- Is everyone in Utah a Mormon?
Is everyone in Utah a member of the LDS?
Seriously, is everyone in Utah Mormon?
We’ll answer those questions and more. So, grab your mountain bike and your BOM, we’re gonna unbox the state of Utah!
Open: Oh a Mormon church. Or a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This is a very important part of Utah’s culture. But it’s also very private. Like if you’re not Mormon, YOU can’t go inside. But Mormons say it’s not about secret. It’s about sacred. The Mormon church is a mystery to a lot of people, and a very uniquely American religion. Members of the mormon faith are aware that they are sometimes seen as a source of mystery and suspicion. The membership numbers for the LDS are shrinking, and today, about 1.7% of America’s population is Mormon. That’s about the same number as the Jewish population.
Yes, it’s true that Mormons have a big influence on the politics and everything else in the state, but this whole state isn’t Mormon. Sorta. In order to get a well rounded view of the state of Utah we need to get out of the church and out of the home and head out into the rest of the state and see what else is going on. Only then can we truly know what it’s like to live in Utah.
This is Utah. As you’ll see, most of the population is in the Salt Lake City metro area, and that area is growing super fast. There’s also a lot of other stuff going on in Utah, though, especially when it comes to exploring the outdoors. Utah is a very interesting state, and there’s something different around every corner.
We’re going to begin here in Southwest Utah. Now southern utah is one of the prettiest if not the prettiest part of Utah. Right here along the Arizona border are many of Utah’s national parks, touristy towns and St. George.

Here is my entire Unboxing Series: ua-cam.com/play/PLq-_cmf3H6yqgM1vGG305six5T7dqGURF.html
If you ever do a part 2 I recommend talking about the mining scene. With kennecot copper mine (the biggest mine, it can be seen from space) and there is a bunch of mining cities that have either grown or been abandoned.
@NickJohnson I'm from Perris CA and Utah was one the places to move
Lived in Blanding Utah for 10-years as a non-Mormon, through strange at times, the community treated my family wonderful, Even as a government employee, had no problems.
Drove through Blanding a few years ago,and it had to be the greenest grass I've ever seen.
nice! I'm going there with my girl this summer
Well the bible says "peculiar" but strange works I guess❤
Hello Blanding. Love it there. I’m in similar town on edge of Navajo rez. Very Mormon. Very “redneck.” Family oriented. Good ppl. Lived coast to coast. Almost 40 yrs in this little wonderland. Life is simple. Better.
Daughter’s a techie. She was leery about taking transfer - 15 yrs ago - from SoCal to SLC. She & husband loved Bountiful, UT. They were just confused by all the neighbors showing up to help them move in!
Sorry to further promote UT but Mormon communities are just nice.
@@mmear1683As a former lifelong lib, life amongst more moderate Mormons is just better. Safer. Enjoyable.
I'm not sure if this has been mentioned but just in case it hasn't:
Non-LDS members can go inside churches. But only members are allowed inside temples.
Sounds like a cult.
@@JesusChrist2000BC not really.
@@Dawesenm Sounds like a response a cult member would say.
@@JesusChrist2000BC If being an Atheist is a cult, then sure?
@@JesusChrist2000BC we build them for our god Jesus Christ and we need to make sure only those who are worthy like keep the law of chastity and don’t comment any major sins but as for churches is more like the want to come to learn with us
It is one of the most beautiful states I've been too.
Not in Salt Lake. Unless you like pollution, traffic, and lots of homeless...
@@matthewviramontes3131 SLC is okay, I'm talking about the scenery outside the cities.
I-80 through Utah is one of the most boring places in the US.
I've never been to Utah. I currently live in the state of vermont. A very beautiful state except for mud season
@@Bobby.samuel I live in Utah, Vermont is probably one of the prettiest States I've ever been to. I really enjoyed my time there.
“The lack of drinking and smoking.. makes for a very healthy community” so true. Ppl here love going to the gym and my god the women are beautiful here..
Thanks 💅
Can't believe I only now just found this channel! Fun analysis of the culture and geography of each state, this is exactly what I've been looking for. I got some catching up to do with this "unboxing" series!
You do. Lots.
Feel the same way!! He is ON POINT!
