Blown for Good: Scientology Exposed
Marc Headley worked at Scientology’s secret desert compound, which houses all Scientology management, for 15 years. The 500-acre property is located deep in the California desert. The local townspeople were told lectures and films were made there. But is that all that was happening? It is the location of a multi-million dollar home for L. Ron Hubbard, built two decades after his death. It is the home of Scientology’s current leader, David Miscavige. So what really happens at the Int Base? Are the stories on the internet true? How does Scientology conduct management of its day-to-day operations? Could stories of armed guards, weapons, staff beatings, and razor wire fences be true? If so, how could a facility like this exist in modern-day America? Hundreds of staff tried to escape over the years. Some succeeded but were never seen or heard of again, and most failed. Why were people kept here? What really went on at the headquarters of Scientology? This is the story of what happened behind the Iron Curtain of Scientology.

hey guys, welcome back to the channel. Um, we are gonna have a 40 000 subscriber celebration today. Let's get Claire in here, see if she's around.
Speaker 2:There she is.
Speaker 1:Hey honey. Hey, it's nice to see you.
Speaker 3:Good to see you too.
Speaker 1:Now pop, contrary to popular belief, cause I look a little red. It's not my camera, it's not the lighting. I got a whole day out of the cage and I went fishing with our youngest son and I got a little son because I haven't been. It's so cold down here I haven't got any. I haven't done enough husband chores or erased enough demerits to get the heat turned on down in the cage here.
Speaker 3:So you sure do love to spin a tail, honey.
Speaker 1:But I am a little red. That's not. That's just how it is today. I'm sorry, I am red.
Speaker 3:Do I get to show my shirt for today real quick. Oh yeah, you got, we got merch after all that, I forgot my shirt, yay.
Speaker 1:Zinu is my homeboy is my homeboy. I did have a mug, but I think I left it wherever Claire got it for me to bring down here. But I have a Hail Zinu, is it Hail? Yeah, hail.
Speaker 3:Zinu mug Hail Zinu, that I like use.
Speaker 1:Yeah, somebody said it's the makeup. That's right, that's right, it's the makeup. I got to put a. I got to cover up all my battle scars.
Speaker 3:Oh my goodness, come on now up all my, my battle scars.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness, come on with a little bit of rouge. Um, let's see. Um, okay, so here's how we're gonna do this. It is, we are at 39 814 subscribers right now. I thought that that would be enough that we could hit 40k in the stream. Okay, if we do hit 40K in the stream, okay, if we do hit 40K in the stream, we're gonna do a 10 giveaway. We're gonna do 10 giveaways, whether it's merch or bobbleheads or SP bracelets or blown for good books, whatever you guys want. We're gonna do 10 giveaways in a row when we hit 40K. Now, that's if we hit 40K in the stream. If we don't, we'll just do the normal one giveaway that we always do when we get another 1,000. So I've got the counter right up here 39,813. And we're going to go about our schedule and if we hit it, then we'll take a break. We'll do all that and then we'll go back to doing Q&As or whatever we've got. What else do we got? Oh, we have some goodies.
Speaker 1:Okay, we're going to do something special at the very end of the video, regardless of if we hit the 40K or any of that stuff. At the very end of the video, regardless of if we hit the 40K or any of that stuff, and we are going to play a song at the end. Now, these songs are ones that we're going to play at the end of the videos. We're going to try it whenever we do a live. I might even do it if we do a prerecorded. I'm going to figure out how we do that.
Speaker 1:But these are songs that people have sent into the channel. There is one individual who has sent in a lot of songs, so he might dominate the channel for a little while, unless somebody else sends one in that we like better or that sounds better. It's not. I'm not. I'm going to just go right out on, right out and say this is not my type of music that I would choose to listen to. But I'm not going to judge or predetermine that the video, the songs, can't go on the channel. I'm just going to put them on and if you guys like it, you like it, if you don't, you don't. Somebody sent it to us and I figured they spent the time to record a song, so we might as well put it on there. And actually I think I should add the BFG rap. I should put that on there too.
Speaker 3:on the same. Oh, you totally should. On the playlist.
Speaker 1:We'll put that on there sometimes too, we'll see.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 1:And yeah, so that's what we got. We're already at 39,814. So I guess it went up, was it 12 and now it's 14, or was it already?
Speaker 3:I don't know what it was, but it's 814 now. It's creeping up. We're almost there. I'm excited.
Speaker 1:We'll just say 814.
Speaker 3:I don't want to be called a stat pusher or anything, but it's kind of a momentous milestone we're about to hit.
Speaker 1:That's true In the C organization, in the Scientology world and especially in the C organization. If we were in the C org, I guess our stats would be they have different kinds of graphs. They have weekly and daily graphs, but then they also have cumulative graphs. So our subscriber stat I think that would be a cumulative stat, and then number of videos, and I guess number of minutes of video would likely be our statistics yeah, I'd say uh, yeah, our, our as sp tv creators and contributors.
Speaker 3:Our stats would be number of subscribers, number of Scientology nonsense situations exposed. Yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1:Something like that.
Speaker 3:Something like that Number of Scientologists gotten out of Scientology.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh yeah, cause we have our stats. Would be like not to go along with the-.
Speaker 3:Right. Our purpose is to help Scientologists understand that they're being scammed and it's okay. Life can be better, they can get out. So a number of people gotten out of Scientology would be a great statistic.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and when we say upstat, so if in Scientology, when you're a kid in Scientology, if you do anything that's wrong, or you don't do your chores or anything that you do as a kid, that's wrong, that's down stat or down statistic. And if you do something that's good, that's up stat or up statistic. So, yeah, my SP files, my spy files stat would be number of spy files released, anyway. But so yeah, that, yeah, that's what we're doing, yeah.
Speaker 3:And so I think the reason we got onto the statistics is because I dropped the stat pusher term.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes, exactly.
Speaker 3:And so in Scientology, a stat pusher is somebody who just pushes to get the number, not just to fake the number, rather than actually helping people, or actually yeah, whatever. Oh, let's see.
Speaker 1:No, I'm just putting you, just go ahead and talk. I'm just putting up comments while you speak.
Speaker 1:You don't have to read them, I'm just putting them up as we go. Anyway, om22 says the number of times mark was allowed out of the cages. Um, okay, uh. Oh, we have a surprise for you guys. We want to show you something. We did mention this in the last stream and I wanted to make sure that, um, that you guys got to see it. So we are making for the Aftermath Foundation.
Speaker 1:The Aftermath Foundation is a foundation that helps people who have left Scientology how to get their feet back on the. We help them get their feet back on the ground or restart their lives after they've escaped or gotten out of the sea organization. Some of these people don't. They don't know how to drive a car. They don't people don't. They don't know how to drive a car, they don't have a license, they don't know how to get a credit card or all the real world stuff that you kind of learn as a regular person. A lot of these people that have been in the Sea Org since they were children. They have not had this life experience, so we sort of help them.
Speaker 1:The items that we currently sell in the spshopcom are microender bobbleheads and SP bracelets and those go. All of the proceeds from the sales of those items go to support the Aftermath Foundation. We are adding a third item to the stuff through the store for the holiday season, the upcoming holiday season, and this is the little Davey troll of the whole captain poopy pants, whatever you want to call it and so I want to put up let's see how we're going to do this. Poof, poof, poof. There we go. Okay, this is this a video.
Speaker 3:oh no no, that's the pictures first.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so this is his little hat. They're they're sewing together, making him. That is an actual sewing machine and they're making little hats. He has a little black hat. He's definitely a black hat, no matter he's.
Speaker 3:He's definitely a black elf, let's just you know, black hat a black hat oh yeah, black hat, black hat gotcha um because in scientology a black hat is the bad guys that's right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's how hubbard likes to say the guys in the white hats and the guys in the black hat. So davy's got a little black hat. This is his little face. Um, they're, they have a bunch of them. Um, I think they might be sewing the eyes and the mouth and all that into the little faces in this picture I'm not exactly sure, or maybe they're sewing his hair, uh, to his face.
Speaker 1:That's probably what they're doing in this picture yeah and then, um, that's a picture of, just so you can get a little comparison. He's a little bit bulkier than the elf on the shelf. We kind of use the elf on a shelf as a loose, like you know, he's got to be like that, but we didn't want to make him exactly the same.
Speaker 3:I like that side by side comparison because it shows like the elf on the shelf is kind of joyful and has the Christmas spirit.
Speaker 1:Look at the little elves, like he's looking off to the side, like, oh no, he's like I don't know. He knows what's about to happen Right there. There you go. There's a little Davey elf getting frisky with the elf on the shelf. And then the last thing is got this video. This video might be a little high pitched. It has a some air happening, air, a pneumatic, um. Uh, it's basically he's davy's little davy's getting stuffed. So I'm gonna play that here. Uh-oh, I didn't like that babe yeah, I see that.
Speaker 3:I liked it when we were.
Speaker 1:Get stuffed up right there. That's all the pieces sewn together. Yeah, so that's him. That's all the pieces sewn together. And now they're. This is the, this is the big. Build a Dave machine, build a little Davey machine, and they're stuffing him full of all this stuffing.
Speaker 3:Build your own, captain Davey.
Speaker 1:That's right. So, yeah, that is going. We will likely have those. I want to say October is probably when those will go on sale in the SP shop and um, and we will likely, um, we'll do some giveaways of those as well on the channel here.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 1:And uh, so anybody who wants those? Um, I don't know what's going on with the subscribers, but we're still at three, 39, eight, 14. So anybody who's? We're? Up to 700 people in here now. Um, hopefully you guys can. Uh, some of you guys are not subscribed and you can hit the subscribe button. It's only going to take like, uh, about a 200 to get us to the 40 K Mark. I realize a lot of the people that are here are subscribers because they were notified that we were doing a live Um, but you can always double check a lot of times. Well, is that you?
Speaker 3:Nope.
Speaker 1:Oh, I can hear people talking outside your office.
