I'd never heard of Dax Shepard before his interview with Maron.

Man, I don't know, I got a totally different vibe from Dax. It sounded more like he was fully aware that he was a total d-bag, but has reformed quite a bit. Seemed like a pretty genuine guy that had a pretty decent handle on how he's fucked up in the past and how he's moving forward.

Also, that "pedestrian" threw a full cup of something at the windshield of the car Dax was driving. Dax might have gone overboard, but dude needed his ass beat.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 September 2014 15:31 (nine years ago) link
yeah, i'm sure the cup throwing was completely unprovoked
― Now you're messing with a (President Keyes), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 15:55 (nine years ago) link
i'm not sure if you're just trolling now or what, but he gave a pretty solid rundown of the whole incident. i doubt that anything deserved a public ass-kicking, but you're trying to make it sound like Dax just randomly jumped out of his vehicle and started beating the shit out of a completely innocent bystander, which was very much not the case from the story he told. again, yes, it's a dick move for Dax to handle it the way he did, but let's not keep pretending it happened with zero context.

xpost I saw that "Neighbors" movie Nick Stoller made, and it was such a piece of shit. There's like 10 minutes of movie, and then the rest is as if the director died and the replacement couldn't find the script and had to construct a movie out of hours of improvised takes based on the actors getting a one sentence pitch of the premise and just told "action!" You can practically picture the studio going oh crap, the movie's only 40 minutes long, what do we do now!? If I saw "Neighbors" before I interviewed Nick Stoller, I don't think I would be very respectful either.

xpost I didn't say the walker didn't throw anything at the car, but there was something about Dax that made me doubt that he wasn't giving a self-serving version of events. But maybe there wasn't a crosswalk and maybe the thrower was just a prick. But I've had experiences with aggressive cars while trying to cross a street where I'd probably have thrown a Big Gulp if I'd had one handy. Whatever, I guess you guys like him.
― Now you're messing with a (President Keyes), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 18:31 (nine years ago) link
I only really know the guy from Idiocracy, don't really care one way or the other about him. Again, not defending him beating this guy up, but I think you're downplaying how dangerous it is to throw anything at the windshield of a moving vehicle - crosswalk or not.

i haven't listened to the nick frost interview yet -- is it good?
and what about Kathy Griffin? is that worth a listen?
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 23 September 2014 19:18 (nine years ago) link
Griffin was an okay interview, though it made me like her even less that I already did. She definitely thinks very highly of herself.

yeah, i guess in truth I don't care if he's nice to Nick Stoller that much - and anyone who refers to themselves making artisinal bread deserves what he gets... it's more just why the fuck are you talking to Nick Stoller, Dax Sheppard and Kathy Griffin in rapid succession? The odd odious show biz type is great - and Maron can be at his best in full-on aggressive mode: Andy Dick, Gallagher, Mencia, Carrot Top - all amazing. But these recent ones aren't anywhere near as engaging as those.

i thought the kathy griffin one was great actually. her family situation sounds so deeply crazy.
― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 24 September 2014 14:08 (nine years ago) link
he's probably dumping some of weaker interviews on us knowing that comedy nerds will forget about after he drops the Tim & Eric one tomorrow

does he seem a little off in the Parnell interview?

like more so than the usual

kinda worried about him

he said he's on the verge of breakthrough. maybe it's all the euphoria.

I listened to the Parnell interview and his questions about Baptists were really embarrassing.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 15:07 (nine years ago) link
yeah "aren't those the guys with the snakes?" re: any southern Christians is still not funny, even after the fourth or fifth time he's trotted it out. agree he seems manic and sliding off the rails lately.
― Brio2, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 17:58 (nine years ago) link
I think the fact that he's always trying to reach for an easy joke makes it hard for him to process new information when speaking to people--which is why he trots out some incorrect facts and anecdotes again and again even after being corrected on them.
― you walk on the street, grab the rock (President Keyes), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:07 (nine years ago) link
he seems manic-y for sure
― i blow goat farts, aka garts for a living (waterface), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:20 (nine years ago) link
it's so annoying how he resents almost all of his guests/is jealous of them, ESPECIALLY tim and eric
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:31 (nine years ago) link
huh i don't get that sense from him.
― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:36 (nine years ago) link
he comes off very hostile to them and, bizarrely, can't grasp their sense of humor/what they're 'all about', and he's angry they're so popular
"TGIF? So that was it? That was the joke? What's funny about that? Huh?"
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:42 (nine years ago) link
I think he was honest in that Tim and Eric podcast about being jealous of their success and pushing the "I just don't get it" thing because of that. He comes right out and says as much, if I recall correctly.
But Tim Heidecker seemed like he nailed what Maron really objected to about them: that he saw Tim and Eric as emotionally detached or not revealing anything about who they really are as people in their comedy. Maron brushes it off - but it sounded right to me. Maron's very into the warrior-poet, confessional, bleeding-to-death on stage ideal - any kind of an "act" or schtick gets his back up.
― Brio2, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 18:59 (nine years ago) link
tim & eric aside, i don't get a lot of resentment from him during interviews of the more famous guests, if anything it's the lesser-known comedians that he pushes more.
― festival culture (Jordan), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 19:04 (nine years ago) link
If anything, I think he has pushed the "I used to be jealous of you but now we are hashing it out so we can be friends" angle WAAAY too hard since the success of the Louis CK episode.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 19:10 (nine years ago) link
Like it worked really well that time so he keeps going back to the well.
yeah - that's the whole "Are we good?" thing (for a guy who hates schtick, he certainly has his share). I know it's kind of a crutch - but I think the hashing out old beefs thing actually has produced some of his most interesting stuff. Or at least he feels lost without it - which is why the music interviews seem so aimless a lot of the time.
what did you all think of the Rivers Cuomo interview?
― Brio2, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 19:19 (nine years ago) link
I actually do get them, and I'm also angry they're popular. Ugh.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 19:20 (nine years ago) link
I'm always baffled by the notion that Tim and Eric are popular. Outside of my girlfriend and my brother, I don't know if I personally know anyone else who's into them.
― Certified Genious (Old Lunch), Wednesday, 8 October 2014 19:22 (nine years ago) link
The out-and-out resentment of success angle of "are we good?" has actually faded a lot - he's a legit famous guy with a TV show who talks to movie stars every other day now - kind of hard for him to be the unjustly unappreciated Lenny Bruce guy when he's interviewing Claire Danes or whatever.
― Brio2, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 19:23 (nine years ago) link
tbh I haven't noticed any significant change in his behavior/attitude during interviews, or even during the monologues, in quite a while.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 8 October 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link
Yeah I can't say I see anything alarming about his behaviour lately either.
