Episode 106: D&C 11 – Section 19

This one starts out a bit confusing as even the D&C itself can’t figure out when Section 19 was actually written (or should I say, “Revelated”). Then Christ goes into a full on rap battle, with himself. And of course, we learn how much god is ready to exquisitely punish Martin Harris if he doesn’t give Joe all his earthly possessions.

“Drink!” Count – 17

Around 3 beers

And thank you to everyone that voted for the show in the 2015 Brodie Awards! The show took the Brodie for “Best Scripture Study Blog/Site/Channel/Podcast“ (two years in a row!)

Episode 104: D&C 9 – Section 15-17

This is just a fun conversation with David and Bryce, with a tiny bit of D&C reading in between.

“Drink!” Count – 7

Just a little over 1 beer

Episode 102: D&C 7 – Section 10 (LIVE!)

For the first time ever, David and Bryce record live and in person! It’s so moving that even god cries! And, since it’s been a long time since you’ve gotten a “druken episode”, it felt like time to play along to the drinking game (WARNING: Probably unsafe to play along at home).
First, God takes out an insurance policy to proactively damn anyone that messes with those pesky 116 pages. Then, Jesus steps in and goes on and on with his heavenly caller ID until he messes up and makes a statement that proves beyond a doubt that everything we’re reading isn’t true!

“Drink!” Count – 51

Eight and a half beers!

And thanks to all the Mymos that contributed to the 24 Hour Broadcastaton for the Secular Student Alliance! My thanks to Dogma Debate for hosting such a great event every year. I’m honored to have been a part of it.

Episode 100: D&C 5 – Section 6

For the 100th episode, we are joined by Chuck and Matt from the ‘Irreligiosophy‘ Podcast. Since they were kind enough to have me on as a guest when the show was just starting out, it was overdue to have them on. In this ‘revelation’ we learn that Oliver is quite gifted, and that’s about it. But there’s plenty of history packed into this one, along with plenty of drinking!

“Drink” Count – 32

About 5 and a half beers

Episode 98: D&C 3 – Section 2-3

Breaking news! We have no officially added ‘Behold’ to the drinking game, which is just in time because without it there would have been no drinks in this whole episode! Section 2 comes and goes in a blink of an eye, and not much is said. Then we get Section 3 which is basically god scolding ol Joe for being stupid enough to lose 114 pages of his ‘sacred work’. Oh, and we also find out which auto insurance company god works for.

“Drink” Count – 5 (Almost one beer)

Episode 96: D&C 1 – Introduction

I’m back!! Sorry to all the Mymos for the long wait. But good news, I’m pleased to introduce the show’s new co-host: Bryce Blankenagel from the Naked Mormonism Podcast! I’m so happy to have him on-board!

In this episode Bryce and I unintentionally stumble across some major discrepancies between the original publication of the D&C and the most recent version. Then after a rather comical introduction, we follow Jesus on his tour of the US Northeast and then the Midwest, with some rather odd stops along the way (at one point Jesus is in prison?!?).

Episode 94: Pricey Pearl 11 – Articles of Faith

THE FINAL EPISODE OF THE PRICEY PEARL! WOOT!! Basically what happens is that we learn about the checklist of insanity that every Mormon has to swear that they believe. I think there’s only one “article of faith” that I agreed with; the rest are either weird, inexplicable, confusing, or just plain hilarious.

“Drink” Count – BYOB (technically, no drinks)

Episode 92: Pricey Pearl 10 – History of JS Pt2

This starts off with a big copy/paste from Episode 1, but once we get through that the fun starts. God, the Holy Ghost, and John the Baptist all show up and start handing out priesthoods like candy. Then we get to meet some new characters like Martin, Oliver, the Professor, and Mary Ann (ok fine, not Mary Ann), and they’ve got some tales to tell too.

“Drink” Count – BYOB (technically, no drinks)

Episode 90: Pricey Pearl 8 – Matthew & Special Guest Roman

This one starts out with Ol’ Joe’s re-translation of a chapter of Matthew from the Bible. It’s pretty pointless, but we make it through. Then, we’re joined by a very special guest who makes everything so much more entertaining!

“Drink” Count – 3

Not even half a beer.  Better make em shots!

Episode 88: Pricey Pearl 6 – Abraham 2-3 (Kolob?!?)

I don’t know what else to say. Kolob is a real thing. I’m still in shock. You’ve just got to hear this one to believe it.

“Drink” Count – 4

Not even an entire beer (but plenty of insanity)

Episode 86: Pricey Pearl 4 – Moses 7

Enoch gets whisked away to heaven and to watch the trailer for all of human existence, and it get’s really weird really fast. We get islands emerging from the sea, cities being lifted up to the heavens, mountains running away, rivers changing course, fires, floods and (and I swear I’m not making this up) giants! But then it takes mormon racism to a whole new level. So be prepared for some pretty hateful text, this chapter isn’t pretty.

“Drink” Count – 19

A litter over 3 beers

Click to Listen: Episode 84: Pricey Pearl 2 – Moses 4-5

First we learn that Satan had a waaaaay better plan for the Earth than Jesus ever did. Next, Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, but upon reflection, did they really have a choice? Then Cain kills Abel, but again, can you blame him? Then all of humanity turns against God, what a shocker.

