Anyone know about how many regular listeners they have?

Someone told me earlier in the thread it was about 50,000 downloads an ep.

I really wish I could pick up some of this new merch but I'm broke as a joke right now. Worst part is I know everything I want will be sold out for the foreseeable future. That's ok UYD, I'll catch you next time.

Has the awesome UYD bumper sticker been discontinued? That's the one I'd really love to have.

I really wanted the old Anchor shirt, really sad they aren't doing more of those.

edit: is 50k downloads a week a lot? I figured they weren't doing great podcast numbers because they haven't done ads in years.

I remember seeing the triangle UYD logo (the one that was on the challenge coin, and such) on a shirt at one point. I would've loved to get one of them, but I think they stopped selling them before i got turned on to uyd

Ohh yeah I forgot, didn't they advertise Entourage once or twice? I wonder what happened with that. What's funny is a long time later I remember them talking poo poo about the show.

I haven't seen available on the site in forever, so I ended up buying one here http://www.cafepress.com/+uyd_sticker_oval,215417214. Do Seth and Jah somehow get a cut of this? Even if they don't, still, free advertising!

They must've had something with HBO since they also advertised Summer Heights High for about 4 episodes.

The filmed episodes were done by HBO, I think after the success of the Ricky Gervais Show cartoon HBO were looking for podcasts to turn into television shows so were working with UYD for a bit as kind of a test run. To be honest as Gervais is a fan of the show I wouldn't be suprised if he turned them on to UYD.

I think a UYD TV show would be enough for me to subscribe to cable just to watch it. But since that was all the way back at ep. 100, I'm guessing they've since passed on the idea.

They could just release animated shorts like that fan made one and I'd watch it. They have enough back catalogue to last 6 seasons and a movie at least.

Edit: Just like the Ricky Gervais Show, yeah.

It would be so great, but they do talk a lot of shirt about the south/Florida unapologetically, so it'll probably never happen.

I love Seth's movie rants so much because I can only ever imagine him yelling these rants in the middle of a dark movie theater.

"There are no sharks coming, you're in the loving tank where they shot Titanic. In like, Mexico. I saw you in a Tropicana commercial. This movie SUCKS."

Whoa, 50,000 is a lot more than I thought.

I just got to Episode 126, where they're talking about the 18 year old girl with cancer who introduced the 65 year old dude next to her also undergoing chemo to the show, and he loved it and they both bonded over it. The girl had texted to let them know the guy had passed away :smith:

Yeah, Jah's been making the songs go longer and longer too. They used to just play in the background quietly as they started talking pretty much straight up, now there like 3min before they actually start.

Yeah I used to just skip the songs, but now I listen to them because they're pretty good and kinda help you get in the UYD mindset as you imagine jah picking this song, but I did kind of prefer them starting up like maybe 5-10 seconds into the song. I think the only reason there wasn't music this time was because jah got caught up trying to fix the audio issues, which only popped up once or twice this time, but I wonder what the hell it is.

Saw someone asking for it earlier in the thread and saw no response http://uhhyeahdude.com/media/ Interviews at the bottom of the page, one of them has a lengthy description of why Seth doesn't talk in the restaurant.

Also, is anyone else slightly irked by Seth's fake laugh that he's used for the last while now?

I also found no mention of the restaurant, but at least one of the interviews produced this gem:

quote:

And what comes out of [The HBO Sponsorship]?

Jah: About $400 each per month.

Sethro: We don’t discuss figures. What comes out of it? Can I tell you what comes out of it? Being associated with HBO. Which has more Emmy nominations in the last 10 years than any other loving network. That’s what comes out of it, Patrick.

I recently put one of my favorite UYD clips ever onto YouTube. It's from ep. 21, in which Jah reads a list of hunting shows. The first time I heard it I was gasping for air from laughing so much:

If this can't convince newer listeners to dip back into the old episodes, I don't know what will.

I'm sure I listened to this at some point but it doesn't strike me as very funny unless you're already vegetarian/anti-hunting/like to paint all hunters with a broad "redneck" brush (which is the type of thing the show's usually fairly good at avoiding). I think it's kind of lazy compared to their usual style of humor. That is a lot of hunting shows, though.

No, 'John' isn't short for anything, but 'Jon' is a common diminutive of 'Jonathan'.

Personally I love the intro songs, even if I don't actually "like" the song. As you said it gets you into the UYD mindset and it's how they want the episode to be heard so I never skip 'em.

I usually give the song like 30 seconds to see if it's something I might like and then fast forward if it's not. I'm not going to sit through 2-3 minutes of a annoying hip hop song.

It's been my general observation that the outro song is always better than the intro song. The one a few weeks back reminded how great a song return of the mack was.