Speaker 3:It might be. It might be our youngest son having too much fun.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I can hear him up there. Anyway, yeah, everyone's like yeah, we're subbed. I know, I know we're talking to the wrong people, but if we want to do those giveaways, we're going to have to, somehow, we're going to have to. Oh, it just went. It went to eight 15 and then it went right back down to eight 14. Oh no, Come on Somebody somebody unsubscribed and subscribe to see if it would do anything. Yeah.
Speaker 3:Oh no, it's at eight 16 now. Well, it's going there, it's going there.
Speaker 1:This is a 40 K subscriber celebration so yeah so we should try to hit the 40 K in the stream, but I think we'll do it. I think we'll do it, so, yeah, so that's the little Davey dolls we think. I mean I really hope that we can sell as many as we made. We made, we made a few thousand of them and and we're going to try to keep them priced, like I think we're going to try to make them around 20 bucks. Um, we're not trying to make them so cheap that we don't raise any funds, but at the same time, um, you know, we have to make them and ship them and and, uh, you know it's going to have all kinds of stuff. Um, okay, let's see what else we've got.
Speaker 1:I'm trying to read, I'm keeping track of the chat. I usually I don't read the chat. Claire just keeps the ones that are starred and those are the only ones I see. But sometimes I'll switch over to the live chat and there's a lot of people in the live chat. I didn't even realize how far I was behind, but the sub numbers are going up, so, hopefully. But the sub numbers are going up, so hopefully we'll get some people that are coming over from Aaron and Reese I think we're doing a live and they just ended, so hopefully we'll get that.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I saw somebody was just asking a few thousand what they missed, what you were talking about, that we made of the elf.
Speaker 1:Oh yes, so we made some little Davy doll elves and those are going to go on sale in the SP shop, I want to say sometime in October. We're going to try to get enough time so that people who order them internationally can do so in October, november and get them before Christmas, yep, or the holiday season, as some people would prefer us to say.
Speaker 3:Yep, I just said Christmas because it's Christmas. Whatever you celebrate, it's all good, yeah you can.
Speaker 1:These can be. We are gonna. I know I talked about this, but I'm probably gonna do it. We're probably gonna list them. The SP shop also has its own little merch store, I think Yep, and it's separate from the SP shop, but it still supports the Aftermath Foundation.
Speaker 3:We'll join them together eventually. That's a. That's a last loose end that I need to close the gap on, because there's and we are going to be adding new Aftermath Foundation merch shortly as well.
Speaker 1:So yeah, and we'll put them in the. We'll put them in both stores, regardless of if they're merged or not. And the thing I was going to say is that we've had so many great names for the Captain Davy doll or the Troll of the Hole or whatever they're called, and so every great suggestion that someone has put in, sent in, we're going to make that the name of the thing and we'll just have multiple listings. So no matter which one you buy, it'll be called a great name and you'll just get the same exact doll.
Speaker 3:Yeah, my personal favorite is Troll of the Hole, I must say.
Speaker 1:Yes, troll of the Hole is good. Dinky Dave is a good one. We got to start writing these down. Dinky Dave is a good one, we got to start writing these down.
Speaker 3:Dinky, dave, I have a note, yeah, and I did like one that somebody just said too, which was Elrond's Leprechaun for St Elrond's Leprechaun. Elrond's Little Leprechaun.
Speaker 1:That's amazing, elrond's.
Speaker 3:Leprechaun. The creativity in this community knows no bounds yes, um, this is still sassy.
Speaker 1:At 60 says a 20 donation to the aftermath foundation for the troll of the whole is money well spent. Exactly that's what I think it's. You know, it'll be fun. It'll be fun dinky dave troll, the whole little Captain Davey doll, whatever you want to call it. It's going to be good. And I think that I don't know if we can show the. We might have to blur the face of the elf on the shelf, but we might want to make that the picture. That could be one of the description pictures of him, but I don't know if we can show elf on the shelf in our, uh, in our store, so we'll have to figure that one out. Um, okay, um, let's say you want to do um, do we want to do some questions?
Speaker 1:39.26 yep let's do it here. Let's do. Oh, we had super chats already. Nice, joni Cummings says so. Who is the boss, mark or Claire? I think that's pretty clear from all the things that have been going on lately, that the ginger, that's pretty Claire. The ginger one. The ginger one has spoken.
Speaker 3:Oh, come on now.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's just on now. Yes.
Speaker 3:It's just a matter of perspective. If you're in the basement, he's the boss. If you're on my level, I'm the boss. It's just. You know, it's a matter of perspective.
Speaker 1:Christian B says bulkier because of his HGH. Yeah, I don't that. Probably is it that elf, that little South Pole elf's got a lot of HGH supplies.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:Thank you for that, Christian.
Speaker 3:He has to take supplements to make up for everything else that he's lacking.
Speaker 1:Bison5360,. Thank you, very generous of you. I missed you guys. I just wanted to hello to you. Love the Dave mini-me Nice. Yeah, it's going to be great. Chad is subscribed, thank you.

Speaker 3:Mark is very stingy with his subscriptions. I subscribe to everybody.
Speaker 1:That's true. I don't know with his subscriptions. I subscribe to everybody. That's true. I don't know. Lynn Rucker says when you're in CUS full-time with the media blackout, are you aware of world events like Columbine, Oklahoma City bombing, 9-11, et cetera? Yeah, you are, but not really Well the executives are.
Speaker 3:I wasn't aware of Columbine and the Oklahoma, I was only aware of 9-11 because I was in Religious Technology Center at that time. And you know, and I didn't as you probably remember, honey I didn't even know what the Twin Towers were when I, when we got that phone call from Maria Starkey, david Miscavige's receptionist, and she was like, oh my gosh, did it happen? And I'm like repeating the words and you're like walking around the room. Oh my God, I'm like please translate this. I don't understand.
Speaker 1:It was really early in the morning when we got the call.
Speaker 3:It was. It was like seven, 7, 20 AM and I had only gotten to bed at like 4.30 AM, so I was completely still brain dead. Honestly, that wasn't helping either.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember I was like what the Twin Towers? Oh no, and you were like what are the Twin Towers? And I was like oh, it's in New York, it's in New York City, babe. It's two big buildings there.
Speaker 3:And I'm like where's New York?
Speaker 1:No, I'm like where's New York? No, I'm just kidding, it wasn't that bad. But had you ever, you'd never been to New York, even at that time.
Speaker 3:No, the first time I went to New York was last year with you.
Speaker 1:Okay, well, there you go. Yep, thank you for that, lynn. Lori Plays says thank you for that, very generous. It's always magic when you two are together, live. I hope you know how much we all love you guys. Well, thank you that Very generous. It's always magic when you two are together, live. I hope you know how much we all love you guys. Well, thank you, lori plays. It's fine, we appreciate it.
Speaker 1:Um, we've been really busy. Claire's been doing a lot of videos, but uh, um, you know, I've been here uh, doing work, uh for the, and now that I've got a few little breaks, I'm going to, we're going to do, I'm doing a few videos. I've got to travel for work next week, but then after that I should be back for most of the rest of the year, for the most part doing projects here locally. So, yeah, you should at least send a message or mute yourself or just duck out for a second and tell him that we're doing a live, because otherwise I'm going to hear him the whole time and I'm going to bring it up every single time.
Speaker 3:Okay, I'll do that. Hold on, I'll be right back.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, see, claire's got there's, we've got, we've got three boys. So they sometimes they make a bit of noise, especially if they don't know we're live or they're outside when we started and they just come back in like they own the place. Oh, here we go. Notashieple says my birthday is in nine days. Little Davey doll will be in my late gift to myself, trying to spread the support SPTV wide. Thank you for that, notashieple. We appreciate it.
Speaker 3:Notashieple another frequent flyer that we have seen here many times over the past few weeks and months, did you sort? That out? Are you good? We'll see. Okay, awesome, I submitted the request. Nice, we'll see if we get compliance or not, or if I have to take extra action.
Speaker 1:Here's a question for you. You can read this one.
Speaker 3:Okay Question I bought Mark's book and it would be lovely to have a pair. How is your book coming along, Claire? It is coming. I would say I'm about 30% in and I have great big plans to get it moving along faster. So I'm hoping for early, early next year.
Speaker 1:You just made me think of something.
Speaker 3:Oh, I did that happens all the time.
Speaker 1:Well, you know, when we, so we we both worked at the international headquarters of Scientology when we in the early nineties, we both worked in golden era productions. In the early 90s we both worked in Golden Era Productions and then Claire was eventually promoted to the Religious Technology Center, which David Miscavige, the head of Scientology, was the head of. But when we were in Golden Era Productions Golden Era Productions is the Scientology organization that produced all the books that were released in Scientology and one of the things that happened was over the years they would just design a book and then they design another book and they and there was no sort of theme or design convention that was applied to all books, so they were just treated like their own little thing. And so when you put them on the bookshelf or you put them in a library, all of the logos and the text and the fonts, they were all different for all the books. And this is something that drove that.
Speaker 1:And, to be fair, they were producing books from the 1950s when L Ron Hubbard was actually the one writing and sort of producing the book or whatever the organization it was called pubs at one time, which stood for publications, and there was a headquarters in Denmark and then there was a headquarters in Los Angeles and anyway, there was several different people producing all these different versions and translations, but none of them were the same book to book. So when David Miscavige and I want to say in the tooth in the nineties, in the two thousands, he was like we got to make these things, so they're, they look like the same people put them out, and um, and so he was like the. They all need to be the same size, they all need to be the same colors, they need to have the same fonts and all these things. And I was thinking that when we do your book we should just make it not match at all.
Speaker 3:Just to drive Dave Miscavige's OCD nuts, so when you put them on the shelf, they're totally different, or we could do them the same, I don't know.
Speaker 1:I just thought it would be really funny if we just made them different on purpose, even though we made them the same.
Speaker 3:We'll make a logo for me that's called GFB.
