The best thing about Ricky Gervais calling in is the week after when Jonathan is angry that no one mentioned it on their message boards. He clearly thought the boards were going to blow up and then it literally got like one mention. An odd connection, a friend they mention who's filming the show for them was Gervais' co-writer on 'This Side Of The Truth', so I'll assume that's how he's heard the show.

nemoulette posted:That movie title was changed to The invention of lying and I think they know Matt Robinson one way or the other. Weird, I totally forgot it was renamed. But yeah what I meant is I assume Robinson introduced Gervais to the show. I just listened to a random episode that had Seth riffing on old school hip-hop and inexplicable laughter at the end of a line that had me cracking up. So, how truthful do you think Seth is? He claims ignorance to a lot of things which I assumed was him playing a character of sorts, but at the same time he's such a weird dude that some things wouldn't surprise me. About the argument. Doesn't the crutch of it become about adoption Vs actual parenting? I can see both sides of their argument. Seth's was that the greatest thing about raising a child is creating it, while Jonathan argued that it was bullshit. But saying that it's been a while since I've listened to it.

That's a brilliant episode, though any time his father appears is great (Like the very sweet moment they call him to wish him happy birthday). It's a shame that they don't fulfil Jonathan's promise of getting his dad on one day because as he said "No matter how crazy my stories are, my dad's are crazier". Also, how can Seth be nervous in front of the camera when he's a loving actor? He's clearly all over the place when they do the 100th episode as a video podcast, but it just seems odd to me that someone who performs in front of others for a living is so afraid of well...performing in front of other's for a living.

One thing I always found odd was when Jonathan had a recent rant about people calling him Jah, how it's disrespectful etc so I was a little surprised when I dipped back into older episodes and he refers to himself a few times as Jah. It seems a bit odd he would get so annoyed over something he essentially started.

The thing is they could absolutely monetise the podcast if they wanted to. Never Not Funny is basically subscription based, and would anyone really begrudge paying like 50 cents an episode or something? I don't think it'll harm the integrity of the show but it did make it sound like they're only just able to get by as things are right now. For the show to survive they either have to sell the gently caress out of some T-Shirts, start doing some pay only episodes or do what a lot of podcasts do now and make the backlog of episodes to order in a boxset. As for the episode I thought it got a little weird every time Jonathan talked for Seth. I think part of it was just covering for Seth because he knows how nervous he gets but there were a few times when Maron would ask a question of Seth and Jonathan would step in or where Jonathan just straight up talks over him. It occasionally got obtrusive but I don't think there was anything malicious there, and Seth clearly gets shy when he's talking with other people. Anyway, it was good to hear that they're going to be doing merchandise again. Hopefully they put Seth in charge.

Bolek posted:If they're downloading the highlights one of two things happen: they like the show or they don't. If they like it the result is obvious. If they don't the result is obvious. You said yourself you wanted to download the eps after you were finished.What's the scenario where it's eating into anyones numbers? Basically this. And to be fair on every episode of This Year they do tell you to go back and listen to the original episodes and where to find them. I've found those collections great for getting people into the show.

Tribal Rival posted:I always like that Seth kept his personal life so separate from the show... But good for him. Yeah I kind of feel like Seth is sometimes the world's most private person. When they were on Marc Maron's show I thought oh this will be interesting given that both Marc and Seth are going through sobriety and it was clear that for one, Seth clearly doesn't like talking about himself and two, Seth is surprisingly bad at talking with people that aren't Jonathan/his girlfriend/his mother.

Also when he read out that interview from will.i.am about how everyone was calling him up saying that the world needed another where is the love. I remember how Bruce Willis was doing the promo tour for the 4th DIE HARD movie and when talking about the PG-13 rating described it as "still pretty smashmouth".

