So for those who read the names before they download the episode, don't pass up the Melissa Etheridge episode. Spoiler alert - she tries to gift Marc some weed within the first ten minutes of the interview.

I just listened to the Melanie Lynskey episode - I was finishing it tonight as I was driving home on an almost empty road, and the most amazing electric guitar version of Auld Lang Syne came on at the end of the episode. Anyone know who that is? Running through lovely versions on spotify is giving me a rage stroke.

Pretty sure Marc's been messing around on the guitar at the end of episodes for a while now

It sounded more composed than "messing around" so I wasn't sure it was him.

Linklater should be worth listening to, if you haven't seen Boyhood yet be sure to check it out. I never thought I'd be upset that a three hour movie was over and wanting more at the end, but hey it happened.

The Linklater and Paul Thomas Anderson interviews were great. Also, Cosby refused to do the show because it had 'gently caress' in the title.

I like the more recent clips of his that I've seen more than older stuff. He got in a stupid tiff with Dane Cook a few years back for tweeting when Dane bumped him to do a set where he was working out new material (then Deathsquad got involved).

Miller, like, sort of as a person always sort of annoyed me. But he’s loving, he’s great, and I know him and I’m a known cranky bastard, but he’s great in that."

That's what everyone says about TJ, I don't know why that'd get him worked up. Dude had a growth in his brain and it took people months to realize he was being extra annoying. Edit: If you ever find yourself watching the most recent Yogi Bear movie, realize that all throughout filming TJ had an arteriovenous malformation growing inside his head. Edit 2: Upon further research, I guess it wasn't a growth, but an abnormal connection between the arteries and veins in his brain, and it could have existed since birth. It just didn't manifest symptoms until he was filming. Raar_Im_A_Dinosaur fucked around with this message at 07:13 on Jan 21, 2015 |

TJ's stand-up is funny, but listening to him riff is fantastic. He was one of the headliners at a comedy festival that I helped out at, so I saw him do four or five sets over four days and seeing how he would weave in and out of material in different ways each time was truly impressive.

Marc had a guest who did a kickass cover of Masters of War. Unfortunately it was so long ago I can't remember who that was. Any of you know?

But I think it's the second time Maron has thrown shade at Miller now, and I did read something which said that Miller was just loving with Maron to annoy him rather than being genuinely pissed off with him. However, it will make a great episode if he gets him on.

Lots of headliner comics pop into clubs to work on new material and as a consequence other comedians have to wait for them to finish before they can go on. Unless its Dave Chappelle who will drop into a club and do two hours, its usually only 10-20 minutes of a comedian working on a premise or two, fine-tuning them to take on the road, for a tv spot, or for a special. Any hour special or late night talk show you've watched where a comedian has performed, they have bumped a lesser-known comic in a club to refine a bit or get the timing down for a tv spot. It happens and is accepted. To bitch about it can be understandable, but to tweet the actual content of a work in progress is a really lovely thing to do. Even if it was Dane. You could even take this into a discussion of west coast versus east coast comedy and how the clubs and comedians themselves are different, but that's a lot to talk about.

Wow it's pretty serious to throw shade like that. I hope Mark Maron doesn't throw shade again.

Yeah it's pretty much something that every comic does to try out material. Chances are if you hear about a comic meeting their idols they'll always tell a story about how so and so showed up that night to do a set and just went on at like midnight or something and yes, it's always at the expense of someone else.. It doesn't matter who the comic is, livetweeting their in progress stuff is something to be frowned upon. I mean Cook is still an rear end, but it's like why bother ripping the piss out of a work in progress?

If I recall correctly, TJ wasn't tweeting the jokes Dane was working on. That's a move that almost no professional comedian would pull on a fellow comic, no matter how mad they were, if for no other reason than it having a huge amount of blowback, regardless of who was "right". He was tweeting about Dane bumping people and doing, like, two hours of rambling, aggressive material that was making the crowd uncomfortable. TJ understood getting bumped because it's Dane's home club and he's earned the right to just walk on. It was Dane going so long, making the show unsalvageable for anyone who had to follow, and making it questionable if there would even still be an audience left. Dane even talked about it a little on Rogan's podcast about how he was in a weird place that night and was working through it on stage. Again, this is just how I remember it and I could be wrong. Not saying this means anything or lends me any sort of credibility, but I listened to this being discussed from the point of view of someone who does a lot of open mics and I couldn't help but agree with TJ. That said, he absolutely handled it wrong by airing his grievances publicly.

Little six degrees of separation this episode! I'm kind of excited about this. WTF has Kevin Allison as a guest this week. Kevin Allison hosts storytelling show RISK! I'm a guest on RISK! this week. That's me in the thumbnail. My brush with fame for today. The downloads for my show have gone through the goddamned roof.

I've been listening to WTF for about a year now (started when Marc reposted the Robin Williams interview) and find most of his interviews pretty good. The insecurity thing can be a bit wearing, but it's part of Marc and I have become used to it. One day I'll get around to subscribing so I can hear his earlier interviews.
