My girlfriend was raised mormon in Utah and when you started singing the hello song she was like
"...no, NOOOOOOO, NO NOT AGAIN-"
That’s sounds sad.
I know right? I thought I had finally repressed most of those songs from my childhood
I don’t know a single Mormon kid who didn’t hate that song. They stopped doing it because every time you went to a different church in another city they would say it. Literally the worst thing sitting up in front of everybody getting sung to

For those that are confused about the coffee/tea thing: The abridged backstory is that Joseph Smith's wife (Emma) was sick and tired of having to make coffee/tea when church leadership would gather, and was absolutely done with cleaning up the copious tobacco-waste that was generated by the group. Joseph mentioned it in passing to God, and He said "Oh yeah! Now that you mention it, I totally meant to tell you that coffee, tea, and tobacco are super bad for you! Sorry, I've been meaning to talk to you about that for a while, but I wanted to wait until your wife was REALLY furious with you about the situation." (I may have taken some creative liberties with the dialogue...)
No I think you nailed it on the exchange between god and joseph smith, I was the tea cups
Damn Joseph Smith really loved to make shit up lmao
I completely forgot that Utah existed, there's never any news from Utah. You see, here in California something is always on fire, that makes us interesting
Sometimes I wish more people got murdered down here so people woukd remember us 😔
@@junebugz3143 oh my god chill
@@junebugz3143 do you need to talk about something
California can get boring at times though, I live on the coast and you would think that the beach is really fun and we would go all the time or something but it is the ONLY place here that is actually actually interesting (before the fires anyways)
Yeah then all the smog gets trapped here because of all the mountains. Oh, you wanted to go outside? Too bad, you can't see the sun and if you take one step outside and you have asthma you freaking die.
Kelsey: “Church took FOREVER, it was like 8 hours!”
Me, an LDS member: “It’s like an hour and a half now. I do not miss going for 3 hours”
Neither do I lol
It's so nice having like 45 minutes church now bc of corona
It’s two hours now . Actually for corona we have like two speakers and go home or don’t go at all and do it at home and just have sacrament and read a scripture or someth edit: it’s different for other places during corona based on how many cases and risks but that’s how it is for me.
@@thisismyusernameidk hmm, now that I think about it I'm pretty sure it's different for every ward/stake idk but for us we just have sacrament meeting, with ends up lasting like 45 minutes to 1 hour, and then we go home and have 2nd hour virtually
So yeah that's interesting
In my ward we have socially distanced sacrament meeting for the first hour and virtual Sunday school classes from home for about 30 mins
My church service is at least a hour and a half, the first hour is taken up by multiple church songs from the church choir and band, the second half is the pastor preaching.
So Book Of Mormon was ACCURATE with the song titled “Hello”
Damn it you beat me to the book of Mormon joke LOL
YES, I HAVE A MISSIONARY BROTHER AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN HIM SMILE THAT MUCH.

yah hahahahaha i had to sing that a few times and yah its wierd
As someone who resides in Missouri, I've never seen a mountain or a desert in my life. It's so strange that you can just casually drive a couple minutes or so and see those giant ass rocks and hills. Here we just have a ton of mini forests with plains.
I live in Northern Utah, and I don't have to drive to see a mountain, I just have to look out a window. I currently live in a valley, so there is a mountain in every direction. I do love going up in the canyons to hike on the extensive amount of trails
Actually you don’t even need to drive. You can usually just see them anywhere
Im in cali and it takes me over an hour to see forests or plains😭
I'm also in Missouri, we have mountains! Like,, huge rock shits. There's a highway near me that's in-between big like, hills/rock that's been blown up to get through. Then there's like a big big drop.
And elephant rocks!! WE HAVE ROCKS 😭😭😭 PLSSS
@@heyits_cat8966sammmeee. driving anywhere is a nightmare bc all the up and down and twisty stuffs. also as a kid i thought the blown up hills were natural until i pointed out how beautiful the "natural landscaping" was.
As a Utahn, I agree with everything. Also, Post Malone has a house here, so that’s fun-

As living in Utah I can confirm this.

