That's a funny story. At the last comedy show I went to, the relatively talentless opener made a big show of saying 'I'm the performer! I have to get in!' as he walked up to the club, so...compare and contrast.

One of the ways that I know Maron is really good at this is the fact that I came out of the Kevin Smith interview kinda liking the guy. He did a good job of keeping Smith's excesses in check while still letting him tell his story. Smith kinda lost me again in the last few minutes when he started railing about people who don't like his movies, but up until then I was on his side in a way I haven't ever been before.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

I like him, always have. His movies are an acquired taste...I like a few of them. He has a knack for storytelling. The article(and/or account) he wrote about his friend Jason Mews and his experience in dealing with addiction was quite moving. He knows how to write...

amiright??

I like how he talked about how the critics didn't mean anything to him and he didn't care because his house was so big, but then blamed his critics for all the changes in his more recent career (leaving the viewaskewnaverse [Mike, did I spell that right?], directing Cop Out, etc, etc.)

Smith is also on Nerdist this week. What's he got coming out that he's shilling so hard?

That and because he's fat.  :o

I also couldn't take the Charles Fleischer live episode.  That guy makes Robin Williams seem like Steven Wright.

I'm listening to that one right now. Fucking painful. Especially when he randomly breaks into the "ethnic" voices.It's even worse than what I was expecting from the Robin Williams episode.

I wonder how difficult it was for Maron to talk to someone so infinitely more talented, charming, and interesting (Oswalt) YET CONTINUE to remain so woefully self-absorbed.....

I wonder how tough that is to pull off? 

"So, the mouse movie...."

"Yeah, so, then you got a book or something....."

What the fuck indeed!

It seemed pretty obvious to me that Maron was joking around with Oswalt when he said those things. And if it didn't bother Patton, why let it bother you?

based on marc's tweets yesterday, i'm really looking forward to the gallagher interview.  it sounds much like the av club article. 

for a guy who i don't know much about, i enjoyed the recent joe mande interview.

Oh wow. I'm looking forward to that with a mixture of fascination and dread.