I’m a Coloradan, and even from that perspective, I’ve gotta say, Utah is probably the most beautiful state.
As a Utahn yes
As an Arizonan from Utah, I'd say it depends on what features you find beautiful. Frankly, I prefer cacti and palm trees to snow and dirty inversion winters. Every state in the west has mountains, it's just the ones above the sun belt that have ski resorts.
@@minamcvinnie4629 we have both lol
I’m here in Colorado as well. Moving to Logan this year. I’ll miss Colorado, but can’t wait to call Utah home.
@@jsmith4601 Born raised Logan and after 45 years in Arizona, purchased a Providence home. From April til November it is absolutely gorgeous and has excellent dining, theater, hiking, fishing, and a couple of really beautiful golf courses.
Utah is one of my favorite states! Very beautiful scenic wise and I found the people incredibly friendly! I'm from a part of Canada where the LDS church has a huge prominence so I'm very familiar with living amongst Mormons so I know living in Utah would be somewhat familiar for me.
As a Utahn I will say the winters suck because they can get Cold but then again I always lived in the west
I must admit, the short time I lived in Layton... I miss it there even though I was there for a 6 month contract. Everyone there treated me like I was family, even though I am sometimes a recluse. One girl I worked with would actually come to my place and drag my ass out to go do things.
Bruh i live in layton. Its a great place to live & the view of the wasatch mountain is amazing. Im glad you enjoyed my home state so much👌
Lol. Yep, layton here too. Lived all over with my Dad and then my husband being Air Force. My parents retired here because it was a safer place to raise kids than most places. Things have changed a lot and all the pastures and farm land, orchards are being cut down for more housing. Makes me miss Alaska. Lol
For the most part, Utahn's are very friendly, respectful people....... until they get behind the wheel.
Or if they find out that you’re from California 😂
@@philippinesball5058
Absolutely!!
We'll straight up find, and come after your family! Then give you a ton of hugs, and green jello.
I laughed harder than I should have
About 6 years ago I was in a small 2002 Malibu and I drove my City's licking self in the sand near some Lake trying to go fishing out there and a trucker full of 6-foot Something's Happened out the car in the middle of nowhere and help me push the car out the sand but the looks on their faces was like yes we finally get to have fun
Omg so true. The worst drivers I've ever experienced. Distracted, unskilled, irritated and rude.
I lived in Utah in my old SUV for a few months until i got an apartment and stood there for about half the year. Came from FL to find something new and I was pleasantly surprised at how nice people seemed to be.
I own a condo in Park City, I love the Mormons. Very nice people. I got more than a few peeks into inner sanctums. Yep, donated to their outreach. For that I get a lovely handwritten letter every few months. Vacation in summer or winter, fun. Worth a trip. Raise a family there. Why not? Better than New York.
It’s a dream of mine to own a home in park city; so beautiful
@@achandler8015 a UA-camr i watch lives in park city very cool town
@@supremesoldier354 is it stradman?
I don’t watch him much, but I think he lives there. Pretty cool guy
@@achandler8015 yeah it is him
We love you Michele❤❤🙏
I don't mind Mormons. Their prophet doesn't encourage killing me for not believing like another religion does.
I laughed at your comment about how people from Utah complain a lot. That statement is completely true! I manage an apartment building in Seattle and had multiple residents relocate from Utah which was a complete nightmare. They moved to Seattle for a Church group and immediately started complaining about everything and their neighbors. Seeing them transition into a large city like Seattle was a bit entertaining. They started changing their tune and realized that living in a big city has a lot of variables that are not in your control. This goes the same for residents from Idaho. Definitely was a learning and entertaining experience.
Kathy was so nice during the bonus interview! She’s a great advertisement for Utah with her friendliness 😌
She is SUPER nice :)
Jello hasn’t been a thing since I was a baby 40 years ago. People had bigger families and it was a yummy affordable treat.
Yeah but singing about cheesecake and casserole isn't as fun
* * * Moved to Cedar City from Newport News, Virginia ... big difference ... love it here ... great place to raise a family ... miss the diversity and green of VA but not that humidity.
