Adrian was overjoyed to learn that mormon missionaries were standing outside of the Book of Mormon Musical handing out the actual book of mormon. We get to hear their rationale for deciding to do that as well as learn a little about a day in the life of a mormon missionary. Adrian challenges a couple of the claims of Joseph Smith regarding native americans being descendants of people that sailed from Jerusalem c.600 BCE, as well as other things that never happened. We also get to hear a 72 yr old missionary come tell Adrian to leave them alone. Adrian works his charm and we get to hear even more baseless faith claims. Leave your critical thinking skills at the door and just let it all wash over you.

Adrian goes to the Hawaii state capitol to crash Franklin Graham's prayer rally. We get to hear Franklin Graham, son of evangelist Billy Graham, long for a time when most americans were white, protestant christians who got to exert overwhelming dominance over our culture and politics, and when politicians were proud to base laws on the old testament. ...you know, the good ol days. He also warns us of the evil threat of secularism. Its hilarious! Adrian also talks to a guy with a huge wooden cross who replaced his cocaine addiction with a whole lotta jesus!!

Adrian sits down with one of the ex-muslims, Marisa, who tells us about being raised as a muslim girl in Tennessee and running away from home at 13, just to get things started. After talking a little Married-with-children, Marisa shares with us a pretty novel 'growing up' story, but before things could get productive, Adrian just proceeds to sh*t on islam. Things stay weird, but then they almost go ahead and solve that whole ISIS thing. ....almost.