I am and I was given flash backs to when I had to sing it
me as well lmao
As a Utahn and member of the church, I find this HILARIOUS! Y'all were on point! My husband and I busted out laughing about the coffee/soda/fry sauce thing
I’m a ex-Mormon and and the Hello song KILLED ME. The “church takes forever” JFC you’re right. We can drink Caffine but not coffee or tea. It’s not cause it’s hot.
@@Morosiss exactly why I became an ex Mormon. The LDS church is more about the opinions of a small group of people and not actually gospel
lmao this. my beliefs line up with the lds beliefs but holy shit some of the rules are so stupid??? ive always hated going to church 👹👹
It's more along the lines of "no strong drinks" such as coffee or caffeinated tea or alcohol or wine
Soda is fine
@Sarah Morey People are allowed to have their own opinions. We're not saying people who do follow the rules of mormon beliefs are stupid, don't worry, we just disagree with those rules. like I said, me personally, my beliefs do line up with the mormon ones and i do consider myself a mormon, but i don't agree with some of the rules, you know?

Are you ok
As a hobbyist nature photographer, you won't find a more diverse range of landscapes, mountains, and vistas than you will exploring Utah. I try to visit at least once a year just to get away in the mountains alone.
I went on vacation to Utah 3 years ago. We were staying in an area with natural salt flats and they sold that salt in every store you went to. I noticed that there was a lot of Asian tourists at the parks that would just show up, take pictures and drive off. I thought nothing of it until later that day I went to buy a shirt at a souvenir shop and these two Asian women were in front of me were buying at least 20 containers of salt. I thought it was bizarre, so I asked a tour guide about it the next day. She said that Japanese food has a lot of salt in it, but Japan doesn’t have much natural salt and most of the salt there is imported and expensive. So Japanese people will go on vacation to Utah, buy tons of salt and go home.

Maybe I should go there...since I love salt
Utah: Fry sauce
The other states: you mean mayochup
It could be good idk I haven’t tried it
We made it first! Screw heinz

One time my brother saw a bottle of Mayochup in the store and he said "Mayochup? That sounds disgusting who would want Mayochup?" and after I explained to him that it was literally just fry sauce he asked my dad if we could buy it-
You punch the people who say that
"Lets talk about polygamy"

I literally just clicked on this video to fact check it, and you did a great job explaining what it’s like to live in Utah. Especially the fry sauce bit. That’s so accurate it hurts.
Me: *was literally birthed in Utah and knows everything you’re talking about even how to pronounce Tooele*
Same
What about Hurricane
how
@@atatdoggo3004 what is the how referring to?
@@rmnig8847 what are you talking about. Hurricane is pronounced the same here as everywhere else
The "hot beverages" rule is super old and is actually unclear. A lot of people apply it as they want with stuff like coffee and soda, but everyone agrees that it's for sure about alcohol.
Polygamy is actually not a mormon thing at all. A small sect split off when the LDS church stopped practicing polygamy. That sect is the FLDS and the LDS church wants nothing to do with them.
And one question I get all the time, despite not being mormon, is if they have horns or not. That was a lie perpetuated by the Mississippi government so that people could hunt mormons legally since they were a horned animal.
Also I completely forgot to say: some of the local missionaries are here to run visitor sites like temple square and come from out of state/country, and a lot of the ones that are utah natives stay in the state for medical reasons. A friend of mine has epilepsy and needed to stay close to home and family, but still wanted to go on a mission, so he was sent a couple valleys north of home (about 3 hours)
hi so I just wanted to say (as a member of the church) thank you for putting this comment out there! It’s really well written and I think it clears up a lot of stuff. Anyway, I hope you have a great day!
Do you have a source on the horned thing? I was under the impression that it was because horns are symbolic of evil (associated with demons). I mean, this myth has been applied to other religious minorities (Jewish people), so I would be surprised if it had a reason specific to Mormonism rather than just being the kind of thing people spread to dehumanize minorities.
I want to read this but I’m to lazy
Old LDS paligamy wasn't even really paligamy. It was just President Young asking the men with a family to take care of/ "marry" a woman whose husband had died in the way to Utah.

that "hello hello" song will haunt me and bring back unwanted childhood memories of primary. (i am technically still a mormon but i do not believe in what they teach and plan to leave the church one day when i am an adult)
hey hope you got out, or can get out soon ♡
Wait people actually live in Utah 👁👄👁

