Utah AF Jake & Jill

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!

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 too harsh, they're just a little rusty.

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

-MLB team with a shoutout to whoever did this

-Bonus: rendering of potential stadium

-Jill's 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.

Jake and Jill offer some New Years resolutions for Utah:

-Why do they use "lady" for women's sports teams?

- RIP to Anita Pointer

- Jake and Jill conjure up a great Saved by the Bell/ Showgirls mix-up episode

- Resolutions for Utah drivers

-Resolution for Washington County

- Ghyllliaeghnn has a suggestion for new Utah baby names

- A censored resolution for Utah politicians

Jake & Jill emerge from their Summer sabbatical to catch up with their old pal Utah!

-There is still time to vote on the design for Utah's new state flag.

-Hopefully the final design does not have a beehive pooping out a star, or any beehive.

- An update on the Utes and Jazz (RIP).

- A thoughtful discussion on the geopolitical relationship between Bangladesh and Turkiye.

- Jake HATES 30 in their 30s celebrations and has a better idea for honoring people in their work.

- Jill is tasked with adding a poo emoji to an obituary.

- Embarrassment over the past is a sign of growth

- Jake won the lottery! to climb Half Dome in.. another state.

J & J are taking some R & R, so we're reposting an older episode you may have missed. It's always fun to listen to topical episodes a couple years later..
