Summary
Today we are excited to sit down with legend, John Larsen. After ending his wildly popular Mormon Expression podcast, having John in studio is an honor as we steep in his humor and knowledge. We hit on some of our favorite important topics like the “curse of Cain'' while also bouncing around in the absurdity of Big Foot.
You will laugh, you might cry, but you will absolutely not be disappointed in this episode!

| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast. I'm your host John |
| 0:03.6 | Delin. It is July 9th, 2021 and we are thrilled to have back in our studio today the original |
| 0:12.0 | John, the John Larson host of Mormon expression podcasts, legend and all around good guy. John |
| 0:19.3 | Larson, welcome back. John, it's always a pleasure to be here. For those who don't know, there was a time |
| 0:25.5 | when Mormon Stories podcast had retired for the third time and I was trying to get into a P.C. |
| 0:30.9 | program in Utah and I had to play to BYU. So I shut down Mormon Stories podcast to apply to BYU |
| 0:36.3 | and during that time there was such a vacuum. John Larson stepped in with his band of friends and |
| 0:43.4 | started this amazing podcast called Mormon expression that to this day is legendary especially, |
| 0:48.3 | well too many episodes to mention, but of course the how to build a trans-oceanic vessel episode |

| 1:35.4 | really watched friends so the reunion didn't really spark me very much, but the 32-year-old woman in |
| 1:40.8 | the room sure did. Wait, who are you? Hi, I'm Kara Braille. I go by nuanced sometimes. I'm the |
| 1:46.6 | chiming in because I'm extremely excited for this episode. Yeah, so when when John came back, |

| 1:56.8 | you're welcome and you pick the topics. So that's what we're going to be doing today. I'm going to |