Yes we do
Nope, Utah isn't a state. It's a little pool in the middle of New Zealand next to a small village
Mentioning the welcome song brought back some repressed memories.
*don't forget when it's your birthday*
As a mormon I can confirm that this song is terrifying
@@missmurder4035 “you had a birthday say hooray, we’d like to sing to you today, one year older and wiser too, happy birthday, too you” hopefully I got that right
im lds and it's even worse when you're like, visiting grandparents and you go to their ward. you stand up at the front with all your siblings as they sing at you, then they seperate you from your siblings (the only people you actually know) so they can sit with their age groups, then you sit at the end of the row alone as they teach the lesson.
(i think it's better if you go w/ a friend, rather than alone)
Absolutely terrifying, even just remembering it...
“Mom can you pick me up Stacy is going to church and I want to go back to sleep”.
I actually asked my LDS neighbor about why missionaries were sent out here in Utah. Not exactly a target-rich environment, was my thought. She told me that the ones in Utah here actually have a far higher rate of conversions than anywhere else. I suppose it's true that those of us living here know that the members of the church are generally just people like the rest of us, so there isn't the strong negative association that those who only know about the church from stand up comedians have.
as a mormon, (not polygamy) that hELLo HeLo hEllO HeLLo song is terrifying
Yesssssss its terrible. I’m so glad I’m not in primary anymore
I’m an exmo now but I remember having to sing that song 😭😭

@@rosiegore6940 Same!
What about it
As a mormon I just wanted to clear a few things up.
1. Tea and coffee
We can't have those because there part of something called the world of wisdom which is basically a sacred diet. It doesn't applie to all tea tho. You can have herbal but you can't have green, black, or any other types of tea.
2. People who are polygamists that claim to be mormon arn't mormon. Polygamy was banned in 1890 and the church doesn't recognize those individuals as being part of us.
3. We do sing a hello song.
Correct
Didn't the founder was polygamous?
@@Djinn_Entonic so yes but it was ban, what poligamious “Mormons” come for the reformed Mormon church which is a lot smaller and unrelated
Tell that to the secret Mormon polygamists that are literally everywhere here. When I was Mormon, I didn't see it because church members are very shielded from it. But on the outside, you begin to understand that there are many small communities (not just the fundamentalists) which follow the church, but still practice polygamy.
@@Djinn_Entonic iirc (and this is what I’ve been taught) Joseph Smith actually didn’t want to practice polygamy, but God basically threatened to take away his admin status if he didn’t.
Saying the weather's diverse is an understatement. One day it's 100 degrees, the next day it's snowing. I remember on like the last day of 6th grade(in late May) we got hail.
As someone who is lds here is my take. The whole hot beverage thing isn't true. It's really about the caffeine. To my knowledge, it's the idea that caffeine can become an addiction, if you need caffeine to function that can be a problem. So coffee is a no.
Soda is a grey area. Not all soda has caffeine but some does. The idea of addiction also applies, if you need Dr.Pepper or Mountain Dew etc etc.. to function then you shouldn't drink it.
lol yeah exactly that's how I try to explain it but it's so confusing to other people. It's odd that people think that needing something to function is healthy but like... it's cultural i guess?
This is basically my philosophy on the matter. The point is avoiding addiction, so if you want to fully apply it all then caffeinated soda would be banned as well. But my stance is that having a cup of coffee or tea is not going to be a strike on your permanent record. There isn't anything inherently wrong with coffee/tea, save for the possibility for addiction. All-in-all, anything that can lead to addictive behavior should be carefully monitored, and if you are having a difficult time with something in particular, then one should consider avoiding it as best they can.

don't forget about the fact that: Seminary is a full year class in high school that kids take here, except it gives you no credit towards graduation. It's basically set up as an extra class, so that the kids who take it will still graduate on time instead of missing 4 credits. However, if you aren't LDS, and you use that class period to take credited classes instead, you can graduate early pretty easily. Not taking seminary automatically puts you ahead in credits. At least where I grew up.
Seminary could could also open doors to getting scholarships at Mormon colleges like BYU
Not if you took early morning seminary, one whole extra class slot for me so I could take veterinary tech courses at J-Tech half the day and get a job after High School Graduation.
For us seminary is a before school thing... Not optional...
If you live in Utah or Idaho, sure, you get to take seminary during the day, but for the most of us, we have to take it early in the morning....plus you have pretty much no chance of going to BYU if you don’t graduate seminary soooo its fine
It’s easy to graduate early, but if you’re planning on going to college, you should just take concurrent enrollment courses instead of graduate early. You save sooo much money doing that.
My mom was in a strict polygamist upbringing, she wasn't allowed to drink any hot drinks AT ALL including hot cocoa
Watched this video with my Utahn husband who basically said 100% accurate as soon as the car drove by loud AF.

