Mormons, Bears, and Mrs. Daybreak: A Comic Tale (AUDIO)

Vibing The Apocalypse

Comedy, Controversy, and Apocalyptic Insights with Ben and Amanda

In this episode, Ben and Amanda dive into Ben's journey to recording his upcoming comedy special. He shares the challenges and controversies from his previous shows, particularly the backlash he faced from the Daybreak community over his comedic material about growing up in a Mormon polygamous compound. They discuss the dynamics of perfecting comedy material, with Ben excitedly announcing his special at Wise Guys on July 26th and 27th. The conversation also explores Amanda's personal battles and apocalyptic themes, including her experiences with trauma, the loss of her mother, and surviving multiple 'personal apocalypses.' The duo reflects on societal and environmental issues, offering satirical takes on current events and a poignant critique of modern civilization's impact on the environment. Additionally, they bond over shared Mormon backgrounds, engaging in discussions on community resilience, gardening, and innovative uses for religious spaces. Amid the deep conversations, there's a humorous proposal from a 'seer stone' on how to repurpose abandoned Mormon temples for community and inclusive activities. The episode wraps up with insights on the evolving landscape of comedy and the importance of creating meaningful connections and spaces in times of crisis.
