Latter-day Saint Commentary from the Pacific Northwest - Rocky Mountain Sunshine Podcast

Mayberry with Mat Hyder - Ep. 53

Listen Later
  • Today is a special episode where I have a guest. I have my good friend Mat Hyder joining me over zoom!  As an introduction, Mat was a former neighbor and ward member when I lived in Highland, Utah. We served in a bishopric together.
  • He is a wonderful father who will soon have a missionary heading out.
  • He is a pediatric nurse at Primary Children’s Hospital. He would visit often when my son Xavier was up at Primary Children’s for several months.
  • Mat recently started a podcast that has nothing to do with medicine and has everything to do with Mayberry.
  • He is also a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
  • It’s a fun episode, so without any further delay, let’s get into it!

    • Welcome to the Show Mat Hyder!

    • It’s great to have you on and even better just to have the opportunity to catch up!
    • Mat and I were neighbors in Highland Utah, and Mat still lives in Highland and is probably trying to repair all the damage that I did.
    • Isn’t it crazy how much the world has changed even since I lived there in Highland?
    • We didn’t zoom much unless it was you zooming by on your motorcycle.
    • So I was trying to think when was it that you moved into the ward in Highland?  Oh yeah…
    • Well, I’m jumping the gun here. We’ll get into your podcast later, but first let’s get to know Mat. Let’s take it back a twitch.
    • You talk about this a lot on your podcast but tell us about where you grew up.
    • Where do you fit in with your siblings?
    • Were you raised in the Church?
    • What was it like growing up outside of Utah and being a member of The Church?
    • Were you always active?
    • Do you think it’s harder or easier for kids to grow up in the Church in Utah or outside of Utah?
    • How is it that you became such a big fan of John Denver?
    • I was guessing that you were leaving on a jet plane, you didn’t know when you would be back again. Or maybe you were heading to a country road, to take you home, you noticed some sunshine on your shoulder and thought, I should look up this John Denver guy!
    • And now you are here, with little rocky mountain sunshine on your shoulders. Does it make you happy?
    • I had the John Denver Christmas album with the Muppets.
    • He was on with the muppets a little too often. I think he may have been a muppet who just went solo.
    • Did you ever see him in concert?
