26: r/NoSleep, and the legend of Denny the day old skrimp boy

October 31, 2016 19:40 - 1 hour - 75.4 MB

It's that time of year again everybody, when you put yesternight's leftover skrimp in the wicker basket on your porch to feed the pockets of tiny denny, the day old skrimp boy. If not, you run the risk of hearing that familiar pitter patter or greasy fingers on your windows, and the voice of little Denny politely asking for his beloved skrimps. This is just one example of the truly horrifying stories you can read on r/nosleep, one of Reddit's most popular subreddits, and a home for creativel...

25: r/JesusChristReddit and our sweet pocelain boy, Ken Bone

October 21, 2016 08:00 - 1 hour - 78.1 MB

After a few weeks of nonstop life-changing events, including u/itsyerdads never-ending buffet-sized octopus feast in Greece, and the birth of u/myfreeday's new kid, the DYR crew is back. This week, we dig into listener u/hoefauxsho's email-in request r/JesusChristReddit, where Reddit's most neckbeardy, Cheeto-finger comments are roasted for public-humilation-sake. If ever something makes you say "Jesus Christ, Reddit..." in awe, disgust, or sheer bewilderment, it probably belongs on this sub...

24: r/futurewhatif, camgirls, North Korea, and DYR Mic Problems pt. 24

October 03, 2016 09:51 - 1 hour - 80.1 MB

What if North Korea decided to put their military money where their mouths are and actually bomb America? What if Donald Trump was actually voted into presidency and then revealed that it was all a fantastic marketing ploy for a new White House-themed reality TV show every Thursday at 8:00pm EST (5:00pm PST)? What if u/myfreeday's wife gave birth to baby Frank "freeway" Freeday live on the pod? These are all the kind of questions that deserve quantifiable, serious speculation on r/futurewhat...

23: r/fresno, John Lang, and Red Asphalt 2: Asphalt's Revenge

September 19, 2016 13:57 - 1 hour - 78.7 MB

Almost every episode, the DYR gang ends the hour by hitting the random button on Reddit. And just as often, someone gets a subreddit dedicated solely to a small town or city somewhere in the world. So, this episode we're dedicating entirely (almost) to the subreddit for Fresno, California. Or as you may know it, home of VISA, nightcrawlers, political assassinee John Lang, and the 2009 BBC documentary "The City Addicted to Crystal Meth". Really powerful stuff guys. See Privacy Policy at http...

22: r/askreddit, BOGO Anime Kitanas, and Dr. Seuss was kind of a douche apparently

September 09, 2016 06:02 - 1 hour - 82.1 MB

r/askreddit is Reddit's #1 subreddit, with almost 14mil subscribers. It's an amazing introduction to the mentality of redditers, as well as a great resource for both insightful answers to insightful questions. Or a good place to laugh at gyno jokes and really specific and misguided sex tips for teenagers. This week, u/myfreeday, u/dogboobes, and u/itsyerdad barely touch the tip of the iceberg, then quickly drift into another conversation about swords and conspiracies. what's new i guess. Se...

21: r/apocalympics2016. AKA What Would Ryan Lochte Do?

August 29, 2016 22:37 - 1 hour - 73.4 MB

In 2013 the world collectively asked "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" for eight whole episodes of riveting TV drama/comedy/fantasy. Well in 2016, we finally got the answer we were looking for - he would fake an armed robbery so that he wouldn't have to tell his mom about a late night bender, therefore throwing the whole world into a fit of collective shaming. Welcome to the Rio Summer Olympics 2016, a complete disaster that somehow still didn't live up to the disaster that everyone expected it t...

20: r/MarinaJoyce, public jerkin', and bad pod etiquette

August 22, 2016 21:21 - 1 hour - 62.2 MB

What's up with Marina Joyce? Was she really held captive by a stranger in black? Is her YouTube agent milking her fashion vlogger bones for all they have to offer? Was she just getting lit on bath salts all along? Or is she just a weird cosplay kid with questionable mental stability? This week, u/itsyerdad, u/myfreeday, and u/dogboobes continue where they left off at the end of r/dicksoutforharambe and speculate on what actually happened to Marina Joyce. As a bonus, they also speculate on ho...

19: r/buttcoin, butt2buttnetworks, and how the heck does bitcoin work guys?

August 12, 2016 00:06 - 1 hour - 70.2 MB

No matter how much someone tries to describe bitcoin, it doesn't make sense. How do you generate money via cryptocurrency, via ethernet cables, via mining farms? Nope. But Buttcoin? That's something we can get behind. A simple butt 2 butt network, where buttfarms connected by a bunch of ethernet cables or something generate butts that you can then use to buy a bunch of Internet things like dongles, linuxes, and black tar heroin. So basically, r/buttcoin is a satirical subreddit dedicated to ...

