stevo, let's have lunch. Okay, let's start there. People are starting channels, and they weren't even in Scientology. They're just like I just want to start a channel, so, uh, yeah, it's all good he has some great content on there already.

Speaker 2: 1:28:36

Yeah, I'm sure it will be good. But yeah, it would be nice to um have a face to the name before we're like agreeing to be interviewed. Right, we at least want to know where it's headed.

Speaker 1: 1:28:46

Yes, matrix tech solutions. Super sticker matrix tech solutions. I don't think they've ever done a super chat. It's headed yes, matrix tech solutions. Super sticker matrix tech solutions. I don't think they've ever done a super chat. It's always a super sticker and it's on a bunch of different channels. Thank, you name ever thank you, matrix tech solutions yes, um g house long time. First time I was wondering if there was any celebrity that really surprised you when they escaped. Keep up the good work.

Speaker 2: 1:29:14

Hmm, well, leah.

Speaker 1: 1:29:16

Leah was definitely like what.

Speaker 2: 1:29:19

Yeah, and even the fact that not only did she get out, but then I mean she absolutely changed the narrative in regards to Scientology in public opinion. From my perspective, 100%. People used to say, oh, scientology, that's just that crazy thing of Tom Cruise jumping up and down on the couch. And Leah changed it 100% to no. This is what actually goes on in Scientology to millions of people. So yeah that would be my answer.

Speaker 1: 1:29:54

Yeah, I think that's good that was. I didn't see that one coming. She was a true believer and her whole family were, and she had to get her whole family out.

Speaker 2: 1:30:02

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:30:02

And I know they lost some relatives and good friends. But she did a good job getting the whole family out, which is sort of a slam dunk in the leaving Scientology department Dalton Carter Mark what flavor? Are you drinking, dalton? I'm drinking the grim leafer. This is a liquid death grim leafer. This, this channel, is not sponsored by liquid death, but I sure spend enough that they should. And I do drink, oh my gosh, even Claire's drinking severed lime. Yes, thank you Dalton. We know Dalton.

Speaker 2: 1:30:35

Take care of your special lady Dalton. We love her. She's got a special lady friend that does some stuff for us.

Speaker 1: 1:30:41

Do you guys like Tony Ortega, or is he in the same category as Marty? No, listen, guys. Tony Ortega is a journalist. He's not an ex Scientologist. Um, he is probably a declared suppressive by science. Scientology 100% consider him a suppressive person. Um, tony Ortega has had been fair gamed. Um, a lot compared to somebody who's never been in Scientology. Um, he's been fair gamed a lot compared to one of us. He's even been fair game to good amount. They've hacked his email, they've sent people to his work, his wife's work, they've messed with his job. You know people, employers, whatever but at the end of the day, he's a journalist. So he's going to do what you know. He's a journalist. If you talk to him, if you talk to Tony, he's probably going to publish what you talk about because he's a journalist.

Speaker 1: 1:31:34

Now, I don't. I wasn't involved in the thing that happened between him and Aaron and between whoever else. I know all I know. I see everything that happens. I know what's going on, but there was times when the only person who would talk about Scientology was Tony Ortega. He may have had, you know, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000 blog visitors or viewers, or whatever it was, and if you wanted to get your story out. That's who you talk to. So I think now that that's not the case. People are doing their own thing and that's what we're doing. I don't have anything necessarily. I know Tony and I've had dinner with Tony and I've visited with Tony and he's visited with me and he's. You know, we went to Going Clear premiere and Sundance.

Speaker 2: 1:32:26

I did that whole Going Up the Bridge series with him in 2014.

Speaker 1: 1:32:33

I mean.

Speaker 2: 1:32:33

Yeah. So I'm just saying we have the same goals, we can figure out how to get to the same place we're all trying to expose scientology.

Speaker 1: 1:32:38

Some of us are doing it in different ways, so I hope that answers the question. Pokey sd, you should make a channel that is a sp tv channel guide. That is just a repeating scroll of the sp tv channels, like the cable channel guide. Endless possibilities here. That's not a bad idea, pokey SD. Now that you say that we should look into that, I think that might not be a bad idea.