Speaker 1:Yes, what's G. What's G.
Speaker 3:Ginger for good Going for blown.
Speaker 1:Oh, GFB.
Speaker 3:Good for blowing what.
Speaker 1:That's going to be misinterpreted for sure, because I just misinterpreted it when you said it.
Speaker 3:Well, that was you, not me. That's your, that's your problem, yeah.
Speaker 1:I do not recommend that. That is not a good I would. I would not say that you know somebody said.
Speaker 3:Somebody just said don't mention the KRs. Claire wrote on Mark, he's still salty, that's true, it's so true I love how they put that in the comments. Yeah, I know, nailed it, Absolutely nailed it. I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, selena, I heard it Mark's way. Yeah, see, mark, yeah.
Speaker 3:You know what All of us, Claire.
Speaker 1:Look all of us.
Speaker 3:Look all of us claire you have a giant misunderstood word people.
Speaker 1:Yeah, blown means escaped that's true, you know, it's funny because when sometimes people say, um, what's the name of your channel? I say blown for good. And they go, really, that's the name of the channel. And I go, yeah, and they're like okay, and then I go, you know, blown me. They go we know what it means, but we also know the other thing it means and I'm like, well, okay, maybe that's why some people check it out they're like, what's this all about?
Speaker 3:I know my favorite is when I'm like on the phone with like the it personal or whatever, and they're like what's your email, claire? At blown for good.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's so amazing.
Speaker 3:Every time I'm just like you know what? You're not understanding this right.
Speaker 1:That is so true? Oh my goodness. Um, yeah, no, so, but I. It's funny because when I made up that tie, well, the only reason it was called blown for good is because that's the secret name I was using when I was posting on the internet.
Speaker 3:Right. I mean there's a Hubbard policy called blow offs. I mean you know how awkward is that.
Speaker 1:So, but I thought it was a funny name to have as my my handle when I posted on these, these Scientology message boards, the. It was called the. It was called the. The website that had all these Scientology documents on it was called operation clam bake and then there was a port like a portal in operation clam bake, which was a message board, and it was called O C M B operation clam bake message board and um, and that's what I used to post on mainly, and then, very shortly thereafter, there was another website, another message board, called the Ex-Scientologist Message Board, and that was ESMB, and I would post sometimes, I would just post on one and I would just post the exact same thing on the other one, and so this is sort of like the OCMB of 2023. You know, we're just doing it in video form YouTube, yes.
Speaker 3:Operation All Content Accessible.
Speaker 1:Yes, anyway, but so yeah, we are at 39,829.
Speaker 1:I keep saying I'm going to say 829, but then people are are going to be. I'm just going to say thirty nine to nine. So if you are just joining us, there's a thousand people in here now. So if you're just joining us, we're doing a forty thousand subscriber celebration live stream tonight. So we really want to hit forty thousand, if you know what I mean. So we really want to hit 40,000, if you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:And for those of you who have just tuned in, when we hit 40K, we normally do a giveaway. Every 1,000 subscribers that we gain, we just do a giveaway. So if you want a book or if you want a bobblehead or something, you could just write that in the comments and when we skip over another 1,000 subscribers, claire just picks somebody and we send them whatever they asked for. If we hit 40,000 in the stream tonight while we're live, we're going to do 10 giveaways. We're going to give away bobbleheads, books, sp bracelets, whatever you guys want. We're going to give 10 of those things away, and but only if we hit 40 K in the stream.
Speaker 3:Yeah so, and we did it prematurely, knowing full well we may or may not hit it, and that's okay, but Mark has to head out of town for a few more days, so it's all good, we're having some fun. We're here, you get to see Mark's face, so let's have at it.
Speaker 1:There you go. Okay, there's so many inappropriate comments in the, I'm going to go back to start. So Claire sort of previews the comments and picks the ones that she thinks that I'm going to read, and sometimes I'll read all of them. But I was over in the live section and there's too much nonsense going in there for me to concentrate on doing a video and reading those. So I'm back over to here. I'll just show this one from Jen Nelson. It says missed you guys together.
Speaker 1:When will you do lives with more of the gang? We are sort of doing our own thing, just because I'm just not here that much. So instead of trying to join into everyone else's lives, we're sort of just on our own schedule in our own little planet that's in its own orbit. So so that's how we're doing it, just because I don't have a lot of time when I'm not working. So when I am I'm going to do a live with Claire and I've been doing a lot of lives with new channels that people may not have seen our content. So we're trying to kind of spread out so that you know we do have a lot of loyal subscribers that watch our channel and then maybe watch the other SPTV channels and then some people just watch our channel and maybe one or two other one, and then we're getting a lot of new subscribers from these other channels that we've been going on. So we're and we're getting a higher proportion of new subscribers from from kind of branching out to these other types of YouTube content creators. So that's what we're doing and it's working for us. So we're going to keep doing that and we can, we'll, we still.
Speaker 1:Claire's still doing her series, scientology Stories, where she interviews former Sea Org members or former Scientologists, and so if you haven't seen those, you can. There's a Scientology I think it's called Scientology Stories as a playlist. And then there's also, of course you can. There's a Scientology I think it's called Scientology Stories. There's a playlist. And then there's also, of course, the when is Shelley Miscavige series that Claire has and that's got its own playlist. I think she's up. How many are you up to now? I think it's 13 or 14.
Speaker 3:And I have like a ton more coming. So I'm really excited. I just recorded another one earlier today and we're also going to add the playlists for Cracker Liquor and Clarabar for interviews we've done on other channels, so that the content we've done on other platforms is available on our channel as well. So I just did. I've done a couple of interviews with, like, bryce Watson from Esoteric Atlanta. I did another one with Catherine Edwards the other day and I did two with Shalice from Cults to Consciousness, which was awesome. I've received a lot of great feedback, especially from the interviews I did with Shalice, especially from the interviews I did with Shalice it it. You know, it's just different. When you have different, different perspectives, different people asking you questions, it brings out other pieces of the puzzle. That kind of you know it's just, it's just different. What can I say?
Speaker 1:Yeah, totally. Here's. Jared says a golden era and RTC are both at base, right, yes?
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:They. Well, to be fair, there is a religious technology center office, a giant building, in fact, that is at the base. Religious technology employees or staff members or Sea Org members were not allowed to go into that building. Only David Miscavige used that building, and so, from the time that I left in January of 2005, the only people that were allowed to work in this, I want to say it was like $30 million to build this building.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, at least I think it was 39 million. I had to give Lurie Stukenbrock the figure one time because oh, there was this such weird thing where RTC built the RTC building. It was 39 million by the way Okay. 39 million Because David Miscavige was gonna make Int Management buy the building from-.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's right, I remember that.
Speaker 1:Yes, super weird super weird Int management by the building from oh, that's right, I remember that. Yes, super weird, super weird. Well, so for those of you who are watching that, you're not in Scientology. There's a lot of Scientologists that watch this channel too, so every once in a while we want to just do a little call out to them.
Speaker 1:So yeah, guys, david Miscavige built a thirty nine million dollar building for him to work in, and then he decided that he didn't like working at the international base because everyone there were suppressives, and he told us all the time that we were as peace suppressive persons and as Sea Org members who dedicated our lives to Scientology for a billion years. And so he tried to sell the bill. One of the ideas was that he was going to sell the RTC building to international management, which is like CMO, the Commodores, messenger Organization International and Execstrata. These are all part of the CSI, the Church of Scientology International Corporation and so he was going to sell that building to them, and in the end, I don't think they had the $39 million to buy it, because almost all the money in Scientology it ends up in Religious Technology Center or it ends up in what's called the Sea Org Reserves, which is just a big bank account where all the money goes to and David Miscavige's statistic.
Speaker 1:We were talking about statistics earlier, david, one of David Miscavige's statistics is how much money is in that C org reserves account. That is his. So that's another good thing. I don't think we've ever talked about this. So that's another good thing. I don't think we've ever talked about this. So the leader of Scientology his metric, by which he is judged as a Sea Org member, is the amount of money he gets. That's it. That's the amount of money that gets used and spent and whatever is left over that goes to Sea Organization reserves. That is his personal statistic.
Speaker 3:But wait, isn't that totally normal for a religion? That's a nonprofit organization.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Yeah, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1:So I don't even know how we got. Oh so, yeah, so, even though those organizations are both located at the base, the international Scient the base, the International Scientology Base, david Miscavige is reportedly never, ever there anymore, and he has pretty much set up shop down in Clearwater, florida, and probably in the more recently he his new headquarters is the what's it called Scientology media productions. S M P.
Speaker 3:S M P.
Speaker 1:And so that is where.
Speaker 3:I can't help but think of sump pump whenever I hear SMP. By the way, just side comment.
Speaker 1:Okay, see what I'm saying. Guys see what I got to deal with here SMP sump pump. Okay, okay, okay, thank you, jared for that comment. Add empty gift box to Davy doll, that empty COS joy. Add empty gift box. You know, that's a good, good point. We should figure out how we could make it so it's we could get somebody could give it as a gift as well oh yeah, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3:We can do that about let's see if we can. We do that on our platform um, I'll, I'll research that I think we can, but I'll make sure okay, here's a mystic wolf.
Speaker 1:Thank you for the super chat. That's very generous. Hey, mark, so glad to see you. Claire, you are so nice to let him out of his cage to play. Ha ha, love you guys. Thank you. Mystic wolf, I agree. Um, it's really chilly down here, it's cause it's a little chilly.
Speaker 3:Can I just ask a question? I've got to earn some extra awards to get the heat on. How long are we going to keep this going? I just want to know, just so I can you know, because it's going to get old for me pretty quickly. You obviously were outside in the sun yesterday, like you. Seriously just can't keep this going.
Speaker 1:Just so you guys know, I learned Morse code, so I don't know morse code. So, oh my god, I don't know um we're gonna do. We're gonna do it as long as um, as long as the subscriber keep going, keep, count, keeps going up.
