Meet Diana, our Executive Director of Organization and the newest member of the team. And though she may not be a guest on our podcast every week, she definitely merits a full episode by way of introduction. Also, it's kinda fun when 3 extroverts with microphones vie for attention. So give it a listen...if you dare. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast. See...

Ever wonder what the female equivalent of a priesthood holder is? Oh wait - there is no equivalent. Whoops, our bad. Oh well, it's fun to talk about it anyway. At least we think so. And maybe with this hint you can take a shot at this week's FUMPOTD...or at least guess at it better than Mary did. And considering she failed miserably you have a really good shot. You're welcome! Music provided by Pu...

This could be our most effed up FUMPOTD yet. Brother Joseph, how do you propose Adam and Eve got to the midwest? We're still trying to figure this out. Meanwhile, the deacons are passing out bread and WATER at sacrament meetings? Water?? Really? That's just insulting. If H20 can be turned into wine, we plan to partake while listening to the latest episode of LDL. Enjoy! Music provided by Purple Pl...

Hey friends, did you swing by our SLC pride booth to say hi AND did we get a recording of you? Then take a listen to episode 29 - you might just hear yourself! We had such a blast visiting with so many of our current and future listeners! It was so great meeting all of you, and we'll see ya again next year!

Mary describes some more of her crazy evangelical past, Dallin H. Oaks gets a stern reprimand, and it's pride weekend in Salt Lake City, everybody. Time to celebrate! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

If we would just put on a little lipstick we'd be much more charming...or at least some people think so. Find out who in our brand new segment: He Said What??? Also...*spoiler alert* we briefly talk about the Game of Thrones finale (consider yourself warned). And who knew a discussion about Trek would be so darn entertaining. Shelly in a bonnet?? You definitely want to hear about this one. Enjoy! ...

Do you know the answer to today's FUMPOTD? If not, you're about to. Ew. And...you're welcome. In this episode we also ask for listener submissions to be included in an upcoming ex-Mormon expose. Plus we unpack reactions to Matt Easton coming out during his BYU valedictorian speech. Hope you enjoy. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast.

This week's FUMPOTD especially sucks if you're Philip, or some other 8-year old who can barely navigate the school bus. We also discuss the follow up to Martinsburg, WV, and the families affected by sexual abuse covered up by the Mormon church. Yep, that happened. Why, Mormons, why???  Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

Are you as sick of spiritual shaming as we are? Yeah?? We're fired up and wanna talk about it! We also share an excellent listener letter and a funny Philip story. So grab a sinful cup o' caffeine and lend an ear or two. Hope you enjoy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This is a really meaningful episode for us that features our very first guest, Sam Young. You'll hear all about his issues with the Mormon church, and the questions and objections that ultimately led to his excommunication. But Sam's story doesn't end there. His Protect Every Child initiative is changing hearts and lives, and we are excited to be part of it! Music provided by Purple Planet: https:...

Who was Lehi and what was his brass ball doing outside of his tent? Find out on this weeks FUMPOTD! That's a whole lot of fun, and so is roasting this week's troll: President Russell M. Nelson himself! So pull up a seat and enjoy whatever beverage that will make the prophet's garments bunch up in the biggest knot. It's a good one! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com . Hosted...

No, we're not peddling the Wilson sisters' latest rock ballad. It's this week's FUMPOTD. Check it out! Also, Shelly gets real about the "Exclusion Policy" and unexpected reversal. Get comfy, folks. It's a good one. Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey, look at that - we made it through 20 episodes! Wowsers! In this one we discuss seeing Book of Mormon (the musical) for the first time - hopefully the first of many times. Funny stuff! We also read a listener letter from a transgender fan, and pose the question, is it easier to come out as gay/lesbian or trans within the Mormon church? Hmm...something to think about. Hope you enjoy it. Music p...

In this episode, Shelly reveals a secret family recipe. Maybe don't try this one at home, kids. Also, we read a listener letter to a parent, and Shelly talks about one of her own. And will Mary guess the FUMPOTD or will she just sort of guess it? Either way, it's worth a listen - at least we think so. Enjoy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://purple-planet.com .

Endure to the End, Quietly Obey, Modest is Hottest. All of these were contenders for our Effed Up Mormon Phrase of the Day. Which one made the cut? Listen and find out! In this episode we roast a troll, discuss double earring commentary by douchey elders, and realize that no matter how tough life gets, we could always be a leper, so maybe things aren't so bad after all. Enjoy! Music provided by Pu...

Where the heck is Kolob? We're still not sure, but we definitely talk about it ad nauseam in this episode. Put on your spacesuits and get ready to blast off to wherever God is... Or maybe just have a blast spending 45 minutes with Mary and Shelly. Enjoy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 16, Shelly and Mary discuss family connections (or lack thereof), coincidence stories, another ridiculous tale about tithing, Temple Square panhandlers, and our fun new segment: The Effed-Up Mormon Phrase of the Day. Enjoy! Music provided by Purple Planet: https://www.purple-planet.com . Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode Shelly reads from the "For the Strength of Youth" manual...the same pamphlet her Bishop cited as "scripture," which he used to justify taking away her temple recommend. Wait a minute -- is this stuff completely fake? We also started a new segment called "The Mormon Phrase of the Day." Aw man, how do you pick just one??? Thanks for listening, hope you enjoy! Music provided by: https...

Sister missionaries, it's time to step into some trousers (one leg at a time). And Shelly gets all up in her feels about her divorce. Also, we read an amazing listener email about "reparative" or conversion therapy. What???? No thanks, Mormons. We're all good on that front. Music provided by: https://www.purple-planet.com .
