What happens when the Church of Scientology and the LAPD join forces during the holiday season? We're pulling back the curtain on this unlikely partnership, revealing both the glitz and the controversies. From the festive "Scientology Christmas Stories" at the Celebrity Center in Hollywood to the financial dealings that link stars like John Travolta and Tom Cruise with law enforcement, we tackle the complex web of influence and intrigue. You'll hear about uniformed LAPD officers taking the stage, the fundraising efforts that raise eyebrows, and the ripple effects this has on community relations.

Our Thanksgiving took a unique twist this year, and we're taking you along for the ride. Broadcasting from our new studio in Colorado, Claire and I decided to bring the holiday spirit to our friends Mike and Christie in their home instead of hosting as usual. Between recounting our fishing adventures in Florida and showcasing some holiday decorations crafted by our talented friend Leah, we're offering you a glimpse into our world beyond the microphones. Expect heartfelt stories, a touch of humor, and an appreciation for the connections that make this season special.

But the conversation doesn't stop at personal anecdotes. We dive into the murky waters of social media monitoring within Scientology, spotlighting actor Jim Meskimen's role as a so-called "Facebook police" operative. From his efforts to sever friendships to the broader implications for ex-members like us, we explore the surreal landscape of online surveillance. Plus, find out about our ongoing support for the Aftermath Foundation through quirky giveaways and merchandise that spark joy and raise awareness. Join us for a candid look at the intersection of celebrity, spirituality, and society.