Speaker 3:I'm gonna keep going with it.
Speaker 1:Um god, if we get to 40k and if we get to 40k, you will reveal the working title, oh, of her book. I think she did say that in the stream, Didn't you say that Claire makes a lot of promises in the streams and I have to get her to make notes in these things. Like I said, hey, we're going to do a live today. And she said okay. And I said are you good? Did you get all your pictures ready? She goes what pictures? I said the pictures you said you would show.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then I remembered I was like oh yeah, those pictures. Oh, my goodness Bear's mom, it's not like I have anything else going on.
Speaker 1:Bear's mom said did you hit the subscribe button?
Speaker 3:Yay, thank you, bear's mom 839.
Speaker 1:We still have 161 to go. I'm not a big math genius.
Speaker 3:I'm only going to reveal my two working titles, if we hit it during the stream.
Speaker 1:Oh, really Did my two working titles, if we hit it during the stream oh really. Did you do the preps that you needed to do to be able to do that? Okay, we'll see, guys. For those of you who are just joining us, we got about 1,200 people in here. Now we are trying to hit 40,000 subscribers. That's why we're doing a 40,000 subscriber live stream celebration and if we hit 40K in the stream while we're live, 10 magic giveaways, um and uh. So we are at uh, 39, 8, 39, 8, 41.
Speaker 1:It's going up, oh yeah so if you haven't, you know, a lot of people think they're subscribed because they see the content in their recommended feed. If you watch one of our videos and you watch it for a certain amount of time, the YouTube algorithm decides that our channel may go into your recommended feed, even if you're not subscribed, because you like this content and you watched it for X amount of minutes. It says you're probably gonna like some of these other videos that people similar to you have liked for similar amounts of minutes. So even though you get our content and our channel's always in your feed, that does not necessarily mean you're subscribed, unless you physically hit the subscribe button. Okay, so that's that? Now separate to that YouTube.
Speaker 1:Sometimes, when they're doing maintenance or when they're updating code or when they're pushing out new stuff, sometimes it kind of turns back time on subscriptions and people accidentally get unsubscribed to channels that they're subscribed to and because they watch the videos, they still show up in their feed. This is what I'm told. This is what all the popular YouTube algorithm suppositions are. So even if you think you are subscribed, just double check. It can't hurt. Given the sleep deprivation, did SeaWorld staff not get seriously ill or have accidents? That's a really good question, om22.
Speaker 3:I have an answer.
Speaker 1:Yes, please.
Speaker 3:Yep, I almost lost my foot because of having a motorcycle accident when I had two hours of sleep. So yes, people very definitely got seriously ill and had very serious accidents. The motorcycle accident I had broke my left leg completely, both bones cleaned through, and the impact broke my shoulder and I was, um, they, I was on the base. They refused to call 911 because David Miscavige was there. I was hustled into a red Honda and, um, I was. I literally almost lost my foot because of it. So yeah, very definitely the answer to that is yes.
Speaker 1:Yes, I personally know five Sea Org members who lost fingers in the Sea Org. I know, I personally know five individual people. Now I don't know if that's normal where other people work. Now I don't know if that's normal where other people work. And also, the weird thing is, I think only two of those people lost fingers the same way. The other three lost their fingers completely different ways, which is also kind of crazy. They all worked at different places and they all lost fingers in different scenarios.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 1:That's kind of weird. Actually, only two of them were saws. Okay, yes, there are a lot of accidents I mean I could think of that's just the finger people. I know a lot of other accidents that happened.
Speaker 3:Oh my God, that sounds kind of gross.
Speaker 1:Well, one of them was my brother-in-law, so you know he lost a finger. Yeah, Tom.
Speaker 3:Tom Pope.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he lost a finger in uh, in, uh in a saw.
Speaker 2:Uh, yeah, you didn't remember that it was.
Speaker 1:I mean, it was kind of like I want to say at the what is that Second knuckle? But yeah, it was missing, it was gone.
Speaker 3:I just remember Robert Lemoine, who lost his finger because he was climbing out of the cage that was protecting religious technology centers' computers.
Speaker 1:No, no, david Miscavige's computers.
Speaker 3:Yeah, Same difference. Um, and then his his ring finger got caught on the top of the fence. Yes, exactly, and he lost his whole finger.
Speaker 1:Yeah. What's even crazier is he did end up getting divorced. It was his wedding ring that ripped his finger off.
Speaker 3:Right, yeah, no, his now ex-wife. I think it's fair to say she's a lurker.
Speaker 1:I don't know what that means babe.
Speaker 3:It means that she watches things and-.
Speaker 1:Oh, she might be watching this video right now.
Speaker 3:Yeah, exactly. So if you're watching, you know who you are. Reach out to me because I've known you since you were a very young girl and you should have freedom of speech.
Speaker 1:Wow, okay, there it is, claire telling it like it is Okay. Would love Debbie Richardson, would love to see Claire's KR. She wrote yeah, so would I, debbie. I don't think you have them.
Speaker 3:No, we do have that letter that I wrote you.
Speaker 1:That's true when she wrote this is good as much as it pains me to admit it. This is good guys.
Speaker 3:I'm just yeah, you know what.
Speaker 1:When Claire wrote one of the KRs, she wrote me a letter at the same time and I want to say that the letter and the KR, they're pretty consistent with each other and we do have that letter because it was a personal letter that Claire wrote me. So for some reason, when they went through all our stuff, they didn't take it out. Or did you take that with you when you left?
Speaker 3:No, I know why, cause I had this box of files.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:And anything that was like super sensitive. I hid at the bottom of the box. Oh, so like, for example, that's how we have a thank you letter from David Miscavige. Oh, it was in that, it was in like the secret. It was in the hidden section.
Speaker 1:I tell you they spent months going through our stuff to make sure that we didn't have any of these secret, hidden things.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:And a ton of stuff got through this girl. What's her name? Chelsea got through this girl.
Speaker 3:What's her name? Chelsea, chelsea Graves. Chelsea Graves.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh, she got married, she well no she was married to Adam Sala for a while, and then she divorced him and then came to the base.
Speaker 3:But yeah, she was. She was one of the people that was sex checking or interrogating, I should say, tom Cruise's personal staff, because Shelly asked me to pick somebody who was going to do that and I had to pick Chelsea.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 1:Craziness, okay. Well, either way, chelsea, you missed a few things and um but Chelsea, come on out.
Speaker 3:It's a beautiful world out here, yeah.
Speaker 1:I don't think Chelsea's watching any of these videos unless she left. You know a lot. That's another thing. A lot of those sex checker people from RTC. Like one of the girls her name was Laura. Laura Dolan works at California Superbike School.
Speaker 1:Now, like, talk about the most off purpose thing to do as a Scientologist. When you're a Scientologist in your religious technology and religious technologies center, as a Sea Org member, you're like everything needs to be focused on how is Scientology getting out to the world? And this girl works at a place that teaches people how to ride motorcycles. What does that have to do with anything in Scientology? So when these RTC people escape or get kicked out or have kids or whatever her circumstance was, um, they sure do, uh do things that don't have anything to do with scientology off the sudden, which is should be a great indicator for, like how dedicated or how legit their mission is, because when they leave, they're like peace out, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go hang out at Superbike School. Yep 39, 851,. Folks, let's keep going. Did I show this one Question? I bought Mark's book and it would be lovely to have a pair. How is your book coming along, claire? Yes, we read that one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we did that one, steffi APC88, says super sticker. Thank you for the super sticker, Steffi. We appreciate it. Ekl Chubu Shabu. Miscavige comes off as very oh my goodness, miscavige comes off as very cock heavy. Is he really carrying that much mass? Thank you, this is a coded message from somebody that we know and they said they might do this. And very well done. That's a proper cock heavy move that you pulled right there. Ek El Chibu. I don't know what the EK We'll have to find out what E-K-L-C-H-E-B-U means but thank you for that?
Speaker 3:I don't know. I just saw the terms and I was like, oh, this is a message. We got to mark this one.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, and they did a super chat too. Was it a super chat or was that a question? This was just a message. Okay, good, so you did pick it up. It's one of these, if you know. You know, that's it Very, very good. Thank you for that. Ekl Shibu Such a weird name, after all that BumblebeeTuna477 said reading Mark's book, now having a hard time putting it down. Excellent book, mark. Thank you, bumblebee Tuna. Yeah, I tell people all the time. When they tell me that and if you watch the channel, you've heard me say I am not a writer, I did not finish past I want to say I don't know. I don't know what grade I got to, because in the Scientology schools they didn't have grades, they had these things called forms, so it was kind of a, because they have to warp everything into something different.
Speaker 1:Well it also. It can't be kind of it can't have parity with any standard school system, because if you were in form six that wasn't grade six and so they kind of had to make it weird, so you couldn't really compare it to regular schools. But whatever point, you start doing algebra, then that's where I got to in school, not the finishing it part, the starting it part.
Speaker 3:The starting it part, the feeling confused part. You got to that part. You know what's so funny, is I?
Speaker 1:for a while I was like I blamed, like my whole life situation at the time. Like I was, I had moved out of my house. I wasn't living with my mom, I was living with just random people that I could kind of rent a room from, and I think that was from about the time I was 14 years old and then I ended up having to pay rent and I was working at the school that the Delphi school that I attended, and so I was having to juggle a lot of things to be able to to live. And when the algebra hit it was like that's it, I'm tapping out, I'm tapping out.
Speaker 1:So the algebra might have made me join the Sea Org very possibly, or at least it was a big part of it, so, but might have made me join the Sea Org very possibly, or at least it was a big part of it. So, but whatever point that is in schooling, that's where I got up to. So when people say you wrote a book, I said yeah, it's pretty good for someone who's never read a book. But I have read some books. I just, you know, not a lot, not a lot Emphasis on some Some.
Speaker 1:Like it could.
