I'm ex mormon too and the thought that families will disown their family members because what they call a sin. You can't tell me there is one member in the church who doesn't sin. There are so many things wrong with "the church."
I loved Kendall acknowledging the immense brainwashing and how hard it is to undo. I was raised in an oppressively Christian conservative household (and by a single father so it was all I knew) so when I first moved to college I was still in that mindset, but after a year I was able to get out of that headspace and undo the lifelong brainwashing I had been subjected too. It hurts though when people still think I’m a bad person because of who I was when I was a kid. It’s all I knew and I had to agree with my father just to survive and not be abused.
Kendahl and I definitely stress this in an upcoming episode but we give a lot of grace to teenagers, especially when still living with parents. Home environment can really effect how you process things and move throughout the world. But we both firmly believe people are capable of great change.
my adhd brain loves this podcast so much. may i suggest shipwrecks/the titanic for an episode? one of my hyperfixations is the sea and the creatures that live there, and there is plenty of news about the sea trending currently 💀
I went to BYU-Idaho. Most people there are Mormon. Most people in the town (Rexburg) are Mormon. There’s no in state/out of state tuition. It’s just less expensive for members. Learned about NCMO there. (I only went to one semester then I left the church🌈 🥰)
Someone who lives in the area for BYU here, there is a state school (UVU) about 4 miles down the street from BYU with a free transit bus connecting them. BYU is by far the cheapest school if you are mormon, but if you aren’t it gets far more expensive than UVU very quickly, so the vast majority of non-mormons around here go to UVU. I have never met a BYU student who has never been mormon. I know they exist, but I’ve never met one.
"In state tuition" usually only applies to state schools. Foreign students (in college anyway) are aware of the school they apply to (though they might not realize how hard core it is).
I feel like someone not from the US truly cannot understand the nuances of what going to certain schools mean - unless you grow up hearing all of the subtle comments and implications in tv, movies, from your parents and neighbors and teachers and friends and guidance counsellors and read it in books. theres just no way. because even as someone in the US sometimes I don't know about the reputation of certain schools, esp the less popular ones across the country
When I was in high school we had Japanese exchange students and my old art teacher, someone notorious for saying some of the most unhinged shit ever, straight up asked them how much rice they eat in a day?
I live near BYU and have known many students. Most students are LDS. The ones that aren’t are usually the ones BYU recruits for sports or go for a specific program that BYU excels in. There are a handful of other universities or colleges locals can go to. It’s still a very expensive school, even with the “member discount.” My uncle was kicked out of BYU for being gay and he never got any money back and lost all of his credits. Mormonism is a Christian religion. The Book of Mormon is Jesus fan fiction. ✌🏼
I NEED you 2 to read the memoir "Educated" by Tara Westover. It is about her life in her Mormon household and about how she learned to better herself and fight for her education. Theres a good few chapters of her time at BYU. I think Kendahl would like it
It’s so funny to me that people are finding out about the Utah soda shops now 😭😂 I grew up on the border of ID and UT, and grew up with them. I never liked them but people are OBSESSED with it like people where I live now love caribou and starbucks
I had a crush on a senior on the track team during my freshman year of high school and I was first of all delusional because I was 15 and she was 18 but she also turned out to be a Mormon granola girl and she went to BYU Hawaii. I really thought I had a chance 😭
I'm love seeing people i like online talking about the mormon culture here. It's horrible. I'm 16, gay and gender fluid with mormon parents and a bipolar veryyy mormon mother. These extremist religions are genuinely scary. Religion makes my mother's illness more intense and she's genuinely obsessed and getting worse. This is just going into detail about my personal life but I don't get to say it irl and i really want to say it even if i dont know y'all. Religion makes her worse and the worse she is the more obsessed with religion she is. She's normally not manic but has almost annual manic/psychotic episodes and lately she's been acting differently even when she isn't manic.
I love the topic about eating disorders addictions. Etc. I was in treatment for 4.5 months for an eating disorder. Also I’m exmormon and gay lol. So this is all so relatable. I served a mission. Was soooo Mormon. I’m now married to a trans man lol.
I think one of the most interesting thing about this as a non-american is what the term “liberal” means in your country. Where i’m from (Sweden), Liberal parties are center/center-right wing. Using liberal as a term for someone left leaning or leftist would be absolutely mental.
I've done recruiting from BYU. There are quite a few foreign students who aren't Mormon there. They have to follow the code -- no drinking, no sex, etc. You would get quite a few fundamentalist Christians or Muslims.
Oh I completely get the international students coming to tiny ass towns in America for college. In my tiny ass city where there aren't even sidewalks, we have a TON of international students who come to play sports at our college. They usually come bc they are interested in the fact that we allowed interdisciplinary studies, so they can play sports and have a whole major they can commit to at the same time.
i feel like a lot of people realized their relationship with alcohol was no bueno around the covid lockdowns. like half of my friends reevaluated their relationship with alcohol in 2020-2021. Ive never been much of a drinker.
To clarify, BYU charges the same for in state and out of state as long as you’re Mormon and don’t break the “code of conduct” aka don’t have sex, be queer, drink, smoke, dress “immodestly”, color your hair unnatural colors, or have a beard if you’re a dude.
I, very unfortunately, had to go to a private conservative christian college because it was work study and all I could afford and MAN is this bringing stuff back up for me🥴🥴 the amount of trauma I have from that place is fucking insane
commenting every time something strikes a nerve and the "honor code" is one of them💀💀 I had several friends kicked out for being gay and I was hiding in the closet for dear life
If y'all want to know waaaaay more about BYU and the mormon church than you ever needed to know, may I suggest Jordan and McKay? They're ex-mos and it is all way more weird than you'd think lmao
I’m ex-Mormon and the reason they’re pretending to be less homophobic is because people are leaving in droves. They’re building temples like crazy and being more lax about things to entice the members to stay and to put on the illusion that they are thriving. It’s sad.
Sarah always has really great commentary on religion but Kendahl also saying that “you think god is stupid” by barely skirting all the rules. It gives perspective and ways to push back against people trying to force religion on you.
Ive taken the Marriage and family class at byu and it was utter horse shit. Basically if you are married you shouldnt hang out with the opposite sex and marriage is you marrying to God not to your spouse
BYU have really good sports teams, so a lot of non-Mormons compete on their teams. There was a whole ordeal several years ago when a non-Mormon star basketball player got kicked off the team because he openly had premarital sex and it violated the code of conduct, but for the most part the athletes can fly under the radar.
My mother isn't Mormon, lived in Vermont, and went to BYU 😭 she did turn out to be a hateful evangelical trump supporter tho so I'm not sure it's that surprising lol
My high school had an evangelical program for exchange students and we got so many asian students. (Not just Korean students but from other Asian countries too and I think even European countries as well) And they gave them American names 😟 I always felt awful that they didn't bother forcing us to try and learn another language's names. I also felt bad that my school was suckering foreigners into Christianity but I feel like that's a whole other conversation. I couldn't IMAGINE letting foreign exchange students into a fucking Mormon school though. That is incredibly insane. 😬 I hope it doesn't happen.
I went to LDS business college. Which is like byu. It’s ran by the church. I never once met someone that isn’t Mormon lol. Everyone is Mormon or exmormon and going to finish school for cheap. My father In law is a byui professor.
A lot of people grow up Mormon and go for the cheap tuition fully planning to leave the church immediately after getting their diploma (not after graduation because the school can still mess with you for worthiness all the way up until they give you your diploma)
But even if you’re not Mormon you have to keep the Honor Code and attend a church regularly I think. Although I’ve heard athletes literally do whatever they want hahaha
at 23:59 when they are talking about translations of the bible verse condemning homosexuality, this statement is blatantly incorrect. the original hebrew was not mistranslated from "man" to "boy" . I know that it is hard to hear that the bible actually condemns homosexuality, but please do not spread this misinformation. Jewish people dedicate their lives to studying the bible in the original Hebrew and that is not what the translation is. You can be frustrated over the fact that Christian's pick and choose what rules to follow but it does not help your argument when you quote misinformation.
You don’t have to be endowed to go to BYU but you absolutely have to follow the word of wisdom and go to church 🥲 most guys there are returned missionaries too so they are fully endowed
sarahs byu student is my favourite character on the podcast so far i cant stop laughing
My old teacher told me he thought BYU stood for Bring’em Young because he knew so many Mormon girls who went there and immediately got married lmao
Byu Idaho has a misnomer "BYU-I do"
Ring before spring!
Lol my sister got married at 18 (she's the only mormon one left of the 6 of us)
I grew up Mormon and we all talked about going to BYU just to get married, never for an actual education lol
As a queer ex Mormon from utah who was pressured to go to BYU my whole life and is now entirely estranged from their family, I’m so excited for this.
I'm ex mormon too and the thought that families will disown their family members because what they call a sin. You can't tell me there is one member in the church who doesn't sin. There are so many things wrong with "the church."
SARAH’S CHARACTER IS GENIUS IM HOWLING, she fully realized IM LOSING IT 😭😭😭
BYU - Bring Your Uncle
LMAO
😂
BYOU - Bring your own uncle
Great day to be a gay stoner ❤
I know I felt so proud 😂
The way I was personally flattered LMAO
Gay, stoner, AND I hate alcohol 😎
Sarah's character voice is inspired, I'm rolling!
Sarah’s character was fantastic holy shit

