HELLLLLOOOOO Utah AF Fam!

This weekend, Jill had the opportunity to guest host on the The Church of Fabulosity podcast, with Minster Lala. National Coming Out Day is coming up, and we’re going to hear his story, and we’re also going to hear a little bit of Jill’s own story. It was truly a pleasure and honor to be a part of the podcast. We can’t wait for you to hear it! Stay tuned….

Jake and Jill visit the Color Festival in Spanish Fork on March 31. This event is always held the last weekend in March, and is the largest Holi Festival outside of India! (we fact-checked it).

Future Color Festivals:
Ogden June 1 2024
SLC June 8 2024

Fun fact: no explicit label on this episode! It's a year of firsts (granted, the episode is only like 10 minutes).

Jake & Jill are still on hiatus but they stop by to give a quick update; and what was supposed to be an ode to SLC turned into a verbal essay on courtesy flushes. Don't be to harsh, they're just a little rusty.

It’s that time of year again…it’s Jake’s birthday! Time to post pics of us together dating back to 2003.

I met Jake just before 09/11/2001…I remember driving around after the towers fell, and he made a joke about that awful Lee Greenwood song, “Proud To Be An American,” and I knew we were going to be best friends for life. I mean, I tried to date for like 3 months, but meh…we have more of a brother/sister relationship now, and know how to make each other laugh until it hurts.

Happy birthday JakeyPie! Thanks for being my bestie for so long…most people can’t tolerate me for more than 5 minutes…tops.

Utah is abuzz (heh) with the news that SLC is in the running to get a Major League Baseball team. This potential team will need a good nickname but let's be honest: our state (with the exception of the Utes) has an awful track record with choosing team nicknames. Therefore, Jake and Jill propose a name for the baseball team, and propose new names for everyone else:

-Utah State

-Bonus: rendering of potential stadium

-Jill wants a GoFundMe for Botox

-Weber State

-UVU

-BYU (reluctantly)

-Utah Tech (SUU, you're good)

-Utah Jazz

We forgot to mention the worst name in all of Utah sports: Real Salt Lake. Such a blatant ripoff of a more prominent sports club. Give us some ideas of what we should rename them to.

There is a hidden clip at the end.. you should definitely stay tuned 😁
