And so like there's this whole kind of girl slash women culture of Spahn Ranch that's obviously being run by Charlie for Charlie, but like has a lot of space in it for the women to kind of have their own lives.

Again, I want to put it in the language of sexual exploitation. You know, so many of these women are vulnerable in a number of different ways and he individually grooms.

just to use that word that we use, you know, in that context, virtually each woman who comes to him, they, they find women when they're out partying, they find women who may, who have just made their way to the ranch one way or another. And Charlie, like laser beam, you know, for a while, we'll make that person, his object of attention. He'll figure out,

what their biggest vulnerability is, what their relationship with their father is. And then he'll kind of like provide this seemingly loving, gentle, paternal care for them, which then obviously almost always turns it to sexual attention. And the LSD part is definitely in there. I think that gets like a little overstated in our own kind of anti-

hallucinogen moment you know of the 80s and beyond the kind of just say no stuff that we're still living with but he like he knows how to use drugs as part of this for sure there's these kind of group you know trip experiences where he's the master of you know literally the master of ceremonies and And he arranges people. He tells people who they should have sex with and they listen, you know.

He would really lock in. I think this is the Scientology training. He had this idea of how you become your fullest person, and it was really about presence, about being there.

They just had very typically absent 1950s dads. Dad went out to work during the day, didn't really have much to do with the family.
