they are a diff kind of comedy podcast, but they are pretty ilx-y, maybe more ilx-y than MM?

I'll check it out - is there a good place to start, or should I just jump in with the latest?

jump in w/ the latest and work backwards, maybe skim that thread for recs

i'm so far behind on these because i couldn't stand the thought of listening to Maron kiss up to Maynard from Tool for an hour and a half, but i finally listened to that ep and it was actually pretty decent. Maynard comes across as really likable and distances himself from the insuffarable Tool fan contingent nicely.

The Homme one is a mixed bag so far.

I started listening to uyd after hearing them on wtf. Thought they seemed really funny and likeable. Listen all the time now and only dip back in to maron occasionally
― sonderborg, Thursday, 10 October 2013 22:06 (ten years ago) link
The Homme one is really scattered. They talk a lot, but not really about anything.

I don't know if I just picked the wrong time to dip into UYD or what, but the two episodes I listened to earlier this year were insufferable.

they were a lot more so back when Jah used to read his hippy-dippy outros

I don't know, I dip into the UYD thread from time to time and I just was not hearing any of the stuff that you guys talk about in that thread. The thread makes it sound like a really fun listen, but I just wasn't hearing it. Granted, I think a part of it is that its clearly a podcast that rewards long-time listeners, there seemed to be lots of in-jokes and references that were flying past me. Problem was those two episodes I listened to didn't have anything that made me want to hear more.
― JACK SQUAT about these Charlie Nobodies (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 11 October 2013 15:25 (ten years ago) link
don't know which two you heard but I doubt they were as barren as all that
― I got the glares, the mutterings, the snarls (President Keyes), Friday, 11 October 2013 15:28 (ten years ago) link
the joy in UYD is definitely in familiarity w/ seth + jah and their unique chemistry, not in subject matter or material

I guess the in-joke is that it's clear a classroom full of Korean kids has researched UYD by finding Seth's car on Google Earth
― I got the glares, the mutterings, the snarls (President Keyes), Friday, 11 October 2013 15:33 (ten years ago) link
I agree with j/v/c, I've tried UYD a few times and while it's occasionally entertaining I don't really get it overall. But yeah it seems like if you listened every week and got to know the dudes it would have more appeal. It's probably like the Best Show is for me.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Friday, 11 October 2013 15:34 (ten years ago) link
tbh I have played episodes with mr veg in the car with me and found myself hearing them with an "outsider's" ears - they do sound kind of inane. i can see how it may not grab you
― set the controls for the heart of the sun (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 11 October 2013 16:38 (ten years ago) link
j/v/c and na there is a site called thisyear.org where they have best of radio shows, podcasts etc. maybe take a listen to uyd 2006 best of and see what you think. it really is a enter at the ground floor situation i think
― No more kisses (sunny successor), Friday, 11 October 2013 19:23 (ten years ago) link
plus there are so many in jokes and lazy shows at this point (2013)
― No more kisses (sunny successor), Friday, 11 October 2013 19:24 (ten years ago) link
yeah, i was actually talking to a friend that is a big UYD guy and he said 2013 era is probably the worst place to start. when i get some free time i'll try to give one of those best ofs a shot.

Just watched Thinky Pain on Netflix and it was great. The sharpest set of his I've heard in a long long time, yet it was still really relaxed and loose.

Of, that Nick Cave interview--imagining Maron working overtime on his TV show, not doing homework, and not wanting to turn down the chance to interview him.

It gets pretty good towards the end. This is the first interview with him I've heard where he discusses what put him in the hospital, what happened afterwards and how its reflected in the album. And a lot about being young in the California desert and that whole scene. Thought it was one of the better ones I've listened to, actually.

when Maron starts to perv a little on Nick Cave's wife and Cave says "steady on, mate" it's a pretty great moment

Don't normally 'do' podcasts but have given the Jeff Garlin one a few goes (Larry David/Aziz Ansari)...fuck he laugh is horrific. LD one was good enough, literally don't remember Aziz talking at all on his one, just endless half-compliments from Jeff/anecdotes about Eddie Murphy.

drive. if i didn't have a commute i don't know that i would listen to podcasts...when i try to listen at work it's just in one ear and out the other, can't get engaged at all.

I definitely can't listen to anything besides music at work. I listen to podcasts most often on my commute (esp. walking to/from and waiting for public transportation), at the gym, or while doing household chores (dishes, laundry, etc.)

Listened to this on a day off walk. Major bummer about his break up, but it sounds like he made the choice after trying to work through it for a long time. That happens, unfortunately. I hope he has a support mechanism of some kind to help out.
Natasha Lyonne was a pretty damn good conversation.
