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

2 Nephi 08 John BTFW

Smith starts us with a wonderful invocation. It gets a little morbid, but Smith tells us about a classic country song: Bury Me Under That Durian Tree. Joe invokes Marty Robbins. Smith wants to know the difference between light and heavy petting. Good thing Joe learned about it in seminary. The guys detour into more Pavement talk. Joe’s #1 fave Pave-cast is Meeting Malkmus: A Pavement Podcast. A close second: Stuff You Should Know. Smith contends that Malkmus is in the top 5 of the top 10 of something. The same goes for his favorite R.E.M. podcasts. Joe reads a reddit meme from Smith. The guys love to talk about not liking themselves. Joe has an ant update, and Smith has an update from Who-ville. Smith is not yet ready to return and report about the JS apology from last week. Joe discovers that he can see things in JS that he doesn’t like about himself. Joe wants to do a proxy B for PSH. Joe pitches the idea that proxy O’s should include the cause of death. Smith gets a little conspiratorial about what the LDS app is tracking and who is looking. 
The guys are not good at jazz scatting. Joe shares his version of a Simpsons quote. Smith reads a headline about the church covering up sexual abuse. Smith still hasn’t seen Zodiac (2007). Smith asserts that the systems in place in the church are a breeding ground for grooming. The guys quickly veer off into the Potterverse. Joe bears his testimony of the everlasting message from the Fab 4 about love, and he’s not stoned. 
Joe points out why it’s not fun to read the Isaiah chapters on J&SP:RtBOMWU which is that JS did not write them. Is grad school regalia Satan’s counterfeit of the temple ceremony? Are drugs Satan’s counterfeit of the priesthood power? Joe points out that the rights of the priesthood are inseparably connected to white male privilege. Smith feels dumb sometimes, but he isn’t. Joe found a scholarly article where the author asserts that JS did not, in fact,plagiarize Isaiah. Smith asserts that the author’s argument is sometimes referred to in the church as ‘justifying your own sin’. Smith reminds us that morals don’t come from religion. Joe tells the story “he would tell you that he is happy” about a friend’s apostate family member. The talk about how some of their religious trauma involves feeling like they don’t deserve happiness now because they’re not following the church. Smith casually refers to himself as a trainwreck and Joe reminds him that it’s the mormons who taught him that he was a trainwreck, not the gentiles. Smith still has a family member who treats him as if he was a trainwreck. Joe concedes that he had a genuine laugh a the John BTFW video on this chapter. Who’s talents are being wasted on the BOM?

2 Nephi 07 Is This the First 'Your Mom' Joke in the BOM?

The guys are excited about the shoutout they got at the end of a recent episode of Once Upon a Mormon Podcast. They wish Bro Hyrum well on his gay marriage. Joe reiterates that he wants to be the first gay temple marriage, but doesn’t want to poke fun at actual gays, just the church. Smith has seen a couple of church illustrations of JS translating the BOM into a hat. Joe takes this opportunity to compare the sheet illustrations to a translation glory hole. Joe can be so juvenile sometimes. Smith dances around some details, but gets to the point that a family member had admonished him against watching Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! (2007) with his kids. Should he read the BOM with them instead? Neither are actually suitable for children. Smith reminds us that the brethren love our women of the RS. Joe invokes Fiddler on the Roof (1971) and Smith goes down a bit of a Chaim Topol rabbit hole. Joe gets very excited to share with Smith an excerpt from Glenn Ostland’s “The Fictional Apology of Joseph Smith” which he recorded under the influence of Ayahuasca. Check the link below, start at about 19 minutes in.   
Joe has a story about how much of a fan his mother is of Ellen. The guys talk about the conditional love model in the BOM, as well as Rusty’s general conference talk (see link below). Smith remembers being taught in seminary that a lot of NASA employees are LDS. The guys decide that Zuckerberg has done a lot for the church…maybe even for the salvation of mankind? Smith reminds us how badass God was in the last chapter. Smith got Garfiel’d on Dr Who the other day. The BOM has more disturbing content than T&E. Isaiah has a mama dis. Joe can’t stop talking about laser hair removal. 
Smith floats the idea of a patreon and Joe makes a dad joke. Smith reads more from the chapter and Joe finds it necessary to apologize for wasting the listener’s time. The guys don’t love to make definitive statements, but they both agree that nobody should ever read 2 Nephi 7 ever again.

