Mormonism—a wholesome faith or something much darker?
In this jaw-dropping episode of The Rise of Basic Men, the guys dive deep into the origins, conspiracies, and hidden history of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From Joseph Smith’s bizarre “visions” to underground vaults, CIA connections, and blood oaths, this is not the version of Mormonism they teach in Sunday school.

🔍 Highlights Include:
- Joseph Smith: Prophet or Master Con Artist? His early fraud schemes and how he manipulated an entire religion into existence.
