I turned my friend onto UYD about 5 months ago, and he's on episode 62 for his second run through. He texted me this today:

"07.09.2013 12:44AM.
I had the craziest UYD dream ever. I had to keep walking to the hospital with Jonathon's voice telling me in my head what I needed to do. Once I got there spiders would crawl all over me and I would get bitten and die. Instead of waking up I would wake up in the dream and have to walk to the hospital again. But every time I would die there would be a new sheet of paper posted on the door to my house. I didn't know what it meant at first but once I gathered enough of them they started to form Seth's face with the word seat belts written in blood red letters. On my final walk to the hospital a car drove by. Seth and Johnathon were in it. They swerve and hit a tree. I run to their car to see if they are ok. They both seem fine but their seta belts were cut. Seth grabs me and whispers "our seat belts…." Then I get warped back home the Seth face poster starts on fire and I try to escape but I am locked into my bed by seat belts holding me in. I burn alive and then I wake up."

I wanna fix it up then do it as a dramatic reading to the voicemail, because it is loving golden.

Listening to this latest ep, it's occurred to me, like one person pointed out already on this page, that this podcast is probably one of the most evergreeen ones on the internet. They're so reliably and sustainably on point, that I feel like the only way to tell what year we're talkin is what social media platform they're espousing on the ep.

I listened to 379 like four times, and feel like it would be a good ep to put on a "start here" list. It's got everything to from great Seth impressions to Jonathan feeling awesome about not road raging at a WW2 vet in recent memory.

Yeah that episode was the best in awhile, I listened to it multiple times as well. Maybe that's why Jonathan chose that fresh Jogger intro. 380 time. :snoop:

I listened to episode 1 during a jog yesterday, and once again came away thinking "How did they nail this right off the bat?" The humor and and energy is consistent with the subsequent 379 episodes, and the only differences are the world they're living in (MySpace is still THE social networking site) and the state of their lives (One of the things that really jumped out at me was Jonathan mentioning he just got a big screen HDTV, HD TiVo, the works. Within 2 years he will have none of these things and can't even be bothered to watch TCaP.)

I will say, when Jonathan gets on mic to give the date and episode info at the beginning, he seems shaky and a little nervous. That's pretty much the only sign that this is the first real episode, because as soon as Seth speaks for the very first time it's with the same clear, confident energy he starts every show with. Jonathan is also quick to recover, with no hesitation after that first minute or so.

They did do two practice episodes that they didn't release until later when they had to have material to fill in a short break of no new eps. I can't remember how those were.

Yeah, Jonathan references that at the start of the episode - "This is episode...4? 1? 4?" They did a 90 minute one, a 30-40 minute one and finally a third that was the standard hour and change runtime, which I don't think they've released yet. Even those "practice" episodes have the same kind of assured poise to them.

:psyduck: Trying to wrap my head around a news report that leads off with a clip of them talking about PissMops.

This reminds me of when they were discussing the teenage girl who said "oval office" twice on the Today show when she was giving an honest answer to the host's question. The American media can't even use the same language as the people ("The children, even!") who live in it to talk about what's happening in this country. The NZ anchor says the content is going to be "colorful" and that's enough of a warning for the viewer at home before they open up, meanwhile this single 3 and a half minute piece would garner an unbelievable amount in FCC fines from a US broadcast.

3 news is kinda targeted towards a younger audience like 20s-30s and that's the late news which is on at like 10:30 so they get away with a bit. I've seen flaccid dicks and short clips of porn on there before. You probably wouldnt see pissmops or cock hungry str8 bros on the 6 o clock news.

Oh for sure, I don't think they embellish their stories at all. I meant warped in the sense that I could put on CNN or whatever US news channels we get here or I can put on UYD and get the kind of news that isn't broadcasted so widely.

Seths pre-pro for the off-the-wall news items is really impressive. I want to see the UYD closet that he mentioned in the WTF interview. If they want to make money and are still going in 5-10 years I've always thought they could release a fan package similar to the Prince one they make fun of in some episode way back. It was lined with purple silk or something?
Say $100 or more for boxed collection of copies of Seth's notes, the full unedited footage from the 120-130 HBO episodes plus whatever else he must have stashed away. It's a bit ridiculous for a podcast but if any podcast has the fans who would pay for it I think UYD does.