I worked in Provo for 6 months and lived in Sandy. No one ever asked me if I was a Mormon, they did ask me where I was from a lot. I use to tell them New England where Joseph Smith was born, they seemed happy with that answer. Anyway super nice place, super nice people I enjoyed working there. I was told that the homeless like Salt Lake because the Mormons are really nice to them, give them food and what not. But I didn't see any homeless camps in Sandy or Provo. ( I also enjoyed the close proximity to Las Vegas).
It's not as bad in Salt Lake County, if you move to Provo, you'll definitely get asked.
People seem to over exaggerate us and compare us to Heaven’s Gate. Normally I just roll my eyes and say “Yeah whatever man”.
We’re all nice people and we most certainly don’t tell people to kill themselves for the blood god.
i am moving to South Jordan in a few months. I hope Utah doesn't get too packed. I love the beauty of Utah and the people are really nice too
Where from?
your moving to south jordan? and hope it doesnt get too packed?? LOL, well I hope your really into suprises, cause you have a huge one in your future.
Ezoangelofdeath what do you mean ?
Austin Meldrum from California. But I’m not a libtard
@@andreabontempo643 I mean your too late, I mean you realize of the 3 million + people in Utah, all but like 500,000 of them live within 100 miles distance right? Along the Wasatch front, that's why it's like a 100 mile long city, and of those people like 2 million are between Provo and salt lake city, long story short that entire area is jam packed and still growing at a staggering pace, it's better where I live further North but the traffic on the morning and at night is just a little better then then the I-5 when I lived in Yorbalinda
I dream of visiting the Utah's natural parks! Those rocks and mountains look amazing! That was my second favourite in the unboxing series after Alaska!
So cool!
I went to Moab earlier this summer, it’s great. Arches National Park was my favorite, but I also went to this place called Dead Horse Point State Park which has a good view of the Colorado River and canyons as well as Potash Road which has dinosaur tracks and Native American petroglyphs. Pictures do not do this place justice.
I moved to St George, Utah for school and although it’s gorgeous and people are nice, it is so hard to make friends as a non Mormon. Mormons are of course super sweet but our lifestyles are so different that it’s so hard to relate to each other and hangout.
Isn't Utah the MLM(multi level marketing) capital of the world?
Not mormon but I'm born and raised in the Salt Lake area! I don't intend to leave. I've put down roots here and Salt Lake is the only urban area in the western US that's still affordable. I'm not leaving anytime soon. Southern Utah is gorgeous and is the best nature exploration I've ever encountered as well, plus Vegas and some really hip towns in Colorado are nearby as well.
As far as polygs go they do largely hang in Hilldale and across the state line in Colorado City, AZ. Eastern Utah is mostly meh honestly outside of Moab. I speak as someone who was born in Vernal and have visited as an adult... Mehhhhh.
I'm well practiced but I'm really good at ignoring the church, therefore I lead a really happy life in Utah.
Edit: and I did get my name removed but yes. Less than half of the member count is active and well less than half the population is active in the church. That's absolutely correct.
Oh and Provo hardly has a music scene. It's all downtown unfortunately. We need venues in better parts of town. Some bars are getting opened in nice neighborhoods and having bands in thankfully. I'm having to go to the Rio Grande tweaker ass area a lot less.
What about Boise?
@@itsnick37 Boise is a nice town! It's reasonably sized, clean there's a really great up and coming arts scene up there too. It's a great place to be honestly. I'd have no problem living is a place like that.
@@itsnick37 what about Boise, you got the wrong state pal, ugh! this is Utah, no boise here, theres a boise in Idaho and it's shoot me in the face boring, but thats a different state
Thanks a lot dude! Now I am homesick from watching this. I am from Logan but stuck out here in Turdsville, CA. All of Utah is pretty good but Logan is the best. Go Aggies!
Turdsville
@@rayb.6537 I have been hearing that SLC is getting bad with homeless. I used to work right downtown back in 2012 and it wasn't bad at all then. A few would hang out near the entrance to City Center on Main Street, and of course Pioneer Park had them milling about all the time, but other than that it wasn't so bad.
I can't tell when I talk with people from back in Salt Lake if there really is a homeless problem or if it just seems bad to them. Perhaps if they came out to the Bay Area they might have a different perspective. I liken it to when I used to commute into SLC and thought the traffic was HORRIBLE! Then I moved to Houston and found out that I had no idea what traffic was.
