WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

her laugh was terrific, I agree totally.

Winters interview was great

Man, just listened to the Tobolowsky, and his stories of hanging out with the Vaughan Bros. are great. Totally weird he was there at so many important junctures (at least as far as Stevie Ray and Jimmy Vaughan go).

Damn, that Jonathan Winters episode was like a big comfy blanket. He was so great! And Maron was really good with him. Excellent episode, for sure.

Eddie Pepitone made me legit lul on the recent live ep

Winters was the total opposite of the bitter old showbiz vet. Cool to see someone able to amuse himself with his own talent.

That crazy zookeeper character made me lolol

this is kind of illuminating/sad, from that ny mag louis ck article:

(I ask him about whether he and Maron are back in touch after years of estrangement, and he says they are, now and then. “I tell him I’m happy to sit down anytime for a real conversation, but he just wants me to do the podcast again. It’s a little weird.”)

hah

he called Louis from the podcast recently -- they've got a weird relationship for sure

like, i don't just blame Maron. Louis CK is clearly a pretty weird guy too.

Sounds like an Apatow movie waiting to happen

anyone worthwhile is prob somewhat weird

its my only hope

Coming to public radio!

"...Night Of The Musuem and understanding that it (is) a well-paid job for dudes trying to make a film that entertains children."

Once upon a time this could be done artfully, but now United States of Low Expectations.

shit movies were better in your day huh

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

wow, the re-recorded bumper sounds terribly limp (at the end of the Apatow segment in polyp's link)

Shandling episode is GREAT!

Also, I now have a crush on Sue Costello.

(Caught up on several shows over the last couple days.)

loved Shandling...especially the way he tries to help Maron.

shandling episode was good, such a funny weird dude
steve byrne came off like an ignorant republican asshole

yeah i didnt warm to steve byrne. the dane cook story was funny though.

true, that was good

I didnt like Byrne at all.
Also Carlin's wife gave me weird vibes...loved the stories but she was a little odd

I've never heard the entire Dane Cook episode but in that clip he came across as such a douche, not able to laugh at himself at all and very concerned about Setting the Record Straight.

The Phil Rosenthal episode was very skippable.

I'm torn on Cook...I think Maron was kind of a dick, but Cook did feel kind of distant or guarded, and Maron was maybe trying to lighten him up
I felt like I understood Cook a little better though...I still dont like him but I'm glad he opened up a little, even if it wasnt quite what I wanted

Rosenthal is a boring interview, yeah, but I still kind of want to see his docucomedy.

And I agree that the Sally Wade ep was weird. I'd nodded off for a couple minutes toward the end and her crying woke me up.

The Jupiter thing got way more serious than I banked on

It was cool as a concept & very Carlin...but from her it was oddly intense

Wonder what her standup comedy was like? o_O

Yeah, I'm glad she's chosen to share all this stuff, but her personality is such that it's probably just more enjoyable to thumb through the book than to hear her speak about it.

^^^

i'm sure it's a horrible thing to think but i was kinda disappointed Carlin had a relationship with her. and the Jupiter alien letters stuff... well, I guess even brilliant ppl have embarrassing corny personal lives.

rosenthal was nice butnice like an uncle you are cool with sharing 10 minutes with every couple of months.

shandling trying to bring down america was o_O

Feels that way sometimes.

needs a bubble between the last two where he talks at length about his own relationship with his father

Maron is live in studio on the Best Show tonight. FYI!

cool!

Really enjoyed the Harmon interview. He seems like a very cool, genuine guy. And the self-doubt makes him more likeable to me, like oh hey I feel like that all the time & have done fuckall...makes me realize I really am the only obstacle to me doing cool things :)

every ilx person should call into the best show tonight 9pm est

Was kind of enjoying the pretense that Scharpling actually had a problem with Maron.

wth i didn't even read this thread but just trampled in here . so marc maron is on the best show tonight? crazy. ok fuck it i'm totally calling in. and i'm not even a marc maron person by any means god said it, i believe it, that settles it.

Ask him if those Ray Romano calls are staged.

I thought the Ray Romano call during the Rosenthal episode had to have been staged because Romano was worried about spoilers for his TV show when Maron never actually said, "This conversation is being broadcast for WTF."

Maybe he assumed it would be broadcast for WTF. Probably a fair assumption considering who Maron is.

True.

The Ray Romano calls were clearly a bit.
