In this episode of The Mighty Philbert, we break down the seven psychological tricks cults use to control their followers — and show how those same tactics showed up in real-life groups like Heaven’s Gate and NXIVM. From lonely crossroads to charismatic manipulators, we’ll explore how smart, ordinary people get pulled into dangerous belief systems — and how to spot the red flags before it’s too late.
This one’s for the seekers, the skeptics, and anyone who’s ever felt a little lost on life’s long haul.

We’re diving into the world of trucking serial killers — a chilling topic, but one that’s captivated both law enforcement and the public for decades. While the vast majority of truckers are honest, hardworking folks, a tiny few have used the open road as their own personal hunting ground. So buckle up, because we’re about to look at three cases where the cab wasn’t just for cargo — it was a mobile chamber of horrors.
