Today's interview is a step outside the norm. Maron gets to condemn pedophilia in the black community a lot.

sure but that episode is by no means his standard interview approach.
chris parnell one was sooooo boring. :(

Marc's meeting with the former President brings up bad memories of the time he ran for class president and lost.

wtf was that shit about ebola in the parnell open?

good musician-on-musician podcasts i've been listening to lately:
I'll add How Did I Get Here to the list, but the Austin localism does fly over my head sometimes.

Kenneth Starr! Yeah, that guy did some stuff. Who were your other guys?

Did you ever have that moment where you're like, 'There is no Plan B. If this presidency thing doesn't work out I'm going back to being a line cook.'? I worked as a line cook. Once I sauteed this guy's onions perfectly and he sent them back. So anyway, ever hear The Stooges on vinyl? It's crazy, right?

He's basically said all of those things--just not to Bill Clinton

woo Larry Wilmore! Hope Marc doesn't make this terrible.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 October 2014 15:16 (nine years ago) link
God I love Larry Wilmore.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 13 October 2014 17:05 (nine years ago) link
The Wilmore one was actually pretty great and interesting. But I swear, Marc is about six months away from a spin-off podcast called, So, Who Are Your Black Guys?.

Went to one of the Trepany House shows tonight. Silly at times and I'll never tire of the ice cream story. I like it when Marc goes contemptous - mercilessly on Sting of all people "someone who needs to be recognized." Maladjustment in the life a middle-tier cable show celebrity is suddenly more relatable. Seeing him live go from zero to full-out rage is still "whoa!" moment (was talking about going from Skype sex to Skype fighting). Fully realize that I am being one of the bloggers he mocks by writing this.

I don't think I could spend more than five minutes in the same room with Bob Rubin before going insane.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 16 October 2014 16:33 (nine years ago) link
i couldn't make it more than five minutes in the same room with his podcast.
― festival culture (Jordan), Friday, 17 October 2014 16:40 (nine years ago) link
The Rubin podcast was almost too much to bear. Marc handled it pretty well, and was able to maintain at least a little objectivity when Rubin was talking about the REALLY dark times.
Does anyone else feel like a total fucking tourist when you hear stories like this one, the details surrounding Robin Williams' private life, or other mental health/chemical dependency issues? I constantly go very quickly from (1) Man, that's fucked up, to (2) I'm glad that's not me, to (3) Man, I feel guilty about using someone else's bad times to make myself feel better about my own.

Maron on Buddhism was great. "So you know that movie The Last Detail, when Randy Quaid is hanging out with those hippies? That's basically where Buddhism was coming from in that era, right? Amazing how many cults there were in Los Angeles in the 60's and 70's. So anyways..."
― Brio2, Tuesday, 21 October 2014 15:57 (nine years ago) link
in his search for self Maron has picked up much wisdom

Pre-interview Marc bores me for the most part (like most ppl) but his Sting story was funny. Rob Rubin is a good stand-up, there's some stuff of his on YouTube/Vimeo although not a lot.

Rubin's the second guy on WTF who used to be part of Comedy Corner at the University of AZ. (The other was Graham Elwood.)

lol @ Andre Arroyo's story about seeing Rocky in a black theater and the whole audience rooting for the white guy to beat up the black guy. THAT'S MOVIE MAGIC.

Royo, even.

I dug that conversation, and am VERY glad they took a long time to get to the Wire. Dude had an interesting upbringing, and was a good interviewee. He and Maron were obviously having a good time talking with each other.
― Hydroelectric New Deal Demiurge (B.L.A.M.), Friday, 24 October 2014 19:22 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, that was a fun interview to hear. I've still never even watched The Wire, so when I do I'll be looking extra forward to seeing his part.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 24 October 2014 19:25 (nine years ago) link
Pretty sure he's the only character in each of the five seasons that's not a cop. As noted in the interview, he's the common thread for the whole story.
Shit, now I wanna go watch the Wire again.

Oh man, 15 minutes into this and it's like Marc Maron has a checkup with Dr. Drew.

Dr. Drew: [Long explanation of traumatic anxiety from wanting to do good and help people and having views distorted by tabloids.]
Marc: So did you ever try Viagra? How about that?
― the man with the black wigs (Eazy), Thursday, 6 November 2014 08:08 (nine years ago) link
marc seemed really eager to talk over the guy to explain his own Deep Thoughts About Human Psychology

when i used to listen to Dan Savage more, i remember that he would often bring up the dumb/ignorant viewpoints held by Dr. Drew, but forget the details. something about being prone to pathologizing people's sexuality.
― festival culture (Jordan), Thursday, 6 November 2014 15:03 (nine years ago) link
Dr. Drew also believes that women who speak with high pitched voices were molested as children.

― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 6 November 2014 18:48 (nine years ago) link
yeah i remember the voice thing became a pretty gross running joke with him and corolla on loveline where they'd put the caller on hold and try to guess at what age and how many times she was molested. i remember thinking "maybe these two should stop doing this show, it's turning them into monsters"

The whole section about Dr. Drew's early involvement in the AIDS crisis, and how that directly led to a call-in show for talking aloud about sex, was especially interesting.
