WTF with Marc Maron (it's a podcast)

so is this what all his "trying to get into captain beefheart" schtick was about last year?

loooool

lol

He's mentioned doing things with Moon (and her kid, and the kid's friend) in just about every episode for the past month, after announcing he was "dating age-appropriately."

BTW gossiping aside, the Amstell interview was the best one in months, I thought (and was delightedly surprised by).

Yeah, that was great. After watching a bunch of Never Mind the Buzzcocks on Youtube, it was pretty cool to hear him being a normal, insecure human being.

I'm not going to get to listen to it for at least a couple of days, but I'm really curious about the Ron White one. And the one with Dr. Bronner's son, too, of course!

I haven't listened by my girlfriend just heard the Bronner episode and he mentions dating Moon.

And she said "he said everyone seemed to have guessed already".

He reads this thread, right?

I like how detailed he gets with the timeline of their relationship--possibly to prevent people thinking he was cheating on jess

Ron White was great because Ron White is great. The handwringing explanation of the Moon relationship made me feel sad for them both that he feels he has to get into it at all.

^this. I don't really listen to the opening monologue stuff if I can help it, but man I always get the creeps when he starts talking about his relationships.

jason isbell has apparently recorded a wtf episode with maron :D

I haven't listened to WTF in many many weeks. Was going to break my dry spell with the Ron White one, so I check the thread and find out he's seeing Moon Zappa now? I thought there was something going on with them, even if neither was acting on it at the time the interview was taped.

yeah i thought the same

"Man, I used to have such a crush on you." "Aw, I used to have such a crush on you, too!" "Ha ha, what a shame we never knew and didn't do anything about it."

uh oh wonder if Moon is going to on the mic all the time now

Listening to him tell the Moon story now, and when this inevitably falls apart after he's invested himself so deeply in something that sounds perhaps a little volatile, he's going to be a fucking mess for years.

Or it might work out. However, this is Marc Maron we're talking about.

heard Maron on a Grantland podcast today--he gets way bummed out when the interviewer keeps asking him why he never went for coffee with Jon Stewart

Listening to him tell the Moon story now, and when this inevitably falls apart after he's invested himself so deeply in something that sounds perhaps a little volatile, he's going to be a fucking mess for years.

yeah, i was thinking that someone with a young child might have a little less tolerance for a guy whose default relationsip mode seems to be throwing rage fits.

or someone calm and grounded might be better for him than someone who throws such rage fits that he once changed all the locks on his house

Again I'm way behind, but boy this Patrick Stickles interview is making me re-think how much I actually like Titus Andronicus.

the last album did that for me

Ha, true, but they'd earner a pass on that one by how awesome the previous two were.

jon ronson ep is really good ! for a nice change Maron's pretty knowledgeable on the subject matter...though unfortunately that gets annoying pretty quickly because he keeps stepping on Ronson's stories and showing off how much he knows. but it's still cool, i can dig it

man I need to brush up on my conspiracies, I'd never heard of bohemian grove

i interviewed JR once, he was rad

I know a bohemian grover!

I only know about Bohemian Grove because I read Them a long time ago. That was where I first heard of Alex Jones too.

I was thinking about the Grove last week because of where True Detective was heading

i find ronson so endearing! he's just so jazzed about wading around in the muck with all these wackadoodle people, it's awesome

But the Grove. LOL! I'm curious how the group that seemed to have started out as actors and musicians and whatever frolicking in the woods over time morphs into this higher-echelon businessmen/moguls/politicians thing

the giant owl thing is AWESOME, like wtf

love that when Tom Arnold makes an aside about his sister being the meth lord of mid-west, Maron's only follow up question is "So your whole family is famous, huh?"

Billy Connolly ep. is pretty good. He's just so much fun to listen to - I could listen to him read cereal boxes.

ooh I will have to listen, i have loved him since I was a kid

Connolly was great. Wish he had a regular podcast.

he should narrate audiobooks

i'm bummed that kevin macdonald doesn't get a full hour, but the mcdonald/macdonald mixup is pretty funny (i do a double take whenever i see the director's name too, the KitH version is the one true Kevin for me).

once listened to an interview with connolly on Citizen Radio and my coworkers kept telling me to turn it down because they could hear connolly's voice out of my headphones

Listening to him completely wing it with Macdonald right now and I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for the garage to fall down.

Result: Maron should completely wing it more often, because that was a really good talk.

i guess kevin #2 did get a full hour after all. he's just adorable.

this is cool, the donald cammell doc is going to be an extra on the bluray 'white of the eye' release (unfortunately region 2)

Just listened to the Maron episode of Jeff Garlin's podcast and laughed all the way to work.

yes! i love that episode!

listened to two first Garlin podcast eps - but as much as I love the guy in Curb, I just found him insufferable on his own show. Maybe I'll check out the Maron ep tho.

I'm not sure if it's online anywhere now, but there's a Garlin interview with Elvis Mitchell on the treatment that's also really fabulous.

Just listening to this Tom Arnold episode and listening to him talk about his abuser is pretty heavy.

Ha! I never was even aware of this April Fool's joke fight that Tom Arnold and Michael Strahan staged on Best Damn Sports Show. Tom goes into a little bit...enough to make me go hunt up the video. Congratulations all around.

Jason Isbell today, Patterson Hood on Friday

:D :D :D :D :D

Hoping for some good Muscle Shoals talk.
