Live w/ Sterling & Mike | Scientology's Secret Base For Kids

[@reneepolin6549]

The Sea Org is like "Stolen Valor" Shameful

[@tedlewis392]

Man, I LOVE that you call that scumbag Captain Keebler! CLASSIC!!!

[@janicehaldeman234]

I'm glad the 3 of you can sit and laugh together. Has to be therapeutic.

[@Southerncomfort420]

Oh my Aaron, thanks for the eye candy.. 😂 3 easy on the eyes men with hearts of gold.❤❤❤

[@lonedinosaur13]

Sterling provides the best comedic relief

[@CoffeeFlavoredLady]

As a military brat, LRH's public active duty record shows a guy who entered the military as a lieutenant and left the Navy as a lieutenant "DURING" WWII, where extremely fast promotions were common. He had essentially a 3 strikes career that ended with him having pink eye and the Clap. Absolutely nothing to brag about.

[@caldy206]

Absolutely true. He didn't command anything. That was just something he made up along with sinking a Japanese submarine. The stories that man made up. He definitely didn't live in the "real" world.

[@Caitlynwinchester7]

Yikes that’s scary!

[@Caitlynwinchester7]

12:59 qqq

[@CoffeeFlavoredLady]

​@Caitlynwinchester7 Not sure what your question is. Can you elaborate?

[@CoffeeFlavoredLady]

​@@manuellubian5709 LRH'S military career was DONE prior to getting the clap. That was just the military's way to wash their hands of him. The important part was failing in multiple leadership command opportunities.

[@susansimon5105]

I laughed so hard that I cried! Such a great video! I was talking to my brother yesterday about Scientology. He asked me if I joined because I know so much!!!

[@Darthlauralou]

Clap if you get asked if you’re in Scientology because you read/watch/listen to so much about it 😂 👏🏼

[@doubledigit2002]

👏

[@RealSweetnessandLight]

👏👏👏🤟

[@moniquedelaney7958]

4:10:12 You are right . He is very very small . I found him under my fridge while retrieving my grandson’s marble .

[@merrydaye4763]

Mix dark humor and men bonding, it goes next level.

[@Agent_L84]

I was going through downtown Clearwater to head to the beaches and saw a large number of people in black slacks and blue/black vests unloading off a bus. My first thought was, "Damn, that's a lot of caterers." 🤭Had no clue I was looking at SeaOrg members.

[@blip-2024]

The bed wetting story crushed my soul.

[@dancing_fig]

This was a great conversation. Mike, I totally respect you not being able to talk too much about when your ex was forced to have 2 abortions - it's a situation that can feel like it rips your heart out of your chest. (Regardless of politics, since I think everyone feels an extra bit of rage towards scientology about this. After all, the 'choice' in pro-choice isn't meant to be a choice for the pregnant person's employer.) But in case you or anyone else *does* end up wanting to talk about this stuff, I wanted to mention 2 non-political organizations that exist to help. One is a textline called Exhale, and the other is a talkline called All-Options. I've volunteered with both groups, and can vouch for the fact that I've talked with a # of people who feel a need to talk about experiences that they had years or decades ago. And a lot of those folks were guys wanting to talk about abortions that their partners/wives/exes had.

[@RealSweetnessandLight]

I have a neighbor who grew up in the Cadet Org, I think at Happy Valley. She HATES Scientology with a passion! Her childhood and young life were very abusive...

[@TampaAgurl]

this is heartbreaking hearing about the ranch and the abuse of children then and now. Your truths are mind blowing.

[@randipearson4930]

Hi 👋 Sterling you little cutey patooty !! ❤👍🥰so glad to also have Mike Brown now ! He’s so well spoken and such a true hero to our country and his mom !!

[@sandralybrand9425]

You Have to do it again! Sterling is a hoot😂😂 I love how red Arron blushed and even Mike's face turned a little red when talking about the cardboard bedroom 😂😂❤❤

[@sarahlanzing5394]

The biggest thing re: pro-choice is that the sea org members aren’t really given a choice. As abusive as forced gestation is, so is forced abortion.

