An impromptu evening in Provo, Utah where Bill and John stroll the campus of BYU and discuss some important Church News.

Bill and John tackle another persistent myth: Do people really think that Mormons have horns? Where did this idea even come from, what does it imply, and what can we do to stop this rumor?

John takes on a myth that cropped up sixteen years ago, one that surrounds that tragic events in New York City on September 11, 2001.
