I absolutely love that the show is now on KZbin with video. I’ve been listening since the beginning and I am a huge fan but watching it is even sweeter. Thanks yall.

As a member of the LDS church I appreciate how Jon can approach the religion with levity and openness and how Pete provides a safe non judgmental space and is willing to learn. Cool interview!

This was really candid and super fun to watch. Great job, Pete!

[@kevinchristensen8785]

This is so cool to see the LDS religion being discussed so openly mainstream. No agenda just a genuine conversation. Pete Holmes is really cool for that.

[@Leviajohnson]

I served in Oregon. Very fun to listen to this from home in slc. I’ve always thought it would be cool to talk to Pete about this stuff

Wasnt about you.... dont make it about you. LOL

[@waventures855]

This was a great interview! Thank you.

[@InnaVitamina777]

This podcast just blew my dome! Napoleon Dynamite started as an assistant and John is Mormon AND a twin?! Now THATS real. Thank you Thank you!!♡

[@Gnarcos]

Grew up in a very mixed catholic/Mormon town and this brought me back the high school days hanging with my LDS friends lol

[@MikeP2055]

This was fascinating to watch. As a 44 year old man (like Heder) from Salt Lake City, UT, who grew up culturally Mormon but spiritually agnostic, there were SO MANY times I wished I could have chimed in, ha! Not to refute anything John said or get argumentative or anything, just to add one more perspective to the Mormonism lesson. I can't stand religions. I think they're incredibly interesting and historically significant, but ridiculous. That said, YMIW has softened my obnoxious hardline atheist attitude SO MUCH over the years. I love love love what Pete said about how God is in everyone and it's possible to use that energy/force/light -- whatever you want to call it -- to make life on earth a little more heavenly. ✌️

[@luciferianjesuslover9453]

Totally agree. Have a great day and keep that spiritual hunger alive!

[@mikesimmons6703]

Yep, born and raised in Utah and was devout for 46 years. When he said “Mormons don’t murder people” I wanted to jump in and remind them that Brigham Young ordered the genocide of the Timpanogos tribe after they helped the pioneers survive the first couple years. But you know, whatever.

[@melissaelliott2966]

Would love for you to listen to some Ray Comfort. He does a great job of guiding atheists to agnosticism and then quickly shows us our need for a savior. We're all imperfect and we all need to be redeemed by God.

[@poindextertunes]

[@roberts1572]

Pete needs every word he says to be funny. I love him.

The air in north Utah is bad because the mountains create a bowl so it traps pollution. But Dam they're beautiful!! YOU DON'T KNOW SKINWALKERS!? 🤣🤣

I live in the Avenues and my balcony looks out across the entire valley. Those long, cold, toxic-air winter months are THE WORST. You've never appreciated snowstorms so much in your life until they've cleared the air and allowed you to see the sun for the first time in three weeks, haha.

“I was the Corey Haim to his Charlie Sheen, you know Lucas?” Eek, must not have kept up with the news on ‘that tale’. Lol love this episode, great show

[@Na9rawi87]

You can feel that Jon has never talked about his youth in public he seemed so excited and relaxed. No judging and no laughing he found someone shared the same experience.

Apparently as the Great Salt Lake dries there is a plume of dangerous dust that is literally toxic to inhale.

[@MikeP2055]

Indeed. It isn't catastrophic as of yet, and thank Mormon Jesus we've had a somewhat rainy summer (that's just a joke, btw. Mormons believe in the same Jesus as everyone else), but one rainy season won't undo years of drought. I was once hiking up on top of Black Mountain, straight east of the GSL and immediately adjacent to the Salt Lake Valley, and watched as winds kicked up and blew dust from the exposed lake bed next to Antelope "Island" (it hasn't been an island for years) directly into Bountiful, a town just north of SLC. Evidently the dust from the lake bed has arsenic and all sorts of shit in it, as the Great Salt Lake has no outlet. I forget the name of these types of lakes, but whatever flows into them stays in them. Sorry for nerding out on ya.

[@zanec814]

Great podcast

[@DOLfirst]

Aluminum cans are lined with plastic

[@ligairi]

15:03 There’s no way Jon doesn’t know Michael B. Mike Birkeland was in major Mormon movies when Jon was in college and starting out as an actor. I think this is actually a diss bc Mike has said that the Deiderich Bader character in Nappy D was based on a character created by him. Mike was in Mormon movies like the Singles Ward and The Home Teachers. Church Ball? I’ve never heard of a movie called Mormon Game Night.

[@Aelffwynn]

I don't love the idea that somehow it's okay if missionaries don't really effectively serve the community they're supposed to be serving. Why go as a missionary, then, as if you're the one with anything to teach? Just go as a guest. Be humble and try to learn. That's what I did as a young adult traveling. If it's for the missionaries and not the communities, why have the missions like that at all? Wouldn't seminary and then separate travel make more sense?

[@leebrock4783]

Agreed, we should all do some form of "abroad". The LDS version of that is bs and a waste of money.

I've been waiting for SO LONG for an LDS guest. Pete gets SO CLOSE to getting it, but there's still that 10% that he's not tithing that gets me yelling like a ghost as I listen...even though I peacefully left the Church about 5 years ago. Listening to Pete and Val talk about this episode still had me screaming "Pete! Yes they do!" when he was saying things like "I know the LDS believe this, but they don't believe [something the LDS actually do believe but Pete doesn't know they believe it] (specifically modern PERSONAL revelation).

The Mormon chat was nauseating. Let's talk about Brigham Young and his 55 wives. Or Joseph Smith and his 40 wives, 2 of which were 14 (Helen Mar Kimball and Nancy Winchester). How about the Mountain Meadows Massacre? How about Warren Jeffs? Not to mention Mormon's views on black people.

Well if the lesson is just "be nice to Mormons" then maybe that's okay, lol. Definitely not the podcast host who would get into the intently shitty nature of Mormonism. Pete's MO is definitely to try and be as understanding and welcoming as possible. I'm sure he's not ignorant of the shitty side

it’s such a gross mindset. it’s like how married people look at single people like “aww, we need to help them find someone.” that’s why they teach “close your heart,” it’s ‘don’t fall in love with the locals/savages,” but, like, doesn’t god want you to have your heart open,like, all the time? napoleon also called the indigenous people of america, indians, i thought we were past that by now?

[@shaggydude1313]

@@thejigmire1453 Yes we should use 'native Americans' or just 'native persons', but "we" as a collective of Americans are sadly not passed it yet. He should know better, but he's also maybe surrounded by people who always use 'indian', unfortunately:(

[@nopulpapple991]

But it’s a reality for those that grow up in that culture, especially when you’re a young adult. They’re just explaining what their upbringing was like. It has nothing to do with justifying missionary work Clearly Pete and Jon became independently minded and creative people. I think the message is just to remember that when missionaries come to your door, they’re still young and impressionable and just want a real interaction. I say this growing up in a secular humanist tradition. I’m pretty anti-church or skeptical of church-like institutions
