WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

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.

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"

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

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...

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

NYT talks to Maron after the interview.

this interview fucked up my commute to work

then again that happens every time the president comes to LA for money, ie, every 3 months.

Wait until Katt Williams comes to the garage

lol at the black helicopters riff

He actually asked who his guys were

It was like he suddenly couldn't believe the chance to ask had come up, and it burst out of him so rounded and joyful

it was kind of exciting! looking forward to thursday when him & brendan get into all the behind the scenes stuff

so dumb the headline every site is running about this interview

proceed directly to Kissinger, Marc Maron

Hank's too busy with Colbert

it pretty much went how i expected but I aint mad about it

"am i in the orange chair?"

Like the first 3 or 4 minutes were totally shootin' the breeze kind of talk and you know Obama was thinking "oh boy, I never get to have these kinds of conversations anymore" and then it quickly became a conversation with "The President." Mildly disappointed, but I still got to hear him speak in an easier manner than the one to which I'm accustomed.

yes, it seemed like at the beginning Obama was ready to pull out the smart-ass routine he did on "Between Two Ferns" and I started wondering how well he knew Maron's podcast

johnny fever otm, that was kinda how i felt too

Pretty boring tbh

seems like he knew or was briefed on the podcast v well

btwn 2 ferns was prob mostly scripted?

some of it was, but O ad-libbed a lot

"Obama uses racial slur in interview" is now an MSN headline

u_u

The more surprising thing is that Marc Maron did not say "fuck" once

Anderson Cooper did a whole panel segment on it tonight

on the one-hour interview, or about literally one single word that Obama said in it?

someone go back to the Patrice O'Neal episode and check whether he used any mildly off-colour words when discussing racism, I'll get my handkerchief ready for fanning

If you're ever in need of a textbook example of missing the forest for one tree, this is it. So much pearl clutching over the use of the word that it seems to have shut down the conversation on every other point he was making. Bravo, America!

I think it was on the usage. The sound wasn't up on the wallscreen in the restaurant.

listening to O for an hour isn't really like a forest, unless the trees are being bombed, deported, or mined for metadata.

may be the dumbest thing I've ever seen on tv

listening to O for an hour isn't really like a forest, unless the trees are being bombed, deported, or mined for metadata.

Literally might be the lamest zing I've ever heard about anything ever

He didn't even bother coming up with a "witty" nickname for Obama. He must have been tired.
