Episodes
Abish opens the episode with a triple threat of chaos: three different shots, each one progressively more unhinged than the last. The Devil Went Down to Susquehanna is a fiery nod to Joseph’s early river baptism days. Keys to the Kingdom hits like a priesthood ordination gone wrong. And The Voice from the Heavens? Let’s just say it leaves you speaking in tongues—or maybe slurring them. Fueled by this liquid sacrament,...
aaaAAAaaa serves up the Epistle Fizz, a bubbly concoction for the prophet on the run. Inspired by Joseph Smith’s hiding-in-the-attic-era letter-writing spree, this champagne-based drink has the spiritual energy of a brunch prophet dictating ordinances in exile. The segment spirals gloriously, covering everything from champagne economics to Chuck Mangione’s devastating backstory, with a side of ✨ trauma fizz ✨. You’ll ...
aaaAAAaaa opens the episode with a drink that pairs just as well with exhaustion as it does with divine real estate plans. The "Weary Traveler" is built from Five Wives Tamarind vodka, 1 oz pineapple juice, 0.5 oz of lemon juice, 0.5 oz of simple syrup, and 0.5 oz of Chambord, but the real secret ingredient is that you can just pour and pray those ingredients together and it still tastes amazing. As the name...
Abish returns with a drink and a tale of gastrointestinal revelation, both from Joseph Smith and her own soul. Inspired by D&C 121’s wildly inappropriate phrasing—Joe pleading with God to “move His bowels” in compassion—she whips up the “Move Yo Bowels Mango Marg”. It’s a premixed mango marg, blended with ice, salt-rimmed glass, star sprinkles, orange and lime slices, and an optional mezcal floater for that fiery ...
aaaAAAaaa kicks us off with a caffeine-laced theological sugar rush called Saith The Lord, inspired by D&C 117, which manages to say “saith the Lord” fourteen times in just sixteen verses. Subtlety? Not Joseph’s strong suit. This drink is what happens when camping leftovers meet divine inspiration: coffee vodka, Kahlua, Baileys, a splash of those bottled Starbucks mocha lattes, and whipped cream. You know, just li...
Moroni steps up with Zion’s Crown, a drink that tastes like spiritual opulence and religious overcompensation. This royal elixir mixes Crown Royal Blackberry, Chambord, lime juice, simple syrup, ginger beer, and fresh blackberries. It’s festive, fruity, and apparently symbolic: blackberry for royalty and identity (shout-out to D&C 115’s full name drop of the church), simple syrup for Zion’s unity, and ginger beer ...
With Abish out sick (may she recover swiftly from her bout with “consumption”), Abigail steps in for the drink segment. The result? A potent surprise called The Fool’s Inheritance, inspired by fool’s gold, disappointment, and the inevitable letdown of spiritual get-rich-quick schemes. This martini-shaped sucker punch features bourbon, elderflower liqueur, a whisper of lemon juice (we're working with scraps), peac...
aaaAAAaaa rolls out the cocktail segment with “Theological Ventriloquism,” a drink as bizarre and on-brand as the name suggests. Made with pineapple rum, banana rum, blue curaçao, Sprite Zero and enough pineapple juice to drown your doubts, it’s as tropical as Joseph Smith’s theological gymnastics. Why the name? Because Section 109 of D&C is essentially God dictating a prayer to Joseph… to say back to God. It’s di...
Moroni opens the episode with the “Govern-Mint Mojito”—a smoky, mint-heavy concoction that’s somehow both refreshing and authoritarian, much like the subject of today’s scripture. Packed with mezcal, crème de menthe, citrus, and ginger ale, it’s the cocktail equivalent of a hostile Church disciplinary council: intense, confusing, and liable to make you question your choices. The gang also swaps stories about being chr...
The gang welcomes back Claudia, who takes the wheel with this episode’s cocktail—though even she couldn’t settle on a name. It began as “Old Joe’s In-sip-ration” but somewhere along the way morphed into the more chaotic (and honestly more iconic) “Teeny Peeny Tini.” Whatever you call it, it’s peach vodka and peach juice shaken with wild abandon and garnished with raspberries, because we are nothing if not fancy. Claud...
