Dancing Potato posted:Hamm and Bryan Cranston this week! I used to feel sorry for Maron when I first started listening because I thought he was an extremely paranoid person who thought he had all these issues with people that were largely imaginary. Then after listening more regularly I realized the issues were not imaginary at all and that he was a huge dickhead who actually offended a lot of people. Now, off the drugs and alcohol, he's apparently reformed and making amends with the people he's offended over the years. But you still can see the rear end in a top hat part of his personality in him when he interviews people like Chris Hardwick, Nick Thune and to a somewhat lesser extent, Anthony Jeselnik (you're a joke guy). He has no respect for these people and makes only half hearted attempts to conceal it. It's somewhat ironic that he considers himself some sort of comedy purist, a protector of the "right" way of doing stand up, when the reality is that he was never that funny. He's caught up in this idea of real comedy requiring the comedian to expose his inner fears and hang-ups when, at least in my opinion, it's about making people laugh, something Maron never did very well. All that considered, I think it's kind of odd that he's able to get such great guests. He's become like the Johnny Carson of comedy interview podcasts. And though I don't particular like him as a person, I'm going to keep listening as long as he keeps getting the guests.

You should link to some of your favorite clips if they are out there on youtube. I'd be interested in checking them out.

I thought the weird thing about the Carrot Top interview is that Maron is trying to go deeper by asking him how he feels about people not respecting him and his act, but that's not just "people", that's Maron. He's talking about it in the third person when he is the guy always leading the charge when it comes to putting down the work of others when it doesn't conform to his idea of what a comedian should be. It would have been cool if Carrot Top turned it around and said "Well, Marc, tell us how you feel about meeting someone who turns out to be a decent person when you've been a huge dick to that person all your life."SpacePig posted:I won't comment on WTF, though, because I've only listened to the Norm episode, and it just doesn't seem like the type of show for me. Maron is good if you're a comedy junkie because he interviews everyone, but it's not really a comedy show.

Wtf? no WTF thread? Penn really gets into the libertarian propaganda in the latest WTF but I didn't find it as annoying as I thought I would. It would have been nice if Maron could have challenged him a little more though, specifically I thought it odd that someone who professes to be such a fan of Zinn's People's History of the United States didn't think to ask Penn why the magical libertarian charity world never manifested itself before the advent of labor laws. But Penn is pretty likable even when doing his political schtick.

Fil5000 posted:Although if I hear him say "kick in some shekels" once more, I will scream. I have no idea why his repetition of the phrase annoys me, but it does. His phrase that I find the most annoying is "Who are your guys?" I'm not exactly sure why, but I think it has something to do with the implication that most people can be defined by a small group of writers/comedians/whatever that they enjoyed when they were 15/20/X years old. But it's probably mostly the phrasing. If he asked, "who were your comedic influences when you were first breaking into comedy?" it would bother me much less.

I like to think the comedian from the Louie episode called "Eddie" was based on Marc Maron. Hulu: http://www.hulu.com/watch/267683/louie-eddie#s-p1-so-i0 (expires in 3 days!) Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddie_%28Louie%29

mcvey posted:"Eddie" is based(and played) off of Stanhope... no idea where you got Maron from all of that. It was mostly the bitterness, inability to succeed in a conventional sense, disdain for the success of others, and belief that his comedy is more profound and important than that of other comedians.

DangerDummy! posted:Does anyone have any interest in a Phil Hendrie thread? His back catalog is amazing (minus a couple years post 9/11), and the New New Phil Hendrie show is pretty decent, though not a total return to form. Thoughts? I used to enjoy Hendrie on the radio in south Florida before he went all neo-con muslim hater and lost his sense of humor after 9/11. I would follow it, but I don't know if I would contribute. I have a couple of very old clips, but if he's strict about old stuff being released I guess I shouldn't post them.

