My god that video is dire. The male host wouldn’t stop nodding. The hosts have no idea what they’ve let into their space.

Incredibly satisfying to learn of Tony's decades long efforts to pay tribute to Burnham.

--------------------------

The Canadian Scientologist PR Lady was so boring, it was impossible to get through. I had to skip around to the end of it.

I remember when I finally quit Scientology, I could even as an SP do a better job acting as a Scientology positive PR person than any of the Dept of Special Affairs PR spokespeople who are horribly dull.

Boring PR while feigning Scientology is contributing to a bright shinny future for humanity, is the Scientology schtick.

The truth which I try to simplify every chance I get on their YouTube appearances, is translate the Scientology syllabus (the "Bridge") into pseudo-therapy training and exorcism training, and then their practice of their pseudo-therapy and exorcism. And throw in Xenu to explain why they do their five secret exorcism steps.

Scientology's core wonky practices are simply not summarized well I've concluded. It's spiritual quackery of course, but it's spiritual pseudo-therapy aimed at bad karma, and then the exorcism of upper secret Scientology aims at the surplus souls who are chock full of super bad karma Xenu loaded onto those surplus souls.

Scientology's a supposed soul rejuvenation double whammy subject.

Cringe worthy isn't the half of it. Good grief Charlie Brown, where did you find these fools? Community access channels on cable tv systems were bad enough, but throw in 'podcasts' and every fool and village idiot can now be heard. It seems that 3 of them gathered here to 'enlighten' Toronto and the rest of Ontario. Pass the Molsons please, this thing needs alcohol to be tolerated. Honey, call up the pizza place and get us some poutine too.

Where are Bob and Doug McKenzie when we need them?

I wish they would interview Shelly Miscavige.

Please tell me that's a SCTV or SNL skit. Unintentionally hilarious in every way.

And I salute your contribution to astronomy in chronicling Mr. Burham's amazing life and contribution to our knowledge of the cosmos.

Oh wow, can anyone make it through this? I tried, I really tried. The “hosts” ignore her until all of a sudden she says anyone can be a scientologist and still keep their own religion. After suffering through that schtick, I surrendered. Man, that was less polished than my dog’s TikTok.
