Episode 443: Hale Bopp MmmHmm Hale Bopp (Part Two of Packing A Purple Shroud)

Show Notes Episode 443: Hale Bopp, Mmmmhmm, Hale Bopp
Part Two of Packing a Purple Shroud

This week Host Dave Bledsoe drunkenly gets into a white panel van thinking it was an Uber and spent three days in a UFO Cult before they kicked him out for being an asshole. (Again) On the show this week we finish our story about the Heaven’s Gate Cult. (Trigger Warning, balls are cut off)

Along the way we discover Dave was quite the connoisseur of uncomfortable ways to fly. Then we pick back up with Herff and Bonnie who are busy building themselves a clique of believers.  We follow along as they assemble their “Away Team” (Honestly, these people were watching too much Star Trek and that is saying something coming from THIS podcast),moving from “starbases” in the woods to a mansion in San Diego. We cover the innovative solution to their sexual desires. (They cut off their balls) Finally, we discuss their ascension and why America found it so fucking funny. (America has bad taste)

Our Sponsor this week is Art’s Intergalactic Tours, when it is time to leave the Earth behind, book with Art’s! We open the show with Art Bell and close with Leo Moracchioli who plays us a little bop!