Speaker 3:I mean I read lots of books just because that was my secret escape. Growing up as a child I was like you know, I would read all kinds of books, as you remember, but yeah.
Speaker 1:Yes, oh, here's a good one, just ties right into that space.
Speaker 3:Cadet Brett says Claire, what's your writing process like any tips? Oh, I don't know about any tips. I'm just trying to get into a routine where I write every day. Um, mark pointed out to me that I was, you know, kind of finessing it way too much and just, rather than just letting it all out. It's all perfectly formulated in my head. I just need to allot the time to let it out. So there you go. That's my answer.
Speaker 1:Okay good, Cosmic Christy says has Scientology upped the harassment? Love you guys. Well, if you want to say thank you for that, Cosmic Christy, we appreciate that You're very generous. You know, if you want to say thank you for that, cosmic Christie, we appreciate that You're very generous. Um, you know, if you want to say over the past, what has it been now? How many years over the past 18 years, they have ramped it up. This year they have actually ramped it up. They did, They've done something they have never done in the history of the harassment and they openly contacted our clients. In the past they would kind of do it surreptitiously, but in the past few months they've actually been sending defamatory letters to my business clients and defamatory statements and messages to Claire's clients.
Speaker 3:So yes, they have really, yeah, like really hardcore evil in my case. Yeah, I mean, it was like really bad we don't even say what they said.
Speaker 1:It's that bad.
Speaker 2:It's that bad, it's really crazy yeah, but either way, they sent that-.
Speaker 3:Next level.
Speaker 1:And so, yeah, and that has cost us a bit of dough just in terms of lawyers and you know, having to spend time talking with our clients about the craziness. For the most part we've kept these two worlds apart. And you know I don't show up to a job and go hey, you want to hear what David Muscav? You know we don't talk about that when we're in our business environments, that when we're in our business environments. So this is the first time I want to say, well, since the Aftermath show, when the Aftermath show came out on A&E, I mean, a lot of people watch that show and some people were my clients and they were like I know that guy, but besides that, those worlds never really crossed that much. But besides that, those worlds never really crossed that much and so they kind of collided this year and we're trying to sort that out to see how that's going to all shake out and we can't really say much more about that.
Speaker 1:But great Sunday night, deborah says Blaylock. Great Sunday night, aaron and Reese, and now the great team of Claire and Mark. Yes, thank you for that. We are doing our best to keep you guys up on what's going on. And, yeah, hopefully we'll hit 40K. We're at 856, folks 856.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, Get in there.
Speaker 3:If you're a Scientologist and you watch our streams.
Speaker 1:Set up a phony YouTube account or just a name, that's not going to, they're not going to be able to trace you, and we recommend Billy Bob one, two, three, or Billy Bob one, two, four, or six, seven, eight, or there could be. That would be really amazing how many Billy Bobs we can have. Whenever I make a fictional person and he's doing something in one of my stories, 90% of the time it's Billy Bob.
Speaker 3:Yeah, or what about Blown?
Speaker 1:1000?. There you go. That's another good one, guys. Anything you want, you can create it on YouTube If it's not taken, you can do it If you make it up, and so the last time we did a video, I said that, and Billy Bob 123 put a super jet in like right off the bat. So I mean that guy was really on the ball. Naomi says we miss you, Mark. I know I miss me too.
Speaker 3:Naomi Hills. Yay, thank you.
Speaker 2:Naomi we appreciate that.
Speaker 1:Carol D in the UK has got a question. Question was the delay down to those pesky BTs trying to halt the 40,000 didn't work, though. No, you know what's funny, carol. So when we originally set this stream up earlier today, claire was actually recording a video at the exact same time with doing a Scientology. No, she was doing a. Where is Shelly Miscavige video, and the platform that we go live on and the platform that we record that on are both the same platform. It's called StreamYard. Well, when I was in StreamYard setting up the stream for later, she was doing a video now, and StreamYard got a little confused, and so, even though she was recording a video, it wasn't live, and even though I was putting up a live video, it wasn't being recorded. Somehow StreamYard got confused, but then it figured it all out and so we weren't actually delayed. We started actually right on time today, to be within 20 seconds of the start time.
Speaker 1:I want to say but thank you for that, carol. We appreciate the question. I can't stop thinking about Serge's story. It was too touching. Mark and Claire did a wonderful job. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. We love putting that together and we really hope that his story gets far and wide. I think, combined the videos up to, I want to say, 60 or 70,000 views, maybe even more than that. Now I haven't checked it in a while. If you haven't seen the Surge, the story of Surge video, we'll put a link in the description of this video, but it's on our channel under videos. It might, I think it might be under Scientology profiles or Scientology stories, but you can just Either way, if you search the story of Sergio Balensky, it will come up.
Speaker 3:It's on Growing Up in Scientology. It's on Mike Rinder's channel, it's on our channel, so yep.
Speaker 1:Awesome, betc. Sue says I'm excited for more spy files. Those are great. Thank you, betc, we appreciate the question. Joni Cummings says I want a book and a bobblehead. Ok, well, you know, let's get those subscribers going. We're at thirty, nine, eight, sixty we still got a buck forty to go and we've been here almost an hour. Guys, I'm not going to go. We've got a hard out today, so we're probably only going to go another 30 minutes and hopefully we can just statistically I don't see that happening, but we will see what happens.
Speaker 3:Can I throw up a comment? That's going to make me everyone laugh. Oh sure, here you go, billy Bob. One, two, three present. You called my name. I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, see, there you go, billy Bob 123 on his game. Thank you, Billy Bob 123.
Speaker 3:We appreciate it.
Speaker 1:And no offense, but Billy Bob 124,. If you're here too, that's okay. You know, it's all good.
Speaker 3:We accept you equally.
Speaker 1:John Satowski, another frequent flyer, says Captain Ratface, little Boss, baby Davey Poopypants.
Speaker 3:Davey Dirty Poopypants.
Speaker 1:Davey Dirty Poopypants. That's another good one. Write it down. Captain Ratface, little boss, baby Davey Poopypants. Thank you, john Sadowski. We love that Pause for Andrea. Please pick me when you hit 40K, okay. Well, you know what I'm going to leave this here. I'm going to hide it, but not unstar it, okay, oh, betc again, loving all Claire Scientology stores. Just amazing, thank you, yay.
Speaker 3:Thank you, I appreciate it.
Speaker 1:Debbie Richardson says the spy files are amazing to watch.
Speaker 2:Thank, you Debbie.
Speaker 1:I'm working on a few more of those, so that's good. B E T C again, betsy Sue, I just figured it out, betsy.
Speaker 3:Sue, oh yeah, there you go.
Speaker 1:And absolutely love the where Shelly series. Well, there you go. We don't have any more series left, betsy, sue, so hopefully we'll get some more, and then you can comment on those as well. Paula Puffer says Claire can't wait to see you, amy and Reese together.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that would be amazing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you guys could do um, maybe um Amy and uh you guys can do uh join us for Wednesday night. Cause Reese has her own channel now too.
Speaker 3:Yep Relatable Reese.
Speaker 1:There you go, yep, um, for Jean says Claire, I watched those interviews and I learned things about your experience I hadn't heard before Excellent Interviews, awesome, excellent interviews, perfect, yes, yeah, the other thing that we don't, claire and I, when we talk, we don't know about the things that we don't know about each other, so we're not going to ask those questions. So when we go on other people's channels, sometimes they'll ask a question that we've never heard before, or it asks about something that we haven't really talked about. So you will see a lot of uh, a lot of uh times. We will cover things that we wouldn't normally cover on our channels.
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 1:Jess Lisa says I might miss other live slash videos, but I don't miss one of yours Always fun and informative. Title BFG too. That's a good one. I like that.
Speaker 3:That's a great one, bfg too, I know I was almost. I was almost going to call my book that blown for good too, um, but yeah so you can call it that in the introduction. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1:Okay, peggy Wolf, thank you for the super chat. I hope when Mike gets better you will get the old gang back together for a party. Yeah, absolutely, if we can. Uh we got to get Mike um back uh where he's up to a point of doing videos and uh we will definitely uh do some more lives that way. Question is the RTC building, the big gray building. That is the first one you see heading south on Gilman Springs Road. I think I want to say that that is actually, if you're coming down Gilman Springs Road, that big building is called the Cine Castle, the Cinematography Castle. I don't actually know which way, south or north. I think no, south is absolutely going the opposite direction. The um is it gray, though the?
Speaker 3:I thought the castle was like kind of like a gray tan color yeah taupe is more what it is um yeah the rt building.
Speaker 1:If you just there's a video, let's find the video of the base and we can link to the. There's some drone footage of the base, of the base, and there's the part where the RTC building is. We'll just link to that so you can see it. And it's actually amazing footage, maybe the highest quality footage of the base. I don't even think Scientology's drone footage is as good as the videos that this guy shot. Yeah, oh, this is good. I'm still getting feels from Serge's story. Great work. I just can't get enough of you guys. Sptv number one. Thank you, patrez.
Speaker 2:Nice, 20.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we really did. We did really want people to get an idea of we talk about the Aftermath Foundation. The Aftermath Foundation is the is the organization that eventually helped Serge with some of those things that he needed, and so we've. There's been other people that have been helped by the aftermath foundation. They've done interviews and have done stuff, and that just happened to be, um, a very extreme case of somebody that we helped and um, and so we thought it would be worthy of, uh, of telling so, um, and also we, if you do, um, if you do help by the Aftermath Foundation, it's not a requirement that we profile you or we shoot video footage or anything like that, and in most cases, we have not done that.
Speaker 3:You're muted, honey. Oh, you muted yourself.
Speaker 1:Sorry, are you there?
Speaker 3:Yeah, now I am.
Speaker 1:Oh, how long did I go out, how long was I yapping before I lost audio.
Speaker 3:It was just a few seconds. I caught you right away, but you were talking about surge.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so you don't have to participate in a video if you get helped by the Aftermath Foundation. That one just happened to be an extreme case and everybody involved wanted to showcase it, so it worked out. Dora the Explorer Wow, thank you, dora Explorer.