“Drink” Count – 6

1 measley beer

I’ll see everyone in Salt Lake City on June 25!

Click to Listen: Episode 82: BOM Recap and Ramblings

The long awaited “final thoughts” of the Book of Mormon is here.  I do my best attempt to abridge this abridged book, and then share my thoughts about the whole thing. Hopefully I made some sense along the way.

“Drink” Count – This one’s a BYOB

Click to Listen: Episode 80: Moroni 8-9

Almost done the book, but not quite yet. In this episode we learn about the gravest of all sins, baptising little children! Just thinking about it can send you straight to hell, so watch out. Then we hear about the pleasant living conditions in the Lamanite and Nephite prisoner of war camps. I’ll just put it this way, you’d be much better off to die in battle.

Not a ton of drinks in this one, but we do get a bonus shot!

“Drink” Count – 3, plus one shot

So, a shot and half a beer

Click to Listen: Episode 78: Ether 13-15

We finish up The Book of Ether in this one, but it goes out with a bang! We also learn that Ether is nothing more than a cave dwelling babbling lunatic, that god likes practical jokes, and the those Jaradites just can’t turn down the opportunity for a good fight. Seriously, even the Jaradite babies get into the sword swinging action!

“Drink” Count – 50

Almost 8 and a half beers

Click to Listen: Episode 76: Ether 8-10

This one is full of good life lessons. First, a father pimps out his daughter (don’t worry, she actually asks him to). Then we learn to never, under any circumstances, belong to an organzation that has any secrets (God HATES that). Next we get more great parenting advice, namely how to starve a troublesome child to death. And we wrap it up by hearing all about the most violent family in history.

“Drink” Count – 58

Almost ten beers!

Click to Listen: Episode 74: Ether 1-3

The long awaited “Book of Ether” is finally here! Frankly, it starts out a little slow, although some of the names are a bit funny. But then all the sudden it just happens… prehistoric people start building submarines! Its just amazing! I have to be honest, I’m starting to like this Book of Ether.

“Drink” Count – 22

Close to four beers

Click to Listen: Episode 72: Mormon 5-8

Well, it finally happened. The Nephites are all dead. Total genocide. I’m not sure who to blame either, it seemed to me like the Lamanites slaughtered them all, but Mormon is convinced that it was God that did the killing. Then good ol’ Moroni comes back, but he’s not nearly as fun as we remember him from Episode 1. Actually, he’s pretty racist, and quite a bit judgy.

“Drink” Count – 35

Almost 6 beers

Click to Listen: Episode 70: 3 Nephi 28 – 4 Nephi

If you’ve given up on Jesus because he was just too boring or confusing, then you’ve gotta listen to this one! No joke, he takes these three random dudes and turns them into pure awesomeness! Seriously, it’s hard to describe just how awesome these dudes are. You just have to listen for yourself.

“Drink” Count – 41

Almost 7 beers

Click to Listen: Episode 68: 3 Nephi 20-21

Scott and David rack their brains for an hour trying to figure out what in the world Jesus is talking about. Sadly, I’m not sure if we even get close. Seriously though, has anyone been able to make sense of all this babbling? I don’t know how much longer Jesus is going to stick around, but it kinda feels like he’s outstayed his welcome.

“Drink” Count – 25 (this includes the 12 Verily’s)

A little over 4 beers

Click to Listen: Episode 66: 3 Nephi 13-15

If you’ve read the New Testament of the Bible, then I’m afraid there isn’t very much in this one in the way of new material. However, with his second stop on his world tour, Jesus does make a few tweaks to his act so you’d better be paying attention! And then Jesus teaches us that we should never ask god for anything (especially not food, water, or clothes), and then later he tells us that all we need to do is ask god and we will receive… So yeah, who knows?

“Drink” Count – 14 (this includes the 9 Verily’s)

Just a little over 2 beers (weak!)

Click to Listen: Episode 64: 3 Nephi 9-11

This one starts off with mormon god bragging about all the people he just burned, drowned, buried alive, etc. I get a little pissed (well, maybe a little more than a little) and I let god know how I feel about him and his murderous rampage.  But things take a turn for the better because our boy Jesus shows up! But I hope you didn’t have very high expectations, because there seems to be something wrong with his head.

In this episode we’re joined by Scott from the My Biased Opinion blog. And together we read about all the robbers getting senselessly slaughtered, but good news, anyone that survived the carnage is now good and righteous! Then this mysterious figure named Mormon shows up and starts claiming that he’s been writing this book the whole time. How is that even possible?

Almost 4 beers

Click to Listen: Episode 60: Helaman 14-16

For our 60th episode, we are joined by Philip Wells from SAB Books who is in the process of writing The Skeptic’s Annotated Book of Mormon.  And then we get back into Helaman where we learn about some incredible astronomical and meteorological phenomenon that supposedly occurred in the America’s during the birth and death of Jesus. Oh, and then zombies get referenced again, but once again we don’t really get any good zombie details.

Happy New Year’s Mymos!

In this one Nephi v2.0 gets on his prayer tower, which sounds an awful lot like one of those evil Nehor towers, or maybe he’s a Muslim, who knows. He then lives up to his namesake by telling everyone how evil they are and then prophecies about the new Chief Judge getting murdered, or did he plot the murder himself? What a conspiracy!

“Drink” Count – 51

8 and a half beers!