Speaker 2: 1:33:02

That is a great idea.

Speaker 1: 1:33:04

Earl Gleeson, can you clarify the Church Scientology position on disability? Yeah, if you're disabled and you're in the Sea Org, then they will, and this is just based on the stories of the people that we've helped. They will, if they can. They will get credit cards from the elderly. The elderly people that are in the Sea Org will get credit cards and those credit cards will get paid the minimum interest payment. They'll use that person's disability payment to pay those credit cards and they will tell this is just based on our experiences recently with people that we've helped.

Speaker 1: 1:33:47

I want to clarify that because I'm not just making this up. This has happened to multiple people that we have talked to. They take that disability payment and they put it towards the credit card payments and they tell this person that they will get auditing or some sort of Scientology counseling or something to help it so they can get over whatever disability, like if they fainted because they can't work long hours or they have cancer or they have whatever they have. Scientology counseling is going to fix that and they get that person to pay for that. Tens of thousands or in some cases, many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars they will take from this person for Scientology counseling, knowing that they're going to pass away any second, and then that'll be that and the credit card debt will go away, and meanwhile Scientology keeps all that money.

Speaker 2: 1:34:48

Like we just got a new story about that the other day, about an 80 year old woman that's still in and she's she's seventy five thousand dollars in debt. Yeah, it's, it's, it's criminal.

Speaker 1: 1:35:00

Yeah, so that's their position on disability Maximize how they can benefit from that person's disability. Pretend that they're going to help that person with their disability and then they just wait for the clock to run out.

Speaker 2: 1:35:15

Yep.

Speaker 1: 1:35:16

So hopefully we get a hold of them before that and we can turn back the clock a little bit for them, like we have done. Apollonia Paradise Yesterday's New York Mag had a story about DM disappearing to avoid getting served Awesome, yeah, that's the other thing. If you've got 25 channels on YouTube dunking on Scientology full time, it gives these publication, these other channels, a little bit more cojones to do something. Evidently we're seeing more and more stories, so hopefully it's because they know Scientology just threatens legal. They don't ever do it.

Speaker 1: 1:35:55

Eg Johnson, at 2000 hours, you both were declared by me to be impressive persons. We need to do a meet and greet somewhere in Clearwater. We've done meet and greets, we've done them in Clearwater. We've done them in Los Angeles, we've done them in Denver. So we'll see. I don't know, we used to do it when it was just, you know, underground Bunker or Anonymous or whatever the latest Scientology expose club was. But we could do one in. I think Clearwater would probably be the one. Then people could go there for vacation. We could do one in Denver too. We'll see, we'll see, we'll definitely open. Oh, bella P. Can you find that Bella P one? I clicked hide instead of show Local Juice, it was a super chat. Best cherry on top for watching you guys is the Depeche Moding. Absolutely Thank you. Local Juice, can we call?

Speaker 2: 1:37:09

Miss Gabbage, danger Mouse, you can call him whatever you want. Danger Mouse is fun. We are getting down. I'm getting through these questions, guys. I'm trying to go fast. Valerie Bulljack, claire, how do you think Shelly would feel if she knew how many people in the world care about her and want to know she is safe? Well, hopefully we one of these days we can find out and we'll keep going and keep talking about this and keep demanding answers until we know.

Speaker 1: 1:37:18

Yes, franny Galanders. Leah mentioned once that GT can have people murdered. Is this true? Does TC have the same power? What? There's no way that happened. There's no way.

Speaker 2: 1:37:35

I've never heard that. Send it to us if that's the case, yeah there's no way.

Speaker 1: 1:37:38

We'll figure out, even if she said that JT's not Between TC and JT. I think JT is John Travolta. John Travolta is the nice one of the two of them. He really genuinely believes Scientology has helped him and he doesn't want to hear anything bad about anyone who's helped him. So he just ignores it all. Tom Cruise knows that he is one of the three most superior beings that have ever roamed this planet L Ron Hubbard, david Miscavige and Tom Cruise.

