Guys the accents are great and all in good fun! Political correctnessis getting so exaggerated that people are acknowledging that everyone is different while simultaneously pretending the differences don't exist. Don't give up the accents! !
It looks like actors lip synching the words. So used to hearing their voices for so many years without seeing their faces. Took me a good two or three minutes to get used to.
Linguists also call this "Linguicism" and it extends to dialects and perceived "incorrect" language use. I made a video about it if you wanna check it out :)
Can someone explain why they think they would be unbiased in doing a "How SYSK works" episode? I don't understand why they would be reluctant to do that. Maybe they would be afraid of offending an employer or something?
I bought this up with a friend one time, we agreed that you can do an accent, as long as the peoples you are accenting were never oppressed. Not a hard and fast rule, but I think it has some merit; thoughts?
But that cancels out Irish and Scottish accent imitations and those are two of the best to hear! Here's my 2 cents - if the imitation is done really well, and even a native speaker would be impressed by how well done it is, I think you can get away with it - it's when the accent is completely butchered that it crosses into the realm of mockery - so to people who like to mimic accents, do your homework and put in your practice!
brendan neubauer Id seen pictures before and id imagined the deeper voice was chucks bc of big burly beard = deep voice!! Im sure the guys have a podcast to explain this lol
The nationalities that are the most offended by "mocking" accents are typically the most xenophobic nationalities as well which I think says a lot. All accents done by an outsider are "making fun", it's just sad that everything is so offensive to everyone now. Comedy is subjective after all.
Internet Hunting? That is so pointless I can't comprehend it. If you want to actually hunt things try this thing called GO BUY A GUN and go hunting. Trust me, the graphics are awesome.
You guys think Ageism is as much of a problem the other way around? I find older people always make assumptions and complain about how young adults are dumb, entitled and know nothing. Many of my friends have lost out on promotions/opportunities at their work to people who have less experience but are older. These experiences are anecdotal of course. I wonder if there are any studies or articles about this.
Having a proud Scottish accent, I feel that accentism is often nothing but unfair bias. However, I am conscious that the growing number of 'isms' is robbing us of comedy that shouldn't necessarily be taken as 'offensive.' Ah mean ah'd like tae say ah speshully sobered up, stayed aff the smack 'n' goat access tae the community powur soakit jus tae type this shite.
I love languages and accents. My dad's family is from the south, so it became a hobby of mine to tell the difference between their accents by regions of origin. Accents is a broad net to cast, but would make a cool SYSK episode. Maybe just displaying the differences in English in various regions and countries.
They were both staff writers at a website and became work pals. Shortly after they were offered podcasting roles. The podcast has been done ever since.
Isn't the purpose of any accent to point out that people speak differently? I don't know why someone would automatically assume that speaking differently means speaking weird. Even within a single country there could be different accents for the same language spoken by people who are mostly alike but geographically separate.
God, how do y'all not wear headphones? I'll admit you're good at keeping your mouth close to the pop filter but that would drive me crazy not knowing my levels.
Love your podcast...What a fun and entertaining way to learn interesting information. I like this new feature very much! Thanks! It was weird seeing you guys talking after just hearing your voices and seeing some still images on your website. Is it just me or did anyone else think Josh's voice went with Chucks face and vice versa?
I feels so weird seeing these guy for the first time.. I recognize the voices, but the faces are strange to me
In this week's Stuff You Should Know - HowStuffWorks show notes video, Josh and Chuck delve into two emerging -isms: accentism and ageism.

I feel like their voices are switched in the wrong bodies lmao
Yeah, I thought Josh's voice would fit chucks body and Chucks voice would fit josh's voice.
ah dude i laughed so hard at that ... haha thanks
future_Tarzan lol you’re welcome
That is exactly what I was thinking. I watched this video twice and my brain can’t comprehend it.
Chuck looks like I expected, Josh does not. IDK why I expected a Thomas Middleditch-type person for Josh. I'm shook.
Just pressed "Like" because of that beginning! That's authentic!
And I'd press it again because of Chuck denying to write about Internet Hunting
What is that acoustic material you have on the walls?
Linguists also call this "Linguicism" and it extends to dialects and perceived "incorrect" language use. I made a video about it if you wanna check it out :)
An awesome video ;)
Hehe thanks :P
Y'all come up with some amazing video ideas. Loving this one.
Pat the chap (or chapette) on the back for this idea.
Thanks for this one Josh and Chuck, really enjoyed it! *kiss*
As a European listening to you guys attempt European accents and languages always make me cringe a bit. But you still get points for effort ;-)

Let's be honest, the whole ep would be just them complaining about Jerri.:)

How are there questions sent to these guys, when almost everyone can pick up their phone and ask it the question? Haha!
first time ive seen what they look like...not the same people as my imagination created

I am Italian and see no harm in it. It is done in a completely good natures and he means no harm. It makes me laugh
I like watching these guys talk to one another. Why did they stop doing videos?

This deserves a like just for that impressive beard!

So you got rid of the picture if John Bishop then... I contributed to a correction! Yay!

The Goats of the pod cast world, how did you guys meet? And no I'm not a 4 year old girl that's my daughters picture lol

Is there a particular reason why this was reuploaded?
Think they used the wrong image in the first one
Peter Howarth Yes, we goofed on one of the images we displayed - in a future episode we'll have a correction for it as well.
Can ageism really exist if we all become old eventually and the same old people were once ageist themselves
You know how easy it is to lie? Phony's ironic, it's a reference to phonetics.
Would they mail you the deer meat on that internet hunting?
These aren't long enough
thanks
