Summary

We start the episode as we usually do by ranking hells. Mormon hell is obviously the best, then Jehovah’s Witness hell and Catholic purgatory. Gerrit has been upfront with his anti-camping agenda but extends his feelings about camping to Trek. We discuss Samuel Brannan, head of the Church in the Eastern U.S., telling Brigham Young that the Secretary of War is saying that the saints need to be obliterated. We also talk about Manifest Destiny and Gerrit says that this time in history Mormons are the American can opener, rarely used but hugely useful.

0:50.7	setting the table. I feel like this is a veiled criticism. No, no, no, no, no. It's important to have the context.
0:55.7	It's not very at all?
0:55.7	And we're, yeah.
0:57.0	Actually, I don't think, actually, I don't think we will get to the Mormon

1:16.8	But so this email comes to us from Brad.
