Ironically, Pat defended it and did a pretty good job of saying Austin explained the whole thing to him on a flight about how the church used it to support widowed women as they moved across the plains.
Then someone on the saw asked about the Golden Plate and Pat again said he wasn't knowledgeable enough to talk about them and explain. But just said you are talking about the ones found in upstate NY right?
I was surprised how he handled it because as others have expressed he has a history of trying to not shut up about these things.
Which makes the obsession with soaking so weird.
