Tom, Jake, Chelsea, Bob, and Glenn talk to Doug about his listener essay: “Nostalgia for Bloomington” and go on all kinds of interesting (just for the sake of self-congratulations let’s just go with “interesting”) tangents.  Like:

  • how to tell the difference between culture and “DEEP” doctrine (if there really is such a thing),
  • how to predict who in your family will go inactive first simply by their age and/or birth order,
  • how to compare your mormon experience to life in a college town,
  • how to tell the difference between a liberal mormon and a Mormon Liberal,
  • how to make important life-decisions once your Jiminy Cricket-shaped Holy-ghost-powered Liahona has fallen out of your back pocket,
  • how to hear a Tom-sigh when Tom is sighing only on mute
