What's the worst cult? Debate starts at 22:36. We're joined by professional Rugby player, Nick Mardi (https://www.instagram.com/nickmardi13/) and model/actress Sarah Lea (https://www.instagram.com/thesarahlea/). They brought in the "Heaven's Gate Cult" as the worst, but they didn't foresee that I'd bring in a cult that has killed far more people with the permanent birth control that is Steampunk. Rucka brings in the Alt-right, but do they wear goggles? Who would you rather spend 5 minutes in an elevator with? It's a toss-up for me.

We also received another awesome care package from super-fan JIM. He sent us a follow-up to last week's package and actually included paper plates this time, calling Rucka's bluff.

And speaking of Rucka (https://www.youtube.com/user/itsRucka) he brought the heat with the alt-right this week, and the debate delved into Antifa vs White Supremacist territory. Who wins? You, the listener. Mikey Bolts (https://twitter.com/MikeyBolts) was sitting on a broken chair all episode that finally gave out near the end. See if you can tell when it happens on video (audio-only listeners probably won't be able to tell due to my masterful editing).

Bonus episode #3 is coming soon, but you can purchase #2 from iTunes (https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/maddox-vs-the-universe-2/id1233454674), Amazon (http://amzn.to/2qWhDCQ) and our own website:

We round out the episode with a story about a man giving CPR to his pet tortoise. Here's an idea: maybe don't leave a tortoise unsupervised in your back yard if there's a pond? They're supposedly just like babies. I also learned that tortoises aren't water proof. Whatever, I am. And we also talk about a total badass who takes a nail to the chest and gets annoyed that he has to take time off work.

The voicemail number is: 1-562-58-I-RULE (1-562-584-7853).
