  Speaker 1: It's often said that people of Utah speak a language
• 0:10
  all their own. It's a language that's often confusing and
• 0:13
  even incomprehensible to newcomers here in the Beehive State. So
• 0:17
  Radio from Hell presents a handy guide to help everyone
• 0:21
  understand how the natives speak. It's the Utah word of
• 0:24
  the day, and today's.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Word is well, there are several Utah words in today's presentation.
• 0:30
  As Denver talks to his father, the mayor of Mona, Utah,
• 0:33
  Don Kriddle, about the famous Clement Moore Christmas poem A
• 0:36
  visit from Saint Nicholas.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Hey, Daddy, yeh, I got some questions about Christmas and
• 0:43
  about Fanny Claus.
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I already told you, son, Santa Claus will not
• 0:48
  bring you a bump stock for Christmas, no matter how
• 0:51
  many letters you send him.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, I'm over that, daddy. But I do have some
• 0:55
  questions about this whole Fanny Claus thing in general. So
• 0:59
  I've reading this the night before Christmas? Now, how can
• 1:03
  this be true? First off, it says that them kids
• 1:05
  was in bed with visions of sugar plums dancing in
• 1:08
  the head. What's a sugar plumbing? How can they dance?
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: Well, son, you see it's like this. Back in the day,
• 1:16
  they didn't have all of that nice candy that you had.
• 1:21
  The kids just had plums and they dipped them in
• 1:24
  sugar to make them seem like they was canny. As
• 1:28
  to the dancing port, I don't know.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Okay, okay, Well, so dad in the dad in this point,
• 1:36
  who's wearing some kind of cap, tore us up the
• 1:39
  curtains and sees this little miniature Sandy Claus miniature, and
• 1:43
  slay and eight tiny reindeer and stuff, and they womp
• 1:47
  upon the roof of the house. So is Sandy Claus
• 1:51
  like a little person because down to the mall he's
• 1:53
  a full size adult.
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: Well, I think he has to use his magical powers
• 1:57
  to make himself little to get it down the chimney.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Mm okay, well how about this. It says here the
• 2:05
  stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
• 2:08
  and the smoke encircled his head like a wreath. Sandy
• 2:12
  Claus is a smoke or daddy, he's going against the
• 2:15
  lord if he's a smoker.
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: Son, I don't think it was tobacco. I think that
• 2:20
  pipe had had medicine in it. It was it was
• 2:23
  medicinal smoke that encircled his head.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: Oh he had a pipe full of that stuff from
• 2:27
  the dispensary. Oh well, that makes some sense. Then now
• 2:31
  it says he puts his finger on his nose, and
• 2:34
  then up the chimney he floats. Is that like a
• 2:37
  hallucination or something?
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: That's right, son, That's how he works to get presents
• 2:42
  to the whole world.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: All right, I think I'm gonna go write one more
• 2:46
  letter to him and see if I can't get that
• 2:49
  bump stock.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: After all, Join us again some other time as we
• 2:55
  examine how the Utah natives speak with the Utah word
• 2:58
  of the day