I don’t know how Sarah kept a straight face describing the ‘cow hide’ 😭😭😭
This is the best but also most off the rails ending interview yet I am scream laughing in the Starbucks parking lot
my adhd brain loves this podcast so much. may i suggest shipwrecks/the titanic for an episode? one of my hyperfixations is the sea and the creatures that live there, and there is plenty of news about the sea trending currently 💀
Omg that’s a great idea!! I’ll add it to the list! Thank you
@@TheBCCClub hell yeah! i'm excited to see what you guys do next!!!
Attending BYU is a big reason I’m not Mormon anymore. It’s fucking wild over there
Easily my fav ep so far. Btwn Kendahls fascination with soaking & Sarah saying god doesn't care about fingering 🫠🫠
I went to BYU-Idaho. Most people there are Mormon. Most people in the town (Rexburg) are Mormon. There’s no in state/out of state tuition. It’s just less expensive for members. Learned about NCMO there.
(I only went to one semester then I left the church🌈 🥰)
Sarah, I am cackling!!!! The Margaret ham character is hilarious
its a really big thick hymen, so even if i wanted to have sex, i couldnt 💀💀💀
Laughing my ass off during the improv section.
i love watching kendahl and sarah exist like yaaaaaaas im rooting for u fellow neurodivergent lezzies

