2006 4 Life: The Uhh Yeah Dude thread

hahah

I watched John Larroquette in a Hallmark movie recently (one of the McBride films, I believe) and I wondered if Jah had ever discussed his dad's career on the show. Does he mostly avoid talking about that sort of thing?

It gets brought up every once in a while. Mostly in the context of Jonathan having to self-I.D. as the "son of Dan Fielding" as an angsty teen.

Hallmark shows up on my Verizon tv guide, and every once-in-a-while there'll be a McBride marathon, but unfortunately it's not part of my package. Fucking corny-ass Hallmark isn't part of my cable package? I'd have to pay extra? don't fucking get it.

Hallmark and Lifetime are crucial imo

otm

I've had a weird lifelong crush on Mr Larroquette (I used to watch Night Court with my grandma, she thought he was v handsome lol), so it feels like awesome synergy to get to now be a huge fan of his son.

They mentioned Papa Jah's career a bit last year when he was going on Broadway with Harry Potter

seth was in one of the McBrides:

Jah did music for some of them too

seth channelling seth LOL

Wonder if that's from his own collection of Jack Scalia clippings.

there are two episodes where Jah calls his dad while they are taping the show:

• episode 40 (to wish him happy birthday)
• episode 130 (to confirm a story about him getting in bed with his parents at age 15 while on an acid trip)

Haha, Seth is great in that!

just in case there's anyone who hasn't seen this:

acidentally posted this on the parenting thread LOLZ

that ep187 story about the woman who had the dinner party and was flirting with a dude she hadn't met before as everyone was leaving. After everyone had left she hears a noise from outside and looks to the side kitchen door.
(in Seth's high pitched girl voice)"AJ??"
(in Johnathon's super low crazy person voice)"I FORGOT TO RAPE YOU"

was that re: security system tv commercials?

i dont think so

yeah it was http://uhhyeahdude.com/index.php/wiki/episode_187/

LOOK GR)*)*)*), you're most likely right

Seth's early steez of "So you know who I saw giggling and hi-fiving at the Pinkberry the other day (insert random actors)" wears on me a lot as I listen to these early episodes...but the one thing that makes it hilarious is how Jah is always just so confused by WHO the actors are.

laughing and slapping

the laughing and slapping thing is such a confounding and hilarious meme

I'm (I think) 30 episodes in and he does it every week. It's kinda weird.

laughing and slapping

most of them have to be made up, but you really dont know-- this is one reason why seth is a comic genius imo

I mean, the pairings are funny but it starts to come off as weird homo fixation, at least in my mind. I dunno. Maybe I'm overthinking it, lol

the way l.a. residents are fascinated w/celebrities is compelling and unique

there's def a conversation to be had re: how close they teeter towards/flirt with homophobic/sexist/racist shit while rarely every actually going there

and yeah the celebrity fixation is so weird and hilarious

i love hearing seth talk about how he "takes it to" celebs

feel like in l.a. everyone has just given up and its considered totally ok and fine to be obsessed w/celebrities

which is kinda beautiful and honest in its own way

ep 97 has maybe my favorite seth story ever (havent gotten to the restaurant story yet) about his mom being in town and how hard he was working to "get her a celeb" when they finally bump in to james spader at a news stand

well when you think about it, the town is FULL of celebs. I mean it's like talking about people who live in your hometown, in a way. Except they're all famous. Maybe it's that *we* ascribe more to celebs than they do? Like we think they're name dropping and they're just talking about, yknow, people. LA's fucking weird.

ugh 'town'. LA = city.

i think also it has to do w/that so many people work in the industry so theyve like been given permission to care abt that shit except that they care abt it in the most obviously unprofessional way

where the stars come down from the heavens and walk among us

xpost to lagoon: my LA friends are music industry people and its the same way

also for dudes like seth who want to be celebs theres this whole painful aspirational thing that can only really be laughed off by just giving into the loathsome obsession

otm

that brings up another thing i've been thinking about as i am working through the archives in reverse order-- somewhere between episodes 50 and 100 this kind of pained resentment pops up a few times that UYD was't yet on satellite radio or doing anything that will make them money

they def seem to have made peace w/ it now, and maybe the increase in live shows has something to do with that

I noticed a few mentions of that in some early teens/20's episodes too. That satellite radio was maybe the 'we've made it' endgame. Which is kind of lol now, but god when you hear them talking about how there's no funny podcasts, and when they did some of their podcast chart lists, it's like oh fuck I remember it really WAS a wasteland.

I hate that 2006 *is* a long time ago, because in my old-person brain it was just last year.

have a lot of people gone from podcast to satellite radio

i listened to satellite radio for the first time in years last week (via rental car) and holy shit what a world

I knew abt Howard Stern but did not know that Playboy and SPICE each have their own channel

xxpost Not that I know of?

Does Bob Dylan still have his station?

ive only ever experienced satellite radio via rental car too but yeah it is amazing

what the hell would Playboy Satellite Radio sound like

lots of moaning and squishing noises? erotic radio plays? ginuwine?

playboy radio is kind of like a format that is 20% UYD and 80% Howard Stern done by boring porn stars who arent as interesting or funny as they think they are

and they take live calls from listeners
