good afternoon
Brian D 12:03:33 PM
Just gotta polka 'round outta the gate. This next Yugo one is nice too
Krista (host) 12:05:03 PM
good afternoon, Brian, leaving em on "reed" today
Brian D 12:05:15 PM
Bosnia/ Herzegovina that is.... pics of Sarajevo look like such a beautiful city
Brian D 12:07:53 PM
Can't keep up with the cult documentaries lately... so many.
Krista (host) 12:09:41 PM
I agree with that, Brian. I'm a long time consumer of cult documentaries and now it's like there's a new cult with accompanying documentary every day
Brian D 12:15:59 PM
I read about the Mother God/ Love has Won cult about 1-2 yrs ago crazy. Then we watched the recent docu on that one. Hey let's feed our leader quarts of colloidal silver every day and a bunch of drugs too...
Krista (host) 12:18:59 PM
did the leader turn blue?
West Siiiiide Kim 12:20:04 PM
Good morning!
Lee Chandler 12:20:54 PM
OR... are we being led to believe all these cults exist? Entertainment factor aside. Good topic for the next gathering of the WPRB listener cult.
Krista (host) 12:21:42 PM
hello West Siiiiide Kim! good point, Lee.
Krista (host) 12:23:40 PM
cults who build compounds are especially interesting to me, like the Warren Jeffs Mormons and this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuwaubian_Nation
Krista (host) 12:27:50 PM
Ron Trudeau went hard with this album title
Krista (host) 12:28:25 PM
sitting at my desk trying to prepare for saying that on the air.
Brian D 12:33:54 PM
Krista, yes! The leader turned blue. Her followers were yapping on their YouTube channel about how the non believers always say "you'll turn blue and these people don't know what they're talking about.. "etc. Then! Cut to a picture of the leader's face close up and.. she's BLUE!
Brian D 12:34:12 PM
Ahhh the power of editing
Brian D 12:36:25 PM
That Warren J / FLDS is horrible. Read about him 10 years ago or so... jail is not enough.
Krista (host) 12:38:08 PM
I agree, Brian. A truly awful man and ethos.
Krista (host) 12:40:40 PM
LOL Brian, I LOVE a good sarcastic closeup
Krista (host) 12:41:12 PM
Louis Theroux is amazing for them, and for his various documentaries. The one he did about white supremacists was chilling
Brian D 1:13:43 PM
Very Grover-esque vocals
Krista (host) 1:14:23 PM
exactly right, Brian, lol
Brian D 1:14:31 PM
Oh it WAS Grover!
Brian D 1:15:12 PM
Would fit right into a playlist of outsider music
Brian D 1:21:21 PM
After that... we had Daniel Johnston and... after that... we had Gary Wilson and... after that we had... Grover.. and after that we had The Space Lady and...
Krista (host) 1:22:03 PM
dangerous dancing barefoot in this room full of legos but I'm doing it anyway
beef 1:25:32 PM
this song is a cautionary tale about putting your goats to bed at a reasonable time
Krista (host) 1:28:41 PM
like a well-worn dance stone, beef
Brian D 1:30:17 PM
Just listened to a French spy movie lp this a.m. Nicolas Godin "Au service de la France". Good instrumental stuff