carly rae jepsen is so underrated
her album that came out last september was sooooo good also shy boy her recent single is yum
SHE IS SO UNDERRATED ITS CRAZY
Oh my GOD Sara's voice while playing that character was so fucking spot on with the Mormon Primary Voice. I'm like kinda triggered lmao!
This was the funniest interview yet both of them did so good
Can’t believe you guys interviewed Carrie White on the pod! that’s so crazy!!
Nobody can make me laugh as hard as Kendahl and Sarah, I don’t know how they come up with such unhinged characters every week
"In state tuition" usually only applies to state schools. Foreign students (in college anyway) are aware of the school they apply to (though they might not realize how hard core it is).

this episode has best interviewee of all. fr that was the best yet
When I was in high school we had Japanese exchange students and my old art teacher, someone notorious for saying some of the most unhinged shit ever, straight up asked them how much rice they eat in a day?
Kendahl, I'm with you. Moved to Utah, never been mormon, literally obsessed with the soda shops and gay culture here
This episode felt too short! I love this podcast!
I live near BYU and have known many students. Most students are LDS. The ones that aren’t are usually the ones BYU recruits for sports or go for a specific program that BYU excels in.

kendahl describing "soaking" as the kinkiest thing shes heard made me die laughing 💀BECAUSE SHES SO RIGHT THO??? LIKE HELLO??
As an exmormon from Utah, this episode hit very close to home in the best way
Omg that part!!! “I feel very secure in my faith, but I understand what you’re saying.” Yes to allllll of the things you both are saying!
It’s so funny to me that people are finding out about the Utah soda shops now 😭😂 I grew up on the border of ID and UT, and grew up with them. I never liked them but people are OBSESSED with it like people where I live now love caribou and starbucks

