We're back and oh man do we have a story to tell you this week. 

The Natural Law party was founded in 1992 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the transcendental meditation (TM) movement. In part 1, it's all Mahesh all the way down as we talk about his history, his religious teachings, and the sexual assault that should have ended his career. 

Join us as we discuss such things as what band is the Beach Boys of our generation, at what point can you legally call a group a cult, and how many elbows should one throw if someone doesn't give room on the sidewalk in our covid-filled world?

All this and more as Gadfly returns!
