WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

I don't know if I entirely bought his theories about tabloid culture, but I found it interesting that it was something he'd clearly thought a lot about.

btw 25-year-old Maron upthread seriously uncanny somehow.

looking forward to Dick Van Dyke on Monday.

oh no way. awesome

sweet

Holy shit. I'm listening to this Lynn Shawcroft episode and my mind is kinda being blown. I knew her by name thanks to Mitch, but I didn't know anything about her or know what she looked like. Anyway, long story short, turns out that the extremely inebriated, but extremely friendly "Lynn" I was talking to in a hotel in L.A. last fall was her. Weird because the whole conversation started when she overheard someone talking about Maron and we talked a little bit about comedy and Mitch, but at the time she just said, "yeah, I knew Mitch really well" and kind of changed the subject to talk about other comedians. She was really nice, but, wow, this is so weird in retrospect.

I love listening to Dick Van Dyke speak. It's so comforting.

lol @ him laying into Mad Men about it being inauthentic.

Adam Parfrey! Haven't listened yet but kind of excited.

the Dick Van Dyke episode was good. Not MEl Brooks good, but very engaging.

Gave up on the Parfrey half way through. He seemed interesting but Marc was at his sycophantic worst.

When he started bitching about Art Spiegelman it was weird

I either zoned out or turned it off by then.

i liked parfrey a lot. im not a conspiracy guy in the slightest but just human nature-speaking it's cool. i have apocolypse culture, most of it is too far off the deep end but even those essays def hold their fascination too imo. he just seems like a provocateur & generally curious abt lyfe, etc, lol @ "living up there w/ old hippies"

Hey, the episode with that Mountain Goats guy was pretty good!

What great questions for Franco:
What was that Oscars thing all about?
What do you think of Freaks and Geeks?

the ending of it was kinda mortifying, like marons entire sense of self worth was abt to crumble. they were really bad questions tho, like, 'so lots of your projects are just goofs rite?'

I saw him Tweeting with Phil Hendrie about recording their episode - this is such amazing news. Has the possibility to get pretty heavy and deep in places.

Oh man, totally want to hear that! I've always wanted to hear Phil on Comedy Bang Bang, too. Somebody make it happen.

WHERE ARE SETHRO AND JAH???????

if he meant "we're recording with maron in a week or two" then expect to hear it 6 months from now

Not this one

WTF indeed

uhh yeah maron WTF

haha

my prediction is that seth's confidence is going to scare maron so he'll spend the whole show getting philosophical with jah while seth scats away any cat that comes with 20 ft of him.

He's mentioned talking to Jah in some recent eps but hasn't seemed clear if he means for the podcast or just when they first ran into each other

who the fuck are these ppl

OH

MY

GOD

you did not just say that

uyd.xls

Huh, I looked it up, but I have literally never heard of "Uhh Yeah Dude."

i've heard of that but not those dudes, nor have i listened to it.

Their names didn't ring bells at first either, but now I see the show title I know who they are. I listened to "Uhh Yeah Dude" a couple of times a while back but didn't find it engaging or amusing.

EZ Slappin u right now

Is there a particular episode I should listen to? Or better, a handful? I've randomly dropped in and out a couple times but not getting the appeal.

Episode 297 had the letters from the Korean students, but perhaps you have to be a fan already to find that as funny as i did

ez snappin ;_;

schneider ep today, v entertaining

Maron seemed unenthusiastic about the interview in the intro and outro

that could apply to a lot of them.

The Dean Delray one was very fun, sorta like Wayne's World.

i skip intros but yeah idk, schneider rambled a lot maybe mark didnt get to talk enough or get enough gossip on lorne

Anyone listen to this, yet?

no, listened to his long episode of This Feels Terrible last week though

Saw him for free at Holy Fuck Comedy on Tuesday - his psychodrama bit with Fat Marc is witheringly funny.

i can't decide if that's a great or an awful combination of people

huh. i would have expected maron to be more aware of / engaged with the nardwuar brand somehow

i would have expected maron to be more aware of / engaged

This is a mistake in almost any situation.
