Bonnie covers an Australian cult called Universal Medicine, also known as UniMed. We also ramble about a lot of things. But bottom line, be wary of doctors who brand themselves and suggest carrots.

How come we did not name these episodes, 1 for the Money and 2 for the Show?! Damnit. Anyhoo, listen to the second part of Elvis' story as it relates to religion. We had never heard the story of the Osmonds and the Mormon Bible. Sadly, we had heard the one about Pastor Bob Joyce.

Researching the spiritual life of Elvis forced me to watch a lot of clips. Damn, how could someone exude so much sexiness, especially decades and decades ago. 

Karen recounts the Christian childhood of Elvis, and wonders if he was as screwed up with purity culture as the rest of us.

It's Karen's solo time, so here's another true crime episode. Any time faith is part of the equation, our listeners know the mindset of the people involved more than the average person. This story is about the family of Chad Wallin-Reed and 6 young men out for a reckless time in California.