DangerDummy! posted:Yeah, I didn't think I'd see a huge groundswell of excitement for the idea. It's too bad, because I don't think there are too many people with more raw talent than Phil, but he just can't stop being a loving dickhead. One of my favorite pre-9/11 bits was the Muslim guy who used the America flag to wash his car and wipe off his dog's rear end. "This is a free country!" (While that may sound like post-9/11 Muslim baiting, those familiar with the show realize it's the opposite: the humor is in the callers who get enraged over the things said by the "guest"). A few months later Hendrie would become the people he is mocking on that episode. Start the thread and see what happens. I'd be interesting in hearing what he's been doing for the last ten years. Most of the posts in the Marc Maron thread are by people who cant stand him personally but listen anyway, so I guess Hendrie's horrible personality traits are no reason to not have a thread. I've got a couple of really old ones that more recent fans may have never heard. One of my personal favorites is Phil playing the "Let me put you on hold for a second" gag on an elderly woman who calls the station to complain about Neil Rogers (a now-dead south Florida radio icon).

In the 3rd Adam Scott was a welcome addition and of course the 4th was the actual Phish show episode which I thoroughly enjoyed. I think I want to go to a Phish show now. Are there any women at these things or is it a straight up sausage fest?

I just saw a boycott list of Rush Limbaugh's sponsors and some of the names are the same companies that sponsor most of the podcasts I listen to, including LegalZoom, Carbonite, GoToMyPC, and ProFlowers. But I guess EarWolf and other podcast networks are not really in a financial position to refuse any sponsors, so there's no use criticizing them for it. I already don't use the products/services from those companies so it makes no difference to my life. Jungledisk > Carbonite and GoToMyPC sucks compared to alternatives like TeamViewer.

SpacePig posted:Has this improved at all in the last few months? I used to listen to it pretty religiously, and it was the first podcast I listened to, but it just got boring and almost frustrating to try to listen to. It also didn't help that he had a hard time releasing it by Monday, and switched hosts 2 or 3 times in a couple of months' time. His hosting situation now seems constant, yet comically slow. Downloads are usually < 10kb a sec, even if you download it it days after it is released. The podcast itself is the same. He's a funny guy, but since he rarely has guests it tends to get repetitive. I recommend listening to it once a month or so rather than every week so it doesn't get stale.

GoutPatrol posted:Would there be enough interest for a We Hate Movies thread? It's one of my favorite podcasts. I think you could make a comedy film podcast thread and cover We Hate Movies, The Flophouse, and How Did This Get Made? (and any others out there). This way you could turn people on to the other ones they may not yet have heard. Also, we could refer to them using abbreviations like WHM and TFH and talk about how HDTGM sucks compared to WHM and TFH.

synertia posted:I normally like How Did This Get Made? Jason always makes me laugh and there's usually a few gem comments in there. This week is just a mess. The guests are terrible, going off topic constantly, and they just keep talking over each other too much. It's not an excited thing like Pete Holmes, it's just frustrating and terrible. Paul Scheer even goes "Can we please talk about the movie?" Awful. Have you tried "We Hate Movies" or "The Flophouse" yet? They're pretty much the same concept but both are consistently better than "How Did This Get Made?" despite having less famous hosts. Speaking of which... Does anyone listen to "Comedy Film Nerds" and if so, how does it compare to the three I just mentioned?

I'm looking forward to trying the Dana Gould Hour. If anyone is looking for a new podcast to try I usually enjoy the Stuff You Should Know podcast. http://entertainment.howstuffworks.com/hsw-shows/stuff-you-should-know-podcast.htm They aren't experts on the topics they discuss and it seems like they prepare for the show mostly by reading sources like Wikipedia, but is very easy to listen to and you might learn something! e: I guess this isn't really comedy, but they do take a lighthearted or semi-serious approach to the subjects.

I'm giving it a try thanks to your recommendation, but I'm 15 minutes in and so far it's difficult listening. He just talks so drat fast it sounds like he's having a manic episode. And I'm finding the female Ed McMahon laughing and whooping in the background to be pretty annoying. It's sounds like the bizarro world Pod F. Tompcast. I feel like he's going to give me a seizure.

I like both of them so I was disappointed it wasn't better. Does anyone know if it gets any better and would recommend listening to some of the more recent episodes? Sorry if this has been discussed before, but Rapidly Going Deaf doesn't seem to be listed as an option in the forums search.
