    This show only survives with Matt and Melissa as hosts. The day they leave the show will be the day I stop listening.

    Nice to get updates in news and pop culture but the amount of conjecture and terrible takes from the hosts is too much to give this show a glowing rating.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

9/4 – The “Go Cougars” Episode
Q: Tell us about you. Where are you from and how did this calling come to be?
Tony describes his move to Billings, Montana, the interview with the state president that encouraged consistency for the kids, and how he began creating content tying gym culture to scripture, ultimately becoming the World's Strongest Seminary Teacher.
1/3 – Farewell Elder Holland
Q: If I am a man and I want to buy the slip garment, is that forbidden in some way?
It is an interesting question and opinions on it can vary. Some might say it's acceptable if it fits individual needs.
11/8 – The Frenchman Apostle
Q: What is the best argument against the church, according to your perspective?
The best argument against the church typically involves criticisms related to the Book of Abraham or Book of Mormon archaeology, which often lack comprehensive discussion on the broader historical and theological context.
The Impact of the Church Educational System | John Wilson
Q: Do they have to know English to do BYU Pathway?
Currently they do, but Portuguese is the first non-English language that they've been approved for, starting this fall.
The Impact of the Church Educational System | John Wilson
Q: Why would I choose BYU Pathway over trying to come to BYU, Idaho and Rexburg?
There's just the limited space at traditional universities, and BYU Pathway offers access to accredited educational courses that many young adults of the church may not have otherwise.
