You're still white. You're still white. Yeah, I'm still a white man. So that's still pretty, honestly, pretty great for me. And today we're doing a full guest episode because I met this person through Natalie as they were doing someplace underneath. They are an expert because they were deeply involved in the Mormon church. They got themselves out of the Mormon church. She went and wrote a book called How to Leave the Mormon Church. which is one of the, it's a great manual for helping people, because what she realized, this influencer, I'd say influencer, presenter, she has a YouTube channel, Alyssa Grenfell, but she realized that Mormons were coming out of the church and being dropped into this modern world with no guide at all.
So that's why she wrote this, to help people get out of the Mormon church. We talked with her about a bunch of the secrets. She brought some Mormon underwear in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't know it was a thing. Man, it's kind of sexy. What do you mean it's sexy? If you get all wet.
Oh, yes, because it's white. Then you get to see through it.
We go through all of this. The audience is going to love how sexual the conversation gets. I do. I tried some of it. You're going to see. I don't want to spoil it. Yeah. She is Alyssa D. Grenfell on TikTok. That's A-L-Y-S-S-A-D-G-R-E-N-F-E-L-L. That's where she prints her stuff. She's also on YouTube. That's right.
How to leave the Mormon church is way more difficult than just follow the sign that says exit. Yeah, because guess what? They cover the signs.
Yeah. They do. You can't get out. So please listen to our long-form interview of Alyssa Grenfell. You're going to enjoy this. You're fucking better. Right from your grave. Oh, we're rolling. Oh, great. Okay. Well, we have a very special guest today. Somebody that is like truly in the world of... In the world of religions, there's not a room for talkback. They don't want you to do it. They don't want you to do it. And I find it interesting that of all the religions, besides Scientology, if you want to call it that, that has such a deep core of people willing to talk about the church, it is the Mormon people. Like, especially after the fact, even from within it, as we were just talking. And what we have today is a truly very, very smart lady.
