nemoulette posted:As often as Jonathan is wrong about dumb things, "i think it's because you're an east coast catholic" was pretty funny and on point My favorite "Jonathan is wrong about dumb things" moment comes from a recent podcast where he freaks out on that guy whose job it obviously is to clean ATMs thinking he's some kind of psycho pervert. He thought he was like in the right but I just imagine he looked like a crazy person.

JethroMcB posted:Even if his job is to clean the ATM (Which isn't a job I'm familiar with, but whatever,) why was the guy ordering people to move back so he could take a bunch of pictures of the ATM? Why did he pull the the discarded receipts out of the trash and take pictures of those? That's one where I totally bought that Jah ran across a legit crazy LA person. Their stories about Los Angeles are phenomenal, but they have also convinced me that I want to do everything in my power to avoid ever being in that city. Because part of their job is taking photos of the ATM site to report to the bank, including of receipts to check receipt quality.

What's the episode where Jonathan realizes that at the start of the podcast he was sober, married, vegan, and had his poo poo together and Seth was a neurotic wreck and they have been slowly trading places ever since?

Jah has slowly been making the intro music longer and longer since the beginning. By next year it'll be 4 minutes long, in 10 years it'll be like 15 minutes long. He's going to have to start making his own mixtapes just to fill the time.

I've been listening to Uhh Yeah Dude for years and recently started listening to also-excellent podcast My Brother My Brother and Me, and it seems fairly obvious to me that at least one of them listens to so much UYD that they use some of their expressions as well.

Drewsky posted:I think that a lot of the slang is just West coast stuff. Or do you mean the guy uses like full on phrases like "Yo dog, you dead dog." It's hard to describe but it's not just using slang words, it's like full speech patterns and everything on some phrases. Like frequently Griffin says "Are. You. Ok." when someone says or does something crazy in exactly the way Seth would. Also the brothers McElroy aren't from the West coast, they're from the South, and I'm from the West and about their age, so I'm not getting it twisted. Either way I love both shows but UYD is definitely linguistically infections, because now I use fresh and dope unironically pretty much because of them.

Until listening to the Seattle show I had no idea that UYD's primary demo was hooting bros and bachelorette parties. Still Jah and Seth were in top form.

I like the show without opening music. Don't get me wrong, Jonathan has some pretty dope taste in music but I'm not always down to listen to half a song before the podcast starts. Just stick that poo poo on the end.

I can't imagine that two 30-somethings, one who works part time at a dispensary and one who works part time at a pet store, have a whole lot of discretionary income. They should just have a one-time pledge drive or something.

They met when Jonathan was sober, vegetarian, married, and had his poo poo together and Seth was a complete alcoholic drug addict wreck and he has been draining the life force from Jonathan ever since.

bango skank posted:It's probably just me but I've kinda gotten the impression lately that Jonathan is getting tired of doing the show. It's probably less that than his untreated addiction and lack of means due to not really having his poo poo together is completely loving his poo poo up at this point in his life. He'll probably pull out of it sooner or later.

I loved the Mayan calendar segment. Jonathan spouting all sorts of crazy poo poo about scientists giving more credence to the Mayans and the end of novelty and Seth is all "I think we'll be fine."

My favorite moment this episode was Jah slinging human being around with wild abandon then getting really quiet and ashamed when he mistakenly calls a tattoo machine a tattoo gun. Good on Seth for not letting that poo poo slip by though.

TheFallenEvincar posted:It's hilarious, because in the same super-serious weird Tumblr posts about how disappointed/horrified/mortified they are in a free comedy podcast betraying them, they also display a total inability to sense the irony in asking things like "Why does UYD seem so averse to fans?"...you're kinda the answer to your own question, guys... I'm surprised they're as open to their fans as they are, honestly, and how that hasn't come to bite them in the rear end any harder. Fans, especially enthusiastic internet fans, are hosed up people.

a starwar betamax posted:Seth seems to avoid any discussion of his true self. Most of what he says about himself and his life is made up. Hey maybe this is why he would get mad at you for giving your shithead friends his home number so you can call him while drunk. I think he's said for real that he has OCD and is a recovering addict though.

a starwar betamax posted:I feel like the character he plays for the show is mostly an exaggerated version of himself. But, he has what seems to be a strong aversion to talking about personal details to any extent. Most of what Seth does is for laughs so maybe he just doesn't think factual details about his personal life will be funny. I always assume that when Seth says that he had 2 think thin bars and a DMD for dinner he is being serious. I remember him telling a story about going to Taco Bell and getting rice and peas and a carmel apple pie or some poo poo because they were the only Vegan options on the menu and feeling like maybe he is missing the point. Also those apple pies are totally fried in lard.

Behold! A Elk! posted:I realize that as a transwoman I'm not exactly an unbiased listener here but it just really sucked to here that kind of thing coming from someone who I at least respect even if I don't know him personally. I think your big mistake is respecting Jonathan. He's a big trust-funded man-child from LA whose biggest hardship in life is people telling him they loved his dad on Night Court and whose biggest mistake was almost burning his house down with his dog in it. He uses homophobic slurs from the get and recently tried to defend them while Seth was all "slow your roll." But he spouts ignorant poo poo about all sorts of stuff all the time. Obviously I'm not telling you that you shouldn't feel what you feel but I tend to find more comedy than pain in people's ignorance when they're as harmless as Jah. I love his show but I'm not always laughing with him.

Sheesh, some people just got personally upset with the use homophobic and transphobic slurs said I just said that Jah uses them because he was a dumbass and we should make fun of him for it, nobody is saying they should go to PC prison or whatever, you people are too sensitive.

LesterGroans posted:This was probably the nicest discussion of "these people I like say some things sometimes that I don't" that I've ever read. In no way was the conversation off-topic or out of hand. Why the hell are people freaking out about it? Let people loving talk, especially when it's as civil as it's been. I don't think anyone in the thread said "I hate this loving show! Worst show ever!" and there's absolutely nothing wrong with talking about things in the podcast you wish improved. Jeez. Because a lot of people don't know how to enjoy something while being critical of it but more importantly get flustered when they see someone else doing that because they perceive that as attacking the thing they love. You see it everywhere on the internet and it's why it's so hard to get any loving traction when it comes to criticizing and improving on issues of sexisim, racism and homophobia in the media because there will always be a crowd of people aren't blatantly racist, sexist, or homophobic (but probably do enjoy the privilege of being either straight and/or white and/or male and usually all three) still shouting "why don't you all just shut up and enjoy this like I do!"

Oh great, the old "yeah yeah we all get it bigotry is bad now shut up about it and let me enjoy my privilege in peace" tactic. Sure you're done hearing about it but maybe some people aren't done discussing it. In fact all the wailing and gnashing of teeth about this topic of discussion even being brought up is making me reconsider my position and maybe Jah's casual use of them is more effective at normalizing them than I originally thought.

bango skank posted:Says who? Who decides when a word's meaning has officially changed? I know for myself at least that when I head the word "human being" I don't think of gay people, I think of someone being annoying or stupid. Says the people who still get called that for being gay or for whom that word opens up very deep wounds, probably. I'm sure you and your buddies call each-other all sorts of names, it doesn't mean that the word doesn't still mean the thing it originally did to a lot of people.

Chantix posted:It's always been a bit surprising to me that Seth is ok with Jonathan smoking in the studio. I guess that fits with him being overly supportive of other peoples addictions though. Kinda like how he always keeps some airplane bottles of booze on hand for his homeless. I like that Seth is a grown-up and doesn't go all EWWWWWW over a little cigarette smoke like most people do these days.
