Hey Joe! BYU students' secret life as Filipino video stars

- Опубликовано: 4 фев 2025
- When they returned home from LDS missions in the Philippines, five #BYU students began making humorous videos in the Cebuano language to celebrate Filipino culture. The family-friendly "Hey Joe Show" quickly became a viral video sensation and turned five "average Joes" into celebrities in Cebu.
The Hey Joe Show members Connor Peck, Sumner Mahaffey, Tylan Glines, Jacob Mingus, and Davis Blount, are instantly recognized in the Philippines where they routinely pose for selfies and draw crowds. Hey Joe Show has more than 800,000 Facebook followers and more than 50 million video views. Thousands of smiling (and screaming) fans showed up for their 2015 and 2016 Filipino tours. Mingus says they have been thrilled by the reaction. “We have been able to bring joy and happiness to the people that we love so much.”
Making fun videos and music in Cebuano has been a part of a "secret life" for these BYU students, who are not recognized as famous in the U.S. As three group members have now graduated from BYU and are moving to different cities, the Hey Joe Show may not produce many videos in the future but the connection to the Philippines is a permanent part of their lives.

"My Morena Girl" (written by Jude Gitamondoc and Therese Villarante and performed by the Hey Joe Show) is available on iTunes (itunes.apple.com/us/artist/hey-joe-show/id1199655896) and Spotify (open.spotify.c...)

Having been born and raised in Manila, the Hey Joe Show made me appreciate Bisaya even more and try my best to learn the language. Daghan salamat!
Thank u bro .. Ako ay bisaya salamat sa pag aaral mo sa language namin. .. Daghang salamat
Dali ra tun-an ang cebuano dong
This reminds me of when I came back from the Philippines. I felt like a star there, but felt like a nobody in the US.
hi
Hindi na kau babalik dito
Mauna n Joe s inyuha... Way energy..!!! 😁
@@edwardantopina102 hahahha mao man
Hi guys!
This is shocking. We may not see them for quite long now but dont worry hey joe show, your always inside filipinos heart. You make them proud on your new journey. 😢
korai Colong YOU'RE ALWAYS NOT YOUR ALWAYS IDIOT
korai Colong proud OF your new... not proud on.. idiot
You have really touch the heart of Filipinos for your being humble and being closed to our culture especially your fluency in Visayan language..
eDanny Arangale have touched!
Thank you for your love of the Filipino people. You are all indeed embarking on new phases in your lives. May God bless you all! Just remember that you will always be cherished in the hearts of the Filipinos. If you all have time again to visit, we'll all be here waiting! We are grateful and accept our heartfelt thanks to all of you.
...in your lives now.
💖
I'm a bisaya, born and raised. I can't help but leave a comment. I admire these guys and thier experience in my country. Their story's one a kind. The kind where you can find in movies/books. They became famous in a foreign land. And being back in US, it was like facing reality. Waking up from this insanely beautiful dream. It's sad thatwe won't be seeing any Hey Joe Show for a very long time. God Bless you and the future ahead of you. Kami nga mga Bisaya mu ingun, HJS will always have a place in a Bisaya's hearts.
we are so proud that in very short period of time there were 5 american teenagers who once loved and showcased our country and my city to the world .. we will truly treasure those memories that HJS left us .. until now its been years since they left my country and my city ( cebu ) but their impact in cebuano culture remains strong and meaningful.. we loved them because not all foreigners especially europeans and americans respect my city when they visit here.. they are all criticising the environment like filipino being undisciplined and many insulting words .. when stray kids or homeless kids will ask for money they pushing them away.. thats why cebuanos loved hey joe show because they showed opposite way.. they loved our culture.. our people .. our nature .. they respected my fellow cebuanos.. they adapted the culture .. thats why filipinos are giving back the love and respect they gave us .. so the result, they were instant celerbrities in my country.. everybody knows them.. until now
aw... naluha ako dun ah... THANK YOU so much guys... #heyjoeshow
really love their song "My Morena Girl", brings back memories
I am a member of the Church from Taiwan. Thank you for being good examples and radiate that gospel light even after your mission. That's so important to yourselves, to the people you served, and thus have positive influences at a greater scale. No matter where we are, strive to be a life-long disciple of Jesus Christ.
I love how open determined they are when it comes to discovering and trying other cultures.💕
hey guys, it has been such a long time, But I remember you guys were so famous before, you had a lot of videos going viral in social media PH trends. I can't believe it has been almost 4 years since then. wow time really flies so fast. I hope you guys are doing great, you will always be a part of Philippines, you had our love always, and imagine you guys could speak Cebuano! omg, that is such a feat. I hope you guys could still practice using that language even though you are no longer here in PH. we miss you

Ace Portgas why? What happened?
Whoopee. God bless to all of you. More subscribers. We love you.
Thank you so very much for sharing this video. Our family, on my wife's side, is Brasilian. And yes, on many trips back to visit family, we've met LDS members on mission while in Bahia in the North, Sao Paulo, and many other cities and regions. Not many were aware that Brasil was, and maybe still is, one of or maybe still the largest (quantitatively), mission destination in the world. This video is great. I watched the entire video, and enjoyed it entirely. Thanks again for posting... :-)
