Chapter 1: What is 'Last Update on the Left' and how is it different from the original show?
Welcome to the new show, ladies and gentlemen. What? This is a new show. No! It's the first new show that we've done in a while. And guess what? The new show? Hell of a lot like the old show. Yeah. Welcome to Last Update on the Left.
We are going in this new series based entirely on this magical rectangle in your hand. Only on the app, bitches. Is that good? Yeah. Does that help?
I can't say serving cunts anymore. Oh, did you already use it all up on our makeover mandate?
Oh my lord, did I. Yes, we really expanded that. Hi, I'm Henry Zebrowski.
I'm Ed Larson. I'm super excited for the new show. This is going to help me out. I feel like I'm fucking a decade behind you all, and so I need this personally.
But for the new show, we were tasked. with our Lords and masters at our advertising companies to say, Hey, like, what if you do something fun and different?
We're like, what if it's sort of, and what we'll do is this thing, we'll update old episodes, old topics that we have not like, like that have been years since we've now, like we can relook at it and kind of a concise, fun way that I hope that you like.

Chapter 2: Who is Lord Rael and why is he significant?
Well, as you say, Ed, you feel like you're a decade behind. In some cases, we're talking about stuff that we spoke of 12 years ago. A long time ago. Yeah. Today's episode, in fact, the one that we're starting off with, was something that we first talked about in, I'm pretty sure, 2012. Pretty certain. Yeah, 2011, 2012. Lord Rael. Mr. Lord Rael. Now, Eddie, you don't know who Lord Rael is.
I know a little bit. I remember y'all had some weird beef when we were back at the creek.
Yeah.
I remember you guys always yelling at him, and I remember seeing a couple videos at the old live shows and stuff.
Oh, yes. Now, just first of all, Primer, Raymond Lear is his real name.

Chapter 3: What are the origins and beliefs of Lord Rael's cult?
Raymond Lear is actually not his real name. Is it Raymond Elwood Lear? It is Raymond Howard Lear. Raymond Howard. Whatever. That's one of the updates that we found out. We found out his real name is Raymond Howard. That's incredible.
Lord Royale is a cult leader. I'm going to say of a boutique cult. Oh, yeah. That started in the United States of America, moved to Mexico. But where we get involved is somewhere around 2012. We found Lord Royale. I was listening to Coast to Coast AM. And I heard somebody call in during the open line section where they were like, you will all face the wrath of Lord Rael.
And I looked it all up and I found that there was this man, this very fat, dumpy bad man that believed that he had control over the weather and that he came from a UFO over Israel. And we started talking about him. And then this is back when Facebook was something that... normal people use. It was fine. It was fun. It was almost fun.
And we had a group, like, you know, our Facebook group, we were, like, involved in all the time.
Well, it was a very small... It was, like, less... I think it was, like, 500 people at that point. We knew a lot of the... Like, we ended up meeting a lot of these people. We ended up becoming friends with some of them that we're still friends with to this day. Like, it was a very cool little group. And this group... infiltrated the Lord Rael Facebook group.
So Lord Rael's because it started with them trying to sneak into our Facebook groups and then the mods like would catch them and then they would create because Lord Rael on his Facebook group they would do these really long ecumenical style names that were really funny, like Archduke, blah, blah, blah, which you're going to hear a couple today.
And so our people would make fake ones and get all the dirt out of them and then just send us all of the stuff from the inside of his cult.
Yeah. And because it's one of those like very, it's one of those harmless cults, like completely and totally harmless.
Well, so far. So far, yeah. And mostly, well, it is harmful to a lot of their credit scores, and I think it's also extremely harmful to any sort of regular employment. Yeah. Now, is it a sexy, sexy cult? No.

Chapter 4: What controversies and criminal activities are associated with Lord Rael?
But he's also red. real fat now. Like, he is so fat. He's really fat.
That must have been a strong horse. And I will say, there's nothing wrong with it. No, no. Because I actually think, weirdly, he looks good. Yeah, I love being fat.
I think he looks better with some meat on his bones. When he was skinny, he looked like a criminal because, hey, guess what? He was a criminal. Yeah. He was arrested. This is just incredible stuff. Him and his mother were... Went and kidnapped his ex-girlfriend and kept her hostage using furry handcuffs. And then finally, either she got away or they let her go, one of the two.
And so Ray and his mother, like, fled to a local gym. I don't know why they went to the gym. That's the only time he ever went to the gym.
That's where they had a shower.
Yeah. Yeah, the why. The why, yeah. And so they went there and they called the police to try to get ahead of the story. They called the police and they're like, no, no, no. This woman kidnapped us. She was assaulting us.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I knew then I was the victim of a sexual assault.
Use the handcuffs from Spencer's. Yes, Lord Spencer, my main saint, the one that protects me from my own mother.
This was before he was Lord Rael. This was a couple of years before. And the funny thing about it is that no one really knows... how the Lord Rael thing started, like where he started from, you know, how he got followers. He just appeared on YouTube one day, like he appeared on YouTube with this like message to the world saying that I am the Lord God.

