Welcome to the B-Side, where every week we’ll dig a little deeper, drink a little longer, laugh a little harder, and share insights and itty bits you’ve never gotten to hear before.
In this episode of the podcast, the hosts excitedly open a summer care package sent by their friends, The Halls of Parental Advisory Movie Podcast, who are also fans of the show. The package contains a series of bubble-wrapped items that leave the hosts in fits of laughter, appreciating the humor and thoughtfulness of their friends. They also discuss the intense Southern heat, referencing a post by comedian Matt Mitchell. The conversation then shifts to a serious discussion about cults, specifically the LeBaron family, a polygamous sect of the LDS Church, and the tragic story of Anna LeBaron.
