Spoiler alert: the Flaming Moe-Mon might not be the only thing on fire.

Get ready for a biblical breakdown with Moroni as he takes a sarcastic stroll through the Book of Mormon. Discover the alleged origins of the name "Mormon" and witness the hosts dissecting the Nephite-Lamanite war with a healthy dose of skepticism and humor. The narrative's absurdity, body counts, and religious justifications for violence are laid bare, leaving you questioning the Book of Mormon's storytelling choices. And don't miss the hosts' commentary on repentance and humility – because nothing says humility like a good old-fashioned war.
Church Teachings: [00:52:19]
aaaAAAaaa takes the mic to explore Church Teachings on the 12 tribes of Israel, from their ancient origins to modern patriarchal blessings. Uncover the intricacies of the tribes' names, blessings, and the divine allocation process, spiced up with hilarious anecdotes from Reddit users. The hosts sprinkle humor on the interpretation of Israel in different contexts, leaving you questioning whether losing your inheritance due to immorality is a genuine concern or just a divine eye-roll.
History: [[01:15:55]
Join Abigail on a whirlwind historical tour from biblical patriarchs to the tumultuous events of 1949 and beyond. Marvel at the favoritism of Jacob (Israel) toward his sons, question the historicity of the 12 tribes, and ponder the symbolic nature of this biblical account. Traverse through the Roman Empire, Byzantine rule, Ottoman control, and the twists and turns leading to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. The hosts leave no stone unturned, infusing the narrative with snark and wit, making history as entertaining as it is informative.
Abigail unpacks the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with a touch of dark humor. From the mass exodus of Palestinian refugees in 1949 to false flag operations and failed peace deals, the hosts dissect the complexities of the region. Enter the Trump era's "deal of the century," side-eyeing all the way. The historical context blends seamlessly with the hosts' critiques of Brigham Young's views on Jews, bringing you face to face with the harsh realities of the conflict. Spoiler alert: 2023 hasn't been a walk in the park, and the hosts are here to give you a dose of snark, sarcasm, and a hint of nihilism on the deadliest year on record for Palestinians. Buckle up for a podcast journey that spares no one and nothing.