Speaker 1: 1:38:09

That's what Tom Cruise knows. So Hubbard, david Miscavige and Tom Cruise that's what Tom Cruise knows. So he's I don't know. Anyway, robert King, tom Cruise and Shakira oh, that pearl girl. I think that might be clickbait because if you look, every single time Tom Cruise has gotten a new lady friend. She's been 13 years younger than the previous lady friend and shakira is not 13 years younger than his most recent lady friend. So I don't think I mean maybe he's breaking the mold, but I doubt it. I seriously. And if shakira, I mean her hips don't lie. So I don't know what, I don't know if her face lies, but uh, uh, I'm not sure how she could hook up with tom.

Speaker 2: 1:38:57

She doesn't need the dough yeah, I'm not sure how to find that bella comment sorry, bella oh, it was a with a question yeah, it was a whole thing if you can just put it in the, not as a super chat. Just put it in the chat and I'll try and catch it.

Speaker 1: 1:39:14

Yeah, we have so many comments, guys. I'm trying to catch up.

Speaker 2: 1:39:16

We have 2,300 people here. Thanks for watching. Don't forget to like and subscribe.

Speaker 1: 1:39:21

Yeah, oh and the um, because we've been getting more subscribers and we've been getting a lot of likes and comments on the videos. The notifications are going out when we do a video. They go out right when the video happens for most people. I've been subscribing to the channel on other logons and other accounts to see and all my subscriptions are getting notifications. Like if we start a video at six o'clock, I get a notification at six o'clock. It doesn't let you know ahead of time always, but it does let you know when the video fires up.

Speaker 2: 1:39:54

Gary Jackson. Sorry, let me just comment. Somebody said in the comment I think what Leah was referring to was the status in Scientology, referred to as Ka-Kan. Oh, yes, where somebody can get away with murder. That is what the Hubbard policy states.

Speaker 1: 1:40:09

That's true, and I think John Travolta was assigned Kakan by Hubbard himself, but but it's it's more like you could do what Danny Masterson did and get away with that. That's really. I mean Hubbard did say get away with murder, but I mean no one's ordering murders. That's not happening. Gary Jackson Moorhead that I know of, we all know how wicked Philly Applebox boy gets when DM Masterson is now publicly mixed with his years and years nickname of DM. I know, I know I love tickling your bowl of Froot Loops, davey, tinkling in your bowl of Froot Loops. Oh my God. There is a relevation from Gary Moorhead on one of the when is Shelly videos. Was it an interview that you did with him?

Speaker 2: 1:41:07

Yep.

Speaker 1: 1:41:08

You know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 2: 1:41:09

Yep.

Speaker 1: 1:41:10

There is a relevation Revelation Yep.

Speaker 2: 1:41:11

There is a revelation, revelation, revelation that's coming up.

Speaker 1: 1:41:14

Yes, that is sort of I've never heard this.

Speaker 2: 1:41:18

Mind-blowing.

Speaker 1: 1:41:19

I've never heard this before, and Gary witnessed it firsthand, and I think for SeaWorld members this revelation is going to be mind-blowing, and so if you're a Sea Org member and it answers a lot of questions too.

Speaker 1: 1:41:35

It answers so many questions. So if you're a Sea Org member and you're watching this channel, you've got to hit subscribe Because Claire is going to do a video. It's going to come out with Jackson, it's going to blow your mind and it's going to answer so many things. Yes, kimberly Stavall just ordered a tea. Love you guys. Oh, so join us. Yeah, get in there, the BFG merch store. If you're a subscriber, you get a. Uh, get a discount. Over on the community page there's a discount promo code for you guys.

Brett, grace, you guys know you're the definition of relationship goals, right, I read and listened. I read and listened to blown for good and bald both times. Well, thank you, brett, I appreciate it. I, brett, thank you for all the super chats and the videos you sent in and all the creative stuff you've done. We love it. Um, earl Gleason, nine 99. I forgot about the 30%.

Speaker 1: 1:42:28

Take my previous question, reese COS position on disability. My research shows I'm wasted space per LRH, but I was born this way. Yeah, I see what you're saying he's talking about. I'm sorry, earl Gleason, he's talking about a person with a disability, not someone who's on disability In the United States. If you are on disability, it just means you're getting help from the government because you just need some extra help.

