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.

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.

Dr. Drew: [Long explanation of traumatic anxiety from wanting to do good and help people and having views distorted by tabloids.]

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.

Vivino's fun to listen to.
― 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.

Mulaney: You saw my worst show ever.Maron: (alluding to some other show he saw....which, ouch!)Mulaney: No, I'm talking about Aspen.Maron: I was there?Mulaney: You were the host.

man Maron's tone in some of that Mulaney interview, it's like old bitter Maron was waiting in the wings to come out gunning for the young successful new guy. not overt, but just the timing of the questions...jeez
like boom STRAIGHT into how long he's been sober with no leadup
I'm enjoying the conversation and I think Mulaney's great but I felt a bit embarrasssed for Maron that he still can't help doing that
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 18 November 2014 02:46 (nine years ago) link
Have listened to half this Dr. Drew thing and it's totally living up to my expectations. A Platonic example of the interaction where guest says "I don't really want to talk about _____" and Maron says "yeah but we're gonna" and then somehow they do.
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Tuesday, 18 November 2014 04:39 (nine years ago) link
I don't really spend any time at all in the Dr. Drew-verse, so I didn't realize until a couple days ago that his wife Susan has her own radio show that focuses on psychics and mediums and astrology and alien abductions and shit. That's...odd.

In the Rhett Miller interview, he mentions that his parents continued supporting him while he was a struggling comedian and I lost all possibly sympathy for his bitching about his parents.

The whole exchange between Rhett and Marc about the suicide attempt was pretty funny, paraphrasing obvs:
