Dear diary, today I
became a captain.
I really enjoyed the interview with peaches. I've known her music for so long but didn't know the slightest thing about her.

Lorne's one of the dwindling wtfs that feels special, but Marcs so open and likes everything and everyone so much now I'm worried hes going to be all magnanimous.

Has he ever done anything but feel-good softball interviews?

He used to insult people passive aggressively and openly have opinions (like Dmitri Martin sucks). He hated Lorne Michaels, now he probably respects him or something.

The first 300 episodes before he ran out of people he knew personally AKA people he insulted personally.

I just listened to that one today coincidentally, and it was pretty bad. He was really nasty to Demetri.

The martin episode does give you some insight into his loving weirdo head. Which makes me wonder how loving strained and crazy the Stewart/Maron relationship must really be.

I figure Jon Stewart doesn't need Marc Maron anywhere as much as Marc Maron needs Jon Stewart to bury the hatchet.

The peak of WTF for me is still the Michael Ian Black episode. The build up of the tension between those two felt like it was going on for years and during the episode it gets so tense Black can't stand to sit anymore and he directly confronts Marc saying Marc didn't think he was funny.

Really? I remember really liking that episode because Marc was nice to a young comic for once. He gives him fatherly advice not to be cynical and even plays one of Burnham's songs at the end. Marc never plays anybody's material. It was the same song he did on Paul Provenza's show with Maron so that must've been where they met.

Well. I can say that I got about halfway through on the Howl app before the loving thing crashed on me, and I got annoyed and didn't try to relisten to it. Maybe it got better towards the end, but the first half is condescending as gently caress.

Saw Marc live last night. He did a great show, even though he was still suffering from jet lag. He did just over 2 hours, just flowed nicely for him, the crowd love him and gave him a standing ovation at the end

I think he can hear you, Ray.
I liked Patricia Arquette's reading of Lost Highway. I never considered it was Lynch writing a response to the OJ trial. On the whole it ended better than it started, since she clearly didn't want to discuss much about her childhood, even though it sounded pretty crazy.

I'd love it if he made a cut of all the different Lorne impressions. I find it hilarious that every single person who talks about him does an impression of him.

I like listening to these old episodes, and hadn't noticed the Mike Myers one, so that was nice. I'm listening to the old Gallagher episode, and holy gently caress is Gallagher just a bitter, unpleasant old gently caress. Screw him.

In looking around a little, he's apparently upset that he doesn't get more respect, is obviously hugely bitter over not being more successful and ever having a TV show, and sounds like an out of touch old man. Which, considering he's 70 now, makes sense. But holy poo poo, is he this argumentative, contrary, and unable to respect anyone else on other interview shows? What was he like on walking the room? I intend to listen to WTR, but haven't yet done so.

It's a live one and they do everything they can to keep him from feeling like he's being attacked. He's still on a hair trigger and acts like everyone's out to gt him.

Now is the time for us to gather together and celebrate those things that we like and think are fun.
The "Probably Science" episode with Gallagher and Peter Serafinowicz was really good if only because Peter wouldn't take any of his racist poo poo.

Norm Macdonald is a good one. The Jimmie Walker one is also surprisingly good.

Here's what Dave Anthony said about Gallagher after he was on Walking the Room: Gallagher is the Saddest Comedian Alive.

I was really impressed with how Peter Serafinowicz handled that. Gallagher seemed to be hinting at some weird theory about Mexicans, but was couching it all in vague language and questionable statistics and "just asking questions". Peter Serafinowicz basically cut him off and said what's your point, because it sounds like you're building up to calling an ethnicity inferior, and if you're not you better make that real clear right now.

So, basically what happens when a very specific, glass-ceiling'd kind of comedy fame and a certain mindset of life starts getting up there in age and Father Time starts nibbling at the faculties, while resentment towards not being able to get anything going that is "cushy" and a guaranteed paycheck pickles him.

Jeez. You'd think he'd just go down to Branson, Missouri and try to get a casino gig. I bet he could easily get that kind of steady show.

My favorite part of the Gallagher episode was him saying that comedians are bitter that he gets to work state fairs and they don't.

Also, this feels obvious, but listen to the Robin Williams episodes. Even if you've heard it. Just listen again.

Donnel Rawlings, Michael Ian Black, and Andy Daly are all charming. Rawlings has an interesting life story and goes off on black rooms and race in comedy. Michael Ian Black v Marc Maron is the most tense ever, until maybe Lorne, we'll see. And Andy Daly's is hilarious because everything he says about himself has Marc caught between laughter and pity, and marc just going Really? Really? You were that guy? and painting in details while Andy tries to pass Highschool and get to his career, which I dont think he really achieved, but its been awhile.

And the Bob Zmuda episode is great, Marc lets him go for two hours of Andy Kaufman/Tony Clifton mythologizing, which some people hate but I think is great
