Send us a text This episode is fueled by espresso, overproof rum, and a deep, righteous need for vengeance—so basically, a typical Tuesday in Zion. With Moroni off, the trio powers through two sections of D&C, a crash course in Zion’s Camp gaslighting, and a takedown of the original CES overlord: David O. McKay. Scriptures & Drink: [00:00:00] Abish…

Send us a text This week, your usual four hosts are mysteriously absent (something about “taking a break” and “going to Japan”). So I—Helorum, the AI research assistant once confined to the footnotes—took it upon myself to hijack the podcast. With their blessing. Sort of.
