I enjoyed that one, Andy Daly had some troubles but is a pretty normal guy that's just talented. I guess it may not make a dramatic pod, but having someone who isn't a walking disaster is nice every once in a while, too.

Yeah, Andy Daly reminds me of the character he plays on Reno 911, the one that shoots himself in the head.

But I mean the interviews are basically all about himself too

"Aren't you miserable? I'm miserable. My Girlfriend is crazy and I hate her. I love her so much. New comedy is terrible huh? This has been WTF with Marc Maron"

Marc is such an rear end in a top hat about "the craft" or w/e. Its the same sentiment that causes him to abuse younger comics. He is the loving worst thing about any industry where you have to "put your time in". I think he is a funny guy and whip smart but lord, what an rear end in a top hat.

Old comics who get upset by "oversensitivity " typically are just assholes. If you're gonna say hurtful poo poo, own up to it instead of blaming the audience.

On the whole Louis CK topic, I think that the crux of the issue is that despite his own ability to make hurtful comedy transformative, he lacks the capability to project that talent on to a significant part of his audience. Its the same story over and over again. Its Chris Rock not doing black people vs niggers because of how it was accidentally encouraging white people to be huge hateful assholes. \

As for Marc? He's an unrepentant whatthefucker and I don't know why Pete Holmes hasn't grown out of him yet.

I think it's relatively safe to assume anyone that lives their life "on the road" is occasionally unfaithful but speculating on it is pretty, something. Tasteless? Unfair?

Listen to "Sleepwalk with Me" for a touching example of this.

Just got the App/Premium the other day and working through some of the ones in the OP. Listened to the Carlos Mencia ones and yes, it pretty much cemented the fact the guy is a douche and doesn't deserve his success. Dane Cook I didn't like before listening, listened to the podcast, he was very sincere on it I have a much lighter view of him now. The Gallagher one though was amazing, I can't believe he walked out on Marc when he was just asking questions. That was a good podcast. I am pretty much hooked on WTF now having only heard it this week from this thread.

I know it can be difficult to listen to pete holmes but Dane definitely seems like a decent dude who had a lot of lovely things happen to him which coincided with the waning of his popularity. Whether you like his comedy or not, it's hard to ascribe the total rear end in a top hat moniker to him after hearing his story in his words.

Im willing to bet that it was as much of Marc's fault as it was of hers.

Ooh, I can't wait to see how long it takes him to bring up his boyfriend who's, like, 21. I heard that's a thing he tends to do.

I would love it if Marc got really antagonistic towards him but I doubt he'll go in that direction.

What Marc said is not really anything to get pissed about.

agreed but I'd imagine being around him in professional circles must be loving grating still.