Speaker 3:Oh, that's Bison 5360 that you accused of double dipping on the giveaways. What? Yes, bison 5360 knows what I'm talking about. What?
Speaker 1:I just said he was in there a lot. I don't know about double dipping on giveaways.
Speaker 3:Yeah, no, you did Joni Cummings. Okay, I pay attention, mark.
Speaker 1:Clairbeer, how is Mike Rinder and his family Last night live? With Mitch Bishker I hopped on a stream yard with six other people. It was fun. Oh, that's nice. Awesome, that's awesome. Yeah, mike is doing as good as he can be doing where he's doing the work. We just got to get him through to the other side. So yeah, om 22 says did people not have accidents or get ill from the sleep deprivation? Ps Ron's little leprechaun special St Patrick's day edition. Yes, no, I did we. Is that another person that asked?
Speaker 3:about the accidents. I don't know if it's another person or a similar comment, I can't remember but, yes, we, we did touch upon that and we absolutely love the L runs little leprechaun.
Speaker 1:Yes, st Patrick's day edition. So if we have any leftovers?
Speaker 3:we'll we'll add a four.
Speaker 1:We'll do some green ones If we sell out. I will make this deal If we sell out of the little Davy dolls, ooh, but I don't know if that's enough time. Yeah, I don't know how we could start them and make them and get them by St Patrick's Day, So-.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean. The only way it could happen is if we sold out by-.
Speaker 1:Like right away.
Speaker 3:The by like right away, end of October.
Speaker 1:Yeah, if we start selling them the first week of October, which is really pushing it like that's kind of real, you know, we could just go out on a limb and think we're going to sell them and then just start the, the, uh, the, the leprechaun additions right now.
Speaker 3:Well, we'll see.
Speaker 1:We'll see Now see, that's why you know who's the boss she's like. Eh, we'll see. We'll see. I like your ideas, but eh.
Speaker 3:My kids know that when Mark says we'll see, that means maybe, maybe not.
Speaker 1:But I'm the one that says we'll see. This is her way of not arguing, but sort of agreeing, but we're definitely not doing it. That is exactly We'll see. We'll see when she says we'll see the kids come to me and ask me because then they need an override.
Speaker 3:Mom's being mean. We need an override it happens so rarely that it's pretty shocking to you when that happens, right, yes, oh my God, betsy, sue, you are.
Speaker 1:you are a maniac, she says. I found my husband's old laptop and managed to get it logged into his account and got it subscribed to you from heaven.
Speaker 3:Thank you, betsy. Sue, that's very sweet of you, oh my goodness, yeah.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness, I don't. I'm not sure how to respond to that. Mary Kay London says I'm nagging my husband to subscribe. Lol. I listen with my earbuds and when I laugh out loud I have to explain what I'm laughing at.
Speaker 3:Good luck explaining that, yeah you know what.
Speaker 1:It's better if you guys laugh together, but I know what you mean, because Claire and I do not watch the same content at all. Rule SD lawyer. I was talking joking about advice for Mark about his treatment by Claire. I knew you were, but I didn't want to. I didn't want to drive. I didn't want to drive at home anymore and, by the way, I didn't put that comment up. Claire put that comment up.
Speaker 3:I didn't actually, but it might've been my runaway. I can't you can.
Speaker 1:If you can hide it, then you put it up. See there you go. This, you can hide it, then you put it up. See there you go. This is what I'm learning the ways. I'm learning the ways because she says I didn't put it up, but then I don't have a way to hide it, so I'm like, well, then you know, okay, denver, stevo, wow, that's very generous.
Speaker 1:Call this whatever you would like a celebration present, an anniversary gift, a bribe for an outstanding email request? I've out to mark money for Claire to buy stronger cage locks. Love you both. Oh, this smells like poo. Denver Stevo has sent me so many emails but I don't answer. When I'm not doing this work. I don't answer that email. I don't even look at it because I don't want to get wrapped up in a whole bunch of messes. So I know you've sent the messages, steve.
Speaker 3:Not the Denver Steve-O's emails or messes. It's just that you compartmentalize very diligently.
Speaker 1:But to me, if I get involved with that when I'm working, I'll stop doing stuff and go over to that. So I don't even look at them. So yes, when I get back for my next work trip, I will dive into all the emails. Stacey Y. Thank you for that, Stacey Y. Stacey Y is also a frequent flyer. Claire, make sure to buy domain names before revealing working titles. You know COS is going to do it if you reveal too early. I mean taxpayer money, they get money to squash publicity. Yes, oh yeah, I asked her about this and she insists that she's done it. Even I asked her about this and she insists that she's done it, even though I think she may have done some other work.
Speaker 3:So, hopefully, I was doing other work all day today, work that I've been procrastinating on. That I had to get done. However, I will say that during this live stream, I bought all the domains I needed.
Speaker 1:Oh wow, see, there you go guys. She saw the comment.
Speaker 3:I'm a multitasker at heart and I hear you, stacey, and I thank you for bringing that to my attention.
Speaker 1:We are at a buck 12 into the video. We got 1300 people in here. If you folks don't know, we're doing a 40,000 K subscriber celebration live stream and we're at 39,873. And we've got a hard out in not a lot of minutes. So I want to get to the giveaways, but we're not there yet, folks. So if you haven't subscribed that's why we're reading all these comments about subscribers is because people are getting very creative on how they're subscribing and that is why husbands and wives are being nagged about subscribing to channels.
Speaker 3:This is why pets, all of a sudden are creating Gmail accounts. That's right.
Speaker 1:And you know, Billy Bob's dog one, two, three. Virginia Anderson. Thank you for the super sticker sticker, virginia.
Speaker 3:We appreciate it you're very generous um oh, I'm 22 either way, I let I say let's take a pause and do a giveaway anyway. Not the 40k giveaway, but we usually do giveaways every 30 minutes in our lives, so that's my vote. You can override me if you'd like.
Speaker 1:Sure, okay good. Om22 says are your clients aware of the situation? So they understand? Yes, I mean, that's. The craziest thing is, when my clients got these things, they started looking around the internet and it took them a very quick amount of time to figure out that this was, oh, this is Scientology and you're exposing them and they don't like that. So they're doing nonsense.
Speaker 3:I loved most of their comments Like when the heck are these? You know what it's going to leave you alone.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that was some of the clients. We did not hear from all of our clients, so not exactly sure what happened with those guys. Yeah, stephanie AFC says blown for good was the first Scientology book I bought about eight years ago. It's wicked. Thank you, stephanie AFC, I appreciate it and yeah, my book.
Speaker 3:Yeah, don't forget to do the giveaway that I just said we were going to do, because people are getting all excited in the comments.
Speaker 1:Oh, I thought you said I could override that if I went to and I went, okay, good, thank you. And then I just kept going. We weren't going to do it. Oh my gosh, you stinger, face Goldie says we'll have a dozen Billy Bobs by tomorrow. I love it.
Speaker 1:Goldie is our super moderator and so she knows that she's going to see Billy Bob's and thinking of that present. You called my name. I don't think you unstarred that. See, when I show comments, I unstar them and Claire just leaves them. But this one says Betsy Sue equals Betsy Sue. See, now, I figured it out before you brought that up, betsy Sue. So I'm very happy about that.
Speaker 1:I wasn't subscribed. Who knew right? Blowdrill said that I wasn't subscribed. Who knew right? Yeah, see, that's the thing I'm telling you guys. You might not even know that you're not subscribed. It's a real thing. You could have been unsubscribed by YouTube accidentally when they rolled out some code, and also you could just have watched the videos so much that it just shows up in your feed, no matter what. So you might think or assume that you're subscribed because it's always in your feed and it's a channel that you always watch, but sometimes you're not actually subscribed. So, yeah, so that's that. We are at 39,885. It's actually going up. I'm seeing it tick over. I've got a little counter 887. I can see it ticking over as you guys subscribe. So we're getting there and you know, I think we'll do a giveaway, a giveaways. If you know what I'll do? A giveaway if we get to thirty nine, thirty nine, nine hundred.
Speaker 3:Just do it. Just do a giveaway now.
Speaker 1:Thirty, nine, nine hundred, oh my God, more subscribers, ok.
Speaker 3:You asked who's the boss, and now this is. This is proof of the pudding.
Speaker 1:Goldie, we'll have a dozen Billy Bob's by tomorrow. Oh, mark Fisher, fisher has a birthday. Mark Fisher, that's right, it's his birthday today. Guys. Mark Fisher's birthday. Mark Fisher and Janice Grady have a YouTube channel. Is it our Scientology studies peeling the onion?
Speaker 3:now our Scientology stories peeling the onion. Yep.
Speaker 1:Yeah, just said um, sinfully good says comment. Claire, thank you for the answer to the cobbler question. Made it last night and posted it today. Sinful at sinful Good Awesome. Is that another cooking channel?
Speaker 3:Um, I think so, yes, but the that was in relation to I think Simfully Good is doing like Sea Org recipes.
Speaker 1:Like beans and rice.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I think so, and Erin had mentioned the cobbler. So then she had asked a question like is it a cakey on top cobbler? And I'm like no, no, it's a leftover granola on top cobbler.
Speaker 1:Where did that get made? Leftover granola on top cobbler right when?
Speaker 3:did that get made? Well, we had that sometimes at Gold, but I think it was more of a pack-based thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've never heard of a cobbler. We had Framunda, I mean, we had what was it called? No, we did. We had Musco, we had Musco stew, and if anybody hasn't hasn't had must-go stew, it's whatever in the kitchen must go and it ends up in a stew.
Speaker 3:But we did. We did have cobbler at the base. I think it was just more commonly a pack-based thing.
Speaker 1:No. So what Claire doesn't know and what she may be referring to is that she was in religious technology center and they had decent food sometimes and the rest of us had slop, so she might have had cobbler. We did not have cobbler. I do not ever remember eating cobbler, or it was when I was during the period where I was on the shoot team and we were off the property shooting movies, and maybe they served it during that time shooting movies and maybe they served it during that time. Cc's Comfort Cooking. Another are actually our favorite comfort cooking channel on YouTube CC's Comfort Cooking. Did you make sticky toffee, sticky pudding, this weekend?
Speaker 3:She meant sticky toffee pudding this weekend.
Speaker 1:I know, I just read toffee, even though it didn't say that, did you?
Speaker 3:No, we didn't.
Speaker 1:Okay, we did make Yorkshire pudding, which is not like sticky toffee pudding. We did make Yorkshire pudding a few weeks ago and it was amazing.
Speaker 3:Yes, even though I went to ladies night out in the middle of said Yorkshire pudding process. Oh, that's right.
Speaker 1:We had Yorkshire pudding and Claire didn't get any because when she got back it was gone.
Speaker 3:It was all gone, but I did make the batter for it, which turned out really good it was, and I trained our youngest on all the steps to do so he could help you. So there you go.
Speaker 1:Cece's Comfort Cooking, again with the super chat. Do you have baby Zinus in the merch store? We do not have baby Zinus. Baby Zinus are a product of Marilyn Honig.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, that's not even Marilyn Honig.
Speaker 1:That's a. It's an. It's the baby of the, of the big Zinu, which is the bobblehead outfit. Zenu, the baby, xenus are produced by another person.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is produced by Rain Virus and I'm sure that our Goldie Wonder Woman of the universe will know the link for the store.
Speaker 2:If you have it, we got to put it in the description or you can just send it to Cece.
Speaker 1:You don't even have to, she's the one asking.
Speaker 3:But now, we showed it. We already sent her one of them. We sent her one of them.
Speaker 1:I understand, but now we have to show it to everybody somehow. So if somebody wants to get one, we got to tell them how. Deanna Ross, hey, osa, feel my finger. There you go. Dina Ross, thank you for the super chat At least it was feel my finger.
Speaker 3:That was always my preferred version over. Look at my finger.
Speaker 1:Okay, thank you, babe, for the non sequitur thing. In Scientology there are a number of assists, and these assists can be done by usually anybody. You just have to read how to do the assist and then you can deliver the assist. One of those assists is called a touch assist and it involves a person that touches you all over your body on when you're laying down on the front, and then you turn over on, lay on your stomach, and they do it on the back. And when this person is touching you, they touch you hundreds and maybe even thousands of times during this assist, and each time they touch you they say feel my finger, and then you go, uh, and then they touch you somewhere else and you go feel my finger, uh, and then they just do that. And this could go on for hours.
Speaker 1:Anyway, in the assist it says you can either say feel my finger, or you can say look at my finger. And when they say look at my finger, you don't actually have to look at it with your eyes, you can look at it with your mind. Anyway, claire just put a comment up while I was telling this. For some reason I don't know why she's just literally putting up random comments full time and as sooner than I can take them. Why she's just literally putting up random comments full time and as sooner than I can take them down, she's putting a new, a new one back up.
Speaker 3:I didn't put a new one back up. I was trying to let you know, though, that people are saying you were supposed to do a giveaway and it's ruined the chat at 39, 900 and it is 39, eight, nine six.
Speaker 1:Okay, all right, that's what it is.
Speaker 3:We're just four away from a giveaway now.
Speaker 1:That's right guys. Four away from a giveaway.
Speaker 3:I'm not setting the rules, so my finger does do random things, so sorry.
Speaker 1:I have listened to your book on Audible three times now and each time I learn something new about the cult that is Scientology. Thank you, marty. I appreciate that. That's very kind of you. And there are now 2,200 people live in the chat, so that is a lot of people, and I'm positive that some of them are not subscribed. Based on the video analysis that YouTube does, based on the video analysis that YouTube does, around 40 to 50% of the people that watch our videos are not subscribed to our videos. So I know a lot of you guys that watch the lives are probably subscribed, but there's probably a few of you that aren't, and we are at 898. So we're very close.
Speaker 3:We're at 899 now, so yeah, my counter says 898. Oh, we just hit 900. Booyah, it's time, it's time. I'm gonna take a screenshot. So you can't refute me, you can't resist. Yeah, that's enough.
Speaker 1:Now you're being okay guys, if you want, um, if you want something, um, you guys. Oh, what is this? There's an elixir comment in here. Um, I went too fast. Um, okay guys. Uh, we're gonna do a giveaway. We are at finally 39 900. We're 100 away. Uh, we do have a hard out coming up. So hopefully we can get up to 39, 40,000,. But we're going to do, I'm going to give a little bit of time.
Speaker 3:39, 10. Is that what you were trying to say?
Speaker 1:40,000. Yeah, there's a lot of I'm spinning through all the people and there are a lot of I'm spinning through all the people and there are a lot of Billy Bob's in here.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I know, and it's also a lot of bobble heads, and so there's a lot of stuff.
Speaker 1:But yeah, we are going to go, we're going here, book me, merch me, five, four, three, two and one, and I'm catching up, I'm trying to catch up and I'm picking one, carol D.
Speaker 3:Oh yay, Carol D.
Speaker 1:There you go, carol D. You got it, I think, carol D. I read one of her comments earlier and I can't remember what she said, but thank you, carol D. You were persistent and your persistent paid off. Persistence paid off.
Speaker 3:So just send me a link to whatever you would like from the merch store to claireatblownforgoodcom, and I will send you a giveaway link. So you don't have to send me your address or size or anything. It's just, it's all, easy peasy.
Speaker 1:It's all automated. Eggert, snorri Olson says, went to Oslo to see Depeche Mode Absolutely awesome. Went on Colt Sightseeing and found out that the org in downtown Oslo isn't there anymore. The new address is in an apartment building, is in an apartment building Wow.
Speaker 1:Hooray, hooray, hooray. Thank you, eggert, I appreciate that. Yeah, I've been to two of the shows so far on this tour and I plan to go to another one, which I'm just gonna answer right now. Dave, have you seen Depeche Mode and how were they? They were amazing. Thank you for the super chat and yeah, I plan to see them one more time. And usually when they go on tour, um, it's sort of like, oh my gosh, they might not ever tour again. So we got to go see them and I do say that every single time they ever tour. So that's why I've been to a lot of the concerts on the last few tours. But right before this, one of the members of the band did pass away, so now that's down to two of them. So I really made Claire agree that we would go and see them a few times on this tour.
Speaker 1:And Mike Rinder is my homeboy would be a great merch. Thank you, joni, I appreciate it.
Speaker 3:There you go.
Speaker 1:Joni. And then we've got from at Colonel Brock. He says much love. Well, thank you. That's very generous of you, colonel Brock.

I didn't get to do such wonderful things in school, but uh, yeah, that's. That's what he drew, and nice he, he said our youngest son says he's gonna produce all kinds of amazing new artwork for my board back there, so i'm'm excited.

Speaker 1:It sounds like touch assists are the less farty version of pull my finger 100. They're actually. I'm going to say that in Scientology, when you're a kid and you get, if you have an injury, like if you bang your knee, and you're a kid in Scientology, if you go and tell your parents, hey, I banged my knee real bad, and you show the cut or whatever they're going to, you're going to get a touch assist from somebody. And now, if you just had regular parents and you were going to get a touch assist, maybe it'd be from them. But in Scientology that's not how it works. Uncle Jerry or Cousin Ralph or the old guy down the hall is the one who's going to give you the touch assist. And if you're a kid and you don't like weird people touching you, you're not going to get a touch assist. So I probably got maybe three touch assists my entire childhood because I was just not into it.
Speaker 3:So well, you were lucky because I was in the cadet org and I get receiving them. You couldn't opt out of them Otherwise that was out ethics, which was super annoying. So like, for example, when I broke my collarbone. I had to get touch assist all the time and it was really crappy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, anyway, touch assist.
Speaker 3:The worst part is that you have to be feeling better for it to end. So the sooner you feel better, the better for you.
Speaker 1:And we're not even going to get started about nerve assists. That's a whole nother thing.
Speaker 3:That's next level of job abuse, and there's way more touching that happens on that one Weird touching too, Clara.
Speaker 1:Thank you, Clara, Working hard on my tasks right now, but listening happy Loves, tons of loves, and for me you're both the boss. Ha ha ha. Nice. Clara does a lot of the art for the SP shop and other fun things that we need artwork for. Oh my God. Om22 says is the spaghetti bolognese still the best meal ever? Yes, says is the spaghetti bolognese still the best meal ever? Yes, actually. Claire actually made some today and it smells so good that when we have this hard out, I might have to get some. Oh, I showed that one.
Speaker 3:Sorry, Kat and Maggie Maria was like can we please make spaghetti sauce, spaghetti and meat sauce for dinner? It was funny because this morning at like 8.30 AM he goes mom what's for dinner and I literally started laughing and he did too. It was funny because this morning at like 8.30 AM he goes mom what's for dinner and I literally started laughing and he did too. I was like, dude, it's 8.30 in the morning, what?
Speaker 1:kind of a question is that Maria says all of my Gmail and YouTube accounts are subscribed. Thank you, marie, I appreciate it. Oh my goodness.
Speaker 3:Casey Casey.
Speaker 1:Isaac says hey guys, so close. Love you guys and thank you so much for all that you do. Thank you for that, casey. I appreciate it, casey. Her name is spelled that way because I'm supposed to say Cassie, but I always call her Casey. Thank you for that.
Speaker 3:Cassie, somebody might be a tad stubborn, but I'm not naming it, it's just the way my brain is wired.
Speaker 1:Sixth is really hard to pronounce. You have to choose which sound to drop. Pretty much. Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, Juliana.
Speaker 3:Yeah, juliana, thank you for understanding, holy moly.