[@dianaelizondo2124]

This was like listening to my older male cousins crack up and picking on each other while discussing their memories. I loved listening in and laughing with you three.

[@leahannewoods6170]

3 of the badass SP men!!! I love it!😃🙌❤️🔥🌬️

[@rosemariemosareetropf3323]

this was an amazing interview. so fun. so alive!!! enlivening 😀

[@jandeac933]

TMI incident was worth the laughter. You 3 deserve all the hilarity and happiness!

[@karenleemallonee684]

A-Aron, incredible video, I'm bummed I didn't see it "Live"! Sterling is such a good sport, I applaud him!!! I'm trying to play catch up on missed videos from Saturday, Sunday & Monday. I'm glad I watched this one!!! 👍👍

[@davidgordon9421]

From a non Sc I thoroughly enjoyed the cast it was eye opening and very funny as well great job guys, all the best from Australia 🇦🇺

[@joan-en8uy]

This was a great trio, somewhat reminiscent of “the three amigos”. Mike Brown reminded me a little of Mike Rinder & Sterling reminded me of Marc.

[@hiya1399]

1:48:32 The Elevator Incident aka the most jarring story ever

[@hanyandme]

Very much enjoyed that despite some of the content obviously being difficult. The 3 of you have a tonne of charisma, you are great together.

[@wiedzma_nie_niewiasta]

Best thing that happend since the three amigos ❤

[@Mountain_winds]

Watching as the replay crew. The 3 of you were fantastic together ❤

[@musestudio7075]

The baby doll looks more like Elf on a Shelf. Which is so perfect. Both Dave & Tom are vertically challenged. And they're still not over it.

[@tThisNThat]

The fact that the IRS, for all intents and purposes, allowed themselves to be blackmailed for exemption, and the Gov. allows this abusive org to exist. MAKES ME SICK. Keep talking, keep doing what you are doing. It is righteous!

[@OpticalReward]

I went to the Mace Kingsley Ranch twice. Best experience of my life. I wont downplay abuses or trauma that some may have experienced but for me, the guy who ran it set my life straight. Yes there are tons of stories, some legend, some embellished, some BS but it was definitely a ranch run for the unruly kids of Scientologists. Later on Scientology upper orgs like ASHO, etc. sent people who were "Type 3" there. Those were segregated from the kids but I learned about a bunch of this as I remained friends with Wally for the rest of his life. I'll never forget one thing he told me years after the ranch ... as an OT 8, Class 6, he confided that he was "still a crazy Marine" ... It really got me thinking that Scientology just can't fix everyone. And now after I left Scientology for good, I realize Scientology really cant fix shit.

[@BirdieBabe83]

This chat was amazing! The three of you together really meshed well and I had a great time hanging out watching yall chat. Thanks for such amazing and consistent content!

[@jaeyost3830]

All of SPTV owe Aaron a big debt of gratitude for the years he put in and has shared w/all of you. Your subs are going up because Aaron promotes you. I love and subscribe to all but i've been watching Aaron for years. He's the OGSP!

[@Panda_Kelli]

That was amazing. Need a second installment of this comedy show soon.

[@bethotoole6569]

No joke... when Aaron cracks himself up like that !! Well ...I'm still laughing, it's infectious! 👍👍😎

[@jaeyost3830]

You three put on an excellent vid! Laughing and crying in the same video is rare. Loved it!

[@TheFionaS]

Actual tears for Mike now

[@alijohnson5631]

I’m pretty sure that the home improvement videos you watched were call “Home Time.” It’s from the PBS station in Minneapolis. I grew up watching Steve and Peggy, along with shows like “This Old House.”

[@michelevv9719]

The three of you together were having entirely too much fun...lol Great video!

[@valeriej291]

I listened to this whole video while…..doing carpentry work in my basement. 😆 Good listen. More please.

[@she6778]

Fahrenheit 451 is another good book about control

[@nickinoonah]

Wish I could give this video more than 1 like....such a great chat to listen to, 2 and a half hours flew by, the new 3 amigos!