18: r/dicksoutforharambe. Seriously guys, dicks out.

August 02, 2016 05:18 - 1 hour - 61.8 MB

This is a special one guys. We're officially at peak meme with #dicksoutforharambe, if not 1-3 days past peak meme. Either way, we're catching this one in the wild, and digging into our newest favorite Internet moment, slash least favorite life moment, Harambe. r/dicksoutforharambe and now r/harambe is dedicated to resters in peacers for the world's favorite gorilla who went too soon, Cincinnati's finest, Harambe, and all the weirdness that ensues when the Internet catches fire. So get your ...

17: r/PersonalFinance, and u/dogboobes gets a new back.

July 26, 2016 06:55 - 1 hour - 70.7 MB

Hey Nerds, we're back. Speaking of backs, u/dogboobes got a new one, but she's still in recovery, which is why the whole pod sounds like it is being recorded from inside an abandoned Russian oil tanker (because she lives in an abandoned Russian oil tanker). Whatever. We're back, and backer than ever, to talk about r/personalfinance. "Hey DYR, that sounds boring." Well it's not you mouthbreathers. R/PersonalFinance is weirdly dark and anecdotal, so we decided to talk about it for a long time....

16: r/polandball, Google Hangouts, and u/itsyerdad is bad at buttons

June 14, 2016 23:54 - 56 minutes - 51.9 MB

This week, we're bringing you a user submission from u/backforward24, and a good one at that. While u/dogboobes nurses her slipped disks, and u/myfreeday nurses a rosé in Tuscany, we discuss the world's most confusing international ongoing inside joke, all over Google Hangouts. Also, U/itsyerdad is a terrible internet audio engineer, we try to talk www.trueswords.com into sponsoring us, and we make about a thousand references to things you can't see on our pod (go to www.didyoureddit.com). ...

15: r/Pointlessstories, caramel people, morning pods, and RIP Morley Safer

May 20, 2016 17:18 - 1 hour - 68.4 MB

This week, u/itsyerdad, u/dogboobes, and u/myfreeday discuss r/pointlessstories at 7:00am. Before the gang came to u/itsyerdad's garage studio (that's not sponsored by stamps dot com), he realized that he didn't have any creamer for their coffee, so he looked in his fridge frantically and found Hershey's caramel, so he decided to put caramel in their coffee instead of cream. So the coffee was ok after all. Last of all, Resters in Peacers Morley Safer - the king of non pointless stories. We ...

14: r/Ledootgeneration, the pretzel pillow, and capital punishment for some unknown reason

May 12, 2016 18:08 - 1 hour - 72.9 MB

We know you've been thinking "what is this magical, wonderful sound at the core of the DYR theme song? It sounds like an angel's mating cry, or maybe the trumpets of zion." Well, you're kind of right - It's Le Doot, the world's spookiest meme. r/LeDootGeneration is a subreddit dedicated to thanking Mr Skeltal, the skull trumpet that started it all. If you don't updoot the Pretzel Pillow on Kickstarter in .000696969 seconds, you'll never have good calciums on airplanes again. Thank You Mr. Sk...

13: r/Conspiracy pt. 1, but mostly just Elisa Lam

May 02, 2016 18:43 - 1 hour - 84.4 MB

At some point on almost every episode, we get into conspiracies on accident at least once. So, we thought it was time that we finally went face deep into r/conspiracy, for what is certaintly part 1 of 100 on the most (least) accepting, free-thinking (weirdly-limiting), and open-minded (or maybe a little crackpot) subreddit in the Redditsphere. However, apart from a quick detour to talk about AIDS, again, we basically spent the entire pod discussing Elisa Lam, and ghosts n'stuff. Not the Dead...

12: How To Reddit and beef suitcases

April 23, 2016 23:59 - 1 hour - 70 MB

Twelve episodes later, and we are just now explaining how Reddit works. Here are a few tips about Reddit for those of you who actually use this synopsis to help make decisions about whether or not to listen to this podcast. First, Ross Ulbricht and Aaron Swartz aren't the same person, even though u/itsyerdad might think otherwise. Second, baby steps begin with Redditlist.com. Third, meatsuitcases are a the next great power investment. Also, Stamps.com still isn't paying us to mention them on...

11: r/Explainlikeimfive, Créme Eggs, and our first grossest pod yet

April 15, 2016 22:15 - 1 hour - 78.6 MB

Why do people kill horses? What kind of papers are these so called Panama Papers? What's the deal with this smegma thing everyone has been talking about? This week, we eat creme eggs and dig into some of the many complicated questions addressed r/explainlikeimfive, a subreddit dedicated to answering tough questions in a simple way. Who would have thought this one would become our grossest pod yet. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19...

10: r/KenM, not brought to you by onnit.com or meundies

April 06, 2016 16:57 - 1 hour - 74.6 MB

Ken M is the Internet's greatest troll. No really, everyone knows it. He is the perfect combination of sarcasm, sincerity, and spite. He is lord, and all others should bow down before his golden, grammatically incorrect scepter. r/KenM is a virtual museum of his greatness. This description brought to you by Stamps.com. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

9: r/ShittyKickstarters, Elev8or 2 Ascension, and Kelly Walks to Asia

March 30, 2016 21:06 - 1 hour - 64 MB

Hey, we're back. Our microphones are still questionable. Our professionalism is still non-existent. And Corey Feldman is trying to crowdfund his new record. That's a pretty bad idea, but there are a lot worse that we talk about on this episode of Did You Reddit. Or at least we do until u/Dogboobes tells us about her 7 part Citizen Kane, "the Kelly Movies", which we are currently shopping around major film studios. Also, wear MeUndies when you send letters with Stamps.com and get super swoll ...

8: r/lostgeneration, sexy sleeper cells, and Magic Johnson never had AIDS

March 15, 2016 17:22 - 1 hour - 87.4 MB

Listen, things are rough right now. Student debt is impossibly high. Our next president could be be a guy who was both a reality show star and frequent WWE guest. Selfie sticks exist. It seems like everything kind of sucks, and it disproportionately(debatably) affects the Reddit generation. r/LostGeneration is all about cynically highlighting some of the problems of our society, and how pissed we all are at the baby boomers for blaming us. Or, it's a place for jobless C students to complain ...

7: r/im14andthisisfunny, $wag stuff, pen15, LOl!!!11!1

March 06, 2016 23:06 - 1 hour - 87.5 MB

When you were 14, the world was perfect. Weiner jokes were hilarious, homophobia was a bulletproof defense in any argument, and baseball was still a fun sport. r/im14andthisisfunny, r/im14andthisisdeep, and the rest of the r/im14 series is about Redditers getting in touch with their inner Jaden Smith, and thinking back to how the world looked at 14. Also, Slumberfest Rules 4Lyf, incest=wincest, and handjobs are probably gross. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California P...

6: r/BannedFromClubPenguin, AKA What the heck is Club Penguin?

February 26, 2016 18:51 - 1 hour - 78.1 MB

Dom, I mean u/myfreeday just made the next big viral hit Instagram photo. Selena Gomez wasn't texting her exbf JB during the Grammys, she was actually just playing u/itsyerdad in Club Penguin. Plus, the Rebel Penguin Federation (RPF) rules is totally better than the Underground Mafias Army (UMA) or whatever. All we know about this whole Club Penguin thing is that the doctor's kid always wins. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/...

5: r/outoftheloop, banana tubing, and Kanye West's totally normal thing for butt stuff

February 20, 2016 23:26 - 1 hour - 76.6 MB

r/outoftheloop is really good at helping people get up to speed on the most important topics of today, like why Japan implemented a negative exchange rate, or why Kanye won't just accept that he is into butt stuff. Kanye, it's totally cool. You're famous, and can do all the butt stuff you want. Also, u/myfreeday introduces u/itsyerdad to banana tubing. See you in Cabo. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-i...

4: r/minionhate, America's greatest political pop song, and Facebook moms

February 18, 2016 20:19 - 1 hour - 74.1 MB

Minions. Are they innocent angel babies sent from our lord and savior Comcast, or are they satan's toxic toenail flotsam for lonely Facebook moms? r/minionhate would say the latter. But why? Lots of reasons really. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

3: r/glitch_in_the_matrix and u/myfreeday talks about LaCroix addiction

February 17, 2016 16:35 - 1 hour - 64.2 MB

u/myfreeday is grapefruit LaCroix's biggest fan, Keanu Reeves is everyone's stepdad, and we don't know how theoretical physics work. The world is not what it seems. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

2: r/Shittypoetry And Other Shitty Things

February 16, 2016 01:08 - 1 hour - 61.6 MB

This week, u/itsyerdad, u/myfreeday, and u/DogBoobes talk about the shitty network of shitty Reddit subs. Apparently there are some really good really bad poets on Reddit. Most notably someone named MozzieStix. The only good thing we can hope for out of a Trump presidency is this guy being the poet laureate.

1: r/SubredditSimulator, BABYMETAL, and Really Weird Eggs

December 07, 2015 01:03 - 49 minutes - 45.1 MB

In the inaugural episode of 'Did You Reddit', we ramble unprofessionally, chew gum on the mic, and try to understand the subculture of bot-run Subreddits, starting with r/gentlemangabers and eventually getting to the king of botsubs, r/subredditsimulator. Then, we talk about weird eggs and BABYMETAL. As one does. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
