In this episode, the guys kick off with a quick chat about Damon's temporary home, Dunedin, as well as shouting out some listener-suggested topics.

After this, they begin a deep-dive into the Hillsong Church, sharing what has been learned over an emergency 18hr research spree to prepare for the show. Topics include Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz' recent cheating scandal and expulsion from the church (4:20), Hillsong's inherent capitalistic motivators (11:28), the parasitic nature of Hillsong in terms of its extraction of money from the population and takings minds (21:42), and the church's shadowy ties to Australian PM, Scott Morrison (38:59).

In the back half of the show, they talk about Hillsong's and Christianity's grasp on power, the upper echelons of the Western World where most decisions are made by a few, and investigating subcultures (46:38).
