We're ranking assholes (part 5 of 5)
<p>After 5 seasons of fringey weirdos, cult catastrophes, UFO grifters, spiritualist scammers, and one royal who insists he “can’t sweat,” we've finally made it, it's Journey to the Fringe's top 10 assholes. The whos who os assholes some may say. Do you say it?</p><p>Using a five‑category “Asshole Score” (Deception, Vibes, Harm, Grift, Legacy), Taylor and Chelsie dive deep into the worst offenders they’ve ever covered — from Billy Meier’s model‑kit UFOs to the Good News International Church’s mass‑death tragedy, from the Fox Sisters’ double‑grift séance empire to the Warrens’ Hollywood‑fueled paranormal profiteering. The list escalates into full‑blown UFO disinformation warfare with Richard Doty, before crowning the ultimate king of cosmic grift: Dr. Steven Greer, the man who turned “contacting aliens” into a luxury retreat business.</p><p>Along the way, we debate scoring philosophy, roast each other’s rankings, compare their lists to Copilot’s cult‑heavy Top 10, look at the friends we made along the way and revisit some of the podcast’s most unhinged episodes. It’s chaotic, and cathartic—</p><p>So who’s your #1 asshole? Who did we miss?