It's always funny when Seth gets his world view challenged a little bit. There was a story years ago where an elderly guy who was buying books for his Grandkids was escorted out of the kids section of a bookstore because he was alone. Seth immediately jumps on it to talk about how what did he expect, you see some old guy in the kids section and what else are you going to think. Jah jumped in immediately and was like what, no, I would just assume he's there to pick up books for some kids. And if you are that concerned about it just keep an eye on him and it derails Seth's whole bit. He's a weird dude and I think being friends with him would be a little infuriating sometimes. Obviously the comedy is in a lot of the exaggeration, but I don't think the things he says are all that much removed from his own views at times.

There's a pretty great podcast about COPS and the lasting damage of it. Running From Cops it's called. For instance, did you know that the police get final edit of the episodes? I'm guilty of watching because I find people getting tasered funny. But I stopped watching a while ago and after catching LIVE PD I realised I couldn't stomach shows like that anymore. You can't ignore the way these shows are made and what they do to perpetuate the worst stereotypes. In one week recently COPS was on TV 70 times thanks to syndication. That's a lot of perpetuating. It's a bit of heavy listening but a great podcast, particularly now we know it gets cancelled. They talk to police who have been on the show, the executive who first got it made (who shows up wearing a COPS sweater) as well as people who have been featured on it and it's pretty sobering listening in parts.

We're all still here for now and from what is being said in other threads things are being worked out behind the scenes. Essentially I think everyone wants a situation where the Lowtax is gone but the forums are here. There's plenty of goon Discords flying around at the moment. But just in case, Jonathan and Seth have been in and out of my life for years now and so has this thread. I'm usually one to read instead of posting but thank you all for making it fun to talk about these two guys and their little podcast. Those boys did it without anyone's help, without joining a network or loading it up with ads even when they could have made some extra money for themselves (when they clearly needed it). That they didn't because they cared about the people listening is a testament to them, and Lord knows its a rare rare thing.

Magic Underwear posted:I understand why they didn't want "segments" but craigslist was so good I wish they'd do it again now and then. I mean they've been doing USA today snapshots and dear abby for longer than they did Craigslist so I think the show could support it. I think the problem was both This Week In Florida and Craigslist came so early in the shows run that they probably decided they didn't want to keep doing 'bits' and let them die out. It would've been fun to see them visit that Pedo show that Chris Hansen is doing now though.

There's a minor Dear Jonathan in I think ep 415 or 416 that's a little crazy. It's this woman who writes in to say that her husband recently went away for the weekend with his ex but now he can't remember what happened except that they didn't share the same bed. A therapist said it might be 'anxiety induced amnesia'. "What are you doing this weekend?" "Honey I'm going out of town. "With who? "My ex girlfriend."

Jerry Seinfeld posted:Does anyone have any full backups or anything for Weck's Wiki / archive.uhhyeahdude.com ? I'm trying to make a UYD randomizer that pulls up random clips using the timestamps (I remember the archive specifically had a ton of timestamped bits) but all I can find is a Github page for the site shell without any of the actual data. I think the wayback method is the only one really. There was another site that had replicated it to a degree but its gone now. The wiki was great and I thought a few people might have come together by now to try and get a functioning site together again.

KICK BAMA KICK posted:112, the way Gertrude Baines loves Seth and hates Jonathan is so perfect. Also has the stories of the principal caught in an out-of-state motel blazing and watching porn with two teenage sisters and the guy who crashes a random funeral and starts groping and showing porn to the bereaved. 112 is probably one of my favourite episodes. It's peak distilled UYDness. Also I'm from the UK and been listening for years and I don't mind the lookbacks. I prefer that to trying to document any insanity going on right now because just about everything is related to the current state of the world.

I don't think he drinks anymore but it also didn't seem like he had a problem with drinking. The majority of his stories seemed to be drug-related. I think Seth is the same isn't he? There's an early episode where Jonathan mentions Seth being in recovery for drugs and quickly apologises for saying so.

Seth is forever haunted by his inability to save that child in McDonald's because he was too hosed up from partying right.
