About this listen

I’m Calvin, the [Cult]ured Boy. I have 1 dad, 4 moms, and 44 siblings. (Yes, seriously!) I was born in a cult, broke free, and am now exploring life and the world, and sharing my experiences along the way. Leaving everything to start over was the scariest time of my life. That terror has since turned into wonder as I explore a life led with curiosity. My goal with this channel is to bring you the most - honest, - human, and - insightful conversations in the entire universe--all through the eyes of an ex-cult member. Curiosity changed my life (still does). It'll change yours, too. :)Calvin Wayman Social Sciences

  • This Israeli Dad's Private Confessions Left Me Speechless! | ep 15
    Jul 19 2025

    What is life like as an everyday Israeli right now? Not someone in government, but from a dad? Today, I’m talking with Sagi Shrieber--an Israeli family man who was in the film, Hearts Unknown. Today he opens up like ever before, what life is like day-to-day as an Israeli. MY MISSIONThis is part of my mission with [Cult]ured Boy—to go beyond headlines, beyond governments, and connect human to human. Curiosity got me out of a cult, and I believe it can bridge divides across the world. If this moves you, share it. Subscribe. Help spread stories that remind us: no matter where we’re from, we’re more human than we are apart.Watch my full-length documentary Hearts Unknown here: https://youtu.be/DHkY6SUNFls_SHARING THIS VIDEOThis video is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution.

  • The Story of arguing with Chris Rock for 40 minutes! (True Story!) | ep 14
    Jul 19 2025

    Chris Rock…what just happened??The simulation just glitched, fam. I’ll explain everything—pull up a chair. Join me and my friend Anthony as we unpack the wild story and dive into some of the most pressing (and bizarre) conversations happening in culture right now.SUPPORT MY WORKIf you dig what I’m doing here, do the algorithm gods a favor: like, subscribe, and share it with a fellow misfit. It tells the machine to do the missionary work for us—and helps me feel slightly less insane for quitting my day job and living off credit cards to make this. Either way, thanks for being here :)Watch my full-length documentary Hearts Unknown here: https://youtu.be/DHkY6SUNFlsPS: If Chris Rock finds this—yo, thanks for the convo, man.
