WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

Seriously, love love LOVE this interview on every level, particularly as a Happy Days stan

winkler's been on a couple of podcasts i listen to recently and he seems like a genuinely fantastic guy

Tom Hanks is often called the nicest guy in Hollywood, but I think it's actually Henry Winkler.

@wattfrompedro ...back in my pedro town, just did righteous spiel w/brother marc maron at his pad - this cat's got focus, respect! http://t.co/U8NyMjycfG

Really looking forward to Watt interview!

Yesssssss!

Man, Maron's look is vastly improved over the Air America days.

100 days into the Obama administration? I thought he was done at AA before then, but maybe my memory is effed up.

he was fired for the last time July 2009

that sticker on his laptop looks like title frame from kenny vs. spenny

that's still preferable to his late 90s look

ha he looked older back then

I enjoyed the Robert Williams interview--kind of all over the place

Maron gets an interview show on Vice's cable channel:

Oh wow. This last one really was great.

and zach woods. I actually dig his guitar playing lately too :-/

You should start hanging out with dads

Dads with DA BLUEZ

yeah, I mean his bullshit is pentatonic+ but at least it's sloppy in a good way sometimes.

Honestly, since he started the guitar shit, I've said "hey, that's not bad" a few times. Wouldn't buy a musical album by him but it's pleasant enough.

yeah, definitely not wanting an album. Just impressed by his growth. Then again, I'm an episode away from hating it again.

Hearing Kenan Thompson swear is a trip.

oh, this will be a treat

stoked for the madness

and the 'who were your guys?'

and the part where Maron unintentionally reveals he's heard a firehose album, half of a minutemen album and nothing watt's done since then

itt music snobs diss marc maron

20 minutes about CCR

I've been listening to these less since I got laid off and I don't have to kill boredom at a desk, but I'm hearing the Parker Posey one now and I love the casual way they're determining whether or not they're actually old people.

does the Sam Seder one get interesting at some point?

nope

yeah i couldnt finish that one either

Sam Seder is such a drag in everything.

I always think he's the guy who produced 3rd Bass, Sam Sever.

I dropped off watching his tv show but the episode where he was drafted to impregnate the lesbian neighbors was quality

The second season was an improvement but he still occasionally forgets how to act for no apparent reason.

sam seder was the most interminable way imaginable to celebrate 600 episodes

otm

The Parker Posey one was one if the best ones in a long time

Sam Seder is such a drag in everything.

f this

He was interminable on Air America, he's a dud every time he's on Chris Hayes's msnbc show, and he's so petty with Marc. Those things are the only things I know him from, but he has yet to make me feel any other emotion for him but "ugh, really?"

i skip him now, i find him kinda bothersome

Fine. I enjoy his show about 100x more than WTF

The interview was disappointing tho since Maron and Seder irritate the fuck out of one another and little of that was on display

People seem to be posting old photos of Marc Maron on twitter tonight. This one is from 1980-ish according to Maron.

ooo: https://twitter.com/marcmaron/status/599956488602398720

David Byrne's got a lot of guys so this should be interesting.

Special 2 hour episode, 90 minutes of which consists of Marc looking up names on Wikipedia.

Jill Berto Jill... Nope, nothin

I loled at this response to Jezebel's call for celebrities being dicks stories:

I critiqued Marc Maron’s interviewing style on a message board I didn’t know he read. This was during the first year or so of WTF and it seemed to me like every time his guest was a woman or some kind of ethnic/sexual minority, he’d focus so squarely on that aspect of them and ignore everything else. He wasn’t being a bigot, per se, but it made me, and seemingly some of his guests, uncomfortable. It felt like he was on a cultural safari of sorts. I pointed this out, perhaps in an aggressively trying-too-hard-to-be-funny manner. And holy shit did he get payback.

Maron puts on his detective hat and doxes me essentially, not replying on the messageboard, but figuring out my real name and harassing me on facebook. We went back and forth for MONTHS. Dozens of long unhinged messages. Then, not being famous for boundaries, he makes me part of his act, mentioning the exchange on multiple podcasts, making his stalking seem quaint and quirky, and recasts me as some stereotypical mean troll-type, which wasn’t true at all, but I guess others disagreed because I started getting hatemail from a bunch of his creepy super-fans. And that’s how I left Facebook.

THEN like three fucking years later the event becomes the basis for the first episode of his dumb tv show. The whole thing turned me off to comedy nerd-dom, cost me some real-life friends, self-esteem, dignity, etc... That said, I learned a lot and the fiasco prompted a lot of self-reflection/growth and a few years later I’m in a much better place. The story already feels very dated: SOOO 2011, amiright?

But yes, don’t piss off Maron, he’s out of his gourd.
