Alexis Novak and Barak Hardley are starting a cult. He's former pastor, now an atheist, she's a yoga instructor (so, like, enough said.) It's not gonna be pretty. But it will be sexy.
Alexis Novak and Barak Hardley
Ooh, important note: A little bit of audio disappeared when we start discussing The Family. Keep in mind, we weren't saying anything of importance. We never do.
When starting you're own fake cult, who better to talk to then someone who's both a doctor in religious studies and a former MTV reality star? We sit down with Susie Meister from the Brain Candy Podcast.
Barak and Alexis call out some cult leaders in their own lives and look up the Heaven's Gate Wikipedia.
This week we look at Mike Warnke, Barak's childhood comedy hero. We hear about his amazing and fully false exploits with the occult and Vietnam. Alexis says the F word a bunch and Barak straight up asks for nudes. Also we mention Christian ska and disc golf.
Alexis and Barak discuss which celebrities they'd draft into their cult, the Smallville sex cult, and what the good parts they can learn from the Source Family.
Barak and Alexis discuss the cult they're totally starting, the Rajneeshi featured in the documentary "Wild Wild Country", potential names for their cult, and Barak tries out a cult press conference after a lube disaster.
