Great And Spacious Podcast

Send us Fan Mail The final CES Letter episode begins with Utah’s apparently prayer-induced rain, tornado warnings, fire-nados, and the Anti-Intellectini: raspberry lemonade vodka, cranberry-apple-raspberry juice, and lemon, served with a rim of crushed Smarties—because intellectuals must be pulverized before they become dangerous. Abigail eats the leftover Smarties dust directly from the bowl befo...

Send us Fan Mail The CES Letter has finally reached the magnificently specific category of “Other,” so naturally aaaAAAaaa commemorates the occasion with the Seed of Cain , a drink conceived as two ounces of black rum, half an ounce of lime juice, and Pitch Black Mountain Dew. Unfortunately, the gas station declined to participate in the bit, forcing a substitution of electric-blue Voltage and tra...

Send us Fan Mail The hosts celebrate Pie and Beer Day with pizza pie, tiny strawberry-rhubarb pies, actual beer, a root beer float, and green tea for anyone whose digestive tract has already filed a formal grievance. The festivities immediately dissolve into Utah’s apocalyptic summer weather, Hercules-era Thebes comparisons, sundial penis cosplay, the creative scholarship of r/cospenis, and an ext...

Send us Fan Mail With fellow desert people Abby and Sam joining the table, Abish blinds everyone with the Science of the Lambs , a radioactive-green experiment combining Midori, blue curaçao, vodka, and some suspiciously persistent flat Sprite. A skewer of rainbow gummy frogs provides the educational garnish because dissecting amphibians is science, and because gummy fetal pig hearts remain tragic...

Send us Fan Mail The episode opens with fetus-based parasitism, the dangers of keeping a child who returns from Cairo possessed by an evil mummy, and a brief pregnancy scare that ends with the baby being completely fine, folded into an anatomically disrespectful pretzel, and suddenly kicking nonstop. The group also detours through toddler hyperfixations, the ancient discovery that chickens are mad...

Send us Fan Mail The episode opens with the crew diving back into the second half of the CES Letter’s witnesses section, which means James Strang is back in the building wearing his tiny prophet tiara and demanding we respect his suspiciously better production design. Before the actual Strangery begins, aaaAAAaaa introduces the cocktail: the Raspberry Recanter, made with champagne, Château Monet r...

Send us Fan Mail This week opens with Moroni en route from Arkansas, the hosts detouring through the linguistic crime scene of Mantua/“Man Away,” and Abish unveiling the episode cocktail: the “Spiritual Eyes-d Tea”, a peachy Long Island–adjacent blackout-adjacent beverage made with peach iced tea, peach rum, white rum, tequila, peach sparkling water, lemon “eyes,” and a cinnamon-stick “rod” in hon...

Send us Fan Mail For the 150th episode, the gang celebrates their sesquicentennial, a word they unfortunately only know because Mormonism made everyone say it in a pioneer bonnet at some point. Claudia, Kish Kuhman, Moroni, Abish, and Abigail all rotate through the chaos chamber, with Kish Kuhman appearing like a surprise dad cryptid in Discord. The drink of the week is the High Priesthood, a blue...

Send us Fan Mail The episode opens with the HeartSell, named after Bonneville Communications’ deeply cursed phrase for “strategic emotional advertising that stimulates response,” which is apparently what happens when Jesus hires Don Draper and gives him access to ward directories. The drink itself is a pink, spiritually manipulative little number made with Five Wives raspberry lemonade vodka, elde...

Send us Fan Mail Abigail opens the episode by officially declaring everyone “babies,” because pregnancy has apparently turned the podcast into a haunted nursery with better swearing. The drink this week is the Kinderhook, Line, and Sinke r , inspired by an Instagram reel and made to look like a tiny aquarium: orange peel cut into fish shapes, rosemary as aquatic garnish drama, Nerds as fish gravel...

Send us Fan Mail The episode opens with the crew already several sips into the "False Doctrini", a “martini” only in the sense that Mormon doctrine is “unchanging”: technically presented with confidence, spiritually fraudulent, and dressed up in the right glassware. Abigail explains that the drink is raspberry lemonade mixed with Five Wives pink raspberry lemonade vodka, shaken up as a f...

Send us Fan Mail To celebrate Joseph Smith’s sacred calling to spiritually wife other men’s wives, aaaAAAaaa serves up the Orson Hide and Seek, named for Apostle Orson Hyde, who was conveniently away dedicating Palestine while Joseph secretly married his wife, Marinda. The drink combines Utah-made Stinger hard apple cider with a hidden shot dropped into the glass, because nothing says “restored go...