[@billwhitmore8638]

I feel for starling he seems still to this day he needs to be heard if you watch him he has to jump in thats from being put on the shelf in his younger years.

[@LoveforAaronBushnell]

Great conversation. More please!! I laughed my ass off. Cried too. I appreciate you being so amazing. Thank you so much.

[@rturney6376]

You do realize separating anyone who has a negative thought also happens at the Naval Academy

[@kelleycosgrove9720]

Hahaha hilarious when you guys kid around LOVE it and it’s just heartwarming to see people who have been through such horrendous trauma having such a great time and being SO funny! ( I am not even done with the video yet. I had to stop and leave a comment after a sterling adjusted his microphone again L O LL O L)

[@avajoyporter9064]

Thanks!

[@gamerjaqi7873]

You guys are so funny 😂. I’m in your age range as well, when you are just giving each other crap you remind me of my male friends back when we were younger.❤

[@Chris-at-Heart]

Sexual abuse is about power not sex.

[@cmoon1563]

I worked at Soboba casino the one your talking about. The old one on that road it was a bingo hall and some machines. The road was very scary at nite when I went home.

[@cdd4248]

GREAT discussion with smart, thoughtful and committed people.

[@MissSunriseDawn]

Man, I hate that I missed the live!

[@Green-Fairy]

The 3 of you are awesome, please do more lives together. You’re all so funny . ❤ to you all😅😊

[@joywilliams7657]

Fantastic discussion, I literally was either lmao or nearly crying, you guys are amazing and it goes to show my assertion that Scientologists are totally ready for anything outside of the church. Come on out the water is fine and you CAN totally handle anything that comes your way ❤

[@TampaAgurl]

haha jarring Sterling! you three are a great live truthful and laughter through this child slave torture called a religion

[@avajoyporter9064]

Totally enjoyed this podcast. I laughed and I cried. I watched the entire show. I totally understand what it's like and I'm so grateful to hear their stories. So glad you guys are out. Thanks for sharing your stories and it's good to know I am not alone. These Cults steal everything you are inside, and it takes some of us years to recover if at all. It's a slow process for me but you make it so much easier to deal with it. Thank you for all you do.

[@hopelivingood1529]

Another trio I love ❤❤❤

[@jessgunn6639]

l ron hubbard was just pissed off because gene rodenberry was a decorated war hero, and it just ate into his insecurity and inflamed his paranoia!

[@lisahavey8981]

Only a suggestion, but the 3 of you need to do this on a weekly basis!!!❤️

[@kelleycosgrove9720]

Yes yes please!

[@WillowTree885]

Fantastic conversation!

[@merp9211]

I remember Nathan Rich talking about the Mase - Kingsley Ranch for “troubled kids” in his interviews with Aaron.

[@RealSweetnessandLight]

That is a totally different location.

[@merp9211]

@@RealSweetnessandLight The name rang a bell. I’m not surprised that there are multiple ranches.

[@Mel_A.]

Hey Aaron! I’m new to this whole thing. There is so much to take in it’s unbelievable! Thank all of you for being so informative and open about your experiences. Shining light on this atrocious behavior is the best way to deter other from getting sucked in to this horrible organization. Also, an organization that can’t evolve will eventually die out. (At least I hope so)

[@cindytemps9049]

Nice to see the three caballeros laughing and having so much fun. With what you all lived through in the SO and the Ranch, you could be crying instead.

[@Yannispawn]

Where the home improvement videos Joanne and Dean? Later became Robyn and Dean. Was a TV show. I loved that show!

[@rturney6376]

I grew up in a Navy family. Your experience is very similar.

[@Kati-did]

I am going to put this on all three channels. Y'all had me rolling. It is good to talk about the heavy topics, shining the light on the bad but it is fun to have a little teasing around too. I am down for everyone of these y'all do!

[@mariaverroye9510]

Mike Brown…….We all have your back. ❤❤❤

[@lisacolledge7624]

Watching the replay. Aaron, community service....continue to wear the black t-shirts. 😁

[@rturney6376]

C org kids are like from the 60’s - rough and tumble - but younger. ❤❤❤😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@needfoolthings]

What's with Scientology and ranches? Ranches are places where you milk cattle.

