Full Episode
Oh, welcome back to Behind the Bastards, a podcast about bad people who are the people you'll be hearing about most in your daily life if you spend any amount of time on social media or listening to the news. But we're going to be talking about a fun one today, not as depressing as the bad people who make up the rest of your day-to-day life. I don't know.
They make up my day-to-day life, and that's pretty depressing. But not today, because we've got Molly Lambert as a guest. Molly, welcome on the show. Are you ready to have your day be worse?
Oh, yeah.
Oh, great. A transition to the tall boys of Zevia.
For some reason, that's very funny to me.
Yeah, yeah. 12 ounces just wasn't enough. Molly, what do you got to plug today at the start of the episode before I introduce our bastard?
I've got a book that came out called Double Axe and Pop. Holy shit. Congratulations. Yes. Thank you. It's out from commercial type. It's about musical duo acts and everybody check it out. And then later this year, I have a podcast coming out called Jenna World, which is about the history of the porn industry through kind of the Jenna Jameson story. Oh, awesome.
Yeah, that sounds fascinating. Well, today we're not talking about Jenna Jameson. We're not talking about anyone who has ever done anything good at all. We are talking about Kevin Smith. Not that Kevin Smith. Not the one who directed Dogma. Although it is, I don't know, we'll title this the other Kevin Smith or some shit.
We're talking, this guy is a Jamaican pastor who led a charismatic Christian end time sect in Jamaica and lost his mind as a result of COVID lockdowns and wound up trying to have dozens of people's throats in mosque during a church service. Sensational. This is a wild story. And the fact that he has just named Kevin Smith the whole time is going to be frustrating. I'll cop to that right now.
