I've started relistening from the beginning and though the basic dynamic of the show was there from the start, Seth and Jah were a bit rougher. Like in Episode 3, I think, Jah talks about getting mad at a guy and then talks about raping the guy's daughter. Seth is like "Okay. Hi mom."

this gets very addictive. jon reminds me very, very, very much of a couple of guys i used to spend time with in college (especially the way his voice rises up when he really wants to make a point). and seth is so gonzo, so wired and quick, that i feel like it almost sharpens my brain to listen to him.

I like their Oscar & Felix dynamic -- Jah's livin the big life but organizationally he's a mess, and Seth with his index cards and his shit locked down so tight...i love it

would you describe their humor as more witty or more sarcastic?

gr8080, Thursday, 16 May 2013 17:02 (eleven years ago) link

it's kinda both? idk

Haven't listened in forever. I still get excited when I see this thread bumped. Miss you Seth and Jonathan <3

idk if i've been off it for too long or what but the stretch from 108 to 110 is so good

108 to 110 really is a righteous sequence of episodes

110 with Jonathan's Blues Traveller odyssey/arrest OMG HE WAS PLAYING HARMONICA AND TAKING BONG HITS so amazing

was i just tired when i listened to it, or was the denver show pretty bad?

http://threeframes.net (gr8080), Thursday, 13 June 2013 02:50 (ten years ago) link

I didn't think it was their best. Could just be the sound mix, but the crowd seemed pretty unenthused too.

sonderborg, Thursday, 13 June 2013 04:51 (ten years ago) link

I'm halfway through it and it's better than most of their other live shows. Crowd response seemsv pretty on point too. Felt like Jonathan almost totally derailed the thing with his priceline.com thing, but they recovered pretty well.

how's life, Thursday, 13 June 2013 09:45 (ten years ago) link

i haven't heard it yet but the LA podcast fest show had dreadful sound, huge amounts of buzz, tinny, and mainly in the left ear. the whole POINT of these things is to celebrate audio so i really don't get how poor the audio quality is.

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 13 June 2013 09:58 (ten years ago) link

even just mixing to mono would have improved the LA podcast fest episode immeasurably

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 13 June 2013 09:59 (ten years ago) link

I dunno if the point of UYD is to celebrate audio. Morelike to celebrate seeing George Wendt in the Sherman Oaks Whole Foods.

how's life, Thursday, 13 June 2013 10:07 (ten years ago) link

no, i meant the podcast fest. podcasts are audio. that's all they are. to have it recorded so poorly is just... like, what? okay.

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 13 June 2013 10:30 (ten years ago) link

the normal eps of UYD are recorded impeccably, which is kind of amazing given how casual the whole thing is. but i guess jon's got a kind of audio engineer background of sorts.

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 13 June 2013 10:30 (ten years ago) link

I haven't been to Denver in 5 years, but my main takeaway from my visit was Juggalos and Jncos, so I'm glad that that's still happening for them, I guess, and I'm glad the UYD guys got to witness.

how's life, Thursday, 13 June 2013 10:35 (ten years ago) link

sorry, I didn't mean audio quality, I meant they were kind of shitty and unfunny for most of it, they both seemed really off their game

jonathan's kidnapping routine made me wince, so did the gay dad ask amy

http://threeframes.net (gr8080), Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:09 (ten years ago) link

I must have missed the kidnapping thing. Ask Amy is a tired bit. Bring back This Week in Florida or something, imo. Jonathan on issues of gender/sexuality/race: probably a bad idea in general.

how's life, Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:13 (ten years ago) link

like i said i haven't heard it yet but ime audio quality can have a profound and subtle effect on how something comes across

i also think that their show's strength is the intimate setting, you are almost literally in seth's living room sparking a bowl with these guys and cracking each other up; it feels weird to "share" that with an audience. like hey, these guys are supposed to be talking to ME not these jerks out in the audience!

TracerHandVEVO (Tracer Hand), Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:16 (ten years ago) link

yeah totally

jonathan kind of seemed like he kept trying to push the envelope for the crowd, instead of engage with seth

http://threeframes.net (gr8080), Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:23 (ten years ago) link

They had a pretty good connection to the audience in this one though. That's sorta been lacking in most of their live shows, I've felt. They were more confident and had better stage presence, particularly Seth.

how's life, Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:24 (ten years ago) link

Seth always seems a little overwhelmed by being up on stage. He gets all nervous. Jonathan usually copes with it by sorta half-assing it and being ruder than usual.

how's life, Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:25 (ten years ago) link

I almost always dislike live podcasts, but it's probably cool for the people in the audience. Think of them as bonus episodes or something

mimicking regular benevloent (sic) users' names (President Keyes), Thursday, 13 June 2013 11:35 (ten years ago) link

Yeah, they seem to deliver lesser returns across the board.

this is basically why i stopped listening after i went to see them in boston, it kind of broke the spell

omg just learnt how jah lost his virginity, 12 and on a beach

how the fuck did that make it on to a news show with the swearing and peeds and shit?

where he eats the gunk off of Ronald's rocket. (a hoy hoy), Sunday, 21 July 2013 18:49 (ten years ago) link

Nightline is fairly uncensored, since it usually airs around 10.30pm or later, and that particular entertainment segment which is broadcast near the end of the show has developed a self-consciously 'edgy', envelope-pushing style which has tended to allow language that wouldn't otherwise make it onto mainstream tv news. I was slightly taken aback with the mf bomb, but I've gotten used to that kind of language being uncensored whenever I catch the show. Tbh I'm more surprised that they seem to have paid for that reporter to travel to Denver to interview Seth and Jah. For a moment there I was like "wtf are UYD doing in NZ and how did I not know about it?!"

bi goose aka the skein divider (qiqing), Sunday, 21 July 2013 21:37 (ten years ago) link

Also NZ TV is awesome and there is little bleeping.

franny glass, Monday, 22 July 2013 02:26 (ten years ago) link

Australia is the same. They would air a show like the sopranos on network tv but at 11:30pm where they could say 'fuck' and 'cunt' til the cows came home.

I love how pro-NZ seth is on the latest podcast and his vision of he and jonathon moving there, herding sheep and getting married. so great.
