[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Sisters claim it's the "middle" of summer when summer literally starts the day after this podcast is published. That's what having kids does to ya! Crazy children!

So let's talk about the so-called "LDS Millionaire" that has cast a pall of love and intensity over Utah. Brought to you by the fools that started "The Mormon Bachelorette" and later sold out to The LDS Matchmaker, this Mormon Millionaire stuff involved a bunch of poor women showing up to an empty red carpet at a random country club, then being presented with a PowerPoint presentation and a creepy silhouette of said millionaire.

Who is this man? We may never know. Is he a single millionaire? Multi-millionaire? What are his assets? What are these "millionaire dates" of which they speak? The fine folks at The Beehive have a killer rundown of the entire, stupid affair.

Of course, the Church now kindly asks that the limos park off site.

VidAngel. We love what VidAngel does, but there's no denying that its previous business model was legally suspect. A judge ruled as such in the spring, and now a jury has handed down a hefty fine - over $62 million - to the plucky streaming startup. Is this the end?
