This week's theme seems to be man parts for some reason. Weird. We also recap general conference, make fun of sky daddy once again, and Sister Fanny Fact Check pays us a visit. Welcome back, sister!

Today, Kimberly joins Mary for a fascinating discussion about Narcissistic Personality Disorder or NPD. We get sidetracked a bit (who, us?) with a tangent about animated Christmas specials, but Kimberly quickly figures out a way to relate it to the topic at hand. Thanks Kimberly! And don't worry folks, we don't actually get coked up in the beginning (turns out allergy season is also no joke).

This week we check out some random Bible versus and discover how truly kind and loving Sky Dad is. And by kind and loving we mean vengeful and petty. So that's a neat li'l treat. Speaking of dads...Shelly unpacks some hard realizations about hers. Oh, and Pirate God reads from the Book of Mormon. We want to thank a listener, Paige, for providing that fun idea.

We also want to give a shout out to our new coffee sponsor, Mahogany Queen Coffee Co with their new LDL "After Dark" blend. To find out more just cut/paste this link into a browser: https://latterdaylesbian.org/coffee, or head to our website and click the coffee tab. Thanks!

A heads up - we discuss sexual themes in today's episode that features an interview with Craig Call, the bisexual grandson of Richard G. Scott. Find out what it's like to grow up with a member of the Quorum of the Twelve. We also discover Craig's love for languages, his interest in pornography and consensual non monogamy. Possibly not what grandpa had in mind. Welcome Craig!

Welcome to our first-ever "roadcast." We decided to record this one heading back from Mary's Mom's place in Norfolk, VA. Listen to find out if Mary misses her exit or if Shelly passes out from holding her breath in the Hampton Roads tunnel. There's also a riveting story involving an Arby's milkshake, a "he said what," plus Pirate God makes an appearance. Enjoy!

This week we hear from 3 NeverMos who describe their own struggle with leaving religion and coming to terms with their sexuality. Turns out Mormons don't have exclusive ownership of that process. We want to thank Andrea (Annie), Kelsey and Libbie for bravely sharing their stories. And if you would like to send us a letter please visit www.latterdaylesbian.org/contact. Thank you!

When you listen to this week's episode you'll find out just what her theory is (it may or may not have something to do with shit). Today we talk codependency, and if you were raised in a high-demand religion, you might be inclined to "put a finger down" at some point during this conversation (that will also make more sense when you listen). We're getting into it today, so please join us!
