Ep. 106: Love Has Won: Cult Madness
Never join a cult designed for 144,000 people. In this one, Ian and Liv talk about a shockingly recent cult, where the leader was not only a crazy white lady, but also an alcoholic, conspiracy theorist, and an abusive thief. Her followers were tricked into giving everything they owned,and it was all for the false promise of taking up residency in the 5th Dimension with Robin Williams, Jesus Christ, Whitney Houston, Buddha, and Trump. Clearly, this is all very legitimate. Also, Liv endorses pickle ball. Ian aspires to be a Babylonian whore. Dakota thinks this is all bullshit.

Ep. 105: Action Park: Waterslides, Whiplash & Mortality
Waterparks are the result of humanity's hubris of science.In this one, Ian and Liv revisit one of their favorite episodes for Disaster Hour's 3rd Birthday: Action Park! Throughout the 1980s, Action Park was an outdoor waterpark with waterslides that were straight out of a Stephen King novel. They were dangerous, exhilarating, and built with zero professional architects or rollercoaster engineers. Guests were injured, the park faced lawsuits, and the owner continued dodging the law for decades. Welcome to Action Park! Also, Justinepremieres as a new guest. Liv doesn't know how to use a calculator. Libby has imaginary friends. Dylan continues winning at life. Bob jumped off a cliff once. Ian confuses Tony Hawk and Stephen Hawking.
