WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

This is funny/telling:

I'm sad on the inside that Stewart and Maron can't be friends, but have no trouble at all believing that it's entirely because of Maron's behavior.

lol at George Stromboulopolpomolous

wait is that doofus on wtf this week??

Oh, I don't know--was just looking up something related to Maron/Louie after last night's Louie episode, saw that video.

OMG the way he is pronouncing Josh GROW-BAN is going to drive me batty.

The first episode of season 2 of Maron showed up on Hulu, so I decided to watch it--having bailed on season 1 after two episodes. It's hard to remember another show like this that has potential, but the wrong choice is made in every scene. Like, there were some things that could have been funny--Maron, Hardwick and MIB sniping at each other, Jen not wanting to be talked about in Maron's act--but somehow they always went for the most stilted option to play a scene. The only thing that rang true was that Maron totally would not shut up if he was forced to watch the Walking Dead.

so do we suspect he's dating another fan?

Who else would date him?

Moon Zappa.

Sure, yeah.

probably that stand-up he interviewed a few weeks ago

you think she's moved out of the state since the interview?

i'll hire a detective and find out

Rosanne Cash is one I've been looking forward to, and it doesn't disappoint so far. She's such a great talker.

christ, how far in advance does he tape? i've been waiting for the bret easton ellis episode for a month now, maybe more like 3 weeks, maybe 2....STILL

You'll probably have to wait until the hype cycle for The Curse of Downers Grove ramps up.

lol

thought that was a joke but it's the title of the movie he's been making

excited to hear Roseanne! i love her

There's an episode of Maron on Bret Easton Ellis's podcast to tide you over, if you haven't heard.

yeah i heard it....

i've listened to every episode of BEE's podcast since it started, but i can only take Maron in really, *really* small doses. he's insufferable but i realize that BEE is just as insufferable to others

christ, how far in advance does he tape? i've been waiting for the bret easton ellis episode for a month now, maybe more like 3 weeks, maybe 2....STILL

Sometimes 4 months, sometimes 2 days.

Really enjoyed the Vince Vaughan episode. Genuinely a very funny guy which was a surprise. To me at least.

LOL

@marcmaron Imagine how we feel

Okay this is way more Maron simulating sex with a woman than I needed to see.

i lolled at Maron's: "Taylor Swift is a lesbian?"

"Is this getting too Jew-y?"

the jack antonoff one was way more engaging than i expected.

Maron is on Norm MacDonald's podcast this week. Great episode - talks about psychotic breaks, AA, interviewing, stand-up life, etc. Cool to hear them just yakking without the show context of WTF

Mike Meyers ep is great. I particularly enjoyed the couple of anecdotes about young Dave Foley.

for some reason, i was surprised to find out that Shrek was A) originally supposed to be Farly and 2) wasn't done originally with a Scottish accent.

i was surprised that Shrek is a Scottish ogre (never seen it)

Mike Myers' extended telling of the story behind the Wayne's World sketch with Tom Hanks and Aerosmith is awesome, because that's always been one of my favorite things he ever did on the show.

Claire Danes today!

Don't flirt too much, Marc!

I've downloaded it, but tbh the idea of listening to Claire Danes speak for an hour about whatever is not making me excited.

Maron was driving me nuts with all the "yeah"s "right"s "uh huh uh huh"s and sentence finishing in the Danes interview. It was like he had a plane to catch.

Mike Myers ep is gold

Decided to listen to Claire Danes. Marc seems disappointed that she's not as mentally disturbed as he'd like her to be.

Today's is great.

I don't think I ever knew that Bob Newhart had never really done any live standup before he recorded his first album—which went on to win Album of the Year and net him a Best New Artist Grammy in 1961.

that stuff about Dean Martin was hilarious -- Dean just rolls into the show in the afternoon & is genuinely cracking up at Newhart because it's the first time he's heard the material. Like Maron says, it totally makes sense I just never knew that's how it went down. Crazy.

great interview, seems like such a nice man

Love Bob Newhart so much that I'm actually listening to WTF.

<3

"I like Francis a lot, what he's doing."
"Wha--who's that?"
"Pope Francis."

As much as I love Mould as a musician, the best part of his interview today is when he's talking about professional wrestling stuff.

I'm watching the 1st episode of Maron right now (it's just started on Fox over here). Maron can't act.

He gets better in the second season. Still distracting sometimes.