Go aggies!
I have lived along the Wasatch Front (SLC-Ogden) for 51 years. It was a great place to live 20 years ago, but has become not so great. Traffic is terrible and home prices are sky high from what they used to be. All the recreation areas are way overcrowded. If you're okay with traffic and crowds you may like living here, but my wife and I when we retire are getting out to someplace with less congestion and cleaner air!
Hardly any place left with less congestion. I agree with you though. We live in the same area and all the leftist transplants have driven up the prices and traffic is crazy. Utah is quickly becoming an unlivable state for many.
My family is very mormon. Same with most of my extended family. They live in rural Utah in a town called Enterprise. Anyway, I was raised mormon but left at 16. My entire family has always been supportive of my choice. I have never met someone in Utah who hated me because I wasn’t mormon, and I lived in a small town. I would say that people here are far more concerned about politics than they are religion. They don’t want left leaning people moving here from California. I will say, if you are a liberal or even lean left, stay out of small towns. They will harass and bully you.
Hoping for a Central California and/or Northern California video soon 🙏
if you need an interview with someone about northern California Nick I lived there for 3 months in the emerald triangle
He already did the regular California unboxing video and a southern California unboxing video though. Every other state just has one Unboxing video. California has two.
@@miked7212 He sure did. I just think it'd be cool to get a couple vids for the different regions of the state like Central and North since they're so unique. Besides, the "Unboxing California" video is almost 2 years old and it'd b cool to get an updated version.
@@torinhoward1041 oh I didn't realize the California unboxing video is two years old. I think ones for certain cities would be good too like NYC, LA, and Chicago. Maybe someday.
maybe i will get to those eventually haha :)
I moved here 2 years ago and this guy nailed it 100% !
Always
Unfortunately we’ve become and are becoming just another American city. We’re losing our uniqueness. The secret is out.
30 minutes? This is gonna be a good video 🤩
I never understood the jello stereotype. I lived in Utah for 7 years and I have never seen food in jello and the only time I have heard of it is when people claim it’s a big deal in Utah.
You gotta go underground to find it
Been looking forward to this for a loooong time. Was once in utah and the scenery is just gorgeous. Sadly it was only for a few days but I’ll be back at some point.
That was a great video. Loved the Jello song and the Kathy bonus interview. It’s getting so expensive to live in Utah. Salary is not meeting cost of living and other expenses there.
I agree Jamie!
Without a doubt the most beautiful state in the US! I would love to live there but part of me would feel bad for taking up some of that beautiful land so I stick to just visiting.
Mappy, my friend in El Paso said when she was looking for an apartment in Salt Lake City, the ads would say, "NO children NO pets NO cowboys"
What the
@@NickJohnson doubt []
@@NickJohnson What the what?
Gotta say, you did your research lol. I was born and raised in this state and I wouldn't move anywhere else in this world. I absolutely love this state and the people. No matter how obnoxious they are at times. 🙄
When I was in Utah, I could never shake this feeling like I was being watched. Must have been all those gold tops of the churches scattered all around up high on the mountain sides
If I didn’t live in Utah I’d probably spend a lot of money and time getting to, and vacationing in, Utah. LOL
I love in Illinois and I and several people I know do exactly this 😂
I was born and raised in Central Utah. In fact my hometown Mt. Pleasant, is nicknamed "Hub City" because it's the exact center of Utah. It's a beautiful rural community along highway 89 at the base of the Manti LaSal mountains. Now I live in Northeast Utah in Coalville. A small town just outside Park City. It's nice here too. Mormonism isn't as big of deal anymore. I think us non-mormons are finally the majority.
You look nice in a shirt and tie.
i can clean up when i try :)
You trying to make mappy’s wife jealous?
Jello is also a way somebody could hide drinking if it is frowned upon. LOL
God bless America🗽

Wish I found you and you had made your video before I took a chance on Utah ! Least fav state I’ve ever lived in… your videos are ON POINT!
Nick u were reading my mind i just said when is he doing utah next! and u post it
I lived in Utah for 12 years, I am NOT a Mormon. Utah is very, very beautiful ! I loved it there ! It is so dry, they dont have flies or fleas !! and no MOSQUITOES !!!!! well, the Great Salt Lake has the water that mosquitoes need but I didnt see one one where I lived!
