0:24.4	the podcast. I'm Frank Feldman and I'm Dan Beecher and coming up on the show today, Dan. Oh my
0:32.4	God, it's Mormon schism part two unplanned. Yeah, well, we did the more the Mormon churches like
0:41.1	they were alienated one group and now they've gone and alienated another group. I'm going to talk
0:46.3	about it. Shots fired. Literal muskets shots have been fired and fired and lots of people are
0:56.4	very upset right now. It's unbelievable. The world of Mormonism is exploding. Yeah, the skis

2:46.4	in Africa who decides to do a stunt. Yeah, horrible things are about to happen. Well, this one,
2:55.1	he promised a resurrection. Yeah, of course he did. Of himself. What? Another after three days.
