We were at the same show! Maron said at one point they'd probably use the earlier show for the special and that he'd just let the show we were at be the weird one. And he made some comment later about how something didn't matter because they'd probably scrap the taping and Bobcat came on-mic and told him that that was his self-loathing talking because ours was the better show. I kinda hope they release it as-is, broken glasses and all.

ha ha at the exchange around 42 minutes in when Watt compares disco and punk as reactions to arena rock and Maron starts babbling about high school

Man, the disclaimer wasn't kidding about the gross-out stuff at the top of the interview.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:28 (eight years ago) link
right!? super gross. but kinda fascinating

TV ep w Bruce Bruce was quality. Altho show kinda becoming CYE lite

Haha, disclaimer for gross out stuff? Sounds like a Watt interview alright.
― circa1916, Thursday, 11 June 2015 15:52 (eight years ago) link
and I just love that Watt is this incredible freight-train storyteller, to the point where Maron basically just hitches himself to the back as it's going by
the different dynamic makes it p enjoyable
― difficult-difficult lemon-difficult (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 11 June 2015 16:18 (eight years ago) link
wow, the grossout warning was not overstated
vg otm - amazing and endearing how much energy and enthusiasm watt has, even when discussing his septic taint. was it just me or did he seem to get briefly choked up when talking about d. boon and the crash?
― bizarro gazzara, Thursday, 11 June 2015 18:07 (eight years ago) link
yeah he got real quiet :(

please tell what the gross stuff is i stopped listening to mike watt talk about 7 years ago and i dont want to start now

He developed a bump in his taint and it eventually exploded leaving a crater and gushed pus voluminously.

hope maron presses obama on the compelling evidence that obama played a key role in nasa's development of a jump gate to mars in the early 80s

Looking forward to hearing about Obama's record collection.

is this the first sitting president to be on a "podcast"

The leader of the free world is going to be on something called a "podcast"
Lol that Maron can get Obama but Lorne and Seinfeld are beyond him

terry gross and maron are the worst interviewers but were utterly charming together.
― Cory Sklar, Thursday, 18 June 2015 19:50 (eight years ago) link
If Maron hosts SNL, I hope the whole episode is just him asking the cast members he hasn't spoken to yet about Lorne.

This is pretty forced fake outrage considering podcasts basically didn't exist during any previous presidency.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Thursday, 18 June 2015 20:22 (eight years ago) link
Also Obama being on Between Two Ferns is way crazier than him being on WTF.
Someone should let a mod know that Whiney's log in has been hacked by Fox & Friends

Too late now but if Obama had wanted to do a more popular podcast he could shown up and pardoned Adnan

I like the idea of the President being Maron's housemate after his term ends.
