WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

Todd Hanson's one still cuts me.

Todd Hanson was amazing but it broke me

simon pegg worked @ the same place as fred west!@

has anyone else listened to Maynard James Keenan?

It's p great but Mr Veg totally fucked with my head - I got about halfway through and was telling him about the interview & he's all, 'You know he makes a ton of shit up, right?' and I knew that but I hadn't actually thought about it til right then

and now I'm listening and I'm like, huh. some of this does sound kinda bullshitty.

but wtf I'm enjoying it anyway so who cares

halfway through the Garry Shandling one and it's a bit disappointing. I'd rather listen to Shandling talk politics and Buddhism for an hour without being interrupted by Maron talking about his mother.

YACHT: We were into mid- early 90s pop-punk

Maron: You mean like They Might Be Giants?

FYI Maron is being interviewed by Jeff Garlin live @ largo on Jeff's latest episode of 'By the way'. I haven't been able to listen to it yet because I can't deal with people who analyze themselves endlessly but I kind of want to because I know Jeff will give him total shit about it.

I heart Catherine O'Hara's laugh so much

It's the best.

yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah. yeah. uh huh. yeah. yeah. Really? yeah. yeah. Do you know Lorne? yeah. yeah. yeah. un huh. yeah. yeah.

I was amused by Baratunde reffing all this nerd shit and it completely flying over Marc's head

Robert Wuhl's stories about Dangerfield were great.

I haven't been super stoked to listen to any of the recent guests, but I'll queue up Baratunde next.

btw, I actually don't mind the constant digging for tidbits of Lorne Michaels information. I'm as curious about that guy as Marc is apparently.

The constant need to yeah yeah yeah uh huh uh yeah throughout the Robert Wuhl yeah yeah interview was driving me up a uh huh wall.

lol I can't even figure out why you still listen to these.

I'm interested in the people he interviews! Like you said, Wuhl's Rodney stories were amazing. But yeah yeah, I'm over Marc big time.

Wuhl's career was so terrible I kinda don't want to listen for fear I'll like him. But Rodney stories...

That will forever be the start and finish of my associations for Robert Wuhl. There was four(!) copies of that card in the first pack of Batman trading cards I ever bought.

Haven't listened yet, but Curt Kirkwood!

Or Kirk Curtwood, even.

!

wuhl was really great talking abt nicholson getting advice from john wayne -- lol @ "no.....one.....talks......slower......than.....i........do"

am a little ways into the kirkwood interview -- it's nice! he sounds SOOO nervous though, it's kinda cute. makes me like him even more

The Monty Hall interview is stellar. I love the old comedy/show biz guys he gets - the interviews with Mel Brooks, Dick Van Dyke and Hall are just great, and you realize just how talented those dudes were, and how hard they worked back in the day.

Also - Maron has a healthy amount of respect/ reverence for those guys, so his interruptions are kept to a minimum.

i've been listening to jeff garlin's podcast, it's a nice change of pace from maron, but maron's episode is actually the funniest one so far. maybe that's when he's at his best comedically (for my tastes anyway), in conversation but when it's not his show so he's free to be a dick.

also if you think maron interrupts his guests, you have no idea.

I liked the Kirkwood interview for his input, but was pretty dissatisfied with Maron's end of things. "What do you think of Captain Beefheart?" "What do you think of Frank Zappa?" He just didn't ask very many great questions. Curt was amiable and gracious. Hope he's doing alright though. At points, he sounded like he was struggling a little to speak or something.

Loved the Kirkwood interview but "So, do you know how to pick?" cracked me up.

maron's episode is actually the funniest one so far. maybe that's when he's at his best comedically (for my tastes anyway), in conversation but when it's not his show so he's free to be a dick.

Maron being a dick on Walking The Room is hilaires

garlin & walking the room appearances are a+

The first Garlin episode with Larry David was A++, I generally can't handle his interruptions with other guests though. So much worse than Maron.

i liked the Lena Dunham conversation

I've interviewed Curt before, and he was super fun to speak with. Just talked and talked and talked.

He seems like a lovely kinda guy

I had to stop listening to the Henry Rollins appearance on Garlin. He really enjoyed laughing at his own jokes and only seemed vaguely aware of who Henry Rollins was.

the colin hay one is weird, like listening to 2 strangers talk in a departure lounge

Veg OTM that Lena Dunham convo was great. The recent Bob Odenkirk one was pretty good too. And of course LD.

Garlin is Baron Von Festival

The other interview podcast I listen to alongside WTF is Alec Baldwin's.

i cant stand that podcast even though i love alec baldwin.

i was really psyched for the Baldwin one but it bums me out that the conversations are so short and weirdly edited with voiceover and shit

that Dick Cavett convo should have been 2 hours at LEAST

I've listened to a few of Jeff Garlin's podcasts now, and they're pretty good (even the JJ Abrams one is good for gossipy showbiz anecdotes), it's just a shame that they're recorded before an audience. Richard Herring's Theatre Podcast is the same, and the problem with this format is that both guest and host end up forever going for a gag, as opposed to the slightly more conversational WTF. But whatever.

true im not a fan of all the 'oh oh do the one where x x and x'

Every time I think I'm done he gets someone like Laura Dern who overwhelms his tics and knocks it out of the park.

Yeah, that was a great one. Probably one of the best.

I love that he still has great difficulty remembering when things happened in the eighties, though. i.e. there is NO WAY Blue Velvet could've come out in 1981.

Drug abuse does a number on your perception of time.

I think it's more that he's in denial about how old he is. Laura Dern was talking about being a teenager when she starred in Blue Velvet so he decided he must have been in high school then too.

what up what the fuckers, what the fuckanettes, what the fuckanauts
