Send a text
| Thanks for tuning in to Loud Laughter! Today we bring you a truly fascinating collection of tall tales from the Mormon sphere.
First, Sophia describes her unsuccessful quest for exaltation in an eternal life simulation at the church basketball court, and Stella divulges an unusual childhood crush. Then we’ll dive deep into the wild history of the Bear Lake Monster, including eyewitness accounts, Brigham Young’s halfhearted attempt to capture the monster, and modern-day sightings. Finally, we uncover the unexpected location of the lost Ten Tribes.
