I want to give UYD a shot but I just do not have the time to listen to 263 episodes of an hour long podcast. Are there any specific episodes that people here recommend or will listening to a few of the most recent ones work?

I disagree, not on the continuity part, but there was a sort of "golden age" of UYD when it was really, really good. I think it's been mentioned here but as I recall it's in the 90-130 area. Craig's House, This Week in Florida, Jah's Poetry, etc.

Do they keep doing these bits or do they change it up?

Do they keep doing these bits or do they change it up? Specifically I'm not sure exactly which bits they mention, or you mean, and I don't listen to Stern, but I think they organically landed on some things that a lot of people make sport of. I mean, GBS has their Craig's List threads, tons of people make fun of Florida because of the crazy poo poo that goes on there. "The Grapes of Rad" podcast actually takes it a bit further and declares Australia "The World's Florida". I think for them to say they were "ripped-off" would require some really specific evidence. From listening to a lot of podcasts you come to realize that a lot of them are reporting the same "weird news" stories that you see online. Everybody and their Mom had a segment about how the Segue Co. owner drove his Segue off of a cliff and died. It's all about how you spin it, and UYD has a certain sensibility to make it hilarious. Now, if Stern talked about meeting the oldest American, driving a blue Sundance, or climbing into bed with his parents while on LSD I'd be willing to say that it's a rip-off. Plus, Jah is a spoiled whiny baby. There, I said it.

Holy poo poo I just finished episode 89, and Seth and Jah get into a huge fight. It's like a 10 minute argument over adopting kids vs having a 'host womb' and Jah gets really pissed off. At one point he says something like "Seth if you seriously loving feel that way, I'm shutting this loving thing off and never doing another podcast." Hearing best friends get into a fight like that is goddamn painful.

Is that the argument they get into because of the carbon monoxide leak?

That's probably the only episode I won't ever listen to again. It really was like hearing your parents fight  And then the whole carbon monoxide leak thing gets out and it just turns into the biggest  ever. Seth dying after the biggest UYD row ever would have been beyond depressing.

Seth: Eh, I think we should probably end it.... J: I- what? Really, are you sure? S: Yeah, I mean...not really feeling it (or something similar) It's probably the only time I've ever heard Seth lose his enthusiasm, and he's basically 80% of the momentum of the show (since he prepares almost all of the news, songs, and games that both of them use.) At least the song lyrics were lovely enough to cheer them both up a little at the very end.

I've been going through UYD and I'm up to episode 8, and while it's not outrageously funny I can see how it might be, and so after each one ends I'm inclined to go to the next one, even if I didn't really laugh that much. They do have a good setup and back-and-forth game going on.

Seth and Jah losing their poo poo at the different things the guys on TCaP used to do is some of the show's finest moments.

piss posted:Uhh Yeah Dude is the only comedy podcast you will ever need. Well I realize that my love for other shows with semi-mainstream comedians is tangentially a desire to laugh and participate with the comedy crowd, ie "LOL! I can't believe [they] are sayin' this stuff! I know who that guy is, kinda!" and if they weren't well-known comedians that I follow like a weird family then it might not be QUITE as funny, but UYD is still growing on me, esp. what I assume to be southern california colloquialisms that don't reach it over here to the NH ("bone down," "a grip of...") even those make it funny.

In goon podcast news, I've created a YouTube channel for Those drat Ross Kids, and I'll be putting up bite-sized segments of our backlog, just in case you haven't been willing to commit to the full 45 minute episodes. http://www.youtube.com/thosedamnrosskids I'll echo the people who have been pumping Stuff You Should Know. They're very informative and entertaining. The nuclear meltdown episode is worth referring to your panic-stricken friends and family.

t3ch3 posted:The Kathleen Madigan episode has been my favorite since Dave Foley. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did because I didn't really like her special, but her road stories with Lewis Black are hilarious and the interview very quickly turns into just a fun conversation between her and Marc. I had to pause that episode because I could not stop laughing at her discussion of golfing with Lewis Black and Ron White. "Three million? My first ex-wife got a dryer! A DRYER!" I would also enjoy Judge John Hodgman more if it had a Jesse Thorn-ectomy. The only place I can tolerate Jesse Thorn is when he does random fantasy league picks on Sklarbro Country.

I've only heard Jesse Thorn on Sklarbro Country. Is that the way he talks all the time, with that yuk-yuk voice and delivery? It works for the fantasy expert bits with the Sklars, but I could see that getting really loving annoying in a hurry. It's like a blend of Neil Hamburger and Ryan Seacrest all way the gently caress amped up on SURGE!.

I use "bone down" almost exclusively now when referring to sex because of UYD. I actually listen to the episodes in reverse order, since when I started listening i started with the latest (somewhere round 223 at the time). The celeb stuff gets weirder every time for me because each episode tends to mention something that makes me go "wow, that was a huge story a year or two ago and I did not remember that at all". Also, I wish I could live Seth's luddite lifestyle. I hate my cell phone.

Just wanted to check in and say I started listening to your podcast about a month ago because of this thread, and it's pretty good so far! I like the more recent episodes because I feel like you guys are finding your groove. I liked the addition of the games, too.

So "How Did This Get Made" is hilarious, just half an hour of Paul Sheer, El Cunado, random funny chick and guests just ripping on really bad movies. Does anything similar exist for music by any chance?
