A while back I started listening to UYD at episode 1, and the other day I got to 139, where Jonathan is drinking an alcoholic beverage he called an “Old Knob Slob.” This is where you drink about a quarter of an Olde English 40 and then pour in a Bartles & James strawberry daiquiri. I love lovely alcohol, so by the end of the episode I knew I'd have to give it a go (and somehow I didn't even know wine coolers were still a thing. I always associated them with middle aged women in like 1993). Anyhow, I'm having one now and it's crazy wrong, but awesome. If you spent your formative years in punk houses getting shitrocked on the cheapest booze that probably helps.

139 is also the episode that birthed Schneer and Letern, which is one of the best moments.

I'd never seen TCAP before but after the UYD segments I looked up a ton of them on youtube and felt like I was probably put on some kind of government watch list. The cat episode was so unbelievable that I told someone about it irl and they were like, "why the gently caress were you watching some kind of bestiality pede show? Are you cool?"

No. No I'm not.

Now that I'm caught up with the back catalog and listening to new eps as they happen, there's something weird that I have to ask about. On the RSS feed it says the latest one was posted on April 4th, but it only showed up for me today, and I've been regularly checking for a new one. Same with the update on the website, that also only just showed up for me. This happens every time a new one comes out. Is this normal or do I exist in some UYD time hole?

Everything else seems to be working okay



vvvvvv I see, thanks. Although it wouldn't kill Jonathan to be quicker on the upload.

That's the TCAP that took place in my home town. That was one of the most surreal couple hours of television I've ever watched. That house was right next door to this one my friend's dad was building at the time.

Out of the ones I've seen I think Fort Myers might be the craziest. My favorite part of that screencap is how the YouTube thumbnail is the censored-for-TV naked dude charging into the house in full boner rage, looking for the girl and her cat. Even Mock Turtleneck was particularly disgusted. "Blowing your cat?! What happened to a single red rose and a half-empty bottle of Bacardi Sour Apple, two straws?"

Yeah, the current title is off putting. I actually slept on this show way earlier because of it. (A year or more?)

Same. It's super funny and fitting now that I get the context, but I avoided UYD for ages because this is the first place I'd heard of it and "no gay poo poo" totally mislead me about the vibe of the show.

"UYD: America through the eyes of two American Americans" and "UYD: Saving America from herself" sum up the show without being off-putting to new listeners or too in-jokey to make sense. A lot of the ones that have been posted are awesome, though.

I think my favorite slogan is "I wanna know more about this sodomy," but I don't think it will attract anyone who already skipped over the thread due to "No gay poo poo."

I texted Jonathan about it today, but haven't heard back. I'm not super expecting to; he's probably been inundated with messages after giving out the # after the last show (my phone rang 2 minutes after I sent it and I about had a heart attack, but it wasn't him, haha).

I was looking at the merch website and the design on the bag is fantastic, but they don't give any dimensions for it. Is it a decent size? Like if I go to the store, how many cucumbers are going to fit into that thing?

Man, 416 was a weak ep. The show starts to lose my attention whenever Jonathan goes off on rambling tangents, and this devolved into that hardcore. Like, sure dude, I totally get you about big companies and cellphones and whatever else, but hearing you go off is dead not funny.

flesh dance
May 6, 2009



I don't know the specifics but there is an issue where the sheer amount of UYD reached critical mass and the entirety could no longer be contained on itunes. Jonathan mentioned wanting to sort it out, but that was a while ago and, y'know, Jonathan. :shobon:

Podcast Alley still has all the old eps up, though: http://www.podcastalley.com/podcast_details.php?pod_id=20249&allEpisodes=

I don't remember this, what was the story?

I had to look this up because I couldn't remember anything sounding remotely like a rape admission (jfc) from the archives, and it's from the segment on the essay Jonathan wrote about going to Mexico when he was 15. When he's describing what actually went down he mentions being hosed up on coco-puffs and when the dirty Mexican porn was on he projector he got so horny he grabbed a girl and they had crazy terrible sex. I highly doubt by using "grabbed" he literally meant he grabbed her and forced her into having sex, more like it's just how he worded the story. There's zero evidence that she wasn't also caught up in it/didn't reciprocate his advance. Seth's later reference to it as "a coked-up sexual assault" is throwing the event out of proportion for comedic effect*

*not that there's anything comedic about sexual assault, obviously, but I don't think that is what happened**

**anyhow you get what I mean***

But yeah, I don't think he meant "grabbed and forcefully had sex with" either.

btw my arguing that Jah was probably cool was meant for the poster with the initial complaint, I didn't assume you agreed with them or anything by asking. I could've worded that better :)

Wait, wait, wait. I thought the "n-word" thing you mentioned seemed out of character so I was going to reserve judgment until the ep dropped, but you never said anything about it being part of rap-song-of-the-week. :colbert:

Ahaha I just happened to relisten to that ep like the day before yesterday; it's 423 during the craigslist segment and starts around 9:35, I just checked. I remember it clearly because it made me crack the gently caress up walking down the street.

Man I wish they were more consistent with listing song names. I tried everything to figure out the outro to 394, but never had any luck (the intro song is totally labeled though, fantastic). if anyone's curious about a track you can always try posting here with a description, but I dunno how many people go out of their way to seek a specific point in a podcast they don't listen to

Pieces that were left out of shows for being too long probably should have stayed that way, or at least have been limited to one per episode. 469 was "Seth just reads a bunch of poo poo for an hour" so the natural funny banter that makes the show work didn't have a chance to take off and the show just dragged.

The best part of this is that the night before she posted pictures of them signing her arm with the caption 'I said I would do it, here is part 1' or something like that, and I was really hoping seeing the lovely placement and the lovely handwriting that it wasn't going to be this, but here we are.

I'm very surprised that Jonathan, having plenty of his own both good and bad tattoos didn't try to sway her nor use a fine tip sharpie.

No kidding. Double :yikes:
