Emergency Pod: Max has touched the lathe of heaven and brought about the idiocy of our 'Merican pope. Max, Chris and Misty discuss how we somehow got it right, what it means for the American Trad Cath movement. They also share their plans to ensure we can avoid sharing citizenship with the holy father by joining a Californian secession movement inspired by recent episodes of The Drain, a podcast exploring California local politics.

Help Earth ascend to the fifth dimension as Misty, Max and Chris explore the rise in popularity of the Starseed belief system and review its decades long history in the esoteric community.

Max, Misty and Chris enter the sphere of Crystal Mommies when they visited the 35th annual Nevada City Psychic Fair to help stimulate the local economy. They all had their futures told, Misty got an aura photo, Christ got a Raccoon necklace and Max got an unhealthy obsession with a naked bear lady statue. The gang eventually end up musing on their social anxiety and speculating about the sexuality of Misty's boss.

Folks, we have ourselves a CONCLAVE! In this episode Max indulges in his weird fascination with politics behind the Throne of St Peter while Chris and Misty enjoy his surprising lack of references to HBO's The Young Pope. We first discuss the current standing of the conclave and how Americans have decided to once again make it all about them. We then follow up with Max's failures of discipline as the crew scratch the surface of American Trad Caths and contemplate the complicated feelings of such a gold mine of future content at the expense of any sense of moral clarity or spirituality in our dying Empire
