Great Western Forum

I know I’m gonna get flamed or whatever for this, but I gotta say it.

Heyyyy Jonathan, I love your show and all, but when you start go on your philosophical tirades about ‘this reality’ and ‘tuning out frequencies’ and ‘shedding and regrowing’ and shit like that, I want to fucking slap you upside your raggedy-ass-bearded face and tell you to STOP TALKING.  It’s like listening to a hipster spewing pseudo-intellectual shit while toking on a joint.  YOUR SHIT IS NOT FUNNY AND IS SO OFF POINT.

SHUT

THE FUCK

UP.

I don’t care about your opinions on the way life is, or how it should be, or how things have changed.  I want to hear about people doing crazy shit or dumb-ass science or whatever,  not istening to John Lennon talk about peace and love and vibes and shit.

Ep 219 was awesome, until it hit the one hour mark and you started rambling.  Thank god Seff was there to try to reel you back.

And yes, I know, free entertainment, blah blah.  I’ll still listen, and I’ll still recommend, but I had to get this shit off my chest.

Done.

tl;dr, stop padding the eps with Jah’s rambling rants.  They suck.

this forum is ‘the tits’

you know, there’s a difference between positive and negative feedback…

this is totally uncalled for.

This is the biggest waste of time diatribe I’ve read on the forum since that other girl tried to call the guys out for calling women bitches.
If you don’t like it, turn it off and call your friends to talk about Grey’s Anatomy.

Agreed, its one thing to voice your opinion on something, its quite another to be a fucking dick and be rude about it. For example, there’s that ep where they read the IM transcript of the two people making fun of the made up vs real horses game. That’s was wicked funny. This is just straight up mean.

I love the fact that your status is Jonathan’s Bodyguard for this bardley

And I await your sermons…

I hope whenever Jah reads this, he’ll go past the first post and realize that we’re not all this…. close-minded.

Okay, I’m not sorry about what I said, but how I said it.  I was trying to write in Jah and Seth’s voice when they get pissed about something.  I wasn’t -really- raging against Jah.  Tho the rageddy-ass beard thing was way too harsh.  I admit that.

Sorry about the doucheyness.

..and we all love each other again, cool?

I guess some people don’t get the whole tongue-in-cheek aspect of Jah’s ramblings.

Everybody’s got an opinion. That’s cool. Whatevs. But a bit more tact would have been nice. Remember, if you want to complain, there is always the voice mail number and Jonathan’s cell if one wished to not incite forum violence. Just scroll past stuff you don’t like.

UYD4L

I guess I don’t.  When I hear him go on about something nonsensical, I don’t ‘hear’ any tongue-in-cheekness.  Again, listen to everything after the one hour mark in ep 219.  Everything up to that point is… it’s the Jah and Seth I’ve lived with and loved for so long.  Good banter, nice back-and-forth, snarkiness, silliness.

But after the hour mark, Jah goes on about how society changed and changes, how we ‘life we currently live in… currently spent in a place where they’re not dealing with the place they’re currently living in.’  While that’s a cool sentiment, it just seems jarring and out of place.

It’s like I was on the UYD train, and it was going 100mph with the two of them talking back and forth and snarking and doing what they do best and then all of a sudden we’re hit with something deep and introspective.  No warning.  Like a brick wall, or an iceberg magically appearing in front of the Titanic.

And I’ve noticed it more and more lately.  218 and 219 were mostly devoid of this, but there have been some episodes where Jah just went on and on and on and it didn’t ‘feel’ like UYD anymore.  It felt like someone sermonizing.

There.  How’s that for constructive, rather than negative, douchy criticism?

And yes, the irony in having deep thoughts about how much I don’t like deep thoughts in this podcast is not lost on me.

Holy shit, it’s dangerous in here.
Alright, that tirade is a little touchy. I like to take people to task but this one rubs me the wrong way. J-Dog would be hurt if he read that, truly hurt. Dude is doing the best he can, sometimes he gets a little deep, but I thought we all loved that about him.
I do wish he would talk more about himself. It seems at a certain point there was a decision that J-Dog wouldn’t talk about his life as much. I know this most awesome dude is still having crazy adventures, I’d love to hear about them in detail, but that being said, J-Dog could get on the mic and fart for an hour and I’d still love him.
Yo, snoogans, take a xanax and rethink your opinion. J-Dog is our crazy tripped out guide to the universe. Don’t fight it, just accept it.

im guessing youre not a fan of episode 89.

Yeah I agree with whoever posted this. SHUT THE FUCK UP HALF OF THE PODCAST! Shut up Jah you fucking hippy. Guh!

you don’t get it maaaaaaan

... but Jonathan talks about spacey stuff all the time, its awesome… that’s a big part of why I listen to this podcast.

Well put.
Seriously dude you should probably open up your mind a little bit. Jah gets real as fuck and you should learn to respect that; it’s not like what he says is irrelevant to the topic, he just takes that shit to another level.

Me too!

I also fucking hate that neurotic guy that talks about all this “Clever Topical Stuff”. He’s just as bad as the other host; the Mexican guy in that new wave band!

Another thing, don’t even get me started on that Weck guy and his wiki. Go hump a dictionary why don’t you!

...Go hump a dictionary why don’t you!

Dude, can I borrow that phrase? I have the perfect wordsmith to use it on. Please!?

Back to Jah and his alternate reality, I like it. Keep it up J-Dawg!

I won’t even pretend to be coherent or that my response is well thought out or funny.

But.

What I love about UYD is the balance. Jah is like the 15+ years that I lived in Berkeley,CA. & Portland,OR.—something I did after spending the first 29 years on the East coast. And yes, that would be the Seth side of my brain. It’s a yummy bowl of granola sucker punched with 20oz of (not Starbucks’) coffee. The perfect one-two punch.

Jah’s reflections (light some incense, for once I’m not going to use the word ‘rant’) are just the other side of the funny ha ha coin of Real American Stories of Real Americans being Stupid or Darn Right Fucked Up (oh poor Florence Nightingdale of the gas station). Stating the obvious: those funny ha ha stories aren’t just picked out just to be the audio version of America’s Funniest Home Videos.

UYD, to me, is one awesome journey that often has me nodding my head in Gabba Gabba Hey agreement & other times wincing at humanity and calling me to question how I deal with it. And to me, that’s what a lot of the best comedians do as well.

It is the yin and yang of Mad Dog and Jono that makes UYD what it is (the best).  Try to be less wack, BRACE FACE.
