WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

I was at the show too (the 10 p.m. taping)) and thought the same. Really comfortable and in control of what he's doing, even when he lost the thread of where he was going. When Bobcat made a voice-over staging comment ("move the mic stand back to that spot" or something), Maron got him to say something in the old Bobcat voice. Interesting to see Maron in public in front of hundreds, versus having public conversations in private rooms.

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.

MIKE WATT

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

love this already and I'm barely 25 minutes in

Man, the disclaimer wasn't kidding about the gross-out stuff at the top of the interview.

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.

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

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?

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.

plus it was a giant abscess that was looped around his colon & all kinds of craziness

or something

ahh yah he was walking with a cain during the fIREHOSE reuinion

dean or herman

it was a twist

big-train storyteller

Old Lunch: the Constance Zimmer ep opens with a long story about his Chicago shows.

Obama who are your guys?

Obama will finally let us know that deep down inside he's just a sad clown

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.

i guess this is the ultimate rejoinder to those who criticise the lack of african-american guests huh

I hope Marc tries to get the president into Beefheart.

this is nuts btw

hardwick must be so bummed

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

Whiney, do you remember how old you were when you turned 73?

At least he doesn't post on message boards

I remember the first time I saw a president in a "talkie"

Obama is Racoon Tanuki

whiney, they're just recordings of people talking, it's really nbd.

Lorne Michaels is his white whale.

when will Marc host SNL?

terry gross and maron are the worst interviewers but were utterly charming together.

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.

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 thought Whiney went over to the dark side on the podcast thing

Would rather hear O on Gilbert Gottfried's podcast or maybe TV Guidance Counselor

obama did BS report three years ago

http://grantland.com/the-triangle/b-s-report-barack-obama/

Whiney too busy exposing the truth behind the phenomenon of tumblr whites at the time to blow the lid off that story

Is he trying to shore up all the disillusioned youngsters he took for a ride to get into office? I'd like to hear why he hopped to it for TPP but everything else, meh...
