Ep 26: The False Prophet Samuel Bateman (Pt. 2) & Spilling the Pol-Tea-Geist!

The traps are set, the cameras are rolling, and the mouse is about to snap. Welcome back to Part 2 of our massive deep-dive into the wild world of Netflix’s Trust Me: The False Prophet.Last week, we set the stage with the origins of FLDS splinter cult leader Samuel Bateman and the accidental undercover sting operation cooked up by Christine Marie and Tolga Katas. This week, it’s time for the grand finale. We are breaking down exactly how Bateman’s massive ego completely blinded him to the fact that his "Hollywood documentary crew" was actually building an airtight federal case right under his nose. We go over the chaotic raids, the dramatic FBI takedown, and the incredible bravery of the survivors who broke free from Short Creek.But stick around after the cult collapse, because we are pulling up a chair and brewing a fresh pot for a highly classified Pol-tea-geist session. We have been sitting on a massive, secret for weeks, and it is finally time to spill the tea with the class. Grab a drink, brace yourselves, and let's close the book on a false prophet!Share your stories with us so we can read them during Listener Week!  @[email protected] - The_Cold_Spot_Confessions https://www.instagram.com/the_cold_spot_confessions?utm_source=qr&igsh=aTBsejd2b3k2YnpvTiktok - The Cols Spot Confessions Podcasthttps://www.tiktok.com/@the.cold.spot.con.pod?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc Facebook - The Cold Spot Confessions Podcast https://www.facebook.com/share/1KjTVh7t51/