Speaker 1: 1:43:12

Scientology does consider anyone who has any kind of physical impairment or a disability or any kind of psychological or mental problem, that person is. As Earl stated, they're just a waste of space. They're not even Scientology doesn't even try to go after them or try to get them into Scientology. Because they believe they are. They're just lower life forms. They were born either suppressive or PTS and they're not even worth dealing with.

Speaker 1: 1:43:40

And we're going to have a story come out either in the next few weeks and it is a story of somebody who had a disability and then, in Scientology, had an even further disability because of science I want to argue, because of contributed to at least by Scientology, and then they threw that person away like trash. And that person actually was, is in the middle of getting aftermath assistance and this story was is in the middle of getting aftermath assistance and this story, um, if this story doesn't resonate with you, then I'm going to literally order you to unsubscribe and stop watching this story. There's no, if you're a human, you ain't. Uh, you're going to resonate with this story. I predict that. Um, thank you, earl. I appreciate that. Sorry, I didn't understand the earlier question, earl, but I get it now. Carmen Noseworthy. What's the coffee rat story Video link. This is another video that I haven't personally seen that somebody wrote in about. It might even be the same woman who did the cracker licking video. I don't remember it was.

Speaker 1: 1:44:47

She said not only did I lick a cracker and give it to her, or a bunch of crackers or something, but that, um, that I had a rat in a coffee cup and I and the tail was coming out of like the little sip place or out the lid or something. And then I offered her a drink of that which, if you know me, I ain't touching nothing with a rat in it or on it or around it or anything. I am not a fan of rats.

Speaker 2: 1:45:16

To be fair, you weren't even a fan of coffee until two years ago.

Speaker 1: 1:45:22

That's true. I didn't drink coffee until we went to Paris a few years ago and I was drinking espresso every morning. And then when I got back to Colorado I was like, ah, I'd get a headache if I don't drink my my morning coffee. But even then I have a cup in the morning. And this started two years ago. I I didn't. I have never liked coffee in my in my sewer career I don't think I drank a cup of coffee.

Speaker 2: 1:45:47

Yeah, so to answer your question, carmen, it's from one of Scientology's utterly ridiculous videos that nobody watches.

Speaker 1: 1:45:57

And the people that do watch a lot of times come over here and tell us about them and how ridiculous they were.

Speaker 2: 1:46:03

And then we get to make fun little trailers that completely and utterly laugh out loud at them.

Speaker 1: 1:46:09

Yeah, so it is what it is, guys. Yeah, sciento, that's how scientology plays. They do videos about you putting a rat in a coffee cup, like, oh, we stole 150 000 from an elderly woman and on her credit cards and put her in an old folks home and waited for her to die so we could spend the money. But you put a rat in a coffee cup.

Speaker 2: 1:46:31

But you licked a cracker. Maybe Pete can do a version of there's a rat in the kitchen. What am I going? To do. There's a rat in the coffee.

Speaker 1: 1:46:40

Oh my goodness, Andy, fabulous, I got my book two days ago. You were underselling yourself when you said you really screwed up your blow. The Three Stooges did a better blow. Oh yeah, oh my God, andy, when I escaped, when I escaped, I, I, I. The night before you can read about in the book. But the night before I tried to get a hold of Claire and get her to come home, say listen, hon, I'm out. That's it this is?

Speaker 2: 1:47:08

you didn't say that to me. You just said are you coming home? And you were planning to have that conversation. That's right.

Speaker 1: 1:47:20

So I packed my stuff. I had a. I had a thumb drive. Guys, this is the most crazy part of this whole thing. I had a thumb drive that was David Miscavige's personal photo archives and I had cherry picked it Him with Tom Cruise and David Beckham, him in Alaska snowmobiling, him scuba diving Like personal personal photos of the extravagant lifestyle that David Miscavige lives, while Sea Oak members are getting, if they're lucky, 45 bucks a week Eating beans and rice and all this other not sleeping in a dorm with 47 other dudes. Anyway, I left that thumb drive on our bed or on the ironing board or something in my room.