Chapter 5: How has Lord Rael's appearance and public persona changed over time?
Okay. It's just a sanctuary. Sanctuary. That's because he looks like Quasimodo.
Brothers and sisters, and that is what you are. My brothers and sisters.
Whoa, he dropped the British! Yeah, he dropped it.
I have... A love for the people of this temple and this room that I cannot properly express.
It looks like your mom's boyfriend that you don't want to have anything to do with.
And I have a thankful mind.
Is he filming this on a Blackberry?
For what all of you have done through some very trying times. This has been an amazing year in so many ways. We have... We have come so close to our goal.
I've gone from double D to double E. We can see more than just the light at the end of the tunnel.

Chapter 6: What is the role of Richard Ruff in Lord Rael's movement?
Yeah, he's from Chicago.
Yeah. Yeah. And he was in the Guardian Angels. And there's someone who was doing some investigation on Lord Rael got a hold of one of the Guardian Angels that Raymond Lear worked with. Henry, I want you to read this Chicago man's estimation.
His name is Raymond Nelwood. He was my boss in the Guardian Angels. I started in 81. The Knights came to him after that UFO did what it did to Jerusalem. He had no clue what's happening to him. They did this to fool us. It's the Knights Templar. I was a member of them when I met Raymond again. He is a host. No shit. He has a colostomy bag. He got it years ago when he was abusing drugs.
He has a big history. He has a big history. So that's so Raymond Elwood.
Imagine someone with a colostomy bag trying to stop you from doing a crime.
Hold on.
Hold on.

Chapter 7: What is the significance of the Torah codes in Lord Rael's cult?
And lastly, before we get into the current timeline, he claimed to be, like, a high-ranking Freemason at one point before he was Lord Rael. Oh, sure. But the same guy who investigated him looked up, like, I mean, he was able to get a hold of, like, some Masonic records.
Yes.
Like, when Raymond Elwood was supposedly a part of the Freemasons, and Raymond Elwood was suspended for nonpayment of dues. Yeah, right.
Because you can't make God pay dues. Because he said, I was blackballed from the Freemasons for trying to tell the truth. So funny.
Secret society coming out just to be like, this guy's not part of us.
We're not supposed to really disclose our membership, but that fat fuck has got nothing to do with us. We actually are looking for... Honestly? Zendaya. We're trying to get our hands on some zoomers.
Sydney Sweeney, please. And the reason why we keep doing that voice and why it's so different from the one that you just heard, he used to speak in this accent. He used to roll his, like, I am Lord Rael.
I'm trying to find the OG videos. Remember his YouTube channel? Here it is. I'm sending this to you right now, Rob. This is the fifth seal video. Because remember, his YouTube channel is Christ Has Returned.
Yeah, Christ Has Returned. The other thing about them is that they don't really release shit all that often except for obsessive videos about the Torah codes. They love the Torah codes.

Chapter 8: What major events occurred after Lord Rael and his followers moved to Jerusalem?
was kind of this offshoot of an extreme group that believed a former rabbi like he was such a good dude and they liked him so much eventually they began to think that he was a messiah and then there was because he told all of them he was the only one who knew the secret name of god and he could work this was from back in the day and so the secret name of god gave him all these powers because that's in the torah so they have this idea there's like this super super super secret name jehovah
That's not it. No, that ain't it. Jay-Z doesn't even know the name. It's not Yahweh either. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like, it is literally a, it's a very secret name. And so, but that's why, I also find Torah codes to be fascinating.
Well, Torah codes is a, if I'm understanding this correctly, I might be wrong on this, but it is assigning numerical values to letters in the Torah. It's numerology. Yeah, it's numerology. And by assigning these numerical values, you can figure out secret messages.
You ever see pie? Yes. Remember how they talk about how they're trying to find the secret name for God in pie? Yeah. Using mathematics.
Very Jewish movie. Yes.
Yeah. That's the Torah codes. And these people are obsessed with the Torah codes. Okay.
My children. Ha ha. You are growing weary of the weight. You tire of the struggle against the unworthy, the wanton, and the wicked. You wish me to enact my final judgment upon them and be done with it. I do not blame you for this.
It still only has 8.8 thousand views. Very soon.
But not until more of them have tasted the suffering that they have wrought upon those who have royally served me.
