Welcome to Questions from the Closets. I'm Ben Shaladdy and I'm Charlie Bird.

Each episode we discuss a question that we commonly get asked as LGBT Q Latter-day Saints.

We are not trying to answer this question or come to a consensus but simply sharing our

perspectives. Today's question is how do I reconcile my patriarchal blessing?

So Ben and I are not terribly diverse,

and we share many opinions and life experiences.

For example, both of us love smoothies,

and Jamba Juice is our favorite place to get one.

However, there are some pretty big differences.

For example, Charlie's Go To Orders, apples and greens,

and I always get Mega Mango.

And I got to say, when I lived in Bellevue, Washington,

when I was teaching middle school there 10 years ago,

I would drive by two Jamba juices on my way home.

And I would often have the strength to not stop with the first one.

And then I would stop the second one.

I got like three

Jamba juices every week. Well and especially if it's thirsty Thursday what can you do?

I know. Charlie what size do you usually get? I usually go medium but I've been

known to do the large. You know I also like the the

orange carrot karma. Okay that's pretty good. So I did not like that one I have a friend

when I was living in Tucson and she loved it when we would go to jambajus together regularly and so she told me I had to try it.
