Format & Synopsis
Mormon Talk usually airs on Monday nights at 8PM MT, with Carson and Brett usually airing from what appears to be one of their homes in Lehi, UT. The show usually runs for a little over two hours. Regular episodes (not including special episodes such as Talent Talk, General Conference specials, or holiday specials) usually follow the same format: Carson and Brett field anonymous "family-friendly" calls from people around the world that often pertain to (a) the doctrine of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, (b) Carson's book, Window To His Love, or (c) other various topics that have been chosen by the hosts.

Rules
Mormon Talk had a number of standing rules:


 * 1) No Rough and Tumble talk.
 * 2) No discussion about the Temple, rituals, or the "second anointing".
 * 3) No Doxing

Frequent Callers
Mormon Talk, being a call-in show, has experienced several callers that have stood out for their zany testimonies. Among the most zany have been Randy O. Call Jr. and his father Randy O. Call Sr.

Specials
Mormon Talk is noted for having special episodes, some that are organized on a recurring basis and some that coincide with LDS events or holidays.

Talent Talk
Talent Talk usually airs on the first Monday of each month. Throughout the previous month, callers are encouraged to submit videos or recordings of themselves exhibiting their "talents." During Talent Talk, the first hour of the show is devoted to Carson and Brett showing and reacting to the submitted talents, while the second hour follows the more usual Mormon Talk format with viewers calling in to discuss either the talents previously shown or the regular topics as usual.

Talent Talk episodes have been either postponed or delayed due to what Carson deems as "filth" being submitted instead of talents. Recurring themes of this "filth" often included anti-Mormon literature, videos of dogs copulating, or "Trojan Horse" videos that start out seemingly "family-friendly" but suddenly change to filth.

Carson and Brett's 'Sing Star' competition was promoted as the internet's answer to American Idol, and indeed the quality was at times unsurpassable and indubitably of comparable comparison to American Idol if not better (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QShkYjBiNo&t=2645s).

Bi-annual General Conference Episodes
The first General Conference episode took place on October 5, 2019. The episode included readings by Carson, Brett, and special guest Brock N. Richards, former President of the Elders Quorum.

The second General Conference episode took place on April 11, 2020. The episode included readings by Carson, Brett, returning special guest Brock, and a new special guest Rebecca L. Whittenmore. This episode was controversial due to an onscreen altercation between Carson and Brock. The episode concluded with Brock being banned from Mormon Talk.

Christmas Special
The Christmas Special took place on December 23, 2019 to coincide with Joseph Smith's birthday. The episode included a testimonials from Mormon Talk fans about what Christmas means to them. The episode also included readings by Brett, Carson, returning guest Brock Richards and a new guest and friend of Mormon Talk, Fredrick A. Phillips. The show ended on a controversial note when Fredrick assisted Brock N. Richards on completing the Eggnog Challenge. During the Eggnog Challenge, Fredrick's hand slipped which made the eggnog to spill over Brock's face and subsequently caused him to choke. Brock jumped out of his seat, ejaculated an F♯ and left.
