Mike and John correctly guessed within mere minutes of each other (according to their phone messages) the answer to contest #2.  David Neeleman was the famous Mormon referenced by the following two clues:

  1. “This well-known LDS executive is a high flyer in the business world.”

  2. “This famous Mormon has 9 children and served his mission in South America.”


Both Mike and John submitted the winning answer after the first clue! Great job, guys!

In recognition of their astute knowledge of famous Mormons, they will each win an autographed copy of Clayton Pixton’s new CD, Hymns Anew. Enjoy!

The Church president died at his apartment in downtown Salt Lake City at 7:00 p.m. Sunday [January 27] night from causes incident to age. Members of his family were at his bedside.

Goodbye President Hinckley. Your example, wisdom, and wit will be missed.

Brother Mitchell had to get some special parts for the microphones (I’m clueless about all that stuff, of course) so we should be good to go when we record this week.

So please bear with us just a little bit longer and we promise a great episode.

BTW, if you’re wondering what the topic is for the next episode … it’s us. That’s right, you’ll have the honor of hearing us talk about who we are—the obligatory biography episode.

Thanks for sticking with us through this intermission!

Brother Sean

Love the podcast….but when is the next one coming out???

Well Steven, we’re glad you asked. You may all think we fell off the globe, but the truth is we simply needed a short hiatus. One of the brethren moved, a couple of others have been traveling, and me, well been busy with other things. We are ironing out some technical issues so Brother Sean can join us from his new locale, and are feverishly working on our “Mormon Urban Legends” episode.

So stay tuned, we’ll be right back!

Is Brigham Young’s hearse sitting in front of the Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland. Was Steve Martin really seen wearing a CTR ring in an interview, and was he secretly baptized a member of the Mormon church? Is Sasquatch really Adam’s son Cain?

These are just a few of the many Mormon urban legends that we hear from time to time. Are any of them true? Where do they originate? Inquiring minds want to know!

Send us your favorite Mormon myth or urban legend and we will attempt to verify or debunk it on an upcoming episode.

The Myth Busters at Mormon Potluck are on the case!

It should be a lot of fun and a lot more structured.

So far we’ve had almost 30 downloads of the show! We hope everyone has enjoyed the “meal” thus far.

Our next serving will have more “meat” and maybe even some dessert. Prepare to be surprised.

So, stay tuned! The Mormon Potluck continues …

]]> http://www.mormonpotluck.com/2007/06/21/a-second-serving/feed/ 2 It’s in the can! http://www.mormonpotluck.com/2007/06/14/its-in-the-can/ http://www.mormonpotluck.com/2007/06/14/its-in-the-can/#comments Fri, 15 Jun 2007 06:54:22 +0000 BrotherSean http://www.mormonpotluck.com/blog/2007/06/14/its-in-the-can/ Well, the first official Mormon Potluck Podcast is in the can and will be showing up on this site shortly. We are excited to be able to do this. And maybe it will give folks a glimpse into the lives of four regular guys who happen to be Mormon. And I know we each had a lot of fun doing it.

The next podcast will show up (hopefully!) in two weeks, so sign up for the feed and we’ll keep ‘em comin’!

Send your comments and suggestions to feedback@mormonpotluck.com.

Thanks for listening!

¡Hasta!