I'm thinking of moving to Utah from Texas after college. Where do you recommend a young person go?
@@antonioiniguez1615 all of Utah is beautiful ! I would recommend Salt Lake City.
@@antonioiniguez1615 where are you moving from ?
Pretty darn accurate for someone that doesn't live in Utah! Best thing about the State is the Nature, so hopefully we dont ruin it with overcrowding! It's also getting really expensive fast. So yeah, dont move to Utah if you're not able to pay a premium. For me its worth it for the four beautiful seasons, the skiing, hiking, national parks, fall leaves....those things are what keep me here.
How do you know I don't live there rose?
@@NickJohnson you got me
Living in Utah is wonderful for people like me. By “people like me” I mean people who enjoy, with unbridled enthusiasm, a cosmopolitan mix of available outdoor activities (not to mention the growing cosmopolitan vibrancy of certain Utah cities). For me, skiing is intoxicating for its mountainous, wintry grandeur coupled with its gravity driven exhilaration. From where I live I am an hour or less from multiple world class ski venues, the vast majority of which are also available to snowboarders enamored of the same excellent virtues. Our mountains are positively exquisite aesthetically and afford people truly marvelous year round experiences. Then there is the red rock country - as alive with incomparable beauty as it is with, in many places, the stirring footprints of ancient peoples and other prehistoric life. The richness of Utah’s outdoor variety is, if not entirely unique, among exceedingly few comparable places.
To my way of thinking the cons are political. Although in a technical sense The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is a religion, its pervasive dominance subjects the population at large to its strictures as if it were also the state’s dominant political party (which I’d say it is). Utah is politically conservative in the extreme, a quality that threatens some of the things that make Utah wonderful. Witness the antipathy that encouraged Donald Trump to (try to - that story isn’t over yet) dramatically shrink Bears Ears and Grand Escalante Staircase, opening irreplaceable natural treasures to the ravages of coal and uranium mining. The state is aggressively one-party conservative, even though the population in general has substantially more moderate, even progressive elements. Still, our anti-regulation, pro-business political dominance contributes to poisonous Salt Lake Valley air, a related appetite to enlarge motor vehicle access everywhere, and a strong social subtext attributing the privations of our state’s less fortunate to their own lack of moral fiber/self-indulgent unwillingness to better themselves.
It is possible that the time may come when I find the cons overwhelming the pros, but ongoing shifts in the state’s population make me optimistic that opposite tendencies will ultimately prevail here. For now and the foreseeable future, I’m staying put.
When I think of Utah, I think of the whole Mormon population.
what do you think about them when you think about them? do you think about them, naked?
Kayla... What does that even mean?
When younger I would complain about the church “controlling the state”. As I became and adult and saw what drugs can do to people and beautiful states I agree with keeping laws strict. And I have realized Utah is great because of the LDS influence. Laws are very needed for people to thrive. I love Utah and I’m ready to move back. I’m currently in FL.
Utah sounds like a great state! I just hope they don’t run out of water soon with there being so many people moving in and there not being much natural sources of readily available drinking water.
Precisely
Yeah they actually started to pay people to get rid of their grass, and just do something else for their front yard. Now the drought is over, and we are getting a lot of rain, and some snow. We should be fine for now. We really will have to look at that as a real problem though. A lot of people moving here probably don’t fully realize how much of the state is desert.
Please unbox more states, great presentation !!!
I moved from south LA to south salt lake and the crime isn't comparable. The issues are minor compared to bigger cities. It's growing a lot but they are building lots of housing. And housing is the cheapest of all the western states.
You’re great to watch. I enjoy your videos
Great 👍🏾video, please do a part 2 on Utah soon. Oh yeah you look nice as a Mormon. 😇
this episode of unboxing is informative and hilarious. thanks!
ok!
Maybe you could do the Canadian territories when you’re done with unboxing the states?
You can go into a Mormon church, you can't go into a temple with being a member
You can go in when they finish building it and have an open house so like everyone can see inside . I thought that was cool
My first assignment in the USAF was at HILL AFB. It was a good assignment. 👍
South Salt Lake is improving. It’s a little run down in some parts. But it’s still way better than the neighborhood where I lived in Los Angeles.
