Description

If the little angel and devil from your shoulders ever hung out without you and made a podcast, this is probably what it would sound like. Equal parts wholesome and horrific, Mormon and the Meth-head is about one unlikely friendship. Jessa and Aaron have led two completely different lives. While Aaron was stopping strangers on the streets of Milan to teach them about Joseph Smith, Jessa was teaching dudes how to keister meth while blowing them in Arby's bathrooms across Portland. But as Aaron lets go of his strict Mormon lifestyle and begins his descent into the depravity of the secular world, Jessa acts as his ferryman, telling him about disgusting, hedonistic things he never could have imagined, like "butt stuff" and "coffee." And Aaron returns the favor, helping Jessa navigate new and foreign social situations like "accepting hugs from loved ones" and "having loved ones." In their respective routines, they each tackle the topics of love, sex, drugs, and alcohol, but with polar opposite perspectives. Audiences get to see their world through Aaron's naive, innocent eyes as well as through Jessa's bleary, bloodshot ones.

I love the closed fist vs open hand analogy. Love doesn't have expectations. Love doesn't demand promises. Love is a choice we make every day.

Hi! I am a 28 year old ex-mormon. I 'let go the iron rod' almost 8 years ago now and still struggle with guilt. I am a female who was raised in the church and my personal experience was that we were told we ARE the porn and that if we weren't careful we would cause young men to sin. We were also programmed to submit to the patriarch and the only job acceptable for us was the conceiving and bringing forth of children, which was painful due to Eve. Freeing myself from that mindset and then the following guilt of being a whore (instead of just experierencing normal drives and desires) took a lot of time and mindfulness. I was driven to comment today because I read a post of a Mormon mom seeking help for her husband's 'porn addiction' and just couldn't help but giggle at how bad I feel for this dude. Love the podcast guys!!

Love this episode! Lord, that sounds generic- seriously though THIS episode, touched my soul... The raw honesty & authentic emotion you’ve both shared throughout the last year are beyond ANYTHING I’ve heard outside of privately held conversation between a handful of friends & myself! Your uncanny ability to share your genuine “awakening”- growth, journey (collectively) is witty & refreshing. It’s rare individuals who can bare their innermost pain (on a deep real level) k have a comedic timing bringing about guttural laughs while tears are streaming ..... Your strength (Erin & Jessa) came into my orbit at a time in my personal journey I needed reminding ( MY happiness, healing & life trajectory) are 100% in ones control. Thank you, on so many levels- THANK YOU💕👑👍 Lastly- there is a poem I shared during nursing school graduation a decade ago- it randomly came to memory regarding you both while listening to this year end close: Marianne Williamson “Our Deepest Fear”
