Yeah, yikes.  I gave up on the Matt Graham one when he started calling all women cunts, and I was like, what sane person would want to date this annoying crazy dude?  Then I listened to the beginning of the Bill Lawrence interview and heard Maron talk about all the emails he was getting, so I went back.  Hoo boy.  I know he explained it pretty thoroughly, but how does one manage to do that?

On a lighter (but still kinda sad) note, I read Fred Stoller's Kindle Single from hearing his WTF interview and it was pretty great.

I thought the Matt graham interview was fascinating. Not in a good way, but I still couldn't stop listening. I'm not convinced Marc really needed to leave in the end bit where Matt essentially begs him for $50, but I also can't say that if Matt knew he was being recorded then there's no reason not to use it and again, it was weirdly compelling and sad.

Man, I HOPE that part at the end was a bit, but it sure didn't feel like one.  I thought that guy seemed really bitter and sad.  I was not rooting for him at the end.

No it didn't. But like someone else up in here said, he knew that he was talking into a microphone; he actually came back to add that Afterword. It was hard to listen to.

The Nick Lowe interview was a delight. There is no musician I have more love for than him, and he and Marc seemed to get along well.

According to Maron's Twitter feed coming soon: Maron vs Wayne Coyne...

That should be great. Even if you don't care for The Flaming Lips, Wayne seems like one of the genuinely nicest and coolest guys around...

As do I. I was kinda turned off by the bit near the beginning of the final part when he was discussing the woman he met. If this part is true, he might want to think about two things:
1) If you're doing comedy about what a loser you are AND you think you're a loser, many women will get turned off...
2) Many women aren't into guys who actually view women as "soul crushing cunts"...

Finally got to the Matt Graham interview. Pretty tough sledding all the way, although by the end my mind was mentally filtering out 'you know'. Tragic really, a classic case of somebody with raw talent and intellect just never getting it together.

The post states it's neither WTF nor Best Show but something entirely different.

I know opinion is pretty divided on the merits of the live episodes, but the recent Boston show is one of my all-time favorite WTF episodes.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.
