Message: “The Thanksgiving Episode”

The StoryMen take some time to reflect on what they’re grateful for. The conversation turns to Thanksgiving traditions – real and made up. Then, since we’re talking about founding myths, we investigate recent admissions by the Mormon church that Joseph Smith was in fact a polygamist. Finally, we engage the conversation about the “Stand and Greet” time many churches employ, but many people hate. Plus, we introduce our Pop Culture Picks of the Week!