2 Nephi 06 The True Order of Prayer Mantis

Just a head’s up that in this episode, the guys talk about FLDS (and LDS) prophets taking on child brides. The guys start out expressing some frustrations about their preoccupation with sex. Joe questions whether it was brought up as much as it feels like it was, but he still thinks the effect is that it feels like it was brought up all the time. The guys are still bummed that they can’t get gay married in the LDS temple yet (ps- they’re not gay, which makes them think they have a greater chance of it happening). Joe talks about watching Keep Sweet Pray and Obey (2022) on Netflix. Joe realizes that he’s not breaking any new ground, but he wants to point out that there are some pretty big similarities between Jeff Warren and JS. Smith tries his impression from FG, it’s not a pleasant character. Joe teases a youtube video about an upcoming chapter. The video features John BTW, and someone else that Joe mistakes for Elohim. Easy mistake? Smith is excited about The Rehearsal (2022) which is a Nathan Fielder series streaming on HBO. The guys talk about some of their favorite moments from Nathan For You (2013) which was on comedy central. It can be pretty painful to watch, but there is a heart in there somewhere. It’s quite a mini love-fest for NF. 
What do the guys do during the break? Stare. Joe visits the corrections department about Meshach Taylor. The guys take a minute to mock the idea that the BOM is an historical record for the Jewish people. Smith remembers a news story about Rusty donating a pretty large chunk of money to the NAACP. Smith gets a little confused (or maybe Joe’s confused) about letters. Jacob comes in hot in this chapter, even though he sounds a lot like Nephi, and/or JS. Joe tries to gross out the listener with nursing and licking sounds. 
Joe was distracted by a cicada outside of his window but he didn’t lose a chance to tell this praying mantis dad joke. Smith helps elevate everyone to the idea of the true order of praying mantis. Smith points out how Nephi (JS) is being shitty about how easy it is to understand Isaiah from the OT. Are you not being all-the-way obedient to JS’s God? What do you expect, love??? God (JS) makes some pretty terrifying threats in this chapter. Joe has a suggestion, like a BOJ-level suggestion, for how the lord can make us drunk on our own blood.

2 Nephi 05 You're Black Now

The guys are excited about their new theme song. Maybe the listener has heard it before, but this is when it debuted for them. Joe makes Smith listen to a wacky recording from Willy Wood. The guys wonder what it would be like to leave the early church and if it would upset JS. Joe returns and reports about Matt Easton, who mentioned being a proud gay son of God in his BYU valedictorian commencement speech. Joe has a lot of indignation about J-Ho’s response. Joe watched Won't You Be My Neighbor? (2018) and wishes that the general authorities taught love and acceptance. The guys figure out how tall D’Oakes is. Smith bears his testimony of Fred Rogers. Neither of the guys have seen A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood (2019). 
Smith doesn’t want to deal with Zoram today, and who could blame him? Nephi doesn’t want to sound like it was his idea to name the place after him. The guys have a new take on the BOM’s use of the word multiply. 
Smith calls for (and Joe agrees) the church to remove this section of the BOM. It’s made up. It’s not helping society. JS wants to make damn certain that the reader knows that those 116 pages were stolen, he takes an opportunity in this verse to do so. Joe reads from an apologist website that explains the blatant racism in this chapter and Smith does not like it. Joe goes into a quick summary of the problems surrounding the books of Abraham and Moses that JS claims to have translated from papyri. Smith points out how impressive it is to pull an entire religion out of a hat.

