Prepare to have your curiosity piqued as we, along with Mitch, journey into the eccentric world of the Scientology E-meter in this episode. We delve into its fascinating history and shed light on the intriguing individuals entwined in its creation, including the inventor, Volney Matheson, and discuss the essential E-meter training film EM2. Plus, we delve into the parallels and differences between the E-meter and a lie detector, examining how the device gauges electrical resistance.

In this episode, we also navigate the process of Scientology counseling using the E-meter, underlining the intriguing concept of the 'floating needle.' From the initial questioning to the final sign of success, we provide a comprehensive breakdown of the process. We also highlight potential problems that can emerge, such as a 'rock slam' resulting from a faulty E-meter, and the potential repercussions, which could include being dispatched to the Rehabilitation Project Force (RPF).

Finally, we step into the realm of Scientology’s film production and take a sneak peek at the drama within its talent department. We hear stories about notable actors like Jenna Elfman and her transition from the silver screen to the small one. We also draw comparisons between the audio-visual systems used in Scientology and the Mormon Church.