Speaker 1: 1:48:05

But what happened was I was waiting for Claire to come home and I fell asleep. And so the next morning I woke up to a security guard knocking on my door and he was like hey, you're supposed to be in. I was like oh no, they told me I was going to get a sec check today, so I needed to be studentable. The security guy's like no, you don't need to be studentable, you need to get in. So I was like okay, fine, fine, I'll come in, I'll come in.

Speaker 1: 1:48:31

Meanwhile, motorcycles in the garage. They didn't even know I had the motorcycle at the house. They thought my motorcycle was at the property because I was walking to and from the property to not let them on to the fact that my motorcycle was at my house in the garage and they didn't know that. So I was basically going to be restricted to the property. If I went back to the property, which was a five minute walk from my house, I would never be able to get out of that property and I was supposed to go to the RPF for embezzling $250, which now they're up to like 47,000 or whatever.

Speaker 2: 1:49:12

But and don't forget, you try to go get your back pay that they owed you to say, OK, here's $250. And they're like no, no, no, you committed financial irregularities. You need to join the. What is it? The walking dead the walking dead is the direct quote from the Hubbard is it? The walking dead. The walking dead is the direct quote from the Hubbard policy. Join the walking dead. You're going to the rehabilitation project for us tomorrow morning and you're like, oh no, I'm not.

Speaker 1: 1:49:39

Yeah, so there was a guy that lived next to me. His name was Rick Cruzan and actually my sister lived in the same house as Rick Cruzan, which was right next door, and this was right next to the base property along this road called Sublet Road, which they've bulldozed. All these houses, but any any story that I have told of a house or someplace on the property where dastardly things happen, they just bulldozed it. They erased it from history. But when this guy, rick Cruzan, lived next door and he had escaped like four or five times, and so there was a and he was in a whole bunch of, he was in a whole mess of trouble, and so there was a security truck waiting outside his house for him to go into work. And so when I drove up on my motorcycle with a suitcase bungee strap to the back of it, they were like oh, hedley's on the roll, hedley's on the move, we got to go after him. So they were following me on my escape. Two seconds after I escaped it was like oops, guess that didn't go like I planned.

Speaker 1: 1:50:49

Jay Dice, her last boyfriend, cheated. Oh, shakira needs a soft pill to fall on, and that could be, tom says. Source tab loads are cray cray TC, a healthy person to recover. No, that is not a rebound uh that you want to be on because he's going to use the, the scientology uh mind on her and be like, oh, scientology, the reason your boyfriend uh cheated on you is because he was a suppressive person and uh, oh yeah. No, I don't think so, though sometimes the tabloids get it right. Sometimes the tabloids get it wrong. Um, thank you, jay diceice. Dom's mom 725,. Would love some kind of merch Listening to BFG on Audible and love that you narrated it. Good stuff, keep doing what you guys do. Thank you, dom's mom. We appreciate it. Luis Gilberto, we know Osa's watching. They're the ones begging for free clothes, hoodies. Merch, merch, merch.

Speaker 1: 1:51:49

That would be so funny if somebody from OSA won Adam flag girl 38, adm flag girl 38. Hello, claire and Mark, thank you for all you do. Have you seen what Leah posted about the link that Masterson Sawyer included in the DA? Oh my gosh, yes, I did see that thread. I retweeted it on Twitter. If you haven't seen that, it's amazing. She kind of laid out this whole thing. But yeah, scientology has met. I mean, I don't want to knock on wood, I don't want to jinx anything, but Scientology has bucked this thing up pretty well in terms of this trial. We don't want to really talk about it that much with Claire.

Speaker 2: 1:52:36

But yeah, it's a bunch of nonsense.

Speaker 1: 1:52:38

I don't know, james, I know I'm a law nerd.

Speaker 2: 1:52:39

I will super chat E, d, b, oh Emily.

Speaker 1: 1:52:40

Emily, okay, emily D Baker, oh, okay, good, oh, I'm a law nerd. I will super chat E D B. Worth the try, would be fascinating. Bought the giveaway book, by the way. Hope it works.