2 Nephi 04 For a More History Part

It’s getting hot in Smith’s studio and he claims that sitting on cold rice can help. Joe does a little fact-checking on a supposed JS quote. The guys also mistake where the “save Jesus only” quote is, but they figure it out eventually. The guys aren’t sure whether the JS quote really came from him or not. Smith reminds the listener that if they disagree with him, they’re probably disagreeing with God too. Smith recaps how he feels about re-reading Rough Stone Rolling. Joe watched the Netflix Kanye West documentary (Jeen-Yuhs, 2022). He liked the documentary, but he’s still a little triggered by people who take their religion too seriously. The guys mention that one big difference between polyamory and LDS polygamy is consent. Smith reminisces about the JFS story where he’s “true blue through and through”. The guys are still not happy about Rusty’s flex to move away from Mormon as a nickname. The church continues to double-down on anti LGBTQIA policies while stating otherwise. Joe tells a story about his MTC companion who disapproved of missionaries building a snowman. 
Smith reads a facetious tweet from a facetious twitter account about black people keeping their first estate. The guys try out what it’s like to sing praises to God for eternity in the CK. It’s been a long time since Joe has seen Mannequin (1987) and Smith has never seen it. Joe had to do some explaining after watching some Dave Chappelle standup with his son who identifies as gay. Smith reads a quote from Rusty about God’s love not being unconditional which makes Joe angry. Smith eases the tension with a sacred hymn. The guys recap some HP characters including, Henry Porter, Horgrid, Dumbledorf, and Professor McGillicuddy. The God of the BOM is a God of conditional love. The guys decide they need more sh*t to talk about HBE. Both Joe and Smith were taught that poligamy will exist in the afterlife. It takes almost an hour before the guys start reading in this one. Sam has a conversation with Lehi about not wanting to have to hang out with Nephi after Lehi dies. Joe gets excited thinking about Nephi repenting of being such an a**hole to his brothers. 
Smith teases everyone with some droop talk. He casts Zoram out of their presence. Joe thinks the BOM could use 80% more of some of the messages here. Is Nephi talking about building a Frankenstein? Why does the cadence change so much?

2 Nephi 03 That Was Fapping, Not Clapping

Unbeknownst to the listener, the guys have had a long break from the podcast and they missed each other. They already want to make sure that the listener is clued in on a mistake that is coming up on the next episode. Smith tells about what it was like to get a video message from Joe in a sexy, sexy, hospital gown. The guys think they are funny, but they personally know people who are funnier. Smith’s dad is doing his best to show unconditional love for his children despite what he learned in the BOM. J Sesh was a bad guy. Phineas Gage had an interesting life. Joe delivers his first annual state of the podcast speech. He will pause for claps and faps. 
Joe saw the Elvis movie with a wonderful audience member. Johnny Cash was AKA Johnny Depp. The spirit is PFT, but also Melvin. One is OK with potty humor. The spirit calls Joe to repentance about his efforts in terms of his thoughts. Joe tries to cast an ant out of his presence, but it doesn’t work. Smith finished watching The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) and he liked it. The guys consider watching the movie Paddington 2 (2018) together. Joe loses it hearing Smith’s idea for a new way to inflect for saying the name of the 2nd token of the M priesthood. Joe misses his queue for a U-S-A chant. Joe tries to dispel a rumor as Deter, but he can’t pull it off. Smith figures out an acceptable abbreviation for ‘fruit of thy loins’ and Joe laughs like an adolescent. Smith doesn’t like Joe’s new idea about the genital operation for those in the lower kingdoms. Joe is tickled by the idea of the Lord raising up a Moses. Bane shows up to remind us that he is not as good of a villain as BY. Joe tries to tell the story about Matt Easton, but he gets most of the details wrong. Joe thinks JS was feeling a little insecure while writing this chapter. Smith recognizes that he needs to bring back Jahndallyn soon. We may have learned that Smith has to do the podcast for community service hours.

2 Nephi 02 F**k You, Cl*on Sk**sen

Smith introduces us to a very unlikable version of JS. Joe assures Smith that all sorts of women must be attracted to him. Smith concludes that it's difficult to be single as well as in a relationship. Joe tries to flex his BSA knowledge. Smith plays a similarly unlikable version of Joe in a reenactment of a phone convo with Joe’s dad. Smith wants to watch Encino Man (1992) instead of reading the BOM. 
Smith is curious about the baldness scale. Joe remembers hearing a wonderful round of FMK with the 1st presidency on the Once Upon a Mormon podcast. Joe reads a message from a listener about the sexy merits of drisilque garments. Smith remembers doing a FB check-in on his mission trainer who remains an ###hole. Joe has a tech issue and apologizes for it. Smith delights Joe with Slingblade Lehi. The guys reiterate that they know that they say shi**y things sometimes when they’re trying to be funny. They don’t mean to offend, but they’ve been offended.
Lehi shows up to tell us a sacrament story from Smith’s youth. Joe challenges some of the logic from the chapter about righteousness = happiness. Also, punishment is a good thing in the BOM. Michael Ballam shows up as Lucifer to threaten having control. Unlikable JS shows up again to remind everyone that they have to do what the BOM says or they will be miserable.

2 Nephi 01 This is God Stuff, Not Yours

Audiofiles: apologies. It sounds like Joe recorded his part of the conversation in a different room from his mic. The guys rate each other on funniness. They’re probably both too generous. Smith tells Joe about Brigham Morris Young, it’s news to Joe. Joe tells Smith about Ervil LeBaron, who kind of sounds like a Mormon Charlie Manson. Joe is still a little disturbed over the allegations against G Bitner Hinckley from The Godmakers 2. Smith says that he never felt a personal relationship with Jesus while in the church. Joe agrees and says that he felt unworthy because of stigmas against masturbation in the church at the time. Wickedness never was happiness originated with someone who was doing wickedness wrong. 
Joe wants to sing a song coming back from break, but Smith won’t stop talking about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Smith gets in touch with his vocal fry ability. Smith points out the fact that icebergs have never caused a problem in history that we know of. The chapter starts off hot by reminding readers that Columbus was a good guy. Joe points out some pretty terrible justifications for what he sees at the BOM version of manifest destiny. Name reveal: Podcast Podcast Smith and Joe Podcast Podcast. Smith likes the idea of reading the BOM at Joe to condemn him. Do you know more primary songs than Disney songs? Joe thinks he may have found a verse in the BOM with a positive message. When he puts it into context however, it’s still telling him he’s not good enough. 
Joe doesn’t want to go to hell so he’s listening to Smith read him the BOM. Joe inadvertently forms a Cut Your Hair chiasmus. Also again: obey JS, and you will get money. Joe mistakes ch 4 for ch 5. It’s an honest mistake. Zoram makes a quick appearance and he’s definitely not suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. Smith is worried about the hate in his heart, but Joe reassures him that they can overcome what they’ve been taught. Joe reminds the listener that JS is an incredible conman. 90+ y/o white men quote the BOM as if it’s scripture. Smith admits that his testimony was shaken by BKP’s hateful, limp, handshake. Smith needs to end quickly because of a star war.

1 Nephi 22 Yes, They Are Sheep

Smith comes in hot with a bunch of topics that will not be covered. Joe starts talking about The God Makers and its sequel, but he gets distracted easily. The guys appreciated the first one, with the exception of all of the Christian friendly fire. The second one wasn’t great. Joe talks about his experience listening to the Jahndalynn interview with Eddie D (see link below, it’s nearly 4 hours long). 
The Tanners wrote a book, but they also have insight into authenticating documents from their knowledge of the tanning process. JS starts this chapter with a convenient, leading question from L&L. JS loves white people, says Smith. Smith doesn’t like sheep because he was told that it was a good thing to be one. He’s also not a fan of the repentance concept as a way to keep church members on the defensive, or feeling bad about themselves. Smith fantasizes about the idea of Temple Square having the actual brass plates, sword of Laban, seer stone, etc. Joe thinks that the urim and thummim could be like a really good Snapchat filter. Joe starts an awkward conversation with Melvin the holy spirit, who in turn, wants to talk to Zoram. Probably just skip the last 10 minutes.

1 Nephi 20 and 21 He's Smarter Than I am, Joseph F****n' Smith

Smith drops out from a tech issue, and Joe thinks it might be safe to tell how he really feels, but Smith returns before Joe could say anything. Joe makes Smith listen to a clip from the National Press Club interview with DAB and it’s frustrating. Jahndalynn comes to visit for a little bit. Joe gets excited about the multiverse and the singularity, and he’s not even high. Smith tells Joe about the whittling whistling brigade, and you’re going to need moisture on your lips to whistle. The guys reflect on how gruesome the JS death scene was in Under the Banner of Heaven episode 5. Joe talks to Jahndalynn about an antidiscrimination law that the church helped write, it doesn’t prevent discrimination. 
Joe starts and comes back from the break mid-conversation about dirty nursery rhymes from 2 Live Crew and the Dice-man. Joe reads a message from the listener. Smith says a sweet prayer to EBV who provides our music. 
Joe points out some of the differences between the OT verses in 1 Nephi 20 and the BOM versions of the verse. They seem pretty self-serving for JS. Smith notices that a lot of the OT revolves around justice. Joe notes that the BOM is a lot better as a work of fiction.