Anything is better than LA
The mountains are great, but the rules are a little strange….great vid Nick!
You'll see it soon honey!
really good episode. I've been waiting a while for it.
Great video! The big omission: Utah has THE ABSOLUTE WORST drivers in America. There is no debate. Having lived in DC and Southern California both, I’d rather deal with their drivers than Utah’s drivers any day of the week.
Fun fact: So the big building in the beginning of the video is actually not a church building. It is a temple, specifically, the Salt Lake temple. It took 40 years to build. Fun fact #2: Although it's true that only members with temple recommends can attend the temple, when a new temple is built, or one is being renovated, they will allow the public to go inside and walk through before they are dedicated. Fun fact #3: Lime jello with shredded carrots and some sweet cream cheese type of stuff is nasty, but my mom loves it. I'll eat the jello, but spit out the carrots. Vegetables do not belong in jello.
I would just make jello without stuff in it. And jello needs an emoji
Lol, yeah, that's what I do, just plainJello. Jello would make a great emoji! Oh, and a couple of pronunciation corrections... it's more like mou'ns, not moun' uns, and then Zion is Ziyun, not Zi-on. 😀
Ive been to St George, Zion Canyon and Bryce Canyon. Beautiful state!
of course polygamy is popular in utah. the dude who woke up one day to write a book and call it a religion was married to like 40 women at the same time, and some were as young as 14
Hey man, you're pretty misinformed on this. I'm not a LDS member but the founder of the LDS church, Joseph Smith was born in Vermont and died in Illinois. polygamy is illegal both by Church and State. Although some people get away with it in the rural areas flying under the radar. I'd check out the FLDS cult which is kind of an off shoot from the LDS church that wants to keep polygamy practice.
@@deadwake05899 you say that polygamy is illegal in the LDS, when the leader was married to a bunch of 14 year old girls
@@Rhylek Correct, polygamy is no longer allowed or practiced by the LDS Church, like i said, check out the FLDS. They are trying to bring polygamy back.
@@deadwake05899 the fact that it EVER was a normal thing to them, is reason enough to believe that their cult is total bullshit.
@@Rhylek I think thats a close minded way to look at the world. People can recognize mistakes and change. There is a lot the church does wrong (overly involved in politics and demanding a 10% income tithe on their members as well as anti lgbtq+ views) but choosing to chastise the church over old beliefs that are no longer practiced is odd to me.
Being raised both in Utah and LDS I can definitely say that the younger generations are moving away from the church and religion in general. Myself included. Mormon culture has a massive hold on the political agenda here and those that claim they are "seperate" must be a little blind to reality. Anyways great video. I don't care for jello btw 🤢 and yes..we love our Utah jazz!
I like how you had on the map Nasty Salt Water 🤣
I grew up here- non Mormon and Hispanic. I love it here although in the last 15 years it’s changed too many people moved in and made it uncomfortable in the main cities. And yes they are impeding on the conservative way of life. Oh the good ol days! Miss them
Nick I love your Jello song so much! You make me laugh so much!😂 I am learning so much from you! You are awesome👍
I don’t know how I missed the lds uniform costume the first time I watched this 😂😂 well played sir

I haven't been to northern utah in 10 years and don't plan on going anytime soon. I like my southwestern corner of Utah
St. George for the win!! All my family has moved up north and it’s still not enough to make me want to visit up north haha.
People everywhere up there nowadays.
I love your channel. I’m a First Nation from Alberta, grew up in the Mormon town of Cardston. Funny thing, Cardston’s name in my native tongue translates to “Many Wives town” lol

Ok 💋
As soon as you popped up dressed as a Mormon I started laughing lol. Unexpected
Thank you for all the information
In Provo/Orem, they automatically assume you're LDS and ask you, "what ward (church building) do you go to?'
This Unboxing Series is Awesome!
Amen to that !
Hiring a flash mob to place a port a potty on the 4 corners monument so I can finally scratch "take a dump in 4 states simultaneously." Off the old bucket list. XD
The people of Utah County are either very insecure, antisocial, exclusive or downright snobby for the most part. Say hello to a stranger and you’ll most likely be greeted with nothing, a dirty look, or a disturbed rebuttal. Also a very loud, grandiose culture. It’s fun if you like to people watch and do your own thing or if you live there and are used to it, I could see why somewhere else may seem boring.
