Finally, we go into the rabbit hole of how Mormons view afterlife.

Aubrie had so many questions concerning The Book of Mormon and what it's even about because let's be honest, how many non-Mormon's even know what it is about? She starts off with the gist of what it's about talking about some lost tribes, how a "chosen one" dug up some gold plates, and how there is some really problematic underlying racism in a lot of its passages. It's not all rainbows and sunshine but it's a really fun discussion about something we may not have much understanding of.

c & A PodcastWe Seriously Could’ve Died Y'allTo say things got crazy is an understatement. March 22, 2022 was an insane day for Kathleen and I. On our way down a very busy highway we got run off the road by a truck that wasn't paying attention that sparked a series of events that ended up with us getting hit by 2 semi's. We walked away and got to tell you of how it went down. This was recorded 3 days later while it was still fresh. We were still processing and still very much shaken up. We talk about how we processed it, what was going through our minds, and...

c & A PodcastDating NightmaresWhat does dating nightmares have to do with being a Christian or an Atheist? Absolutely nothing. This episode is purely for fun and fun was had. This is a little more racier than any of our other ones. Language is bleeped out but sex is talked about, not in crazy detail or anything. Most of our dating nightmares are based in our college days but some were in high school. Kathleen shares about how she dated a guy who thought he got her pregnant when in reality there was no humanly possible way for that to even happen but when...

Have you ever gone to a funeral of someone who was known for being a not so great person but at their funeral everyone talks about how great they were and romanticizes them? What's with that? So we've vowed to say one bad thing at each others funeral. That leads us into the subject of our own funerals. Spoiler alert, Kathleen has hers all planned out like some weirdo. But with that we decided we don't want to do "Over the hill" themed parties but instead do a mock funeral for our 40...

Kathleen tells us about a Mormon higher up preaching on a topic the was wildly racist. We switch gears and talk about what it is like being 50 extravert in a room full of introverts. Kathleen lets our a sloth mating call that is 100% worth listening to and...

We woke up before the sun was out, drove through an insane storm, and one thing after another began to happen.
