It doesn't come up very often, but Jah's insistence on calling things like Game of Thrones 'epic fiction' is really, really funny to me for some reason.

I always figured it was being it's being either respectful or slightly mocking of Amir. His enthusiasm for sci-fi and fantasy has been mentioned a few times, and how much Seth hates it.

"I'm trying to explain science to this loving kid, and he's talking about fuckin'...gremlins and epic fantasy. Like, 'Oh, when Bumbledorf came over the hill with Bramblebeans, and he had the Googlebottoms and their feet were all hairy...' I AM TALKING ABOUT REGENERATIVE loving MEDICINE, rear end in a top hat."

quote:

  • Jonathan claims to be a vegan but is often seen eating cheesy Dorito snacks and various fish.
  • Crackerjacks are the official snackfood of the podcast
  • Before moving to Los Angeles, Seth had a job as a mailman in his home state of Massachusetts. He was notorious for forgetting to pick up from particular mailboxes.
  • Seth has been romantically linked to Jennifer Aniston and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai

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

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.

As long as your hunting and tracking skills are superb, it is without a doubt worth starting from the beginning. That poem honestly made me cry.

I almost forgot just how much great stuff like JAH!nathan's Poetry are in the very early episodes. The Red Hot Chili Peppers "inspired" rap is one of my favorite bits in the show's entire history, primarily for Seth's reaction. Same for "Lunatic."

"Sorry I am giving you all this poo poo/But it just helps to write out whats going on in the mind of a lunatic."

They met when Seth was working at a video rental store, as I understand. In the late 90s?

Had to be post-2001, because the film that brought them together was Living Dolls: The Making of a Child Beauty Queen. Jonathan was in the store with a friend, he mentioned it to the clerk and Seth pulled his own copy out from behind the counter right then and there.

I grinned pretty hard the entire time Seth talked about taking Johnathan to all his old stomping grounds. I really want them to talk about that experience on both the live show and for shows afterwards, no way they can contain it all in one hour

They should make a full weekend of it and offer a UYD Haverhill walking tour. Take a bus out from Boston Saturday morning to visit the sleepy suburb where Seth's story began. See the apartment Marsha almost burned down with an errant boom nail, grab a slice at Papa Gino's, marvel at the convenience store where Seth used to play Galaga and swipe beers during the prime of his life.

I assume it is, but I don't think we ever got that picture they supposedly got with her, so who knows?

The real question is, what was the present that Seth got her for her birthday the next year when she was the oldest person alive? It gets a STRONG reaction from Jonathan, and then tells Seth not to reveal it and that he'll post a picture of it. To this day I can't imagine what it could have been.

We went to the bar next door afterwards and about 20 minutes later Jonathan rolled in so we got to chill with him some more, it was pretty rad. And he apparently stole a bunch of coronas from The 'Dise, which I thought was strange.

They were probably just taking too long to take his order. Remember, Jonathan copped to shoplifting small things when inconvenienced.

Also, random, but I think I've settled on my 'what episode should I listen to first?' episode: 127. It contains a ton of the video'd youtube clips that people tend to recommend here (Denny's New Slogan, one of the best 'Who's Parenting Harder' bits ever, some awesome craigshouse (shout about this cock!)) plus a bunch of other awesome bits too. Check it.

I introduced two friends to the show with that episode, completely by accident. It was the random episode I had picked for a long drive, and by the Denny's segment they were dying laughing. I got a little nervous when they started the Craig's House segment, thinking the new listeners might find it extreme (I mean that's PRIME Craig's House period,) but that naturally that was the part that had them laughing the hardest.

And on top of that, Seth's best bit calling Jonathan out as a fake vegan! "'I'm Vegan. gently caress Doritos, I'd never eat a Dorito.' I've seen you eat Doritos! 'It's an exception, I always give myself an exception. One...or two.'"

He wasn't calling Jah out, just someone he knew. Jah didn't stop being vegan for like two more years.

This was pre-Tuna (Tunee) eating. Seth calls Jonathan out on saying that he's a vegan but routinely eating cheese. "I've literally only eaten with this guy like three times in the last month, he's had cheese at all three meals."

Quite. Apparently they spent almost an hour in Jesse's house before Jordan showed up, and found him to be incredibly off-putting (Which, coming from the PA guys, says something.) Their takeaway:



I've never listened to either the UYD or PA JJGo episodes, because I've heard nothing but bad things.

125 has the story of being trapped in a "makeshift rape room" by a gay dude at his first late night meeting on Melrose, and his second AA meeting in Beverly Hills with Chuck Negron of 3 Dog Night making a big, lovely speech ("I got laid!...I used to have of threesomes," and I'm thinking, When is this story going to go sour?)

edit: oh my god this ep is so on point. Seth's mini-meltdown on the MySpace trucker hat, the guy who dug up a corpse, stole the head, and turned it into a bong... awesome.

I'm a big fan of the This Week in Florida story about the woman thrown through her sunroof in an auto accident.

"How much does she weigh?"
"600 pounds."
"HOLY loving poo poo! How do you get out of a sunroof, are we sure this wasn't, like, a convertible topless Paul Wall-style stripper car?"

I get the feeling that Jonathan was prompted to ask how much she weighed, but the reaction sounds like genuine surprise.

I think they were just given a lot of creative license with how to do their promotion. Comedy Bang Bang was doing a bit at the same time called "Entourage Recap" which pretty much made fun of the show but based on the timing I suspect both were paid for by HBO.

I just started listening to CBB a month or so ago and heard my first episode with an Entourage Recap this week. So brilliant. [Entire theme song plays] "Turtle doesn't have enough tequila!" [OH YEAHHHHH, OH YEAHHHHH]

I believe the HBO thing was real - in the interview I quoted earlier, Jonathan said they get about $800 per month for doing sponsorship messages.

They've mentioned how they met before. Seth was working at a video rental store and Jonathan came in with his wife/gf and they were talking about how crazy that HBO documentary "Living Dolls" is. Seth pulled out a picture from a drawer that he kept on hand of the main girl in it because he's a crazy person.

via their wiki, it's mentioned in episode 10:

UYD Wiki posted:

Seth tells everyone to TiVo for April 22 at 4:35 a.m. on HBO to watch Living Dolls, the documentary upon which Jonathan and Seth first founded their relationship when Seth worked at Rocket Video in the early 2000s (Jah: “It was one of the first things you and I ever talked about as barely acquaintances at the video store before we really knew each other. You knew everything about it and we had just seen it and you of course had seen it 15 times already.”) Jah remembers that Seth had a cut-out of the main character, Swan, in a drawer.

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.

I was having dinner at a Chinese restaurant a year or two ago, and both of the 40-odd inch TVs behind the bar were turned to a TCAP rerun on CNBC with the closed captioning on. I was starring at it, watching poo poo like "Blow your cat" scrolling up the screen, and none of the other diners seemed to notice. A UYD-listening friend was with me, and we were both having an intense "Are you people cool" moment as old ladies and families sat there with graphic sexual dialogue just constantly streaming across the room.
