Celebrating two birthdays this week on MHH, no, not that one you’re thinking of that’s also happening this week. So to do that, I dug deep into the MHH material stash and brought out three gems to gift you! First up, the concluding Part III of John & Mary, advice from Spencer W. Kimball, in a segment with Marie Hill of Feminist Mormon Reading Roast. Next, Mithryn stops by to give us the real history behind beard cards at BYU and share some of the fascinating facial hair drama that still exists today. And to wrap it up, hear some behind the scenes info from Ryan McKnight, co-founder of MormonLeaks regarding the leaked audio of McKenna Denson confronting Joseph Bishop about sexually assaulting her at the MTC. Don’t forget to call in to the MHH voicemail, 435-494-1427. And if you’re feeling generous this season, those two birthdays mentioned are accepting gifts at the Mormon Happy Hour Patreon page and on Venmo! Cheers!
Mormon Happy Hour pairs up for a glorious evening with the Drunk Mormon Podcast. We meet up together, make cocktails and tell our Mormon Exit stories and how we both came to create a Mormon based podcast. We reclaim our Mormon Identity and share how we tackled so many faith crisis dilemmas. Does God exist? Is there a higher power? How do we explain “spiritual” experiences from our Mormon childhood? What do autonomy and authenticity look and feel like? Then we wrap things up with their favorite Drunk Mormon episodes and their favorite featured drinks! Mmmm, you gotta try these!
Colleen gives an update on Sam Young’s Hunger Strike this past week in downtown SLC. Then she RANTS about the GIANT loophole that basically makes BYU’s recent Amnesty Policy completely worthless, as was demonstrated at BYU-I when a student was expelled by her Bishop following a sexual assault. And to wrap things up on a lighthearted note, she gives you the gift of Ethan Dodge of MormonLeaks, an interview from Sunstone. It’s basically lots of shit talking and cheap jokes. Colleen sounds really stupid, and Ethan shows off his nerdy smart knowledge correcting her. They both practice roasting Ryan McKnight, the ego behind MormonLeaks. For bonus points, what’s the phrase in this video that would make a winning drinking game prompt? Check out the FULL VIDEO of the interview on Patreon!
The Angels on Fire showcase the #andsoIstayed hashtag begun by Jennie Willoughby, ex-wife of Trump Secretary, Rob Porter and how this experience is relevant within her LDS culture. Colleen shares updates for Missionaries and their usage of social media to communicate with friends, family, and prospective spouses. Miranda and Colleen discuss common experiences within local Exmo Support groups with predators. Check out a new hilarious Instagram account @the_angelmoroni and their video “When Mormon Prophets are DTF.” Don’t miss the full episode video live on Patreon!
The Angels on Fire sit down with Ryan McKnight of MormonLeaks for an enlightening round of Truth or Dare, in the spirit of Truth and Transparency. Listen to Ryan tell stories, drunk rants, and sing a primary song! Is he a confirmed homosexual? Is he honest? You decide! Once he’s had far too many shots, Ryan dives into his two favorite topics, Soaking at BYU and Multi-Level-Marketing. But you’ll have to check those out on our Patreon page, where you will also find all the video footage of this episode.