Speaker 2: 1:52:51

Oh, awesome. Thank you, nice.

Speaker 1: 1:52:51

Thank you, we'll let you know. Yes, absolutely, erica. Scwta Super Sticker. Thank you, erica KCG. Your thoughts on Tony Ortega twist? Yeah, it's unfortunate that Tony kind of got involved in this because he had talked to one of the Jane Does and it's just. That's the thing. It's just a little. It's save the drama for your mama. That's what I say. I'm not. You know, some people are here to watch them unfold the drama. But the drama shouldn't be between the people trying to let you know about the drama. The drama should be about Scientology and how they mess this person up and how we helped them. The drama shouldn't be between me and Claire or me and Mike or Aaron and Claire or Aaron and Mike, or Tony and Aaron, or we were.

Speaker 1: 1:53:41

We want to like cohesive. What do you call it? United front? Come on, ken's channel BFG page doesn't have a link to your store. If you need help, I'm the guy that made what is SPTV in about two hours I can talk you through. If it's making the BFG site like, why do we even have it? We'll make links to books and SPTV channels and we'll do that kind of stuff over on the Blown for Good page and we will put a link from there to our store. Thank you, ken.

Speaker 1: 1:54:23

Miss Kim, only email I could find was for Aftermath. I wasn't sure I should use it. This has blown up so fast. It's been great to watch it's becoming a movement. Yeah, miss Kim, email Claire at blownforgoodcom or go to the About page on the YouTube channel with a computer, not a phone, and there is a email link on the About page. It says contact the channel Toby F. Congrats on 2,200 views, nice, oh, wow, we're up to almost 2,400 right now, nice, and we're at the last of the questions and we're going to do that giveaway. Congrats, thank you.

Speaker 1: 1:55:00

And Angel Hugger, sptv dog slash pet merch. Where is Shelly dog merch? Yeah, so far the fulfillment company doesn't do any dog toys. We will ask them, but Claire's got a really good line to them already, so we'll ask them hey, what about doing some some pet friendly merch? Because evidently we have a lot of pet people in here and we're super pet people. Kelly totally dethroned me with her new intro. I loved it. One of the best things about SPTV is the creative, collaborative vibe, more the merrier. Yeah, I'm 100% about community um involvement. So that's why we try to answer all these questions and we answer non-super chats and we use, we show pictures and shoops and uh, mike, bobblehead pics. If you want us to have some merch and you have a great idea, send it.

Speaker 2: 1:55:55

Yeah, and Brett Kelly said that your trailer was so awesome that she had FOMO and she had to do one like right away.

Speaker 1: 1:56:03

That's right. Kelly only did it because of your intro, brett, so she saw yours and was like I need to make one. Chad says have you thought about releasing a second book with the material you had cut to get under 400 pages? I have, and my second book will 100% have those stories in it.

Speaker 2: 1:56:24

Okay, and you also did you already did an outline for another book of everything that happened after I left, which was, in its old way, crazy, crazy, crazy stuff.

Speaker 1: 1:56:36

Yeah, Casey Isaac. Cassie, come on now, my birthday is Monday and I'm going to treat myself to some BFT Mark. That's awesome, Cassie, Is it Cassie? Cassie, I'm so bad. Um, Kathy. Kindle version of book ended before Claire blue. What? No, that's not. That's not even possible. Is that possible?

Speaker 2: 1:57:04

I don't think so, but I'll look at it.

Speaker 1: 1:57:06

No, there's no way it ended before Claire blue. The ending is Claire blowing. That is the end.

Speaker 2: 1:57:14

Yeah.

Speaker 1: 1:57:16

I will check that, but I'm pretty sure we would have.

Speaker 2: 1:57:19

You think we would have heard about that since 2009 mentioned Somebody once mentioned that there that some part of it was cut off. So I downloaded it at that time, which was like two or three months ago, and at least on my kindle the whole thing came through to the very end. So, um, yeah, maybe send us a screenshot or something and we can figure out what platform is you know what can go from there?

Speaker 1: 1:57:45

yes, little little, lgit little. Uh. Claire, I've sent you emails about the dirty cracker liquor website transfer. Did you get them?

