The Smoker's Circle

On this episode we talk with a long time friend of ours, Amber, Amber has a bachelor's licensed therapist and currently works with juveniles who are being tried for violent sexual crimes. We talk about her time working at a residential mental health facility & some of the things she went through doing that, how the US medical system makes it difficult to access mental health, the problem with parents not properly teaching their kids about sex, and how the Pornhub 2020 list for most searched porn categories by state sounds fake.

On the second part of our conversation about cults we go a little in depth about the Australian New Age Cult also known as the "Family" ran by a woman name Anne Hamilton Byrne who believed she was the female form of Jesus and would kidnap children so she could "rebuild" humanity after the apocalypse. We also talk about the Japanese insurrectionist cult that had their own anime, Aum Shinrikyo. Who under the control of leader Shoko Asahara, committed a chemical gas attack in a Tokyo subway system in 1994, killing 13 and injuring hundreds more amongst other atrocities.
