Scientology: You know it, you hate it. To be fair, unless you\\u2019re a Scientologist, they hate you too! So it\\u2019s all even-stevens. But one person they really hate is Mike Rinder. How could anyone hate someone who\\u2019s last name sounds like reindeer, especially just a few weeks after Santa made his international rounds on that reindeer-driven slay? Well, having spent his youth doing things like, for example, swabbing the decks of L. Ron Hubbard\\u2019s yacht, Rinder eventually made it into the elite sect of Scientology known as the Sea Organization, eventually becoming Scientology\\u2019s International Spokesperson and the head of its Office of Special Affairs. Then, he escaped and became a fearless and outspoken ex-member. If you didn\\u2019t listen to the first interview we did with Mike, we\\u2019re officially mad at you! But we can forgive and forget\\u2014just check it out here.\\xa0

So why did we have him back on the show? Because he\\u2019s so fucking lovely. Also, because he just released his new memoir: A Billion Years: My Escape From a Life in the Highest Ranks of Scientology. It\\u2019s a batshit crazy and exclusive, first-hand look into the inner workings of Scientology and the harm this organization does to its brainwashed members. And in today\'s episode, we specifically get into how Scientology could potentially come to an end (hint: it involves the IRS no longer putting up with the \\u201cchurch\\u2019s\\u201d bullshit).\\xa0

So say a little prayer to Xenu and strap on in, cuz this one\\u2019s a wild ride!\\xa0