I'm an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who spent most of my life in Utah. I finally moved out and went to Florida. I have no interest in spending half a million dollars for a starter home or living in such terrible air pollution. No fun. I like Florida better.
Smart decision. Utah is massively overpriced.
Born and raised in UT, active member as well. I’ve been considering FL as well. The cost of living is getting ridiculous.
The seasons are messed up. Two weeks of fall weather, two weeks of spring weather, three months of Summer weather, 7 months of cold weather.
I dont agree, I think Utah has the most distinct 4 seasons of any state I've been to. And it really only gets cold and stays cold around end of December through end of March. Plus it's not even that cold, many days jump up to the 40s and it almost never gets below 20 F. That may sound really cold to some people but it a completely dry cold, not the wet cold that soaks down into your bones like in the midwest and northeast.
Hi Nick, I love your videos, and have never commented on any, but as a resident of Utah for the past 25 years, and as an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I wanted to make a few clarifying comments...1. Ya, the green jello thing anymore is more of a popular stereotype than anything. 2. I have never heard anyone prioritize their politics over their faith. Certainly faith probably informs people's political views, but church leadership emphasizes, over the pulpit, at every election cycle that they DO NOT endorse any political party or candidate, and we as church members are encouraged to vote our conscious, not for the GOP; and 3. I do not see the youth of the church leaving in droves; sure, the church doesn't retain every youth, but youth leave and then they often come back, as do older members. If anything, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has a strong vibrant youth population who are known for leaving the state of Utah to do missionary work for 2 years or 18 months which makes them stronger, and this in turn, their service grows the size of the church membership in other areas all over the world. Keep the videos coming Nick, they are great!
Good video, good interview. The lay seems to be a genuine and kind person, not a scary religious fanatic.
She's sweet.
I am moving to Utah and can't wait! Yes the food sucks but I believe the influx of people moving there from all over will bring new and exciting restaurants here. California sucks and I have lived here all of my life. I don't believe there is a perfect state and everyone wants different things. I am looking forward to hiking and skiing and just plain being active in my retirement years

That bad.or just boring.

@@brianmatthews4149 it’s just so hot, like an oven...and it’s boring...and the people are weird
There are light rail trains…good public transportation…in SLC.
Nice job Nick
We are SO proud of fry sauce and like to pretend that nobody else knows what it is. When I went to Austria last winter, our friends at a restaurant started mixing mayo and ketchup together with their fries and I couldn’t believe it!
I never even knew other states didn’t know what fry sauce was, or just didn’t have it. P.S. fry sauce is not usually just mayo and ketchup.
Mayochup, being from FL I thought Puerto Ricans invented that 😂
That was great , I had no idea Utah was more just a desert state ! I’d skip the jello and go with the cheesecake though 👍🏻
Thanks for the suggestion! Now I got a hankerin` for JELL-O! YUM!!!
Whenever I'm in a western city (minus California) and people tell me its hood and ghetto I just laugh. These people dont know what its like being in the real ghetto. The ghetto in Salt Lake City/denver/boise/Portland/Seattle is like the suburbs compared to the ghettos on the eastern side of the state.
I've never felt unsafe in any area of these cities. The only thing is there is a crap load of homeless. But who the hell is afraid of homeless people 😂
As an Australian my only connection is that my doctor when I lived in New Zealand was from SLC 🤔
so good video, i like it, keep good work
🤔... Well, I do like jello!
Thanks for the vid.
There's quite a bit about Utah that would be pretty neat. There's a lot of beautiful places. The political climate would drive me a little nutty though. ...and the climate climate, high, dry, breezy and cold!
Ive been waiting for this one! ✌🙌😎
i know you have.
Utah is the second driest state in the USA, second to Nevada...for the humidity, and i guess liquor too...and the Great Salt Lake stinks horribly !!!!! The snow is like flour.....I lived in Salt Lake City for 14 years and loved it !!!!
I'm thinking of moving to Utah from Texas after college. Where do you recommend a young person go?
Some of the Mormons come here to my town in the UK, I can spot them a mile away have spoke to some of them they seem nice tbh 👍
