The Joe and Smith Podcast: Read the Book of Mormon with us

Alma 05 Part 04 Shall Very Soon Shine Forth

Joe, Smith, Molly, and Reneigh close out their four-part deep dive into Alma 5 — the hardest chapter to finish when you keep getting distracted by werewolves. Is Michael Crichton's Sphere as scripture? Have you seen the anus of Blucifer [https://www.google.com/search?q=Blucifer+blue+horse+Denver+airport]? (he doesn’t like being called that). He's the giant blue horse outside Denver Airport whose sculptor Luis Jimenez famously died during its creation. From there they cover: Skylar Higley's podcast Help Me Be Black [https://www.google.com/search?q=Help+Me+Be+Black+podcast+Skylar+Higley], a heated debate about whether Star Trek is for smart people and Star Wars is for dumb people (Smith's dad's words, not ours), Christopher Nolan's filmography [https://www.google.com/search?q=Christopher+Nolan+films] including a film variously called "Interception" and "Interstellar," and David Bazan's [https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=David+Bazan+Priests+and+Paramedics] ironclad road trip ban as enforced by Reneigh. The group proposes a General Authorities fantasy draft with David Bazan as prophet, seer, and revelator, and reads the most unhinged piece of fan mail in podcast history involving spiders, merit badges, and James A. Garfield. The episode ends with the group accidentally summoning Blucifer himself, who reveals that Charles Barkley runs the Illuminati, falls asleep standing up, and expresses concern about Denver's cold weather and its effect on human anatomy. Molly pitches a complete werewolf-astronaut origin story following the Joseph Campbell hero's journey that honestly sounds like a better movie than most things currently in theaters.  Presented by Catchall Audio Music Provided by Eric VanAusdal [https://open.spotify.com/artist/4tWmnixHo69yfChEdVD55t?si=dT1owJxcR4iCj_JrxK0TMA] The Book of Mormon is publicly available at churchofjesuschrist.org  Become a subscriber on our patreon at- https://patreon.com/joeandsmith [https://patreon.com/joeandsmith]  Remember who you are and what you stand for

Alma 05 Part 03 What's this 'true' shit?

Smith wants to talk KPop Demon Hunters, but Joe is clueless. Joe wants to talk Frankenstein. Someone claiming to be his attorney shows up but he kind of sounds like Bob Odenkirk from this [https://youtu.be/DN9v4-eDHFk?si=e6t-Aua8s8wK8FFF&t=115] TGTTM commercial. The guys try to explain the WoW, but it’s been a while. There is a Blue Mustang that clip-clops around.  Data and Kit try to teach about why you shouldn’t drink and drive. Smith refers to this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27CiI-zMsRA&pp=ygUdZHVuY2FuIHRydXNzZWxsIGRydW5rIGhpc3Rvcnk%3D] Drunk History clip. Joe stumbled upon this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewvRS3NwIlQ&pp=ygUiZHVuY2FuIHRydXNzZWxsIGVsZXBoYW50IGdyYXZleWFyZA%3D%3D] YT video about the Austin comedy scene.    Presented by Catchall Audio Music Provided by Eric VanAusdal [https://open.spotify.com/artist/4tWmnixHo69yfChEdVD55t?si=dT1owJxcR4iCj_JrxK0TMA] The Book of Mormon is publicly available at churchofjesuschrist.org  Become a subscriber on our patreon at- https://patreon.com/joeandsmith [https://patreon.com/joeandsmith]  Remember who you are and what you stand for

Alma 05 Part 02 Behold, are you f***in' stripped of pride?

The guys are joined by Reneigh! Smith wants to collect his cigar funds, and has a note to read from his doctor. Smith suggests reading Michael Crichton over the BOM. Smith asks about a David Bazan documentary [https://strangenegotiationsfilm.com/] and mentions a Pedro the Lion song [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3Yw8jEzt7E]. Smith leaves at the arrival of Minnette Mumbalance. The crew is interrupted by someone speaking in brogue-code. It’s Jenny [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZON59pyX8rM] from Big Brother UK. She’s from Scotland Yard.     Presented by Catchall Audio Music Provided by Eric VanAusdal [https://open.spotify.com/artist/4tWmnixHo69yfChEdVD55t?si=dT1owJxcR4iCj_JrxK0TMA] The Book of Mormon is publicly available at churchofjesuschrist.org  Become a subscriber on our patreon at- https://patreon.com/joeandsmith [https://patreon.com/joeandsmith]  Remember who you are and what you stand for

Alma 05 Part 01 Dee Klein and FinDom

Smith is missing, but Joe is joined by his old buddy Reneigh. They meet Dee Klein who works at the fraud department of Joe’s bank, YourBank. Dee reads from Alma 05 which starts off as a recap of the last few chapters which were probably boring. Reneigh talks about The Traitors [https://www.peacocktv.com/stream-tv/the-traitors] and seems to recommend it.  Dee warns Joe about getting drained.    Presented by Catchall Audio Music Provided by Eric VanAusdal [https://open.spotify.com/artist/4tWmnixHo69yfChEdVD55t?si=dT1owJxcR4iCj_JrxK0TMA] The Book of Mormon is publicly available at churchofjesuschrist.org  Become a subscriber on our patreon at- https://patreon.com/joeandsmith [https://patreon.com/joeandsmith]  Remember who you are and what you stand for

Alma 04 I didn't even ask what color her nipples were

Molly Morgasm joins the guys again and she has a sleepy confession. She is also trying out a new habit. Smith reminds the listener of the toes [https://www.adultswim.com/videos/tim-erics-bedtime-stories/toes] sketch from Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories (TW- this is grooosssssss). Smith brings up this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82x9pzHkHK4] old Onion video. Smith does a spot-on Lorne impression. Joe can’t help but to re-tell this [https://youtu.be/taHv3lmKzjs?si=VywmjlWQV06PR4gN&t=43] joke.  Joe is excited to have a new connection to a Flav connection. Molly and Smith remind Joe about this [https://www.reddit.com/r/exmormon/comments/11bo7nr/elder_hollands_taffypulled_devotional_dont_you/] JRH talk. Molly tells the guys about a wonderful Mindy Gledhill [https://www.youtube.com/@MindyGledhillMusic/featured] song. Smith has a dark epiphany about a Bishop’s interview he heard about. He has a great idea to sell white-on-white sports jerseys for temple workers. Smith recommends listening to the Phineas Gage episode [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Vk3fzxIG0U] of The Dollop Podcast.   Presented by Catchall Audio Music Provided by Eric VanAusdal [https://open.spotify.com/artist/4tWmnixHo69yfChEdVD55t?si=dT1owJxcR4iCj_JrxK0TMA] The Book of Mormon is publicly available at churchofjesuschrist.org  Become a subscriber on our patreon at- https://patreon.com/joeandsmith [https://patreon.com/joeandsmith]  Remember who you are and what you stand for