@@amy-9118 a religion, now known as LDS
That zoom in on his face while he says that he loves mayonnaise has a very specific manic energy. We get that wonderful sunset set up down here in Arizona too. I love it.
Kesley: *post a video*
Me: The Return Of The Queen
I KNOW THE SONG ITS CALLED THE WELCOME SONG.
“Hello hello hello hello, we welcome you today. To share with us a primary day and be our friend in a very special wayyy”
This brought back so many memories of my primary days-
Yo where I went to church we had like five more that we sang for each person...
At the end we would always scream "HEY!"
I GREW UP WITH THAT SONG AND NOW THE LAST LINE SOUNDS SO SUGGESTIVE
@@luckcoplin7421 thanks for that thought I will forever die laughing when kids sing it
As someone who is Mormon and lives in Utah myself I personally LOVE videos and stuff like this because I like seeing other people's perspectives!!!
I wish i was like you i just get anxiety that they will hate us 😆
😁 Thank you for keeping this respectful not just to members of The Church, but towards Utahns in general. ❤️
I was suggested this video a little over a year and a half after you published it, hope things are going well! Great conversation to listen to (even though I can tell you two didn't quite know/understand some church things, like how no polygamist is part of The Church 😉), you two seem like fun people. 👍
Cool people from Utah:
Piano guys
Studio C
Donny Osmond
Imagine Dragons
There's probably more but my mind isn't working properly. I live in Utah also, and am a member of the church. It's actually pretty green in the area that I live in. So the whole state isn't a sandy desert like a lot of people think.
Yo Imagine Dragons is from Utah?!? Omg. You learn something new everyday dang
There's also Steve Young a famous foot ball player
I said this earlier but Lindsey Sterling, the piano guys! Ed Catmull also worked here at the U
David Archuleta 👀
@@art_games_and_writing9778 YES! He was one of the ones I was missing! I don't really know the other two mentioned before
I've literally have never heard of a soda shop.
There's like 5 within a 10 mile radius of where I live they got like cookies and weird mixes of flavors for sodas from fanta to monster (if you wanna call monster a soda they go all out at these shops)
FiiZ is my poison of choice
@@Hanjo8787 DUDE AND THEY GOT THOSE HOT AS FUCK PRETZEL BITES
My reaction when my mom told me ALL ABOUT IT- it was a long day...
Fiiz. Sprite Zen. BEST DRINK EVER.
Ok the hot beverage/caffine thing has always confused me, even as someone who's grown up Mormon. Caffine isn't allowed so logically herbal tea is ok, but then hot drinks aren't ok so no herbal tea??? My family just disregards that rule, but take it from someone who grew up Mormon: SOMETIMES WE DON'T GET OUR OWN RULES EITHER
You can drink tea, coffee, and soda but as long it doesn’t become a addiction where you need it to function in every day life.
I think its just the sheer amount of caffeine, like expresso, coffee and energy drinks are banded but most soda is ok
@@danielortega6567 This is my philosophy on the matter. Things with the potential for addiction you should be careful about/wary of, but it is not a sin to have a cup of coffee. Unless you are having it because "hehehe, I'm not supposed to do this", then you probably need to repent.
for me its just no caffeine or tea. doesnt stop me from dropping by the store and buying shit like that
I'm Mormon and we only never drank warm drinks with caffeine but now we do it sparingly so we are just ok with whatever
Me, a Mormon, remembering all of the cringey memory’s of inviting everyone and their dog to church because everyone told me I had too
Wyoming is essentially just a mix of Texas, Utah and South Dakota. But, empty.
Never seen such a perfect description
Where you can buy illegal fireworks, lottery tickets, and go to porn shops
"Soda shops"
im sorry, what? i can just- go to a store, that is JUST soda?? I WANNA LIVE IN UTAH NOW???
It's not even really a store, it's like a Starbucks, but with soda. So you can customize your own soda and add like syrups and fruit and shit. It's pretty amazing, most of them also sell cookies :)
Yep! You can customize the soda with syrups and fruit and shit. Some shops even sell cookies, but I've only ever been to Sodalicious
I live in utah and I honestly didn't know that they didn't have soda shops in other places
My recommendation from a soda shop they mentioned in the video (Fiiz, yes that is spelled correctly. 2 'i's 1 'z') is "Sprite Zen." It's SOOOOOO good. Or if you don't want it super sweet, you can just get it as a flavored water, which is more mellow. Totally worth stopping by Fiiz if every you are passing through!
"The sunsets in Utah are unbeat by any other sunset I've ever seen..."
*(Florida would like to know your location)*
< Arizona has Entered the Chat >
Where I live sunsets almost always end in a rainbow, and then five minutes later the sky is dark blue and depressing. I live in Missouri
Clearly you guys have not been in Puerto Rico
Its beautiful here but i cant say the same for the educational system
*TEXAS HAS BROUGHT THE HUNTIN RIFLE TO THE PARTY*
And then there’s us in California with rainbow sunsets
Yeah that’s right I said rainbow
This was such a cute video! I grew up a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints, but outside of Utah lol so it's really funny for me to live in Utah now 😂
I agree the best part of Utah is the nature, I also love the temples!
Thanks for sharing Utah really is a special place lol
As someone who lives in utah
This is all true
Also : American fork is a city
And spanish fork. Can’t forget the Spanish and American fork. Don’t ask why. Just go with it
I think you mean AF. I'll let you off this time, but don't let me catch you calling PG Pleasant Grove, or you're in for it.
Yes
As a newer Utahan, I can confirm everything in this video 😀 also utah has a CRAZY AMAZING arts and crafts community that spans all throughout the state. They also are obsessed with instruments. Never before have i seen so many thriving piano stores.. oh and they are really into locally sourced products and food. Like, super local. Like, from your neighbor local. They were baking bread before it was cool 😎
I hope by now you know it's Utahn
Ok i think somwhere in St George theres this giant guitar made out of rusty old tools and such
we have so many artistic things heres its insane
I personally think its because of how pretty artsy stuff looks behind the red and burnt sienna plateaus and rocks
also is no one gonna talk about how Utah legit goes from a desert to a winter wonderland with just a bit of elevation?
Not to mention art city in springville that's a cool place.
@@baha96 Utahahahahahahahahn.
The farmer's market is pretty good. Which I'm sure other states have that too, especially states known for their agriculture. We do have that "Utah's Own" label in grocery stores for locally sourced products which is kind of cool.

