How do we feel about my cinematic intro?
It would have been very funny if you had stuck to the plan of making him sound like Jesus, but I liked learning about the year with no summer stuff. Sounds like something God would do.
That was VERY well delivered! And great setting up the context!
I liked it a lot, but I *loved* the background noises, especially the coughing.
It was nice! I hope more of them can pop up!
Loved it!
Exmo here. You calling him Moron-e is literally sending me. I love it so much. Thank you for covering this. Next time irrational guilt hits me I’ll listen again to all the scams LOL
As an exmo living in Utah where nearly every city is named after a BoM character, this is so extra funny.
His repeated bashing of his head against rocks explains a lot.
The way I gasped when Caelan said they hadn't seen The Mummy (1999). It's good they had drawn me in with that deliciously flawless Moira Rose impresión. Amazing episode, as always.
Been trying to reply to you vis a vis the Bering Land Bridge, but something in my reply was tripping up the Community Guidelines and when I edited my comment to add it to my original comment, it just deleted the whole comment thread. So I'll just post the article title here: "Late Upper Paleolithic occupation at Cooper’s Ferry, Idaho, USA, ~16,000 years ago" from Science. I'm not planning to argue this further, wrestling with unclear commenting rules for 2 days for a single comment is way too much time to spend on this, but I wanted to provide some evidence of my claims before I dipped.
a small correction: Martin Harris didn't lose the first 100 or so pages of the Book of Mormon, his wife Lucy stole them and hid them. She basically said, "if you're really translating this stuff from an ancient book, you'll have no problem recreating these 100 pages."
Based Lucy
Based lmao
This is a south park myth
@@samdedman9629 Mormonism is completely made up (all religions are) so it's really not that big of a deal. Honestly, that's the least oyr the Mormon church's problems. By a mile...
There's actually no proof for this, as far as I'm aware. It's a legitimate theory, but all we know for certain is what was said in the video- Harris took the pages to show his family and one way or another, he lost them
Quorum of the Twelve also appears in both iterations of Battlestar Galactica. (Which was basically a bit like Mormons in Spaaaaaace.)
Just a quick quibble -- it's "more OWN eye" (which doesn't lend itself as well to the "moron" jokes, but that's how they say it!)
Otherwise, still really loving this one as a long-since-former Mormon who left because pretending not to be queer wasn't a viable long-term plan. 😁🌈
Turn it off. Like a light switch.
Couple fun facts:
So the Celestial kingdom is actually further split into 3 levels, and only people married in the temple get to become gods. Also its only the men. The wives are just their husbands servants, not gods in their own right.
I believe the other two levels are just. Men and women devided? But i honestly dont remember for sure about that.
Second, Outer Darkness is only accessible to those who deny god to his face. So you have to literally see god and then betray him or deny he is god or something like that. So theres only a few souls there supposedly.
the kingdoms of heaven are compared to the sun, the earth, and the moon & stars- Celestial is the brightest/best and where God lives with the people who got married in the temple, Terrestrial is chill and not really so bad (iirc it's supposed to literally be earth as paradise after the second coming), and Telestial is like. i guess you did your best lol.
Well, if I can't be a goddess and reign over my own domain, I don't want it. They can take this trash religion back to the kitchen.
@@mercury4885 OMG the Telestial Kingdom is literally a participation trophy!!! I better not hear a single conservative make fun of this again when one of their weird cults has an entire participation trophy level of heaven...
Yes it is lmfao. Also it gets wilder, they believe at some point if you're good enough then if you're a man you can become a God of your own little kingdom with your wife. Lmfaooooo
Ex Mo here, loving this podcast episode! I grew up gay and biracial in an all white church, I live to listen to the church and it's founders be dragged!
okay but im gonna be singing the joseph smith song from south park the whole time
So true story here. I was raised Mormon, and when I first heard of Moroni visiting Joseph with an open robe, my internal mental image was of joseph kneeling before him, and playing with Moroni's "melchezi-dick" priesthood. The mental image wandered in and out of my head all throughout my teens and 20's.
..... I really should have figured out that I'm bi/pan sooner.....
Something that absolutely needs to be said about Mormonism is that suicide is consider one of the greatest sins, I was taught that if you commit suicide you go straight to Super Hell (outer darkness) no saving throw. Which, as an ex-Mormon who's been suicidal my entire life, is a very fun bit of religious trauma for me to grapple with every time I ideate :)
Not Mormon specific unfortunately. Pretty sure it's in Catholicism as well that suicide sends you to hell. You couldn't be buried in a church graveyard if you committed suicide (although in the 1900's i know you could get around this by claiming the deceased was of unsound mind when they committed the act)
Wow, really? I'm also an ex-Mormon, and I don't remember anything about that. I do remember when they considered homosexuality to be a grave sin second only to murder and equal to rape, but I hear they've lightened up ever so slightly about that. Too bad I decided to both be gay and suicidal, eh?