Send us Fan Mail The gang welcomes Moroni back, in the flesh, for another papyrus-themed adventure with the “POG-pyrus”, a frozen tropical concoction made from guava nectar, passion fruit rum, vodka, sweetened condensed milk, and POG soda, churned through Abigail and aaaAAAaaa’s Costco Ninja Slushi machine. The drink is visually promised to be a creamy, swirly Egyptian artifact of delight, althoug...

Send us Fan Mail This week’s cocktail, Two Personages, One Cup, somehow manages to be both doctrinally relevant and spiritually prosecutable. aaaAAAaaa introduces the drink for an episode covering the Book of Mormon translation and First Vision sections of the CES Letter, combining chocolate Crown Royal and blackberry Crown Royal with a symbolic seer stone dropped into the glass, because nothing s...

Send us Fan Mail The crew returns from hiatus for season four with a surprise Moroni appearance, several deeply necessary pizza-related clues, and the announcement that this season will tackle the CES Letter instead of another book of scripture, because frankly, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price have already been dragged around the block wearing tap shoes. This w...

Send us Fan Mail This week Moroni is back in town and we discuss the recent Netflix docuseries "Trust Me: The False Prophet". All about bad bitch Christine Marie who goes undercover to document the beginning and rise of an FLDS spin off. But, first we talk about what we did over our break.

Send us Fan Mail Abish kicks off the final Pearl of Great Price episode with a beverage that feels appropriately Utah-coded: the Still Small Spritzer. The recipe is delightfully chaotic and deeply on-brand. Step one is living within DoorDash range of Swig so you can order a sugary soda concoction (sparkling water with fruit syrups) and have it delivered like the Spirit itself descending from on hi...

Send us Fan Mail aaaAAAaaa opens with peak chaotic-table energy: ASMR jokes, factory-noise soundscape pitching, and the general vibe of “we are spiritually unwell but comedically hydrated.” The episode’s drink is the Gin Anthonic, a gin-and-tonic riff that swaps tonic for champagne (Saturday-morning lawlessness), plus muddled peach and whatever sweetener is on hand, built to match the Anthon-manus...

Send us Fan Mail Moroni rolled in with “Brightness Above the Sun”, a bubbly pink-lemonade situation spiked with “a shot and a half” (measured emotionally, not metrically), topped with Sprite, and generally engineered to be impossible to mess up unless you actively hate joy. The vibe was: Olympics chatter, political despair snacks (State of the Union avoidance, assorted internet clips), and then a...

Send us Fan Mail Abish and Abigail roll in already half-dead from a same-day work raid on Rexburg (Potato BYU), plus the usual modern plagues: a Tesla pothole incident that turns into “surprise, you’re buying four tires,” a Unisom gamble, and a toddler on a sacred quest for the One Blanket That Was In The Car The Whole Time. Drink-wise, Abish delivers the Highly Flavored. It’s Trader Joe’s seasona...

Send us Fan Mail The hosts kick off this episode with their signature chaotic energy, mixing up a Bailey's-heavy cocktail called "Facsimile No Printer" (and a cereal-infused chocolate milk mocktail for their pregnant co-host) before diving into an extensive pop culture roundup. From gushing over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show and Lady Gaga's timeless talent, to mourn...

Send us Fan Mail Moroni kicked things off with a warm, spicy beverage that matched the theological temperature of the episode: the Naked and Not Ashamed. This hot cocktail combined spiced rum, Porter’s fire whiskey (of course), and dusty apple cider, garnished with cinnamon and a side of celestial sass. It was named for the Adam-and-Eve-just-vibing moment at the end of Abraham 5—before things went...

Send us Fan Mail Abish kicks things off with a cocktail that has absolutely nothing to do with the episode and everything to do with vibes: the "Pickligamy". Equal parts vodka, pickle juice, and lemonade, garnished with a pickle spear, it exists purely because the word sounded funny and honestly? That’s enough. The drink inspires immediate polarization—pickle lovers rejoice, pickle skept...

Send us Fan Mail aaaAAAaaa opens the episode in classic Great & Spacious chaos, immediately acknowledging that Joseph Smith’s Abrahamic space fanfic has once again forced a cocktail concept into existence. This week’s drink, "Gnolaum Kokaubeam", is a coffee cocktail named after the aggressively fake cosmic vocabulary Joseph introduces in Abraham 3—specifically the “eternal” and “star...

Send us Fan Mail Moroni opens the episode with a mercifully refreshing cocktail, the Cranberry Vodka Spritz-Ur, a deliciously refreshing drink named for the land of Ur and the general need for something light before wading into Abrahamic theology. Built around vodka, cranberry juice, citrus, and a fizzy topper, the drink does what it needs to do: keeps spirits up while the conversation immediately...
