Abish brings in The Fall, a cranberry-ginger-pomegranate-gin concoction anchored by Trader Joe’s seasonal soda and garnished with pomegranate seeds as a nod to the “forbidden fruit.” The gang immediately veers into a full dissertation on Trader Joe’s plants, tiny grocery aisles, ginger snaps, and then somehow a 20-minute side-quest about Lagoon ride safety (or lack thereof). It is peak “welcome to the podcast, we’ve missed chaos.”

Scriptures: [00:24:16]
aaaAAAaaa takes Moses 3 and turns it into a deranged sci-fi lab log written by Dr. E. Lohim, creator of “living meat prototypes.” Adam becomes a beta-tested dirt man given CPR, Eve is printed from a rib in a 3D-bioprinter, and the garden is essentially an overfunded tech demo with terrible UX. The team spirals into bits about Adam trying to fuck every animal, God being forced to make Eve because Adam was an annoying “hey dad hey dad hey dad” only child, and the Hebrew behind “help meet” actually meaning an equal— something millennia of men conveniently edited out. It’s equal parts theology, parody, linguistic correction, and unhinged improv.

Church Teachings: [00:41:11]
Special guest Claudia dives into men’s mental health and how the church frames it—namely, that men are expected to be stoic, preside, provide, and repress every human emotion until it leaks out as a midlife crisis, a podcast, or a Toyota Tacoma. She breaks down the church’s gender expectations, the false dichotomy of “priesthood = strength, womanhood = nurturing,” and how harmful the “men don’t need emotional support” narrative really is. The crew riffs on cultural conditioning, therapy avoidance, and how Mormonism treats emotional vulnerability in men like a contagious sin. It’s shockingly tender, deeply real, and still full of jokes.

History: [01:19:29]
Abigail covers Harold B. Lee, president, bureaucratic fanatic, and one of Mormonism’s top contenders for “Least Fun Man in History.” She traces his Idaho upbringing, his obsession with discipline and order, his meteoric rise through church admin roles, and how he essentially architected correlation—centralized control disguised as spiritual efficiency. Abigail quotes some of his most cringe-inducing lines about women, obedience, and domestic hierarchy, and pairs them with her own early-marriage horror stories to show just how deeply his ideology soaked into Mormon culture. It’s part biography, part feminist takedown, part comedy roast—classic Abigail.
