Hi, this is Lindsay from the Year of Polygamy podcast. If this is your first time tuning in,

I would just like to remind you that this podcast is meant to go in order. So start all the way back

at episode one and work your way through if possible. The podcast is meant to tell a story,

and you get a lot more context when you listen from the beginning. We hope that you're enjoying

the podcast. If you are, you can make a donation

at Yourphilgamy podcast.

I'm your host Lindsay and today I'm interviewing a good friend of mine who, you know what, I keep doing this.

I keep saying like it's the most interesting, unique story you've ever heard and then I find someone with who's even more unique and more interesting. Tom Bennett,

you are one of those people who has a very, very interesting story, and I don't want to say

it's the most interesting story I've ever heard, because who knows, who knows what the future

brings. But you definitely have a very interesting story.

Can you say hello?

Hi, it's nice to be on here with you.

I listen to the podcast, so I know what you mean.

You do have a lot of interesting people on, and the stories are all fascinating.

But I'm glad to be on.

I think your story is going to be interesting for people because you're not really Mormon.

You're not really Mormon fundamentalists. You're not really polygamist. But you're also all of those things.

So I'm not quite sure. How, if you were to give us like a one sentence byline, what would you say about yourself?

Well, you know, when we were at the Sunstone at Warren Jeff's house, you called on me to introduce myself, and I just kind of said

that I am a Baptist, Mormon, Mormon fundamentalist, Buddhist, Satanist, occultist.

Well, there you go.
