| What kind of food storage is lurking in your pantry? Flour? Powdered milk? A 5-gallon bucket of crusty old sugar? Or maybe even... a black mystery jelly canned by your grandmother in 1942?

Today, Sophia and Stella spill the dried beans on food storage. First, we'll share some crazy stories from our listeners, covering topics like Armageddon backpack drills and what to do when you inherit way too much wheat.

Then, we'll dive into the origins of food storage. Why was it such a big deal in the 70s and 80s? And has food storage rhetoric really died down in the decades since?

If you stick around until the end, you might just hear how Stella saved our family's food storage in an unconventional and, well, unappetizing way.

| What do Marilyn Monroe, Gandhi, Steve Irwin, and Marie Antoinette have in common? They were all baptized by proxy in LDS temples! 😮

Today, we're talking all things Family History! We’ll share tips on how to be the best "baptizee" in the temple font, the truth behind the Church’s (literally) nuke-proof records vault, and the inevitable issues that arise when people decide to go rogue on Family Search. Plus, Sophia faces the impossible task of choosing which terrible names from our real family tree she would give to her hypothetical children.
