Latter-Day Takes

In this episode I talk about two things that go together like peanut butter and jelly...sorta. I can't help myself and feel the need to give my take on the overturning of Roe v. Wade as well as asking today's guest, Dan Ostler his thoughts on it. Then we get into his experience going to Turkey to get a hair transplant. And it's wildly entertaining. Dan is as interesting as they come and really eas...

On today's episode I have the privilege of conversing with TikTok star, @durbinmalonster - who went especially viral for the wrong reasons...in a way. We get into the details of all that along with how she processed all the mudslinging that got thrown her way. We talk a little bit of the beginnings of her TikTok story and how she got to be super well-known on one of the most popular social media a...

On today's episode in honor of me going to hike Mt. Whitney this Friday, I come out the gate recollecting a story of when I got lost on a mountain and Search and Rescue had to come find me. This was right after I graduated high school...And then I get into some theories on Captain Moroni and his anger, and his blueprint for war. When he decides to fight back, etc. and how we can maybe apply that t...

In this episode I bring on the winner of ABC’s Listen to Your Heart, Bri Stauss. She graces us with her presence and shares about her experience on the show and what it was like to be on camera vs. off camera, support from her family, meeting and interacting with Chris Harrison as well as dating in California vs. Utah, her music career and much more. I close it out with a couple gospel insights I...

In this episode I bring on Clark "Slider" Haymond to talk about his experience as a fighter pilot (which includes dropping actual bombs in foreign countries) as well as his take on Top Gun: Maverick (spoiler: he loved it). Clark brings the heat and makes this one of the more interesting and fun podcasts I've done in a while. And then John Stevens comes on to give a review of Top Gun: Maverick as w...

On today's episode I bring on a friend, Riley Brown, to discuss what it was like for him jumping out of a plane and having his primary parachute fail and having to free fall once again before the backup chute opened up. In case you've ever wondered, it's a wild ride. I give some news of the week and then close it out with some thoughts about a talk I'll be giving in church this week. Enjoy!

In this episode I give the latest news of the week and some of my thoughts therein. And then I bring back Sean Bingham to discuss his own podcast and get his thoughts on the NBA playoffs currently, his journey as an entrepreneur and how it went from a sunglasses company with his brother all the way to one of the best segments on Shark Tank that some of the producers had ever seen and to currently...

In this episode I try out a new format where I go over some relevant news from the week: Elon Musk buys twitter, Zach Wilson is who we thought he was and Under the Banner of Heaven is coming out on FX/Hulu - should be interesting. And then I bring on an old roommate who helped me create the video that got me on MTVs Ridiculousness. We go over the concoction of the video and how it got on Ridiculou...

Back at it again! On today's episode I bring on an old friend and BYU insider (he does much more than cover sports for BYU - but he's just really great at that) Jake Hatch. Jake recently broke some big BYU Basketball news that could make or break the program for the coming season. We get into what that may entail and it includes a wildly entertaining conversation about Nick Emery and his relations...

In this episode I get into the hot topic of why people are calling Young Men's General Presidency Second Counselor, Brad Wilcox racist. I take about 10 minutes to cover my own thoughts and then I bring in recurring guest Ari Worthen to help me go through it and discuss what the real issues are and whether or not Brother Wilcox is actually a racist...spoiler alert, we don't think he is. Enjoy!

On today's episode (last of the year!) Chase and I air our grievances in the Seinfeld spirit of Festivus. BYU football could not have set it up any better when it comes to the ways in which they've disappointed us considering their total letdown in the Independence Bowl against University of Alabama-Birmingham, on Chase's birthday no less. I wanted to thank everyone for listening this past year an...

On today's episode it's the pt. 2 of my conversation with Adam Ebberts. We get into what motivated him to do a podcast with one of his friends that talks about the gospel (Spiritual Arson) and the DezNat movement and how he goes about defending the church more among many other things along those lines. Enjoy!

