There's no place to escape to. This is the last podcast. On the left. Side stories. Side stories.
That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories. Yes. Rumble, young man rumble. What we got here is the new sheriff in town when it comes to Legos. And honestly, I'm really happy that you came so hard at this branch. I don't know if you even understood that you were coming at the Mormon church directly.
Yeah, I found that out later. I was surprised I found out they were Mormon, because I thought Mormons aren't supposed to steal and lie, you know? You'd be surprised.
They also fuck little girls. Really?
Yeah. Oh, yeah. They marry super, super young. Yeah.
You're right. They do marry very young, like 12. Go over to Nevada because it's still legal there.
One of my cousins is Mormon, and I remember they got married in their teens, I think. Yeah. It was very, very young.
So they can have sex with each other in the eyes of the Lord and begin cranking out their Mormon army.
Hey, they know loopholes too, I guess. So, uh, yeah. You remember the poophole loophole? Did you ever deal with that as a child? No, uh, I never, I wasn't raised Mormon, but, um, I've heard about it. Yeah.
It's not real.
Oh, it's not.
No, the poophole loophole is, it's not a loophole. You're getting done with the butt.
No, it doesn't count. God doesn't see that as sex. God thinks that's fine.
Well, I'm glad we have that I'm glad we have that on camera. So what we have here is this guy. I love this fucking guy. You've done such good work with your channel. I've been following you since the McKinney Manor story. And what you did over there was fascinating. I honestly think it was necessary. And you're doing it in a very flagrant way. But I think that's why they call you Reckless Ben.
Yeah, I kind of just, like, pull stuff up out of my butt, and I'm like, maybe this will work. I don't know. Let's try it, you know? And we just try random stuff and just document the experience. That's the whole channel, basically. It just has to come up with the stupidest ideas we can think of and try to act them out in real life. But doing it for good, you know?
You know, Ben, do you feel that when you... I think that is interesting, is that you... Were you searching for stories, like, randomly? Or is it... It really is, like, something that inspired you. Like, what got you into the whole...
what started your youtube channel um so i i was living in my car across the street at my friend's house and he lives across the street from scientology and i was going online so i was like i wonder what goes on inside like i know all these billionaires pay money to believe in an alien that a science fiction writer wrote about so i'm googling it online like what goes on inside scientology and like there's like rumors of what goes on but i was like the I don't want to believe some rumor. I want to see it for myself. There's all these conspiracies of what goes on inside. But just show me what goes on inside. So then I start watching all these Scientology documentaries. So I'm like, finally, if I watch these documentaries, I'll find out what goes on inside.
And then other documentaries show what goes on inside. I'm like, what? With a million dollars, these guys couldn't figure out what the answer is to Scientology? So I was like, you know what? I'm homeless in my car right now, and I could even make a better documentary than all these documentaries. So I call it the world's best Scientology documentary. We made it with a $50 budget, and I was homeless. I had no video experience ever in my life, and I still made it a better documentary. We found out all their secrets. Well, not all their secrets, but we found out a lot of their secrets.
It's fascinating because we've also—did you find yourself on the bad end of Scientology?
um yeah they tried to sue me for like a million dollars i guess they do that a lot yeah but then i made my own religion called uh the church of scientology sucks it got approved by the irs and now i just believe that everything i'm saying in my documentary is true i just believe that scientology sucks and so they can't sue me for what i believe in you know or else that's discriminating me against my religion and that's how i got out of that one dude have you thought about getting a law degree
