Mormon M.A.S.H.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2552611/fan_mail/new]  | In today’s episode, Sophia & Stella play a round of the nostalgic game, M.A.S.H. But this time, there’s a twist: it’s Mormon edition. If you’re unfamiliar with M.A.S.H. (Mansion, Apartment, Shack, House), it is a predictive story-telling game using patterns of elimination to create an image of your future. Will you live forever in a mansion, apartment, shack, house? Will Provo, Utah be your hometown, or is the Spirit of M.A.S.H calling you to paths that you do not know?  Is Stella destined for a fruitful future as the Relief Society General President? Can Sophia avoid her fate as a polygamous wife?  Find out in today’s episode! Predict your own future using our Mormon M.A.S.H.

I Inherited Grandma’s Mystery Sludge: Mormon Food Storage Highs and Lows

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2552611/fan_mail/new]  | What kind of food storage is lurking in your pantry? Flour? Powdered milk? A 5-gallon bucket of crusty old sugar? Or maybe even... a black mystery jelly canned by your grandmother in 1942?  Today, Sophia and Stella spill the dried beans on food storage. First, we'll share some crazy stories from our listeners, covering topics like Armageddon backpack drills and what to do when you inherit way too much wheat.  Then, we'll dive into the origins of food storage. Why was it such a big deal in the 70s and 80s? And has food storage rhetoric really died down in the decades since?  If you stick around until the end, you might just hear how Stella saved our family's food storage in an unconventional and, well, unappetizing way.  Sources: https://www.lds-general-conference.org [https://www.lds-general-conference.org] https://www.mark-davies.org [https://www.mark-davies.org] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973%E2%80%931975_recession?wprov=sfti1# [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973%E2%80%931975_recession?wprov=sfti1#] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1980s_recession?wprov=sfti1#Background [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_1980s_recession?wprov=sfti1#Background] https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/food-storage?lang=eng [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/gospel-topics/food-storage?lang=eng] https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/food-storage/longer-term-food-supply?lang=eng [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/topics/food-storage/longer-term-food-supply?lang=eng] https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teachings-brigham-young/chapter-31?lang=eng [https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teachings-brigham-young/chapter-31?lang=eng] We want to hear from you!

Disney Princess Convent vs. Anti-Mormon Santa | Temple Square Mission Tribute Pt 2

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2552611/fan_mail/new]  | We're back to give you the rest of our inside scoop on the Temple Square Mission! Highlights include: not one, but THREE moonings, a nearly hazardous encounter with a certain sunglasses-clad apostle, and an Anti-Mormon Santa Claus! 😳  Located at LDS Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City, the Temple Square Mission is the world’s only all-female LDS mission. Temple Square missionaries give tours in every language and meet regularly with top LDS leaders. They also have all sorts of amusing (and sometimes, scary) encounters with a cast of characters dubbed Temple Square “regulars”.  Sadly, this unique mission will be dissolved in July of 2026. But lucky for us, we have an inside source to share all of Temple Square’s juicy secrets before the mission disappears forever. Join us for Part 2 to catch one of our hosts spilling all the hilarious and shocking tea of the Temple Square Mission! We want to hear from you!