Speaker 1:So she calls herself now Julie Bittencourt, the scion theologist. That's perfect. Yes, that's great. I don't know what that is, but Scientology is not a real thing either, so who cares? Vicki, duthit, mark and Claire, thank you for being here and you helped me get through some really rough times. Thank you for being here. Thank you, vicki, we appreciate it. I didn't get to show it because I clicked on the star instead of the show button. Good golly, miss M. I have been devouring anti-Scientology videos book for over a decade now. Jason Begay, mike Rinder Will you please pick me for a Mike bobblehead doll? Mike is my hero. You know what? Good golly, yes, claire, send her a Mike bobblehead.
Speaker 3:Good golly.
Speaker 1:Miss.
Speaker 3:M Shoot me an email and send me your address, and I will send you a. Mike Rinder bobblehead.
Speaker 1:After you left this is a question from CW After you left, how long did it take you to not to have a visceral knee-jerk reaction to someone saying something bad about Scientology? You know, I've actually there's been a when it's a great question when I was working, right when I left. I was working at a post-production company and I can't remember how it came up, but there was a bunch of people talking man smack about uh, scientology or Tom Cruise or something, and I just sat there just just smiling and thinking, oh, the stories I could tell. But for the most part, you know, when we first left, we just kept it on the down low. We weren't leading with that. It was sort of like oh my gosh, scientology is a giant joke in the world.
Speaker 1:And that was the first thing we sort of noticed when we got out is, kirstie Alley was the butt of jokes, tom Cruise was the butt of jokes. It was sort of like, can you believe that anybody would be in that? And I was like, oh my God, they cause? They didn't. We didn't know that when we were in it. We thought, you know, they tell you it's on the tip of everyone's tongues and their, their Scientology is being celebrated by millions of people all over the world. And then you get out and you're like, uh, I don't think so. I'm not. I'm pretty sure that's not correct.
Speaker 3:And then you get out and you're like I don't think so, I'm not. I'm pretty sure that's not correct. Yeah, Though, I will say you shed your your layers much quicker than I did.
Speaker 1:Because I didn't have any of the programming like you did. Yeah, you didn't do the OT levels.
Speaker 3:And actually I had a conversation with somebody who used to audit L Ron Hubbard. I had a conversation with somebody who used to audit L Ron Hubbard and I was like I'm I'm really struggling with like, why does Mark not give a flying F? Like what, why is it harder for me to get out? And she was like, well, did you ever consider that maybe because you did the upper levels, it was harder for you to walk that back? And I was like, no, I didn't think, I didn't consider that. But that's super helpful. Thank you, yeah, and but I remember specifically distinctly at one point you're one of your aunts. Mark was saying to me well, you know, he was a complete fraud, right. And I was like, oh, super uncomfortable, I'm like let's not talk about this, change the subject quick. So it took me longer than it took you.
Speaker 1:Yep.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Here's a good one, billy Boob Billy.
Speaker 3:Boob doing my part. Thank you, Billy.
Speaker 1:Boob, we appreciate it.
Speaker 3:We love, we accept Billy's of all forms oh here's a good one, Matt Elliott.
Speaker 1:He's got in his thumbnail. He's wearing a Hail Xenu shirt, which is amazing.
Speaker 2:Oh, yay but.
Speaker 1:I also like his comments very, very proactively in terms of just pronunciation. Mark is correct, Saskatchewan. Thank you.
Speaker 3:Matt, Now I read that as how I pronounce it Saskatchewan.
Speaker 1:Oh my goodness. Stephanie said I had Yorkshire puddings today with roast dinner.
Speaker 3:Oh, stephanie, so good.
Speaker 1:So good we have. We live in a high altitude. It's over, I want to say it's over, 6,000 feet above sea level.
Speaker 3:It is.
Speaker 1:And so you have to have. You have to kind of fine tune your recipe for Yorkshire pudding, and we have the perfect recipe. You have to kind of fine tune your recipe for Yorkshire pudding, and we have the perfect recipe. Did I don't think Cece's Comfort Cooking has our? Does she have our Yorkshire pudding recipe?
Speaker 3:No, not yet. I have it ready, I just have to send it to her.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we should give her that one, and we are going to make the beans. By the way, folks, she's got a great there.
Speaker 3:That is pretty good Family beans Yep.
Speaker 1:So good. Bonnie Bailey says my great aunt did a touch assist on me when I was little. I thought it was odd, didn't know what it was at the time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Super, creepy Super weird.
Speaker 1:Selena says places around me, suri, can't name them.
Speaker 3:Suri, can't say them, can you?
Speaker 1:Oh.
Speaker 3:Suri, can't say them, can you?
Speaker 1:Tuggeranong, jurumbara and Canberra.
Speaker 3:Jurumbara, Canberra.
Speaker 1:I'm pretty sure that those are all in Australia, Selena.
Speaker 3:Tuggeranong, Tuggeranong. But yeah, Jurumbara thanks for spicing up our pronunciation life that's like. Come on, appreciate it that's really kind of unfair. You know, I have a handicap, as it were, I guess, to link to to. Uh, actually, I take it back. I I've done three dialects. I'm on my third dialect. Number one was Scientology, number two was English English and number three was American English. They're all completely different, so cut me some slack, gosh, darn it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, cut her. Cover some slack. Cut her some slack. Code Monkey. Thank you for that. I wish I was a fly on the wall. When you two saw South Park locked in the closet for the first time, your reactions must have been amusing. You know, I remember exactly where we were. We were in an apartment that we were renting in Lee Summit, Missouri, and I was sitting on the sofa watching it and you were standing in the bedroom door.
Speaker 3:I'm pretty sure I locked myself in the closet to not hear it. In the doorway of the bedroom. No, no, no.
Speaker 1:When they said Scientologists actually believe that. When they put that title at the bottom, I looked over and I was like is this for real? Is this the OT levels? Is this what is confidential? And Claire was like pretty much, that's pretty much exactly what it is. And claire was like pretty much, that's pretty much exactly what it is. And I was like you have got to be kidding me. Yeah, I mean, I was already. The programming was the deprogramming was already pretty much done by then, but whatever was left, it sped that, sped it up, uh, by a great deal. Like it was was like okay, definitely silliness, amber. Thank you for that. Hi Mike and Claire. Hi Amber.
Speaker 3:Oh, amber Vaness. Hey, amber, amber has all kinds of crazy cadet stories. Amber, hit me up if you ever want to tell your story, honey.
Speaker 1:Awesome. No talk, tony. We all recovered our own time, claire. Thank you, no talk, tony.
Speaker 3:Thank you no talk, Tony.
Speaker 1:Lafanda question when Claire's book is out, could you offer the two books and a slip case for collectors?
Speaker 3:That would be amazing, but I don't think I'm going to have any books.
Speaker 1:I don't think I'm going to have any books left by the time Claire's come. Maybe if you can figure out a way to make a slip case for like a hundred, maybe, maybe we save the last hundred, or maybe we save a certain amount so we could do them as a kit. It's not a bad idea, lafanda. Thank you very much.
Speaker 3:Yes, thank you.
Speaker 1:Curious Kirstie's kids in Scientology disconnected from dad Parker Stevenson. You know, I don't think they ever were made to disconnect from Parker.
Speaker 3:But they definitely were in Scientology.
Speaker 1:Well, no, I know that, but I don't think it's true and I can't remember the girl's name yeah but um, I don't think they had to disconnect from parker. I don't think I don't know I think there was some kind of weird um, some kind of weird deal that kirstie might have made. Um, we're wrapping it up here, guys. Ariel surreal, ariel cereal says. As I live there, a local would say Skatchewan or Sketchwin.
Speaker 3:It was True, and Lily.
Speaker 1:True and Lily, and the dad's name is Parker Stevenson. I don't think. I actually think they even have his last name. I think it's True and Lily Stevenson. I don't know, actually I don't know what they go by. Good question, guys, I don't know. If they want to tell their stories, I'd love to hear them, but I'm pretty sure that they're in Scientology or they orbit in the Scientology circles, even if they don't really do.
Speaker 3:Scientology courses and stuff like that.
Speaker 1:Yep A lot of those celebrity kids are barely Scientologists on most occasions, and Connor Tom Cruise's kid. He gets into all sorts of nonsense in Scientology, so he's definitely in Question. I've heard the name Jaeger on SPTV. Is this related anyway to the Amway Jaegers? I was in Amway a long time ago. Talk about cults, nuts and board. I'm not sure. I know the only Yeagers. I know a Mark Yeager and he is a head. It's spelled Y-A-G-E-R, right there's no, no, no, it's Y-A-E-G-E-R.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, you're right. And then I don't know Mark Yeager. I knew another guy named Yoder. I don't know of any other Yeagers and I don't know. I don't think. I don't think that Mark Yeager was involved with Amway in any way, because he was in the Sea Organization since he was a kid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't think so and you know there are a lot of Scientologists for a while that were in Amway and in Scientology. Newt Fleijenring was one of them. He was a big Amway guy. He was pumping out tons of Amway cassettes. And then my friend's dad, ron Radstrom, he was big, big into Amway for many years. I mean we had all kinds of Amway stuff when I lived with him.
Speaker 1:I lived with the Radstroms when I was a young kid and when I was like I want to say 13 or 14, and we were eating Amway cookies and Amway shakes and Amway soaps. I mean you name it. Amway had a ton of stuff and they he probably. I want to say if he didn't have $50,000 worth of Amway merch just that we used um, I'd be surprised and and he was getting a lot of people in um. Rest in peace, ron Ransom. He was a good dude, the one true. Morbs says hi, claire and Mark loving the C2C interviews Awesome, thank you. Yeah, we, yeah, look for look on that channel in the next few days and you'll see some more stuff coming up.

It's just glued or epoxied on there, so it's possible for it to come off If you you got to take it easy over there. Bo Beats, I don't know what you're doing.

Yeah, meanwhile, if you want to stay, we're going to put a little thing up here. This is going to be a new thing that we're going to do on all our videos.
