We had fun with this one thanks to our guest host, Scott. Scott works as a therapist and brought a great perspective and intelligence that is normally missing from our yammering. We didn't realize it until later that we recorded a great conversation about the personality and behaviors of Nephi that morphed into a chat about the personality and behaviors of the author, Joseph Smith. We solve the border dispute in the Holy Land in the most reductive way possible, which will obviously persuade everyone and offend no one. We are swept up by Nephi's grandiose proclamations and realize he has to be running a cult because nobody could get away with what he says otherwise. And we realize that when we really sit with the material it gets better e.g. funnier and more listenable.