Things can definitely be too white lol. Snow blindness was common before we had sunglasses and shit and could make people go kinda nuts.
I'm an ex-mormon and I am PUMPED
That was a lot of fun.
I can't wait for the inevitable part 2 when you all roast Brigham Young.
Omg YESSS
Outer Darkness! Omg it's Castiel's super hell!
I hate my brain for making me know these things
Going through your back catalog and I am thrilled to hear you talk about J smitttie. I lived in Utah for like 25 years and a lot of my lifelong friends are (now) exmos. Also we jokingly call mormonism "Business Catholocism".
"Business Catholicism" lmao
Yes! When this podcast started he was literally the first person I thought of. Glad to see him getting the attention he deserves
Really enjoying listening to this while stoned out of my gourd in my Mormon bishop father's house.
tangentially related but while i was still compelled to attend church i fantasized more than once about swapping the young single adult ward's sacrament bread for edibles. my only regret in leaving is that i didn't at least try
HOLY SHIT CAELAN CONRAD MORMON EPISODE how did it take me this long to find this ?!?! this is absolutely my thing omg
*rubbing my petty little exmo hands together* yessssssssssss
as a trans exmo i can’t thank you enough for making this 😭😭😭
Same!
LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Very excited for this one as an ex mormon
Not y'all pronouncing Moroni wrong 😭
With all the stuff you say about how wild a Mormon video game would be, it reminds me of the massive series of Mormon fantasy novels.
Better known as the Stormlight Archive.
Dalinar Kholin is literally Joseph Smith.
It really is wild to think about how the rest of the world would view the Kholins/all the stuff happening throughout the books, especially Dalinar's heresy
I was listening to this in another room, and got an ad for a video game. But didn't immediately realize it was an ad.
Hell with missionaries just sounds like hell but *also* being annoyed constantly.
I was raised Mormon and have now left while being really into exmo content … I have NEVER heard of the year without a summer 😂 that’s a fascinating addition to the JS story
Same!! They go on and on about his history, but never talk about the year without summer? You'd think it would add to the mysticism
"God's like you know what I love... Missouri" as someone who has live in Missouri their entire life I am dying with laughter. I've seen the Book of Mormon musical tour twice in this state. At the part where they mention "Jackson County Missouri" the crowd always applauds for a long time. We are a depressed people.
Ok so, Joseph Smith as voiced by a muffled Caelan is absolute comedy gold
I am in the process of writing a book (sadly, not given to me by Moroni to transcribe and translate). The phrase “god plates” made something click in my head, so I think I’m gonna have offerings made on special plates made for that purpose. Thanks for the inspiration!
Such a pepper box pistol did appear in the D&D show Critical Role, and it was upgradeable at different character levels.
WHY AREN'T MY HEADPHONES CHARGING FASTER
THERE THEY ARE
BEEFMORONI
Joseph Smith got kicked out of church for playing D&D
Mandy's the problem, it's Mandy.
(for making me think of the giraffoborous eating its own neck)
N.B. my grandpa was descended from that original band of Ohio Mormons. I don't know if he was raised Catholic or if he converted when he married grandma, but his cousins were still Mormon.
29.46 reminds me of the time I was admitted to hospital from the emergency room and asked the nurse for a pad cause I was on my period. She *would not* take the word "pad" into her mouth. It was all "I'm gonna look for what you asked for" and "after you get settled I'm gonna get you what you asked for" and "I am gonna bring you what you asked for before putting in the IV". This all in the strongest Berlin accent, which is the German version of saying "Hey I'm walkin' over heeere". Like, girl, what are you being so formal for, I know you're gonna go eat Currywurst for breakfast after this?
The fear of swaying of elections by a new religious group reminds me of "Wild, Wild Country". Has anyone else in this comment section seen this docuseries? It's on Netflix & was popular enough to be parodied on "SNL".
Mormonism is so bizarre because we know so much about it’s founder. Like a big pull of traditional Christianity is that it bases itself off of ancient esoteric figures, some of which may not have existed, like Moses, and some of which are basically universally accepted by historians to have existed, but who’s personality is shrouded in mystery, like Jesus and Paul the Apostle. With Mormonism we know SO MUCH about Joseph smith that it’s kinda insane that there are modern converts to it in 2024.
Like imagine if all other religions had dirt on their founders like Mormonism does- like you go to mass one day and before the trans-substantiation the priest tells a sermon about that one time a 22 year old Jesus got thrown out of a Jewish settlement for cashing bad checks and selling bootleg Torah’s. That’s not far off from Mormonism.
