I remember that story, it might've been back towards the Hey Florida era?

Jonathan is very cool but he is also very dumb about many things.

he's also disarmingly good at playing dumb, but only SOME of the time

Fantasizing about Jah not being exactly as he is, is some foolishness. UYD exists as it is solely due to the interaction between the hosts - if either were any different, the show would be unrecognizable.

I laughed really hard the other day at Jah's insta when he was saying the twitch stream was going to be the 7th, then it was delayed to the 8th, then it was delayed to the 9th, and maybe delayed once more? It didn't seem like there was a reason other than he decided to do other things and it just so perfectly is a Jah moment.


Paraphrasing from 837: "if any thing I've learnt from doing this show, because it's not in my nature, is that people do appreciate the frequency and reliability of that stuff ... more so than I probably do, myself ..."

A lot of podcasts take a little clip from each episode and release that on youtube. They're way more share-able than a one hour podcast. UYD could always be doing things in a more efficient way, but that's just not really how this podcast operates.

It was weird. With say entourage. That is exactly the type of show I would expect seth ripping to pieces if it was brought up normally.

Ads just don't feel right for some reason. Anyway it doesn't really matter now. They are making loads of money from patreon right?

12k a month, pretty high but not not in the top tier of podcasts - #94 according to graphtreon. Probably totally livable if you're smart - some of the other high earning shows have larger casts or crew. We Hate Movies is 4 people, Chapo Trap House is 5 + Producer.

For some reason I have it in my head that Jah doesn't take as large of a cut as Seth because in his own words "I've been lucky to never have to really worry about money", but there's also Jeff (I think that's his name?) that films, and I'm not sure how many others?

I guess Laroquette Sr. money is very good. It kinda sounded like Jah was thanking the patrons explicitly for Seth’s lifestyle in the recent ep. Seth does do a lot more research and likely needs the money more.

well it could've worked out if they used the same model as everyone else does with one free and one premium ep every week

being normal was never an option
