Chapter 1: What are the latest Mormon true crime stories?

3143.717 - 3149.638 Unknown Speaker 3

Oh, wow. Oh, no. But they're, like, conflicted because they think they're saving the world's children.

0

3149.699 - 3153.92 Unknown Speaker 3

Well, they got told that. Yes. Yeah, and if you say no to this man, you're a bad person.

0

3154.02 - 3166.783 Ed Larson

Well, it's not even just that you're a bad person. It's that you're putting the whole mission in danger. Yes, you're... What's it called? You're compromising the mission. Yeah, because you won't take the slippery salami. You won't lay there while he rubs his denim pant legged on you.

0

3166.943 - 3184.613 Unknown Speaker 3

And when they would push back and say no, he would freak out on them and be like... Because of this, that kid's going to die. And so after a while, a bunch of them went, wait a second, I feel like something's wrong here. And eventually they started a lawsuit against him. And it was only at that point the church excommunicated him.

0

3184.693 - 3188.475 Unknown Speaker 3

But the church, there's a bunch of heads of church who knew what he was doing.

3188.515 - 3188.976 Ed Larson

Oh, definitely.

3188.996 - 3189.556 Unknown Speaker 3

Let it happen.

3190.076 - 3193.038 Ed Larson

Because they thought that he was going to be president of the United States of America.

3193.058 - 3201.364 Unknown Speaker 3

And also the next prophet. So all that to say, Tim Ballard is connected to Lori Vallow and Chad Daybell and is connected to Jodi Hildebrand.

Chapter 4: How does the LDS culture influence behavior?

3504.02 - 3510.022 Unknown Speaker 3

We drove by one going to Southern California, and I was like, what is that? And it took me a second to be like, oh, that's the Mormon temple.

0

3510.262 - 3513.523 Henry Zebrowski

So you like the architecture. I don't mind it.

0

3513.723 - 3520.645 Ed Larson

It's just one of those things that I just, again, I just feel like one solid neutron bomb will really make that place a nice place.

0

3520.945 - 3545.17 Ed Larson

it's spot like i'd like to be in that place i want to i think that we could knock out a bunch of those walls i think we could put a great pool in there i think that we could have a great rooftop bar like that's what i want is that rooftop bar right there i think that we could put a roller coaster like they did on new york new york yes on the top of it i think some of these were not supposed to be able to see but of course the internet made it so this is the only thing i will agree with on trump is that if trump could buy them i want that into a trump tower

0

3546.01 - 3554.654 Ed Larson

That is what needs to be a Trump Tower. If I could get that and the Vatican being a Trump Tower, I'm actually pro him.

3554.934 - 3568.06 Unknown Speaker 3

Oh, the Vatican. People are always asking if humanity was existent, stopped happening, what would you do if you're walking around? I would get on a boat. I'd go to Europe. I'd find the Vatican, walk around. Yeah, that's it. Yeah, first and foremost.

3568.82 - 3591.808 Henry Zebrowski

I got a brighter side for Mormonism. Are you ready for this? Sure. When I used to go to spring break in Panama City every year when I was in college, they would often host free pancake breakfasts. And I would get free pancakes every morning thanks to the Mormons. And then they come and they talk to you and, you know, you're so drunk you can't really pay attention. So I thank the Mormons. Yeah.

3592.068 - 3607.179 Henry Zebrowski

for the pancakes every morning to soak up the booze from the night before. Literally, until we started doing Chad Daybell and Lori Vallow, I was like, Mormons, pancakes! That's what I thought of them.

3607.319 - 3611.903 Natalie Jean

The most insidious indoctrination of all. Wow, it worked on him.