Exmo here: it's so fascinating to hear people react to what we grew up being taught. Like it really does sound like a video game, and I honestly never thought of it that way XD
Ps, it's like nails on a chalkboard for me hearing Moroni pronounced wrong (the indocrination goes DEEP y'all). But the petty part of me is glad he got unintentionally dunked on like that. I mean, if Joe didn't want us to pronounce it "moron-i" he should have spelled it differently. You'd think god's bff would know better
fuck yes we're back (missed u guys)! Ok, gonna listen now
respect the dead season 2 episode 1: Jesus, would be quite a thing
This was awesome. I actually recently watched a video about the LDS church by knowing better and like that plus this explains so much. I grew up with Mormon friends, my friends dad was a bishop in the church even... like it's crazy. So learning about this stuff has been fascinating. Great choice of topic can't wait for the next one ❤
THEY'RE SO BACK!
We stan an inopportune upload hour!
We wanted it out at midnight every monday but hoots is in California so we settled on midnight her time lol
I'll be honest, the name Joseph Smith didn't ring any bells. But the way I gasped when it was revealed who this MF was and what he's responsible for. This one is gonna be juicy, let me grab some tea real quick
Awesome video, I do just want to say that Emma *was* educated. Pretty well, actually. If I'm remembering correctly, she was more educated than Joseph (which wasn't hard but the point still stands lol)
I missed this podcast, Joseph Smith is such a good fit for it lol
Glad to know I'm not the only one who first heard about the year without a summer from Rasputina
PRAISE BE!!!! Another RTD episode!!!
Ok wow, I knew he was dead, but not *that* dead
Need a part 2 about Brigham Young
YES.
@@sevans8784YES i third that
a customer at my job was telling one of my coworkers about her conversion to Mormonism and all I could think was "Joseph Smith and Brigham Young: conning people since 1835"
10:34 "GOD'S ALLOWED TO DO THAT"
is frankly a quality future merch slogan
during his divinations he was able to "read" the plates because of the lack of oxygen in the hat
I've only heard Scientology & half of this so far, but I'm absolutely desiring with all my heart RtD keeps going on religious figures until there's a Comparative Religions + Spiritual Movements playlist all its own.
It's an obsession of mine, so eventually you will! - cae
Great timing! Just yesterday I was randomly thinking about this podcast and wondering when a new episode would drop💗
Poor Emma, she couldn't write very fast because she had a tiny hand.
I thought they were going to take this exact joke, genuinely surprised they didn't 😂
Moroni's appendage though? They ran with it
Mormonism is just Scientology for people who prefer fantasy over sci-fi.
Lord of the Hat Rocks, vs Sea-Org Wars, if you will (please do, I had to read the scientology glossary for a term that would barely fit the pun)
Any other ex-mo's here so they can say "I hate him so much" for 2 hours?
Just like L. Ron Hubbard did? Joeseph did it first.
We're just comparing him to someone previously on the podcast.
personally i'd love to see a death match between them. legendary psionic warrior L. Ron Hubbard vs unofficial 4th member of the trinity Joseph Smith
7:57 I think the pengwing man looks like a cat.
You should get an email list of Mormons and send a link to this podcast out to all of them.
Season 2 baybeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!
26:06 "That'd mean there's SO MANY SHAFTS."
--- hoots {I think?}
thanks for another episode yall :)
It really is meditative
Rasputina heck yeah!
WE'RE BACK BABY. 👏🏻👏🏻👀🐛💀💀
Why doth the noble state of Tennessee lieth athwart the visage of the Great and True Prophet?
As a Vermonter I apologize for unleashing this thing on the rest of the country.
I’m in one of the Epicentres of the Mormon community in southern Alberta.😅
THERE WAS AN AD FOR AN ADIO BIBLE AP ON THIS VIDEO WHAT
16:17 but what are we supposed to do in the gazebo Caelan ?
I was not prepared to hear how many similarities exist between Mormonism and my indigenous beliefs…do we know anything about Joseph Smiths external influences??
RASPUTINA! i've seen them four times. Melora Creager is my fkn she-ro!
1:11:46 joseph smith, the original glasshole
31:25 i am the sigma and the omega
1:08:00
Cool disrespect a Prophet of God, I mean that makes you soooo cool.....not
we didn't lol
@@RespecttheDeadPodcast keep telling yourself that. Won't make it true might make you feel better though.
He wasn’t a prophet of god he was delulu baby
@@RespecttheDeadPodcast add me to that list. I prefer that camp. At least I'll be in good company with the Prophets of God. "Delulu baby" if he was delusional say schizophrenia and heard voices this you'd still be living up to your podcast name well done. At least you weren't part of false advertising.
@@Dandeeman26holy shit wow😅😂😂
I can stay silent no longer: Caelan I think you need to know the way you say "no" (aka "nahrrr") sounds like my name and it throws me off every single time lmao.
Its the way English people say no i think, so somewhere a whole continent is saying your name almost constantly
@@HandyDandy6 Australia.
@HandyDandy6 Australian here and I both
1. Know someone named Nor
2. Know that most Aussies don't actually sound like that, because their name doesn't really register as like, "no" to me 😂
But some Aussies 100% do sound like that and it is funny, we deserve that joke
Moroni sounds like macaroni lmao
Any relation to Carol Marinara?? Is she actually a Mormon saint??
For the algorithm
