habanero walrus posted:I don't think I can recall him ever saying this, but there are a lot of episodes so I guess it's possible. I'm going through a second run-through of all the episodes (I'm up to 191) and a few weeks after Jonathan first started giving out his cell, Seth started saying that he could be found in the book. This went on for a while though he doesn't say it anymore and hasn't for a long time. And regarding doing a second run-through: I was surprised to learn that some people re-listen to the show from the beginning once they've caught up. The thought of listening to close to 300 hours of something the first time around is a bit daunting, but doing it twice? However, the show's so addictive and most other podcasts are so lacking in comparison, that I had no choice. I'm glad I did because 1) there's no way a person could remember every single conversation that's ever taken place on the show 2) it's not like you can't laugh at the same thing twice and 3) I've been laid off for a while (due to these oh so tough economic times) and I have a lot of free time on my hands. No way am I doing a third run-through though, so I'm going to have to go back to trying to convince myself that The Complete Guide to Everything and My Brother, My Brother and Me are satisfying alternatives to UYD.

I always wonder about the voicemails. Being two very charismatic, not-bad-looking guys, they must get some creepy messages from female fans. Edit: I remember, for instance, at one point Jonathan had to ask women to stop sending him tit pics. HoAssHo fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Oct 11, 2011 |

If I'm horribly grossed out by this even though I know it's not real, I can't imagine how grossed out Seth must have been filming it. http://www.55inch.com/seth_wout_bike.php

(Going back for a second) There was an episode recently where Seth listed some cheap DIY solutions soldiers were using for common problems in Iraq. One of them was the tape around the bed thing. He was referencing that.

Pompous Rhombus posted:I checked out some of the video clips on Youtube and... to be honest, wasn't expecting them to be so good. I guess the normal audio-only format made me think they'd be kind of awkward or whatever, but seeing their facial expressions and body language just adds to the hilarity. Also, hadn't pictured Seth as a rockabilly. Totally agree. I've watched all their videos on the Youtube channel a couple times now. Something about seeing their mannerisms and how they react to each other makes the actual audio podcast funnier because I can picture them reading postcards from Korean kids and Taco Bell reviews to each other. I know my husband really came around on the show once he saw some of the videos. The Parenthood video is the best for Seth's storytelling.

Nadine Hauklund posted:It's like a PBS pledge drive where you get a tote bag and a Sesame Street compilation for your $100 donation. They aren't selling you a goddamned tote bag and CD for $100, they just want to give you something to hold on to, something that has their name on it so you can say (if asked) "I got this crazy thing when I donated to PBS." Sure, like I said, I get that now. To be fair though, that's not even remotely the way it was presented. It was presented on Facebook in particular as "Get your exclusive UYD limited number collector's item for only $50." The idea of donating and getting a little something in return was never expressed by the guys or the website in general. We've only come to this conclusion on our own.

I like MBMBAM a lot but I too had a hard time getting into it at first because I felt like they were ripping off UYD (I mean, they say "bone down," for God's sake - it's not even debatable whether or not they're fans) but I realized that they have their own thing going on and are really funny in their own way.

They could just be good friends for all we know. It was simple conjecture on my part based on the photos and photo titles like "couples and bff's." I don't really care either way, though.

*PUNCH* posted:Just listened to the Seattle episode. I was really impressed - I mean, these guys are pretty much the best podcasters, but I had no idea they had those kind of live chops. So good! I hope they make it to New York sometime soon. How many episodes have you listened to? I'm just curious because they've done several live shows and the first was in Brooklyn. I re-listened to that episode (188, I think) pretty recently and it's funny how much better they've gotten at doing live shows. They're a lot more relaxed now.

That's one of those bits that make me want to slap people who listen to the show backwards. I've seen a bunch of people on the Facebook page say that they've done this and claim that they had no problem understanding all the running jokes. How can that be true and why would anyone ever do such a thing? There's no way the show could be as good listening in reverse order.

One of my favorite Seth Rants - and the one that probably got the biggest laughs out of my husband out of all the episodes I've shoved down his throat in the car - is the one about Neil Young and The Who in episode 24. "The 60's were like FIFTY YEARS AGO. Stop talking about the loving 60's!" Another favorite is late in episode 136 where he gets so worked up talking about a then-recent Bud Light commercial touting the beverage's "drinkability" that he's nearly screaming "your beer is drinkable??? I SHOULD loving HOPE SO!" I'd consider this a good bit to show a friend if I was trying to get them into the show if only Sethro didn't somehow manage to turn it into a rant about McCain at the end. I'm not a fan of McCain either but they usually stay away from politics - like most comedy podcasts - and it's probably a wise choice. Actually, think I'm gonna go give that one a re-re-listen now that I'm thinking about it. HoAssHo fucked around with this message at 04:21 on Jan 28, 2012 |

