| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of Mormon stories podcast. I'm your host, |
| 0:03.7 | John DeLinn. It is November 25th, 2025, and we're here for it. We're here for season three |
| 0:11.0 | of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives being shown on Hulu. For those who have been living in a cave |
