So what I learned from this episode is that:

A) getting a divorce in NYC seems to directly be related to wanting to try out cults. First Keith with Landmark and now Chemda - 'warning this retreat has cult like brainwashing tendencies' came up on the first page when I googled. I love the overlap to my other podcast obsession for True Crime/Cult News

B) Chemda you need to go on more vacation if you are that bad at packing. Which is generally something I recommend to everybody - getting out of your regular environment every once in a while is a necessity.

C) Get the My Favorite Murder ladies on the show. SSDGM <3

Now I *really* get why Chemda made the Facebook post about being ready to start yelling for ten days. Heh.

I mentioned the Quepasana in another show thread when you first mentioned you wanted to do a silent meditation retreat because to me those other ones always sounded like misery. I was in Maui in May and my friend had just done her Quepasana and it honestly sounded like a 10 days of camping in paradise so I was instantly sold. There's a waiting list but maybe check out it out... https://www.quepasana.com/

also Rojo for guest host!

I read this article about someone who did the same silent retreat while Chemda was busy sitting and being quiet:

I have questions. How'd this bitch take pictures of people and places there when you're supposed to relinquish everything, no technology? It sounds like a rigorous program, certainly, but if Chemda can't even silently giggle at farts, how's someone else getting away with taking all kinds of photos and whatnot?

I think the most shocking thing about the whole story is that Chemda left the house for a 10 day trip with no toiletries!!!

I can't go to the grocery store without at least a toothbrush and a tube of lipstick on me. That would've made me so anxious, I wouldn't have lasted more than an hour.

I voted yes because, after thinking about alot about it, I think that cult R Kelly successfully started and maintains is dumber than this hippie, no shorts, oatmeal and raw cereal cult

This was the funniest episode in ages. The mix of Rojo, the crazy cult and the first episode back was so good. They're normally great, but this was aces babillion!