Seth definitely has a younger brother who is only around 10 years old. I think his name is Max. It sounds like his parents split up at some point and his dad had Seth's brother with his new wife or girlfriend or whatever.CortezFantastic posted:I loving offered to send him P90x 2 because they said he did the first one and he said it was all bullshit. Their troll game is too good. But then he wanted it anyway so maybe by the next live show Seth will just be a jacked sober warrior. Could you really imagine Seth doing P90X? They make fun of that kind of poo poo all the time. HoAssHo fucked around with this message at 03:27 on Feb 2, 2012 |

Raar_Im_A_Dinosaur posted:See but then he talks about his mom still being married to his dad. Does he? Because I thought she said she lived alone. In one of the eps she's on, they joked about how she has like 6 TV's and she lives alone. I could be misremembering this point though. I'm totally convinced that his little brother exists though because he's talked about him a way that's distinctly different from when he talks about his fictional daughter and Jeff. It's like his drug and alcohol stories where you can tell he's serious.

He mentioned having Homeland and, I think, Boardwalk Empire on his DVR but said that those are just "his shows" and not the kind he'd give as UYD TV picks. So, I guess he likes at least some dramas.

AltronHGX posted:I just started listening to this from some recommendations a couple weeks ago in the comedy podcast megathread and jesus this show is amazing. I can't even explain at all what I like about it yet, but I can easilly see myself marathoning all 330 episodes throughout the rest of the year already. I tried to do that with Joe Rogan last year (babby's first podcast) but I got real burnt out around 50 deep- I don't see that happening with UYD. I realize this is from like 4 days ago, but I want to strongly urge you to listen to the show in order from the beginning without skipping around. They refer back to a lot things and there's almost a sort of mythology that builds up around them as characters over time. You'll get a lot more out of it listening to it in order. Oh, and go to their YouTube page and watch the clips from episodes in the 120's that they recorded in the studio. The show's more fun once you can picture their mannerisms as you listen. "Parenting" is my personal favorite. HoAssHo fucked around with this message at 05:40 on Jun 1, 2012 |

im a girl btw posted:I just got into these guys a few days ago after stumbling across some craigs house bits on youtube and I really like it. Sucks that the old itunes downloads aren't working, I wanted to listen to the fight episode everyone was talking about. I always tell people to start at 1 but I realize it's a daunting task. At least listen to 15, 24, 33 and 66 (those are some good early eps off the top of my head) and 101-130 is a particularly good run. 15 has the story of Seth meeting his soulmate and it might be the best story ever told on this show. I still love the show but most people seem to agree that the earlier stuff was a bit better. I got my tickets for Boston. Friday I'm seeing Sarah Silverman (who is one of my female comedy heroes) and Saturday I'm seeing my podcasting heroes. Gonna be the best weekend in forever.

A bunch of drama about the tumblr fansite, UYD4L, is going down on the Facebook page (I'd post a link but my phone's not letting me; it's easy enough to find though) and one of the people who created that site wrote an essay about why she's no longer a fan of the show (here). I don't know how much truth there is to this since it's only one side of the story, and it certainly wouldn't keep me from listening to the show even if it was true, but I do agree that the official UYD forums can be kinda mean-spirited and cult-like (and annoying - everyone tries to talk like Seth and Jonathan). That's not Seth or Jonathan's fault, of course, but I'm glad that we have this thread to talk about the show rather than having to deal with those lovely forums.

^^ Oh yeah, we all do it. It's impossible to not use UYDisms sometimes.Al! posted:God, podcast fans really are the fuckin worst. I'm not going to read a bunch of butthurt whining about how she was personally betrayed by the show so care to summarize? The people who run the official site didn't like that they made a fanpage so they banned them from the UYD forums and spread rumors about them. Seth and Jonathan themselves supposedly talked poo poo about them too and, in an unrelated incident, Seth yelled at the one women on the phone and made her cry (which she was made fun of for on the forums). Also, they were assholes to one of her friends after a live show - which I have a hard time believing. The only thing that makes this of note at all is that it's fairly hilarious how worked up they apparently are about this. They're on a mission to make it known that the guys aren't saints and that they are frauds who don't appreciate their fans. They're asking people to flood the voicemail inbox with complaints about their treatment of these women. As if anyone gives a poo poo. How the hell do you get this distraught over a comedy podcast??

Jeff Wiiver posted:If I can convince a few of my friends to go with me, I'll be there. It's even on my birthday weekend. There's no shame in doing things by yourself. I'd imagine quite a few people will be there by themselves because podcasts are generally a solitary activity and most people probably don't have a bunch of friends that share their love of the show. It's not like a concert. It would be silly to miss out on seeing them just because you have to sit alone. You're not going to be talking to your friends during the show anyway. (Sorry if I'm jumping to conclusions and misinterpreting your reasons.) I'll be bringing my husband because, while he's never listened to the show on his own, I've forced him to listen to it enough times on car rides that he's familiar enough with it to be able to "get it" and enjoy the live show. I wouldn't even consider bringing someone who has never heard the show before.
