girls in Rhea Rhea and skirts but they
[TS]
01:11:21

were a cult within that where the
[TS]
01:11:23
◼

members of the band were actually in the
[TS]
01:11:25
◼

cult themselves and it was hard to tell

[TS]
01:11:33
◼

guy and probably like just a regular
[TS]
01:11:36
◼

indie rock guy but because he was in rem
[TS]
01:11:41
