“You know, there's what's called, you know, we call it young men's president. And we had a guy named Ron Campbell, who was our, like, he was an older man who had a business. And for one hour, the young man would meet with him and we'd have lessons.”

“Specific things that it says that you can do, which is like to bless the sick. And basically it's an organization, you know, I can't go through all the, you know, the setup of it, but every Sunday we have church, and there's three hours, Mormon church is three hours. The first hour is what is called the sacrament meeting, where all the congregation meets together. And the main purpose of that meeting is to remember Christ, to have the bread, have the water. And there's no paid ministry in the church. Everybody's volunteer. So the bishop of the ward, or what you might know as like the priest or the whatever, the guy who's up at the pulpit in charge, he's a volunteer. He might be a dentist or an accountant or whatever. And he has a calling to serve in the bishopric for anywhere from three to five years. And then he's released and then he becomes a regular member of the church. So there's different teachers. And for the 12 to 16 year old,”

“Not ironic. Yeah, the priesthood of Aaron, the Aaronic Priesthood. But at that early age, you start to serve the sacrament, like the bread and water to remember Christ and his body and his sacrifice. And then, you know,”

“It's all okay. So, like in the belief that you can receive the power of God, which is called the priesthood. And, you know, it might be for many church that you go, you kind of, you know, you reach certain levels. So at 12 years old, you receive the ironic priesthood. And when you receive that, then you can do things like service. The priesthood of God, we believe, is only for the service of men.”

“You know, it's so hard in hindsight to think about your childhood because you have such a skewed perspective of it, and it's weird to look back on it later. But I felt like my parents weren't super passionate about it. They knew it was right, and I feel like they felt an obligation as parents to do what was right for your kids. And that was to go to church. And in many ways, I'm very grateful because there was so much that I learned, for instance, was my young men's president, like from the age of like 12 to 16 in the more mature, you know, you're in this thing called young men's. And he was like a pillar of like who I wanted to become in life. There are men like that that I have met through the Mormon Church that I have been like, I want to be like that guy.”

“Specifically in the church. And then I was as well. I was born in Logan, Utah, nineteen eighty, march fifth, nineteen eighty, Pisces as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In fact, I was born in the hospital that was 50 feet across the street from the Mormon temple, the Logan, Utah Temple. And yeah, kind of was raised in that, going to scouts, going to church. You know, we weren't super, you know, like mom and dad, if there was like a playoff game, if the jazz were playing, we might miss, you know. We definitely went. And I don't...”

“Correct. Yeah, so my grandfather, Colonel Eugene Haines Butler, he was in the United States Air Force, told us many stories about Vietnam and Napalm and the power of that gas. He was born just Christian and was kind of searching for something and was in Germany, stationed in Germany, I can't remember what year, but ended up finding some Mormon missionaries there. The name of the church is officially the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but the nickname Mormons comes from the Book of Mormon, which thanks to Trey and Matt have popularized that book quite a bit. If you've heard about the play on Broadway, The Book of Mormon. So, you know, that's kind of like a nickname, the Mormons. But yeah, I was raised because my grandpa was baptized in Germany and started practicing. And then he raised his family. My dad”

“My very first YouTube channel that I started in 2007 on a little $500 Dell laptop that I bought at 27 because I figured I'm an adult now I should get a computer and do adult things. And so yeah, it was not, and I say this too about Shaytard's, the main channel that we have. It wasn't my best marketing decision. It was all kind of like discovery as it happened, right? I didn't think like, oh, I'm going to have 4.3 million subscribers one day. What's a good name to have? I just thought.”

“Email account. And for some reason, I think it's because of college. When I went to ISU, Idaho State University in southeastern Idaho, GOBANGLES, you had to like have a student log in, right? And it was like your first letter of your first name and then like the last four letters of your last name. So I always kind of figured that's how you had to name yourself on the internet. It's just like your name. So I'm like, I'll just call myself Sheikharl. That's my first and middle name. And I just kind of push them together. Sheikh Carl at hotmail. Do not email me. I do not check that email anymore. And that was my very first account. SheaCharl at hotmail.com. So when I started my YouTube channel, I thought, well, I don't know what a good username is. Maybe I'll just use my email name. You know, Shay Carl, that's my name. Why not? So that was my very first moniker on the internet was youtube.com slash Shay Carl.”