Inspired by The Ringer's "The Rewatchables" I got with a couple friends, Ari Worthen and Chase Bartholomew to recap why Home Alone is one of the greatest movies of my childhood. After all, it is Christmas, so, let's sit back and enjoy talking/listening to one of my favorite childhood Christmas movies of all time. Enjoy!

On today's episode I'm joined by Adam Ebberts who is a part of the Spiritual Arson podcast who comes on to detail his drug past growing up as a kid in the church and how he came back to the church and the process and miracles that took place therein. Adam is a key member of the beginning stages of the DezNat movement. We get into how that all came about in pt. 2 which will come out next week. Enjo...

On today's episode I bring in a lawyer couple that gives a wonderful breakdown and provides insights and history pertaining to the legal complications of Roe v. Wade. We don't get very political in this episode, we just talk facts and give opinions and basically leave it at that. I had a great time getting to know more about the legal background and am even more interested as to what the outcome t...

In this special emergency pod edition, my resident Ute fan buddy, Casey Sato, comes on the pod to offer the Ute fan perspective in all the anger toward the college football playoff outcome, etc. It's a nice back and forth. Casey is always a good time. Casey offers some nice perspective to BYU fans, and it is appreciated by me. Enjoy!

In this episode Sean Bingham from Simply The Best Sports Take joins me again to discuss his thoughts on the college football playoff rankings and how they're so inconsistent. He gives a great breakdown of why it's still problematic and brings up great points along the way. Later, Chase joins back on so we can give our live reactions to BYU women's soccer losing the national championship game in a...

In this episode Chase and I get into Taysom Hill's first start for the Saints this season and speculate on what this could be, etc. We address the unfortunate upset down at UVU, but we still have a lot of hope for the basketball team and think there is plenty of upside. We get into the last NY6 update and speculate on chances. The breakdown is solid. It lays out where we need to put our expectatio...

On today's episode I read an old letter I sent to a friend that outlines what role I think bishop's play when it comes to confessing our sins. That's the meat of the episode. It's also supplemented with my top five dishes for Thanksgiving as well as a shout out of being reminded to be grateful. Enjoy!

In this episode Chase and I discuss the hit Netflix show “You” and why it seems like so many females are obsessed with serial killers. I admit, I’m fascinated by them as well. But it seems a little different from the female perspective. Chase and I dive into that as well as the power of positivity and if it’s real or not. That takes place before we sit around and talk about why BYU basketball and...

On today's pod we spend the entirety of the episode basically congratulating ourselves on being BYU fans and how amazing it is to be indulging in BYU sports these days. Granted, it's not like we're on the top of college athletics across the nation, but we're in a good place, and the potential looks even more promising. I'll go ahead and stop now and just let you listen. Enjoy!

In this random episode, I bring back some old high school friends that were there in my OG podcast days. We go over a series of hypothetical scenarios that Jake comes up with to help facilitate entertaining conversation (if we do say so ourselves). The Lamborghini hypothetical is one of a few involving swimming in a pool with a tiger shark, driving over 100 mph to a destination a few hours away, e...

On today's episode an old friend of mine, Preston Darger, joins me to talk about his view on loving others while not necessarily being an enabler. Something that I have a personally hard time with distinguishing. Preston is a great example on being a follower of Christ and loving everyone. I think the topic is interesting for everyone to hear when it comes to knowing when we should be defenders an...

On today's episode Chase and I get into why people love dressing up for Halloween so much and if it's weird or not. And then we mainly just go back and forth about BYU football. If that'd not for you, sorry! I'll mix it up later in the week, promise. Either way, enjoy!

Happy Halloween everyone! On today's episode I bring back recurring guest Shane Larson to share one of the creepiest stories I've ever heard involving a father and son in the desert in the middle of nowhere happening upon a super creepy dude, in a super creepy situation. Before we get to that story I go through five horror villains that I'd fight, and how I'd do against each of them. And then Shan...
