I asked on our Three Amigos livestream last Monday for a shoop of Mr. M with a Mickey Mouse ears hat. If you haven’t tuned in yet, Aaron Smith-Levin, Marc Headley and I do a live show on Monday’s at 7pm starting on Aaron’s “Growing Up in Scientology” YouTube channel and then moving over to Marc’s “Blown For Good” channel where we riff on whatever topic has our interest and also answer viewer questions they send in live. Unfortunately, we will not be doing one this Monday as we are celebrating Christie’s birthday, might do it on Tuesday… stay tuned for announ
Here are some of the results.
Enjoy!
Just to remind everyone where this Mr. Mickiewicz comes from — I posted this in the Thursday Funnies. Apparently this is what they call the COB in Ukraine…
Linda Olsen says
So he’s trashed his own name and is now working on trashing his great-great-grandfather’s name? SMH
Jere Lull says
Evidently, there’s no limit to his shameful behavior.Mickiewicz IS kinda-sorta similar to mustSavage’s birth name, similarly to Marty sorta sounding like Mark, a different organizational bigwig-lieutenant.
Gabriel Halliwell says
Any chance we could get a bobblehead of that monster wearing that hat?
I’m guessing there would not be a sufficient demand to make it possible. But it would be sure to come a historical relic in the years to come. Long after this crazy cult is dead and gone, people will ask, “Who is that funny looking little man in the stupid hat?”
I would love to have one. I’m certain it would provide me with hours of enjoyment – especially if it would turn in circles if I flick it with one of my fingers. Even more so if it would say something stupid when flicked.

Happy birthday to your beautifull wife, as they say in Greek – may she live to 100! Where do viewers submit questions for the podcast ?

In order to keep the Best seller book A BILLION YEARS in the public’s eye, I decided to choose key paragraphs and post them every so f often with the link for purchase.
This is the first one ::::
Excerpt : Mike Rinder’s best seller A BILLION YEARS.
Page 189
Miscavige arrived after we had been standing in the dark for about twenty minutes and informed us we were being “offloaded: from the Sea Org on a bus the next morning because we were hopelessly incompetent and “counter-intentioned cocksuckers” To outsiders this might sound like this would be a blessing, an end to the insanity.
But to a Sea Org member this was the ultimate humiliation, and it would also mean the end of our relationships with any Scientologists, including any family members. He was once again making clear that he com pletely controlled everyone’s fate and that with a snap of his fingers, your life, as you knew it could end.

PeaceMaker says
The Google tells me that is very close to what is probably DM’s original family name across the border in Poland, Myszkiewicz.
Normally I might object to making fun of a little person, but as he’s been so awful about making fun of, demeaning, assaulting and abusing others, it may fall into the same sort of category as old wartime cartoons lampooning various dictators at war with the world.
Jere Lull says
MustSavage is Polish!!?? Could explain some things.
NAAAW! i got Polish friends in Mensa — bright and capable, unlike Davey-Boy.
Peridot says
To @PeaceMaker – You are correct, by ethical standards in satire. In this instance, we are “punching up,” which is playing fair, such as lampooning a dictator. What is snide and commonly does not go over well in humor is “punching down,” such as making a mentally disabled or other person with no or limited power or agency the target of a joke.
A Data Series view may be to frame as “Correct Target” vs. “Wrong Target”. When you encounter good satire, it’s “Oh, yes, that person is ripe for, themselves, being picked on—finally.”
Or in (ironically) the Ethics Book, the tale of climbing up an 8-foot fence to—with cleverness, skill, and surprise—tackle the schoolyard bully.
TooDangerous says
Mike, would you please provide a link to your Three Amigos videos? Searched BGF and A-Aron’s YouTube but didn’t see a video with all three of you. Thank you!
Mike Rinder says
Click on the “live” button and you will find them.
Laura Font says
Happy Birthday to Christie!!!
I actually have questions for her. You should have her join the fun. Also, you should do call ins. My questions are multilayered, and hard to fit in a super chat.
Komodo Dragon says
Claire and Christie should do a video without the three boys some day soon.
Dotey OT says
We all know Davey has such a wonderful sense of humor that he’s laughing along with the rest of us. Lol.
Jere Lull says
The laugh’s on him — or maybe it went over his head, that’s so easy to do.

Re: comparing me to Mickey Mouse.
For your enturbulated information I am NOT laughing along with the rest of you! How dare you liken me to a silly children’s character! I am the ecclesiastical leader of a world religion as well as the most theta being in the MEST universe!
The Church of Scientology is not the Mickey Mouse Club, no matter what that SP Rinder may tell you!
So cease and desist immediately!
ML,
Dave.

Re: Scientology and the Mickey Mouse Club.
🎶 Who’s the leader of the cult that’s bad for you and me?
M-I-S-C-A-V-I-G-E 🎶
No love at all,
Alcoboy.
Dotey OT says
LOL!!! I love it! I will not be able to shake that song today, and gladly!
Lynne Pembroke says
Great pics! As I was enjoying them, I got a very exciting text! From Tiffany, whoever that is. Who wrote, “Hello! Could you take a 17-second survey? It helps Scientology with expansion. Thanks!” Then there’s a URL to click to take you to the survey. I have not heard from any org for years and years (except for the constant mail and mags), and then this from out of the blue. I guess they haven’t yet gotten the memo, and I’m still in good standing.

The Moose says
I think they have gotten the memo, but they are just so desperate and clueless that they think they have a shot at getting you back in.
Gabriel Halliwell says
I got an image of Rocky and Bullwinkle. Remember them? Bullwinkle was about four times taller than Rocky.
So, it’s clear that Dave the Monster would be Rocky. I just wonder who would make the best Bullwinkle.
Komodo Dragon says
And as an added bonus to the Rocky and Bullwinkle pairing, Rocky is a SQUIRREL. How very fitting.
Ruth says
I always forget to jump on Aaron’s first.
Birthdays, finally for all of you, and some of us, can be acknowledged and celebrated! That makes me very happy. 🙂
Omg, the best way to come out ok, is to have fun with what you have been given, and DM gave you a LOT to work with. Lol
L Ron Hubbard says
What a qute little guy! Is it David Miscage? Mee key mouse
vǝda says
Dave, you are my new Dream. ✨
(I’m f*cking dying with the first picture and the watch.)
Mike Rinder says
The watch is the perfect touch…
Gabriel Halliwell says
I don’t think it’s a watch. I know it looks like a watch. But I think it’s actually a 2-way walkie talkie device that enables him to spy on all the Sea Org members and give out orders to his RPF police goons to go and snatch some people and throw them into The Hole.
I know The Hole is no longer visible from ground level or from an over-flying plane or helicopter. But I would guess they just hid it underground somehow and now ….
“NO ONE GETS OUT ALIVE”
vǝda says
Mike, will you be my date to the Chicago opening?
otherles says
“How dare you make COB comply with your rules!”
Oh, I’m imitating a Sea Org member.
James LaPaz says
Thanks, I just spit out my coffee I was laughing so hard. Perhaps next time he should be in a tiny Shriner car, which is likely the perfect size for him.