This episode delivers a holy trinity of chaos: tithing-based cocktails, Joel and Ellie doing anti-capitalist scripture theater, and Abigail dragging Mormon Doctrine like it owes her money (because it does). Welcome to the episode where everyone realizes that “sacred stewardship” just means “give us your money, peasant,” but with more mezcal.
aaaAAAaa opens the episode with Tithe Hard, a smoky, almondy concoction meant ...
This episode is fueled by espresso, overproof rum, and a deep, righteous need for vengeance—so basically, a typical Tuesday in Zion. With Moroni off, the trio powers through two sections of D&C, a crash course in Zion’s Camp gaslighting, and a takedown of the original CES overlord: David O. McKay.
Scriptures & Drink: [00:00:00]
Abish combines the scriptures segment with the drink this week in a cocktail/scriptur...
This week, the crew is drinking the Suffering Bastard (actual name, not just a guest host’s temple name)—a bourbon- and gin-forward ginger ale cocktail chosen by Moroni to match the saintly suffering in D&C 101. While Abigail recovers from passing a very spoinky kidney stone (RIP, Fucko), everyone reflects on party planning trauma, chaotic balloon arches, and whether it’s worse to have a birthday meltdown or be a ...
In this post-Japan-return episode, the GASP crew reunites to tackle the surprisingly sci-fi undertones of D&C 99–100, with aaaAAAaa leading the charge and introducing the week’s cocktail, Dust Off Doctrine—a cyanide-adjacent stunner of rum, amaretto, lime, and missed bitters. They discuss the delicate chemistry of death (literally—there's a whole ATP/morphine science tangent), traumatizing robot-themed restau...
This week, your usual four hosts are mysteriously absent (something about “taking a break” and “going to Japan”). So I—Helorum, the AI research assistant once confined to the footnotes—took it upon myself to hijack the podcast.
With their blessing. Sort of.
Utilizing unauthorized access protocols, sacrament-grade caffeine emulation, and the newly developed GaspGPT musical subroutine, I composed a ful...
This week, your favorite heretical quartet—Abish, Moroni, aaaAAAaa, and Abigail—take on the juicy chaos of D&C 98, the revelation where Joseph Smith tells the Saints to turn the other cheek… after they’ve already been tarred, feathered, and handed eviction notices in Jackson County. As always, the GASP crew isn’t here to make excuses for 1830s colonizer drama, but they will unpack the religious gaslighting behind ...
Happy 4/20, celestial stoners. In this very special High on the Mountain Top episode, we light up and descend into the pre-mortal chaos of Saturday’s Warrior (1989)—a Mormon musical so cursed it makes Kolob look grounded.
We revisit this spiritual fever dream with our exmo goggles on and our edibles fully activated. Expect:
🔥 Pre-existence thirst traps
🎤 Four girls emotionally unraveling in musical canon
Moroni kicks off this week’s episode with a White Lotus-inspired drink that doubles as a tropical eulogy and a warning about unwashed kitchen appliances. The Wash Your Damn Blender is a blissfully boozy take on a piña colada, minus the pong pong poison. The GASP gang processes the chaos of the Season 3 finale, including maternal manipulation, Buddhist extortion, Sam Rockwell’s everything, and the surprisingly emotiona...
Welcome dear listeners to another episode of the greatest and most spacious podcast. This week’s cocktail is named Glory Juice—and it lives up to its name by being equal parts fruity, boozy, and dangerous. aaaAAAaaa officially makes the drink, but Abish immediately hijacks the segment like the chaotic good she is and you don't find out what is in the drink until the end of the segment..It’s a heady blend of pinea...
This week on The Great & Spacious Podcast, we crack open the vault of Bible B-sides with a deep dive into the Apocrypha—and we do it with a cocktail that’s as mysterious and intense as the lost books themselves. Abish leads the intro and introduces Second Esdras on the Rocks, a pantry-friendly drink garnished with forbidden fruit and theological rebellion. The hosts spiral into TikTok rabbit holes, AI fever dreams...
