Merry Christmas Mymos!

This one starts out a little preachy, but it doesn’t take long before the action starts. We’ve got people bursting into flames, god whispers from the sky, earthquakes, dark clouds covering the earth, and a whole lot more! And the surprises continue as the Nephites and Lamanites decide to switch sides in the whole “good guy/bad guy” thing.  Oh yeah, and then the evil capitalists finally defeat those godly socialists.

We start out with lots of family drama since our good friend Pahoran went off and died. After a lot of killing, the Lamanites sneak in again and take the Zarahemla with barely a fight. The struggle for land possessions goes back and forth as both sides try to out “stiffneck” each other.

The Nephites lose another city and Moroni decides that it’s all the government’s fault. Then he goes into conspiracy theory mode and threatens a military coup if the government doesn’t give in to his demands. The stage is set for more excitement as the never ending book of Alma isn’t done yet!

Moroni is so busy repressing his own people, and even decides to execute thousands of them for being political dissenters, that the Lamanites just walk right in the back door and take a whole bunch of cities. But not to worry, Teancum is sent to find a way to trick those Lamanites out of their defensive positions. Will his plan work?

In this one the Lamanite army comes charging into Nephite territory, and then suddenly forgets what armies are supposed to do when they are attacking a neighboring land.

So Amalickiah comes up with one of the craziest plans ever to try and take down the king of the Lamanites. Will he succeed, or will they see through his evil cunning ways? After that, we get a whole chapter trying to convince us that Moroni and the Nephites are the good guys.

And yes, by popular request, I played along again with the drinking game!

We finally get our bloody end to the battle from the last episode (you’ll never guess who wins). Next, Alma kinda dies or something.

Click to Listen: Episode 47: Alma 41-43

This one starts out a little slow with Alma tying, quite poorly, to explain god’s plan. But it is pretty entertaining hearing him try. Then, we finally get our battle that we were promised several episodes ago! And, as we hoped, it gets nice and bloody real fast! Don’t be disappointed by the lack of drinks in the beginning of the episode, there’s plenty of drinking during the battle!

“Drink” Count – 37

A little over 6 beers

Click to Listen: Episode 46: Alma 38-40

In this one we learn that Corianton chased the skirt a little too much and ol Daddy Alma is not very pleased. But, as usual, Alma gets a little drunk in the middle of all his blabbering and starts going on and on about zombies. Seriously, I think Alma might need professional help.

“Drink” Count – 16

Not even 3 beers?? Weak!

Click to Listen: Episode 45: Alma 34-37

Oh Alma, you are torturing us! We finally get evidence that Alma must be drinking during his long speeches, because he just gets weirder and weirder the longer he talks. And we get all the buildup for an epic battle, but it looks like we’ll have to wait until later before we find out what happens.

In this one we get a tremendous battle, the likes of which has never been seen, but sadly it ends up being quite anti-climactic. Also, the newly converted Lamanites go to live with their Nephite brothers, but the Nephites decide to play mafia boss with them instead. And of course, those evil Amalekites just keep getting more and more evil!

Yup, I’m bowing out from the drinking game for now. Don’t worry, I’ll still be calling out the drinks! Anyway, in this episode Ammon and his bros turn into the world’s greatest missionaries, and then things go a little sideways when they all decide to stop fighting and just let themselves be slaughtered instead. Warning: This one is a bit bloody, but not nearly as bad as we’ve seen thus far.

In this episode David not only started recording after several drinks, but he also played along with the drinking game! So, it is either one of the funniest episodes or the worst one ever, depending on your sense of humor.

Anyway, in this one we have a hot and steamy scene between Ammon and a Lamanite King, and then everyone in the royal palace drops dead, or do they???

Alma gets all preachy in this one. He tells everyone about how loving god is, and then explains that they’ll be hacked apart and burned if they don’t believe in him.  Then he tells them that they’re all sheep and better figure out which shepherd to follow, and fast!  This should be nicknamed the “Yea episode”, one chapter alone has 38 Yeas!

Wow, this is a bloody episode. I feel like I should add an explicit warning label on this one just for all the gory violence in these chapters!
