Episode 2
Thursday, 13 November, 2025
Welcome to Season 4 - Episode 2!**THIS EPISODE HAS SOUND ISSUES**This week, we're going to blast off (literally) into one of the strangest true stories in American history: Heaven’s Gate.In 1997, 39 people dressed in identical black outfits and Nike Decades “left their vehicles” in hopes of catching a ride on a UFO trailing the Hale–Bopp comet. Behind the headlines were Marshall Applewhite (a fallen preacher’s kid turned prophet) and Bonnie Nettles (a nurse turned spiritual guide) who built a belief system that mixed Theosophy, UFOs, and the Book of Revelation into one cosmic cocktail of control. Sal is with me again to unpack how it started with a Presbyterian boy from Texas and a New Age nurse...and how it ended, with purple shrouds, poisoned applesauce, and a spaceship that never came.Grab your drink, and let’s talk about the cult that tried to evacuate Earth, the poison in this episode is the Cosmonaut.If you want to drink with us, you will need lime juice, vodka, cardamom bitters, ginger liquer.The recipe for the Cosmonaut is as follows:1 1/2 oz La Poire Flavored Vodka1 dash Cardamom Bitters1 oz Lime juice3/4 oz Ginger LiqueurFill cocktail shaker with ice, add ingerdients, shake ingredients until chilled. Strain into cocktail glass over an ice sphere.