Speaker 2: 1:57:55

Yes, I did. I will get back to you this weekend, I promise.

Speaker 1: 1:57:59

Oh, my goodness, lydia Von stretch, call Any hopes of a special suppressive pup TV live. Um, claire, claire can do that as like a story, you could do stories on the channel. You can do that. If you go into the app you could do like behind the scenes with the SP pets or the suppressive pup. Thank you, tarkina.

Speaker 1: 1:58:22

Again we need a Claire Bear teddy bear on the store in the BFG shirts. Okay, claire, you got to talk to your design people about getting BFG shirts. Okay, Claire, you got to talk to your uh, your design people about getting some Claire bear merch. Okay, did everyone else here, mark, asked me out. By the way, mark, I'm jealous of your in-ear monitors. Osa, equal poo smell. Hail Zinu hoodie is now in route. Awesome. Thank you, denver. Steve, I appreciate it. Um, yeah, I do love these. Uh, these are sure it. Um, yeah, I do love these. Uh, these are sure, um, they're sure in-ear headphones and they are nice. Um, one of the guy, the guy tom segura on your mom's house, has these and that's how I tracked them down.

Speaker 1: 1:59:00

Sptv tattoo warrior. I wonder about the number of x. Scientology to never ends. Um, oof, I'll say I don't want to say it's half and half, but there are a lot of ex-scientology. I mean we're hearing from tons. We're hearing from people that we haven't heard their names in 20 years. So yeah, we are hearing from a lot of people. Any hebrew news if you ever hear, can you tell us how he is? Yeah, the last I heard he was um getting up there and I think he was either they had moved him doing into a home or he was about to be moved into a home or put somewhere because he was just getting too old to put up with all the nonsense in the Sea Org USP TV. People are great. To keep up the great work.

Speaker 2: 1:59:41

Thank you, oh awesome, no more cults, thank you awesome.

Speaker 1: 1:59:46

Yes, frannie Gillanders, she said it on. Joe Rogan called it Kakan. Yeah, it is called Kakan. I know what you're talking about with Leah, but L Ron Hubbard said you could get away with murder. But I have never heard of a celebrity or somebody who was Kakan, either committing or like putting a hit out. That's what I'm saying. But yes, I get that. She said you could get away with murder. I get that and I get that. It's called Kakan.

Speaker 1: 2:00:17

Nba26, at 30, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It's the one often called juvenile and is insulin dependent. I wear a pump and continuous glucose monitor on body 24-7. It was awful mentally. What would have been like for me in Scientology? Oh, they would have thrown you out of the Sea Org for sure.

Speaker 1: 2:00:36

And I don't know about I don't know anybody MB in terms of that has had diabetes and had to have that as a full-time thing. I'm not, I'm not sure. Should ask if you were in Scientology and you're insulin dependent and you've had to have a glucose monitor or you have to get shots or whatever. Write to us and tell us how that works. There's no way you could be in the Sea Org like that.

Speaker 1: 2:01:03

That I know of, I did not know of a single Sea Org member that had a monitor that they had to wear. I know that, debbie Hughes, which was married to a guy named Greg Hughes. They used to be at one of these Scientology management companies that would consult, a consultancy company that would help your business, or if you're a chiropractor or dentist or whatever, they give you some Scientology courses on how to grow your practice. And I knew that she was diabetic and she had some really close calls and, to be honest, claire and I kind of consulted ourselves to her family members and how they got her out and they did get their mom and dad out and I forgot about that.

Speaker 1: 2:01:52

Remember that.

Speaker 2: 2:01:53

Yes.

Speaker 1: 2:01:54

It was when, um, we, a bunch of people were going to be on this Anderson Cooper show and we told this girl, we said, hey, tell Scientology if they don't let your mom and dad out. Uh, she's going to be on an Anderson Cooper. And they were gone, they were out of the Sea Org like really quick, and they were undeclared and everything went fine, so yeah, scientology. That wasn't an accident, scientology yeah.

Speaker 2: 2:02:21

So since I recently studied, pulled out all I had to excerpt a whole ton of Hubbard writings. I'm going to read the Kaukhan one really quickly, okay.