[@TheNinnyfee]

Off-topic: I love that Stirling has a British flag halo. 😄❤️

[@ChocolateRaisins]

You guys are a hoot together.

[@veeeds]

I would totally buy that mini-doll of Davey

[@Peacelily1083]

Great show as usual this morning. I sincerely wish you all well.

[@luminyam6145]

This is just horrifying.

[@wakedawncat9290]

Luv u guys!🩵 Loved the show! We need more shows with u 3 handsome & funny Amigos!💙

[@Chris-at-Heart]

And POWER is alllllllll about power.

[@amyph]

That’s the cultiest picture ever. Those kids could be making the whole Heil L Ron Howard salute

[@loriwatters8661]

So compelling, thank you all for being so vulnerable and telling your stories really love you guys

[@DaleDickins]

One thing I appreciate from (all of) your training is the attention to the tiniest details that make the picture you're all painting with words that much clearer. True storytelling, listening to your discussions has me feel like I'm sitting at an indigenous circle learning the ways of the world. For me, what I hear being shared on SPtv, these behaviourisms are common in many corporations which I see as borderline cultish... rich listening material for humans to hear and identify those smudgy grey areas we might be crossing into questionable lines of integrity into the dark side.

[@Janet-FromanotherPlanet]

You guys are having too much fun🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@julianyc422]

2:10:40 Same for America, make it insanely healthy to raise children and raise a happy family that can thrive. Well said, AAaron

[@tamberjune]

This was a great video and conversation. Like y'all said just keep sharing your stories.

[@notinadequate2119]

Here’s what I want to know: what kind of regrets do your parents have about raising you like this, and have they apologized for this chaotic upbringing, or do you just not talk about it, or what?

[@lindseyz.6200]

Watching from Hemet, CA 👋🏼 I had no idea the ranch was there and my family has been on the valley for 60 years!!! That reservation is no joke!

[@blip-2024]

Mike's genuine emotion when discussing his first wife's forced abortions breaks my heart. I think it must be even harder now that he has children. How could someone not wonder what might have been. I am not going to debate if abortions are right or wrong. I am going to state FORCED abortions are horrific and wrong!

[@DogObsessed430]

The Davey doll should come with a set of 7 pins to stick in him - one for every day of the week. I’m actually quite a gentle person and I don’t know him but I have an intense dislike for him and what Scientology did to Mikes mum and others.

[@jordanas3750]

Fyi paddling is now legal form of school punishment in multiple states and most do not give parents the right to say no.

[@WonderWoman430]

AARON - Missed the first part of this informative Live so I went back and watched what I missed. SO GLAD YOU RECEIVED YOUR PACKAGE 🎉

[@naomihales5430]

Had to go back through just to use the chapter breaks! 😂😂😂😂

[@julianyc422]

Mike Brown is the Best one liners, amongst a great team.

[@reneepolin6549]

What about Reese she was 14 sleeping with a 27 yrs old and everyone knew it ,she may not have been at the ranch but she will tell you it was the norm . Sterling is clueless

[@mausjennings]

Awesome video

[@eve-marieouellette]

That was such a great video! You guys are so entertainning together. Such a great team. You should do this again, as soon as possible ☺️

[@s-e-i138]

Fantastic chat!!! Please make this a regular line up ❤😊

[@kingax4369]

why not supply memebers with contraception, condoms? I t could be solved so easily

[@MsDayPlanner]

😅 What a fun group. Entertained all the way to the end.

[@HerbaceousSW]

You are so funny together!

[@lizzieb19450]

This might have been the best live video I have ever watched I have cried with y’all been so shocked and disgusted at y’all’s treatment as children and laughed with y’all so much that snot was coming out of my nose! This was so informative and y’all together are so real and make the trauma and then all of ur success stories that much more special!!!!

[@tinycha0s]

PREEEEEAAACCCCCHHHHHHHH YES GUYS

[@TheNinnyfee]

People that are smaller are blessed...Where exactly, Dave? 😂😂😂
