In this weeks installment, Charlie and Shelby discuss the founding of the 12 Tribes and their continued existence through the Yellow Deli and other businesses they operate. The group was founded by devout follower of religion, Elbert Eugene Spriggs Jr. There has been much controversy surrounding the cult, or religious group, including child abuse, spousal abuse, theft, and other things. Join us as we take a dive into the 12 Tribes, and it's founder Elbert "Yoneq" Spriggs Jr.