Speaker 1: 2:02:32

Okay.

Speaker 2: 2:02:32

It says, In an ancient army, a particularly brave deed was recognized by an award of the title of Kaukhan. It was not a rank. The person remained what he was, but he was entitled to be forgiven the death penalty ten times in case in the future he did anything wrong. That was a Kaukhan. That's what producing high-statistic staff members are caw-cons. They can get away with murder without a blink from ethics. There you go, Hubbard's words.

Speaker 1: 2:03:00

Yes, Fifi Tinkerbell, thank you for the super sticker. Hey guys love you both. Claire, I live in Brighton, UK. Guess what church is here?

Speaker 2: 2:03:11

Yes, so I went to primary school in Rottingdean, which is just a stone's throw from Brighton.

Speaker 1: 2:03:19

There you go. Youtube Shorts might be a good place to dose highlights, suppressive pup peeks, random viewer videos and pics, especially outtakes from cracker licking reviews. Yeah, I think it might be. So we're going to. I think Claire's going to be our uh, claire's going to man up the shorts department with some of her team, with some of her creative team.

Speaker 2: 2:03:44

Yeah, we, we. We had a strategy meeting this afternoon. Folks, Good stuff coming.

Speaker 1: 2:03:48

Amanda Campbell if you're a big donor, a celeb, and marry a non Scientologist, will they rush you up the bridge? You know it depends. Sometimes that could go both ways, like when Tom Cruise married Nicole Kidman, she almost got him out of Scientology. Like she came this close to getting him out of Scientology, this close to getting him out of Scientology, and if they didn't have spies in Nicole's camp and in Tom's camp she might have done it, she might have gotten him out. But they had so many spies up in there and they started planting seeds of doubt and all sorts of nonsense and they were able to bust it up. So it could go both ways. It could go both ways.

Speaker 1: 2:04:29

Franny Galanders lost a family member to Scientology literally they were in church for 30 years and now has Alzheimer's. So sad I will never have my cousin back. Yeah, I know. That's why we do these videos, because if you do have a relative in, or even if you have somebody who's interested in getting into Scientology or maybe is going to join the Sea Org and you send them a video, it could take one video and that person might be like I don't know about this. And also, once you go down that Scientology rabbit hole. It's hard not to watch another video and another crazy video, especially if you know a little bit about it. So thank you, frannie, I appreciate it. Yeah.

Speaker 1: 2:05:13

Maggie $20. Shout out Happy Mother's Day, Sharon. Both of us love you, claire. We love the other guy that says stuff on the right side of our screens too.

Speaker 2: 2:05:25

Thank you, Maggie. Thank you, Maggie we seriously love everybody in this community. It's such it's. It's amazing and you know what? If we can educate people and spread the word, that it makes makes it all worthwhile for us. So we appreciate you being here.

Speaker 1: 2:05:40

Yes, and there's. Don't think it's lost on me. I look at the analytics of the channel Claire's on here because you guys want to see her. I can see which video she's in and what views they get and which videos are just me and what they get, and so that's why there's a lot of videos with Claire and not so many with just me.

Speaker 2: 2:06:00

Well, you always say teamwork makes the dream work. Yes, so here we are folks Victoria says.

Speaker 1: 2:06:06

Victoria says yes, claire, I know Rottingdean, I'll take some pictures of Brighton in 2023 and email them to you.

Speaker 2: 2:06:13

Nice, yeah, the St Mary's building in Rottingdean, for some reason, which I don't know, cause I was six years old, but that's where the UK management organization was for a while and that's where I knew Robin Scott, for example, who is a long, you know, has. Anyway, he's long gone and an ex Scientologist. But anyway, there you go.

Speaker 1: 2:06:36

Mary, you have to you to have great chemistry together. Thanks for all you do. Thank you, mary, appreciate it. Thank you. So JT is now an OT seven. I think he is. He might even be OTA by now, but I know he was on OT seven for a long time. I don't know if he is. Wait a minute, it says no. So JT is now a double oh, double, oh seven.

Speaker 2: 2:07:02