The interviews at the end are so fuckin funny 😭😂
I love Sarah and Kendhl! ❤️
Really love this podcast! Love both of you guys cos your convos are fun and your comedy is GOLD ❤
This is my favorite interview they’ve ever done
I do love the plot twist with the character in this interview segment! I love this character! Quite cute and hysteric a the same time!
As an exmormon I appreciate the exposure and hope Mormons see this and open their eyes!
I think one of the most interesting thing about this as a non-american is what the term “liberal” means in your country. Where i’m from (Sweden), Liberal parties are center/center-right wing. Using liberal as a term for someone left leaning or leftist would be absolutely mental.
As a woman who was raised as a Southern Baptist, this is hilarious.
I changed my mind this is too much😂😂😂
The way the audio listeners cant see how nice sarahs hair looks
alsoo omg yes please do an episode on tiny mic vids with dads whoo literally know nothing about their families
And he was like “alright you got me there”
I always watch this at the office and usually survive but during Sarah’s skit I almost vomited and exploded from trying not to laugh
Once there were two foreign exchange students at my high school in the middle of Alabama…I did not understand it 😂
I've done recruiting from BYU. There are quite a few foreign students who aren't Mormon there. They have to follow the code -- no drinking, no sex, etc. You would get quite a few fundamentalist Christians or Muslims.
OMG Sarah at the end is hilarious !

omg this might be the funniest end interview
the interview nearly made me piss myself 😭
There's also BYU Idaho!
New fav podcast
i feel like a lot of people realized their relationship with alcohol was no bueno around the covid lockdowns. like half of my friends reevaluated their relationship with alcohol in 2020-2021. Ive never been much of a drinker.
To clarify, BYU charges the same for in state and out of state as long as you’re Mormon and don’t break the “code of conduct” aka don’t have sex, be queer, drink, smoke, dress “immodestly”, color your hair unnatural colors, or have a beard if you’re a dude.
And dressing immodestly includes a high necked tank top or shorts above the knee lmao
I, very unfortunately, had to go to a private conservative christian college because it was work study and all I could afford and MAN is this bringing stuff back up for me🥴🥴 the amount of trauma I have from that place is fucking insane
commenting every time something strikes a nerve and the "honor code" is one of them💀💀 I had several friends kicked out for being gay and I was hiding in the closet for dear life
literally the people at my school could not have dressed gayer if they tried but were adamantly "hate the sin love the sinner"💀💀💀
If y'all want to know waaaaay more about BYU and the mormon church than you ever needed to know, may I suggest Jordan and McKay? They're ex-mos and it is all way more weird than you'd think lmao
Sarah’s hair is so long and magical
I’m ex-Mormon and the reason they’re pretending to be less homophobic is because people are leaving in droves. They’re building temples like crazy and being more lax about things to entice the members to stay and to put on the illusion that they are thriving. It’s sad.
It’s also to prey on the LGBTQIA+ community.
I would look into spiritual secularism, all the benefits of the routine and healing of religion, but not hate, no judgments and no Big Guy
Sarah always has really great commentary on religion but Kendahl also saying that “you think god is stupid” by barely skirting all the rules. It gives perspective and ways to push back against people trying to force religion on you.
soaking is wilddd
the special guest sounds like the anxious shrimp from shark tale peace and love
Gay stoner here Sarah let’s be friends 🙋🏽♀️
Mormons actually scare me
BYU-Bring Your Uterus
Omg premier time😁🫶🏼

I'm sorry, "brigham young" bring em young?👁️👄👁️

Helps my meltdowns and chronic pain eeeeepic
Yeas
Hi sorry But u just gotta cover Colleen, fate would have it you happened to just do Shane. I’m brown with a dead dad please at least for me
Mormons actually do have their own Bible The Book of Mormon.
I think most people who go are Mormon but some aren’t and go cause BYU has some really good like music programs and stuff 👀
A lot of people grow up Mormon and go for the cheap tuition fully planning to leave the church immediately after getting their diploma (not after graduation because the school can still mess with you for worthiness all the way up until they give you your diploma)
But even if you’re not Mormon you have to keep the Honor Code and attend a church regularly I think. Although I’ve heard athletes literally do whatever they want hahaha
As a religious person, I still don’t understand how those people choose to be such imbeciles in today’s society.
I wanna know what happened between brittany and Sarah so bad
Soaking is insane I have to tell everyone I know
Wait until you hear about ATMing
What’s ATMing
@@momac1871please enlighten us omg
