Episodes

049—Temple Recommend Questions: Yes or No 23.03.2026

In this episode, we revisit the LDS temple recommend questions to find out if we really need them and if so do we really follow them if we answer yes to them and if so do we really need to talk about it. The answer to one of those questions is "Yes." But you have to listen to find out which one.

0048—Prideful Talent Shows 16.12.2025

In this episode, we beg our listeners to leave positive reviews. Just kidding. (But seriously!) Then Aaron talks about his prideful youth when he lost a talent show and pouted about it. To this day, he's still angry about it. Pride is a helluva drug.

047—Capitalism in the Church 07.12.2025

In this episode, we get the ick from the businesses that try to make money selling crap that was born from things spiritual. Liz talks about something, who knows what she says. And Aaron and Patrick just laugh at the silliness of members who buy mugs with "Think Celestial" on them.

41—Do you even Curse bro? 02.10.2024

In this episode, the brothers welcome back Liz and Garrett Batty to discuss what Aaron calls "curses" in the Book of Mormon. The question we answer is: Would a perfectly loving god actually curse His children because of disobedience? Maybe. Listen to hear us argue about it.

40 — Let's talk about "Integrrty" 11.09.2024

In this episode, Aaron and Patrick recount their experiences of going on long hot family road trips while Patrick's feminist wife was blessed to fly wherever her family needed to go. Then we compare that to the first and arguably the worst road trip in the Book of Mormon—Lehi taking his family out of Jerusalem.

037—Parables Part 2 18.03.2024

In the second installment of our Parables Double Feature, the brothers sit down with a strong willed, opinionated spiritual feminist to discuss the Parable Of The Laborers. We all learn a lot about the parable and a little about ourselves.

The first of a two part series features the Maravilla Brothers sitting down with a mormon feminist to talk about a few of their favorite parables. And yes, she knows we call her that. #JudgeNot

035 - The Worst Service Project In The Book of Mormon 26.01.2024

In this episode, we laugh about the terrible service projects we've been a part of. But their nothing compared to the worst service project in the Book Of Mormon.

028-Missionary Prep PART I 14.09.2023

In this episode, we are joined by Liz Maravilla. She helps us stay factual as we discuss mission prep today versus back in our day. Liz doesn't know about that, she didn't serve a mission. So she sits in silence a lot. LOL.

027- Gob pronounced Job 23.08.2023

In this episode, the brothers find humor in before, during and after Job's trials. And lots of other funny church stuff that could lead to every listener having their calling and election made sure. So you'll definitely want to listen to this one.

026- Trek: Mormon Cosplay 02.08.2023

In this episode, the brothers laugh as they discuss what it's like having kids participate in Trek. We know, some of you are saying, "Uh, Honor the name, bro!" But the title just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?