Kelsey: I never went to Church
Me: Wait ur parents didnt force you to go to church?
Weird....
people who dont know what fry sauce is: huh what are they talking about
me: totally agreeing with every word
Last time I had fry sauce it was at a in and out and it made me sick (I really hate Mayo) and I was like how are the chugging a 44 oz cup of fry sauce dude like what
Fry sauce is heavenly
fry sauce is one of the things i would miss if i left. I just can't make it taste the same as the packaged stuff they have here
@@basura8355 my family makes it from scratch all the time! It is really easy to make lol
It's nice to see people in the comments confirming things about "Mormons" and not just bashing on them for no reason
I get you on the church thing. I had to go to church as a child, and I LITERALLY only went because of Sunday School. As soon as I got too old for that, I hated it, but by then they thankfully stopped forcing me. Then when I got older, and lived down the street from one, I literally only didn't go because I just wanted to sleep in.
Do I judge you if you go? No. But nothing will stop me from personally being an atheist.
amen
pfft im sorry, im also an atheist
SAMEEE, this is literally my life rn
Lucky, your parents didnt force you to go to church ;( mine get angry if i dont go. They're going to have to accept that I'm just not going to get married in the temple. It's a little traumatizing if I'm being honest. Some of the scriptures feel so hypocritical to me and i just have to sit through it. I hope they dont have me go to seminary again next year
@@synsyin4725 yeah, last year if I didn't go, it was awful, even if I was sick they'd still get really mad, but then this year my brother came out as gay and they kinda kicked him out. I'm not sure what changed but they haven't cared nearly as much if I went or stayed home. I don't care and I also don't mean to offend any Lds person I just personally think that there are so many things wrong with the church and what they say
I am not Christian but my mom is Buddhist so I will go "accompany" her to these temples. So when my Christian grandma came and say for a while. Every Sunday she goes to church. At that time I don't even know Christianity is a thing. So I ask her where she goes. She told me she goes church and then she say wanna come along. I say sure. Holy shit I sure regret going to there, it's so boring I almost slept halfway through. In the temples at least you can wonder around a bit but don't do stupid shit to offend the monks. But in a freaking church you can only siy there, can't talk and listen to a guy reading the bible. But I was interested about the religion for a few days and then no more Christianity.
Me: *sees this video*
Also me, a Mormon: CLICK
Sameee
Yeah :D
Saaaame tho
Whenever I saw his hair all I thought was “he looks like Cruella de Vil from 101 Dalmatians” sorry not sorry hehe 😂😌
"Hello, Hello-"
That song has haunted me for so many years. I was glad to advance to Young Women's just to escape that song.
Also, we can drink caffeine, but I mean it's not the best thing for you :p (I say, drinking my copious amounts of Dr Pepper)
