The full panel, live and uncut. Former FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott are sitting down with Tony for a complete breakdown of the Samuel Bateman case and Netflix's Trust Me: The False Prophet — from how he built the cult, to what it did to the people inside, to whether Short Creek will ever stop producing predators who call themselves prophets.

Robin spent two decades reading human behavior at the highest levels of federal law enforcement. Shavaun has spent thirty years treating trauma survivors and grew up inside religious extremism herself. Together, they bring something no documentary can — the expert lens on what you watched and the clinical understanding of what you felt.

We're covering everything. The behavioral playbook. The psychological wreckage. The impossible question of the wives who were victims and perpetrators at the same time. Faith Bistline raising her brothers' victims. The girl who told Bateman she never needed him. And the question the doc leaves hanging: is another Bateman coming?

We're taking your questions throughout. Come ready.
