Above all, Utah is known for two things: nature and Mormons. There’s no shortage of either in this week’s episode. To kick us off, Shauna explores some natural wonders of Utah, explains why the state is practically run by the LDS Church, and shares some TMI about Mormon underwear.

Then, Taylor regales us with the legend of Montezuma’s Cursed Treasure — a stockpile of gold that has supposedly been hidden somewhere in Utah for the past 500 years. Get ready to go treasure hunting with a quirky cast of characters — including a geologist with a treasure map, some $50,000 snails, and a fella named Lon (who is probably a great dude, so we’re sorry for coming up with a conspiracy theory that involves him being a psycho killer).

This is a weird one, but honestly, what else would you expect from us at this point?
