i love those two beefing. golden gloves

ha ha i've had an ongoing debate with a friend about the MIB ep of WTF, where i side with MIB and think that maron was being a dick and she sides with maron and thinks that MIB was being a dick. that's what happens when two comedians with dick personas get together i guess.

i want them to have a tv series like the Odd Couple together. they're great

awww andy with his ooooo! <3<3

^^ otm

wow, is that twitter spat 'funny'? 'i got it at the charity shop lol' fucking hell

actually im gonna bail on this thread, comedy podcasts ffs

im with DY on this one. reminds me of cher's 'no its your designer imposter perfume' zing at amber from clueless. funny for high school but embarrassing for middle aged men. the way these fools get upset at any perceived slight is a huge red flag for paranoid psychopathy imo. and by these fools i mean most comedians

if you've even listened to only a handful of WTF episodes, you should know how incredibly insecure of sociopathic comedians are. not really a surprise to see 49 year-old comedians in a pissy twitbeef.

of = and, i'm exhausted

but it's also a persona they both put on whenever they talk to each other. like this is just kind of, i dunno, sport, for them.
maron does the same thing with Josh Malina now and then, it's funny.

i get a kick out of it. idk.

GUYS i was thinking with all these old-school comedians on WTF lately - can you imagine if marc interviewed jerry lewis?

I finally finished listening to the Sam Simon one. The part that really offended me was when he referred to Jennifer Tilly as the world's best female poker player.

loool

I loved loved loved the Brooks, Reiner and Dick Van Dyke interviews. The Shelly Berman one was interesting too, though he seemed like a much tougher interview. I would love more of those old Hollywood guys.

would love him to get into some of the Laugh In cast or Carol Burnett etc.

BOB NEWHART

i think he's talked about wanting to interview those guys (jerry lewis, newhart, etc), just needs someone to hook it up

if he interviews lewis i just want them to be dicks to each other for an hour. probably wouldn't happen though :(

yeah newhart would be great. and lewis. all of em!

Carol Burnett and Bob Newhart ftw! I'd probably listen to Jerry Lewis's if it were to happen, but a lot of that guy's shine has worn off for me since I was a kid.

oh and Dick Cavett's on my wishlist too. I could listen to him talk all day

oh i don't like lewis at all. i just know he's a notoriously difficult interview so i think the results would be interesting.

i know maron doesnt do uk comedy but its a shame he is missing out on a bunch of classic era comedians from over here. python, being an easy, worldly example.

god if only someone could finally get Pythons interviewed

ok sure but that is just one name out of like 50 who its a shame maron doesnt know exists

Enh, as good as the Stewart Lee WTF interview was, I don't really want to listen to Maron bluffing his way through interviews with any more UK comedians than he chooses to already. I'd much rather a UK comedian who was as equally incisive and well-connected as Maron started their own podcast to work their way through the history of British comedy. Struggling to think of anyone who might fit the bill, though.

Richard Herring is doing an ok job but i dont like the live audience thing

John fuckin' Fogerty on Monday!

Maron's a huge CCR-head, so I'm partly expecting this:

Psyched for Fogerty!

lol

That's hilarious.

(and "Proud Mary" is similarly mono)

ha ha i've had an ongoing debate with a friend about the MIB ep of WTF, where i side with MIB and think that maron was being a dick and she sides with maron and thinks that MIB was being a dick. that's what happens when two comedians with dick personas get together i guess.

Ha was this friends jw? (not Jon Williams)

friend

yes

lol this Pamela Adlon episode is filthy, but also hilarious.

this guy's show is ... not good. he may v well be a funny guy, but his acting is leaden.

(talking abotu the TV show)

I've only seen the first two, but I haven't been in a rush to see the ones since then.

yeah I hate to say it but it feels kinda, idk, desperate?

whatever it is, I'm not feeling it.

I watched the one about the dead animal under the house and made a mental note to never watch the show again.

I liked Marc more when I'd only see him on Conan occasionally, and when he'd release a new album, and when he was just on the radio and/or in the early days of WTF. I even like WTF now. But I think the tv show was one step too far. I'm starting to feel suffocated by his neuroses and generally lifesucking presence.

i agree, he's better in an off-the-cuff medium rather than scripted

Same one I saw. Thought it was okay, but that was several weeks ago and I haven't made an effort to go back and seek out more, so I suppose that says something.

(xpost)

I liked the two I saw. Didn't see the dead animal one. I like the show. I like the interviews. I like some of his rambling. But I don't like his standup.

I like his standup more than his podcast or his tv show
