WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

oh yeah I forgot about Tambor, he was fun

"you're cool school"

WTF indeed...Fiona Apple on Monday?

shut up

wow

Good week! According to Maron's twitter, John Oliver is on Thursday.

awesome

Fiona Apple is like a cross between a 5 year old and a...well I'm not quite sure yet what the other part is.

She doesn't even have to really elaborate on what her deeper issues are because you can feel them on the surface, in the tone of her voice and the way she talks...she's a really strange girl.

Endearing somehow, though. Maybe because I already like her music so I'm more inclined to hear her out. But man alive I dunno if I've encountered anyone who's THAT non-linear in just general conversation.

Just cued it up

Last 20 to 30 minutes gets pretty real

I think anything would seem real compared to small talk about juicers.

colonics too weee O_o

She's a peculiar girl, no doubt about it.

Odd episode, but also maybe one of my favorites? I dunno. Plenty to think about.

It was really interesting to me that she could be so discombobulate and then occasionally she could just take a quiet moment, gather her thought s and totally drive a point home so concisely.

*discombobulated

What did everyone think of the one before this new one...some woman named Benincasa?

I haven't listened to her yet -- sounded like an interesting premise though

is it good?

she wasn't anything special, but i enjoy all but a very few of the WTF podcasts....the first few minutes of their convo is very "get a room you two"

jb smoove's hour long monologue was pretty great

New John Oliver interview is v enjoyable. Though I wanted to climb through my headphones and push Maron out of the way when Oliver casually says he befriended Richard Ayoade in his first year of Cambridge. "Okay that it I'm taking over this interview, Maron, I love you but you are BUFFOON"

lol

Can we come up witt a comprehensive list of Maron's ye olde classics for various subjects

England: Stewart Lee changed my life
SNL: Did you meet Lorne Michaels

Daily Show: Please for the love of god tell me a bad story about John Stewart so I can feel better for being a dick to him all those years

What was his response to Oliver re Ayoade?

Black Comics: Please tell everyone I'm right about Black Clubs

it went by and Maron waited a few beats & said "should i know who he is" and Oliver said IT Crowd/submarine...it was just kinda shrugged off :(

(xpost)

Eating disorders: I eat stuff occasionally and then feel bad.

Music: i have shitty taste in music and don't know anything about creating music

Other people's parents: Mine messed me up because my Dad also has 'issues'.

religion: i wasnt taught how to 'use' it

Sports: *blank stare*

Books: I own a bunch of them I'll never read. It makes me feel bad. I know this one fiction writer and talk about him alot.

Politics: I hate republicans, but details bore me. Sam Seder is a dick.

The Blues: who are your guys?

well at least Maron mentioned the Bugle. I remember when Oliver was on the Nerdist and he brought up the Bugle the nerds had seemingly never heard of it.

revoke their nerd membership, imho

I love how Oliver gamely attempts to steer off the Lorne thing, "I've not met Lorne, so...".

Marc Maron, Comedian and Host of 'WTF,' on Interviewing Musicians

Interesting note towards the end about a particular interview he may be lining up in the near future.

!!! :D

that interview would probably feature the most interesting answer to "Who are your guys?"

o_0 at Maron's disbelief at Oliver's disinterest in the Jubilee

yeah that was pretty annoying

well Maron likes to stereotype people based on what city or country or ethnicity or religion they come from. witness all the talk about "hill people" on today's show. it's like he flies to these places, walks around for five minutes, decides everyone there is an anti-semite, tells his audience that night a bunch of half-formed impressions of their city.

he really does! when he was talking to jillian lauren, it was like he couldn't figure out who she was until she said "i'm a fucked up jewish girl from the suburbs" and he was like "ooooooh, now i get it." because she had finally conformed to a stereotype he was familiar with. It was funny, but probably not how he intended.

basically if someone is not from california or the northeast, his first question is "who lives there? it's not a real place, right?"

for a guy who acts like such a knowitall, it's p ignorant

or at least pathologically self-centered
